49 Times Left, Master! (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 248
The Emperor, who had been sitting perfectly fine at his desk, had collapsed sideways. I set my teacup aside and hurried toward him.
“Your Majesty! Are you all right? Your Majesty!”
Eunuch Song rushed forward a step ahead of me, supporting the Emperor and shouting loudly.
Hearing the cries of “Your Majesty! Your Majesty!” the door immediately burst open, and the palace guards rushed in.
Their eyes darted between the fallen Emperor, Eunuch Song holding him, and me standing alone not far away.
“His Majesty has collapsed! His Majesty has been poisoned! Bring the royal physician at once and summon Her Majesty the Empress!”
At Eunuch Song’s urgent shout, half the guards ran back out. The other half, however, stayed and approached Eunuch Song to examine the Emperor.
I could do nothing but stand there helplessly and watch events unfold. What on earth was happening?
“Eunuch. Is His Majesty in very poor condition?”
Amid the commotion, I quietly asked Eunuch Song. But he only gave me a silent “shh” gesture and offered no real answer.
I still wanted to ask more, but soldiers entered and took Eunuch Song and me to separate rooms.
“Where are we going?”
I asked as I followed the soldiers, but no one answered. They walked silently until they opened the door to an empty room.
“Please go inside and wait.”
“Where is this?”

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
