"Empress, this humble subject …"

Shangguan Wan smiled in return, walking over to the imperial physician. "I know this will make things difficult for you, so I won't force you, as long as you know what I'm doing."

She only wanted to make use of him. If someone spoke up for her, then she would make that man called Nangong Yu lower his temper a little.

When Nangong Yu heard the Imperial Physician's words, he couldn't help but mock him in his heart.

Woman, you're lying again. Do you really think I don't know that you cut your hand on purpose? It is likely to be used to search for such a thing. Ha ha, just what is the use of the Saltwater Chen-Wood? Is it worth it for you to search for it like this?

I sent an imperial physician over just to test you and force you to speak the truth. But now, you're using some lousy flower to fool me.

Nangong Yu's expression was cold and his eyes glazed over.

Xiao Lin walked in with a letter in his hands and presented it to the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor sent this over. May Your Majesty view it."

Nangong Yu was puzzled. The Imperial Advisor should be returning to the Imperial Court at this time, but he actually sent a letter over. Was there a change?

He hurriedly opened the letter and read through it. Only after reading did he realize that the Imperial Advisor was injured and that he would probably be back a little later.

He put down the letter and touched his forehead. Things were no longer going so smoothly.

If he could, he wanted to find her some salted birch so that she wouldn't have to work so hard.

Woman, oh woman, what should I do with you?

Suddenly, he stood up and left the Dragon Throne. With a calm voice, he said, "Go, return to the palace."

Shangguan Wan was not surprised, because the imperial physician must have told her about it. With his personality, it would be strange if he didn't ask.

As expected, the emperor took a sip of tea and said, "Using blood to nourish the flowers is something I've never heard of before."

Now that there was no one else in the hall, she didn't need to act. She smiled and said, "Your majesty has never heard of it, but it doesn't mean you haven't. Nan Yan and Xuan Yue are very far away. How much do you know about the customs there?"

Nangong Yu's index finger knocked on the table, and he couldn't help but nod with a smile on his face, "The empress has become more sharp-tongued, I am truly ashamed of myself."

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. However, he wasn't sure if the Emperor was pretending. After all, his acting skills were on par with his own.

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be ashamed. Since chenqie has married you, then this chenqie will treat everything as the joint possession of a husband and wife. What's there to divide it up with?"

The words made sense, but to him, they didn't sound so real.

Husband and wife, why did husband and wife have to make a fool of each other? This was just a political marriage, and he was acting it out as if it were a dream.

Nangong Yu didn't directly answer her, but with a hesitant look on his face, he asked, "The empress really misses home?"

Shangguan Wan could only nod in response to her lie, her eyes staring dully at the potted plant. With a sentimental tone, she said, "The emperor has always been living in the palace. He doesn't know what it feels like to leave his hometown."

He wasn't living in the palace like she had said. In the past, he had personally led the army and fought alongside Chu Jingli on the battlefield.

At that time, he had wanted to visit his home, but in order to expand his territory and achieve dominance, he had no choice but to bury this feeling in his heart.

"I understand." Nangong Yu nodded his head, his pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes staring straight at her.

Today, she was wearing a light pink dress, which made her body look even more transparent. Her facial features were small and delicate, somewhat similar to the girls next door who did not wear makeup.

She wasn't the kind of woman who could topple the world by just looking at her, but if you looked at her for too long, you'd think she was even more beautiful.

Shangguan Wan looked back, but met a pair of hot eyes, filled with deep love.

She unconsciously pursed her lips. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

The heavens have done wrong. His Majesty the Emperor fell in love with the Celestial Fox Immortal.

The Dao of the Heavens already had a rule that mortals and fox demons were not allowed to be righteous.

How could he forget this relationship that could not bear results?

"Empress, accompany me for a walk." After Nangong Yu finished speaking, he stood up and left the Dragon Case, a valiant and valiant look on his face.

Shangguan Wan shook her head, her eyes remained calm. "Your concubine is not feeling well, I'm afraid I can't accompany Your Majesty."

It was better to keep a distance from him, lest they sink deeper and deeper. At that time, the situation would become abnormally dire.

What else was she not satisfied with? What she wanted, what he had given her, and even what he had tacitly approved of her being together with that childhood friend of hers. As the emperor, he was truly useless.

If it was anyone else, that man would definitely not be able to live past today. However, he had no choice but to give her a way out because he was afraid that she would be sad.

Shangguan Wan sighed, a sense of loss welled up in her heart, "Because I can't get it, I can't ask for it." It was hard to imagine how difficult it was to find something like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Having been in the palace for so long, she had no clue.

Nangong Yu knew what she was talking about, and hesitated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "Are you talking about the Aral Spring Wood?"

Shangguan Wan was startled, he knew about the Salt Spring Wood?

Originally, they had thought that the tree was a thousand-year-old ancient tree, and had only appeared in legends. Very few people in the world knew of it.
