Gu Yun disliked the emperor. He knew that the emperor was a profit-seeking person, and he could see it through the affairs of the Chi family.
Because of his great military achievements, the emperor was not stingy with his military power. But if he was defeated, he would immediately put aside his past friendship, disregard the situation of the Chi family, take back the military power, and put the then empty Chi family into dire straits.
Gu Yun didn't dare to imagine how dire the Chi family would be now if Mr. Chi hadn't won the military merit.
If it weren't for Chi Qian'an, he wouldn't bother to come.
Entering the hall, he finally saw the emperor, wearing a dragon robe, looking truly majestic.
The concubine next to him was pretty good-looking, more beautiful than any woman he had ever seen before, but she was too young. The old emperor could be her father.
Even though he is old, he is still very lucky.
Gu Yun looked directly at the person in front of him and stood there without saying a word.
Jiang Ji was also shocked that the young man in front of him was actually a miracle doctor who could bring the dead back to life. It seemed that his An Huai country was indeed full of talented people.
Li Dequan pushed him and said, "Divine Doctor Xiaoyao, what are you standing there for? Hurry and pay your respects to the Emperor and the Princess!"
Gu Yun pursed his lips. Princess? No wonder he was saying how could the old dog emperor have such good fortune.
Jiang Ji was really worried about the Queen Mother's health, so he waved his hand and said, "No need, go in and let the Queen Mother take a look!"
Jiang Qiao looked at the man in white. He looked like a young waiter and seemed unreliable. Could he cure the empress dowager?
She reminded him, “I hope the name of the miracle doctor lives up to his job.”
Gu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. Is this princess trying to provoke me?
"certainly."
Gu Yun followed Nanny Yu into the inner hall for treatment.
Before the emperor arrived, Jiang Qiao had already placed the Jade Guanyin in the inner hall, hoping that the free and easy doctor could see the clues of the Jade Guanyin.
As soon as Gu Yun entered the inner hall, he smelled a strange fragrance. He did not check the Queen Mother's pulse immediately, but instead searched for it in the inner hall.
Nanny Yu was very observant. Normally, if someone had dared to observe the Empress Dowager's bedroom so boldly, she would have had them dragged out and punished. But today she pretended not to see anything.
Gu Yun's gaze fell on the Jade Guanyin on the small table beside him. He walked forward, picked up the red beads on the Jade Guanyin and sniffed them.
He was shocked. How could tuberose, a product of the barbaric country, appear here?
It is most taboo for tuberose to appear around elderly people.
This was intentional murder.
Yu Mama thought that this was indeed the case. She stepped forward and asked, "Does the Divine Doctor think there's something wrong with this thing?"
Gu Yun handed her the red bead and said, "Take this out. I'll check the Queen Mother's pulse first."
Nanny Yu took the red beads out and signaled Yuxing beside her to keep an eye on them.
Gu Yun walked to the bedside and noticed that there was a young man here. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the eldest princess outside. He thought that this was the only eldest prince of Anhuai Kingdom, but unfortunately he was a fool.
He went forward to take the pulse of the sleeping old man. His pulse was weak, his eyes were dark circles, and his lips were black.
Sure enough, it was a sign of tuberose poisoning.
It seems that things in the palace are not as peaceful as they seem.
…
"You mean this bead is the culprit for the Queen Mother's illness." Jiang Ji took the bead and looked at it carefully.
Gu Yun nodded: "This red bead emits the scent of tuberose. This kind of fragrance is most harmful to the elderly. The Queen Mother's body is weak to begin with. Living in a space with this kind of fragrance for a long time will not take long... From the intensity of the fragrance emitted by the bead, it can be seen that this bead has been soaked in tuberose for at least half a year."
Jiang Ji's face was gloomy. He could tell from his words that this was premeditated murder: "Where did the beads come from?"
Yu Ma Ma hurriedly knelt down, tears streaming down her face. "Yes... Concubine Zhu sent this to me a few months ago. This red bead came with the Jade Guanyin. The Empress Dowager likes to worship Buddha, and she was very fond of this Jade Guanyin. She also liked the fragrance of the red bead, so she has kept it in her bedroom ever since."
When Jiang Ji heard the words "Empress Zhu", his heart felt like a block of lead, cold and hard, weighing down his chest and almost about to fall out.
Why? Is it related to her?
Jiang Qiao felt happy when he saw Jiang Ji so distressed.
It must be very sad to be hit by someone you trust!
She stepped forward and said, "Father, as far as I know, tuberose is a product of the Barbarian Kingdom. The Barbarian Kingdom is very far away from the Anhuai Kingdom. If it weren't for the tribute from the envoys, it would be difficult for others to obtain this spice. Concubine Zhu may not be aware of this matter. Perhaps this is a frame-up. Father, you can investigate privately and clear Concubine Zhu's name."
Jiang Qiao certainly didn't say this to excuse Lou Zhuxin. She just wanted to give Jiang Ji the last glimmer of hope. The matter of the spices was not difficult to investigate. Such spices were so precious that anyone who could get them would definitely leave clues. When Jiang Ji found out that the person he loved most was so cruel, he would definitely be even more painful.
Gu Yun had felt something was wrong just now. When he entered the inner hall just now, the smell of tuberose was not strong, and it was obvious that the beads had just been placed in the room. However, the nanny said that the beads had been there for several months.
He set his sights on the girl in front of him, and no matter how he looked at her, he felt like he had succeeded.
There are such interesting people in the palace!
"I have already written the prescription. Your Majesty, after taking it for a few months, your health will be much better. I will take my leave now."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "The miracle doctor has done a great job. I will reward him handsomely."
Gu Yun didn’t care, but his house was almost emptied by someone, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
After Gu Yun left, Jiang Ji called Li Dequan and said, "Li Dequan, what happened in the Cining Palace today must not be spread at all. Ask the Jinyiwei to find out the source of the tuberose in the Empress Dowager's palace. Until the source is found, no news can be leaked."
Li Dequan: "Yes."
Jiang Ji looked at Jiang Qiao and also told her: "Changle, you take care of the Cining Palace affairs and remember to control their mouths."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left.
Jiang Qiao looked at Jiang Ji's departing figure, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled, "What happened today is known only to a few of us. No one else can tell anyone. If I find out... I'll kill you!"
They all said in unison: "Yes."
Jiang Qiao went into the inner hall again to take a look at the empress dowager. Jiang Yanchuan was standing guard beside her and it seemed that she had not moved at all and was still in her original position.
"Ayan, come here, it's time for us to go."
Jiang Yanchuan then came over and asked, "Grandmother, are you feeling better soon?"
Jiang Qiao chuckled: "Of course."
