The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

362 Revealing the Truth (Second Update)

A person can hide their skills, but not their illness. Gu Jiao, after taking the Empress's pulse, found her to be somewhat weak, but otherwise fine.

In other words, she was far from being in such a critical condition as to require medication from a Yan Country pharmacist.

She could not have gone merely for the sake of socializing.

Gu Changqing had said, that pharmacist was an outcast, always alone and seldom socialized with others, except for selling medicines.

So the Empress must have gone to buy medication today.

Nurse Cai came in with a tray of fresh fruits. Gu Jiao quickly glanced at her: "Nurse Cai, you look pale recently. Are you feeling unwell? Let me check you too?"

Nurse Cai was taken aback: "Ah, this...this..."

"Let her check." The emperor said to Nurse Cai.

"Oh." Nurse Cai, not knowing what was going on, took a look at the Empress who seemed usual, then walked over to let Gu Jiao take her pulse.
