Next, Lin Beifan handles state affairs in the palace every day, and after finishing state affairs, he goes to the Empresss palace to take a look.

The Little Princess also came, sitting in front of the bed, very worried: Empress sister, are you feeling better? I heard youve been sleeping all day, Im so concerned!

The Empress showed a forced smile: Im much better now, Little Yunying, you dont need to worry!

Thats a relief! Empress sister, you must rest more! Before, you were overworked and caught a cold, thats why you got sick! This time, you must take care of your health and get better, okay?

The Empress nodded slightly: Yes, I understand!

And about the state affairs, dont worry, with Lin Beifan handling them, hes doing a great job! Under his control, the court is very stable, and the country is running smoothly!

The Empress smiled and said, Sir Lin indeed, hes doing very well!

Also, remember to take your medicine on time! Even though its bitter, good medicine tastes bad! Taking the medicine is what will make you feel better, right?

The Empress chuckled and said, Alright, Ill definitely take the medicine on time!

And

Lin Beifan couldnt stand it anymore: Little Princess, thats enough! There are so many imperial doctors here, all more professional than you, they will definitely take good care of Her Majesty! If you keep rambling on, Her Majesty wont be able to rest!

Hmph! The Little Princess gave a small fist wave to Lin Beifan.

Then, looking at the Empress on the bed, she said with reluctance, Empress sister, you must get better as soon as possible! I wont disturb your rest anymore, Ill leave first! Goodbye, Empress sister!

Sir Lin, accompany Little Yunying! After sending off the Little Princess, Lin Beifan returned and reported some matters.

The Empress listened with great satisfaction: With Sir Lin here, I feel very reassured. Youve worked hard these past few days!

Then, Lin Beifan left as well.

The Empress dismissed those around her, and at this moment, a white figure appeared in front of the bed.

Bai Guanyin admonished, Your Majesty, Ive been telling you to rest properly for a long time! Even if youre a martial artist, you cant withstand continuous labor day and night! Now, youve finally fallen ill! Sigh!

The Empress smiled bitterly, Sister Bai, how can I rest? There are treacherous courtiers in the court, foreign princes plotting, and natural disasters and human calamities. I dare not rest for a moment, fearing being plotted against! Fortunately, with Lin Beifan helping me with state affairs, I dont know what I would do!

Your Majesty, you must understand, no matter how strong you are, youre still just a woman. The fate of the country depends on you. Even a tough person would break down! If you fall, chaos will surely ensue! So, you absolutely cant have any accidents! The Empress sighed, Sister Bai, I understand now, Ill take better care of myself!

Furthermore, you really should find someone to help you, Bai Guanyin smiled gently, Among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Lin Beifan can help you effectively. Make him your emperor, with his assistance, the country will prosper, and you will have an easier time!

This time, the Empress blushed, but she didnt evade the topic.

Ive also realized that I cant do without Lin Beifan now! Its just that we dont have much of a foundation for our feelings, so I plan to slowly cultivate them in the future so that everything can progress naturally

Turning it into a paste? The physicians exchanged glances, Will that really work?

No problem! Lin Beifan smiled, Her Majesty cant stand the bitterness of the medicine, so well turn it into a paste to lock in the bitterness. This way, it wont affect her when she takes it! In fact, this was the method used to make tortoise jelly.

Tortoise jelly is very bitter, but if you dont bite into it, you wont taste the bitterness. When combined with some sugar syrup, it becomes easier to consume.

Approximately an hour later, the medicine was ready again. The medicine was placed outside to freeze, and it quickly solidified into a paste. Then, Lin Beifan chopped the medicine paste into pieces and mixed it with some brown sugar water, creating a fresh version of ancient turtle jelly.

Your Majesty, this is a dessert Ive prepared for you. Please taste it! Lin Beifan brought the medicine paste over.

The Empress looked at the bowl filled with black chunks, curious. Sir Lin, what is this?

Your Majesty, this is a specialty from my hometown, turtle jelly. It has a unique flavor and is beneficial for your health. Please enjoy it!

Is that so? Its rare for you to be so considerate. Ill give it a try! With the help of palace maids, the Empress took a gentle sip.

She found that the liquid was sweet and didnt refuse it. When she bit into the black chunks, they were slightly crunchy and smooth, with a hint of bitterness. However, the sweetness of the liquid covered the bitterness, making it tolerable. She swallowed it down.

Mmm, this turtle jelly is quite tasty. I really like it! The Empress said with great joy and finished the turtle jelly in just a few bites.

Your Majestys enjoyment is what matters! Lin Beifan smiled slightly. At that moment, the old eunuch approached, wearing a worried expression. Prime Minister, you should encourage Her Majesty to take her medicine, not something else!

Medicine? Your Majesty just took it! Lin Beifan chuckled.

The Empress was surprised, That was medicine?

Yes, it was the medicine Her Majesty usually takes! I simply condensed the medicine into a paste, and those black chunks inside are the medicine. The bitterness has been completely locked in, so Your Majesty wasnt affected by the medicines taste! Lin Beifan explained.

I see, it turns out you have a solution! Haha

The Empress was delighted, All of you should learn from the Prime Minister and see how he gets things done!

We will follow Your Majestys guidance! they all responded.

In the future, Ill drink this medicine called turtle jelly, and dont give me those bitter medicines! the Empress added.

Your Majesty, Ive already taught the method of preparing medicine to the Imperial Medical Pavilion, and they know how to do it! Lin Beifan said with a smile.

Very well! The Empress praised multiple times. Now that she knew it was medicine and found it not difficult to drink, she had another bowl, feeling more energetic.

She turned to Lin Beifan. Sir Lin, do you have some free time now?

Reporting to Your Majesty, Ive already finished handling all matters, so I do have some free time!

Since youre free, then accompany me for a chat! The Empress added with a hint of a bitter smile, Honestly, in such a vast imperial palace, I dont have anyone I can confide in. I want to talk and chat with someone, but its not easy!

Your Majesty, as long as you open your mouth, theres no need to worry about not having someone to talk to. Lin Beifan replied.
