"What did you give me to drink just now?"

"With your wisdom, Father, you must have guessed the real purpose of my son and Dean Zhang coming here tonight."

As Gu Beichen spoke, he handed over the small white porcelain bottle in his hand, which contained half a bottle of spiritual spring water.

"Don't tell me, this thing was given to you by that girl?"

"Father is indeed the Supreme Lord. Nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes. This spiritual spring water was indeed given to me by her.

"When she heard that the Empress Dowager had fainted, she gave the remaining spiritual spring water to me, asking me to bring it into the palace for the Empress Dowager to drink.

"But now it seems that I think Father needs it more than Grandmother."

Early this morning, before Gu Beichen followed Jiang Baitong into the palace, Shen Wanwan specially took out a full bottle of spiritual spring water from the space and told him to bring it to the empress dowager.

When he arrived at the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager had just taken her medicine and gone to bed, so he had to put the things away first, thinking of going over later to feed her personally.

"You rebellious son, can't you just talk properly? Do you really want to piss me off to death before you're satisfied?"

"I, your son, have never had such thoughts. Father, please do not wrongly accuse a good person. You still need to rule the Nanyao Kingdom for another twenty years.

"You've just taken it, so you should be able to feel its benefits. If combined with other medications, it will be enough to support your father in his continued dominance of the court for another twenty years."

Emperor Tianchen was furious, "Rebellious son, why don't you just say fifty years? Aren't you afraid that your father won't be able to wait for you to return?"

"Twenty years is too long? Then fifteen years will be fine, but it can't be any less. I have to give him time to train him well before sending him back, right?"

"you!"

"Father, you wouldn't want me to follow in your footsteps, would you? If you weren't so incompetent back then, how could Mother have been murdered? All these years have passed, and you still haven't even seen the shadow of who the real person behind this is."

"You are truly my good son!"

Emperor Tianchen's face turned dark and he was shaking with anger. He kept saying to himself, he is Qing'er's biological son, don't be angry, don't be angry!

"No, what's wrong with the poison in your body? Is there really no cure?"

"As long as she's still alive, she'll definitely be able to find a way to detoxify me. So, Father, whatever plans you and the Empress Dowager have, you must end them, unless you truly wish to see your son die young."

Gu Beichen looked directly into Emperor Tianchen's eyes. He knew that they had already taken action, otherwise Yaoyao would not have said to him the four words that could hurt him the most.

He was very glad that his Yaoyao was not an ordinary woman.

She was smart and alert enough, had superb ability to identify poisons, and had a life-saving space at hand. She was not afraid of others playing dirty tricks, but she was afraid that her father and grandmother would use their status to oppress others.

Although he did not accept the actions of his father and grandmother, as Yaoyao said, he also understood their starting point. However, he was too lonely in the past years, and now he wanted to be selfish for once.

Emperor Tianchen's expression became complicated. "So, you decided to leave with her from the beginning just because she could cure the poison in you?"

"Your Majesty is right, if you think it will make you feel better."

"Rebel!"

"If Father likes to scold me, then scold me more. I'm afraid it won't be long before you scold me in person."

Gu Beichen was speaking when he suddenly changed the subject, "I just received a tip today that Luo Qingyue's true identity is very likely Princess Xihe of the Japanese Kingdom, but the authenticity of this news has yet to be verified."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianchen also calmed down, "She can endure it."

No one knows a child better than his father. If Gu Beichen was not absolutely sure about the authenticity of the news, he would not have mentioned it to him at all.

"All members of the Luo family have been imprisoned, but the spies from Japan have been active recently. There must be some big fish that have slipped through the net, perhaps in the court or in the harem."

When Gu Beichen said this, he suddenly thought of something and immediately stood up and walked out.

"It's late, I will go back first. Father, you should also go to bed early."
