Chapter 945: Are You Crazy to Want to Take Poison in Front of Me?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The news of Gu Nuo’er being poisoned couldn’t be hidden from Gu Yihan’s ears.
Soon, the emperor found out about this news.
After returning to the palace at night, Gu Yihan directly summoned Ye Siming to the imperial study to reprimand him.
The child had just changed her clothes at the Qiushui Palace and had no choice but to rush over.
Just as she walked out of the imperial study, she heard Gu Yihan shouting inside—
“Ye Siming, I asked you to protect the princess because I want you to protect her in every matter.”
“Why was she accidentally poisoned?! You let her put herself in danger. If it wasn’t for Bai Yi, I would have cut off your head!”
She could tell that Gu Yihan was furious.
Gu Nuo’er quickly wanted to push the door open and enter.
However, she was stopped by Eunuch Chunshou.
Chunshou shook his head gently and said softly, “Your Highness, please wait. If you go in now, I’m afraid you won’t be able to resolve His Majesty’s understanding of Marquis Yongye.”
A hint of worry appeared on Gu Nuo’er’s round and tender face.
Her father’s temper was very bad. Would Elder Brother Siming be able to explain things clearly?
Ye Siming’s calm voice came from inside.
“Your Majesty should know that over the years, I’ve valued the princess’s life more than my own.”
“This time, she vomited blood and fainted. I can’t absolve myself of the blame. I’m willing to be punished in the same way.”
Suddenly, Gu Yihan shouted in shock, “Marquis Yongye, what are you trying to do? Put it down!”
A commotion came from inside.
Chunshou hurriedly pushed open the door. “Your Majesty!”
Could it be that Marquis Yongye wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate the emperor?!
However, the moment the door opened…
Gu Nuo’er and Chunshou saw Gu Yihan grabbing Ye Siming’s wrist tightly with both hands.
Ye Siming was also holding a bag of medicinal powder in his hand.
Gu Yihan scolded angrily, “Chunshou, quickly come over and press Marquis Yongye down. He wants to take poison!”
Panic flashed across Gu Nuo’er’s watery eyes. She ran over and hugged Ye Siming’s arm, not letting go.
“Elder Brother Siming, what are you doing?!”
Chunshou also hurriedly came up and pulled Ye Siming, persuading him, “Marquis! You mustn’t do this!”
Gu Yihan stood at the side with his hands on his hips, panting heavily. There was still anger in his eyes, but he was a little surprised.
He knew that Ye Siming was cold and ruthless by nature.
However, he didn’t expect him to be so ruthless!
Because he felt that he hadn’t protected Gu Nuo’er well, he actually wanted to take poison himself!
Gu Yihan couldn’t help but scold, “Brat, how many lives do you think you have?! Are you crazy to want to take poison in front of me?!”
He hadn’t really want to sentence Ye Siming to death.
This was because in the entire Great Qi and even the entire world…
There weren’t many people who were so skilled and loyal.
Gu Yihan just wanted to vent his temper.
Unexpectedly, this kid was so decisive.
If he hadn’t stopped him just now, Ye Siming would have already taken the packet of medicinal powder.
Compared to everyone’s panic, Ye Siming’s expression was calm.
“Your Majesty, this poison is ineffective on me, but this matter is indeed my negligence. I’m not someone who refuses to admit my mistake, so I’ll punish myself in the same way.”
Gu Nuo’er hugged Ye Siming’s arm tightly and didn’t allow him to do this.
She looked at Gu Yihan, her watery eyes filled with the childishness of protecting her wolfie.
“Father! How can you blame Elder Brother Siming for such a thing?! I don’t want you to punish him!”
As the child spoke, she pouted aggrievedly. “Elder Brother Siming treats me the best. If you blame him, I’ll… I’ll…”
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She looked like she was about to cry.
Gu Yihan was afraid that his daughter would be unhappy.
