Chapter 549 - 549: A Promise Can’t Be Taken Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Judge Wu’s suspicious gaze swept over Gu Qingxue, clearly not believing her words.

A king’s words could never be taken back. She, Gu Qingxue, was just a small female doctor. What method could she use to make the emperor retract his orders? n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Qingxue saw that Judge Wu was frowning as he looked at her. It was not hard to guess that Judge Wu did not believe her.

However, Gu Qingxue was not in a hurry, and continued to look at Judge Wu with a smile that wasn’t a smile. “Don’t worry, I really have a way. However, in order to complete my plan, I’ll need your help with a small matter. I wonder if you’re willing to do so?”

Judge Wu saw that Gu Qingxue was full of confidence, and did not know whether he should choose to believe the young girl in front of him.

In the end, Judge Wu still asked the question he wanted to ask, “Why do you believe me?”

“Because after my father died, you were the only one who was willing to help my father find out the truth,” Gu Qingxue said with certainty.

A glint flashed across the judge’s eyes, then he let out a long sigh and nodded, agreeing to Gu Qingxue. “Alright, since you trust me so much, I’ll help you this once. However, you’re Imperial Physician Gu’s daughter after all and I don’t wish for the tragedy from the past to repeat itself. You must ensure your safety, otherwise, I won’t help you.”

Gu Qingxue smiled and nodded. “Of course. Moreover, I won’t just keep myself safe. I’ll also keep you safe.”

Judge Wu indifferently curled the corner of his lips, and immediately stood up from his original position, “Then I’ll count on your blessings. Go back and think of a specific plan. After you’ve thought it through, you can send someone to my house at any time. In order to not let others suspect our relationship, it’s best if you don’t come into contact with me as much as possible.”

After he finished speaking, Judge Wu left the back hall without looking back.

Gu Qingxue looked at Judge Wu’s back as he left, and she could not help but think that Judge Wu was as honest and outspoken as the rumors said. If it was not for the fact that her father had really saved his life back then, this person probably would not even help her.

After burying those thoughts in her heart, Gu Qingxue put away the medicine boxes that she had not given out, then got up and left the back hall, returning to the front hall.

Qin Yun was standing guard outside the back hall. When she saw Gu Qingxue come out, she bowed. “Eldest Miss, are you alright? Judge Wu didn’t make things difficult for you, right?”

Qin Yun’s words instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

When Gu Qingxue saw Imperial Physician Gao, Imperial Physician Jiang, and the others craning their necks to look over, she knew that these people must be very curious about what she and Judge Wu had been talking about.

Thus, Gu Qingxue cleared her throat and put on an impatient expression. “What do you think? I’ve never seen anyone speak so harshly before! Qin Yun, you don’t know this, but after he chased you away, he lectured me for a while. I had a headache just listening to him. Especially, in the end, that b*stard even warned me to be careful of my words and actions so that I wouldn’t follow in my father’s footsteps! This is too much!”

Qin Yun had a straightforward personality. When she saw that the Eldest Miss was being bullied, she looked at Gu Qingxue and asked, “Young Miss, this person is too much of a bully. Why don’t you let me beat him up this time? He’ll be more obedient next time!

Seeing Qin Yun’s serious expression, it was not hard for Gu Qingxue to guess that as long as she nodded, Qin Yun would immediately rush out and beat up Judge Wu to avenge her..
