Hua Yueye glared daggers at him. "Eunuch Gao, your explanation seems rather far - fetched."
"Your Majesty, it was I who supported you all the way to where you are now. How could I ever harm you?" Gao Quan snorted and flicked his sleeves forcefully. "Your Majesty must have listened to someone's sweet whispers in your ear, and now you don't even trust us."
Saying this, Gao Quan knelt down and raised his hand to swear. "I swear I've never done anything like poisoning. If I did, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."
As he said this, Gao Quan didn't even blink an eye, looking extremely determined.
Hua Yueye suddenly wasn't so sure. Maybe this matter really had nothing to do with Gao Quan.
"Your Majesty, since Eunuch Gao has said so much, please stop suspecting him. Otherwise, it may chill many people's hearts." At this time, the Minister of Revenue sighed and stepped forward.
Hearing this, Hua Yueye's brows knitted into a small "chuan" character. He clenched his fists, glanced at Gao Quan, and said nothing.
All those ministers actually knelt down one by one, as if they were going to live and die with Gao Quan.
Well done, Gao Quan was really powerful. He could even get so many people to plead for him! He had bought over almost half of them.
Hua Yueye sneered. He felt a ball of fire in his chest that he couldn't vent. He suddenly flicked his sleeves, quickly stood up straight, and said, "Fine, all of you can leave. No one is allowed to mention this matter again!"
Leaving this sentence behind, Hua Yueye left with a gloomy face.
Gao Quan raised his eyes and laughed triumphantly. Just as he wished. Now, Su Qingwen was labeled as a monster and Hua Yueye as a fatuous king. Let's see what tricks they could play in the future.
Meanwhile, Su Qingwen opened her eyes. Since Doctor Zhang had managed to control the poison in her body, she could live a normal life now. However, the poison would flare up every once in a while.
"System baby, please save me, okay?" Su Qingwen could only turn to the system for help. She was a modern player after all. She couldn't just die because of the poison.
[System: I'm really sorry, dear. According to my display, this is one of your mission challenges. I can't provide you with any substantial help.]
"Why?" Su Qingwen was almost spitting blood again. When others time - traveled, their systems were so omnipotent. They either had incredible combat power, or were skilled doctors with miraculous medical skills, or could change into various forms.
She was so unlucky. This system was barely useful at all. Instead, it managed to anger her every day. Now, when she was about to die, this system actually just left her alone.
[System: Dear, but I can see your health points. Do you want to take a look?]
"What's that?" Su Qingwen asked weakly.
[System: Simply put, it can analyze your current physical condition and tell you how much longer you can live.]
It always felt that this wasn't a very auspicious thing, but now there didn't seem to be any other way. Su Qingwen swallowed nervously and nodded helplessly. "In that case, let's take a look."
[System: Okay, I'm doing a simple scan and calculation. Please wait patiently, dear.]
[System: The result is out. Your current health points are 60. According to the rate at which your health points are declining, you only have three months to live. During this period, you should cherish every moment.]
Su Qingwen lowered her head. She felt that she was really going to die. Only three short months, and everything would end.
She couldn't help but think that if she died like this, would this game end too? Would Hua Yueye disappear?
"You're awake?" A deep male voice sounded above her head, suddenly pulling Su Qingwen back to reality from her thoughts.
She composed herself, tried hard to hide her sadness, looked up at Hua Yueye, and smiled. "Yes, why are you here?"
"Just come to check on you." Hua Yueye observed her pale face and the bluish tint under her eyes. He couldn't help but be shocked. How could this happen? He could clearly see that Su Qingwen's health was deteriorating day by day.
"I'm fine." Su Qingwen continued to act strong, but the fact that she only had three months to live kept flashing through her mind.
She hadn't even had a good time here, hadn't seen enough of Hua Yueye, and now she had to leave in a hurry. It was really a pity.
"Hua Yueye, I have a request. Can you promise me?" Since things had come to this, Su Qingwen didn't want to waste time on useless things. Instead, she might as well enjoy the moment, go on a trip with Hua Yueye, and at least have some fun in her last days.
"Tell me." The man held her cold little hand. His heart ached slightly, and he said gently.
"I want to go on a trip with you outside the palace. I want to see the beautiful spring flowers. Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy." Su Qingwen closed her eyes, as if she could already smell the fragrant flowers.
"Okay." Hua Yueye reached out and hugged her in his arms. His heart sank. "But we have to wait until you're fully recovered."
"Ah?" Su Qingwen forced a smile. By the time she recovered, it would be too late. No, she would never recover. She only had three months. What could she do?
"No, I feel like..." Su Qingwen frowned slightly and was about to say something bad.
Fortunately, Hua Yueye quickly covered her lips with his hand. He shook his head and said, "Don't say it. I'll find a way to cure you. You just need to stay by my side. Don't think about other things. Do you understand?"
Su Qingwen looked at Hua Yueye, who was acting like a domineering CEO. There was a tinge of sadness in her heart.
If she died like this, she might never see him again.
"Okay." She hid all her feelings in her heart and silently leaned into Hua Yueye's arms, longing for his warmth.
Hua Yueye was worried about her. Su Qingwen's health couldn't wait any longer. And Gao Quan's words and deeds today made it seem that he wasn't the one who had poisoned her.
But Hua Xue'er was so sure. Could there be some misunderstanding? Thinking secretly, Hua Yueye decided to send someone to investigate.
After settling Su Qingwen down, Hua Yueye turned around and left.
He stood by the window, staring intently at the gradually darkening night. He put his hand to his lips and made a sound like a certain kind of bird.
Soon, a masked black - clothed man knelt silently behind him. "My lord, what are your orders?"
