Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 742 - 662: Another Update_2

The leading guard stepped forward anxiously, "Your Highness, you look unwell."

Yuan Geng and Hui Shan had already forgotten their previous conflict, and naturally, they saw their master was not comfortable at the first moment. Subconsciously, they took a step forward, not thinking about competing for favor at all, and suddenly bumped into the guard in front.

However, among experts, when they bumped into each other, there was no clever way to resolve it. The same loud bang almost startled Nanny Yun.

"Your Highness, please forgive us—" the other party certainly knew how to behave, as they immediately knelt down, showing Yuan Geng, who was still standing there stunned. Yuan Geng immediately wanted to kneel.

"Get up." Zheng Nianru’s voice carried impatience, but that impatience was mixed with languor and frailty, adding a flavor of mournful pity even in annoyance.

"What are you dallying for, go and call the Imperial Physician." Nanny Yun said in a low voice as she passed the guard.

The guard was startled and immediately walked away...

Zheng Nianru suddenly turned her head.

"Just call the same Imperial Doctor Feng from last time," Zheng Nianru suddenly demanded.

The guard was startled, but the next moment he promptly obeyed the command.

Yuan Geng followed his master; although they had been observing secretly for a long time, standing next to their master at this moment gave them a distinct feeling.

It was as if those illusive things had become tangible, or perhaps, the master they had long imagined didn’t match at all with the person before them.

But the Hidden Guard clan had already become history, now known to very few, and their mission was no longer the rigid ones. After all, they had withdrawn from the struggle for power, so perhaps finding such a master was already the best choice.

...

When Imperial Doctor Feng was called by his colleague, he was so frightened that the medicine spilled from his hands, his face turning deathly pale.

"Imperial Doctor Feng, what’s the matter?" His colleague was also startled; Imperial Doctor Feng had been acting like he’d seen a ghost these days, always sneaking around doing something.

But now was not the time to think about that; his colleague immediately remembered the urgent matter and said.

"Imperial Doctor Feng, hurry, the Empress has specifically asked for you," his colleague immediately said.

The medicine Imperial Doctor Feng had just picked up scattered again,

"Stop picking it up, hurry, someone is waiting at the door of the Imperial Medical Residence."

Imperial Doctor Feng could only stand up. What are they calling him for, the Empress had just mentioned? Was it the Empress who wanted him?

The usual Imperial Physician for the Empress wasn’t him; just the other day, The Emperor had only allowed him to check the Empress’s pulse at Chenyuan Hall. These days, he felt every second of his life was hard-earned, even thinking about what kind of poison to administer to himself, one that wouldn’t show any flaws and would keep his family safe. But he hadn’t yet prepared that poison.

Because administering poison to oneself also had to look flawless, naturally, it couldn’t result in an instant death; it had to appear gradual.

Imperial Doctor Feng naturally couldn’t refuse; at this time, he could only accept his fate.

"Imperial Doctor Feng, please—"

Imperial Doctor Feng recognized the person as someone from the Empress’s entourage, but usually, those were "insiders"; why would they call on him today? Imperial Doctor Feng felt even more that he might not survive the day.

But he dared not show it.

"Your honor, please—" Imperial Doctor Feng, not daring to overstep, hurriedly returned the greeting.

Imperial Doctor Feng didn’t think he could make it to Chenhe Palace, especially since the Palace Maids there were very polite to him.

"Your Highness—" Imperial Doctor Feng immediately felt his eyes well up with tears because the Empress before him appeared so benevolent that it gave him the false impression that she would not kill him.

Even though it was a delusion, Imperial Doctor Feng was still very moved.

"Imperial Doctor Feng, I find your medical skills passable, so I have called you to take my pulse again," Zheng Nianru spoke indifferently, she really had no intention of killing Imperial Doctor Feng, because she didn’t want to hide it from Zheng Congyuan.

Imperial Doctor Feng was stunned, unable to speak, as if he couldn’t believe his ears. He must be mistaken, did the Empress plan to kill him after his diagnosis?

Seeing no alternative but death, Imperial Doctor Feng shakily stepped forward, having already diagnosed the Empress once. The first time he diagnosed a pregnancy pulse, he almost thought he was mad. But as a professional and dignified Imperial Physician, he believed he had not made a mistake.

At this moment, Imperial Doctor Feng thought he was mad again, and even facing death, he couldn’t come up with any other answer.

"How is it? Imperial Doctor Feng." Zheng Nianru asked.

Imperial Doctor Feng, drenched in sweat, suddenly knelt down.

"Your Highness, what would you like?"

"Imperial Doctor Feng, you’re a physician, what are you talking about?" Nanny Yun frowned and glanced at him; the previous Imperial Physicians had been fine, so why did the Empress insist on changing to this Imperial Doctor Feng?
