People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 238, We must not wrong any beautiful woman!
"If Luo Jing is Jing Ni, then perhaps this is a good opening. By planting a mole in the Luo Net, we can at least be aware of the Luo Net's actions at any time."

Just as Xu Qing was considering the future, the door was pushed open, and Jing Ni, dressed in white pajamas, slowly walked into the room.

Xu Qing snapped out of her reverie and looked at Luo Jing. The other woman's unadorned face showed signs of weariness, which added a touch of cuteness to her already aloof and elegant demeanor. Her hair, half-loose over her shoulders, was gently swayed by the breeze.

A thin white nightgown clung tightly to her curvaceous body, her ample breasts pushing the white collar into an exaggerated arc, the slightly open neckline revealing glimpses of her smooth, white skin, arousing the desire of others to explore further.

This reminded Xu Qing of the first time he saw her, when she was a beautiful widow.

She swayed her slender waist as she walked towards Xu Qing, her skirt gently swaying, and her rosy lips slightly moving.

"Imperial Physician, I apologize for keeping you waiting," Jing Ni said with a faint smile.

“Oh, you’re too kind, Madam. Tonight, some villains set fire to the city, specifically targeting the homes of the powerful and wealthy. Your beauty is well-known in Xinzheng, and I was worried that these vicious criminals would target the Luo family and cause you harm, so I came to visit you.”

"I am relieved to see that Madam is alright."

Xu Qing adopted a reassuring posture and even showed off her burned arm as she spoke.

Jingni naturally sensed Xu Qing's little scheme and said softly.
"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Physician. Fortunately, the Luo family's residence is adjacent to yours, and thanks to your reputation, the Luo family has been safe. But what happened to you? Why do you have so many burns on your body?"

As she spoke, Jingni winked slightly at Xu Qing, her bright eyes filled with a hint of charm and concern, her face showing a nervous expression.

"Madam, you flatter me. If my name could deter villains, the Imperial Hospital wouldn't have caught fire," Xu Qing said somewhat apologetically.

"The Imperial Hospital is on fire!? Are you alright? Someone, go and fetch the herbs." Jing Ni called out to the steward outside the door.

Seeing this, Xu Qing stood up from his seat, grabbed Jing Ni's wrist, and gently pressed his fingers against her pulse, saying calmly...

"I'm fine, this little injury is nothing to worry about, Madam. I can apply the medicine myself when I get back."

Jing Ni, with Xu Qing holding her wrist, did not notice anything unusual.

Although this was the first time she had faced Xu Qing in her natural state, she had naturally seen all of Xu Qing's groping and touching when facing "Luo Jing," and was already used to the other party's dishonesty.

Even if she noticed Xu Qing's subtle movements, she wouldn't be afraid, since she had already sealed her meridians, making it impossible for anyone to detect her true strength.

However, Jing Ni forgot that she had just used the Jing Ni Sword to cut the bronze mirror open with her sword energy, and some internal energy still remained in her meridians.

Xu Qing sensed the abnormality in the other party's meridians. Although this internal energy was barely perceptible, Xu Qing's reputation as a divine physician was no longer just empty words. He keenly sensed the residual internal energy and became even more certain of his guess.

"How can that be? Imperial Physician, please wait a moment." Jing Ni grasped Xu Qing's hand in return and said with concern.

She hadn't even begun to probe Xu Qing's purpose and true attitude, so how could she let Xu Qing leave so easily? Besides, she was also eager to complete her mission and wouldn't give up such a good opportunity.

In the dead of night, a lone man and a beautiful widow, a lecherous man and a stunning widow—the setting itself would only bring them closer.

With a slightly charming smile on her face, Jing Ni leaned closer to Xu Qing, her ample breasts pressing gently against his arm.

Xu Qing feigned reluctance, sighed softly, withdrew her hand, and said with a hint of gratitude...
"Then I'll trouble you, Madam. I originally came to inquire about your safety, but I didn't expect that I would end up having you apply medicine for me." He had achieved his goal and was planning to leave, but faced with Jing Ni's proactive approach, he felt that he should investigate her more thoroughly.

What if he was wrong just now? With a fair and just heart, he couldn't wrong any good person.

"The Imperial Physician is joking; there's no need for such formalities between us."

As she spoke, Jing Ni pulled Xu Qing to sit down at the table, and the butler outside the door quickly brought over medicine and bandages for treating burns.

After handing the items to Jingni, the butler quickly left, closing the door behind him.

"The imperial physician says you should bear with it a little while I apply the medicine for you."

Jingni's slender hands tore a hole in Xu Qing's tattered sleeve, and she picked up a silver needle to start popping the blisters on Xu Qing's arm.

Jing Ni gently pursed her lips, revealing half of her profile to Xu Qing. Her beautiful eyes were full of seriousness, and there was no trace of the unfamiliarity and resistance she had shown towards Xu Qing before. She looked exactly like a mature and knowledgeable woman who cared about Xu Qing.

Looking at Jing Ni's mature and charming face, Xu Qing felt a slight sense of admiration. This maternal aura was not something an assassin should possess.

"These villains are too audacious. How dare they set fire to the Imperial Hospital?" Jing Ni said while applying medicine to Xu Qing.

"Yes, those arsonists are truly despicable. They're clearly wicked, despicable, and shameless villains. Not only did they burn down the Imperial Medical Academy's pharmacy, but they also burned the accounts I painstakingly compiled. You know..."

Xu Qing looked like he hated evil, constantly speaking ill of the arsonist as if he wanted to fight him to the death.

As for the fire-starter girl who was unfairly blamed, Xu Qing said that she doesn't know her and isn't very familiar with her.

Jingni listened silently to Xu Qing's complaints, a glint of shrewdness in her eyes, and gradually slowed down the speed at which she applied the medicine.

"I really don't understand why these people in the court are so fixated on the medicine storehouse accounts. I am absolutely loyal to the King, so how could I have done such corrupt things?"

“I treat the people of Xinzheng on a daily basis, and I am wholeheartedly for the sake of Korea, but this has attracted a lot of suspicion. I just don’t understand why the more I do, the more mistakes I make!”

Xu Qing's face was full of resentment and dissatisfaction, and her words were filled with grievance, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

As Jingni listened to Xu Qing's words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and a hint of speechlessness flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She had seen all sorts of people, but she had never met anyone so shameless.

It's as if he didn't personally embezzle the entire medicine storehouse, which even a mouse would have to leave in tears. And the officials who frequently came to Xu Qing's house to deliver gifts—Xu Qing didn't accept any of them.

"In the chaotic court of Korea, a loyal and courageous person like the Chief Physician is destined to be misunderstood by others."

Jingni looked up at Xu Qing, her gentle eyes filled with sympathy and pity, and softly comforted him.
