Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

Ouyang Xu pretended to ponder, hesitated for a long while, and then said:

"They've just believed those rumors, so they want you to choose a husband quickly! Well then, just pick one."

Changning was taken aback at first, then slowly released Ouyang Xu's hand, her brows furrowed:

"Master, what are you saying? How can you say that? You know perfectly well what I'm like~"

Ouyang Xu quickly and gently comforted him:

"Yes, yes, Master knows, Master knows. Master means, you can pretend to choose a consort first. Anyway, after that surgery, you'll have a completely new you. As for everything before, it will have nothing to do with you back then. This way, we can avoid those old fogies nagging in court. It will also shut everyone up and stop their speculations. And it won't have any impact on you in the future, or on the position you'll get."

"Isn't this a great idea?!"

Changning's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her flickering eyes showed that she was interested, but still hesitated.

"But I'm afraid he'll mind! If he overthinks it, I—"

Ouyang Xu thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"What's so difficult about that? Just find a man who isn't a real man, that way, he won't think anything of it, right?"

Changning's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again:

"No, no, I, a princess of this country, marrying a eunuch? Putting aside the disgrace to the royal family, those old fogies would never believe it. In fact, they'd be even more convinced that their suspicions are true. This won't do, this won't do."

Ouyang Xu's eyes flickered slightly, but his smile was enigmatic:

"You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly let you marry a eunuch?"

Changning was puzzled:

"What do you mean?"

Ouyang Xu laughed:

"What I mean is, we need to find someone whose status isn't too high, but also not too low. Too high, and they'll be hard to control. Too low, and they won't be trustworthy. And this person is a eunuch in name and in fact, but not a eunuch!"

He finished speaking in a roundabout way, then stared at Changning with expectant eyes.

Changning pondered for a while, then suddenly opened her eyes wide in realization:

"Master, you're so clever! How come I didn't think of that? Yes, yes, finding someone like that will not only shut those old fogies up, but also prevent them from overthinking things."

"Why didn't I think of that before? Master is the best. If you had come back sooner, I wouldn't have had to worry so much lately."

Ouyang Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

If so, we shouldn't try to find a way to appease her.

She was definitely impatient and urged him to perform the surgery on her as soon as possible.

However, he had only seen that kind of surgery in an old book; he had no idea how to do it.

He only wanted to make better use of her, get more money, and accumulate his own power.

That's why, after guessing her relationship with that person, he tentatively mentioned the surgery. Sure enough, she was immediately overjoyed and told him to go ahead and prepare the necessary medicines and instruments for the surgery.

It doesn't matter how much money it costs.

In the early stages, he did enjoy the increased wealth she provided and the growing number of extraordinary people she gathered.

However, as time went on, her patience dwindled.

The intervals between urging him to have surgery were getting shorter and shorter.

After all, those old fogies in the court have been urging her to find a husband for herself as soon as possible.

They pressured her, so naturally, she pressured him in return.

So, he suddenly had this idea on a whim. Unexpectedly, the more he talked about it, the more plausible it seemed.

A surge of smugness welled up inside me; it seemed I could finally have some peace and quiet again.

When the opportunity arose, he was allowed to meet the emperor, gain the emperor's favor, and become the imperial advisor. Then, he casually orchestrated a few events to win the people's affection.

They then amassed enough influence in the martial arts world to threaten the emperor.

At that time, what can Changning do to him?

Besides, if he sticks to his story and they can't find the necessary medicines, Changning might not even suspect he's been lying to her. In fact, she might become even more dependent on him as her loving master!

The more he thought about it, the more smug he became, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Changning, however, did not notice his unusual behavior, as she was lost in her own thoughts. Clearly, she was still considering the feasibility of this method.

After a long while, she looked at Ouyang Xu again:

"Master, I think your method is really feasible. But there's just one problem: where do we find this person?"

Ouyang Xu, however, hadn't considered this point. After a slight hesitation, he said:

"Don't worry, as long as the method works, we'll keep an eye out for the right person. Don't worry, just leave this to your mentor, and he'll definitely help you choose a suitable and capable candidate."

In order to appease Changning and prevent her from urging him again because there was no one else to choose from.

Ouyang Xu took the initiative and offered to find the person.

Changning nodded happily:

"Yes, Master, I knew you loved me the most. With you here, I don't have to worry about anything; you can solve everything for me."

Ouyang Xu smiled with apparent kindness, but inwardly he sneered:

Since you're so grateful to me, why won't you recommend me to the emperor?

Over the years, he had hinted to her countless times, both openly and secretly, to arrange for him to meet the emperor.

However, she always made excuses to avoid it.

If it weren't for the fact that she unconditionally fulfilled his demands for money and power, he would have doubted whether she was truly as dependent on and trusting of him as she appeared.

He scoffed inwardly, but his face grew even more loving:

"Girl, during my trip, I obtained some rare medicinal herbs and refined three Dragon Pattern Longevity Pills for His Majesty. Taking these pills will strengthen His Majesty's bones and prolong his life. However, the method of taking this medicine varies depending on the individual's physical condition, and different steps and medicinal guides are required."

"So, what do you think? How about I go and examine the Emperor?"
