He just went and killed someone.

This is the conclusion Gu Jiangli reached.

And it's very likely that he did it himself.

She didn't ask, but she gripped his hand a little tighter.

As soon as the emperor entered the room, he saw that there were two more people inside.

"Imperial Physician Lü has arrived." He greeted him in a calm tone, his composure making it impossible to tell that he had just killed someone with his own hands.

Physician Lü rose and bowed.

Just like before, Dr. Wu was introduced to the emperor once again.

"I am grateful to Physician Lü for going to great lengths to find a doctor with outstanding medical skills to treat me."

"It is my duty." Physician Lü's expression was somewhat strange, as if he had noticed the emperor's unusual demeanor today, but he still hurriedly said, "Why don't we have Physician Wu examine His Majesty's pulse first?"

The emperor sat down at the table and offered his hand for Dr. Wu to take his pulse.

Gu Jiangli watched from the side, remaining silent the entire time.

His initiative to offer medical treatment to others was truly astonishing.

It was as if he had a stronger desire to live than before.

After taking the emperor's pulse briefly, Doctor Wu did not explain the details of the illness to him, only saying that he would prescribe medicine again later.

Physician Lü and he discussed the matter as they left Jinghe Palace.

Gu Jiangli's gaze remained fixed on the pale red mark on the back of the emperor's hand.

The emperor noticed her gaze and hid his hands.

"Judging from the expressions of Physician Lü and Doctor Wu, it seems that my illness has indeed taken a turn for the better."

Gu Jiangli completely ignored the emperor's words. After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke:

"Whom did His Majesty kill? The Prime Minister or the Eldest Princess?"
