"Feeling guilty? Haha, what should I feel guilty about?!
However, Mr. Gongsun, please don't misunderstand me when I mention this life-saving favor. I am just curious, but I don't mean to ask you to repay me.
"I just saw that the Nanyan family's head was very distressed about your son-in-law. I was just curious. Since the Nanyan family already had the Tianshan Holy Lotus, why did you come all the way to our Cangnan Dynasty to bid for it? Aren't you afraid that you won't win? Or does the Nanyan family's head not care about you as much as he seems to?"
"Princess Mo, please stop trying to sow discord here. This lotus is already available on the market, so why do you want my master to take out the treasured Tianshan Holy Lotus? Mr. Gongsun and my Nanyan family are not short of money. Why should we take out the treasured lotus when we can buy one more?
Besides, even if my cousin and her husband fail to take the picture of the Holy Lotus of Tianshan Mountain, our master will still give it to them when they return. You are saying this now with pure ill intentions."
Nan Yan and Gong Yue, who came with them, were standing aside, listening to Chaoge and Gongsun Jue talking to each other, and they wanted to retort to Chaoge directly.
Finally, when Chaoge deliberately said this, he could no longer sit still.
If Chaoge continues to talk as he pleases, Gongsun Jue and their Nanyan family will definitely become alienated!
Chaoge looked at Nan Yan and Gong Yue who were trying hard to prove themselves, and could not help but curl her lips into a smile, and glanced lightly at Gongsun Jue's face.
Gongsun Jue still had the same expression as before, as if Chaoge's words had not affected him at all.
"I wouldn't go so far as to sow discord. Even if I wanted to, could I easily sow discord with Mr. Gongsun, who is so wise? I am just curious. But then again, Mr. Gongsun seemed to be critically ill at the time. In such a critical situation, why couldn't the head of the Nanyan family give Mr. Gongsun the medicine first? Why did he bring Mr. Gongsun to the Cangnan Dynasty to suffer?"
"you......"
"Oh, don't be so desperate. I know I'm sharp-tongued and you can't win the argument. Anyway, you can argue as much as you want. Mr. Gongsun will make his own judgment. Don't waste your breath explaining."
Nan Yan Gong Yue didn't expect that he would be defeated as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't control his emotions and almost fell out with him.
Unexpectedly, Chaoge was even more shameless. She interrupted him before he could speak again, and left him speechless with another round of words.
Just as Chaoge was watching Nanyan Gongyue overestimating his own abilities and being almost mad at himself, the empress dowager had already taken several sips of medicine on the phoenix couch in the bedroom.
The medicine was fed by the Queen herself. The Queen Mother was supported by a palace maid, half leaning on her.
Even if Chaoge hadn't gone in, she could tell how bad the smell was from the rotting and pus-oozing skin.
Even though the Queen and the maidens tried their best to endure and control their facial expressions, their slight twitching and the way they tried to hold back vomiting several times did not escape the comprehensive scan of Chaoge's wood skills.
"vomit!"
Suddenly, a nauseating sound was heard in the bedroom.
On the phoenix couch separated from Jun Yuzaki and the others outside by several curtains, the empress dowager suddenly stretched out her hands, whose skin was all festering, from under the quilt and covered her chest with them. A mouthful of dark brown blood spurted out of her festering mouth like a broken water pipe erupting.
The Queen Mother vomited unexpectedly. The Queen had been trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit, but the Queen Mother's mouthful of black blood caused her to vomit half of her phoenix robe. The Queen was so frightened that she was caught off guard and knocked over the medicine bowl in her hand. Before the Queen could react, the noise inside had already alarmed old man Nan Yan outside!
"What's going on!"
The palace maid who followed the queen in to serve was so scared that she snatched the medicine bowl from the queen's hand. Fortunately, there was still a small spoonful of medicine left in the overturned bowl.
"The Queen Mother is vomiting blood! Master Nan Yan, please come in quickly!"
The queen stood up hurriedly, not even bothering to wipe the black blood off her body, and rushed out hastily, looking at the head of the Nanyan family with red eyes.
When old man Nan Yan heard this, his expression changed immediately and he rushed into the tent.
When he came in again, the scene he saw was the empress dowager with festering wounds all over her body. She seemed to have died and was leaning directly on the palace maid behind her, limp as if dead.
The palace maid was so frightened that she burst into tears. At the same time, she felt nauseous and the approach of death!
Without caring about the empress dowager's festering skin, old man Nan Yan hurriedly placed his fingers on the empress dowager's wrist and carefully felt it. When he tried hard to find the pulse under the empress dowager's festering skin, his face suddenly changed!
"Why, how could this happen? Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Old man Nan Yan seemed to be crazy. He yelled at the palace maid who was holding half a spoonful of medicine beside him.
The palace maid was frightened and hurriedly retreated with the medicine bowl. Jun Yuqi outside could not wait any longer and wanted to rush in, but was grabbed by the queen.
"What's going on? What on earth is going on?! Queen, tell me, what on earth is going on?!"
"I don't know either. My mother was drinking the medicine and suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood. I didn't even react. It was like that..."
"Mother..."
Jun Yuqi's eyes turned red. When he heard what the queen said, he was so worried that he wanted to rush in again.
The queen quickly reached out her hand again and hugged him, tears streaming down her face.
The Queen was naturally not worried about the Queen Mother's life, but she was worried that she had fed the medicine to the Queen Mother herself. If the Queen Mother really could not survive this time, then her position as Queen might be in jeopardy!
With such a big commotion inside, Chaoge naturally couldn't sit still and wanted to come in to watch the fun. Although she could use her wood skills to watch, Gongsun Jue and Nanyan Gongyue outside had rushed in. If she didn't go in, wouldn't it seem a little weird and arouse suspicion?
But Chaoge didn't expect that the queen would go to feed the medicine to the queen mother personally.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. If you go in now, it will definitely delay the treatment of the head of the Nanyan family. Moreover, since the Queen Mother fell ill, she has ordered that you should not see her sick appearance. If you go now, it will affect her mentality at this time."
After hearing the Queen's words, Jun Yuqi, who had almost lost his mind, slowly calmed down.
Yes, his mother was afraid that she would be sick and scare him, so she never let him see her.
If he rashly went in now and interrupted their treatment, he would be truly guilty.
Looking at this messy scene, Chaoge, who was wearing a mask, couldn't help but smile.
Who knew that just when she was happy, Gongsun Jue suddenly glanced sideways and stared at her with a pair of vicious eyes!
