Now that the matter has come to this, what else does the Emperor not understand? It's just that he has never heard of any grudges between Gu Cong and Prince Rong's palace, so why does Gu Cong have to spend so much effort to deal with An Ruowan.
This kind of thing was obviously inappropriate to ask in front of the old woman beside him. The emperor could only hold back his anger and waved his hand to let others be taken out of the palace first.
How could Eunuch Sun fail to see the emperor's thoughts? With a flick of his hand, he asked the imperial guards to retreat with the old woman.
When the footsteps gradually faded away, the emperor's eyes fell on Gu Cong.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Gu Cong understood that the emperor was giving him a chance, but he had nothing to say about this matter.
The palace fell silent, and the emperor's anger reached its peak at this time. His breathing gradually deepened, and he pointed his fingers tremblingly in front of his eyes, unable to say a word for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Prince Rong, the princess is outside asking for an audience."
At the critical moment, Eunuch Sun came quickly from outside the palace. Looking at the situation inside the palace, his heart almost rose to his throat.
After the words fell, the emperor closed his eyes and suppressed the anger around him for a while, "What are they doing here? I haven't even thought about it yet..."
"Perhaps there was a lot of noise about catching that woman in the capital earlier."
It was rare to hear Eunuch Sun speaking on behalf of someone, so the emperor looked up with interest, but there was nothing strange about Eunuch Sun's face, so the emperor ordered him to bring the person in.
Gu Beichen and An Ruowan came to the emperor together and bowed down.
"My brother has met the emperor."
"My wife has met Your Majesty."
Because of what happened today, the emperor felt that he was in debt to these two people. Now that he saw them appearing in front of him, he raised his hand and asked them to get up.
When Gu Beichen stood up, he glanced at Gu Cong aside, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his eyes.
"My younger brother heard that the governor of Jingzhao entered the palace today and brought someone with him. I wonder if the incident last time has come to an end?"
Gu Beichen got straight to the point, but the emperor's expression became even more ugly after he finished speaking.
"It is indeed the case, but I..."
Before he could finish speaking, An Ruowan showed a surprised look, "Really? Does that mean that the truth about Chen's daughter-in-law will soon be revealed? It's great."
Looking at the expression on An Ruowan's face, the emperor couldn't say anything when he reached his lips, and even glared at Gu Cong fiercely.
"I don't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is here, but the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince still have something to discuss?"
An Ruowan acted as if she had just discovered the figure beside her, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes after she finished speaking.
Seeing this scene, Gu Cong just wanted to sneer. He didn't know who An Ruowan was, and it was hard for her to pretend to be like this.
"Nothing, I just called him here. I have a few questions I want to ask."
The emperor didn't speak clearly, so An Ruowan naturally understood.
The palace became quiet again, but the emperor didn't know how to speak.
Just when the emperor was about to ask Gu Cong to go down first, An Ruowan happened to ask: "I wonder if the woman found by Jingzhao Prefecture had anything to say, and what happened to those letters?"
In this case, the emperor could not just let Gu Cong leave. He could only calmly ask Eunuch Sun to bring him back.
When the old woman saw the emperor, she immediately banged her head and kowtowed.
"Everything the old slave said is true, I hope the Holy One will see clearly!"
Upon hearing this, An Ruowan cast her eyes on the emperor, wanting to know what was going on.
The emperor couldn't understand either, so he motioned for Gu Cong to speak.
Unexpectedly, Gu Cong noticed the emperor's gaze and widened his eyes, "Could it be that just because of an old woman's few words, even my father believed such nonsense!"
The emperor frowned slightly, looking at Gu Cong, but the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, but it made it difficult for him to distinguish the truth from the lies.
"What does His Highness mean by these words? Could this woman be saying that His Highness ordered her to do this?"
An Ruowan spoke at the side, and then turned to look at Gu Cong.
"That's right, this person is an old slave in our palace. She suffered from a heart disease, and we kindly let her live. I didn't expect her to retaliate for her kindness. She is really feeding an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Cong's eyes fell fiercely on the old woman, and the threat was self-evident.
But the old woman has nothing to worry about in this world now, and her only remaining life has been saved by An Ruowan, so she has nothing to be afraid of.
Seeing that Gu Cong could confuse right and wrong to such an extent, even though the old woman used to be by Gu Cong's side, she never thought that he had such a side.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. You were afraid that the old slave would drag this sick body and spread the disease to everyone in the house, so you threw the old slave outside the capital and let him fend for himself. If it weren't for the old slave's life, Da, now I have no chance to see His Highness again."
There was some truth in what the old woman said. When she finished speaking, Gu Cong narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you keep claiming that you are infected with a disease, why are you safe now?"
Gu Cong knew that An Ruowan knew medical skills. If An Ruowan saved this person, then it was unknown what else happened.
Seeing the panic flashing in the old woman's eyes, Gu Cong unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth.
But soon the old woman lowered her eyes and explained the reason clearly.
"It was the prescription given by the shopkeeper of Huichun Hall that allowed the old slave to survive until now."
As soon as these words came out, even the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "What kind of disease did you have before?"
"tuberculosis."
After the word "ordinary" came out of the old woman's mouth, everyone else in the palace took a step back without realizing it. No one knew that this tuberculosis man was the Living King of Hell. Not to mention others, even Song Li from Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Because this disease lingers on the bedside.
Thinking of this, the emperor subconsciously turned his attention to An Ruowan. However, he heard that An Ruowan seemed to have a magical medicine to treat this disease. Would that be...
As the expression in the emperor's eyes darkened, Gu Cong relaxed a little and prepared to watch the show.
"Who is the manager of Huichun Hall? Go and bring him."
With just one word, Eunuch Sun retreated from the hall, but his face was filled with helplessness. How long had it been since the shopkeeper of this small medicine shop had left?
But it was difficult to find him, so he had to find it quickly, otherwise it would be a big sin if the emperor couldn't wait.
About halfway through the incense stick, I saw someone outside the door hurriedly heading towards here.
An Ruowan glanced slightly and saw Shopkeeper Lu being carried all the way towards here.
Boom——!
The person was thrown in front of everyone, and Eunuch Sun breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hands to the emperor.
"Go back to the Holy Spirit, I've been brought here."
Hearing this, the emperor lowered his gaze in front of him, and then frowned in displeasure. Why is this man shaking all the time? He's also too timid.
