I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 432 Instantly Feeling Reassured
Feng Jing shook his head, thinking he must be seeing things. He cupped his hands and asked, "Why have you summoned me here?"

Xiao Jingfan coughed lightly and glanced at Zhou Yuande.

Zhou Yuande immediately led his men out the door.

Xiao Jingfan picked up his teacup, took a sip, then shifted his posture and lowered his voice: "When will my impotence be cured?"

Upon hearing this question, Feng Jing's eyes instinctively glanced at his lower body, his expression serious as a doctor.

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

His face was still a bit green.

Fortunately, Feng Jing only glanced at it before looking away and asked, "You've been taking the medication for almost a month. Have you had any reactions this morning?"

He asked the question rather tactfully, but being men, they naturally understood what he meant.

Xiao Jingfan shook his head.

Feng Jing frowned. "Not a single reaction?"

Xiao Jingfan, his face dark, reluctantly hummed in agreement.

Feng Jing stepped forward to take his pulse, muttering a lot of things, but Xiao Jingfan only understood the words "increase the dosage".

"When will my symptoms be cured?"

As Feng Jing wrote the prescription, he said, "It depends on the effect of the medicine. If it works quickly, it will take ten days to half a month; if it works slowly, it will take a year and a half."

Ten days or half a month would be fine, but if it drags on for a year or two... Xiao Jingfan's face turned green again, as if Chu Liuzheng's words "You can't get it" were still echoing in his ears.

Unaware of the danger, Feng Jing even instructed, "You should exercise diligently and eat nourishing medicinal meals on time, which will help you recover."

The medicinal cuisine prepared by Dr. Feng himself was so delicious that it was hard to describe.

Xiao Jingfan lost his appetite just thinking about it, but in order to cure his illness, he forced himself to finish a small bowl.

He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked Zhou Yuande, "Is the person awake?"

Zhou Yuande served tea and replied, "I sent someone to check on you; you're still asleep. The Empress Dowager just sent someone to invite you to have lunch at Wanshou Palace."

The news that the emperor had seized a palace maid who had been released from the palace on horseback had already spread throughout the palace and even reached the ears of some relatives and ministers without being heard.

Reactions were mixed.

The Empress Dowager suddenly sent someone to invite the Emperor to lunch, which was naturally because of this matter.

Xiao Jingfan rinsed his mouth with tea, reviewed a few more memorials, and then headed to Wanshou Palace when it was almost time.

Meanwhile, on the dragon bed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Chu Liuzheng slowly opened his eyes. He was stunned when he saw the black canopy. Memories from before he fell asleep flooded his mind, instantly shattering his good mood from a good night's sleep.

Alas, all our efforts have been in vain; how could the tyrant have caught up with us so quickly?

Fortunately, Qiaoru was sent away first.

She raised her hand and touched her lips; they felt smooth to the touch—it was ointment.

The bite wound has been carefully treated.

[Tsk, is the tyrant a dog?]

Chu Liuzheng sat up and, using the faint light emitted by the luminous pearl on the bedside table, turned his head to examine the dragon bed beneath him.

She had come many times and decorated many times, but this was the first time she had slept on it.

To be honest, it truly lives up to its reputation as the emperor's bed. The bedding used was of the finest quality. Lying on it felt like sinking into soft clouds, and even my sleep quality improved considerably.

The dark curtains effectively blocked out the outside light, creating a world of their own.

Chu Liuzheng reached out and took the luminous pearl, propped his cheek on his hand, and tossed it back and forth, thinking about what to do next.

The method of escaping without the emperor's knowledge has been proven unworkable.

Now that the wolf has tasted blood, the precarious balance has been broken, and it's impossible for it to escape unscathed.

Have to think of another way.

She frowned in thought when the tent flap was suddenly lifted, and two heads squeezed in along with the light streaming in.

One belongs to Chenxing, and the other to Siyue. "Sister Liuzheng, you're awake." Chenxing smiled, two sweet dimples on her cheeks.

Siyue looked worried, staring at Chu Liuzheng, hesitant to speak.

"It's you two." Chu Liuzheng smiled back at the two of them, but accidentally aggravated the wound on his lip, and couldn't help but hiss coldly.

"Siyue used the best medicine on my sister, and she will be healed in two days." Chenxing said as she and Siyue rolled up the curtain. "His Majesty went to Wanshou Palace for lunch and specifically instructed that my sister can just tell him what she wants to eat and have the imperial kitchen prepare it and send it over."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liuzheng didn't skimp on himself and readily rattled off several dishes. He used to order for the emperor, but now he was ordering for himself.

Chenxing went out to give the order, while Siyue brought back a new set of clothes. "Sister, your clothes are all wrinkled. Please change into a new set."

Chu Liuzheng glanced at it and realized that the clothes were not the style of palace maids.

Seeing her staring at the clothes, Siyue explained softly, "His Majesty instructed Eunuch Zhou to prepare them."

【Tsk! 】

Chu Liuzheng slightly pursed his lips, took the clothes, and changed into them.

Siyue took away the light red cloth dress she had changed out of, and Chu Liuzheng called out to her: "Find a bundle to put it in and put it back in my room."

Upon hearing this, Siyue turned around and softly reminded her, "Sister, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear this dress in the future."

Chu Liuzheng understood what she meant. She glanced at the wrinkled clothes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly. "It's good to keep it as a memento."

Siyue pursed her lips, hugged her clothes tightly, and whispered, "You should be able to see His Majesty's feelings for you better than we outsiders. Since things have come to this, why don't you put your mind at ease?"

Who can defy the emperor?

"I know you mean well." Chu Liuzheng shifted her gaze, turning to look at the golden lotus embroidered on the screen, her profile as white as snow. "Do as I say."

Siyue sighed softly to herself, responded, and went out with her clothes in her arms.

Lunch was very lavish, the most sumptuous meal Chu Liuzheng had eaten alone since entering the palace.

She ate very attentively, chewing slowly and carefully, taking more than an hour to finish, until the food on the table had gone cold before she stopped eating.

Then they had someone bring over a deck chair and placed it under the shade of a tree.

A gentle breeze rustled through the treetops, the leaves whispering softly, and a few rays of sunlight filtered down onto the deck chair.

The recliner swayed gently, rocking back and forth.

The people on the recliners were also swaying back and forth.

The round fan swayed gently, making a soft, pattering sound.

It's like a painting filled with leisure.

When Xiao Jingfan returned, he saw this scene. The emperor, who had just had an unpleasant conversation with his mother, was in a much better mood. He went forward, picked up Xiao Jingfan, and carried him to the bedchamber.

Chu Liuzheng lazily lifted his eyelids, fanned himself with the fan in his hand, and covered his mouth to yawn.

Xiao Jingfan chuckled: "Sleepy again?"

"Mmm." Chu Liuzheng snuggled closer to the emperor, her obedient demeanor delighting him.

He carried her into the bedchamber, dismissed his attendants, and stole a kiss on her slightly parted red lips.

Chu Liuzheng secretly rolled her eyes, raised her hand to embrace him, and tilted her head back to deepen the kiss.

Both of them had cuts on their lips, but neither mentioned them, and neither backed down.

The ointment smelled like peaches; after the kiss, it felt like I had eaten a whole, juicy peach.

When they parted, both of them were a little out of breath.

Chu Liuzheng glanced up and saw the emperor's eyes light up with envy. Her current position was a bit dangerous, so she shifted, then suddenly remembered something, glanced down at a certain spot, and instantly felt incredibly relieved.

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Before the emperor could erupt in anger, Chu Liuzheng quickly said, "Let's talk!"
