C125 Inheritance

When Luo Yun heard his words, he felt a chill crawl up his soles. She suddenly realized that he was right. If they tried to find any clues, all the evidence would be pointed at her.

"What condition did you agree to, Xiao Yi Mo?"

Luo Yun only hoped that her disgust towards herself would lessen a little as she hurriedly said, "He's always been blinded by me. Once I get on the carriage and take him somewhere, it will still take a long time to get off. I don't know who that person is, but she occasionally answers a few questions, and from the sound of it, her voice isn't that young anymore. "

"What's wrong with the man?"

"It should be a sign of metal poisoning. I have prescribed some medicine and should be able to treat it slowly. But I told them that this is a chronic poison and that they must first find the source of the poison. Otherwise, it would be impossible to solve the problem completely by taking medicine no matter how hard they tried. "

Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li looked at each other and simultaneously thought of the emperor's weakening body. Etiology... Can they find out?

"Leave. This king will let you go. Go back to Godly Doctor Valley and never appear in the capital again, and even more so, don't let this king see you again." Xiao Yi Xiu cleared Luo Yun's acupoints, "Leaving you alive is already a way out. The Mo King's Manor is no longer a place for you to go."

Luo Yun bit her lower lip and her face was streaked with tears. Without a word, she jumped off the carriage and left.

Gu Qingli knitted her brows slightly. "You're not afraid of her creating any more trouble by leaving her with a chance of survival?"

"She might be able to escape the capital alive."

Gu Qing Li was enlightened: "You used a knife to kill someone again! "Xiaoyi Mo clearly knows that she knows so many secrets, and now she wants to escape from the capital. I'm afraid that she will be silenced …"

"If she can really return to the Valley of the Godly Doctor alive, then it can also be considered as me giving her father an explanation." He thought back to that stormy night in the Valley of the Godly Doctor. If it wasn't for Luo Yun's plea, Luo Qingyun really would not have extended a helping hand. That day with Gu Qingli might not have lasted long.

He extended his arms and pulled Gu Qing Li into her embrace, the gentleness in his eyes slowly draining away. "If it weren't for Luo Yun, I wouldn't have lived to see you and given her a chance to live."

Gu Qingli couldn't find her bearings due to his gentle attacks, so she just let out a soft moan.

His gentleness lasted for a moment before it disappeared. His face was filled with disgust as he said, "Quickly wash off that face of yours. Gu Qingxiao's face is really ugly. It's not pleasing to the eye no matter what."

Gu Qingli laughed out loud. She pulled his face up and forced him to look at her. The more he didn't want to, the more she laughed. Finally, she couldn't hold back her laughter anymore.

Gu Qingxiao's skin was like jade, and her starry eyes were filled with longing. No matter what, she could still be considered a beauty. Yet, he said that she was ugly. She was clearly disdaining this person in her heart.

With great difficulty, he pushed away the face that Xiao Yixiu despised, and brought up the emperor's illness again.

Gu Qing Li sat up straight and pondered for a while. In fact, she had already guessed this matter as early as the birthday celebration. Back then, when the imperial pharmacy had been stolen, and when the medical staff mentioned the "stone honeycomb" medicine, she had already guessed that it was alum. The empress had long poisoned the emperor with alum, so very few doctors would have realized that alum was poisonous, considering the medical standards at that time.

Alum can be detoxified, can dissolve phlegm, if before the emperor has a slight disease, use alum as an auxiliary medicine for a long time to take a lot of uninterrupted, then sooner or later it is lead poisoning. Luo Yun was able to determine that the Emperor was poisoned by metal, but she was not certain that it was alum. Then, would he be able to continue taking poison?

"Don't you want to save the Emperor?"

Xiao Yi Xiu's handsome face was tense as he said coldly, "According to what you said, the lead in the alum isn't high. Taking it for years can only kill you in a short period of time. Don't worry."

Gu Qingli was slightly surprised. In her memories, he didn't seem to have any deep feelings for the Emperor. Imperial Concubine Lan had adopted him with such a strong sense of purpose that she didn't hesitate to poison him in the end. His hatred for her naturally had a reason, but the emperor was her father after all. Why didn't he have any kinship?

He pursed his lips, seemingly recalling something, and then said slowly, "The world thinks that I'm the adopted son of Imperial Concubine Lan, but no one really knows where I come from."

"Yes, why did she adopt you?" Gu Qingli didn't know about this at all. Even though it was in the secret file of the Announcement Flower Pavilion, there wasn't a single detail regarding this matter.

"Actually, I was originally of royal bloodline, and royal father's biological son …"

Gu Qingli was slightly surprised. She once thought he was Imperial Concubine Lan's adopted son, not a real prince. Now it seemed that her guess was wrong.

Twenty-three years ago, the Emperor's blood brother, Wiping King Ruo Lin, passed away at an early age. Among his widows was a beauty whose name shook the capital, Qingyun. In the name of mourning, the emperor coming to the palace to pay his respects was indeed an unparalleled honor for a prince. However, no one knew that the emperor's intention was not to drink; his goal was only to kill Qing Yun.

On the day of the sacrifice, the Emperor was lucky to have a chance. To him, it was just a casual affair, but poor Qingyun was pregnant. This matter could not be covered up no matter what. She treated the child in her womb as the descendant of the Wake King.

Although only she herself knew of this matter, she still felt that she had no face to see anyone. When she was sad, she wanted to commit suicide, but was saved by someone, and they all thought that she was too depressed and wanted to die for her husband, so they repeatedly advised her to bear with it for the sake of her husband.

When the Emperor learned of this, he knew in his heart that as long as the descendant of the Wake King was born, he would be brought into the palace to adopt him and raise him in the name of a prince. Everyone thought that the Emperor's affection was deep, and that it was for the grace of the Wake King.

When the child was born, he was carried to the palace, where he was raised under the name of Lan Fei, who had yet to have a child. There was no wall that did not let the wind pass through it. It was only ten months since the birth of the baby, and it was already ten months since the death of King Yi. Who would not be suspicious? Imperial Concubine Lan was well aware of this, but she also knew that by protecting this child, she would be able to preserve her own position. Indeed, her mother was able to rely on her wealth to be promoted to Imperial Concubine.

As for Qingyun, he killed himself the day his child was carried into the palace.

Whether it was someone who knew his place or someone who had guessed his identity, the prince, who had been branded with a disgrace, tacitly refused to mention his background.

At the beginning, Imperial Concubine Lan had some true feelings for this child due to the glory he brought to her. However, when her son was born, her selfishness became apparent. To the outside, she was still the mother of the gentle and refined, and the distinction between the two brothers was exposed in all its nuances.

When the emperor was facing this prince, he couldn't help but think of the most unerasable stain in his life, especially Xiao Yixiu's face, which looked more and more like his mother's. All this reminded him of the crimes he had committed.

Thus, it was obvious that she had been cold to him since she was young. She didn't even want to spare him a glance.
