Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Miaoyun carefully led Imperial Physician Jin into Xiyan Palace. When she first saw Imperial Physician Jin's face, she couldn't help but be startled.

I never expected that Physician Jin was actually Li Jing!

Su Jingyao sat quietly on the couch, one hand lazily propped up on a soft pillow, her eyes, like autumn water, looking indifferently at Miaoyun.

Miaoyun noticed her gaze and quickly led everyone away.

Li Jing stepped forward slowly and said respectfully, "Your humble servant greets the Consort."

The silence in the hall was broken by a sharp "snap" as soon as the words were spoken.

Su Jingyao's eyes radiated a chilling coldness as she suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard.

His movements were swift and filled with anger.

Li Jing endured her slap head-on without tilting his head, as if he had expected her to be so angry.

He knelt there, like a statue, completely still.

"Next time Master is angry, I can hit myself without hurting Master's hand."

Li Jing's voice was low and calm, as if he were telling a very ordinary story.

There was not a trace of pain or grievance on his face.

Li Jing looked at her slightly reddened hand and felt a pang of pain in his heart. She was delicate and frail; if she slapped him, her own hand would probably hurt even more.

Su Jingyao ignored him.

Did he even realize the risks his entry into the palace would pose to her?

If Jun Zechen discovers their connection, it will be a devastating blow to her.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that you are pregnant. The inner palace is a dangerous place, and I have only entered the palace to help you."

Li Jing raised his head, looking at her with unwavering determination, his eyes filled with a deep conviction that seemed to penetrate all obstacles and reach the depths of her heart.

"Help me? You're out there earning money and making medicine for me, that's helping me! If you go to the palace now and someone gets hold of something against us, you'll be my biggest death warrant!"

Su Jingyao's voice was low and suppressed, as if she were squeezing these words out from between her teeth, each word containing her anger and coldness.

His eyes were icy cold, staring intently at Li Jing, sending chills down one's spine, as if he could freeze a person instantly.

"Master, Li Jing's identity has been forged flawlessly. Li Jing will absolutely not cause you any trouble."

Li Jing's voice was firm. He slowly raised his head, looking directly at Su Jingyao with an unwavering determination in his eyes.

Su Jingyao looked at him coldly, "If you are exposed, I will kill you with my own hands."

She is not a kind person. Saving him was an accident. Since he wants to follow her, he has to accept her ruthlessness.

"Master, you don't need to get your hands dirty. If I cause you any trouble, I will take care of it myself."

Li Jing's tone remained firm, his eyes flashing with determination.

Su Jingyao was so angry because Li Jing had not informed her beforehand that he was going to the palace, leaving her completely unprepared and forced to accept it.

If it weren't for the fact that the juice Dr. Li brought yesterday had the taste of the tonics he had prepared for her all year round, her tonics would have had an unusual and extremely difficult-to-detect odor specially made by Li Jing.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have known that a new imperial physician had arrived at the Imperial Hospital, and that it was him.

Su Jingyao calmed down her anger.

Now that you've entered the palace, there's no turning back.

Li Jing's medical skills are superb, and having a royal physician in the palace whom she can completely trust can indeed help her reduce a lot of trouble.

However, Jun Zechen, as the male protagonist, is ruthless and wields immense power, making him one of the most influential figures in the world. If he becomes suspicious and decides to investigate Li Jing, it might not be possible to completely conceal the truth.

We still have to rely on her acting; we absolutely cannot let Jun Zechen have even the slightest suspicion towards her.

Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering to herself, her expression growing increasingly serious.

"Come here, take my pulse and see if you can tell whether it's a prince or a princess."

Su Jingyao parted her lips slightly, placed her hand on the table, and gently moved her fingers across the surface.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing bent down and walked over.

He came to Su Jingyao's side, slowly squatted down, reached out and gently placed his hand on her wrist to take her pulse.

"Master is very lucky; this child is a prince."

"Your body has been maintained for many years, making you very fertile. After the birth of this prince, I will continue to prepare contraceptive pills for you. These pills will not only prevent pregnancy but also help you recover quickly from the weakness that comes with childbirth."

Li Jing's voice was deep and gentle. As he spoke, he focused intently on feeling Su Jingyao's pulse, his eyes filled with concern and certainty.

Upon hearing his words, Su Jingyao slightly raised her chin, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on her previously cold face, as warm as a spring breeze.

She then casually gave instructions to Li Jing, her tone somewhat nonchalant.

"If we have the chance, we should obtain the Crown Princess's medical records from the Imperial Hospital and investigate the reason for her long-term infertility."

"Master, I have secretly read the Crown Princess's medical records since I came to the Imperial Hospital."

"The Crown Princess seems to have a constitution that makes it extremely difficult for her to conceive. Although I have not taken her pulse, according to the medical records, there is nothing wrong with her body, but her menstrual cycle is extremely unstable and irregular, which should be a congenital constitution problem."

Li Jing raised his head slightly, looked at Su Jingyao, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes, and reported the situation he knew to Su Jingyao in detail.

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes, a thoughtful look flashing across them, revealing a hint of doubt.

Could it be because the original novel defined the female lead as someone who couldn't get pregnant?

So Ling Yue can't get pregnant?

After all, the reason for her tragic love affair with the male lead was because she couldn't get pregnant.

Oh, how pathetic.

"Okay, I understand."

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, then instructed, "When the Crown Prince is in Xiyan Palace, remember to avoid suspicion and it's best not to show your face in front of him."

Her voice carried a hint of seriousness.

Li Jing and Jun Zechen are about the same age and both have good looks, with the gentle and refined appearance of a young master.

If Jun Zechen saw a young imperial physician frequently visiting her palace, she would always pay some attention to him.

Moreover, men like Jun Zechen have an incredibly strong possessiveness towards women.

Yesterday, it was because of her casual mention that Jun Zechen got Li Jing without ever having met her.

If Jun Zechen had met Li Jing, he might have found a way to get him transferred away.

Therefore, it is best for Li Jing not to meet with the Crown Prince.

Knowing Su Jingyao's thoughts, Li Jing nodded slightly, "Yes, Master."

"Don't call me master in the palace," Su Jingyao said softly, her tone casual.

She saved him in the first place; it was an accident.

Because of his childhood experiences, Li Jing has always felt extremely humble. He initially called her "Miss," but later, after helping her with her work and managing her business, he began to call her "Master."

Su Jingyao didn't care about these titles and never restricted him, letting him call her whatever he wanted. But that wouldn't work in the palace.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's eyes trembled slightly, and he said softly, "Yes, Consort."

In his heart, the reason he called her "master" was because he harbored delusions about her.

He knew all too well that he was of lowly status and not worthy of her at all.

Therefore, for Li Jing, the title "master" signifies that he belongs to her.

"Step down."

Su Jingyao waved gently, signaling him to leave.

Li Jing slowly withdrew, and after he left, Miao Yun, Miao Xia, Miao Yue, and Miao Xue entered one after another.

When Miaoxia saw Su Jingyao's reddened hands, she quickly went to the dressing table and took out a bottle of ointment.

She carefully opened the jar, gently dipped some ointment into it, and softly applied it to her.

Miaoyue stood beside Su Jingyao and asked softly, "Your Highness, now that Physician Jin is here, shouldn't we be on guard against the other women in the Eastern Palace getting pregnant?"

Su Jingyao leaned lazily against the couch, her hands casually resting on the table, letting Miaoxia apply the ointment for her.

She said casually, "No need, it's their luck if they get pregnant." Her tone was indifferent and disdainful.

After Jun Zechen becomes emperor, he will definitely have more than just her sons. She doesn't plan to have them one after another, so there's no need to be on guard now.

So what if they're born? Anyone who gets in her son's way will be eliminated.

A cold expression flashed across Su Jingyao's face, her eyes revealing a resolute and ruthless look, but she quickly returned to normal.

"What's the situation now that the Crown Princess has been released from confinement?"

After Miaoxia finished applying the ointment evenly, Su Jingyao slowly withdrew her hand.

Gently playing with the warm and smooth jade in my hand.

This jade was recently sent by Jun Zechen. It has an extremely fine texture and is of superior quality. She often likes to hold it in her hands and play with it.

"After the Crown Princess was released from confinement, she has become much more restrained. The Crown Prince treats her the same as before, and the places they often visit are either our Xiyan Palace or Qiluan Palace."

As Miaoxia spoke, she kept an eye on Su Jingyao's expression.

"But I've heard..."

Miao Yun's face revealed a clear look of schadenfreude. She slightly raised her chin and raised her voice slightly, with a hint of pride.

"Even when His Highness goes to other new concubines' places, he doesn't stay overnight; he goes back to Yude Palace to sleep halfway through."

Miaoyun had been worried that her mistress would be unable to serve His Highness because of her pregnancy, fearing that His Highness would be seduced by other women.

It seems that the master still holds some weight in His Highness's heart.

His Highness the Crown Prince has never left Xiyan Palace after favoring his mistress.

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of mockery and sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

Does Jun Zechen still think that he was defiled for touching other women?

Does he think he's the one who's wronged because he slept with other women?

If he really had such thoughts, Su Jingyao felt she would laugh her head off.

She was now extremely curious about what Emperor Jingsheng had said to Jun Zechen that had changed his original strong aversion to women from aristocratic families.

From the moment Jun Zechen realized he liked Ling Yue, he didn't want to touch any other women.

Su Jingyao immediately saw through Jun Zechen's inner turmoil.

Jun Zechen doesn't like to touch women he doesn't like; if he does, he feels unclean.

Just like when Jun Zechen thought the Empress had drugged him and then touched her, he was so angry, and this was probably the reason for it.

Therefore, Su Jingyao had been scheming to make Jun Zechen take the initiative. The change in her relationship with Jun Zechen was always the result of Jun Zechen's inability to control his heart.

In this relationship, the only innocent party is Su Jingyao.
