Chapter 215: Emperor Shunde is worried
After she was dragged away, the palace returned to silence again. Gong Anyan was lying on the ground, breathing out more than breathing in. If she was not treated, she would be in great danger.
Xuanyuan Che glanced into the darkness, and soon there was a knock on the palace door, and Liu Gao hurried in with the maids from the Northern Territory.
After seeing Gong Anyan on the ground, the maid screamed in surprise.
"Princess!"
Then they quickly stepped forward and surrounded Gong Anyan.
Liu Gao flew up, hugged Gong Anyan, drew out his sword with a "swish", and pointed it directly at Xuanyuan Che.
He yelled, "What have you done!"
"Liugao." Gong Anyan called him weakly.
Liu Gao narrowed his eyes and immediately lowered his head: "I am here."
"It was the Queen...she drugged me..." Gong Anyan said as she suddenly started coughing, and then began to vomit blood.
"Princess, Princess, what's wrong with you? Don't scare the servants!"
Her maids were crying together, fearing that something might happen to her. In the Northern Territory, there was a rule that when a master died, the slave should be buried with him. If Gong Anyan died, they would all have to be buried with her.
Liu Gao picked her up, his eyes filled with worry, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth as if he was very distressed: "I will go find a witch doctor to heal the princess first, princess, please stop talking."
Gong Anyan smiled at him, then spat out another mouthful of blood. She had been hit hard by Xuanyuan Che's palm and had serious internal injuries. She should have fainted long ago.
But she didn't dare to faint, and she held on until Liu Gao arrived.
With Liu Gao by her side, she was not afraid of anything.
"I just...knew...you would come."
After saying this, he fainted.
It was beyond Xuanyuan Che's expectation that she could hold on for so long.
Since it's a show, we have to do it in full.
Although the person was unconscious, Gong Anyan's maids were still there.
Liu Gao looked at Xuanyuan Che and gritted his teeth and said, "If there is anything wrong with the princess, I will not let you go."
Xuanyuan Che did not say anything. Liu Gao nodded to him implicitly, then quickly left the hall with the person in his arms.
After everyone had left, Xuanyuan Che was about to leave, but Emperor Shunde stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
Xuanyuan Che said without even turning his head: "Let's go back to Chaoyang Palace."
"Where is Susu?" Emperor Shunde suddenly asked.
Xuanyuan Che paused, turned around and looked at him, his eyes were hard to read, and his tone was extremely unhappy: "What do you want to do with Su Su?"
"Ahem." Emperor Shunde coughed twice. "The medicine that girl prescribed for me last time was quite effective. I want to ask her about my poisoning."
Xuanyuan Che naturally wouldn't believe him: "For such a small matter, I will tell your father that Su Su has already gone to bed and may not be able to come to see your father."
After saying this, Xuanyuan Che was about to leave again, but Emperor Shunde made him turn back again with a word.
"Haven't you already written the marriage certificate? How can you marry that girl without my approval? You don't want the position of Crown Prince anymore, you don't want the throne anymore? Are you going to take that girl and live in hiding?"
Xuanyuan Che was not curious about how Emperor Shunde knew that he had written the marriage certificate. The reason he turned back was that he said that without his nod, how could he marry Su Su.
He looked at Emperor Shunde and said, "Even without you, I can still marry Susu."
"That girl is a monster."
Xuanyuan Che clenched his hands in his sleeves suddenly: "What did you say?"
Emperor Shunde's eyes were like a sharp arrow, as if they could penetrate all of Xuanyuan Che's disguises: "Humans and demons have different paths, you know that."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Xuanyuan Che didn't want to continue talking to him.
"That girl is so greedy for money. If I abolish your position as Crown Prince, do you think she will still be with you?"
Emperor Shunde said this deliberately to make Xuanyuan Che uncomfortable, but Xuanyuan Che turned around and left, not even wanting to look at him again.
"Don't leave yet! Tell me first if you can do it! If you leave again, I will abolish your position as Crown Prince!"
Xuanyuan Che seemed not to hear anything and walked away resolutely, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Xue Chen had already bandaged Emperor Shunde's wounds and nodded, stepping aside.
Seeing this, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and his face turned red from trying to hold it in.
He was Xuanyuan Che's man. Seeing that he was upset, Emperor Shunde waved his hand unhappily and asked him to leave. Xue Chen bowed and hurriedly left the hall.
The blood in front of the dragon bed was quickly cleaned up by the palace servants, and ambergris rose from the black tortoise bronze incense burner, covering up the faint bloody smell.
When Emperor Shunde was the only one left in the hall, a figure slowly emerged from behind the screen.
If Mei Susu was there, she would definitely recognize this person, because this person was the one she and Xuanyuan Che went to meet in the suburbs.
Gujiang High Priest Yu Lou——
Emperor Shunde sighed: "It's really a headache."
With a gloomy face, Yu Lou took out a porcelain bottle from the brocade bag on his waist, leaned over and poured it on the wound on Emperor Shunde's chest.
Emperor Shunde subconsciously dodged. Yu Lou paused, realizing that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person. He immediately stood up and nodded to explain: "This medicine is a secret medicine from Gujiang. Your Majesty's knife wound is not serious. This medicine can be healed after two or three applications."
After hearing his words, Emperor Shunde slowly relaxed his brows and nodded.
Yu Lou applied medicine to him again.
"Your Majesty, are you worried that the little cat demon will hurt Your Highness?"
Yu Lou originally thought that Emperor Shunde would say yes.
Who would have thought that Emperor Shunde would sigh again and say, "That's not what I'm worried about. I know that Susu won't hurt Che'er."
Not to mention that the cat was left by his beloved woman, and Susu once saved his life, and after turning into a human, she cured him and detoxified him. Even if she is a monster, she is a good monster. He doesn't worry at all that Susu will hurt others.
Yu Lou: "Then what is your majesty worried about?"
Emperor Shunde looked deep, as if in great distress: "I am thinking about what kind of status I should give that girl Susu. Do you think it would be okay to give her the status of the daughter of the Grand Tutor?"
Yu Lou: “…”
Before Yu Lou could express his opinion, Emperor Shunde shook his head in self-denial.
"No, the status of the daughter of the Grand Tutor is noble, but also controversial. The family assets of those old antiques have been dug up. If a daughter suddenly appears, I'm afraid she can only be born to a concubine and cannot be shown in public. No, no."
Emperor Shunde lowered his eyebrows and thought seriously: "If not, how about arranging a Shangshu's daughter? The Ministry of Rites seems to be a good choice."
Yu Lou was about to speak when Emperor Shunde shook his head with a look of dissatisfaction.
"No, no, I have seen the daughter-in-law of the Ministry of Rites. She is not an easy person to get along with. Su Su will inevitably have to stay at her house for two days. She cannot bully Su Su. No, no."
Yu Lou: “….”
Just as Emperor Shunde was about to speak again, Yu Lou finally interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, why don't you have a good talk with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I think His Royal Highness must have a plan. Besides, now is a time of trouble, it is too early to think about these things. Moreover, Su Su is a demon, demons have been around since ancient times..."
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Shunde nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, yes, I should discuss this with the Crown Prince. Although Susu is a cat demon, Che'er likes her, and I also think that Susu is a pure-hearted girl. If the two of them can get married, it will be a good thing."
"You saw it just now. I don't know who that child inherited his temper from. I can't even joke with him. I said I wanted to depose him from the position of Crown Prince, but he ignored me. He is really weird."
