“Imperial Brother, you…”
“Shut up. I don’t have a brother of your status. Since you’re awake, I’ll leave.” With that, Gu Yu pulled Ning Yue away.
“Wait.” The emperor stopped the two of them. “Your disciple is the daughter of the Zhenbei General, Ning Feng.”
“So what if she is? So what if she’s not?” Gu Yu retorted.
“I once gave an imperial edict to the Zhenbei General’s residence and Prince Jin’s residence. However, Jiang Ying’s health wasn’t good and that edict hasn’t been carried out yet.”
“Since she’s your disciple, she should have received your teachings. Isn’t it just right for her to marry into Prince Jin’s residence?” the emperor asked.
Gu Yu jumped to the emperor’s side in anger. He pulled the emperor’s hair and cursed, “If you dare to have any designs on my disciple again, I’ll poison you to death with a packet of medicinal powder!”
Just as Gu Yu was thinking about what poison to use, he suddenly stopped tugging at the emperor’s hair. He looked at Ning Yue, then at the emperor.
It seemed that there was an unclear connection between his little disciple and Jiang Ying. Moreover, those two children were Jiang Ying’s. He couldn’t decide for Ning Yue on his own.
“Imperial Brother, how do you know that these two are not interested in each other?” The emperor asked.
“I’ll spit in your face. What has it got to do with you whether these two are interesting or not? You must be too free. The emperor doesn’t want to be the matchmaker.”
“Don’t even think about it. Let me tell you, as long as I’m alive, no one can force Ning Yue! Not even you. I’ll cut off your imperial edict later.”
The emperor looked at Gu Yu speechlessly. Every time his brother saw him, he would pull his hair and curse at him. As the emperor, he had no authority at all.
But so what? That was his biological brother. He couldn’t kill him without any prestige, right?
“Imperial Brother, calm down. How is my health now?” The emperor finally changed the topic.
When Ning Yue heard this, she came back to her senses. Most of the poison in the emperor’s body had been cleared, leaving only a small portion. This was not a big problem for Gu Yu.
“What exactly is wrong with you? How could you eat my poison?” Gu Yu asked angrily.
“I’ve been keeping the packet of poison you gave me. I didn’t touch it at all. Apart from me, no one else knows about this. I was poisoned after drinking the tea sent over by the empress.”
“Alright, that’s your family matter. I can’t be bothered to say anything more to you. There’s no antidote for that thing. I helped you get the poison out just now, but there’s still some poison in your body that hasn’t been cleaned up. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you. You can handle the rest yourself.” With that, Gu Yu pulled Ning Yue out.
When she walked out of the bedroom, Ning Yue realized that another woman in a phoenix robe had arrived. This person should be the Empress Dowager.
“Miracle Doctor, you’re here.” The Empress Dowager greeted Gu Yu with a smile.
After greeting Gu Yu, the Empress Dowager’s gaze fell on Ning Yue. Ning Yue greeted the Empress Dowager. No matter what her status was, the Empress Dowager was still an elder. It was only right for her to bow to an elder.
The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction. She took off a token and placed it in Ning Yue’s hand.
The Empress Dowager knew that Ning Yue’s two children were her great-grandchildren. This token was just a very small gift, but she couldn’t tell Ning Yue directly.
“I liked you very much the moment I saw you. Take this token. If I think of you, I’ll invite you to come in anytime.”
Ning Yue was stunned. The use of this token sounded very important. She didn’t know whether to accept it or reject it.
Gu Yu didn’t stop her. He turned to Jiang Ying and said, “Let’s go. The emperor’s poison has been cured. All that’s left is to take some medicine.”
Gu Yu didn’t care what effect his words would have. He pulled Ning Yue out.
When the Empress Dowager heard Gu Yu’s words, she frowned and turned to look at the Empress. “Why was the Emperor poisoned?”
The empress was shocked. “Mother, I don’t know. Didn’t the emperor fall unconscious because he was ill?”
She was also very puzzled. He was clearly just sick. Why had he been poisoned by Gu Yu? When had he been poisoned?
