If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Queen Qu left unwillingly.

The second prince knelt before the emperor and said, "Father, I was wrong."

"I know you love Guangning. She is my daughter, and I pity her. Otherwise, the Bai and Lu families would not have confiscated their property and demoted them to pariahs."

"The laws of the Yong Dynasty are in the minds of every citizen. Even a princess cannot kill people for pleasure."

"You are the prince, the son I value most. Today, you defended Guangning in front of the students of the world. How will they view you?"

"The Emperor of the Yong Dynasty must not be a prince who disregards the law. People in the world will not accept this."

The second prince felt extremely guilty as he looked at his father, whose voice was obviously weak.

"You have been smooth sailing for so many years. Today is your biggest lesson. I will leave this matter to you. If you can't handle it well, you should find a fiefdom and leave Shangjing City." After the emperor said this, he waved his hand and asked him to leave.

The second prince's face turned pale.

This was the opportunity given to him by his father, not only to appease the scholars outside, but also to properly deal with Guangning.

"Father, I obey your orders."

Zhou Zhou stood silently by the side. What the father and son said was like a gust of wind and he turned a deaf ear to it.

If the emperor had not spoken, he would have wanted to walk out of the hall and stay away from him.

The more you know, the faster you die.

"Doctor Zhou, how long can I live?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

In the huge bedroom, one could hear a pin drop. The emperor's heavy breathing seemed to be beating on Zhou Zhou's heart.

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor's face, which seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Your Majesty, as long as you rest well, there will be no problem." Zhou Zhou lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.

The Emperor: "I know my body very well. If you tell me the truth, I will pardon you."

"If you take good care of yourself, you still have ten years left." Zhou Zhou said and knelt down.

He lied.

No matter what happens, the emperor will not live more than two years.

His illness was not caused by anger today, but was an incurable disease that had been lingering in his body for a long time.

Even if he stayed in the palace day and night to treat the emperor, it would only take five years at most.

"Ten years is not a short time." The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Zhou Zhou seriously, examining him carefully.

"I always feel like you look familiar to me. Has anyone in your family ever served as an official in the court?" said the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am an orphan." Zhou Zhou said in a low voice.

"So that's how it is." The emperor said, closing his eyes tiredly.

A long breath was heard.

Zhou Zhou slowly raised his head, and the silver needle on his fingertips wanted to pierce the man's forehead.

One shot kills.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Zhou finally put the needle into the brocade box.

He left the bedroom silently.

Outside were Eunuch Fu and the commander of the Imperial Guard, Xie Changyu.

"Eunuch Fu, the emperor has fallen asleep. The prescription has been written. Wait until the emperor wakes up to take the medicine." Zhou Zhou whispered.

"Doctor Zhou, are you leaving the palace?"

Zhou Zhou nodded, "My wife is about to give birth, I have to stay with her."

Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "We wish Madam Ling and her child safety."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Zhou Zhou walked out of the palace leisurely.

He has a wife and children waiting for him, so he cannot have any accidents in the palace.

There is ample time.

When they returned to the clinic, they learned that Cheng Zhiyun's stomach had suddenly started to move and she was struggling to give birth in the delivery room.

Shen Sui'an was also here, bringing with him two experienced midwives.

Zhou Zhou's face changed and he hurried into the delivery room.

"Yun'er!" He took Cheng Zhiyun's hand and took her pulse.

Cheng Zhiyun turned around and smiled at him, "How can you come in when a woman is giving birth? Go out quickly, it's unlucky."

"Does it hurt?" Zhou Zhou asked.

"How can it not hurt?" Cheng Zhiyun chuckled.

"Doctor Zhou, please go out quickly. If you delay here for a moment, it will delay the midwife's delivery of Sister Cheng." Shen Suian couldn't help but drive him away.

"The midwife said that the fetus is in the right position, but the time has not come yet."

Zhou Zhou whispered, "I'll wait here."

The pain came, Cheng Zhiyun couldn't help sweating: "Go out, Sui Sui is with me."

"If Huan Ge'er comes later, you can comfort him and don't let him get scared."

Zhou Zhou finally nodded with difficulty, "I'm outside, call me anytime if you need anything."

The last sentence was directed to Shen Sui'an.

"Sui Sui, you go out and wait too. You haven't given birth yet." Cheng Zhiyun was afraid of scaring her.

Shen Sui'an had lived two lifetimes, but he had never seen anyone give birth.

"Sister Cheng, don't worry about me. I'll be here with you."

Fortunately, Zhou Zhou had taken good care of Cheng Zhiyun's health over the years, and she gave birth to a daughter at two o'clock in the morning.

The midwife gave the child to Zhou Zhou, but Zhou Zhou went to see Cheng Zhiyun first.

"Sister Cheng is just tired." Shen Sui'an's forehead was covered with sweat.

She was also nervous. In her previous life, Cheng Zhiyun did not have this daughter, so it was not easy for her and Zhou Zhou to stay together.

Zhou Zhou was still worried, so after taking Cheng Zhiyun's pulse and making sure she was fine, he turned around and took his daughter.

The little person was wrinkled and not very pretty, but Zhou Zhou felt that he was his treasure.

"I have a daughter." Zhou Zhou smiled hoarsely.

"Let Sister Cheng have a good rest." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"I brought two experienced mothers and a wet nurse with me. They will stay here to take care of Sister Cheng during her confinement."

Zhou Zhou raised his eyes and looked at her, "Thank you."

The baby started crying.

Zhou Zhou was at a loss.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Leave the child to the nurse. He must be hungry."

"Let's go out and let Sister Cheng have a good rest first."

When I reached the corridor, there was no one else around.

Zhou Zhou whispered, "Empress Yao is under house arrest, and the emperor is seriously ill."

Shen Sui'an looked at him suddenly.

"The emperor ordered the second prince to deal with this matter. The Yong Dynasty might be in chaos." Zhou Zhou curled his lips and smiled silently.

"How could it be chaotic? Among the princes who can become the crown prince now, the second prince is not the only one who is most suitable." Shen Sui'an said.

She had never seen the chaos in the Yong Dynasty in her previous life. On the contrary, the ruthless methods displayed by the Second Prince after he ascended the throne were completely different from his gentle and humble self today.

The second prince has learned the art of ruling very well.

"The emperor has so many sons, any prince would have a chance," Zhou Zhou said.

Shen Sui'an was surprised, "You don't seem to like the Second Prince."

Zhou Zhou shook his head, "No."

He simply didn't like the royal family.

"Today the emperor said that I looked familiar. He was right. I look a lot like my grandfather." Zhou Zhou said calmly.

There was a flash of shock in Shen Sui'an's eyes. It was the first time she heard Zhou Zhou talk about his life experience.

"My grandfather was originally an imperial physician in the palace. The late emperor wanted to choose an heir between the emperor and the Prince of Zhennan, and ordered my grandfather to diagnose their pulses. Those with physical illnesses were not included in the selection."

"The current emperor has a hidden illness."

"In order to prevent this matter from being discovered by the late emperor, my entire family must be killed."

"My father took my mother out of the house and we escaped the disaster, but we lived in poverty for many years afterwards."

Shen Sui'an finally understood why Zhou Zhou, despite his talent, refused to become an official or enter the palace to become an imperial physician.

"then you……"

"I have Yun'er." So he didn't do anything today.
