"This...?"
Old Imperial Physician hurriedly cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, please forgive this old subject's limited Medical Skills. I could only tell that Your Majesty had been poisoned, but judging from your pulse, there is indeed something strange about it."
Very few people knew about the sinister gu poison. Even he had only heard a thing or two about it.
Ye Beiyao's expression turned ugly. "Can it be cured?"
If he had truly been poisoned by gu...
At the thought of that woman, he felt like vomiting again.
Now, let alone that woman—even the other women in the palace, he no longer dared to visit.
The moment he saw those women in the harem, he felt sick to his stomach and lost all interest.
Old Imperial Physician's face was filled with shame. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have never seen this poison before. I will need to return and study it while consulting some records."
Ye Beiyao was silent for a moment. "I don't want anyone besides you to know about this. Understand?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. This old subject will obey your decree."
Even if His Majesty had not said anything, Old Imperial Physician would never have dared spread such a matter.
"This old subject will find a way to neutralize the poison as quickly as possible. Your Majesty, please take care of your health. You must not use Internal Energy for the time being."
Ye Beiyao waved his hand wearily. "You may leave."
After Old Imperial Physician left, the Emperor sat upright beside the bed and thought for a long time.
"Someone, summon Daoist Priest He."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Liu hurriedly instructed the guards outside to invite Daoist Priest He into the palace.
Half an hour later...
He Zhou knitted his brows and released the Emperor's wrist.
