Shao He had not expected The Emperor to speak so, but this was only advantageous and not harmful to her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"You girl, not only are your medical skills superb, but you're also exceptionally intelligent, capturing my heart," The Emperor praised Shao He, who stood before him, unable to stop the outpouring of compliments.
This made the others sense something amiss; The Emperor had never praised anyone so highly before. Why was he suddenly so appreciative of a woman today?
Although The Emperor had just woken up and was out of danger, his complexion still looked somewhat tired. He rubbed the corners of his eyes and waved at the crowd.
"You all may leave, I wish to rest."
"Your Majesty, allow your consort to stay and care for you," the Empress said, feigning a virtuous and gentle demeanor.
The Emperor held her hand and patted it. "You've also worked hard during this period, go back and rest."
"Then, Your Majesty, please rest well."
