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

Chapter 239, Do You Understand Me?
"My wife understands me best. Sometimes I really want to resign from my official post and return home, to become a traveling physician, like Mr. Nian Duan, practicing medicine and saving lives."

"But I can't leave. What will happen to the people of Xinzheng if I leave? Oh, Madam, do you understand my thoughts?"

Xu Qing appeared as if he were completely disillusioned with the Korean court, his face filled with sighs and desolation, and his heart brimming with anger and resentment.

Worried that Jingni might notice something amiss, that bastard Xu Qing even used his internal energy to stimulate the acupoints at the corners of his eyes, making them slightly red and appearing even more realistic.

However, what could Jing Ni, as an assassin, possibly understand about what Xu Qing said?

If you talk to her about the self-discipline of an assassin and the 108 ways to kill, she can chat with you about it.

If you tell her that you practice medicine and save lives, in addition to stopping the bleeding of wounds and applying wound medicine, she will also take the antidote pills from the Luowang.

However, Xu Qing's grief-stricken appearance made Jing Ni pause slightly, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

She had been lying low by Xu Qing's side for more than half a year, and now she had finally gotten the opportunity she wanted.

Although Xu Qing was greedy and lustful, all the intelligence she obtained indicated that beneath Xu Qing's unsightly appearance lay a heart full of loyalty to Chu Xiang.

To make such a person willingly submit to Qin, the first thing to do is to make him disappointed in Han. Then, she can take the opportunity to enter Xu Qing's heart and lure him to submit to Qin.

She had been plotting to make Xu Qing disappointed in South Korea, but she hadn't had the chance to do so.

Han Wang'an's suspicions have saddened Xu Qing so much, giving her an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

“I understand the Imperial Physician’s heart. Just like me, a woman, I have to support the huge Luo family and face all kinds of rumors to fulfill my deceased husband’s wish. Sometimes, I also want to change my life.”

Jingni looked moved and said softly.

"I initially entered the court with the determination to be loyal to the country, but after entering this vortex, I found that no one in the court understood me. Looking back, I realized that the one who understood me was actually my wife."

Xu Qing's tone was sad and full of exhaustion, as if he had been heartbroken by the world. He leaned weakly against Jing Ni and rested his head on her shoulder.

Her jet-black hair gently brushed against Xu Qing's nose, and a pleasant fragrance wafted into her nostrils.

Xu Qing's breath brushed against Jing Ni's fair swan neck, the warm breath making Jing Ni's heart tremble. Remembering the task given to her by Luo Wang, she forcibly suppressed the urge to draw her sword and kill Xu Qing.

Having finally revealed a weakness, Jingni couldn't expose herself, so she let Xu Qing lean on her shoulder.

After carefully recalling the scenes she had witnessed, Jingni hesitated for a moment before reaching out to embrace Xu Qing's head and gently stroking his hair, displaying the tenderness and gentleness of a mature and beautiful woman.

“You must be very tired. You are different from me. I had no choice, but you have other choices. You have the ability to bring the dead back to life and are a renowned doctor. You will be respected wherever you go.”

Jingni looked at Xu Qing and spoke softly, a strange feeling that she couldn't understand gradually welling up in her heart.

She was very aware of this strange feeling; she would feel this way whenever Xu Qing and Luo Jing had intimate contact.

If she were an ordinary woman, she would surely understand what this strangeness represented. However, Jing Ni was trained by the Luo Wang to be an emotionless killer, a sword that obeys orders.

Because of Luo Jing's personality, her frozen emotions showed signs of revival, but she didn't understand what emotions were or what the strange feeling in her heart was.

Xu Qing buried his head in Jing Ni's neck, his eyes gleaming.

Jing Ni's words were full of advice to leave Han, which made him completely certain that she was trying to win him over and make him join Qin. "Damn Qin, they actually used such despicable means to challenge my weakness! Don't underestimate my determination, I am definitely not the kind of person who would forget loyalty for the sake of beauty."

Xu Qing shouted in his heart.

He was indeed not one to forget loyalty for the sake of beauty, but his loyalty was not rooted in righteousness.

"Madam, you overestimate me. What difference is there between you and me? We are both caught in the vortex, and no one can escape unscathed. We are gradually losing our true nature and self."

"I also want to leave, but can I really leave?"

As Xu Qing spoke, his other intact hand began to wander towards Jing Ni's thigh.

He felt he had to challenge his weakness, otherwise what if Lao Ai and others continued to use such methods to seduce him when he arrived in Qin?
self?

Jingni felt nothing for this kind of thing.

What Luo Wang needs is a weapon devoid of emotion, not a person with their own thoughts.

From the moment she entered the Net, amidst countless training sessions and killings, she had long forgotten what she was.

Upon noticing Xu Qing's restless hand, Jing Ni suddenly exerted force with the silver needle in her hand, puncturing a large blister and inserting it directly into Xu Qing's arm.

The sudden pain made Xu Qing gasp, and he instantly withdrew his wandering hand.

"Is the Imperial Physician alright? I accidentally used too much force just now, please forgive me."

Jingni said apologetically, but the slight upturn of her lips and the smile in her beautiful eyes showed that she did it on purpose.

In other words, she was ordered not to harm Xu Qing, otherwise, given Xu Qing's behavior, she wouldn't have used silver needles, but would have used the Jingni Sword to completely sever Xu Qing's lustful desires.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. This little pain is nothing to me. Continue applying the medicine."

Despite the pain, Xu Qing forced a smile and spoke.

As expected, you can't touch a tiger's backside, but you can touch Jing Ni's thigh just as easily.

"it is good."

Jing Ni continued to apply medicine to Xu Qing, sprinkling on the powder before wrapping bandages around him.

Because of the warning he had just received, Xu Qing didn't dare to make any further moves, fearing he might completely anger this young lady. So he obediently let Jing Ni apply the medicine for him, while he silently admired Jing Ni's pretty face.

Her indifference, emanating from her very bones, combined with her stunning beauty, gave her a captivating and alluring aura, making her increasingly enchanting to Xu Qing.

Jing Ni quickly bandaged Xu Qing's wounds. Although she didn't understand pharmacology, she still knew how to do simple bandaging as an assassin.

"Thank you, Madam. I never expected your skills to be so good. If I get injured again in the future, I will definitely come to you for treatment," Xu Qing said with a light smile.

"You jest, Imperial Physician. Who would want to get injured? You should take good care of yourself. I will rely on your reputation to deter those villains in the future."
