"Miss, Big Sister Lv Hee left by the back door. I'm afraid that the wangfei isn't feeling well, so I'll have to ask Miss if you need another doctor to treat her." Hong Xiu said urgently.

"Then what are we waiting for? Get a doctor right now!" Gu Yaoyi looked anxious as she kept coughing because she was speaking too fast.

"Your health is not good, you don't have to worry about the matters of the Meditation Garden." Ling Xiao gently caressed Gu Yaoyi's back and helped her to calm down. He instructed outside the door, "Send your young lady back to rest, don't disturb her rest."

"But big sister …" Before Gu Yaoyi could finish her sentence, she started coughing again.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Ling Xiao's tone was gentle, but his eyes were chilling.

Gu Yaoyi nodded obediently. As she walked out of the study, she did not forget to tell Ling Xiao that she must get a doctor to treat Gu Jingyao. Only then did she leave with the support of Hong Xiu.

An hour later, within the Meditation Garden.

Gu Jingyao forced herself to sit up uncomfortably, preparing to drink the soup that Lv Hee had prepared.

The door was kicked open by Ling Xiao. A door that was worth a hundred taels of silver was broken into pieces like that.

"Lv Hee, go and report to Second Miss later. Your highness kicked my door until it was broken, so you have to replace it with someone new to live with. This residue can be used as firewood in the kitchen to save your highness the trouble of cutting firewood." Gu Jingyao quickly regained her composure and instructed Lv Hee with a straight face.

Listening to Gu Jingyao comparing him to a boatman, Ling Xiao's expression was ugly. However, when he thought about his purpose in coming here, he did not bother and walked towards Gu Jingyao in large strides.

"Please forgive me for not being able to pay my respects to Your Highness. May I ask why Your Highness has condescendingly come here?" Gu Jingyao asked indifferently, glancing at the medicine bowl on the table, "Your Highness has something to say. If this medicine gets cold, the efficacy will be reduced."

"This King will give you medicine. As long as you drink it, This King will release you from your confinement." "Era!" Ling Xiao said coldly.

As Gu Jingyao saw Ji Yuan walking over with a medicine bowl in his hand while giving her a meaningful glance, she understood Ling Xiao's intentions.

She picked it up and sniffed it carefully. Then, with a frown, she put the bowl down.

The soup was more than half spilled, the bottom of the bowl emitting an ear-piercing sound as it hit the table.

"Gu Jingyao, don't refuse a toast and eat a forfeit. If you don't drink it obediently, This King will make sure you drink it!" Ling Xiao Yu threatened.

"I really should let the hundreds of thousands of soldiers see the prince's mighty appearance. Besides threatening a woman, does the prince have any other abilities?" Gu Jingyao sneered and looked at Ling Xiao contemptuously. She was not afraid of enraging him at all.

"Gu Jingyao!" Ling Xiao shouted Gu Jingyao's name while grinding his teeth. His knuckles cracked from anger.

"What right do you have to threaten This King? This King only asks you, are you going to drink this medicine or not? "

"Thank you for sending the medicine, Vice General Ji. I still have some things to say to the prince. Please wait outside for a while, Vice General Ji."

Gu Jingyao ignored Ling Xiao's anger and pulled back her sleeves. After Ji Yuan left the room, she stared at Ling Xiao with a cold gaze as she questioned him:

"My lord, how much hatred and hatred do you have for me? You don't want me to give birth to your son, so you have many ways to do it. Even though you know how many injuries I have on my body, you still got someone to add a large amount of red flowers into the soup.

"Nonsense!" This is clearly a blood pill with a small dosage. However, it prevents you from having a child of this king, so where did the red flowers come from? This King does not know when you learned pharmacology. "

Ling Xiao said impatiently, "Don't think that just because you're stalling for time, This King will do as you wish."

"My wish?" Gu Jingyao sneered, and picked up the soup that Lv Hee had prepared, "My wish, for once in a while, is consistent with your majesty. If you drink this medicine, no matter how many seeds your highness left behind last night, there is no possibility for it to take root.

But I, Gu Jingyao, am not prepared to be a mother in this life, so please forgive me for not drinking the deadly red flowers prepared by the King. "

After Gu Jingyao finished her sentence, she raised her head and finished the soup in one gulp, causing her to frown.

However, since Lv Hee wasn't in the room, no one was able to pour her a cup of tea.

The bitter taste in her mouth caused her to be in a bad mood. She casually threw the medicine bowl on the floor and circled it a few times before she finally came to a stop. She almost fell to the ground.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. If I'm lying, Your Highness, it won't be too late for you to give me some red flowers."

Putting the medicine bowl down heavily on the table, Gu Jingyao's face suddenly darkened as she said angrily, "Your highness has never considered me as an imperial concubine, but don't forget that I'm Princess An Ping who married with Ping Marquis Mansion. If this bowl of red flower wasn't intended by Your highness, then please give me an explanation.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Jingyao for a long time. Then, he flicked his sleeves and left. He actually didn't say a word.

Lv Hee was afraid that Gu Jingyao would be hurt, so after Ling Xiao walked out of the room, she hurriedly bowed and rushed inside.

After receiving Ling Xiao's order, Ji Yuan went into the room and filled the two medicine bowls up, preparing to check them.

"Thank you for your reminder, Vice General Ji. I would like to ask Vice General Ji to personally investigate the origin of this bowl of red flowers." I don't want to die in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion without knowing the reason why. Gu Jingyao's body wasn't feeling well, and she didn't have much strength to speak, but her pleading eyes made people's hearts ache for her.

Especially after being rough with Ling Xiao last night, the bruises on Gu Jingyao's white face caused her to be even more tender towards him.

"This is what this general should do. Princess, please rest in peace." Ji Yuan bowed and took his leave, not daring to look Gu Jingyao in the eye to avoid causing trouble for her by disregarding etiquette.

After sending Ji Yuan to the door, Lv Hee confirmed that there was no one waiting outside. She quickly closed the door and went to Gu Jingyao's side.

"Mistress, how dare you speak to the Prince in such a manner? When this servant heard this from the outside, her heart jumped in fear. I'm just afraid that Master will suffer, but even if I die, I still won't be able to defeat the Prince. " Lv Hee patted her chest in fear.

"Go and pour me a cup of water. This medicine is so bitter." Gu Jingyao smiled bitterly. She was also afraid that Ling Xiao would use violence, but she could only bet that Ling Xiao cared about the relationship with Ping Marquis Mansion.

After Lv Hee went to pour the water, Gu Jingyao sighed and said, "Gu Jingyao, you fool, helping Ji Dynasty was probably the most correct thing to do in your life. But even so, if it wasn't for me today, that bowl of red flowers would have taken your life!"

In less than the time it takes to make a cup of tea, the news had already reached the Nichang Pavilion.

When Gu Yaoyi found out that Gu Jingyao didn't drink the medicine that she had meticulously prepared, she was angered to the point of smashing quite a number of tea sets.

If it wasn't for Ling Xiao discovering the change in the furnishings, he was afraid that there wouldn't be a single piece of good porcelain in the room.

"Damn Gu Jingyao, after getting beaten up, you sure have become smarter. You even have the guts to confront the prince. You really don't know your place!" Gu Yaoyi cursed in a low voice.

"Don't be angry, Miss. For a woman who only knows how to please men, it's not worth hurting her body." Hong Xiu persuaded from the side.

Gu Yaoyi took a deep breath and thought of the news from her lord, saying darkly, "You are right, it is not worth it to be angry for someone who is about to die." "Gu Jingyao, you can consider yourself lucky this time around. But after that, you will regret not dying under that bowl of red flowers that was specially prepared for you!"
