This is really embarrassing. Although I did have the thought for a moment that I would feel relieved if he really died, it was another matter to be exposed in person at the bedside. People who have such thoughts are too vicious.

"I just want to understand your condition, don't misunderstand me." I bent down and explained in a low voice.

Situ Jue still had his eyes closed. Just when I was about to wonder if I was hallucinating, he slowly opened his eyes, raised his arm, and looked at me, "Help me up."

I subconsciously looked at Ji Feng who was standing at the end of the bed. He had been serving me before I came, but now Ji Feng lowered his head like a stone statue, motionless. Well, I can only do it myself.

When I reached out to hold his arm, he slapped me hard and said with some dissatisfaction, "How can I use my strength when you are like this?"

I couldn't help but look at Ji Feng again, but Situ Jue reached out to my shoulder and held it down, "Bend down a little more so I can use the force."

He had a lot of requests, so I had no choice but to follow his wishes. I almost propped him up by his upper body and sat him on the head of the bed. At this moment, Ji Feng seemed to come alive suddenly, and helped to put a soft pillow beside him, so that Situ Jue could sit more comfortably.

Situ Jue held my shoulders with my body slightly tilted. It was a bit tiring to maintain this posture. Seeing that he had sat firmly, I decided to let go.

Unexpectedly, he had no intention of letting go, and whispered in my ear in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Would you rather be a widow than my wife?"

Hey! He is too narrow-minded. Besides, how can there be only two choices? He lives well and we divorce normally, isn't that okay?

I originally wanted to open my mouth to refute and say a few words to him, but I saw that his face was indeed not very good. He looked sick, weak and aggrieved, so I made myself unhappy by saying such words. Maybe he had already guessed how I would answer.

I asked softly, "Your Majesty, is there no other possibility for our relationship?"

Considering that he is a patient, I have tried hard to restrain myself from saying anything excessive, but his expression clearly showed that he was angry, and even the fingers pressing on my shoulders were exerting a little force.

So I tried to break away from him, but when he realized my intention, he hugged me with both hands, causing me to lose my balance for a moment, and my body tilted sideways and almost fell into his arms.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a low voice. I was about to ask Doctor Sun for help. Your patient is throwing a tantrum. I turned around and found that there were only two of us in the room. The people who were watching just now had all left. No wonder Situ Jue was so unscrupulous.

"The three-year agreement hasn't even expired yet, and you're already thinking about pissing me off to death and making me a widow so you can inherit the entire palace? You have such a vicious mind."

I widened my eyes, "Don't be crazy, okay? I want your palace? You must be kidding me!"

As I was about to push him away, I wanted to stand up straight and get away from this psychopath, but I heard him groan as if I hurt him. He frowned and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay, use more force, and kill me now."

Hiss—I took a deep breath, thinking this was a scam, but I didn’t dare to move anymore.

"You are still sick, so let's not talk about this, okay? You are not comfortable with me pressing on you like this, let go first, okay?"

“No! If I die, I will drag you to hell with me.” He opened his mouth and bit my earlobe. Although he didn’t use much force, that place was very sensitive. The warm touch and slight tingling made me shiver. My cheeks quickly heated up, and I felt more and more that this man was really crazy.

"You won't die. You will live a long life and have many children and grandchildren." But the premise is that you stop doing this now!

I didn't dare to provoke him again, I didn't dare to say anything he didn't want to hear. I just regretted that I was so soft-hearted and approached him so defenselessly.

"What are you doing?" I was able to escape from Situ Jue's arms when the Toffee's voice suddenly appeared.

When I stood up again beside the bed, I saw the concubine and her personal maid standing at the door of the inner room. They had expressions of disgust on their faces, mainly directed at me.

"Jue'er is still sick, you..." The reserve of a lady from a noble family prevented her from saying it too obviously. She just shook her head in dissatisfaction and walked inside.

I quickly put on a guilty look, stepped back, and took the opportunity to distance myself from Situ Jue.

"Don't misunderstand, mother. We didn't do anything. Xingye is just concerned about the child's health." Situ Jue finally had a conscience and clarified for me.

The concubine couldn't help but look at me again, as if to warn me, and said slowly, "Although Xiyu is pregnant now, Jue'er's children will recognize you as their legal mother. You don't have to be anxious. You are still young..."

My face was already hot, and I felt even more suffocated when I heard these words. It sounded as if I didn't care about Situ Jue's life or death in order to win his favor, and I wanted to squeeze his semen while he was sick. I was completely distracted by what else she said, until the nanny beside the concubine said with a tone of reprimand, "The concubine is just reminding you with good intentions. The princess didn't say anything. Could it be that she is still dissatisfied?"

This brought me back to my senses, and I bowed my head and agreed to accept the lesson.

The concubine had already sat down beside Situ Jue's bed and asked about his condition. The mother and son talked for a while, and then she brought me out.

"Since you have moved into Zhuquan Courtyard, you will have to work harder these days and take good care of Jue'er. You don't have to worry about other things in the palace." When the concubine turned to me, her expression still retained the gentleness when she spoke to her son.

I breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off the concubine. When I looked up, I saw Situ Jue looking at me with a slight smile.

"I'll go see if the medicine is ready?" I found an excuse and turned to walk out, but I heard Situ Jue sighing softly behind me, "You promised mother."

Huh? What did I promise? I didn't listen carefully to what Toffee said just now.

Forget it, I won’t bother with him anymore and I left without looking back.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he still had to accept the task and take care of Situ Jue's daily life over the next few days.

After taking a few doses of medicine, he felt much better and was able to get out of bed and move around freely, but his hands and feet were weak and he needed someone to support him.

That’s right, I’m the human crutch again.

However, he actually remembered Shen Ru's matter in this state, and directly ordered people to go to the Jingzhao Prefecture's prison to get Zheng Hua out. When the couple came to thank me in person, I realized that Situ Jue was so efficient.
