He had not recovered all this time because the imperial physicians in the palace did not dare to say anything when they found out about the problem. They did not dare to give Rong Xiaotian any nourishment.
After all, men were very fragile in this aspect. If they were not properly nourished, it would cause the opposite effect.
“Of course. Your Majesty is still young. Of course you can,” Gu Qingxue said.
Rong Xiaotian’s eyes brightened, and he nodded without saying anything. “Good! If that’s the case, then no matter how much suffering I have to endure, I will endure it!”
“In that case, I’ll have to ask Your Majesty not to eat any pills or meat for the next three days. We’ll proceed with the next step of the treatment after you’ve cleansed your body of the foul aura. Gu Qingxue said.
Rong Xiaotian immediately frowned, “No meat? Is there a need for that?”
‘Naturally, there was no need for that.’
Gu Qingxue answered in her heart. On the surface, she explained cautiously, “Of course it’s necessary, Your Majesty. This is only the beginning. If Your Majesty can’t even abide by this, then you might as well give up.
In fact, Rong Xiaotian would be fine as long as he did not take any pills.
However, Gu Qingxue thought about how she was trapped in Jing City because of an imperial edict and could not leave, she had to think of a way to get it back for herself.
Rong Xiaotian was the emperor, so she could not offend him openly.
However, it was not a problem for her to trick him a little.
Rong Xiaotian thought of his harem and finally gritted his teeth and agreed,
“Alright then. Lady Gu, you can enter the palace again in three days. Kang Fujiang, send Lady Gu back.”
“Yes, this way please, Doctor Gu.” Kang Fujiang smiled until the wrinkles on his face piled together. He bent down and bowed, then raised his hand to Gu Qingxue and made a gesture of invitation.
After Gu Qingxue took her leave, Kang Fujiang led her out of the palace.
Kang Fujiang looked at Gu Qingxue, his eyes full of admiration and respect.
“Lady Gu, you’re really amazing. I’ve been serving His Majesty for so long. Every time His Majesty asks the new imperial physicians, they all know nothing about the art of immortality. This is the first time I’ve seen someone as amazing as you.”
“It’s just some prescriptions left behind by my master. When the time comes, it will depend on His Majesty’s cooperation. Gu Qingxue calmly faced Kang Fujiang’s compliments.
In this palace, people like Kang Fujiang were wily old foxes who had been in the palace for many years. Now that she was in power and the emperor valued her so much, Kang Fujiang naturally had to rush up and say a few good words.
However, Gu Qingxue would not let down her guard against him just because of a few words from Kang Fujiang. Her attitude toward him was still neither humble nor overbearing, and she always kept a certain distance.
Kang Fujiang also realized this, and his gaze toward Gu Qingxue became more profound.
Before Gu Qingxue could leave the palace, a palanquin came from the other end of the marble road.
Gu Qingxue looked at the palanquin and immediately noticed something.
It was different from the palanquins that ordinary harem concubines sat in. This palanquin was painted with gold and even the clouds on the surface were woven with gold thread. The people responsible for carrying the palanquin were not ordinary porters, but a group of well-trained secret guards.
Gu Qingxue had seen strong secret guards like Ji Yan and Liu Yi before, so she knew very well how strong secret guards walked different from ordinary people. Their footsteps were very steady, but they would not make much noise. This was a major characteristic of strong inner energy.
Other than in Rong Zhan’s residence, this was the first time Gu Qingxue had seen someone with so many powerful secret guards..
