[Rewards have been distributed.]

[The system reminds you again that the Host has been close to death twice. If the Host truly dies, this system will not be able to help. Please take care and do not seek death.]

As the system's voice faded, Xu Ming's consciousness gradually returned.

However, as Xu Ming's consciousness returned, the first thing Xu Ming felt was the intense pain in his chest.

Although it wasn't the location of the heart, that piercing pain really made Xu Ming hum softly.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu..."

Hearing Xu Ming's hum, Shen Sheng Sheng, who had been guarding Xu Ming's bedside, suddenly brightened her eyes.

For so many days, Sheng Sheng had been hoping for Xu Ming to wake up, and finally, that day had arrived.

"Sister Yan Han, Brother Xu seems to be awake, Sister Yan Han!"

Sheng Sheng ran out of the room and shouted to Wu Yan Han, who was decocting medicine in the courtyard.

Wu Yan Han quickly lifted her skirt and walked into the room.

On Wu Yan Han's fair cheeks, there was still a smear of soot.

Inside the room, Xu Ming was still making soft humming sounds.

Wu Yan Han quickly walked to Xu Ming's side to take his pulse.

Although Wu Yan Han was not a medical cultivator, as a martial artist, she needed to have a clear understanding of her body. Moreover, martial artists were often injured, so Wu Yan Han also knew some medical skills.

"Your Brother Xu is about to wake up," Wu Yan Han said to Sheng Sheng with joy. "Sheng Sheng, go and bring the medicine from the courtyard. I will transmit some martial artist's true qi to Xu Ming to see if it can suppress his pain. He must be in great pain right now."

"Okay..."

Sheng Sheng nodded and quickly ran out of the room to pour the medicine for Brother Xu.

Wu Yan Han helped Xu Ming up and took off her shoes to get on the bed. She sat cross-legged behind Xu Ming and placed her hands on Xu Ming's back to transmit true qi.

As Wu Yan Han's true qi entered Xu Ming's body, Xu Ming's painful humming gradually stopped, and his brows also gradually relaxed.

Sheng Sheng walked in with the medicine and carefully fed Xu Ming the medicine under Wu Yan Han's instructions.

"Huff..."

After feeding a bowl of medicine into Xu Ming's mouth, Wu Yan Han also let out a deep breath.

Seeing Brother Xu sweating profusely, Sheng Sheng quickly pinched her sleeves and carefully wiped it for Brother Xu.

Five breaths later, Xu Ming's complexion gradually turned rosy, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother Xu!" When she saw Xu Ming open his eyes, Sheng Sheng's eyes were filled with tears.

"Sheng Sheng..." Xu Ming smiled. "Why are you crying? Aren't I doing well?"

Wu Yan Han got off the bed and gently laid Xu Ming back on the bed: "During the time you were unconscious, Sheng Sheng didn't know how many times she cried. She stayed by your bed all day long and didn't want to rest no matter what."

Xu Ming looked at Sheng Sheng.

Sheng Sheng blushed and said to Xu Ming: "The reason why Brother Xu was so badly injured and lying unconscious in bed is all because of Sheng Sheng. It is only natural for Sheng Sheng to take care of Brother Xu."

"It's not as serious as you said. Besides, I didn't die," Xu Ming gently touched Sheng Sheng's face.

Sheng Sheng tightly held Xu Ming's big hand that was touching her small face.

Xu Ming looked at Wu Yan Han: "During the time I was unconscious, what did the Martial Emperor say?"

Xu Ming was very clear that the princess's mansion had caused such a big commotion, and it was impossible for the Martial Emperor not to know.

The Martial Emperor would definitely summon Yan Han and Sheng Sheng.

And the matter about Sheng Sheng could no longer be concealed.

For an emperor, especially for an ambitious emperor, what they care about most is their evaluation in later history books, and even their ranking in the entire history of the human race's emperors.

And to become a monarch who is praised for thousands of years, it is not only about political harmony and harmony, but more importantly, whether you have expanded your territory?

Some of the political achievements you have made may be overturned by later generations.

However, the territory you have opened up, whenever others mention these lands, the first thing they will think of is you.

The simplest and most direct way to expand territory, and also the most rigid condition, is to enhance the strength of the army.

Research on Sheng Sheng may create an inexhaustible magic army, which is a huge temptation for anyone!

"During the time you were unconscious, my father did summon me and Sheng Sheng to the palace.

After I met with my father, my father did not hide it and said that he wanted Sheng Sheng to stay in the palace.

I definitely know what my father is thinking.

If Sheng Sheng stays in the palace, I'm afraid she will be dissected by those imperial physicians.

However, under my opposition, my father weighed the pros and cons and finally gave up."

Wu Yan Han answered briefly and truthfully.

"Yeah."

Xu Ming nodded.

As for Yan Han and Sheng Sheng being able to come out of the palace so easily.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Ming could also think of why.

After all, even if the Martial Emperor obtained Sheng Sheng and let those imperial physicians study her, it was only possible to obtain this technology.

However, if the Martial Emperor forcibly wanted to keep Sheng Sheng in the palace.

His only daughter would stand on the opposite side of him, and it was certain that they would turn against each other.

Not to mention that the friendship with the North Sea was because of himself.

Now, the Wu Kingdom can be said to be surrounded by enemies, and internal and external troubles are very serious.

If the Wu Kingdom's relationship with the North Sea deteriorates at this time, and even leads to the North Sea sending troops to the Wu Kingdom, it is simply unimaginable.

The Martial Emperor is not a fool, this is a relatively easy multiple-choice question.

And this incident also made Xu Ming realize that if a person wants to have more choices, they must have enough chips, and the prerequisite is that your strength is hard enough.

"Speaking of which, didn't I hear you say before that you asked the imperial physician to diagnose Sheng Sheng? Didn't they tell your father before?" Xu Ming asked, feeling quite strange in his heart.

Wu Yan Han only curled the corner of her mouth: "Could it be that the entire palace is my father's people?"
