sword on the guard's neck and apologize to him. Otherwise, after three counts, I will make sure you can never leave this palace!"Ling Ruo: “You dare!”Qingxuan's expression was fierce, she clenched her...After Nangong Mei left, Qingxuan had to continue soaking in the medicinal hot springs for at least two hours.

At this time, Qingxuan looked at Zhou Hong who was standing beside her.

Qingxuan: "Ahong, come down and soak too."

This medicinal hot spring is a great way to strengthen your body, replenish qi and blood.

She enjoys soaking by herself, and she also enjoys soaking with her apprentice.

When Zhou Hong heard Qingxuan's words, her face showed a look of shock.

Did she... just misunderstand

You have to know that this medicine was bestowed by the emperor upon Qingxuan. Even though Qingxuan is her master and also the Crown Princess,

Such a private gift of an onsen, the master would actually let her share it.

Thinking of the world's intricate rules of etiquette and hierarchy, Zhou Hong swallowed nervously, thinking she must have misheard.

Seeing Zhou Hong remain motionless, Qing Xuan urged, "What are you hesitating for This bubble bath with medicinal hot springs can improve your skin and help fade the birthmark on your face."

Qingxuan thought Zhou Hong was just shy, and didn't think much of it.

Under her urging, Zhou Hong finally shed her clothes and stepped into the medicinal hot spring.

The moment Zhou Hong stepped into the hot spring, she felt all her pores open. Her body had never been this relaxed before.

Zhou Hong's eyes flashed with amazement: "Master, this hot spring is too magical! I feel like my body is as light as a feather, very relaxed and flexible."

Qingxuan smiled and said, "Of course. If it weren't something good, why would the master have you come down to soak"

At this moment, the hot spring warmed Zhou Hong's body, while Qing Xuan's words warmed Zhou Hong's heart.

Zhou Hong once again sighed in her heart, feeling unworthy and questioning how she could become Qingxuan's disciple.

Zhou Hong secretly made up her mind in her heart that from now on, if her master encountered danger, she would protect him with her life.

Soaking in a medicinal hot spring is incredibly relaxing.

In a short while, two hours had passed.

When the maidservant came again, she saw Zhou Hong soaking in the medicinal hot springs with Qingxuan. The two were sharing a pool. The maidservant couldn't help but show a surprised expression, but Qingxuan ignored her.

After Qingxuan and Zhou Hong changed into clean clothes, a maidservant led them to Lingyu Garden.

"Please wait here for a moment, Your Highness. The Emperor will be here shortly."

Hearing that the Emperor of Dogs was coming, Qing Xuan wasn't surprised at all.

Qingxuan sat at the table, sipping the tea that a maid had served her.

Sure enough, after a short while, the Emperor Dog and Zhou Dequan arrived.

Qingxuan immediately put down the teacup in her hand and bowed.

Qingxuan: "Greetings, Father-in-law."

The Emperor said, “Please be at ease.”

The emperor stopped speaking and gave Zhou Dequan a look. Zhou Dequan then signaled to Zhou Hong to go out with him.

Zhou Dequan: "Your Highness, the Emperor wishes to speak with you in private."

Zhou Hong was led out of the room by Zhou Dequan.

The emperor noticed that Qingxuan's face showed not the slightest surprise, as if she had expected him to speak with her alone.

The Emperor was astonished: "Does the Crown Princess not find this curious"

Under the emperor's gaze, Qingxuan shook her head: "Since my first meeting with Father Emperor, I have discovered that Father Emperor has been ill for a long time. There are many imperial physicians in this palace. If Father Emperor was ill and could be treated, this illness would certainly not have lasted so long."

The emperor's expression darkened upon hearing this, and his demeanor became grave.

I didn't expect the Crown Princess to be able to tell just by looking that his illness was in the liver.

Could she really have learned medicine in just a month

The emperor let out a low growl: "Bold Imperial Consort, how dare you speculate about my condition at will."

The emperor wanted to intimidate Qingxuan with the aura he had cultivated over his years as emperor.

He thought he could see a hint of panic in Qingxuan's eyes.

Who knew that Qing Xuan's expression remained unchanged.

Even this Princess Consort of the Chen family wasn't flustered at all!

That is to say, this Crown Princess is not afraid of him.

The emperor's face darkened even further upon seeing this.

However, the next moment when Qingxuan spoke, the gloom on the Emperor's face immediately vanished.

Qingxuan: "Father Emperor, your daughter-in-law has a way to cure your illness."d the blood spirit mushroom millet porridge for Qingxuan. Qingxuan didn't have time to drink it before falling asleep. Now that it was still early, Nangong Ye personally warmed the porridge and brough...
