Chapter 246 -247 The Person Who is Cold on the Outside but Warm on the Inside

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.”

After everyone left The Emperor’s bedchamber, Shao He saw someone waiting in the distance and walked over.

“Why did you have me push you in front of everyone? And even use the favor of saving your life as a bargaining chip?”

Shao He did not understand what he was trying to do, but one thing was clear to her: Yun Qian was definitely keeping a lot from her, and it was something very dangerous.

“Don’t worry, it won’t involve you,” Yun Qian managed to squeeze out a faint smile but was not willing to reveal why he had to do this and even repeatedly reassured Shao He it would not implicate her.

Pei Huaian, who followed, sneered from behind, crossed his arms, and said, “He just used a stupid method, which might not be successful and put himself in danger.”

From this interaction, Shao He sensed something fishy; she realized Pei Huaian seemed to know the inside story.

This led her to a bold guess; could it be related to Consort Ming, Pei Huaian’s mother?

That also explained why she had seen the Empress with a trace of fear and why The Emperor was so annoyed with him; everything made sense now.

“It’s better than sitting around waiting for death. As long as they are willing to act, we can catch their weak points, but I’m afraid they’ll keep hiding in the shadows, not willing to show up,” Yun Qian said, now without other options and ready to bet it all.

Perhaps this was the only way to force those people out; otherwise, they would always be on the defensive.

“With your current abilities, even if they appear, what can you do? You’d be nothing but a fish on the chopping block at their mercy!”

“My life for theirs, it’s worth it!”

“Life for life? Do you think Doctor Yun’s entire family wishes you to do this?”

The two argued for a while, and then an Imperial Physician hurried over. Yun Qian noticed his anxious expression and immediately walked a few steps away with him.

After speaking privately, Yun Qian returned to bid farewell to the two and left with the Imperial Physician.

Pei Huaian watched the retreating figure, unease in his heart, and glanced back at Ah Mo, saying, “Send someone to protect Yun Qian in secret, to prevent him from being harmed by villains.”

Seeing the typically cold yet tenderhearted man, Shao He couldn’t help but laugh. Just a moment ago, he had called another’s actions foolish, and now he was sending protection; what a tough talker he was.

Pei Huaian had no idea of Shao He’s thoughts, and he couldn’t help but worry, saying, “This time, you have completely come into the public eye. I expect troubles won’t be scarce in the future.”

The more capable one is, the more they attract the envy of others, as the saying goes, a tall tree catches the wind.

Shao He shrugged nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter. No one dares to openly harm me anyway. If anything happens to me, The Emperor will surely investigate thoroughly.”

“But you still need to be very careful not to fall into someone’s trap unknowingly,” Pei Huaian said, his concern prompting the warning.

Shao He rolled her eyes directly at him. Although she had not been in this place for long, she was well aware of the convoluted schemes and would not easily fall into others’ traps.

Two days after returning to Anji Hall, the first trouble came knocking.

Shao Zhengru and Mei Ying paid a visit in person to fetch Shao He, their demeanor very earnest, saying, “In the past, we were in the wrong. Give your father another chance, he will surely make it up to you and your mother properly.”

“Make it up? How does father intend to do that? With silver, or with lives?”

Shao He’s lips curled into a cold smile—these people were truly shameless, talking about making amends when their very existence was the greatest mistake.

“I…” Shao Zhengru’s complexion changed.

Mei Ying quickly explained, “Xiao He, indeed I was foolish and confused back then, causing your mother to suffer. But all of it was voluntarily given up by your mother.”

Mei Ying was crying and tugging at her clothes, while Shao Zhengru promptly pulled her up, continuously comforting her.

“Xiao He, I am your father. Would I harm you? Just give us one more chance, please?”

“We truly want to take you and the child back to the Shao Family. I even agree that your child can have a share of the ancestral property,” Shao Zhengru thought this might sway Shao He to change her mind.

But he was wrong; money meant nothing to Shao He. She preferred to earn it herself, finding peace and comfort in spending what she had worked for.

“Father, keep your fortune for others. My child and I won’t want a single part of it. Have I made myself clear enough this time?” Shao He said, her face cold as she bluntly refused.
