"Bang, bang, bang"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Your Majesty."
Hearing Mo Qi's voice, the two people in the room seemed to suddenly wake up and separated instantly.
"You...I..."
Gu Qingchen was stunned. This was the first time he had been so panicked in all his years.
Jiang Li's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.
"Your Highness, Your Highness..."
Mo Qi was still knocking on the door, and it sounded like something important.
"You, you go and take a look." Finally, it was Jiang Li who spoke, and Gu Qingchen said "Oh" and nodded.
Then, they walked out hand in hand.
"Your Majesty, in the palace..."
The door opened, and just as Mo Qi was about to speak, he saw Gu Qingchen looking at him with a cold expression.
Subconsciously took two steps back.
"Your Majesty."
Woohoo, the prince is so scary. Mo Qi started to curse Mo Jiu again in his heart. It was all his fault for saying things he shouldn't have said today, making the prince angry. He really deserved to be punished!
"Speak." Gu Qingchen said one word and was too lazy to say anything more. He was only thinking about the people in the room.
When he came back, he saw Jiang Li rolling around on the bed like a pig, with her head buried in the quilt.
He clenched both hands into small fists and pounded them on both sides of his head.
If Gu Qingchen walked closer, he would be able to hear her mumbling.
"I'll let you be tempted by my beauty! I'll let you be so shameless as to provoke trouble! Now that's good, will he think I'm a gangster?"
Jiang Li didn't blame Gu Qingchen for her absurd behavior. It was her fault for having nothing better to do than to provoke others. She should have asked questions, but she did it in that way... Ahhhh... It was so embarrassing just thinking about it!
Gu Qingchen watched from the side, feeling that Jiang Li was scolding him, but also worried that he might hear it. He thought about how ridiculous he was. He had never been tempted by women in all these years, but today... he had fallen...
"Ah, Ari."
Although Gu Qingchen was a powerful figure in the court, he was still just a young boy when it came to matters between men and women.
Picking at the corner of his sleeve, he saw Jiang Li's head still thrashing around in the quilt. He sighed and walked over to pull her away, "Don't get bored."
With messy hair, Jiang Li looked at Gu Qingchen and smiled awkwardly, then pointed outside, "You... don't have to go? I think Mo Qi is quite anxious."
"Yes," Gu Qingchen originally intended to let her rest first, but after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked, "Someone from the palace said that there is something wrong with the third brother, and the people in the Imperial Hospital can't do anything about it. They want you to go over and take a look."
"If you don't want to go, I will help you refuse."
Recalling the scene yesterday in the Imperial Garden where the third brother deliberately stopped Jiang Li, Gu Qingchen planned to directly refuse on the grounds that Jiang Li was not feeling well.
However, she is a doctor after all, and he cannot completely ignore Jiang Li's own wishes, just like he promised her at the beginning that he would never be a shackle to trap Jiang Li.
"Reject?" Jiang Li shook her head. "You're coming to the palace so late. I'm afraid it's the emperor's order."
No matter how much she looked down on the third son, she could not deny that he was the emperor's biological son.
What's more, he is still struggling now. Jiang Li sneered and calculated the time. It should be that the horse flea powder has taken effect.
"Let Baizhi come in and help me change clothes."
Jiang Li stood up, "What about you? Are you going to the palace too?"
Gu Qingchen's heart was already in turmoil at this moment. He really didn't expect that Jiang Li would protect him so much.
He knew too well how much Jiang Li hated the Third Brother, but he was worried that he would be punished by the Emperor, so he would rather go to the palace in the middle of the night.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Jiang Li was just thinking about how to mess with the third brother later, so she put the previous incident behind her and forgot the embarrassment. Seeing Gu Qingchen nod, she quickly pushed him and said, "Then don't you want to change clothes too? Go quickly, finish it quickly and come back to sleep early."
By the time Jiang Li arrived at the palace, it was almost the end of the Chou hour.
"Greetings to the Prince and Princess. Your servant, Xiao Duzi, has been ordered to wait here for you two."
As soon as the carriage stopped, Jiang Li heard a sound coming from outside.
When he drew aside the side curtain, he saw a young eunuch and a group of servants waiting outside the carriage.
It was still a bit chilly at night. As soon as Jiang Li got off the carriage, Gu Qingchen saw Jiang Li yawning several times, so he took off his outer robe and put it on Jiang Li.
"I have heard that the prince treats the princess as the apple of his eye. Seeing her today, I am truly envious."
The eunuch Du who came to pick someone up had been doing menial work in the Internal Affairs Bureau after entering the palace. However, last year, by chance, he caught the eye of eunuch Wang and was recognized as his godfather. His status rose rapidly, and now he is the eunuch consul waiting in the emperor's outer palace.
As for Eunuch Wang, he is the chief steward in front of the emperor and is usually only responsible for serving the emperor.
Normally, if other imperial physicians came to the palace, their respective masters would at most send their own people to pick them up. But because the person coming this time was Jiang Li, and the emperor had given the order himself, Eunuch Wang didn't dare to neglect him and directly sent Xiao Duzi over.
Jiang Li glanced at Eunuch Du and smiled at him politely.
"It's a cold night, so take this silver and have some hot tea."
Arriving at Yuqing Palace, Jiang Li and Gu Qingchen went straight into the hall, while Bai Zhi walked a little slower, taking care of Eunuch Du along the way.
"No." Xiao Duzi took a step back. Not to mention that the prince was there, even if it was just the princess, he couldn't accept the money. He had been struggling in this palace for many years. If he didn't even understand this little thing, he would have been eaten alive long ago. How could he have climbed to his current position?
However, people in the palace have always been flattering the weak and looking down on the powerful. When they met for the first time, the princess was so polite to a servant like him, which made Eunuch Du remember it in his heart.
The other side.
Gu Qingchen frowned slightly, "He's just a small eunuch, you don't have to..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you ever heard the saying, 'A thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant hole?'"
Seeing Gu Qingchen's puzzled expression, Jiang Li winked at him, "I hope that Your Highness will have a smooth life. Even if there are any accidents, it would be best if there are no accidents."
The first time Jiang Li saw Xiao Duzi, she recalled what was written in the original book. During the time when the prince died of poisoning, the queen was devastated and became seriously ill and unable to get up. The emperor lost his beloved son and aged more than ten years overnight, with his temples turning white.
Thus, a dark period unprecedented in history began in the palace.
Countless palace maids were taken to the Dali Temple for strict interrogation, and even a young eunuch who accidentally passed by the prince's bedroom was beaten to death.
The God of War Prince wrote to the emperor, blaming him for losing his mind and causing unrest in the court.
The emperor was furious and punished the man severely and also ordered him to be under house arrest.
The third prince seized the opportunity and wanted to use the emperor's hand to eliminate Gu Qingchen in one fell swoop and completely resolve the threat to the position of crown prince.
It's a pity that the planned plan was accidentally discovered by a young eunuch, who risked his life to run to the palace to inform the king.
