After Kang Fujiang led Gu Qingxue into the room, she saw Rong Xiaotian sitting on a soft couch, wearing a bright yellow inner shirt.
His eyes were filled with exhaustion. He raised his head and looked at Gu Qingxue, then smiled. “Lady Gu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I’ve heard that the empress dowager allows you walk around the palace in the future and you can be exempted from the formalities. Since this is the empress dowager’s decree, then you do not need to bow. Kang Fujiang, please give Lady Gu a seat.”
Gu Qingxue thanked him and sat down. She raised her head and observed Rong Xiaotian’s expression. “Your Majesty, you don’t look as energetic as you did yesterday.”
“Yes… I had a nightmare yesterday. In my dream, many people wanted to catch me. I was very annoyed. I had a headache and couldn’t sleep for the whole night.” Rong Xiaotian’s face was gloomy, and he rubbed his eyebrows in worry.
Gu Qingxue observed Rong Xiaotian’s expression and calmly said, “Your Majesty, there are many situations that cause nightmares. I can take Your Majesty’s pulse first and see how it is. Then, I will think of a way to treat Your Majesty.
Rong Xiaotian nodded, agreeing to Gu Qingxue’s suggestion.
Gu Qingxue stretched out her hand and took Rong Xiaotian’s pulse.
After taking his pulse, Gu Qingxue realized that the heat toxins in Rong Xiaotian’s body were too strong.
The heat poison was too severe. In fact, it was because he had taken too many medicinal pills, which led to the absorption of too many heavy metal substances in the medicinal pills, which led to chronic poisoning.
However, Rong Xiaotian’s condition was not very serious. As long as he was treated in time, it would not be difficult for him to provide support.
Gu Qingxue observed Rong Xiaotian’s expression and retracted her hand. “I wonder if Your Majesty can give me one of the golden pills you consumed. I need to study it for a while before I can decide how to treat Your Majesty.”
“Why not? Kang Fujiang, go and get a golden pill for Lady Gu.” Rong Xiaotian ordered.
Kang Fujiang quickly sent over a golden pill and gave it to Gu Qingxue.
After Gu Qingxue accepted it, Rong Xiaotian rubbed his chin and asked suspiciously, “Lady Gu, are you suspecting that I’m not feeling well because I’ve taken the golden pill?”
Gu Qingxue saw the killing intent in Rong Xiaotian’s eyes as he spoke. It was not hard to guess that if she nodded and said yes, based on Rong zhantian’s temper, he would definitely kill her.
Although the golden pill might really be the key to the problem, this was the bad habit of taking medicinal pills, which caused the poisoning. It had little to do with the Taoist priests who made the medicinal pills.
“This matter can only be confirmed after careful observation of the pill. However, before Your Majesty took the golden pill, you already had nightmares. It can be seen that the key to the problem is not the pill,” Gu Qingxue explained calmly.
Rong Xiaotian’s expression softened a little. He nodded in agreement with Gu
Qingxue’s words. “Lady Gu’s words are reasonable. I won’t hide it from you, Lady Gu. All these years, I’ve been searching for all kinds of pills that can keep people young and immortal.”
Gu Qingxue had a smile on her face as she listened to Rong Xiaotian’s unrealistic words.
What immortality? What eternal youth?
Even in modern times with advanced medical care, people could not avoid natural aging.
Even if it could be treated through surgery, it would only change the appearance.
What Rong Xiaotian was pursuing was not an unrealistic goal.
Gu Qingxue did not like anything that went against the laws of nature. After hearing Rong Xiaotian’s words, she only replied indifferently, “Immortality is indeed something everyone yearns for. Your Majesty is blessed and your dream will definitely come true..”
