Chapter 55: Always Be With Me
Yihua Palace.
Shen Zhaoyi leaned on the couch, flipping through the book in her hand. Jiang Ronghua said indignantly, "Sister, you heard it too. The people in the Zhuoyu Palace are too presumptuous. They even dared to steal your nourishing stew."
The palace maid brought tea, and Shen Zhaoyi put down her book and looked up: "It was just a misunderstanding. Zi Su didn't see Yin Die, so she thought the stew was for Zhuo Yu Palace."
Jiang Ronghua was quite disappointed: "Sister, you are just too kind-hearted. Even if you didn't see it, the blood swallow is not something that a concubine can use."
"Yu Jieyu is favored, and His Majesty has given her many gifts such as blood swallows. There is nothing she cannot use."
"Sister, just speak up for her!" Jiang Ronghua was very unhappy. "I don't know what kind of drug Yu Jieyu gave you. You always speak on her side because she was almost trampled to death by a horse's hoof. What happened?"
"No one comes to see you, so they send you some gifts just to make it look like everyone has these things!"
"Alright, alright." Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Shen Zhaoyi quickly stood up and pulled her to sit on the couch, "Sister, calm down too."
"Yu Jieyu has been accompanying the emperor recently, so it's normal that she can't take care of other things. Why do you always target her like this?"
Jiang Ronghua's eyebrows almost stood up. "When did I target her? I was just speaking up for my sister."
Shen Zhaoyi's injuries hadn't fully healed yet, and she struggled to move. "You're just too impatient. Concubine Yu is in the emperor's favor, and you always say bad things about her. Isn't that giving others something to hold against her?"
"Besides, Concubine Yu has never offended you. If you get along better with her, His Majesty will look upon you with more respect, right?"
"I don't care..." Jiang Ronghua muttered softly.
Her father and brother are capable, and she can live a good life in the palace whether she favors them or not.
What worries her most is Shen Zhaoyi, who always acts like a pushover, but never gets rewarded for her good intentions.

Linde Hall.
Le Yue is giving acupuncture to He Yanchen.
"Your Majesty's condition has improved a lot recently. The poisonous insects in your body have been suppressed and will not recur in the near future."
He Yanchen leaned back on the soft pillow with his eyes slightly closed. Upon hearing this, he simply said calmly, "The Saint's medical skills are truly impressive."
Le Yue was a little shy: "It is also because of the great medical skills of Dean Xiao that this acupuncture method has been greatly improved."
"Suppressing the Gu worms is like drinking poison to quench thirst, and it's not a long-term solution. Le Yue has studied the annals and has found a way to lure out the Gu worms."
Everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide instantly, especially Judge Xiao, who asked anxiously, "What method does the Saint have?"
He searched through all the books and records but could not find a way to eradicate the poison. However, he never thought that the saint already had a solution.
"The Red Blood Gu is bloodthirsty and will eat the blood in the body. If you want to lure it out, you can cultivate a Gu worm that counteracts it and let them kill each other."
Judge Xiao frowned: "Is this method really reliable?"
Le Yue smiled bitterly: "This method has certain risks. If the two insects fail to kill each other and instead remain in the body, then..."
Everyone present could understand her unspoken intention, but the poison was insidious, and the only way to completely eradicate it was to fight hard.
Ji Ming was very worried: "Is there really no other reliable method?"
Chu Yi also said: "Your Majesty, please think twice."
He Yanchen was silent for a long while before he said calmly, "Everyone go down first."
"yes."
Before Le Yue went out, she looked back at the man.
He was the most handsome man she had ever seen, unlike those burly men in Xijue who only knew how to use brute force and had no manners.
She was able to help him remove the poison and knew his secrets, which even the favored Concubine Yu could not do. She was the woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Whether because of his identity or because of this person, she wanted to stay, stay in Zhaoguo.
Le Yue pursed her lips, feeling quite delicate.
When they came out, Yueli happened to come to Linde Hall.
After what happened that night, the people in the imperial court respected her very much, especially Ji Ming and Chu Yi, who wanted to worship her.
Ji Ming flattered, "Your servant pays respects to Concubine Yu. His Majesty is waiting for you."
Yueli nodded slightly, took the food box from Lianqiao and was about to go in, but Le Yue stopped her unexpectedly:
"I wonder what Concubine Yu brought with her?"
Yue Li was stunned, but Le Yue smiled and said, "Please forgive me, Concubine Yu. Your Majesty has many things that are not suitable for consumption right now. Le Yue is also worried that the things Concubine Yu brought will counteract the medicine Your Majesty is taking, and instead harm the dragon's body."
Although she looked very humble, Yueli just felt uncomfortable.
She said coldly, "It's just a bowl of pear soup."
"Snow pear clears away heat and relieves summer heat, so it's really suitable for consumption recently." Le Yue smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Le Yue, for talking too much. Please come in, Concubine Yu."
Yueli finally couldn't help but harbor some malice in her heart, and said coldly, "It's no use for a dog to catch a rat."
She turned her head and walked straight past a few people into the hall.
Le Yue didn't care that she was so uneducated and actually spoke like that in public, and she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Ji Ming chuckled and tried to smooth things over: "Yu Jieyu has been spoiled by His Majesty. Saint, please don't take it to heart. You should quickly think of a way to remove the poison from His Majesty's body."
Le Yue took a deep breath and forced the corner of his lip: "What the father-in-law said is true."
Inside the hall.
Yueli walked in and bowed from a distance beside the couch, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
He Yanchen heard her voice and stretched out his hand towards her: "Why are you so far away?"
"I came out in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to dress up."
Yueli came forward slowly, shyly turning her head away, not wanting to be seen by him. He Yanchen pulled her into his arms, pinching her chin and taking a closer look. Her fair and tender face, though unmade up, was still as beautiful as a peach or plum. However, Yueli usually loved beauty and always dressed herself up to outshine all the other beauties.
"Are you in such a hurry to come see me?"
Yue Li hummed softly and snuggled into his arms: "Your Majesty, you know the answer but still ask. I am worried about your health and it makes me feel uncomfortable when I don't see you for a while."
"When will Your Majesty be well?"
"You really want me to get better?" He Yanchen took her jade-like hand and played with it in his palm. He couldn't bear to see her worry. "Le Yue has already figured out a way to get rid of the poison."
"Really?" Yue Li was so excited that she even forgot her intention to complain.
"Really." The man was not as excited as she was, and could even be described as very calm.
He asked her again: "Jiaojiao, do you really want me to get better?"
"Of course!" Yueli hugged his neck excitedly, "Your Majesty, may you live forever. Once Your Majesty is well, you can always be with me. I want to be with Your Majesty forever."
The joy in her eyes was about to overflow, and such strong emotions made He Yanchen a little at a loss for a moment.
During the three years since he was poisoned, he had long lost hope.
After knowing that it was the work of the late emperor, he didn't know what was worth remembering in this world. Even his biological parents didn't want him to be alive, so who else would want him to be alive?
He even wanted everyone to die with him.
But looking at Yueli in his arms, He Yanchen felt a sense of joy that he had not felt for a long time.
It seems that being alive is not bad. After all, if he dies, what will happen to Yueli?
She is so pampered and has such a bad temper. Who else can tolerate her except me?
It’s better not to let her harm others.
She was like a dodder, tightly wrapped around the big tree of him, living and dying for him.
He Yanchen's mood improved. He saw the faint tooth mark on Yueli's neck, which he left when he had an attack last time.
He Yanchen lowered his head and kissed her neck, licking it gently: "Jiaojiao, remember what I said today."
"You must always stay with me."
