Rong Xiaotian merely sneered, “Then we’ll have to see if Doctor Gu for me to investigate the matter.”
Kang Fujiang understood and continued to serve tea.
On the other side, Judge Wu’s expression was gloomy and cold. After pretending to concoct the medicine, he left the palace and sat in his own carriage.
In the end, not long after he left, the carriage was stopped by a man in a black cloak.
Judge Wu’s carriage was forced to stop. He lifted the curtain and saw the ‘man’. Immediately recognizing his identity, Judge Wu hurriedly invited him into the carriage.
When the other party sat down in the seat opposite him, Judge Wu’s expression was still as resentful as before. With a cold face, he said, “How can you be so bold? Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”
The ‘man’ in men’s clothes lifted the hood of his cloak, revealing a small face that could cause the downfall of a city. It was Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue calmly said to Judge Wu, “Don’t worry, Judge Wu. Since I’ve come out, I’m confident that no one will find out. I wonder if you’ve brought me any good news?”
Judge Wu sighed, and shook his head, “How can it be that easy? Unlike your plan, His Majesty didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he asked me to treat you, preferably directly. Your plan didn’t succeed.”
Gu Qingxue touched her snow-white chin. “Yes, His Majesty is indeed more difficult to deal with than I thought. However, it doesn’t matter. Even though I didn’t succeed on my first try, I didn’t fail either. I still have a chance.”
Judge Wu looked at Gu Qingxue disapprovingly. “If you pretended to be sick at the start, His Majesty could still believe that you were really sick in the heart and not feeling well. However, if you continue to feign illness, His Majesty will inevitably suspect the truth of the matter. Once His Majesty discovers the problem, you will be charged with the crime of lying to the emperor!”
Gu Qingxue blinked her eyes calmly. “There’s no need to make a mountain out of a molehill. This matter is far less complicated than you think. If I’m not mistaken, His Majesty should already be suspecting that I’m putting on an act.”
Judge Wu’s face immediately stiffened. He looked at Gu Qingxue uneasily and asked, “Really? What should we do then?”
“Judge Wu, there’s no need to be nervous. Actually, whether I’m really sick or if I’m pretending to be sick, it’s not important. The most important thing is to see what His Majesty thinks.” Gu Qingxue explained unhurriedly.
Judge Wu seemed to understand Gu Qingxue’s meaning, and he looked at her deeply. “You mean that His Majesty doesn’t care about these small details?”
Gu Qingxue nodded. “His Majesty is just waiting for me to make a move. As long as I can prove that I’m more important than Noble Yin’s maternal family and the truth of what happened back then, His Majesty will naturally believe me.”
Judge Wu was enlightened, and he understood Gu Qingxue’s words. “In other words, you need to let His Majesty know that you are worth it.”
“The heart of a ruler is unfathomable.” Gu Qingxue could not help but sigh.
When Judge Wu heard Gu Qingxue’s lamentations, he snorted coldly. “I think you’re about the same, but you still dare to scheme against His Majesty. You’ve really eaten a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall.”
“Your are so unpleasant to hear. His Majesty and I are not scheming against each other, we are just using each other. I asked His Majesty to help me, and I will naturally let His Majesty taste the sweetness of it. I’ve troubled you for today’s matter, so I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll take my leave now.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she got up and was about to get out of the carriage..
