When Yue Mingxuan heard this, he smiled faintly and replied, "A sickness of the heart requires a cure of the heart. Mingxuan's knowledge is shallow, and he does not know what sort of 'heart medicine' could heal Your Highness's condition. Your Highness would do better to seek someone more capable."
Seeing that Yue Mingxuan had made it clear he had no intention of wading into this muddy water, Imperial Consort Hua did not grow angry. She merely said, "One may have no intention of harming a tiger, yet the tiger may still harbor the intent to harm. I'm just acting for the sake of self preservation."
Yue Mingxuan took a step back and said earnestly, "With Your Highness's current standing and abilities, it would not be easy for anyone to harm you."
He was a doctor, not a strategist, this distinction he understood very clearly.
With that, he rose to his feet, preparing to leave this den of trouble, but Imperial Consort Hua stopped him.
