As soon as Gu Muchen walked in, he saw Rong Yu holding a bowl of medicine and a spoon, feeding Luo Jiu the medicine.
Rong Yu heard the noise, put down the medicine bowl, turned around, and saw Gu Muchen with a sullen face, so he probably hadn't gotten the antidote.
"You didn't get the antidote, did you?"
Before Gu Muchen could answer, Rong Yu said to herself, "That's normal. This Gu is the king of Gu, and it's not something someone would use unless they hate them to the core."
Since I'd already placed it, I had no intention of untying it.
"Then... what will happen to Xiao Jiu?"
Gu Muchen's tone was utterly dejected. Luo Jiu, the girl he cherished most, he wanted to give her everything. Who would have thought that in the end, he would be the one suffering because of him?
“A mother and child are of one heart. As long as the person who possesses the mother Gu does not issue any commands, the Emperor should be fine, just in a deep sleep.” Rong Yu’s tone was also full of helplessness.
Just then, Luo Jiu on the bed suddenly let out a soft moan, attracting the attention of the two of them.
"...Uncle...I'm in pain, Xiao Jiu..."
Before she could finish speaking, Luo Jiu's forehead was already sweating, her body was trembling violently, and she was in a state of torment.
Luo Jiu's voice sent shivers down Gu Muchen's spine, causing him a sharp pang of heartache, as if his heart were being torn apart. He wished he could take her place.
Rong Yu's love for Luo Jiu was no less than Gu Muchen's. Seeing his beloved woman suffer like this, yet being powerless to help, was incredibly disheartening.
Rong Yu suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Luo Jiu with a smile. He took out the dagger he always carried and stabbed it fiercely in the chest.
A muffled groan was heard, and within seconds, blood had stained the snow-white robe on the chest.
He trembled as he picked up the medicine from the table and poured his heart's blood into the bowl.
The blood dripped into the bowl, making a crisp "drip drip drip" sound.
"Why did you..."
Gu Muchen was surprised by Rong Yu's actions. He absolutely did not believe that Rong Yu used her heart's blood to save Luo Jiu simply because she was the emperor.
He knew that Rong Yu might like Luo Jiu, but he never expected that someone who was outwardly gentle and polite but inwardly extremely cold could go to such lengths for Luo Jiu...
The blood had stained the medicine in the bowl a deep brown. Gu Muchen took the bowl of medicine from Rong Yu; mixed with the medicine, he could still smell the blood.
Rong Yu was sweating profusely. The stab wound from the dagger forced him to bend over in pain, and his face turned pale instantly.
All I heard him say weakly was, "Give it to her."
With Luo Jiu still suffering from the Gu worms, Gu Muchen had no energy to care about Rong Yu's injuries. He could only feed Luo Jiu medicine first.
After drinking the medicine, Luo Jiu miraculously regained her composure and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that Luo Jiu was alright, Gu Muchen opened the door and called Yueying, who was standing outside, in. He then got up and went to find Rong Yu, who had just been pushed away by the pageboy.
Rong Yu was temporarily placed in the west wing by Yueying, which was close to Luo Jiu's bedroom, making it convenient for her to come and take care of him at any time.
When Gu Muchen arrived, Rong Yu had already treated her wounds, but she was still lying on the bed with a pale face.
Several old books that looked quite distant were lying on the ground, and Rong Yu was holding one in his hand.
"Is there any other way to deal with Xiao Jiu's Gu poison?" Gu Muchen asked anxiously as soon as he entered the room.
