The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1769 - 1856: An Immense Loss

To lose such a person, for Jiujiu, is to lose a friend as close as a sister, and for the country, it is also a great loss, a loss of a significant assistance.

Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, the Empress and Jiujiu both hope that person can be well. But even after trying a thousand different methods, the result is still futile. Even Yun Ge, the heir of Medicine Valley with the name of the Divine Doctor, looks mournful all day long.

Clearly, both Jiujiu and Yun Ge know in their hearts that both Dong Baowei and the Devouring God Gu within him are insolvable. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

It is said that the Heavenly Family is ruthless and the Emperor has no heart, but in front of Jiujiu, even Her Majesty the Empress is merely a wise mother.

Seeing Jiujiu so distressed over this, Her Majesty the Empress also feels heartache. Thus, she comforted Jiujiu until after a long while, Jiujiu finally managed to gather her spirits, "Enough, I won’t disturb you any longer, I’ll take my leave first, and you should not tire yourself too much."

The Empress watched as Jiujiu left, and only after Jiujiu exited the Imperial Study Room did the Empress let out a soft sigh and pick up the Imperial Pen once more.

Just as she was about to continue reviewing the memorials, she suddenly coughed up a large mass of black blood.

With a calm expression, she took out a light yellow handkerchief and wiped the black blood clean, yet her heart was filled with worry.

She had already had her Great Commander of the Hidden Guard investigate for a long time, but still, there were no clues.

She knew she was poisoned, and her health was deteriorating day by day. How similar was she to Dong Baowei?

But the problem is, to this day, she still doesn’t know where exactly went wrong?

The food and daily routine of the Empress had long been strictly guarded, that she could still be poisoned under such stringent protection seemed incredible. Therefore, Her Majesty the Empress believed that the poisoner must be someone close to her!

Close...

Her Majesty the Queen let out a cold laugh.

She already had a list in her heart and had recently been having the Hidden Guard watch those people to see if they showed any strange behaviors. But she didn’t know if these people were hiding too well or what, for even after being watched for so long, there was no progress...

At this moment, outside the Imperial Study Room, someone announced that the Eighth Princess requested an audience.

The Empress pressed her brow and then waved her hand, with a look of weariness, instructing them to let the Eighth Princess in to see her.

Lao Ba is older than Jiujiu, but her character is the most mediocre. Yet, at times, it is precisely this mediocrity that puts people at ease.

The Eighth Princess’s attire today was somewhat special. Originally, her style of dress tended to be plain, but today, she wore golden attire, which appeared splendid and magnificent.

Gold and yellow, these two colors are exclusive to the Royal Family. But inexplicably, upon seeing the Eighth Princess today, the Empress felt a sense of apprehension.

The Eighth Princess, as usual, greeted the Empress and wished her well.

In contrast to her intimacy with Jiujiu, the Empress seemed much colder towards the Eighth Princess.

"Why have you come?"

The Eighth Princess bowed her head and then respectfully presented a wooden box. "Mother Empress, I heard that you have been unwell lately, so I specially sought this Longevity Talisman for you."

The Empress’s tightly furrowed brows slightly relaxed, and her expression became somewhat softer, but only just.

Sometimes even the Empress herself couldn’t explain why she simply couldn’t bring herself to like this child?

Perhaps, it was because...
