"Your Highness, Master Qi..." The imperial physician knelt on the ground, his voice terrified, "Master Qi might have been infected with a cold poison!"

Cold poison is extremely cold, colorless and tasteless, but it is the most poisonous thing in the world.

It is three times stronger than pigeon wine.

The man's handsome face was pale and miserable, lying quietly on the bed, without a trace of blood.

"Why don't you treat him quickly?" Pan Shu frowned. "No matter what method you use, Qi Yu must not die."

The imperial physician's frail body trembled even more.

"Originally, there is a way, but when I took your pulse just now... I discovered that Master Qi is over a month pregnant. If I force the detoxification, I'm afraid I won't be able to save the child!"

Jiang Zhan's fingertips trembled and he looked at Qi Yu in disbelief.

He pinched his palm tightly in the longer sleeve, and the subtle pain made his face turn pale.

Pan Shu was also stunned for a moment.

Pan Shu ordered Lan Yu to go to the palace to call Zhang, the head of the Imperial Hospital.

The dim sunlight is gentle and not dazzling, but when it shines on the skin, it feels like a burning pain.

"...Your Highness." Jiang Zhan rubbed his fingertips and called her hesitantly.

Pan Shu looked back at him indifferently, "You go back first. It's better not to be the one who caused Qi Yu's incident."

This was the first time she showed such a cold and distant attitude towards him.

Jiang Zhan pursed his lips awkwardly.

He stared blankly at the girl's thin back, blinked, and curled his lips in a somewhat aggrieved manner.

He poisoned it.

But he wasn't the one who gave the cold poison.

He just wanted Qi Yu to suffer a little.

No wonder he is.

The young man covered his heart blankly and lowered his eyelashes softly, "Your Highness, Ziqian is a good boy. Ziqian will not hurt anyone."

In March, the weather gradually becomes warmer.

Qi Yu's limbs were cold. He moved his dry lips, and his pale thumb, with distinct joints, fell tremblingly on his slightly bulging belly.

There were traces of moisture at the corners of his eyes.

"Tianzhu, tell me, did I do something wrong?" He looked at the roof with empty and dull eyes. The child's arrival was too unexpected and too inappropriate for him.

But this is his and His Highness's first child.

As spring approached, the thin layer of frost and snow covering the green streets began to melt, and the ground became wet. The wheels of cars passed over it, bringing up mud all over the ground.

Pan Shu opened the sedan chair and looked at the word "Gu" written in a flamboyant style on the plaque.

The gatekeeper recognized Panshu's face and didn't dare to stop her.

Gu Chi sat in the main hall, slowly teasing the little red snake in the porcelain jar. The snake's body was covered with red and green stripes, and the color was bright and beautiful, but the snake's tongue was black and sticky like ink, which made people inexplicably frightened.

Pan Shu stood there for a long time. After a long while, Gu Chi raised his lips with a smile and glanced at Pan Shu with respect.

"Your Highness has come to visit us. What is the purpose of this visit?"

Pan Shu's eyes lightly swept over the red snake in the porcelain jar, "Qi Yu has been poisoned by a cold. Doctor Zhang said that there is a red snake in this world that has a very hot and fierce nature and is the nemesis of cold poison."

Gu Chi paused for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled faintly.

"This little snake is half my life. Your Highness, just take it if you say so?" Gu Chi smiled faintly, "Qi Yu's life is not as precious as my little snake."

"Make an offer."

Pan Shu sat down opposite Gu Chi.

Her pretty, white fingertips tapped the table absentmindedly.

It makes a slight thumping sound.

The little snake was sticking out its tongue, and its pair of unfathomable vertical pupils were no different from those of its owner.

After a moment, Gu Chi slowly pushed the porcelain jar to Pan Shu's hand and said with a smile, "I want the jurisdiction of Yongzhou."

Pan Shu frowned slightly.

Yongzhou was the original body's fiefdom.

The empress favored the original body, and even his fiefdom was a rich and fertile land of mountains and rivers. Yongzhou was not only prosperous in business, but also had an extremely important geographical location.

It can be said that if you want to go to the Imperial City of Shengyuan, you absolutely cannot avoid Yongzhou.

"You have a big appetite." Pan Shu glanced at him calmly, "At most half."

Gu Chi pondered for a moment.

Just when Ban Shu's patience was exhausted, Gu Chi reluctantly nodded slightly, with the corner of his thin red lips curled up in a triumphant smile like an old fox.

Pan Shu naturally knew Gu Chi's purpose.

Yongzhou was only part of his plan.

On her—

Gu Chi must have something else to plan for.

Let her guess.

It's nothing more than the military token and her royal status.

Gu Chi wanted to start an uprising. If he didn't want to be charged with treason, he could drag a member of the royal family out to take the blame, and his act of seizing power would seem much more reasonable.

For example, establishing a puppet emperor.

After thinking about it, an unfathomable smile appeared on Panshu's face.

"Thank you, Lord Gu, for the red snake. Not to mention Yongzhou, even if Lord Gu wanted the entire Shengyuan, I would not refuse. After all, Qi Yu's life is much more important than these things."

The shy smile on the girl's face revealed her feelings for Qi Yu.

Gu Chi frowned strangely.

This was part of his plan.

But I don't know why.

But I felt a little uncomfortable.

Did Qi Yu already hold such an important position in this playboy's heart? How long had it been...?

He stopped thinking about it, subconsciously ignoring the swell of emotion brewing in his heart. He stood up and looked down at Pan Shu. "So, I was thinking of going to visit Master Qi. Your Highness, could you please make it convenient for me?"

"Of course, let's go together."

The carriage that Pan Shu got in was not big, and now with a tall and long-legged man like Gu Chi, it seemed a bit crowded.

The slightly crowded sedan was filled with the sweet fragrance of the young girl.

Mixed with a hint of coldness.
