Ms. Doctor Divine



"Since you're not feeling well, Sword One can attend to you in the main hall, and I'll sleep in the wing room. Just call me if you need anything," Zhou Huaijin stated directly.

They had recently married, and Zhou Huaijin longed to fall asleep with Gu Chaoyan in his arms. However, recent events had left him feeling unsettled.

But…

He wasn't sure if Chaoyan's reaction was a result of his actions, he didn't want to take any chances. He prioritized her well-being above all else, and there would be ample opportunities for them to spend time together in the future.

Upon hearing the arrangement, Gu Chaoyan opened her mouth as if to speak, but after a moment of contemplation, she decided against it.

On one hand, she didn't fully understand the cause of her current condition. On the other hand, if Huaijin stayed with her, he might not have a restful sleep.

For the time being, this arrangement seemed appropriate.

Fengxian Palace was larger than Xinlin Mansion, but Gu Chaoyan wasn't accustomed to having many people around her. Therefore, Sword One was the only one who would stay by her side overnight.

After attending to her grooming and washing, Gu Chaoyan instructed Sword One to sleep in the adjacent bed.

She closed her eyes and began to reflect on her health.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, when she acquired this body from the original host, there were underlying health issues.

However, she had been preoccupied with combating the smaller poisons that affected her.

When she tried to detoxify the poison that had influenced her appearance and caused her body to gain weight, she lost control over the balance of heat and coldness within her body and fainted.

Initially, Mr. Zhao had been there to assist her with this, and later, Madame Min had accompanied her on one occasion.

As time passed and with few occurrences, she gradually forgot about it.

Unbeknownst to her, there existed a fundamental poison within her body that had persisted for a long time.

On that particular day…

She suddenly felt an intense heat within her body. As the temperature rose, the heat seemed to interact with other poisons in her system, causing inexplicable sensations beyond her control.

Even Lingyun, who possessed great skill, was unable to do anything about it. This suggested that the poison must have been introduced into her body by someone more adept than Lingyun.

Despite her attempts to use the magical spring water from her space, the problem persisted, unaffected by the quantity she consumed or applied.

Since the previous day, she had experienced intermittent moments of intense coldness, followed by sudden bouts of heat. Worried about causing unnecessary concern, she kept these fluctuations to herself.

There was no book within her space that could shed light on this peculiar condition.

Her anxiety grew with each passing moment, wondering if it was somehow connected to her being Phoenix Girl.

None of these developments boded well.

Considering Zhou Huaijin's unwavering devotion from the very beginning, it was disheartening that such an issue arose on their wedding night.

Gu Chaoyan's confidence waned, and she found herself tossing and turning before finally succumbing to sleep amid her troubled thoughts.

She had barely awakened when Zhou Huaijin spoke to the guard in a hushed voice, "The Crown Prince's strategist is requesting to see me?
