The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Fang Qingyou originally planned to hand the prescription to She Yuyan and leave, leaving the rest to Doctor Yang of the She family. However, she ended up escorting Madam She all the way to the She family residence.

She Yuyan has a pair of shallow dimples when she smiles, which makes her look especially sweet, like a friendly and sweet girl next door. So Fang Qingyou simply can't resist her cuteness and coquettishness.

Upon arriving at the She residence, She Yuyan still refused to let Fang Qingyou leave, entertaining her with tea, snacks, and fruit.

Fang Qingyou had finally finished accepting She Yuyan's warm hospitality when She Ruifeng returned.

When She Ruifeng saw Fang Qingyou, he couldn't hide his joy: "Miss Fang, you're still here! That's great! I have something to tell you."

Fang Qingyou looked up at the sky speechlessly. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't.

Before Fang Qingyou could say anything, She Yuyan ran to She Ruifeng's side, happily taking his arm and saying, "Father, Miss Fang's medical skills are truly amazing! Even Doctor Yang was impressed by her. Mother's strange illness can finally be cured, and she'll get better soon!"

Upon hearing this, She Ruifeng was overjoyed and strode forward, bending down to kneel before Fang Qingyou. Startled, she quickly stopped him, saying, "General She, how can I accept such a grand gesture?"

Family is family. She had gone to great lengths to get Yu Yan to express her gratitude before, and now Yu Ruifeng had come again.

She Ruifeng insisted on kneeling down: "Miss Fang, you have done me a great favor by healing my wife. Please accept my bow."

Fang Qingyou's expression turned serious: "General She, I admire your heroic spirit and courage, and I see that you and Madam She are deeply in love. I am willing to treat Madam She, so please don't take it to heart, and don't make things difficult for me."

Seeing Fang Qingyou's troubled expression, She Ruifeng stood up and said, "Miss Fang is so righteous. I, She Ruifeng, will never forget this great kindness."

"General She is too kind." Fang Qingyou breathed a deep sigh of relief. If She Ruifeng had insisted on kneeling any longer, her arms would have been broken.

At this moment, She Yuyan looked at She Ruifeng curiously and asked, "Father, you just said you wanted to talk to Miss Fang about something. What exactly is it?"

Upon hearing this, She Ruifeng suddenly became serious and looked at Fang Qingyou, saying, "Miss Fang, when I entered the palace, I spoke to the Emperor about your medical skills. The Emperor praised you highly and said he wanted to summon you to the palace for an audience. You should prepare in the next few days; it will probably be in the next two or three days."

Upon hearing the words "enter the palace," Fang Qingyou had a very bad premonition. Hearing She Ruifeng's subsequent words, her expression changed drastically; he actually wanted her to enter the palace to meet the emperor…

Seeing Fang Qingyou's expression change instantly, She Ruifeng thought she had thought of something bad, so he quickly explained, "Miss Fang, you don't need to worry. The Emperor greatly values ​​talent, and wanting to see you is definitely not a bad thing."

She Yuyan also comforted her, saying, "Miss Fang, don't be afraid. The Emperor is very kind and not fierce."

Fang Qingyou's lips twitched. She wasn't afraid of the Emperor; she simply didn't want to have anything to do with the imperial family.

The imperial family is the most ruthless place; history is full of bloody facts that serve as a warning.

She truly did not want the imperial favor and glory that others would covet.

Moreover, the Emperor probably wants to see her because of the name Xiaoyaozi. If the Emperor really sees her, the whole world will probably know about it.

Initially, Fang Qingyou only wanted to find a reasonable explanation for her "out-of-touch" medical skills, but she never expected that her identity as Xiaoyaozi's disciple would be so hard to shake off.

Only Madam She glared at She Ruifeng with her eyes narrowed and said, "She Ruifeng, why did you tell the Emperor about Miss Fang?!"

Upon hearing Madam She address him by his first name, knowing she was angry, She Ruifeng hurried over, explaining with a forced smile, "Madam, I arrived at the palace a little late. When the Emperor asked, I told him about your sudden illness and how Miss Fang came to your rescue..."

Madam She snorted coldly, her expression showing disdain for She Ruifeng: "Bah! You pushed Miss Fang up there just to get yourself out of trouble!"

“Madam, you know I’m not that kind of person, I…” She Ruifeng tried to pull Madam She back to explain, but she forcefully shook off his hand.

She Ruifeng was both embarrassed and anxious: "Madam, I really didn't do it for myself, please let me explain."

Seeing this, She Yuyan quickly comforted Madam She, saying, "Mother, don't be angry. Father mentioned Miss Fang to the Emperor because he hoped that Miss Fang's reputation would spread and that she would have a bright future."

She Ruifeng nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Madam She's face grew even colder: "Hmph, Miss Fang is Xiaoyaozi's beloved disciple. What reputation does she not have that she needs?"

She Ruifeng chuckled, while She Yuyan stuck out her tongue as if she had done something wrong.

Watching the family of three bicker, Fang Qingyou felt that Madam She was not only angry that She Ruifeng had mentioned her to the Emperor, but also seemed to dislike the Emperor very much.

However, since the family's conflict ultimately stemmed from her, Fang Qingyou quickly advised, "Madam She, please don't blame General She. He meant well. An audience with the Emperor is an honor that most people would rather die than attain. What harm is there in me going to the palace?"

Upon hearing this, Madam She's expression softened slightly. Only then did She Ruifeng realize that Fang Qingyou wasn't so eager to go to the palace to meet the emperor, and it seemed that he had really meant well but ended up doing more harm than good.

Therefore, She Ruifeng couldn't help but feel guilty: "Miss Fang, I'm so sorry that I spoke of you to the Emperor without your permission. The imperial decree hasn't been issued yet, so I'll go to the palace and speak to the Emperor right away..."

With that, She Ruifeng turned and strode out.

Fang Qingyou's lips twitched, and she quickly called out to him, "General She, please wait!"

A king's word is law. Is She Ruifeng teasing the emperor with all this back and forth?

Throughout history, no matter how enlightened an emperor may be, he has always disliked his subjects challenging his imperial authority, especially when the challenger is a high-ranking military general.

Fang Qingyou did not want She Ruifeng to be feared by the Emperor because of her.

She Ruifeng stopped in his tracks: "Is there anything else, Miss Fang?"

"General She, you don't need to blame yourself. I think going to the palace to meet the Emperor was actually quite good. If my family knew, they would be very proud of me." Fang Qingyou's real thought was that she treated it as a day trip to the palace; she had never actually seen a real palace before.

"Miss Fang, are you really willing to go to the palace to see the Emperor?" Madam She pressed. "Miss Fang, don't wrong yourself. As long as you say no, I will have him go to the Emperor to rescind the imperial decree."

Fang Qingyou nodded: "No need, no need, I'd love to. This is such a rare opportunity, how could I not want it?"
