Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers
Chapter 175: The Queen Mother's Relatives Who Want to Become the Queen (4)
When Gao Shaofu learned about this, he was handling government affairs in the imperial study. He frowned after listening to the report from the eunuch beside him.
Given Gu Shutang's personality, he would probably call someone over to establish his authority. Gao Shaofu thought that Chang Yingxiu's identity had not been thoroughly investigated yet, so he directly sent a message to the princess to find another imperial physician.
Musk Moon had no choice but to bring back an old doctor.
"It seems that this female doctor Chang has some skills that His Majesty is so fond of her."
Gu Shutang frowned, obviously dissatisfied. He waved away Musk Yue beside him, stretched out his wrist, and asked the old doctor to take his pulse.
After her previous struggles in the plane, she now has a high degree of freedom in the plane. She doesn't have to do everything according to the plot, and naturally she is too lazy to do some trivial actions to annoy the heroine.
She just needs to act out her character at the right time, use her vicious nature, and help the male and female protagonists in a self-defeating way.
The old doctor knew that Gu Shutang was in good health after taking her pulse. She kept crying out for a headache probably to win the sympathy of the two palace officials. He didn't dare to expose her and only prescribed some tonics to calm her mind and nourish her body.
When the empress dowager heard that the imperial physician had been summoned to the East Wing Hall, she directly invited Dr. Cheng over to inquire about Gu Shutang's condition. Dr. Cheng did not dare to offend Princess Jiaping, who was deeply favored by the empress dowager, and simply made an excuse that the princess had a headache because she did not rest well last night.
As for the princess's physical weakness caused by excessive sexual intercourse, the old doctor could not tell.
Princess Jiaping was unmarried and had lived in the deep palace for a long time. Whether she had an affair with a guard or had a secret meeting with her lover during a palace banquet, it was not something that a mere imperial physician like him could expose.
Not long after Doctor Cheng returned to the Imperial Medical Bureau, he was invited by the eunuchs in the imperial court to appear before the emperor.
Old Doctor Cheng originally thought that the dragon was not feeling well, but Gao Shaofu asked about Gu Shutang.
"Why does the princess have a headache?"
Old Doctor Cheng didn't dare look directly at the emperor and licked his upper lips. "The princess didn't get enough rest, and she was a little tired, so she had a headache. I have prescribed some medicine for the next few days. If the princess takes it on time, she will be fine."
Princess Jiaping was fine to begin with and could "recover" without taking the medicine he prescribed, so Old Doctor Cheng naturally dared to make this solemn promise in front of His Majesty.
Gao Shaofu paused writing, remembering how, under the influence of the drug, he had dragged her along for hours last night, even pulling her off the bed and onto the table...
Perhaps it was because the girl was too delicate, and his reckless behavior last night made her sick. He asked the old doctor Cheng to go down, and then asked the eunuchs around him to take some jewelry and fine silks from his private storehouse and send them to the east wing where Gu Shutang lived, as his apology.
After Gao Shaofu finished handling government affairs, it was already dark. He returned to the palace, wearing only his pajamas, and quietly walked past the servants in the palace and came to Gu Shutang's room.
When he came, he was thinking about the results of the secret guard's investigation. The drugging incident had nothing to do with Gu Shutang. It was a court official who took the risk of drugging in order to curry favor with him. Gu Shutang was just innocently implicated by him.
That court official was not a clean person. He bullied men and women, plundered the people's wealth, and allowed the evil servants in the mansion to oppress the people. Gao Shaofu had long wanted to deal with him.
This time, the drugging was just to advance Gao Shaofu's plan to deal with him and confiscate his property.
But Gao Shaofu was a little puzzled. Since he ascended the throne, he had been attacked by many people, including those who drugged and poisoned him.
The medicine given to the court official was just an ordinary aphrodisiac, and the dosage was not heavy. He had been given similar aphrodisiacs before, and the effect went away after taking a cold shower.
How could he be so irrational last night?
"His Majesty?"
Gu Shutang saw Gao Shaofu standing beside her bed, and hurriedly got up from the bed and wanted to salute him, but was stopped by Gao Shaofu.
"No need to be so polite. I heard you were feeling unwell today. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Gao Shaofu saw a storybook that Gu Shutang had stuffed under his pillow. Gu Shutang was in such a hurry when he stuffed it in that he didn't stuff it completely under the pillow, leaving only a small corner of it exposed.
It was nothing more than some sour books about talented men and beautiful women written by down-and-out scholars. Gao Shaofu didn't care about it and pretended not to see it.
"Yes, the subject has gotten much better after taking the old doctor's medicine."
Seeing that she was wearing only a thin undershirt, Gao Shaofu pulled up the quilt that had slipped down for her. He sat beside her and accidentally touched her cold arm, frowning.
She should ask the imperial physician to prescribe some conditioning prescriptions and take good care of herself for a while.
Gao Shaofu hid this thought behind his serious face and planned to ask the old doctor Cheng to come over again another day.
Gao Shaofu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you want Dr. Chang to come over and take your pulse today?"
"Yes, I heard that Dr. Chang is very skilled, so I asked the maid to invite her."
"Is this the reason why Your Majesty came here to question me?"
Gu Shutang bit her lip stubbornly and looked straight into the man's face.
"Put aside those little thoughts of yours. Chang Yingxiu's medical skills are as good as those of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Hospital. He is not a slave for you to vent your anger on."
Maybe she is her sister's daughter or her niece.
Gu Shutang is Mrs. Gu’s daughter who came later in life. She was born the year Mrs. Gu’s eldest daughter, Gu Shuwan, got married.
Gu Shuwan married the then crown prince Gao Kaiji. Crown prince Gao Kaiji was the empress dowager's eldest son and the eldest legitimate son who was highly regarded by the late emperor. He was much older than Gao Shaofu.
Many years ago, the late emperor was deceived by a traitor and mistakenly accused the crown prince of treason. He ordered the capture of the crown prince, who died in a foreign land.
The Crown Princess and her daughter, who was less than one year old, disappeared, and the Empress Dowager and Gao Shaofu, who was only five years old, were confined in the palace.
Chang Yingxiu is most likely the daughter of the missing prince, his niece, and also Gu Shutang's niece.
Gao Shaofu didn't want Gu Shutang to hurt her relatives because of her momentary willfulness, so he warned her coldly.
"Let it go this time. If there's a next time, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am now."
Gu Shutang's face turned cold. She pushed away Gao Shaofu's hand on her quilt and lowered the bed curtain on her own.
Ignoring his unpleasant expression, she ordered him to leave. "Your Majesty's words, I will keep them in mind. It's late at night now, and it's inappropriate for you and me to be alone in the same room."
"Otherwise, my reputation will be in jeopardy."
"Your Majesty, please leave quickly so as not to disturb the Queen Mother."
"Cousin, I'm afraid you're confused. How can we be innocent?"
"Since you're not feeling well, cousin, you should rest early. Don't waste your brain reading those nonsense books all day long."
Gao Shaofu's hand froze in mid-air, but he did not lift the bed curtain when Gu Shutang was angry. He just took a quick look and left through the window.
Are you alone? Can't stand being in the same room?
Haha, they have already done what they should and shouldn’t do.
Where does the clean reputation come from?
The whole world belongs to him. As long as he wants, no one will dare to say a word against him even if he stays in her bedroom every night.
