C686 Threats from the pretty face of the clouds

Lu Yuan He had already been scared stiff by Meng Chang Xiong's death more than ten years ago, and now that his grievances had not been cleared, he definitely would not dare to carelessly treat any higher ups.

Yan Yuan understood what Lu Yuan He was thinking. After a moment of silence, he said, "If it's according to this recipe, do you have a way to cure it?"

Lu Yuan He decisively nodded. "If that's really the reason why the emperor gave us the prescription, then according to the herbs written here, this humble one can cure it, but what if it's not …"

"If that's the case, I'll shoulder the responsibility for you. If you dare to doubt me, then just follow the prescription and treat the emperor's poison?"

Lu Yuan He looked at Yan Yuan. The resolution and sincerity in his eyes were such that Lu Yuan He was unable to believe what he had just said.

In the end, he clenched his teeth and decided to gamble again. "Alright, this humble one believes in the prince."

"Thank you very much."

Yan Yuan slightly nodded. "However, only the three of us know about this temporarily, so don't mention it even if it's the emperor or the empress dowager. I'll think of a way to make the emperor consume the antidote for now."

"Yes."

After leaving Lu Yuan He's courtyard, Liu Ruo Qing looked at the silent Yan Yuan beside him and asked: "What do you plan to do with Yun Jiao Rong?"

If she still had some hope for Yun Jiao Rong before, now, she was completely disappointed in him.

Even so, she was still Mo Rong Tian's younger sister. She had never been able to repay Mo Rong Tian for saving her life twice before, so if she could help with this matter regarding Yun Jiao Rong and repay Mo Rong Tian's kindness, then she would no longer have any relationship with Mo Rong Tian.

As he mentioned Yun Jiao Rong, Yan Yuan's gaze froze. The killing intent in his eyes was extremely obvious; even Liu Ruo Qing had shivered at his side.

"Other than Yun Jiao Rong, everyone in Kaiser has thorns all over their body. It's not convenient to deal with Yun Jiao Rong right now."

Yan Yuan stopped and replied. He turned his head to look at Liu Ruo Qing and said: "Try not to see Kaiser, even if you meet him. Pick the one he likes and say it out loud, don't let him vent his anger on you."

Liu Ruo Qing was still thinking about her even at this moment, and her heart was warm. She held his hand and said, "But what if we judge wrongly, and what condition will the Mr. Lu's medicine give the emperor to eat?"

Liu Ruo Qing voiced out the worry in Yan Yuan's heart. Although his face did not reveal any expression, his eyes still revealed a little seriousness, and then, he said: "Right now, there's nothing we can do, we can only gamble. If this goes on, as time drags on, the damage to Kaiser will be great as well."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded, she knew in her heart that other than this method, there was no other.

He could only hope that he could save Yan Shuo this time and make up for some of the injuries.

Just as Lu Yuan He was about to prepare the antidote for Yan Shuo, the empress dowager got sick. When Liu Ruo Qing went to the palace to visit the empress dowager, she met Yun Jiao Rong when she passed by.

When Yun Jiao Rong saw her, his eyes flashed, but it only lasted for a moment before returning to normal. She smiled at Liu Ruo Qing and called out softly, "Ruo Qing."

Liu Ruo Qing stood face to face with Yun Jiao Rong, she had never felt that she was so unfamiliar with him before. If possible, she really wished that the Yun Jiao Rong in front of her was fake.

Yun Jiao Rong didn't know what was on his mind, but the look in her eyes made Yun Jiao Rong feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Ruo Qing, why are you staring at me like that?"

Liu Ruo Qing could no longer pretend to be close with Yun Jiao Rong anymore. With a cold voice, she asked, "Do you know that the medicine you gave the emperor, will cause the emperor to die?"

Hearing that, Yun Jiao Rong's face changed, but the change quickly disappeared.

"Ruo Qing, I really don't know what you're talking about. I love your majesty so much, how could I have drugged him?"

If it was the past, Liu Ruo Qing would definitely be happy for the Kaiser if she heard this from Yun Jiao Rong. But now, hearing this from Yun Jiao Rong's mouth, she only felt unparalleled mockery and disgust.

"It's fine if you don't want to admit it, but don't regret it. Once something really happens to the emperor, do you think the empress dowager will let you go?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yun Jiao Rong with a fierce gaze, but she was still smiling at her. She still remembered that gentle look, but it made Liu Ruo Qing feel like her entire body was freezing.

"Even if something happened to the emperor, I didn't kill him. The empress dowager can't just kill the innocent like that, right?"

Yun Jiao Rong was still smiling, but his eyes no longer held any warmth.

Liu Ruo Qing was thinking, had Yun Jiao Rong changed, or was Yun Jiao Rong such a selfish and malicious person, just that the beautiful environment she once lived in did not help him change her side. However, once there was such a chance, Yun Jiao Rong would change.

She was selfish. Even if it wasn't because she couldn't help herself, she would still choose a party in the end that would make her feel at ease.

For example, if the Kaiser loved her, she could hurt him as much as she wanted. But in her opinion, she had painted herself too great and selfless for her country and her people.

He gritted his teeth as he took a step forward and leaned towards Yun Jiao Rong and said: "What if I tell the empress dowager that you are a princess of the previous dynasty, and the younger sister of the young master of the Shen Ji Hall?"

"Ruo Qing, you don't need to threaten me with this. Don't forget, your master is the advisor of the Shen Ji Hall. If the empress dowager knew about this, how would she feel?"

Liu Ruo Qing's face darkened, a cold light flashed past her eyes, "You're threatening me?"

"How could I threaten you? You are my best friend, and when everyone was trying to push me out of the way, you were the one who stood by my side and supported me. I will always remember this in my heart."

She was emotionally moved as she held both of Liu Ruo Qing's hands, but was flung away by him.

She didn't mind, and only smiled gently: "Ruo Qing, I don't want to hurt you, but I just want to stay with the Kaiser. Before I went with the emperor, I missed out on a lot and only wanted to grab the opportunity to stay by his side."

Liu Ruo Qing took a deep breath, she then suppressed the anger in her heart that was about to kill Yun Jiao Rong, and said: "Don't speak so arrogantly, if you truly loved the emperor, you wouldn't hurt him like this. If the emperor knew that you drugged him, would he feel sad?"

Yun Jiao Rong's eyes dimmed a little, but that was only for the time of one breath.

"I said it already, I did not drugged the Emperor. Ruo Qing, if you insist on charging me with such a crime, don't blame me for disregarding my past relationship with the Emperor!"
