Capítulo 1626: Chapter 1629: The Emperor’s Ruthless Words

The minister imdiately fell silent.

Dealing with Ning Wangfei was indeed not the right timing now.

How could she be so fortunate? Just when the Empress Dowager fell ill at this critical mont, even the Imperial Physician was at a loss.

The Emperor looked at Pri Minister Zhang with sowhat cold eyes, speaking such arrogant and satirical words openly in front of him. He was growing more and more insolent.

But should he deal with him? That’s sothing he needs to consider.

“My beloved ministers, the matter of Ning Wangfei is full of suspicions. I will neither shield her nor wrong her. But this matter must be set aside for now. Pri Minister Zhang is right; at this critical ti, I hope everyone refrains from disturbing her. If soone frightens her with ill words and causes any mishap to the Empress Dowager, I will make sure his entire family pays with their lives.”

The Emperor was a man of a gentle temperant, rarely showing anger.

Seeing him speak harshly is a rare occurrence; a person who seldom gets angry suddenly does is always more imposing than soone frequently angry. The Emperor had uttered words threatening to kill entire families; naturally, no one dared to speak further.

…

The public opinion wasn’t sothing the Emperor managed, but since that day when he issued harsh words at the court, the official pressure disappeared.

Gu Youyou continued to enter the palace as usual, treating the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager’s condition was worsening, her rheumatism had beco extrely severe, and she couldn’t sleep from the pain every night.

Gradually, Gu Youyou noticed so issues.

The years of rheumatic tornt not only affected her physical health but also seed to have mutated.

Gu Youyou’s expression grew heavy, observing the Empress Dowager sleeping after taking painkillers. She then discussed it with Searcy.

“Why don’t you take so blood back to examine?”

Searcy sighed and said, “What’s the difference in examining it or not? You should also see that the Empress Dowager won’t survive.”

“Shh!” Gu Youyou looked around, relieved that there were no outsiders present.

Treating the Empress Dowager, even if she truly wouldn’t survive, shouldn’t be voiced like Searcy did unless one wished for trouble.

Searcy pressed down Gu Youyou’s hand and said, “We should try to let her live a few more days; otherwise, when she dies, you’ll lose your shield. With your Prince not back yet, it would be troubleso.”

“Do you even need to say?” Gu Youyou then took out a long needle to draw so blood from the Empress Dowager.

Regarding the Empress Dowager’s illness, Gu Youyou never hid it from the Emperor. The Emperor was very aware that the Empress Dowager truly wouldn’t make it this ti. Seeing the Empress Dowager suffering, he understood what he needed to.

After listening to Gu Youyou’s report, he sighed softly, “Treat as necessary, just don’t let the Empress Dowager pass away too painfully.”

Gu Youyou pondered for a mont and said, “The Empress Dowager’s main pain cos from her legs. In the later stages, it’s feared that she will need pain dication more frequently.”

“Hmm, make the necessary arrangents, you can go back now,” the Emperor said indifferently.

Gu Youyou bowed to the Emperor and was about to head back with Xu Yao.

The Prince Residence was not peaceful; she dared not leave Xu Yao by her side. So, she left him in the Imperial Palace. The Emperor seed particularly fond of children lately, perhaps wishing to compensate for Zijin not growing up by his side, as the Empress Dowager remarked.

Just as she reached the doorway, the Emperor suddenly called her back, saying, “Zijin should be back soon, take good care of the Empress Dowager. Leave Gu Wu’s matter to Zijin to handle.”

Gu Youyou was slightly stunned, and nodded gently.

…

A few days later, Jin Zijin finally returned, accompanied by the village chief of Lotus Village and the County Magistrate of Qingshui Town.
