Upon hearing this, Emperor Renzong's face instantly turned extremely grim. He anxiously pressed, "If it's so dangerous, why are we still safe and sound?"

Jin Shuai smiled slightly and explained, "You eat well every day, so your constitution is better than that of ordinary people, and your physical fitness is naturally stronger. Besides, there's no need to rush. After all, it takes up to 20 days from infection to the onset of symptoms."

Emperor Renzong then asked, "So, does Young Master Jin have any effective remedies or medicines to treat this illness?"

Jin Shuai replied somewhat impatiently, "Didn't you ask me to come over to inquire about my condition? I've already said everything I needed to say! Now that there's nothing else, can I leave?"

Emperor Renzong frowned slightly, his face showing difficulty, and said, "This... young master, are you able to use your miraculous healing skills to save him? Or could you tell us the specific method of treatment?" His voice carried a hint of urgency and expectation.

However, Jin Shuai responded without hesitation: "No." His answer was concise and to the point, without any hesitation.

Just then, a minister stepped forward, walked out of the queue, bowed, and said, "Young Master Jin, if you truly know how to cure this disease, please tell us your method. In this way, you can save the people from their suffering." The minister spoke earnestly, his eyes filled with concern for the people's plight.

But Jin Shuai didn't seem to care. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he casually replied, "They're not my subjects, so what does it have to do with me?" His tone revealed a coldness and indifference.

Immediately afterward, another minister stepped forward and said righteously, "Since Young Master Jin has such abilities, it is only right that we extend a helping hand. Moreover, if you can successfully assist him, the Emperor will surely reward you handsomely." This minister was trying to persuade Marshal Jin with benefits.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai couldn't help but chuckle and replied, "Heh, at least there's someone who understands." His laughter seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm.

Seeing this, Emperor Renzong quickly interjected, "I will certainly reward you generously. Now you can say so!" His eyes were filled with determination and resolve.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shuai looked at Emperor Renzong with a half-smile and asked, "Then may I ask what Your Majesty intends to reward me with? Please don't spend all day running around only to give me a few strings of cash in the end." His words clearly revealed a cunning and shrewdness.

At that moment, the sharp-tongued official stepped forward again and shouted, "Your Majesty, Young Master Jin is arrogant and conceited because of his talent. He has no regard for the lives and deaths of the common people. His intentions are extremely wicked. I humbly request Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict to execute this villain on the spot!" As soon as he finished speaking, two more officials stepped forward to express their agreement and echoed, "We second that!" "We also second that!" The atmosphere in the court became tense.

Emperor Renzong frowned slightly, staring intently at the person before him, and asked, "Now three of my ministers have advised me to execute you. Do you have no fear at all?"

Jin Shuai's lips curled into a calm smile as he replied, "Haha, what do I have to fear? As the saying goes, 'Since ancient times, no one has ever escaped death, but one should leave behind a loyal heart to shine in history.' Besides, so many people have died with me, so I can say that I have died a worthy death. However, before I die, I have one more thing I would like to ask the three of you, and I wonder if it is permissible?"
