âImperial Brother, youâ¦â
âShut up. I donât have a brother of your status. Since youâre awake, Iâll leave.â With that, Gu Yu pulled Ning Yue away.
âWait.â The emperor stopped the two of them. âYour disciple is the daughter of the Zhenbei General, Ning Feng.â
âSo what if she is? So what if sheâs not?â Gu Yu retorted.
âI once gave an imperial edict to the Zhenbei Generalâs residence and Prince Jinâs residence. However, Jiang Yingâs health wasnât good and that edict hasnât been carried out yet.â
âSince sheâs your disciple, she should have received your teachings. Isnât it just right for her to marry into Prince Jinâs residence?â the emperor asked.
Gu Yu jumped to the emperorâs side in anger. He pulled the emperorâs hair and cursed, âIf you dare to have any designs on my disciple again, Iâll poison you to death with a packet of medicinal powder!â
Just as Gu Yu was thinking about what poison to use, he suddenly stopped tugging at the emperorâs 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 Yingâs. He couldnât decide for Ning Yue on his own.
âImperial Brother, how do you know that these two are not interested in each other?â The emperor asked.
âIâll 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 doesnât want to be the matchmaker.â
âDonât even think about it. Let me tell you, as long as Iâm alive, no one can force Ning Yue! Not even you. Iâll cut off your imperial edict later.â
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 couldnât kill him without any prestige, right?
âImperial Brother, calm down. How is my health now?â The emperor finally changed the topic.
When Ning Yue heard this, she came back to her senses. Most of the poison in the emperorâs body had been cleared, leaving only a small portion. This was not a big problem for Gu Yu.
âWhat exactly is wrong with you? How could you eat my poison?â Gu Yu asked angrily.
âIâve been keeping the packet of poison you gave me. I didnât 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.â
âAlright, thatâs your family matter. I canât be bothered to say anything more to you. Thereâs no antidote for that thing. I helped you get the poison out just now, but thereâs still some poison in your body that hasnât been cleaned up. Iâll prescribe some medicine for you. You can handle the rest yourself.â 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.
âMiracle Doctor, youâre here.â The Empress Dowager greeted Gu Yu with a smile.
After greeting Gu Yu, the Empress Dowagerâs 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 Yueâs hand.
The Empress Dowager knew that Ning Yueâs two children were her great-grandchildren. This token was just a very small gift, but she couldnât tell Ning Yue directly.
âI liked you very much the moment I saw you. Take this token. If I think of you, Iâll invite you to come in anytime.â
Ning Yue was stunned. The use of this token sounded very important. She didnât know whether to accept it or reject it.
Gu Yu didnât stop her. He turned to Jiang Ying and said, âLetâs go. The emperorâs poison has been cured. All thatâs left is to take some medicine.â
Gu Yu didnât care what effect his words would have. He pulled Ning Yue out.
When the Empress Dowager heard Gu Yuâs words, she frowned and turned to look at the Empress. âWhy was the Emperor poisoned?â
The empress was shocked. âMother, I donât know. Didnât the emperor fall unconscious because he was ill?â
She was also very puzzled. He was clearly just sick. Why had he been poisoned by Gu Yu? When had he been poisoned?
