Gan Sui knelt on the ground, lowering his head. "To be precise, Your Majesty's illness is not serious. It's just that your health has been poor for many years, and the cold air has entered your body during the winter. It has not been cured for a long time, so it has accumulated into a serious illness. I have used silver needles to draw out the cold air in your body. As long as Your Majesty rests well, you will recover soon."

The emperor still stared at him: "You are not lying?"

"I dare not lie. If Your Majesty does not believe me, you can summon the imperial physician. What the imperial physician says will definitely not be different from what I say."

He was so decisive that the emperor stared at him for a while. Seeing that he looked calm and did not seem to be lying, he stopped asking questions.

The queen quickly brought in hot porridge and served him personally. The emperor had just recovered from an illness and was still very weak and tired. After eating a bowl of porridge, he wanted to go to sleep.

But he said: "Prime Minister, please stay here with me."

The Queen said, "Your Majesty, please let me stay here with you. Thank you for your illness. You have been through it for a few days and must be very tired."

The emperor said, "Let the Prime Minister sleep in my side palace. I will have something to say to him when I wake up."

At this point, the Queen was helpless. She just looked at Xie Lin deeply with a warning in her eyes, then took her leave from the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I will escort Princess Cheng'an out of the palace and will come back to guard you." Xie Lin said.

The emperor nodded slightly and allowed him to go.

Xie Lin walked out with Chu Heyi, and Gan Sui followed behind them.

After leaving the main gate of the Emperor's bedroom, Xie Lin said, "Doctor Gan Sui should stay in the palace with me. If the Emperor has any problems, he can be treated in time."

Gan Sui had no objection.

Chu Heyi looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Gan Sui, the emperor is not sick, right?"

The person who was most loyal to her was Chu Heyi, who never thought of hiding the truth from her, and said bluntly: "It was poisoning. But I think no one in the palace dared to poison the emperor. Most likely, the immortality pills that the emperor took contained toxins, which led to the emperor's poisoning.

"But if I said that, those who made the longevity pills would lose their heads. Moreover, after they die, I will be abducted by the emperor into the palace and forced to make longevity pills for him. Unfortunately, there is no medicine in the world that can make people immortal. I can only lie."

The emperor's pursuit of immortality has been a long-standing tradition, and neither Xie Lin nor Chu Heyi was surprised.

However, Chu Heyi still said: "I'm just afraid that someone has tampered with the Changsheng Pills and made the toxins worse."

Xie Lin and Gan Sui looked at each other and both understood the implication of her words.

The Queen wants the Emperor to die.

Chu Heyi thought of something else and asked, "By the way, the emperor is so ill, why doesn't he see Eunuch Yao? Isn't he always by the emperor's side?"

Xie Lin said, "He was probably tricked by the prince to go somewhere else, but I don't know where. The emperor is fine, so he shouldn't be in danger either, and he will be back soon."

Chu Heyi nodded in agreement.

"Then I will go back first. You guys should serve the emperor in the palace and be careful."

Xie Lin smiled faintly and comforted her: "Don't worry, the emperor has woken up, our lives will not be in danger."

Chu Heyi looked at him deeply for a long time before she turned and left. Xie Lin watched her back disappear around the corner before he took Gan Sui back to the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor had fallen asleep. Yao An came back and served him. Xie Lin went to a side hall to rest. He was indeed exhausted.

When he woke up again, it was already dark, and he was woken up by Yao An, who called out, "Thank you, sir. The emperor wants you to come over."

When Xie Lin saw the emperor again, he found that the emperor's complexion had improved a lot. He had taken some medicine and some noodles, and was able to sit alone by the bed and talk to him.

"Xie Lin, I was able to wake up this time thanks to you. Looking around the world, you are the person I trust the most now." Thinking that he almost died from this serious illness, and it was Xie Lin who broke through layers of obstacles and invited a miracle doctor to cure him, he was full of infinite trust in Xie Lin.

Although the Queen was worried and confused, he was still afraid in his heart. If it weren't for Xie Lin's insistence, he was afraid that he would not have survived.

That was why he let Xie Lin stay in the palace.

Only when Xie Lin was around did he dare to go to sleep and feel safe.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. This is what I should do."

The emperor looked at Yao An, who understood and turned to leave.

After a while, Yao An brought in a man in black who was nearly thirty years old. The man was tall and strong, and walked with steady steps. He must be a martial artist.

"This man is called Xue Jinfei. He has been working under Yin Shao. Yin Shao has trained him for more than ten years. His personal ability and ability to lead people are very strong. I will give him and his twenty men to you.

"If something like today happens again in the future, you can take him with you and handle all matters without the Queen's permission."

Outsiders have always known that the emperor has a very powerful commander, Yin Shao, by his side, but they did not know that there is also a Xue Jinfei in secret.

Xie Lin was shocked and quickly knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. As long as I am still an official in the court, I will definitely protect Your Majesty's safety!"

The emperor patted his shoulder heavily: "I believe you!"

When he was critically ill, Xie Lin dared to ignore the Queen's objection and brought people to treat him. Such courage and loyalty at the cost of one's life are not something that everyone has.

"Are you hungry? Yao An, I would like to thank the Prime Minister for his supper." The emperor said, smiling: "Now it should be called supper."

For the next three days, the emperor kept Xie Lin by his side until he was almost well, and then he allowed Xie Lin to leave the palace and return to his home.

The moment he walked out of the palace, Xie Lin looked up at the sky and saw the bright sunshine, white clouds and blue sky, which was very beautiful.

The wild flowers on the roadside are blooming, spring is coming, and his wedding with Chu Heyi is getting closer.

The wedding is approaching, and everyone in the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion is actively preparing for the wedding. Even Chu Heyi has to stay in her boudoir to complete the last stitch of her wedding dress. However, she did not expect that an uninvited guest would come to the house at this time.

That person turned out to be the old lady of Xie Mansion, Xie Lin's mother.

Behind her were a nanny, a maid, two elderly people invited from the Xie family, and even people from her own family.

The group of more than twenty people came in such a mighty force that they soon alarmed everyone in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

The second lady welcomed the guests to the main hall and asked them to sit down, and ordered people to serve tea and snacks.

Chu Heyi felt dizzy from staying in her boudoir, so she came out to take a breath. When she learned that Old Lady Xie was coming, she quietly went behind the screen in the main hall to see what the old lady was doing.

It was unknown how long she had been there. When Chu Heyi arrived, he only heard the old lady say, "I have never forgotten the feud between the Chu and Xie families. The scene of my eldest son's tragic death has come into my dreams every night.

"Children's marriages are always arranged by their parents and matchmakers. As a mother, I don't agree with Xie Lin's plan to marry a girl of your choice.

"Second Madam, I, the old lady, came to your house today for only one thing: to break off the engagement with the girl of your family on behalf of my son Xie Lin!"
