Chapter 192 The Showdown Between Gu Chen and the Fourth Prince
Gu Chen dared not reveal the truth!
My junior sister treated the emperor for so long, she must know that the emperor drank honey.
The medicine prescribed by my junior sister happened to contain ingredients that are incompatible with honey.
The fact that my junior sister didn't remind the emperor suggests that she already knew some of the truth and was therefore on guard against him from the beginning.
In other words, the emperor had been drinking the medicine for so long, but it was all for nothing.
If the emperor were to learn this cruel truth, he would certainly not let his junior sister off the hook.
"Gu Chen, why aren't you saying anything?" The emperor, holding a cup of honey water, coldly glanced at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen knew that the emperor had always had a bad temper and was good at understanding people's hearts.
He could only say immediately, "Your Majesty, perhaps the dosage you drank was not enough. Let me adjust it for you."
"You drank so much? Isn't that enough?!" The emperor was clearly angry.
Gu Chen could only continue to comfort her, "My junior sister doesn't have much experience treating this kind of disease, so it's normal that the dosage she prescribed for you wasn't enough."
Let me help you improve it a bit more. Things can't be rushed; we have to take it one step at a time.
The emperor was extremely anxious. The person he had been longing for was about to awaken, but he turned out to be a useless person. Where would he put his face then?
But now, besides being anxious, he really has no other choice.
In the end, the emperor could only urge Gu Chen to improve the medicine as soon as possible.
Gu Chen immediately wrote a prescription, replacing the medicine that was incompatible with honey with another medicine with similar effects, and finally managed to fool them.
He then left quickly.
But when Gu Chen arrived at the palace gate, he found that the Fourth Prince An Sen was also there. He had deliberately blocked the entrance with a van, clearly waiting for him.
Gu Chen got out of the car and spoke face-to-face with An Sen.
"Is something the matter?" Gu Chen asked proactively.
Ansen crossed his arms and said coldly, "Hand over Xia Yue. She owes me a child."
"Fourth Prince's words are ambiguous. People who don't know the situation might think you want Xia Yue to have a child for you," Gu Chen retorted without any politeness.
To be honest, Anson really did have that intention.
He loved Xia Yue's eyes so much.
Moreover, he has already found out that Xia Yue was the one who saved him.
At the time, Xia Yue used a disguise technique to impersonate Xia Jingjing, and he had been misunderstanding her, mistaking his benefactor for an enemy.
This is also why he didn't tell Qin Yeting the news, even though he knew Xia Yue was in Gu Chen's hands.
He wanted to take this opportunity to disrupt the situation and get what he really wanted.
"Gu Chen, Xia Yue won't like you. The more you keep her locked up, the more she'll hate you. You can't force a relationship." Ansen continued to provoke Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was furious when his secret was exposed, and his face darkened. He blurted out, "If it's not sweet, it's not sweet. As long as this melon is mine, that's all that matters! If you get in my way again, believe me, I'll deal with you too!"
Gu Chen wasn't just talking; he had the ability.
Even without relying on the emperor's power, he could deal with the fourth prince, Anson.
After yelling, Gu Chen ignored Ansen and got back into the car.
The fourth prince's car was blocking the road, so he rammed into it, knocking the car body askew.
Then, they turned around and left.
Ansen looked at Gu Chen like this, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Since the other party was so ungrateful, he had no choice but to temporarily change his plans.
He took out his phone, typed a text message, and sent it to Qin Yeting.
Hopefully, Qin Yeting won't disappoint him; it's best to act sooner rather than later.
Now let's talk about Xia Yue.
She felt like she was living through an eternity here, with no one to talk to except for the occasional glimpse of white smoke.
Gu Chen knew that she was skilled in making medicine; even ordinary lemonade could be turned into a deadly poison if you added a little something.
So, they only left her a few books in the room to pass the time, and nothing else.
Xia Yue was extremely bored and wanted to leave the room, but there were eight tall and burly bodyguards guarding the outside, so she had no chance at all.
Xia Yue sighed deeply; this life was no different from being in prison.
Just as she was being tormented day after day, Gu Chen came again.
This time, Gu Chen was still wearing a mask, and Xia Yue could clearly smell a strong medicinal scent on him.
It seems that Gu Chen has put in a lot of effort to suppress the poison.
Unfortunately, no one else in the world could solve it except her.
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes scrutinizing each other.
Finally, Gu Chen spoke first, "Junior sister, you have once again refreshed my understanding of you. When did you attract the attention of the Fourth Prince? He actually openly opposes me for your sake."
Xia Yue was a little confused. She hadn't had much interaction with the Fourth Prince, and only thought that the man was stupid for actually taking a liking to Xia Jingjing.
Then there was only one conclusion: the Fourth Prince and Qin Yeting had a close relationship.
Judging from Gu Chen's words, the Fourth Prince is looking for her? Is it at Qin Yeting's behest?
Will Qin Yeting be here to rescue her soon?
Gu Chen's expression darkened further when he saw the obvious increase in joy on Xia Yue's face.
"Don't even dream about it. I'm not going to let you go. Even if the emperor asks me for you, I won't hand you over!" Gu Chen warned Xia Yue.
Xia Yue glanced at Gu Chen and said sarcastically, "If you're so capable, why don't you say those big words in front of the emperor? I bet you'd be as obedient as a dog in front of him!"
Xia Yue deliberately provoked Gu Chen.
Gu Chen wasn't angry at all. He had suffered countless insults since childhood, so this was nothing.
Back then, in order to survive in the Gu family, he didn't just act like a dog, he was even more humble than a dog.
