A capsule suddenly appeared in Gu Jiangli's hand.

This was bought for her by Zizai.

"Thank you, Zai Zai."

【Darling, don't be so polite. I'm so glad you asked me for help. Do you need me to remind you who attacked the Emperor?】

"who?"

[Far away, yet right before my eyes!]

Gu Jiangli opened his eyes, his cold gaze falling directly on the Empress who was still weeping.

She was surrounded by the harsh criticisms of the imperial physicians.

"Oh, Consort Gu, please don't move His Majesty's body right now! He can't afford to catch a chill!"

"His Majesty is currently suffering from severe poisoning. Every time we don't touch him, the poison in his body spreads even faster!"

"We know you are worried about His Majesty's health, but His Majesty's health is precious and cannot be allowed to be so fussy!"

The successive accountability measures taken by several imperial physicians added a touch of worry to the Empress Dowager's face.

Gu Jiangli rolled her eyes at them.

Without saying a word, she pried open the emperor's mouth and fed him the capsule right in front of them!

"Consort Gu, what did you feed His Majesty?!" a royal physician exclaimed.

Gu Jiangli ignored him and whispered in His Majesty's ear:

"Your Majesty, swallow it. Li'er will not harm you."

While the emperor was in a deep sleep, he seemed to hear Gu Jiangli's whispers.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed the capsule.

Gu Jiangli felt much more at ease.

The Empress was horrified and immediately cried out, "Guards! Take Consort Gu away! She has probably gone mad because of His Majesty! We must not let her harm His Majesty again!"

Several guards rushed in.

Gu Jiangli's eyes were perfectly clear, and he showed no fear whatsoever.

"Why is Your Majesty in such a hurry?" She stood up from the bed. "You're not in a hurry to investigate who poisoned His Majesty and injured him like this, but you're in a hurry to punish me? Besides, the Empress Dowager is still here."

"This palace..." The Empress was speechless for a moment, and her slightly probing gaze turned to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was also full of doubt, but she did not reprimand Gu Jiangli.

"Good child, the Emperor likes you so much, and I believe you are a person of great loyalty and righteousness; you would never harm His Majesty..."

Gu Jiangli felt a warmth in her heart.

In this harem, besides the emperor and Hehua, the empress dowager was also a very kind person to her.

"Thank you for your trust, Empress Dowager. As you said, I will certainly not harm His Majesty."

After Gu Jiangli finished speaking, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly walked towards the guards who were standing to the side.

Before anyone could react in time, Gu Jiangli swiftly drew the guard's knife and rushed toward the emperor lying on the bed.

With a swift stroke, a large wound appeared on the emperor's arm.

Blood gushed from the wound, startling several imperial physicians who collapsed to the ground. The Empress Dowager turned pale and nearly fainted.

The guards rushed up and grabbed Gu Jiangli by the hands.

The Empress cried out in surprise, "How dare you, Consort Gu! How could you harm the Emperor's body!"
