Gu Yunsheng sniffed the medicinal scent and quickly figured out what the prescriptions were.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she curled the corners of her mouth and a sneer flashed across her eyes.
"This humble girl pays homage to His Majesty."
Gu Yunsheng bowed her head and saluted.
"Excuse me, Miss Gu. I remember telling you not to cast a spell on me!"
The old emperor took the initiative to question, staring at Gu Yunsheng with his eyelids drooping.
"Your Majesty, I have indeed not cast a spell on you!
I can swear! And I don’t know why the events of that day were turned upside down.
I suspect that Prince Kang may have known Prince Duan's plan in advance and bribed the servant who poisoned Your Majesty!"
As Gu Yunsheng spoke, he became filled with indignation.
The old emperor didn't say anything, but just squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Yunsheng, wanting to see whether she was really unaware or just pretending to be unaware!
After all, Gu Yunsheng lives in Prince Kang’s mansion and is the most likely person to tell Prince Duan’s plan, or even his own plan, to Prince Kang!
The oppressive feeling brought by the old emperor's long-term high position made Gu Yunsheng bend over slightly, and even beads of sweat appeared on her white forehead.
Noticing this, the old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.
The atmosphere in the inner hall became a little solemn because of the old emperor's silence and pressure.
Eunuch Fuquan stood aside, watching the situation and trying to reduce his presence.
After a while, the old emperor finally spoke.
"Oh? Then how did Prince Kang know Prince Duan's plan?"
“Your Majesty, this…I am not aware of it.
But I guess that perhaps Prince Kang had planted spies in Prince Duan's mansion, and maybe what Prince Duan and I said that day had already been known to Prince Kang.
Otherwise, this matter cannot be explained, but this is just my guess.
Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question: How do you wish to deal with Prince Duan?
Now that things have come to this, I don’t know how I can take revenge on King Kang.
Please, Your Majesty, give me some guidance! I will be grateful to you forever!"
Gu Yunsheng said this and bowed respectfully to the old emperor again.
“Well, Miss Gu’s guess may be correct.
As for Prince Duan, not only did he have someone poison me, he also wanted you, Miss Gu, to put a curse on me as well.
It is a foregone conclusion that he intends to murder me.
As for how to deal with him... everything requires evidence, I have already sent people to interrogate him.
Once he admits that he really has the intention to murder me, I will naturally not let him off easily! "
The old emperor paused here and took a deep breath.
After he said this, his body could no longer bear it and he began to sweat.
Eunuch Fuquan was very tactful and took the initiative to wipe the sweat off the old emperor's face with the corner of his handkerchief.
The old emperor quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out the pills and swallowed them.
After a while, the old emperor became more alert and continued.
“Miss Gu, as for what you said about wanting to take revenge on King Kang.
This matter couldn't be simpler.
You live in Prince Kang's mansion, so you should know that Prince Kang's favorite is his youngest daughter.
Miss Gu only needs to poison the child. Whether the poison makes the child crazy, sleepy, or sick all the time, isn't it all revenge on King Kang?"
The old emperor spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about an insignificant little insect.
Gu Yunsheng lowered her head with her pupils constricted, trying hard to calm down.
She raised her head slightly, biting her lips with her pearly teeth and looking at the old emperor with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but isn't Prince Kang's legitimate daughter your favorite granddaughter?
She, she is still a child, a commoner girl, she only has a grudge against King Kang, not against her... "
Upon hearing this, the suspicion in the old emperor's eyes faded a little.
“Indeed, you have no grudge against the child, but you do have a grudge against her father.
Of course, I'm just making a suggestion. It's up to you to decide whether you want to do it or not.
As for King Kang's life, you cannot take it away for the time being. I still have use for him."
Gu Yunsheng became visibly troubled upon hearing this.
"You don't have to make a decision in a hurry, think about it carefully.
As long as you feel you have done your best for your deceased mother."
The old emperor's two light words made Gu Yunsheng bite her lips even harder.
"Your Majesty, I...I need to think about it carefully.
I have another unwelcome request. Can I see Prince Duan again?
Prince Duan probably suspected that the commoner woman had conspired with Prince Kang to plot against him.
He didn't even know that I already knew that he was my enemy.
Since he's almost dead, I want to give him a good beating, which will be considered revenge for my mother!"
"Yes, I agree."
The old emperor agreed readily.
He knew what happened between Prince Duan and Gu Yunsheng's biological mother.
He also knew that when Prince Duan saw Gu Yunsheng again, he would definitely tell her about her life story.
But so what?
He didn't think that Gu Yunsheng would use witchcraft to rescue Prince Duan because of her background!
Prince Duan...is already a useless chess piece.
Now only King Jing, King Kang and King An are left.
The old emperor rubbed the ring on his thumb, "An Yi."
"I'm here."
An Yi landed silently in front of the old emperor.
"Go keep an eye on Gu Yunsheng and write down her conversation with Prince Duan and report back to me."
"yes."
An Yi agreed and was about to leave.
