Gu Jiangli slowly woke up in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the emperor's extremely concerned face.
"How are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?" the emperor asked anxiously.
Gu Jiangli shook her head: "Your Majesty, I am perfectly fine."
"Don't move. Your hand is injured. Although the wound isn't deep, you still need to rest."
In the blink of an eye, Gu Jiangli saw a royal physician kneeling beside the soft couch, bandaging her injured hand.
The gauze was tied in a knot, and Gu Jiangli's hand was almost wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
Gu Jiangli: "...Actually, my injuries are not serious."
"Where is it not serious?" The emperor frowned, plopped down on the edge of Gu Jiangli's bed, and helped her sit up to lean on his shoulder. "You lost so much blood, it will take a long time to recover."
Gu Jiangli silently swallowed her words of rebuttal.
Alright, since the emperor thinks she's seriously injured, then she's seriously injured.
The imperial physician must have felt quite helpless; such a small wound required such meticulous treatment.
The imperial physician stood up and gave his diagnosis regarding Gu Jiangli's fainting spell.
"Your Majesty, Consort Xian's health is not serious. She fainted suddenly because of some pent-up emotions in her chest and the shock she experienced. I will prescribe some medicine, and she will recover with proper care."
"As for Your Majesty's hands, please keep them dry for the next few days. I will come to change the dressings every day. Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Your Majesty, your hands will be fully healed after the scabs fall off in seven days."
Gu Jiangli rested her head in the emperor's arms and nodded gently.
"I am truly grateful to the imperial physician this time." She never forgot to cultivate a gentle and courteous image in front of the emperor.
The imperial physician immediately knelt down, saying, "It is my honor to be able to treat Her Majesty."
The imperial physician looked up and saw Consort Xian leaning against the emperor's chest, the emperor looking at her with concern and enjoyment.
That scene was incredibly cloying.
The imperial physician swallowed hard, knowing that staying any longer would be too embarrassing.
He hurriedly said, "This humble official will go back and prepare the medicine for recuperation. This humble official will take his leave."
Having said that, he fled the main hall as if the wind were blowing across his feet.
The emperor rested his chin on Gu Jiangli's hair and whispered:
"Gu Jiangli, promise me that from now on, no matter what happens, you must prioritize protecting yourself and never let yourself get hurt again."
Gu Jiangli was somewhat stunned; it was the first time she had ever heard the emperor address her by her full name like that.
But this sounds a bit like something a domineering CEO would say?
She nodded in the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty, I understand. Even for Your Majesty's sake, I will definitely protect myself."
The emperor rubbed his chin against the top of her head several times, with great affection, as if he were comforting her wounded heart.
"Stop locking yourself up. I have lifted your confinement, and you no longer need to live a life of hardship."
"Think about it, if I hadn't arrived in time, what would you have done if something like this had happened today?"
Gu Jiangli nodded with a wronged expression, "Your Majesty, I understand. I will no longer hide from you. I can only feel at ease when Your Majesty is by my side."
After she finished speaking, she leaned even closer to him.
Then, she sensed the emperor erupting in fury; he gritted his teeth and said:
"It's all my fault! I've raised a tiger that will only cause more trouble! That audacious Liu Bufan dared to sneak into your room in the dead of night!"
Gu Jiangli immediately propped his head up, looking completely surprised.
"What? It was Daoist Liu who sneaked into my room? Why is that?"
"I don't know. If he really has any improper intentions, I will surely have him torn to pieces!"
The emperor's tyranny erupted in an instant.
Even Gu Jiangli could feel his murderous aura.
He knew nothing, which meant that Liu Bufan had not yet been interrogated.
In that case, she should also participate in the jury trial and offer her "constructive opinions" as well.
It would be terrible if the emperor acted impulsively and killed Liu Bufan.
Liu Bufan is still useful.
"Your Majesty, I also want to know why Daoist Liu sneaked into Yilan Palace. If Your Majesty wishes to interrogate Daoist Liu personally, may I listen in from behind the screen?"
Her watery eyes made it impossible for the emperor to refuse any of her requests.
"Why listen behind the screen? If you want to listen, then just openly interrogate him with me."
Gu Jiangli was slightly surprised.
He originally thought he had made an outrageous request, but he didn't expect the emperor to agree so easily.
And they gave me more than I asked for.
At this moment, she truly felt that the emperor's doting on her had reached an unprecedented level.
Her eyes shone with gratitude. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
————
Liu Bufan was carried in from outside.
A bucket of cold water was splashed on his face, and he finally snapped out of his daze.
After regaining consciousness, he found himself bound hand and foot and had a terrible headache.
What comes into view is a perfect couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
He shook his head before he could see who was sitting on the cushion.
One is the emperor! The other is Gu Jiangli, whom he intends to violate!
"Your Majesty! Liu Bufan greets Your Majesty!"
Liu Bufan tried hard to change his position and kneel on the ground, but he was tied up like a dumpling and it was difficult for him to move.
A chill rose from my toes.
He was caught in Gu Jiangli's room, in the middle of the night!
What this means is obvious even to a fool!
"Your Majesty! It's all a misunderstanding!"
