Chapter 242 The Man Behind the Empress



Ten breaths later, in Gongzi Yu's sight, Chu Qinghe slowly withdrew his hand.

Seeing this, Gongzi Yu did not ask any questions, but simply looked at Chu Qinghe quietly.

Meeting Gongzi Yu's gaze, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "It's just premature aging, it's not difficult."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.

The hand that had been casually resting on the table trembled slightly.

The next second, Gongzi Yu's lips pursed tightly, and then he made a swallowing motion.

Even so, a little blood still seeped from the corner of Gongzi Yu's mouth.

After a few breaths, Gongzi Yu, who had calmed down, slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Judging from this calm and casual action, Gongzi Yu has done this kind of blood-spitting action many times before.

His movements were characterized by a nonchalant and casual demeanor born of familiarity.

"In the past fifteen years, you are the second person to tell me that my problems can be cured."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe asked, "Was the first person to speak to you Bai Xiaosheng?"

Gongzi Yu gently shook his head and said, "No, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn't say something he wasn't sure of, especially not something a woman who had secretly pledged her life to me would say."

After a pause, Gongzi Yu continued, "She's waiting for me outside now."

Hearing Gongzi Yu's words, Chu Qinghe knew perfectly well who Gongzi Yu was referring to.

Chu Qinghe smiled gently and said, "If you look at it that way, it's somewhat comforting."

Gongzi Yu nodded and said, "Yes! If it weren't for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on until now."

Then, Chu Qinghe lightly raised his right hand, and as his fingers lifted, more than a dozen sword energies rushed towards some acupoints and meridians on Gongzi Yu's body.

Under the barrage of sword strikes, Gongzi Yu's brows relaxed slightly.

As he felt the condition inside his body, Gongzi Yu's wrinkles deepened, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Now I can be sure that you really can heal my wounds."

In response, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "Now that you know, don't you think you were too hasty in relinquishing the position of the Great Dragon Head?"

Gongzi Yu shook his head and said, "No, I'm actually more inclined to let you take over the Azure Dragon Society."

As he spoke, Gongzi Yu smiled and said, "You only realize how important something is after you've lost it. I've been so tired these past few decades that I'm almost on the verge of despairing of this world."

"Fortunately, there's always a way out, and I've met you again. Now, I long to be like you, to find a small place to enjoy life and truly live for myself, instead of just barely surviving because of other burdens."

"Naturally, the better you perform now, the more satisfied I will be, and the more at ease I will be when I hand over the Azure Dragon to you."

Taking Gongzi Yu's words to heart, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "Forget it. Thinking about things all day is exhausting, and judging from your premature aging, I have even less interest in the position of the Great Dragon Head."

Then, Chu Qinghe slowly stood up and walked into the wine room.

A moment later, when Chu Qinghe came out again, he was sitting back with a pot of wine and a packet of medicine powder.

Seeing the wine pot and medicine packet that Chu Qinghe had placed on the table, Gongzi Yu did not speak immediately, but waited quietly.

It's as if this man's patience will always be this great.

After glancing at Gongzi Yu, Chu Qinghe slowly said, "Your premature aging syndrome is not difficult to treat, but there are some prerequisites. One of them is that you cannot take action for half a month, and you also cannot think about problems excessively."

"So now I'm giving you two choices."

"Mix this powder on the table into your wine and drink it. Your premature aging will be temporarily suppressed for a year, and your body will be no different from that of an ordinary person. After this matter is settled, I will treat you again."

After his gaze lingered briefly on the wine pot and medicine packet on the table, Gongzi Yu asked, "With your..."

"Medical skills should be able to suppress the premature aging syndrome in my body for longer, right?"

In response to Gongzi Yu's question, Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "That's right. Just adding some medicine can extend the duration of your premature aging by two years. Any longer would affect the effectiveness of subsequent treatments, and it wouldn't be necessary for you anyway."

Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, let alone Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao...

Even the usually quick-witted Jellyfish Yin Ji and Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe with puzzled expressions.

Judging from Chu Qinghe's current attitude, he is clearly not against treating Gongzi Yu.

Chu Qinghe had the ability to extend the duration of the premature aging disease in the young master's body for even longer, yet he deliberately limited the time to one year. This action seemed rather intriguing to the women.

After receiving confirmation from Chu Qinghe, Gongzi Yu chuckled and said, "So, if I hadn't come to you today, I would only have a year left?"

Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "If you hadn't come today, you would only have three months left."

Upon hearing this, Gongzi Yu nodded and said, "That's pretty much what I expected."

Then, Gongzi Yu continued, "Since you were able to accurately predict how long I could survive without treatment, you must have guessed when I'm about to do my thing?"

Chu Qinghe said calmly, "I didn't know before, but I did after taking your pulse."

Gongzi Yu asked, "If that's the case, why did you extend the time you gave me to carry out my mission to a year?"

Chu Qinghe sighed and said, "There's no other way. Even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about my family."
