Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Xuanyuan Yu stared at Lin Ruoshui's earlobe, which was small, delicate, fair and flawless, as translucent as porcelain.

Xuanyuan Yu liked every part of Lin Ruoshui, even to the point of being obsessed, feeling that every inch of her skin was tempting him.

Lin Ruoshui felt she couldn't withstand his gaze, so she cleared her throat and said, "How about I bestow a few women upon you?"

Xuanyuan Yu heard Lin Ruoshui's voice, but he couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Seeing that he didn't react, Lin Ruoshui said loudly, "Xuanyuan Yu, how about I give you a few women so you can stop bothering me?"

Xuanyuan Yu lowered his head, rubbed his forehead, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He said in a hoarse voice, "I have said that if you speak again, the punishment will be longer."

"Please let me go~" Lin Ruoshui pleaded.

"Impossible!" Xuan Yuan Yu said with a half-smile.

Then Lin Ruoshui was pinned to the couch and slapped on the buttocks, with the words, "Who is that man you're talking about? Why were you hugging just now?"

Lin Ruoshui received a solid slap on the buttocks.

"Are you my father? Or do you live by the sea?" Lin Ruoshui asked through gritted teeth.

“I am your future husband, so I have the right to interfere.” After saying that, Xuan Yuan Yu slapped her buttocks again.

"It hurts so much, Xuanyuan Yu, you pervert!" Lin Ruoshui almost cried out in pain.

Xuanyuan Yu felt that he hadn't used much force, so why was she crying?

He looked down at Lin Ruoshui, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and asked, "What's wrong? You're crying after I only hit you twice?"

"It hurts so much, my knee..." Lin Ruoshui said, curling up with tears in her eyes.

Xuanyuan Yu remembered that Lin Ruoshui had injured her knee before, so he quickly turned her over, tore off her trouser leg, and saw that her knee was covered in bruises and bleeding in some places.

Xuanyuan Yu poked her kneecap with his finger and asked, "Does it hurt? Did you break any bones?"

Lin Ruoshui wasn't actually in that much pain, but when people showed concern and asked her questions, she closed her eyes and cried out, "It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. I'll have Physician Li come and take a look at you." Xuan Yuan Yu quickly comforted her, blowing on her knee with his mouth.

Lin Ruoshui felt the cool breeze blowing on her knees and opened her eyes to watch Xuan Yuan Yu blowing on them.

Lin Ruoshui was genuinely delighted that Xuanyuan Yu had such a considerate side.

Embarrassingly, Lin Ruoshui was turned over, and the tear Xuan Yuan Yu had made was quite large. The two of them were so engrossed in their playful antics that they hadn't noticed.

Lin Ruoshui shifted her gaze from Xuan Yuanyu to herself, while Xuan Yuanyu shifted his gaze from his knees to Lin Ruoshui.

The two of them stood frozen in place, looking at each other.

Lin Ruoshui let out a scream, and Xuan Yuanyu reflexively covered her mouth with his left hand.

For a moment, the imperial study fell silent. Lin Ruoshui closed her eyes and remained silent, feigning death. It was too awkward; she didn't know how to face the situation if she didn't play dead.

Xuanyuan Yu acted as if nothing had happened, saying in an extremely normal voice, "It was an accident. Um, I'll go find Physician Li to check your knee. I'll be back shortly. You, you should rest first."

Xuanyuan Yu's voice was normal, except for a slight stutter. He turned and walked towards the door. Once outside, Xuanyuan Yu pressed himself against the door, took a deep breath, and his face suddenly turned a deep purple. He closed his eyes, calmed himself for a long, long time, and then strode towards the Imperial Physician's Office.

Along the way, Xuanyuan Yu was a little puzzled. He thought to himself, "She is different from the woman in the picture."

It was a long time before Physician Li arrived, but Xuan Yuan Yu did not appear.

Physician Li carefully examined Lin Ruoshui's knees and felt the bones, finding only superficial injuries. He then took her pulse and discovered that she had internal injuries, but these were healing at an extremely rapid pace.

Imperial Physician Li asked, "Your Majesty, your knee injury is superficial and nothing serious. However, the internal injury is slightly more severe. But I can tell from your pulse that the internal injury is recovering rapidly. I wonder if you have taken any medicine to treat the internal injury?"

“Yes, the young man wearing the mask just now was my friend. I took the medicine he gave me, and I feel much better now,” Lin Ruoshui said.

"I have some topical medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. I'll apply it to your knee now. It will heal in a few days," said Physician Li.

Just as Physician Li was about to kneel down to apply medicine to Lin Ruoshui, Xuanyuan Yu pushed open the door and walked in.

"I'm applying medicine to the Emperor, Physician Li, you may leave." Xuan Yuan Yu dismissed everyone as soon as he entered, not even allowing Lin Ruo Shui to share the slightest benefit with anyone else, not even applying medicine.

Physician Li glanced at Xuan Yuan Yu with his signature smile, and was about to leave when Lin Ruoshui called him back.

"Imperial Physician Li, examine the Prince of Chu. He seems to have been poisoned," Lin Ruoshui said.

Xuanyuan Yu felt a warmth in his heart; he hadn't expected her to care about him so much.

"I am fine. The poison is not strong. I have already suppressed it. I can expel it by circulating my internal energy," Xuanyuan Yu said.

Lin Ruoshui said coquettishly, "Why don't you let Physician Li take a look? Maybe one dose of medicine can cure the poison. Why do you need to use your internal energy to heal yourself?"

Xuanyuan Yu, this iron-blooded war god, is actually most afraid of women being coquettish, especially the women he likes.

Xuanyuan Yu stretched out his arm in front of Physician Li, who took out a handkerchief, placed it on Xuanyuan Yu's wrist, and began to carefully take his pulse.

Xuanyuan Yu stared at the handkerchief, his expression twisted. Was this because he disliked him and covered himself with the handkerchief? He stared intently at Physician Li, trying to stare two holes through him.

Physician Li ignored it and focused on taking the pulse. Not long after, he withdrew his hand and said, "I'll go and brew some medicine; that will neutralize the poison."

Xuanyuan Yu held his wrist out in front of Physician Li, indicating that he should take the handkerchief away.

Physician Li said, "I don't need this handkerchief," and then turned and left.

Xuanyuan Yu felt his blood rushing backward with anger.

Lin Ruoshui smoothed things over by taking the handkerchief off his arm and saying, "My shoes are dirty, I'll use this handkerchief to wipe them."

Looking at the lovely person in front of him, Xuanyuan Yu's expression improved slightly.

“Everything has been arranged. As for how to deal with Situ Yu, the Empress, and Xiao Zhan, that’s up to you,” Xuan Yuan Yu said.

"The Poison Bar is too dirty with bloodshed," Lin Ruoshui said.

"When is your friend leaving?" Xuan Yuan Yu asked.

Lin Ruoshui said, "He's not leaving; he'll stay permanently."

Xuanyuan Yu had nothing to say. This wasn't his own home, and he had no right to kick people out.

He didn't speak for a moment, but instead thought about how to get the man away.
