He took a breath and said, "Yan Li, I leave this matter to you. You must entertain the prince well and report his movements in detail."
Xiao Yanli had never expected this to happen to him. He pursed his lips slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."
"Go ahead."
Xiao Yanli stood up, lifted the curtain and was about to leave when he suddenly looked back and saw his father leaning close to Jiang Zhiyu's ear, saying something.
Xiao Yanli was horrified, but he didn't dare to delay and walked out of the imperial study quickly.
He didn't stop until he had walked dozens of meters, thinking about what he had seen.
The emperor always cherished talented people. Jiang Zhiyu was a skilled doctor and had solved the Malzahar case, so it was not surprising that she was made a female official. However...
Xiao Yanli recalled the scene in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Could it be...
His face changed and he felt that he had discovered a huge secret.
Jiang Zhiyu had no idea that her relationship with the emperor was purely that of a superior and a subordinate, yet Xiao Yanli made such speculations.
As she listened to the emperor's description of his illness, her expression changed. She turned her head to look at Fuping and said, "Eunuch Fuping, can you please move?"
Fuping was stunned and looked at the emperor.
After all, I have been by the emperor's side for so many years, there is nothing I can't listen to!
The emperor's heart skipped a beat when he saw Jiang Zhiyu's expression. He shouted, "Get down now!"
Fuping quickly flicked his whisk and retreated quickly.
"I'm poisoned?"
The emperor's eyes were grim and murderous.
Jiang Zhiyu shook his head: "It's not poison, but it's more terrifying than poison."
The emperor's heart sank. It was something more terrifying than poison. Could it be—"Gu?!"
"The pill that will end the lineage and extinction of descendants."
The emperor spoke in unison with her. After hearing what Qingjiang Zhiyu said, the emperor's expression went blank for a moment.
emperor:"???"
"What kind of Gu?" Jiang Zhiyu blinked.
[Is there anyone in Shengjing who can use Gu? ]
The emperor was speechless for a moment. "Nothing, but when you said it wasn't poison, I thought of Gu."
Jiang Zhiyu said, "Oh!" "Your Majesty, please undress. I need to perform acupuncture to determine the extent of the medicine."
The emperor hesitated.
Jiang Zhiyu also knew that emperors are naturally suspicious, so he said considerately, "Your Majesty, you can ask the other imperial physicians to observe me. If I do anything, they will be able to see it."
[I'm such a sweet and caring person, I'm sure he'll be fascinated by me!]
The emperor blushed and stammered, "That's not what I meant. It's just that this acupuncture spot, you are a girl..."
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[Goodness, this old lady is really crawling into bed—it made me laugh.]
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's just a piercing of the back."
emperor:"……"
After he had undressed, Jiang Zhiyu unfolded the deerskin roll and took out the needle.
After acupuncture was performed on several of his acupuncture points, the emperor felt comfortable at first, and then he felt all the blood in his body rushing down to his body!
The emperor immediately remembered what Jiang Zhiyu said about "blocking it."
No way, is she serious?
The emperor frowned slightly. If she really came to threaten him...
He was just thinking about it when he heard Jiang Zhiyu say, "Your Majesty, it has been cleared. Fortunately, you don't eat much, so it hasn't affected your function yet. Your Majesty, please be careful about what you eat these days. Before eating, you must have the imperial physician check it carefully."
Emperor: “…Okay.”
What a good child! How could I have such thoughts!
The emperor felt a surge of guilt and said considerately, "The weather has been getting colder these past few days. From now on, you can come if you want to, and not come if you don't want to. I grant you this privilege, but there's only one thing: when I send someone to call you, you must come. Is that clear?"
Jiang Zhiyu didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. Before she could stop him, the emperor spoke first and said immediately, "I understand."
[Just now I was thinking of blocking the emperor and threatening him, but I didn't expect him to be so considerate. He really is... I'm crying!]
If this gets blocked, I'll sit up in the middle of the night and slap myself!
emperor:"……"
His guilt disappeared in an instant.
It turns out I just didn’t make it in time, damn it!
Could he take that back now?
He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhiyu humming a song while packing up the needles. He sighed softly and thought, "It's nothing. She's still just a child."
The child’s nature is understandable!
He was getting dressed when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh right, Anle Marquis Mansion..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Ping suddenly rushed in. When he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground. Behind him, a woman also ran in hurriedly. It was the wife of Marquis Anle - Han Yanning.
She stood there with her mouth slightly open, staring at the scene in the hall.
No wonder, no wonder the emperor favored Jiang Zhiyu in every way, it turned out that he had such thoughts!
Jiang Zhiyu knew they had misunderstood as soon as she saw their expressions. She shook the deerskin roll, trying to let them see the needles stuck in it.
[You should be able to see clearly, right? If you use your brain, you can figure out that I was doing acupuncture.]
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and shouted coldly, "What do you think of my imperial study?! You just barge in without even telling anyone!"
Fu Ping begged for mercy again and again. If he had known that the emperor wanted him to go out for this purpose, he would not have dared to agree to let the wife of Marquis Anle pass the message on her behalf even if he had the guts to do so.
And the wife of Marquis Anle, how dare she follow me in?
Fu Ping took a deep breath, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes. "Your Majesty, seeing that the wife of the Marquis of Anle was in a hurry, I thought it was something serious. I was worried about delays, so I told her to wait for me to pass on the message. I never thought that the wife of the Marquis of Anle would barge in like this."
Han Yanning finally knelt down after hearing him talk about herself, crying, "Your Majesty, I just heard today that my brother's house was on fire, and no one in the entire mansion escaped. Your Majesty, although my brother deserved to die, his wife and children are innocent! The fire was so fierce, I suspect someone must have been behind it. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me, identify the murderer, and give them justice!"
She was in tears, but the emperor's face was terribly gloomy.
His belt was not tied back yet, and his dragon robe hung loosely, giving him a sense of unrestrained and romanticism.
"I had already sent the Imperial Guards to investigate on the day of the fire. It was all the fault of the servants in the mansion who were careless and fell asleep while guarding the ancestral hall. It was not caused by anyone."
Han Yanning didn't believe a word of it. Her eyes were red and swollen, her lips were chapped, and she looked pitiful. "Your Majesty, even if the guards of the ancestral hall dozed off, how could the servants in the mansion not have seen anything when the ancestral hall started burning?"
The emperor was furious and looked at her with a cold expression, "Then do you have any clues to prove that the fire in Han Yizhi's house was caused by human error?"
