After failing the imperial examination, he began to wield immense power after entering the palace!

The Emperor of Chu waved his hand.

"All of you, step back."

"I am tired."

Everyone bowed in unison and filed out.

outside the temple.

Li Fan walked at the front, his steps were unhurried, and a faint smile was on his lips.

Not far behind him, Feng Bao followed closely.

But his steps were unsteady, and he seemed to have lost his soul.

His mind was still buzzing, a single thought swirling in and out...

What exactly did he do?

How did he go from being a "spectator" to becoming a "scapegoat"?

Feng Bao couldn't understand it.

The more he thought about it, the more chills ran down his spine.

He glanced at Li Fan secretly, and their eyes met as Li Fan turned around.

"Chief Supervisor Feng, you've worked hard today."

"Thanks to the case file you gave me, I was able to make a good impression on His Majesty."

"This credit belongs half to Chief Supervisor Feng."

Feng Bao's face turned pale and then red, and his lips twitched several times.

He wanted to curse.

I want to fight.

I want to tear that smiling face to shreds.

But he dared not.

"Admiral Gao...you're too kind."

"We just... we just happened to hand the case over to you."

"I...I didn't expect you to have investigated so thoroughly."

Li Fan smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"You flatter me, Chief Supervisor Feng."

"If there are any other cases in the future, feel free to hand them over to me."

Feng Bao stood there, watching that figure from behind, his whole body trembling.

It's not cold.

It's anger.

Yes, I'm afraid.

He lived for fifty years and worked in the Eastern Depot for more than a decade, never fearing anyone.

But today, facing this young eunuch who had only been in the Eastern Depot for two days...

He was afraid.

Because he finally realized that he was not facing an ordinary eunuch.

Instead, he faced an opponent who was smarter, more ruthless, and more calculating than him.

……

Chengqian Palace.

"Has the person arrived yet?"

After returning to her palace, Consort Xie suddenly spoke, her voice indifferent and devoid of emotion.

Leng Shuangqiu said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Physician Xue has arrived and is waiting in the side hall."

"Where is Gao Jin?"

"He just got back. I've already had someone take him to bathe and change."

Consort Xie hummed in response, her expression unreadable.

Leng Shuangqiu looked at the Empress's profile, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"

Consort Xie did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while.

"I went to great lengths to invite Xue Wanwan. She is the successor of Medicine King Valley and the number one female physician in the world."

"Her pulse diagnosis skills are superb; she can know a person's physical condition just by touching their wrist."

"Have her give Gao Jin a thorough check-up. If there's nothing wrong..."

She paused, then didn't continue.

But Leng Shuangqiu already understood.

If there are no problems, choose him.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Leng Shuangqiu bowed her head and replied.

She turned and walked towards the side hall, her steps crisp and decisive.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty."

"Um?"

"If... Doctor Xue says there's no problem, when does Your Majesty plan to...?"

Consort Xie was taken aback for a moment, then simply said:

"Let's wait and see."

"yes!"

Leng Shuangqiu bit her lip, suppressing those chaotic thoughts, and turned to leave.

Side hall.

A lone lamp illuminated half the room.

The beautiful doctor sat in a chair by the window, holding a cup of tea in her hands, sipping it lightly.

She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with delicate features, and her skin was as white as jade without any makeup.

Her long, jet-black hair was styled into a simple bun, secured with a wooden hairpin, with a few stray strands falling beside her ears.

Her breasts weren't particularly large, but they were just right, creating a beautiful and subtle curve that supported the fabric.

She exudes an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like an orchid growing deep in the mountains, unassuming and unassuming, yet captivating enough to draw your attention.

Her eyes were exceptionally bright, with clear black and white, and when she looked at people, she possessed a focus and gentleness unique to doctors.

This is Xue Wanwan, the renowned female physician and successor of Medicine King Valley.

Leng Shuangqiu walked in and cupped his hands in greeting to her.

"Dr. Xue, the person is almost here. Please make the necessary preparations."

Xue Wanwan put down her teacup, stood up, and bowed slightly.

"Alright, please lead the way."

soon.

Leng Shuangqiu led her through a corridor to a quiet room.

In the center was a medical record, covered with a clean white silk cloth.

Next to it were medicine boxes, silver needles, medicine bottles and other items, all arranged neatly.

"Please wait here a moment, Dr. Xue. He will be here shortly."

After Leng Shuangqiu finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.

……

A short while later.

Li Fan walked in.

He had just finished showering and changed into a clean white undergarment.

His young and handsome face was exceptionally clear under the light, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and well-defined features.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Xue Wanwan standing next to the medical record and was stunned for a moment.

"And this is...?"

Leng Shuangqiu walked in from outside the door and spoke expressionlessly:

"This is Physician Xue from Medicine King Valley. Her Majesty invited her to take your pulse."

"Let's have your health checked."

"After all, you haven't been practicing martial arts for long, and you've taken so many elixirs. Her Majesty is worried about whether your body can handle it."

These words were perfectly worded and made perfectly reasonable.

Li Fan knew that this female doctor had come to diagnose his infertility.

The moment has finally arrived!

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Dr. Xue."

Xue Wanwan bowed slightly to him, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze:

"Eunuch Gao, please have a seat."

Li Fan walked to the consultation table, sat down, and placed his wrist on the silk cloth.

Xue Wanwan walked up to him, extended her slender, fair fingers, and gently placed them on his wrist.

It feels slightly cool to the touch and has a delicate texture.

Li Fan felt an extremely subtle flow of energy seeping into his meridians from her fingertips, like a very fine thread slowly traveling through his body.

The feeling was strange, as if someone was using an invisible needle to carefully comb through every inch of his meridians.

Xue Wanwan closed her eyes and gently moved her fingertips along his wrist.

Her brows furrowed slightly at times and relaxed at others, as if she were reading an extremely complex book.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea has passed.

Xue Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her clear black and white pupils.

"Eunuch Gao, you possess an extremely pure internal energy within you, far surpassing that of ordinary people."

"Moreover, the width of your meridians is unusual, and the speed of your internal energy circulation is extremely fast."

"If I'm not mistaken... you have a pure Yang constitution?"

Li Fan nodded.

"Yes, Lady Leng said the same thing before."

Xue Wanwan frowned slightly and touched his wrist for a while.

"Eunuch Gao, taking a pulse alone is not enough."

"I need to examine your body more thoroughly."

"Please..."

She paused, and a faint blush rose on her fair, jade-like face.

"Please take off your clothes."
