Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Imperial Physician Qin pretended to be calm and said, “Things have already come to this. Since I know that there was something fishy about the matter back then, I naturally have to help you. I have to share the emperor’s burden.”
Hearing Imperial Physician Qin’s righteous words, Gu Qingxue could not help but want to applaud this fake old man.
To be able to say such a lie without batting an eye, Imperial Physician Qin was indeed a talent.
“Imperial Physician Qin is putting in so much effort, I naturally have to report this matter to His Majesty. Imperial Physician Qin, it’s still early, why don’t you come with me to pick her up?” Gu Qingxue smiled slightly. She did not care whether Imperial Physician Qin would reject or agree to it. She walked away with large strides, minding her own business.
As he watched Gu Qingxue’s back as she strode away, Imperial Physician Qin’s eyes were filled with unconcealable complexity.
Imperial Physician Qin followed Gu Qingxue silently. The two of them sat in the carriage together and went to the prince regent’s residence to pick her up.
Madam Zou was still settled in the same courtyard, sitting on the cold stone bench in a daze, looking up at the plum blossoms on the branches.
Gu Qingxue looked at Madam Zou. She could clearly sense the sorrow and desolation of this woman.
Gu Qingxue could not help but look at Madam Zou and ask, “What are you looking at?”
Madam Zou did not answer. She just stared at the plum blossom in a daze and did not say a word.
Imperial Physician Qin sized up Madam Zou and put his hands in his sleeves, his arms in front of his chest. He said expressionlessly, “What else can she see? Back then, Beauty Yin liked plum blossoms, and as her personal maids, they would always try to give plum blossoms to please her. As time passed, it was normal for such a reaction to appear.”
Madam Zou, who was still in a daze, actually had a reaction when she heard this. She suddenly turned her head and looked at Imperial Physician Qin.
Madam Zou’s eyes were particularly empty as if two holes had been dug out of a dead tree, without any spirit.
Imperial Physician Qin’s hair stood on end under Madam Zou’s gaze. He looked at Madam Zou uneasily and scolded, “What are you looking at?”
Madam Zou, however, laughed foolishly. Her throat was injured, so her laughter was sharp and ear-piercing.
The hair on Imperial Physician Qin’s back trembled and he looked at Madam Zou as if he had seen a ghost. “What are you laughing at?”
Madam Zou’s reaction surprised Gu Qingxue.
According to reason, Madam Zou’s poison was similar to her grandmother’s. This poison would turn people into mentally disabled people. As the poison deepened, they would lose all emotions and become emotionless people. They would not know happiness or sadness, and it was impossible for them to make such rich expressions to express the feelings in their hearts.
Gu Qingxue was certain that it was impossible for Madam Zou to improve so much all of a sudden. She did not say anything and continued to observe Madam Zou.
Madam Zou stood up and moved closer to Imperial Physician Qin. Her eyes looked like a wild beast that had its eyes on its prey.
“You, what are you doing? I’m warning you, don’t come near me. ” Imperial Physician Qin could not help but be a little flustered. He waved his sleeves forcefully and warned Madam Zou.
Who knew if Madam Zou really understood Imperial Physician Qin’s warning? She was a few steps away from Imperial Physician Qin, and she pointed her finger at his nose. Her mouth moved, and she kept using her lips to say three words.
‘It was you.’
Imperial Physician Qin understood what she meant. It was as if he had been struck by lightning as he stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
“Madam Zou, are you saying ‘it’s you’? Imperial Physician Qin, what did you do to let down Madam Zou that she wants to speak to you?” Gu Qingxue asked teasingly when she saw the hair on Imperial Physician Qin’s back standing on end..
