Gao Hongyuan listened to Yuening's tearful account without saying a word.
Seeing this, Yuening stepped forward and tugged at Gao Hongyuan's sleeve, "Grand Preceptor, you've watched Ning'er grow up. How can you bear to see Ning'er suffer such a great injustice?"
Yuening grew up by Empress Wu's side and was very close to Gao Hongyuan from a young age.
Seeing her like this, Gao Hongyuan helplessly reached out and patted her head. "This is a one-time thing, don't let it happen again! Tell me, what do you want?"
Yue Ning burst into laughter through her tears, "Thank you, Grand Preceptor! I knew you loved Ning'er the most. I want the Gu worms to tear at Zhao Ruojin's womb, to make her suffer for seven days and seven nights, and finally, the Gu worms will break out of her womb, causing her to explode and die!"
Zhao Ruojin made her unable to have children, and she wanted to make that little bitch taste the same pain, a hundred times, a thousand times more than she had!
After leaving the Imperial Observatory, Yuening was holding a small bottle in her hand.
"This poison only works on women. Mix it into hot food and have Zhao Ruojin eat it. You don't need to worry about the rest. Just remember, it must be hot food!"
Thinking of Gao Hongyuan's instructions, Yuening's eyes were filled with excitement.
Zhao Ruojin, this is a wonderful gift from me, you should enjoy it.

Unaware of what was happening on Yue Ning's side, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu arrived at the Prime Minister's residence. After treating Dapu, she went to a room next door with Lu Junyuan.
"Young Master Lu, how much do you know about Gao Hongyuan?" Su Ruojin asked bluntly.
"The Imperial Advisor? I wonder why the Princess Consort asks about this person?" Lu Junyuan was somewhat puzzled, as Su Ruojin and the others should have no connection with the Imperial Advisor.
“He invited me to serve as the Assistant Imperial Physician at the Imperial Medical Academy,” Su Ruojin said frankly.
Lu Junyuan was stunned for a moment. "That's impossible. In Xiaoyue's Imperial Hospital, women can at most become female physicians. I've never heard of a woman being appointed as the Imperial Physician Assistant."
Even if Gao Hongyuan didn't know Su Ruojin's true identity, he wouldn't invite a woman to serve as the Imperial Physician Assistant.
Su Ruojin smiled but remained silent.
Lu Junyuan had a sudden realization and exclaimed, "Your Highness! You wouldn't happen to be Ye Zhao, the disciple of the Medical Sage that's been making headlines in Longxiao City lately, would you!"
If Su Ruojin is Ye Zhao, then it would explain why so many people in the city are looking for him, but to no avail.
She is a woman; how could she possibly find her if she were a man searching for her?
Furthermore, given her status as the Regent's Consort of the Great Chu Kingdom, if she wanted to remain hidden, who could find her? No wonder Uncle Qiu searched for so long without finding any news about Doctor Ye.
If Su Ruojin hadn't pointed it out so bluntly today, Lu Junyuan wouldn't have thought of it that way.
Given Ye Zhao's medical skills, it's only natural that Gao Hongyuan would have such thoughts.
The fact that the Princess Consort of the Great Chu had this other identity was completely unexpected by Lu Junyuan.
After regaining his composure and calming his emotions, Lu Junyuan said, "Gao Hongyuan is a distant cousin of Empress Wu. Although he became the Grand Preceptor of Xiaoyue Kingdom through the Empress Dowager's connections, he does have some real skills."
Two years ago, Longxiao City suffered a drought. The Imperial Preceptor went to the Star Gazing Platform to pray for rain. As soon as he finished his ritual, a torrential downpour began. The people knelt down and called the Imperial Preceptor an immortal.
At the end of last year, the Imperial Advisor predicted a snow disaster in the north of Xiaoyue, which indeed occurred, killing tens of thousands of people.
There are also rumors that the Imperial Advisor knows the art of Gu poison, but no one has ever seen him use it, so this is uncertain.
