Chapter 1120 - 1114: It Spread
Madam Li appeared dejected, kneeling at the feet of the Empress, lamenting, "My Lady, there is no choice but to let that poison doctor try. Whether he can become the Emperor or not, King Jin must not be left without an heir. Although that female poison doctor is dangerous, it’s better than having no hope at all, right? All medicine has a poisonous side, even ordinary sickness can have risks when taking medication."
Gu Youyou was pregnant, and naturally, the Empress could not stay calm. Hearing what Madam Li said, she was very tempted.
Although it was dangerous to place the poison doctor near her son, the thought of possibly holding her grandson made her disregard the risks.
The Empress’s eyes darkened, saying, "Very well, let’s do as Madam Li suggests. However, we need to think about how to do this legitimately, asking Gu Youyou for someone doesn’t seem appropriate."
Madam Li smiled slyly, saying, "Your Highness, you’re thinking too hard. Don’t forget, Searcy was previously known as Lu Xueying. It’s not up to Gu Youyou to agree, but Madam Lu and General Lu.
General Lu is returning to the court in these two days, why not bring this up during the victory feast when everyone is in high spirits?"
The Empress brightened up, feeling that Madam Li was getting shrewder with age.
Indeed, she proved the saying true that experience comes with age.
