Chapter 1240: Chapter 1235: Angry

Gu Youyou was suddenly alarmed and said, “Then isn’t it difficult to settle the charges based on these statements?”

The Emperor would not really execute all the officials of the Imperial Court, no wonder Jin Zijin, with his current power, still hesitates to take action against the Ducal Residence.

Such a deeply rooted and complex family cannot be eliminated recklessly; it must be done slowly, removing each branch one by one.

The Emperor, able to hold his throne under such circumstances, truly is a capable person.

But they do not have that much time, and old Yu Jizi is hiding somewhere with no news at all.

It would be best if they could remove the malignant tumor of the Ducal Residence before Yu Jizi appears.

“What do you plan to do now?”

Jin Zijin frowned and said, “The plan needs to be slightly altered; let’s first see what King Jin’s move will be.”

Gu Youyou nodded and said, “I’ll check on his condition again in a few days. He probably still hopes to be cured. He will come to me in three days; let’s just find a way to have him come to our house quietly for the treatment, we have everything ready at home.”

“Can it be treated?” Jin Zijin asked with a raised eyebrow.

Gu Youyou, with a smug look on her face, said, “Of course, I am the Divine Doctor.”

“How will you treat it?” Jin Zijin suddenly looked stern.

He had just heard her, focused solely on the century-long plans of the Ducal Residence generations, but had ignored the problem with King Jin himself.

The Ducal Residence had someone plot an attack, piercing King Jin’s ‘indescribable’ place?

Wow, she’s becoming bolder by the minute.

“Did you see his wound?”

Gu Youyou felt a dangerous aura emanating, shrank her neck, and hurriedly backed away.

“Well, I am a doctor, in order to make a diagnosis… ah!”

Jin Zijin was incredibly furious, feeling as though he was surrounded by jars of vinegar, sour enough to make his teeth hurt.

He grabbed her forcefully and asked in a deep voice, “So, you have seen it?”

Gu Youyou, tearfully, felt she had a surgery to perform, didn’t want to lie to him, and couldn’t even if she wanted to. She hoped he would support her work, although it might be hard for him to accept.

Even modern men might not all be able to accept it.

She understood that too.

Plucking up her courage, she said, “Yes, I have… seen it. If not, how could I suspect the Ducal Residence’s conspiracy?”

“Did you touch it too?” Jin Zijin’s face was growing darker.

Having decided to be honest, Gu Youyou had no need to make excuses anymore.

She sincerely answered, nodding, “Touched, I did touch it. But I wore gloves!”

She admitted her mistake actively, hoping for a lenient treatment.

Jin Zijin held her hand tightly, squeezing it until her bones ached.

He sneered with gritted teeth, asking, “Was it big?”

“Huh? Ah?” Gu Youyou suddenly felt her brain couldn’t keep up; his change of topic was too abrupt, making her feel completely unprepared, lowering her IQ by several percentage points.

“Didn’t catch that? Want me to repeat?”

Jin Zijin looked increasingly dangerous, she unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.

It felt like being caught cheating, though in her opinion, it really wasn’t anything serious. However, according to the ancient mindset, her actions were definitely counted as cuckolding him.

It was her oversight. If she could turn back time, she would still help King Jin with his medical issue, but she should have informed Jin Zijin beforehand, and it would be best if he could be present during the treatment.

She had underestimated the psychological resilience of ancient people.

But now that it had come to this, she had no choice but to betray her own principles once again.
