Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Qingxue was already reluctant to part with her three little ones, and when she heard their words, her heart melted into a mess. She lowered her head and kissed each of their little heads. “Alright, mother will definitely come back early.”
At this moment, Miao Yin walked in from outside and bowed to Gu Qingxue.
“Doctor Gu, the carriage is ready. You can set off for the palace.”
Gu Qingxue nodded in agreement, then got up and left the dining room.
Gu Qingxue got on a carriage heading to the palace and quickly arrived at the palace gates.
To Gu Qingxue’s surprise, the head eunuch, Kang Fujiang, was standing at the entrance of the palace, waiting for her to enter.
When Kang Fujiang saw Gu Qingxue get off the car, he immediately walked up to her and bowed. “Good day, Lady Gu.”
Gu Qingxue nodded in acknowledgment and looked at Kang Fujiang with some doubts. “Eunuch Kang, why are you here?”
Kang Fujiang’s smile didn’t change. He said politely, “This servant is here on orders to invite Doctor Gu over. Doctor Gu, this way please. His Majesty is waiting for you.”
Gu Qingxue could not figure out why the emperor was in such a hurry. She followed Kang Fujiang and asked in confusion, “Eunuch Kang, does His Majesty have something important to tell me?”
“Lady Gu may not know, but His Majesty has nightmares all year round and always dreams of some terrible things. His condition has already improved greatly after he took a golden pill concocted by a Taoist priest. However, unexpectedly, the golden pill didn’t take effect yesterday, and his Majesty almost didn’t sleep the whole night.” Kang Fujiang could not help but sigh.
Gu Qingxue did not know about Rong Xiaotian’s nightmare.
As the emperor, the pressure that Rong Xiaotian had to bear every day was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It was normal for him to suffer from insomnia and frequent dreams.
What Gu Qingxue was concerned about was another matter that Kang Fujiang mentioned. “Your Majesty, do you often take the golden pills refined by Daoist?”
She was not sure if these so-called people who had achieved Dao had really achieved Dao.
However, she knew that the pills refined by Taoist priests often contained a large amount of talisman water, which contained a lot of poisonous substances. Eating too much of it could easily lead to chronic poisoning.
“Ten years ago, His Majesty fell seriously ill. After recovering from his illness, His Majesty had been searching for ways to maintain his youth. Over the years, he had indeed taken many pills. According to His Majesty, he’s full of energy every time he takes a pill, and he feels much younger,” Kang Fujiang said. When Gu Qingxue heard this, she almost could not hold back her laughter.
What did he mean by feeling much better every time he ate a pill?
There were no miracle pills in this world. The ancient elixir-making techniques were far less perfect than those in modern times. Only the purified and precise ingredients that she had bought from the Research Institute could produce immediate effects.
It was just Rong Xiaotian feeling good about himself.
Gu Qingxue felt disgusted in her heart, but her face was calm. After responding with a few words, she continued to calmly follow Kang Fujiang.
Today, Rong Xiaotian’s body was not feeling well and was resting in the Yangxin Palace Hall.
Kang Fujiang led Gu Qingxue through the door. Before stepping into the bedroom, he first bowed and reported, “Your Majesty, Lady Gu has arrived.”
“Yes, please come in.” Rong Xiaotian’s tired voice could be heard from inside the room..
