I’m afraid it was sent by someone with ulterior motives!

Guard You stepped forward and placed a thin silver needle in the teacup and teapot.

After a while, he took it out again, and the silver needle did not change color.

He shook his head to indicate that it was not poisonous, and then stepped aside.

But the emperor still didn't eat.

[You are the more cautious one. Even a turtle can't outlive you.] Su Yun lowered her head and rolled her eyes.

No matter how stupid she is, there is no way she can drug him now.

Eunuch Li only wanted her to appear in front of the emperor first to see if she could get close to the emperor with this appearance before giving her the drug.

General Zhao couldn't help but choked on his saliva.

When it comes to scolding, this girl is the best.

Learned it! "Ahem~" General Zhao patted his chest, his face flushed.

"General Zhao, what's wrong again?" the emperor said coldly.

For some reason, General Zhao was in a state of disarray today and didn't look like a general at all.

General Zhao bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have been feeling a little irritated these days and my throat is uncomfortable."

"Shall I summon the imperial physician to examine General Zhao?" the emperor asked.

This will show that he cares about all officials.

Taiwei Zhao didn't take it seriously. "Thank you, Your Majesty. It's just a small matter. How can you trouble the imperial physician? I'm sorry to make Your Majesty worried."

[Haha, now I realize how hypocritical the emperor is. In the final analysis, he just ignored the common people for the sake of a woman. I used to make excuses for him! ]

After Su Yun finished complaining, she served a cup of chrysanthemum tea to General Zhao and Guan Qing respectively.

Then he retreated to the emperor's side and lowered his head.

[Captain Zhao, this is what real concern means, you know? Not just saying it, but doing it directly.]

When Captain Zhao saw the chrysanthemums in the tea, he was grateful.

He was suddenly enlightened.

Both the emperor and his wives and concubines only talked but never took any actual action.

This is the first time someone cares about him, it's great.

General Zhao drank the chrysanthemum tea happily.

[Drink more. I'll fill it up later if it's not enough. You've been coaxed around by the concubine Liu in the mansion, but you haven't even touched her hand. How pitiful! No wonder you're getting angry.]

"Puff~" All the tea in General Zhao's mouth sprayed out.

His hands holding the teacup were shaking.

How could he be so stupid? He was clearly invincible in the officialdom, but he was coaxed into becoming as dumb as a pig by a woman.

If he hadn't heard this voice, he wouldn't have realized that he had never even touched concubine Liu's hand.

Now that I think about it, every time, concubine Liu was reluctant to accept and always had an excuse to shirk.

Either he has an unusual illness or he has caught a cold.

He was completely bewitched by it and even believed it!

General Zhao was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

The emperor stood up and shouted.

"Guard You, quickly take this maid down."

Guard You held the knife to Su Yun's neck, and with a little more force he could easily cut her neck.

[Okay, okay, very okay. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.]

Su Yun said nothing, but many thoughts had already flashed through her mind.

She had not intended to listen to Eunuch Li at first, so she waited for a day and went to look for Jiang Qingqiu when it got dark.

But this emperor is really not a human being.

He wanted to stab her when they had a disagreement, and she didn't drug him.

"I don't understand what your majesty is saying." Su Yun gritted her teeth.

Commandant Zhao stopped shaking this time and spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, I am fine."

The emperor then realized that he had made a mistake and his face turned black.

"Captain Zhao is fine, why were you shaking so much just now?"

"Just now I suddenly thought of the drought in the north and the floods in the south. The people are living in dire straits, so I became a little emotional." Commandant Zhao changed the subject and talked about natural disasters.

"I beg Your Majesty to withdraw the manpower allocated to the search for Fu Yuan, and instead invest these manpower and financial resources into disaster relief. The people are now living in dire straits. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider." Guan Qing knelt down on the side. This was the tenth time he had said this.

The emperor slammed the table and said, "Pingyang is already dead. If I don't find her child, how can I be worthy of my sister?"

"The matter of disaster relief has been fully handed over to Gu, the Minister of Agriculture. Don't mention it again."

"Your Majesty, is one person more important, or are the people of the world more important? If all this manpower and financial resources were invested in disaster relief, how many people would be spared from death?" Guan Qing disagreed.

He had raised this issue with the emperor many times, but was rejected every time.

Since we haven't found anyone after searching for a year, the possibility of finding him is already very low.

"Who has the final say, Guan Qing or I?" The emperor said with a sullen face.

Could it be that he and Guan Qing were so close that he made her forget the boundary between the monarch and the minister? "Your Majesty, please think twice." Guan Qing repeated, but this time, it would be the last time he said it.

"Get lost! I don't need your instructions." The emperor swept the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Get out of here~"

Su Yun was also thrown out by Guard You.

She patted her sore butt and clenched her fists.

[Dog Emperor. So this is how my great grandfather returned to Qingshan Village in anger. If it were me, I would never return to Beijing again.]

Su Yun remembered that she had once helped the emperor to clear his name, and she couldn't help but want to punch her old self.

She relied too much on the original text at the time, and what she sees now is the truth.

Guan Qing helped Su Yun up. For some reason, he felt very friendly towards this girl.

Great grandfather? Is he that senior? He had been planning to go to Qingshan Village some time ago, but he had never told anyone.

He was injured and could no longer go to the battlefield. What was the point of staying in Beijing? Now he couldn't even say a word. He might as well return to the countryside.

Stop worrying about these things, it shouldn't be his concern.

He has done enough for Daqin...

Su Yun bowed, "I thank General Guan."

"Nothing." Guan Qing waved his hand and turned to leave.

He had lost his faith. He didn't know when the emperor who was devoted to the people had become like this. Taiwei Zhao looked at Su Yun deeply and left.

Eunuch Li asked someone to bring Su Yun back.

He stroked his whisk and said, "I heard that you were thrown out by Guard You?"

"That's true, but it's not because of me."

Eunuch Li nodded, he knew it.

"Tell me, when will you succeed?"

"I have thought of a good way to drug me. If it doesn't work in two days, you can just kill me directly." Su Yun was ready to delay time.

She wanted to wait until dark to find Jiang Qingqiu so that she could leave the surface world.

Of course the medicine was given, let’s not talk about anything else for now, just vent my anger first.

Eunuch Li nodded in satisfaction, "I knew I had made the right choice. Tomorrow, Jin Shangyi will continue to be ill, and you will still be the one to serve His Majesty."

"Jin Shangyi has been ill for two consecutive days. Will the emperor be suspicious?" Su Yun asked.

The Nanny Jin who served her at the time was Jin Shangyi. If she was not someone the emperor trusted, how could he have sent her to keep an eye on her later.

I'm going to take a day off. Please forgive me for updating only once today. I have to go home for something. Sorry, my dears. I will update as usual tomorrow. Happy New Year everyone!
