31. So, Who Is the Fool!?

“Tell me, why is it that every guard who beats you always meets a miserable death?”Chen Long gripped Xiu Zhangjian’s jaw. To anyone watching, he would look like a madman interrogating a living corpse, a man who could not even open his eyes.“Stop playing dead. Answer me!” Chen Long glared so fiercely his eyes nearly burst from their sockets. Yet only silence answered him.A low groan followed as Chen Long delivered a kick.The Head Guard was clearly irritated. Questions swarmed his mind, yet he had no one to ask. Worse still, time pressed him for answers.Three guards were already dead. Each had beaten Xiu Zhangjian before dying in the night.The problem was, only a fool would believe that this frail slave was the murderer. But if it were mere coincidence, could coincidence truly repeat itself so easily? Again and again?Was there really such a thing as coincidence in this world? Even forcing the heavens to grant a blessing required tremendous effort.Chen Long sneered inwardly. What

32. The Death Registration Counter

A man sat calmly on a chair.Yet in truth, there was not a shred of calm within his heart.His sharp eyes were fixed upon the man kneeling before him, both hands shackled behind his back. If the man clad in imperial gold was filled with unrest, then the pitiful figure kneeling below him was the complete opposite. There was no fear on his face at all.“If you still wish to live, do not make things difficult for yourself.”“Even if Your Majesty asks a hundred times, my answer will remain the same. I alone killed those two intruders and personally delivered their corpses to you. There is no other truth to be spoken. I have said this from the very beginning.”!?A loud crash erupted within the chamber, making the soldiers stationed outside rise onto their toes. They exchanged glances, hoping to understand what had just happened inside.But it was clearly futile.Why not simply peek inside?Unfortunately, those soldiers still wished to live.“Even if you shatter every piece of porcelain in

33. The Guard of the Death Registration Counter

A blue eyed girl jogged forward, chasing after another young woman."Physician Jia, how is his condition?" she asked, the anxiety on her shoulders as heavy as a mountain.The girl in white looked calm, despite the worry ringing clearly in the voice behind her. Without turning her head, she replied, "He is fine. There is nothing to worry about. Just bruises. Apply a cold compress and it will pass." "What?!" The blue eyed girl could not stop her brows from knitting together. She turned back toward the frail man lying on the bed."Physician Jia, did you not see my future husband’s condition?" she added sharply.The temple of the girl called Physician Jia twitched. She stopped grinding the medicine in her hands and finally looked at the troublesome woman before her.Had prison life driven this woman mad?Physician Jia raised one eyebrow."Physician Jia, examine my future husband properly! He has been waiting his turn, yet you give such a careless diagnosis. If he were truly fine, I woul

34. A Humane Choice

Inside a dark chamber, the thin rays slipping through the cracks of the wooden walls became the only source of light after the candle had been extinguished. No sound stirred the air, for the lone person within slept deeply beneath the embrace of a blanket.Yet, upon closer inspection, a pair of eyes could be seen fixed intently on the sleeping figure. A face covering concealed everything except dark brown pupils that gleamed faintly in the gloom.Slowly, the mysterious figure crept forward, drawing nearer to the woman lying on the bed. He paused for a moment, silently observing her face.Then, with swift precision, a strong hand clamped over the woman’s mouth. Any trace of drowsiness vanished at once. Her eyes flew open as she struggled to scream, though what emerged was only—“Mmm… mmm…!”Even that sound reached no ears but her own.“Physician Jia, do not be afraid. I have no ill intentions.”So it was true. The intruder was a man. That realization only deepened Physician Jia’s terro

35. A Gift from a Foolish Slave

“Thank heavens. Many thanks for your kindness, Physician Jia. As a token of my gratitude, please accept this.” Xiu Zhangjian extended a small, round object, dark brown in color, resembling some kind of pill.Physician Jia’s temple twitched. “W what is this, sir?”“This is a miraculous medicine passed down by my ancestors. My grandfather gave me only two pills. I swallowed one when I was still a child. The other I have kept until now.”Physician Jia forced a stiff smile, revealing her neat white teeth. To be honest, she had no idea what kind of medicine the slave was giving her. In all her years as a physician, she had never seen anything like it.“Then this medicine must be extremely precious to you. You should keep it and take it yourself someday. There is no need to trouble yourself. I only did what I ought to do.”“A precious medicine is useless if one’s life is already gone. Since you have saved my life, I beg you to accept it.” Xiu Zhangjian bowed even lower.Frankly speaking, Ph

36. Chen Yufei’s Request

The smoke from the extinguished candle had not yet fully dissipated when the flame at its wick sprang back to life. It was painfully obvious that the one lighting it was under attack by anxiety, or perhaps fear itself.Even though the man who had slipped into her room was already gone, Physician Jia could no longer sleep. The night was still far too dark for waking.How could she possibly close her eyes when, before long, she might never be able to open them again?“No, this cannot go on. I refuse to be fooled by that foolish slave!” For some reason, she still felt entitled to call Xiu Zhangjian a foolish slave, even though it was clearly her own stupidity that had trapped her in such a desperate situation.Physician Jia climbed down from the bed and hurried outside, moving quickly toward the medicine storage room. Even though dawn was still a long way off, she could not simply sit and wait for death. She still intended to tell Chen Long the truth about Xiu Zhangjian’s condition.No m

37. The Head Guard’s Hope

The eyes of the patients inside the Quzhou Prison Medical Hall shifted left and right, following the footsteps of a woman who paced back and forth without rest. They exchanged glances with one another, hoping to understand what had made the physician so restless.Of course, none of them dared to ask. Their curiosity lodged in their throats, only to be swallowed back down in silence.“Physician Jia, is something wrong? You look troubled,” a nurse finally asked, voicing what the patients themselves could not.“No. Nothing is wrong. I just feel… unwell.” Physician Jia forced a smile onto her pale face.“Then you should rest. Your complexion looks terrible.”“Do not concern yourself with me. Go back to work. I know what I am doing.”Not only the nurse, but even the patients who had been observing her stiffened at the harshness in her tone. Physician Jia had never been known as a gentle person. She was usually quiet, speaking only when necessary. Even when her words cut deep with blunt hon

38. The Paper Scroll

“My apologies, Master Chen. In truth, Physician Jia is not in good health today.”Physician Jia frowned sharply upon hearing her subordinate answer so boldly without being asked. “You are far too insolent! Do you think you are speaking to a patient? Return to your post!”The nurse could only swallow hard before leaving, her chest tight with unease. Today alone, Physician Jia had already snapped at her three times.Just moments ago, Physician Jia’s pale face had clearly shown great strain. The nurse had thought that answering the Head Guard’s question on her behalf might earn gratitude. Instead, the result was completely opposite.It seemed that Physician Jia had forgotten how to say thank you.Interestingly, it was not only Physician Jia’s brow that furrowed. Chen Long’s brow creased as well. No, he was not offended by the nurse’s behavior in the slightest. Rather, his gaze remained fixed on Physician Jia, who appeared utterly unlike her usual self.What is going on? Why is Physician

39. Physician Jia’s Tale

The evening breeze drifted gently, setting the leaves of the towering tree into an endless dance. The soft friction of leaves brushing against one another formed a soothing melody, easing the weariness left behind by a day of monotonous routine. Added to that was the tree’s distinct aroma, unlike any other fragrance. Yet all of it seemed utterly meaningless to the woman pacing restlessly beneath its branches.The expression on the woman standing under the agarwood tree was tangled with turmoil. Her brows were stubbornly drawn together, refusing to part. Her lips moved constantly, as though she were muttering an incantation.“Jia Li.”“Yang Zhi! What took you so long? I nearly died waiting for you. Did I not ask you in that note to come in the afternoon? Why are you only here after the sun has already set?”Yang Zhi fell silent. The heap of questions filling his mind about why Physician Jia had sent him that message earlier that morning only left him dizzy. What words could a man possi

40. Entrusting One’s Life

Yang Zhi fell silent. His mind churned relentlessly. What Physician Jia said was beginning to make sense. Every guard had been talking about how Xiu Zhangjian, half dead, was dragged into Chen Long’s quarters, only to be saved by Chen Yufei and carried to the Prisoner Medical Hall.Yang Zhi still vividly remembered how he had scolded his own companion for claiming that Miss Chen had begun to catch the stupidity of that weak slave.“Yang Zhi, when Miss Chen brought him to the Prisoner Medical Hall, he was perfectly fine. I swear I made no mistake when examining him. Proof of that is how he was able to threaten me with poison that very night.”Yang Zhi held Physician Jia by the arm. “You must have gone through something terrible. Now tell me, how is your condition? That poison…”Physician Jia shook her head. “He already gave me the antidote, because I submitted a false report to the Head Guard.”“Thank heavens for that. I would never forgive myself if you were killed by that slave.”“Ya
