Kang Fujiang nodded repeatedly and urged the coachman to speed up.

The coachman drove the carriage forward at full speed, bringing Gu Qingxue to the palace as fast as he could.

Gu Qingxue’s journey was smooth and unhindered as she arrived at the Yangxin Palace Hall where Rong Xiaotian was.

However, before Gu Qingxue could enter the door, a leisurely laugh suddenly sounded from behind her.

“Miss Gu is really concerned about Father’s health. She just received the news and rushed over in such a hurry.”

Gu Qingxue stopped in her tracks. She turned around and saw Rong Jinghua slowly walking out.

He wore a cloak and looked like he was pampered. The aura he exuded was extraordinary, making it impossible for anyone to look away from him.

Gu Qingxue said coldly, “Let’s not talk about whether I care about His Majesty’s safety for now. However, I think that Your Highness doesn’t seem to care about His Majesty’s safety. You still have the time to make sarcastic remarks at a time like this. I wonder how His Majesty will feel if you know that Your Highness is like this? ‘

Gu Qingxue did not care about Rong Jinghua’s reaction. After she finished speaking, she sneered and entered Yangxin Palace Hall without looking back.

As she watched Gu Qingxue leave in a hurry, the corners of Rong Jinghua’s lips curled up into an even deeper sneer.

“Hmph, stupid woman, I’m afraid she doesn’t know that she’s already dead!” Peng Zhou looked at Gu Qingxue’s back in disdain and let out a light snort.

Rong Jinghua looked at Peng Zhou and said, “Go outside and keep an eye on her. When the prince regent enters the palace later, you don’t have to rush him into the palace. If anything happens, the people you bring must stop the prince regent immediately. Don’t let me down. ‘

Peng Zhou nodded his head and left without looking back.

After Gu Qingxue entered the side hall of the royal study, she heard Empress Yin’s faint voice.

“So according to what the imperial physicians said, His Majesty’s body was severely depleted because he had eaten too many strange pills before, causing his illness to suddenly act up and he fell unconscious?” Empress Yin’s voice was trembling as she looked at Rong Xiaotian worriedly.

A few imperial physicians stood in a row in front of Empress Yin. When the imperial physicians heard what Empress Yin said, they all agreed. The leader, Imperial Physician Meng, lowered his head and respectfully answered Empress Yin’s question.

“Reporting to the Empress, that is the case. His Majesty’s dragon body was originally very healthy. If it wasn’t for the medicinal pills that he shouldn’t have taken, how could he suddenly become weak? From this, it could be seen that someone with ill intentions must have taken advantage of His Majesty’s health! This matter is no small matter. Empress, please take it seriously. Don’t let anyone with ill intentions take advantage of Your Majesty’s health!”

Imperial Physician Mengs solemn voice sounded as he spoke seriously.

“Of course. Since you are from the imperial hospital, you must know what tonic His Majesty has been taking recently. Investigate it carefully for me You must investigate everything, no matter how big or small.” The empress continued to speak harshly.

Imperial Physician Meng said, “Reporting to Your Majesty, the tonics that we have prescribed for Your Majesty are all ordinary. If you want to check, the imperial hospital has a file. You will know at a glance. However, His Majesty was previously obsessed with the art of immortality and had eaten a lot of pills concocted by Doctor Gu. Because the emperor trusted Doctor Gu, he did not record all the pills that Doctor Gu gave. This humble subject is terrified. I don’t know if there’s a connection between the two..
