Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Qiu Nanzhu's eyes were somewhat cold: "Your Highness, perhaps acupuncture treatment for a period of time can improve His Majesty's condition, or even awaken him."

"However, His Highness or someone he can trust will also need to perform massage to clear the meridians and improve circulation. The less blocked His Majesty's meridians are, the better his recovery will be."

Qiu Nanzhu's words made the imperial physicians somewhat uneasy, but none of them rejected his plan; they simply remained silent, clearly indicating that none of them were as confident as he was.

Li Qingyan looked at them for a moment, without any expression or comment, and simply waved her hand.

The eunuchs immediately ushered them all out, leaving only Wen Sheng, Qiu Nanzhu, and Li Qingyan.

Qiu Nanzhu remained silent and did not urge him, leaving everything to Li Qingyan's discretion.

His confident demeanor in controlling Li Qingyan made her grit her teeth.

Readers have always loved their sibling incestuous relationship, and they are convinced that Qiu Nanzhu likes Qiu Nanxing, so she deliberately sows discord and tests them.

"Qiu Nanzhu, your sister Qiu Nanxing has been staying in the Xianwang Palace recently. She knows your situation well, but she has never thought of rescuing you."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Nanzhu's smile froze for a moment.

Li Qingyan sneered, "A sister-complex is a sister-complex."

"Why does Your Highness bring up Nanxing? When I chose you, we decided not to interfere in each other's affairs anymore, and that was also my request."

Just as Qiu Nanzhu finished calming herself down, she heard Li Qingyan say:

"That being said, put yourself in Qiu Nanxing's shoes. If she were in a crisis, would you still be so engrossed in whispering sweet nothings and getting lost in her affections?"

After Li Qingyan finished speaking, Qiu Nanzhu's smile could no longer be maintained.

"What exactly does Your Highness mean by saying these things at this moment?"

"I know the truth about how you got close to me. You were even willing to sacrifice yourself to help your sister's lover ascend to the position of crown prince."

Li Qingyan's words caused Qiu Nanzhu's expression to change slightly; she indeed knew the truth, but she quickly regained her composure.

"I'm really curious, just how despicable and lowly you are to be willing to be your sister's dog and even sacrifice your own life, not even afraid of poison, just so your sister can have an affair."

Li Qingyan looked puzzled: "If you are inherently lowly and enjoy being abused, if you like others to trample on and humiliate you, then I'm not unwilling to cooperate. Why didn't you mention it?"

Qiu Nanzhu's face darkened, all his former carefree, bold, and powerful demeanor vanished, revealing his sinister and dark true nature: "If Your Highness hates me, you can simply kill me and deal with it directly."

He gave a forced smile: "But Your Highness dares not punish or kill, nor can you bear to kill, because no one can save His Majesty."

He suppressed his emotions and regained control.

He will not be easily provoked.

Li Qingyan gritted his teeth secretly, still managing not to break down, but his expression was out of control, and her words still pierced his heart like a poisonous thorn.

"Wouldn't dealing with you directly be letting you off easy?"

Li Qingyan also revealed a forced smile: "If anything happens to the Empress, I will kill Qiu Nanxing first, then castrate you, so that you can neither live nor die."

Qiu Nanzhu's pupils suddenly contracted as he stared intently at Li Qingyan.

How dare she... How could she be so vicious?

But when he looked into Li Qingyan's eyes, they unconsciously lit up. He had always pretended to be a good brother, kind and upright, in front of Qiu Nanxing, but in reality, he was not a good person.

He felt only disgust towards those so-called good people, and he only wanted to trample on the genuine feelings others showed him. He most looked forward to seeing people break down.

Therefore, he was always full of malice and even looked down on the kind and innocent Li Qingyan. After all, she was a princess, yet she was still manipulated by him.

But now she has changed.

His heart was racing without him realizing it, and he said, "One should bear the consequences of one's own actions, Your Highness, please don't take your anger out on others."

Li Qingyan chuckled: "How responsible you are! I must grant your wish. I will castrate you right now! Guards..."

"No!" Qiu Nanzhu hurriedly stopped him, "Your Highness, I will do my best to treat him."

Wen Sheng listened quietly, her expression remaining unchanged no matter what she heard, except when the words "castrated" were mentioned, her eyebrows twitched slightly.

Only after Li Qingyan had finally subdued Qiu Nanzhu did he speak gently:

"Your Highness, I am waiting outside. Please speak up if anything happens. My attendant, Yi Yan, is a highly skilled individual I recruited. I have memorized Your Highness's requests and orders and will have him carry them out."

In short, no matter where Qiu Nanxing and Qiu Nanzhu run, no matter where they are, we will chase after them and kill them, or castrate them.

"Um."

Li Qingyan knew that Wen Sheng was working with her to put pressure on Qiu Nanzhu again, and couldn't help but laugh.

Qiu Nanzhu's expression changed upon hearing these words.

Looking into Li Qingyan's bright eyes, he couldn't help but tighten his grip. Before, she would only look at him like that, but now she was looking at Wen Sheng like that.

A lowly merchant, all he can do is earn a little bit of imperial wealth, and all he has is a handsome appearance.

A flash of murderous intent crossed Qiu Nanzhu's eyes as he looked at Wen Sheng.

When she looked up at Li Qingyan again, she adopted a helpless and obedient expression.

He carefully taught Li Qingyan how to identify acupoints and how to apply force.

After finishing his instruction, he respectfully withdrew, leaving Li Qingyan to continue his teaching behind the screen.

He looked threatened and forced to do his best, not daring to act recklessly, so Li Qingyan didn't notice anything unusual.

She gradually relaxed and focused on the massage.

She is familiar with massage because modern mothers often have problems with their cervical and lumbar spine. However, whether it's physiotherapy at the hospital or going to a massage parlor, it all costs money, which her mother is always reluctant to spend.

Finally, she went to a traditional Chinese medicine massage shop to learn and work at the same time, and learned how to give her mother massages.

She couldn't help but compare the difference between the emperor's and her mother's massages. Just as she couldn't resist checking if the emperor had a mole on his chest, a chill suddenly ran down her back.

Before she could think, she turned around abruptly and saw a familiar person rushing towards her.

He was the emperor's most trusted eunuch. Because the emperor liked her, he remembered that he loved her and cared for her a lot. But now, all he could see in his eyes was hatred.

"You beast, prepare to die!"

Li Qingyan rolled off the dragon bed, narrowly avoiding his sneak attack.

But the attack came again, heading straight for Li Qingyan's heart.

Fortunately, Jingfeng, who had been standing outside, threw his whisk in time, deflecting his hand and allowing her to avoid the dagger aimed straight at her heart.

The dagger narrowly grazed Li Qingyan's arm at the last moment.

Jing Feng arrived just in time, and together with the little green snake, they precisely bit the inner attendant's leg during the fight between the two.

The eunuch died with a face full of resentment: "His Majesty is still unconscious, you beast! I have already summoned a high-ranking official to the palace to inquire about his health. You can't escape!"

The Inner Attendant was not bribed by anyone. Before the emperor fell into a coma, he was granted special privileges. If she was critically ill and the Prince of Xian dared to seize the throne or had such a tendency, he would immediately use his seal to summon important officials to the palace to inquire about her health.

The fact that he was summoned at this time clearly indicates that he was being entrusted with a caretaker's affairs or that a major upheaval had occurred.

Everyone will go immediately.

He had already summoned his senior officials to the palace, but this time, it was not because the Prince Xian had seized the throne, but to get rid of the unfilial Li Qingyan.

When Li Qingyan rescued the emperor, he cleared out the people, but in his anxiety, he did not notice the eunuch hiding in the shadows.

The eunuch had never seen a method of resuscitation before. He only saw her pressing on the emperor's chest and kissing him. Even after the emperor resumed breathing, he felt that it was because His Majesty's spirit in heaven had seen it and been brought back to life.

He misunderstood that Li Qingyan had insulted his mother, the Empress, and that he had developed unusual feelings for her, which was why he disregarded human nature and made unwanted advances.

Furthermore, while the emperor was still in danger, she shamelessly kissed and hugged a concubine in a side hall.

The palace attendants could no longer restrain themselves and immediately took action to summon the emperor.

Wen Sheng stood in front of Li Qingyan, and seeing her unpleasant expression, took over the subsequent handling.

"Your Highness, your wound needs to be treated. A senior official will arrive in a quarter of an hour."

"Um."

The imperial physician on duty quickly came to treat and bandage Li Qingyan's wounds. Li Qingyan glanced at Qiu Nanzhu, who had been silent all along, and spoke without hesitation.

"Take him away and lock him up."

Qiu Nanzhu was suppressed, and Wen Sheng led his men to clean up the mess.

Li Qingyan tidied the emperor's clothes, took a deep breath to calm herself, but suddenly felt something was wrong. It was raining outside, so why did she feel hotter and hotter, as if she had just transmigrated that night?

No, it was even hotter than that night, but in an instant, a strange desire surged through my body.
