The Protagonist Stole My Spiritual Roots? The Heroine, Give Me a Good Birth!

146: Visit the night market”Imperial Physician Chen, then can you come and accompany me more often when you’re free? I mean, not during treatment, after all, I don’t have many friends in this palace, and being alone is always very lonely...” Shen Xirou’s tone was gentle.

”Of course! I’m always free, Madam Shen, don’t worry!” Chen Xuan said with a smile.

”Then, that’s truly wonderful!” Shen Xirou smiled happily, her smile like spring sunshine, making Chen Xuan a little entranced.

He looked back at the troublesome new Empress, and immediately said to Shen Xirou:

”Madam Shen, since today’s treatment is over, why don’t we go for a walk elsewhere? The sun is just right now, and I can also take this opportunity to adjust your Qi.”

”Alright, I was just thinking the same thing.” Shen Xirou nodded with a smile.

Then the two of them walked out of the pavilion together, Chen Xuan leading the way, intending to find a more secluded spot.

”Stop!” Seeing the two of them about to leave, Zhu Zhu, who had been maintaining a cold expression, finally couldn’t hold back.

”Who is this noble person?”

”Who I am is not important, but who are you two? Why are you... being so intimate in this Royal harem?” Zhu Zhu asked curiously.

After all, this is the Royal harem, and theoretically all the women here should belong to the Emperor; this young man courting death is simply... audacious!

Although a new Emperor had ascended and most of the concubines had already left, how could the previous Emperor have left such a stunningly beautiful woman behind?

”Oh! How, how can there be any intimacy? Imperial Physician Chen, this, this is treating my illness!” Shen Xirou’s fair cheeks, which had just returned to normal, turned red again.

Chen Xuan instantly understood her meaning when he heard what Shen Xirou said.

”That’s right, I am Chen Xuan, a doctor from the Tai Hospital, here to treat a patient!”

”Treating? Do you think this Young Miss is blind? Is that how you treat people?!” Zhu Zhu looked at the crystal shoes that had been changed out again, and her face was also a little red.

These shoes were indeed beautiful, but they were also truly...

Their White Tiger Empire was already very innovative in terms of clothing, but in front of such things, they still seemed slightly inferior.

”This Young Miss, you don’t know, Madam Shen’s heart illness is very serious, so I just want to make her happy.”

”This can make her happy?”

”You are not her, how do you know she is not happy?” Chen Xuan said.

”You...!”

Zhu Zhu was left speechless by the exceptionally handsome Imperial Physician Chen in front of her. She glared angrily at Chen Xuan and Shen Xirou, but found that the atmosphere between them was indeed much more relaxed and pleasant than she had imagined.

”Whether what you said is true or not, I think we will meet again in the future.” Zhu Zhu dropped this sentence and left with a cold face.

”Then we’ll talk about it later!” Chen Xuan replied with a smile.

He naturally knew this young new Empress who had publicly embarrassed the new Emperor, it was just that she thought he didn’t recognize her.

And it could be seen from the conversation just now that this Zhu Zhu was quite reasonable, and he could indeed interact more with this beauty in the future.

After leaving, Zhu Zhu returned to her palace and stood in front of the mirror, contemplating something.

”When did I start meddling in other people’s business? Could it be that I’m too bored?” She began to reflect on herself.

Because she really wasn’t such a person on normal days; usually, she would always have a cold face and be unwilling to say another word!

However, after descending to the Lower Realm, not only was the Spiritual Qi not abundant, but there was also some damage after descending, so she couldn’t Cultivate.

Plus, their main objective for this trip, the immortal spirit grass, had not yet matured, which led to both of them being incredibly bored!

Now Dai Dabai had given her something to do, so it was precisely when she was most bored.

”Those shoes are indeed very beautiful...” She murmured again.

...

On Chen Xuan’s side, he hadn’t pulled Shen Xirou along for long before the latter spoke:

”Imperial Physician Chen, your humble concubine has a request, I wonder if I should speak it or not?” Shen Xirou suddenly spoke.

”Madam Shen, please speak freely.”

”It’s like this, since my injuries have stabilized, I want... I want to ask you to take me out for a walk!”

”Go out for a walk?” Chen Xuan was a little surprised; he hadn’t expected Shen Xirou to make this request.

”Yes, your humble concubine has been recuperating in this Imperial Palace, and it has been a long time since I went out to see the scenery outside. And now that the new Emperor has ascended, the people in the Royal harem are all to be replaced, I, I can go out!”

”This...”

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment. He had intended to refuse, but seeing Shen Xirou’s expectant eyes, he simply couldn’t refuse.

”Alright then, I haven’t been to the night market in the capital yet, let’s go together tonight!”

”Night, tonight?”

”There’s no night market until evening, right?” Chen Xuan smiled.

”Alright, as long as, as long as I can go out for a walk, your humble concubine is already very satisfied!”

...

In the evening, Chen Xuan and Shen Xirou left the Royal harem together and arrived at the capital’s night market.

The night market was bustling with various snacks, toys, and acrobatics, dazzling the eyes. Chen Xuan and Shen Xirou strolled through it, like an ordinary couple, leisurely shopping.

”Imperial Physician Chen, look at that mask, isn’t it beautiful?” Shen Xirou suddenly pointed at a mask on a stall and said happily.

It had been over twenty years; this was her first time going out, so she naturally appeared very happy.

Furthermore, she had never visited a night market with any man before, and now with Chen Xuan, she was very pleased.

”Outside, you don’t have to call me Imperial Physician Chen, just call me Chen Xuan!”

”Mm... Chen, Chen Xuan!”

Chen Xuan smiled, turned his head, and saw an exquisite fox mask that was indeed very beautiful. So he bought the mask and personally put it on Shen Xirou.

”So beautiful, Madam Fox.” Chen Xuan praised.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xirou’s face flushed slightly, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

The two continued to stroll through the night market. Chen Xuan noticed that Shen Xirou was exceptionally happy tonight, like an innocent little girl, which was completely different from her usual gentle and dignified demeanor.

As they walked, they came to a stall selling wishing lanterns. Chen Xuan suddenly had a whim, bought two wishing lanterns, and handed one to Shen Xirou.

”Madam Fox, would you like to try making a wish?” Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

”Hmph, I, I’ve already taken off the mask, don’t call me that anymore!”

”Alright, alright, Madam, is that better?”

Shen Xirou’s face turned even redder. She felt that the more she explained, the more disadvantaged she became, so she simply stopped explaining anything.

Then she looked at the wishing lantern in her hand, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, ”Alright, then I’ll make a wish.”
