Chapter 66: Real or fake and reporting back to the palace
Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu didn’t ask anything so Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan no longer say a word. So, even though Housekeeper Cao and the Emperor’s personal eunuch wanted to know his diagnosis, they can only watch in tears while Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan is writing his prescription because they are lacking in courage to ask.
“Send Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan outside.” Xiao Tianyao said, so Housekeeper Cao immediately approached Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan to send him away from the Xiao w.a.n.gfu. Housekeeper Cao’s heart was as curious as a cat, but he didn’t dare to show it and just really sent them out.
After they left, Xiao Tianyao felt very tired, but he saw Lin Chujiu’s face looked a bit pale so he couldn’t help but say: You’ve done well.” The result of her actions are always far better than he expected, that is why he is very reluctant to take someone else as his w.a.n.gfei.
For others, it seems he changed but fear not because it’s not for intimate reasons.
“Thank you … …” Lin Chujiu said, but she really couldn’t help but yawned in the middle so she immediately blocked her mouth with her hands.
Her eyes that slightly squint and her lips that opened wide made her looked very stubborn and spoiled like a cat. However, with such action, a person wouldn’t be able to stop himself from wanting to pull her into his arm to cuddle and rub her head many times.
Xiao Tianyao doesn’t really like touching someone else hair, but seeing Lin Chujiu’s fragile and cute appearance, his heart… … somehow really wanted to touch her!
Perhaps, the pressure of events was too much for her. She couldn’t stop from yawning and her eyes got teary because of it. And at that moment, her teary eyes looks very beautiful, but she doesn’t know it herself so she simply continues to say: “Thank you w.a.n.gye for the praise.”
Seeing that Lin Chujiu is very different from the rumors, he realized that the Emperor really had sent him a good stuff. So, Xiao Tianyao’s moods turn good and said: “When Housekeeper Cao came back, tell him to bring you to the treasury so you could pick a few things that you want.” Well, this woman is his wife, so even though the people from the mansion knows that he doesn’t allow her to just do whatever she wants, at least the people from the mansion know when he wasn’t stingy.
“Is that my reward?” Lin Chujiu blinked and a tear falls down from her cheek. Right at that moment, surely a person would really want to come forward and wipe it for her.
“Mmm,” Xiao Tianyao just simply said while looking at the trace of her tear because he doesn’t know what’s wrong with what he said.
“Thank you, w.a.n.gye.” Lin Chujiu immediately raise her hand and wipe the tear from her cheek. When she wiped her tear, Xiao Tianyao quite regretted it so he recovers his line of sight, although… …
He really doesn’t know what is actually he is regretting about.
“Ahem… …” Xiao Tianyao slightly cough, he doesn’t know how he will divert his thoughts so he just seriously said: “To keep yourself healthy, you don’t need to meet any guests starting tomorrow.” Now that his goal has been reached, Lin Chujiu no longer need to continue her hard work because he’s afraid that if she really dies, he won’t be able to find someone like her.
“Oh … …” Lin Chujiu secretly felt relieved.
Finally, she no longer needs to “meet the guests”. After all, right around this time, she felt her cheeks were very stiff because of too much smiling just to cope up those n.o.ble women. And tonight, she felt so tired and dizzy so she really doesn’t have much energy to deal with Xiao Tianyao.
The dark circles under her eyes are now very obvious, so it means she doesn’t have any good rest recently. And because of that Xiao Tianyao no longer want to stay and just left after saying: “Have a good rest.” However, saying those words before leaving only made Lin Chujiu stupid and stunned in the chair for a long time.
“Did w.a.n.gye just show his care for me?” Is the sun now rising into the west and set in the east?
No, no, it should be, does the moon now coming out during the day, right?
“w.a.n.gfei, w.a.n.gye has been very concerned about you,” Zhenzhu said when she saw Lin Chujiu looked very confused. She actually wanted to laugh but she doesn’t dare so she just continues to say: “w.a.n.gye even let you enter his treasury to pick some things… … that they had gathered during the war in the South and North these past few years. There are a lot of good stuff from there, such treasures that even the Emperor doesn’t have. So, w.a.n.gfei you should try to pick out the good one.”
From the bottom of her heart, Zhenzhu was only trying to tease Lin Chujiu to make her happy. But honestly, she can see that Prince Xiao was paying more and more of his attention to Lin Chujiu. Although Zhenzhu really doesn’t know if it’s only to compensate Lin Chujiu’s hard work or she is actually inside his heart.
“Really?” When Lin Chujiu heard Zhenzhu’s words, Lin Chujiu’s dizzy brain suddenly return to normal. So if she will combine what happened some time ago and the Emperor’s multiple a.s.sa.s.sination plans. Lin Chujiu now finally understand that… …
Xiao Tianyao seems really have a couple of great piece of chess in his hands. And her bad luck is only a part of making his piece in the front sink.
However, thinking about it, being a cannon fodder has some benefits too.
Lin Chujiu yawned, she felt very tired and lazy to rethink about how many times Xiao Tianyao had used her. So she just decided to robbed every good stuff that Xiao Tianyao had in his treasury to compensate for her injury and stressed in mind… …
Well, Lin Chujiu admits that her little mind is not that fragile, so it’s basically just her disappointment. Anyway, she doesn’t hold any hope to Xiao Tianyao, so it doesn’t really matter.

When Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan left Xiao w.a.n.gfu, he immediately went to the palace to report. c
“Huangshang (Emperor), Princess Xiao is not sick, but was actually poisoned.” Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan was very anxious, so he almost buried his head in his chest while reporting.
After all, he is very unlucky to get involved in such a big mess, so he knows his life can no longer remain in peace.
As a doctor, his greater fear in his line of work is when he doesn’t know if he could return back alive in his home.
“Poisoned? Xiao Tianyao poisoned her? For what?” The Emperor knitted his eyebrows and shake his head, then said: “No, no that’s wrong. With his pride and temper. He would rather split Lin Chujiu in half with his sword or strangle her to death, but he would never use poison.”
With Xiao Tianyao’s ident.i.ty and power, he would rather split Lin Chujiu’s body because no one will dare to question him anyway. So, why would he bother to beat around the bush and use poison on her?
“Princess Xiao is definitely not poisoned by Prince Xiao, because the poison inside her needs to acc.u.mulate for at least ten years or more before the result will shows, just like today.” Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan doesn’t really plan to explain more, but at this moment, he really cannot hide it.
“Ten years? Then, someone from the Lin Family poisoned her?… … Who would have thought that Lin Furen have such a good skill.” The Emperor immediately understand the situation, so he coldly snorted.
With such revelation, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan didn’t even dare to take a breath. After all, he cannot afford to offend Lin Xiang or Lin Furen.
“So based on your observation, do you think Xiao Tianyao knows about this? Or does Lin Chujiu knows it?” The Emperor simply ask. He doesn’t care whether Lin Chujiu lives or dies anyway.
“Since the beginning up to the end, Prince Xiao didn’t ask anything, so he definitely knows about it. As for Princess Xiao?”Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan frown and tried to recall Lin Chujiu’s reaction: “It seems Princess Xiao doesn’t know anything because she didn’t show any trace of anxiety, so she definitely doesn’t know that she will die soon.”
No one is not afraid of death, even the Emperor himself is afraid to die. So, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan will not believe that someone as young as her wouldn’t be scared if she knows that she was poisoned and will almost die soon.
“How cruel of you Tianyao.” The Emperor sneer and then squinted his eyes, but he actually doesn’t know what to think.
On the other hand, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan who didn’t receive any further command to the Emperor. Only tried to stand up straight, even though his legs are already getting numb… …
After a few more minutes, the Emperor seems like had thought of something because his eyes suddenly got widen… …
