Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

If the people involved look back, they will blame it all on Gu Qinghe.

How could a helpless girl like her avoid the danger of such things?

Prime Minister Li's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he even began to feel some resentment towards Shao Wei.

Didn't he act so affectionate that day in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why did he leave her alone in the capital to face these jackals and tigers?

Prime Minister Li felt itchy in his heart and his eyes fell on Gu Qinghe several times, but she seemed to know what was going on and avoided his gaze accurately every time she raised her head.

Although he felt bitter in his heart, Prime Minister Li had to endure it.

In what capacity does he express his concern?

It was clear that not long ago, in this very same position in the Golden Palace, every word he said was aimed at forcing her into a dead end.

His shoulders slumped and Prime Minister Li stopped talking.

The emperor looked at Gu Qinghe, and she briefly recounted how she diagnosed that Princess Wu was poisoned and how she devised a plan to bring Princess Wu back from the hands of the King of Wu.

Jing Zhao Yin was somewhat puzzled. "Doctor Gu, do you mean that you had already guessed that the poison in Princess Wu's body was caused by the King of Wu?"

The question was not very polite, but Gu Qinghe still looked up at him.

"I am a doctor. I learned medicine to cure illnesses and save lives. It doesn't matter to me who poisoned Princess Wu. All I need to do is help her detoxify."

"Then why did you choose to bring Princess Wu back to the capital without telling the King of Wu?"

Princess Wu seemed to be about to speak, but Gu Qinghe gave her a soothing look and said slowly, "The poison in Princess Wu's body is not so easy to cure. Even if the antidote is developed, it is still unknown whether the person can survive after taking it. I naturally don't have the power to take risks, so I told King Wu and the nanny who took care of Princess Wu about this."

"King Wu told me to treat her without worry, but Nanny hopes that the princess can return to the capital. If the poison cannot be cured, it would be a pity for her to die in the capital."

"Madam's request, and my treatment has had some results, Princess Wu discussed with me after she woke up, hoping that I could help her return to the capital," Gu Qinghe smiled. "I am a woman, so I naturally cannot bear to hear other women suffer, and I cannot bear to see such a deep affection being betrayed. I was soft-hearted for a moment, and I am standing here today."

Jingzhao Yin was not King Wu's man, and he asked this question purely out of curiosity. After Gu Qinghe answered, he did not insist on finding out anything wrong, but quietly withdrew and went to ponder.

Things have come to this, and even if the emperor wanted to protect the King of Wu, there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh softly, "The King of Wu and I are brothers, and I never thought he would become like this."

He said to Lord Qi and Princess Wu, "This marriage was granted by me personally. I will definitely give the Qi family an explanation."

Mrs. Lin, who was kneeling beside, seemed a little weak and swayed. Lin Shiqiang hurriedly supported her. The couple waited for the emperor's response with red eyes.

The emperor sighed, "I have sent someone to bring the King of Wu back to the capital. I will never tolerate any of these things."

After that, he asked Lin Shiqiang, "You said that Dr. Lu was imprisoned by King Wu. Where is he now?"

Lin Shiqiang was just a middleman who helped out. After King Wu hid the people, he knew nothing about it.

So I could only shake my head honestly.

"Your Majesty," Princess Wu said softly, "The person is already dead."

She and Gu Qinghe never made eye contact from beginning to end, but she knew what she needed to do.

"That woman was first imprisoned in the palace. Later, when King Wu went to his fiefdom, he sent her there first and settled her down. But not long after arriving at the fiefdom, she found an opportunity to commit suicide. King Wu thought that I had killed her, so he poisoned me and wanted me to go to the underworld to apologize to her."

"But I am lucky enough to have met Dr. Gu. Now I can stand here and expose his crimes one by one."

No one doubted the truth of her words. Even Gu Qinghe, who knew the truth, was slightly distracted by the sadness in her expression.

The emperor seemed to really believe that Doctor Lu was dead. He sighed softly, "Dr. Lu is a skilled doctor. She has earned a good reputation for her good deeds over the years. The Chen family collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. I wanted to spare her life. When she was missing, I thought she was escaping and chose to turn a blind eye and not have anyone investigate thoroughly."

"Now it seems that this is really fate."

Gu Qinghe lowered his eyes, with endless coldness in them.

It was his fate to see a ghost. As expected of a man who could sit on the throne, he was more sincere than anyone else when it came to hypocrisy.

One day, she would tear off the masks of these hypocritical people one by one, drag them to kneel before the tablets of their fathers and brothers, and kowtow to the tablets and confess their sins.

……

The matter of King Wu was finally settled. The emperor ordered that after King Wu was brought back to the capital, the matter would be handed over to Shao Xingjian to handle.

Even if the death penalty can be avoided, it is difficult to escape punishment of life imprisonment. The lightest punishment is to be demoted to a commoner or sentenced to exile.

Gu Qinghe was not worried about this. If King Wu was spared the death penalty, she would have plenty of ways to make him suffer a fate worse than death.

After coming out of the palace, Shao Xingjian was busy with other things and had no time to see her off. He wanted to ask someone to send Gu Qinghe back, but she refused.

As soon as I came back, I told He Shumin that I wanted to go to He's house. I haven't had the time to go there yet. I'm sure Uncle He and Aunt He must be very worried. Today is a good day and I might as well go to He's house and have fun with them.

After leaving the palace, Gu Qinghe discovered that Prime Minister Li's carriage had not left yet.

Prime Minister Li stood in front of the carriage and seemed to be waiting for someone. When he saw her coming, his eyes lit up and flickered for a moment, but he still walked towards her, "Qing..."

"Doctor Gu." The voice of Princess Wu behind him interrupted Prime Minister Li.

Gu Qinghe turned around, and Princess Wu lifted the curtain and smiled at her, "You're in a good mood today, why don't you go to Qi's house and sit for a while?"

Without any hesitation, Gu Qinghe smiled and got into the Princess Wu's carriage without even looking back at Prime Minister Li.

When they got on the carriage, Princess Wu curled her lips and said, "Is Prime Minister Li trying to make things difficult for you again? He is really good to Li Qiulian. Li Qiulian has her eyes on Shao Wei. If it was someone else, Prime Minister Li would have tied him up and married him to Li Qiulian."

Gu Qinghe smiled and didn't respond.

Princess Wu also felt that mentioning these two people would make her feel a little unhappy, so she didn't say much.

When they were almost at He's residence, Gu Qinghe remembered Pingyang's plan to go to Lianzhou, so he smiled gently at Princess Wu, "Lianzhou is a very good place. I've been there once before when I was traveling with my master. I heard from the princess that you will leave in two days. I don't know if I will have time to see you off. I wish you and the princess a pleasant trip in advance."

Princess Wu was a little dazed by the word "Madam". After a moment, she also laughed, and the tiredness in her eyes faded a lot. "Thank you."
