Su Mingyu originally wanted to ask what had happened exactly, but before she could open her mouth, Leng Ziyue caught sight of what was in Su Mingyu's hand. With just a glance, he said indifferently, "Pregnant? Congratulations."
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. "It's not me."
Saying so, she handed the paper in front of Leng Ziyue. "It's my younger sister's medical report. Could you please take a look, Young Master Leng?"
Leng Ziyue didn't waste any words. He took the report and glanced at it. "The fetus is in good condition, and so is the mother."
Su Mingyu nodded. "Thank you, Young Master Leng."
Looking at her expression, Leng Ziyue frowned. "As far as I know, you and your younger sister have never gotten along. Why do you look relieved to know that she's pregnant and in good condition?"
Unexpectedly, this man was quite observant. Su Mingyu smiled and tried to brush it off. "Anyway, she's my younger sister. If she's pregnant, she can marry the King of Yu earlier. Then there will be less trouble around me, won't there?"
Leng Ziyue lowered his eyes and looked at Su Mingyu. His dark eyes showed disbelief.
But Su Mingyu didn't really care if he believed her. She just said casually, "How are you, Young Master Leng? If you need anything, just tell us. As long as we can do it."
"No need..." Just as the words were on the tip of his tongue, Leng Ziyue suddenly looked at Su Mingyu. "But there is one thing... Maybe you can help me."
Hearing this, Su Mingyu became a bit interested. "Young Master Leng, just speak your mind."
"I went to the palace today and saw my friend." When Leng Ziyue said this, his face looked a bit ugly. "And I also found out that she has never been sincere to me. She kept me by her side just because of my excellent medical skills, which were very convenient for her to use."
Su Mingyu touched her nose. "How do you want me to help you, Young Master Leng?"
Leng Ziyue glanced at Gu Ruobai and then said seriously, "I want to drug the emperor."
"What!" Su Mingyu widened her eyes in disbelief. "Do you know what you're saying?"
Leng Ziyue nodded. "Of course I know what I'm saying. Because that woman's child is definitely not the emperor's. So only by drugging the emperor can I expose that heartless woman in front of everyone by offering the antidote!"
Leng Ziyue's tone was very firm. Su Mingyu looked at Gu Ruobai with a troubled expression.
Gu Ruobai's dark eyes darkened slightly, and his handsome face looked extremely gloomy. "Do you know that this matter concerns the safety of the whole country? I can't help you."
Su Mingyu knew that Gu Ruobai would say so.
Although Gu Ruobai seemed to be a very cold person, he cherished every inch of the country.
So Su Mingyu was certain that Gu Ruobai would never do anything that would harm the country.
After thinking for a while, Su Mingyu stepped forward to comfort Leng Ziyue. "Young Master Leng, there are other ways to make that person pay for her crimes. The emperor's health is of great importance. We can't make jokes about it."
Leng Ziyue frowned and looked at Su Mingyu. "I must make her lose face completely."
This was the first time Su Mingyu saw such obvious emotions on Leng Ziyue's face.
She didn't know what that woman had done to Leng Ziyue to make him so resentful.
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Can you tell me who that person is? So that I can help you think of a way."
Leng Ziyue frowned. "That person is Concubine Chen."
Concubine Chen?
Su Mingyu was a bit surprised. She was the emperor's most favored concubine in recent years.
"Do you know who the father of Concubine Chen's child is?"
This time, Leng Ziyue actually shook his head.
Su Mingyu looked at him in surprise. "Then how can you be sure that Concubine Chen's child is not the emperor's? You know that it's the royal bloodline. We can't make jokes about it."
"Because every time the emperor visited her, Concubine Chen would ask me to feel her pulse." At this point, Leng Ziyue's face became even darker, as if he had a deep grudge against this matter. "She was eager to have a child to consolidate her position as the favored concubine. She once begged me, but I refused."
Su Mingyu supported her chin with her hand and thought for a while. "We need to plan this matter carefully. Don't be in a hurry. I'll tell you as soon as I come up with a good idea."
Leng Ziyue nodded, but his attitude was still very firm. "I'll give you ten days. If you can't come up with a good idea, I'll do it my own way."
Su Mingyu really wanted to say that his idea was too reckless, but looking at the hurt in Leng Ziyue's eyes, she didn't say anything in the end.
Before leaving, Leng Ziyue bowed to Gu Ruobai. "Sorry for saying something that made you uncomfortable just now. The poison I mentioned won't cause any harm to the emperor's body. It will only create the illusion of poisoning. I still know the importance of this matter."
After saying that, Leng Ziyue turned around and left. His back looked extremely desolate.
Su Mingyu watched him from afar and couldn't help but sigh.
This Leng Ziyue must have been deeply hurt, or he wouldn't have come up with such a desperate method.
"Are you really going to help him?"
Gu Ruobai could tell from Su Mingyu's expression that she definitely wouldn't just sit back and do nothing.
Sure enough, Su Mingyu nodded. "I want to help him."
Anyway, both she and Gu Ruobai had received his kindness. Now that he was trapped by love, Su Mingyu still hoped to help him a little.
Seeing this, Gu Ruobai could only nod. "Okay, but let me put it bluntly. I won't allow him to do anything that will harm the country."
"Okay, I know." Su Mingyu didn't expect Gu Ruobai to agree so readily. She was very happy and stepped forward to hug Gu Ruobai. Then she casually ordered Mu Yi, "Mu Yi, help me find someone to keep an eye on this Concubine Chen. I want to know who she contacts most frequently."
Mu Yi was already used to being ordered by Su Mingyu, so he nodded and disappeared into the yard.
Watching his leaving back, Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows and smiled. "He's clearly my secret guard, but now he's almost yours."
Su Mingyu grinned at Gu Ruobai. "Yours is mine. There's no need to argue about this."
Looking at Su Mingyu's beaming face, Gu Ruobai helplessly and lovingly pinched her nose. "Don't always think about other people's business. I've already asked a fortune-teller to choose a good date for our wedding, and the wedding clothes are already being embroidered."
Su Mingyu only remembered that Gu Ruobai had mentioned this to her, but she didn't expect him to act so quickly.
Although Su Mingyu talked tough, she suddenly felt a bit flustered at the thought of really becoming a wife.
Seeing the strange look in Su Mingyu's eyes, Gu Ruobai pulled her back onto his lap and frowned at her. "At this point, if you dare to tell me that you don't want to marry me, I might just devour you."
