Feng Xiyun’s heart stirred slightly, and she hurriedly replied, "I am deeply aware of His Majesty’s kindness towards , and I am infinitely grateful."
"Infinitely grateful?" Xiao Jinxing’s eyes turned cold.
He suddenly pulled out a token from inside his cloak.
Upon seeing that token, Feng Xiyun’s face turned pale.
Sure enough, the emperor knew that she had hidden the Empress’s token, that she had deliberately blocked the Empress from entering the military camp.
"This was found in my military camp," Xiao Jinxing looked at Feng Xiyun coldly, "Apart from the token I gave you to freely enter and exit my tents, no one else can. So, what do you have to say?!"
Feng Xiyun bit her lip tightly.
Her heart was in chaos.
Suddenly being exposed by the emperor, so ruthlessly exposed... She thought that even if the emperor knew, in order to protect her, he would let this matter slide. If the emperor really wanted to pursue it, he could have beheaded her directly this morning.
"Not arguing anymore?" Xiao Jinxing raised an eyebrow.
Tears stread down from Feng Xiyun’s eyes.
The humiliation of being exposed at this mont left her unable to utter a word.
"Today I ca to tell you, Feng Xiyun, in consideration that you once saved my life, I spared you; otherwise, do you think a re Imperial Physician like you would survive after framing the Empress? I could wipe out the entire Feng Family!" Xiao Jinxing’s aura was strong!
"I know my mistake, it was a mont of insanity that made lose my senses, I know I was wrong, I dare not do it ever again..." Feng Xiyun wept bitterly as she spoke.
No longer was there a trace of the once graceful and unworldly appearance.
Rather, she was utterly disgraced.
"Do not repeat it! Or else..." Xiao Jinxing’s eyes tightened, "I will show no rcy!"
"I dare not do it, I dare not do it ever again..." Feng Xiyun quickly replied.
Xiao Jinxing looked coldly at Feng Xiyun’s appearance.
Weak, pitiful, and imnsely sorrowful.
At the ti, Feng Xiyun risked her life to save him at the border, and disregarded her own health to heal him. He did hold her in so gratitude because she insisted that she just wanted to stay in the Imperial Hospital to improve her dical skills, without any other thoughts, thus he regarded her differently, especially since her dical skills were indeed good, and keeping her by his side was indeed useful.
Later, as Feng Xiyun gradually revealed her nature, his perception of her deteriorated bit by bit. In fact, he already saw through Feng Xiyun’s nature at the gate, but because of the tense military situation, he needed soone skilled in dicine by his side, so he still kept her.
Yet he did not expect Feng Xiyun would be so bold as to target An Ning!
He could have killed her, sparing the rest of the Feng Family from being implicated, which was indeed rcy towards Feng Xiyun. Ultimately, he would rationally keep Feng Xiyun around because of the spies in the military. His visit to warn her today was also to ensure that she would behave and not pose a threat to An Ning, and to make Feng Xiyun understand what she really ant to him now, avoiding disgrace.
Of course, there was another reason...
Xiao Jinxing’s eyes shifted, "I will not pursue today’s matter further. The war with the other nation is about to begin, Doctor Feng should recover well and accompany to the frontlines on the day of departure."
"I obey," Feng Xiyun responded respectfully.
She understood in her heart that the reason the emperor spared her was because she was still useful, and could accompany the emperor in battle, while he was unwilling to have the Empress follow him to such a dangerous place.
"I have dispatched a female soldier to take care of your daily needs during this period," Xiao Jinxing stated coolly, "Doctor Feng should heal properly."
"I am grateful for Your Majesty’s graciousness."
Xiao Jinxing did not linger further, turned around and walked out of Feng Xiyun’s tent.
The darkness outside the tent remained silent.
Xiao Jinxing’s pace was not quick.
Occasionally, he would turn back to look a few tis.
His eyes silently surveyed the surroundings.
The closer to war.
The more likely spies would be active.
Xiao Jinxing returned to his tent.
In this mont in the dark.
A hidden figure vanished entirely into the night.
Indeed, the emperor was more concerned about Feng Xiyun.
...
Inside Feng Xiyun’s tent.
The female soldier was applying dicine for her.
The pain was so unbearable, resulting in Feng Xiyun’s continuous screams.
Having never endured such pain made her feel like dying.
For instance, when subjected to punishnt, she thought several tis that she was about to pass out.
