Le Cheng Emperor in the end looked towards Yu Zhong Qing who was standing at the doorway, “Have these people all taken care of.”
“Yes.” Even if just now, Noble Consort Su’s words, Yu Zhong Qing similarly heard, it was also merely just hearing. Never mind that he’d already secretly casted himself under Jin Qinwang, even if he hadn’t, this matter still had nothing to do with him. Regardless of who ascends the throne, auspicious or not, it all wasn’t something he can comment on.
The unrelated people all got taken out. Le Cheng Emperor coldly looked to Noble Consort Su, “From here on, without this emperor’s permission, not allowed to set foot out of Yucui Palace. Su-shi, you have always been smart. If you don’t want to drag down old three, then you should know what to do.”
Noble Consort Su used the last of her strength to clench her fist, “This consort thank your Majesty’s grace.”
“Hmph!” Le Cheng Emperor coldly snorted, storming off in a huff.
Thus, the three people that similarly learned the secret followed Le Cheng Emperor out of Yucui Palace.
Towards these three, Le Cheng Emperor actually wasn’t that worried. Gong Jiu was someone from Yuan’er’s manor to begin with, so towards his own master’s matters, presumably won’t make careless remarks. Moreover, it wasn’t Le Cheng Emperor’s first time seeing Gong Jiu either. Towards his temperament, he still understood somewhat. This person, unless concerning an illness, otherwise he won’t easily open his mouth. As for Yu Zhong Qing, he was someone he singlehandedly promoted up, also deeply trusting.
Other than them, it was just the chief eunuch by his side. This was an old servant that has followed by his side since long ago. It can be said that this person has followed by Le Cheng Emperor’s side the longest. Speaking from a certain perspective, no one had a deeper ‘relationship’ with him than this person.
In Yucui Palace, there was only Noble Consort Su left. If not for her breathing sounds, and the lightly heaving body on the recliner, afraid would’ve thought that this person was already dead.
A moment later, Noble Consort Su forcibly sat up, tidying her clothes and hair. No matter how much her two hands trembled, she still folded them over her legs, quietly staring ahead, still wanting to maintain her composure and dignity as a noble consort.
As she sat there, she just manically started laughing, “Li Hong Yuan, regardless of what your goal is, having spared this consort today, this consort in the future will let you regret for the rest of your life. Originally, for better or worse, this consort had raised you, and regardless whether this consort was genuine or pretending, you ultimately had called this consort ‘consort mother’ for that long. Originally was going to let you be an idle wangye, having glory and honor, but you actually turned out to be a white-eyed wolf, even ruthlessly biting this consort. Then naturally, don’t blame this consort for being merciless.”
Noble Consort Su laughed louder and louder, laughing even more madly. In the vast palace hall, her laughter made one’s hair stand on its end.
Le Cheng Emperor didn’t go to any other hall, instead going to the imperial gardens. After giving Yu Zhong Qing a look, Yu Zhong Qing intuitively understood, quickly leaving, ensuring that the surrounding was safe and secure.
Soon after, Le Cheng Emperor randomly asked about Li Hong Yuan’s situation, just like a good father caring for his son.
Gong Jiu naturally just answered all he knew, but in another place hidden to others, Gong Jiu’s fingertips pressed against Le Cheng Emperor’s wrist, multitasking.
However, the time spent taking the pulse was a bit long, the left hand switching to the right hand, the right hand switching to the left hand. Gong Jiu’s brows also slightly furrowed.
“How is it?” Seeing this, Le Cheng Emperor’s heart rose along with, just fearing that even the last line of hope had shattered.

Towards the end, Gong Jiu’s brows instead relaxed, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, everything is well.”
“Well?” Le Cheng Emperor’s voice rose a few levels, penetrating with strong disbelief.
“Replying to your Majesty, it is indeed so. You should know, wangye’s temper although appears to be a bit bad, what his inherent nature is like, presumably, you can’t be more clear. Just, only a few people can see through this. The things that others see are only what appears on the surface. Those that don’t know always love using this bit to scare even more people, how innocent is wangye.”
Le Cheng Emperor naturally understood. His so called poisoning was actually just a surface-level phenomenon. In essence, it was simply nothing, merely the imperial physician he found not being able to make out the situation. Towards Gong Jiu’s medical skills, Le Cheng Emperor still acknowledged. Just, because of his paranoia as a ruler, the things related to Gong Jiu in the past, he would always separately have the imperial physicians look over. However, this time, it wasn’t the same. He completely believed Gong Jiu’s words. After all, he was Yuan’er’s person. Yuan’er’s greatest reliance was him. If his body really was already deeply poisoned, then his subordinate simply didn’t have a reason to hide this.
Because knowing that his own body was fine, Le Cheng Emperor just clenched his fist. Since this is the case, he should go take care of the person that dares to cause trouble under his eyelid.
“Hearing you say this, this emperor is also relieved. That’s right, since you’ve entered the palace, why don’t you also examine this emperor.”
“Yes, your Majesty.” A moment of silence later, “Your Majesty’s dragon body doesn’t have any problems. Just need to let the imperial physicians prescribe some warm supplements to appropriately recuperate. Don’t need too much, at most just three doses.”
In at most just three doses, the signs of poisoning on him will just disappear. This time, Le Cheng Emperor just thoroughly relaxed.
“Gong Jiu, at such a young age, your medical skills nevertheless surpass the mass, do you have the intention of entering the Imperial Physician’s Court? How about this emperor put you in charge of the Imperial Physician’s Court?” Towards Gong Jiu, this kind of talent, Le Cheng Emperor was tempted every time he saw, and this time, he could no longer endure. Then again, if Gong Jiu had been present, would he have been anxious and restless for that long?
“Your Majesty, wangye, for this humble one, has the favor of recognizing one’s worth. Where one should stay, everything all depends on wangye.”
Want to poach? Fine, why don’t you go ask the master in the courtyard. This wall expressed that he completely didn’t have the ability to make the decision.
Le Cheng Emperor fell silent. At this time now, he further didn’t dare to go ask his son.
“Forget it, this matter can wait until later.” Le Cheng Emperor waved his hand, “Why don’t you go back first.”
“Yes, this humble one will take one’s leave.” Gong Jiu picked up his medicine case and calmly departed.
Once he was gone, Le Cheng Emperor once again changed face, “This emperor in the past really was too benevolent? In this imperial palace, someone actually dares to mess with this emperor.”
“Your Majesty, it’s fortunate that someone from Jin Qinwang Manor has high skills, thus not letting the person behind the scenes prevail.”
Le Cheng Emperor heavily snorted. Previously, he was refraining from shooting at the rat in fear of breaking the vase, but now, he naturally didn’t have anymore misgivings. “Commander Yu………”
“Your Majesty.” Yu Zhong Qing quickly appeared, deferentially standing before Le Cheng Emperor.
Le Cheng Emperor quietly whispered a few words, and Yu Zhong Qing went to carry out the order.
Gong Jiu didn’t fall behind Li Hong Yuan that long. As such, not long after leaving the palace, he just caught up with the manor’s carriage.
After returning to the manor, Li Hong Yuan’s expression was tranquil. Where was one still able to find the least bit of moodiness from when back in Yucui Palace.
Gong Jiu took it all in, not too sure whether master had long known this matter, or just concealing in his heart, not wanting to let wangfei detect anything amiss. However, regardless of which, all in all, regarding the fact that master was a ghost child, it absolutely can’t be leaked from his mouth. In reality, based on master’s temper, this matter, for him, actually didn’t have any influence at all. Regardless of what kind of birth, it all won’t stop him from doing the things he wants to do.
Because the matter still wasn’t over with, Gong Jiu naturally just followed along to the main courtyard.
“You’re back, how’s the situation?” When Jing Wan saw them, she placed down the scissors in hand and washed her hands.
Li Hong Yuan pulled Jing Wan to sit down, briefly explaining Yucui Palace’s matter first. Although he didn’t say it directly, Jing Wan nevertheless understood his meaning, her eyes penetrating with shock. “Did you all do something? Someone like Noble Consort Su, it shouldn’t be too possible for her to lose control that easily, let alone speak without thinking.”
As the saying goes, the onlooker sees clearer than the parties involved. Even Li Hong Yuan slightly blanked. Right, that woman, absolutely shouldn’t be underestimated. How was it possible for her to just lose control to that degree by his provocation? Thus, his gaze uncontrollably landed on Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu immediately knelt down on one knee, “Wangye please forgive. This subordinate has been researching some drugs recently, and prior to entering the palace, just habitually carried some on oneself. This drug, under normal circumstances, is useless towards people. Just, when a person’s emotional state is unstable, they will receive different degrees of influence, and from there, somewhat lose control. If one’s willpower is a bit weak, then one will just speak and act according to one’s true feelings inside.”
That’s why, it really was just an accident.

Even at this point Consort Su still hasn’t grasp why LHY has left her alive. If he can remain undetected for so many years then clearly him spearing your is simply because he isn’t done with you, so how could he not know that by spearing your life that you will plot against him?
