Sitting on the emperor's throne is not an easy task; one might become infatuated with beauty or commit foolish acts, but in reality, it does not mean one lacks ability.
Now, having suddenly discovered a clue, how could he not investigate further?
After such a long time with no progress in his condition, Dugu Han had already thought of many possibilities.
"Ha!" He let out a cold laugh, filled with helplessness, sadness, and anger.
He carefully scrutinized those around him; there were only a few close to him. Who could it be?
As an emperor, he was naturally suspicious, and now everyone who had come into contact with him was placed under close observation.
At that moment, Queen Wang hurriedly rushed in, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead, her cherry-red lips trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, how are you? If something happens to you, what should I do?"
Her delicate demeanor evoked sympathy in Dugu Han, causing a slight ache in his heart: "I am fine. Cough cough, you don't need to worry." She was the woman he had cherished for many years.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself. Otherwise, what should I do?" Queen Wang's shoulders shook as she sobbed: "What about me and Lier?"
Unavoidably, Queen Wang had always presented herself as fragile in front of Dugu Han; who would have thought of the cunning behind this woman?
Who would have imagined that she was the one who wished for Dugu Han to disappear the most? Only if Dugu Li inherited the throne would she become the Empress Dowager and no longer have to heed anyone's gaze.
A fierce expression unexpectedly appeared on her palm-covered face, but all of this was hidden from Dugu Han's sight.
Dugu Han felt an uncontrollable softness in his heart, yet his reason remained intact. With narrowed eyes, no one could tell what he was thinking: "Queen, you should return for now; I am tired."
His tone carried an unspoken weariness and helplessness.
Queen Wang took a handkerchief, her eyes filled with tears. "Your Majesty, you should listen to the physician. This is what I should do, Your Majesty. I will wait for you to get better." Her long eyelashes were adorned with glistening tears, and at nearly forty years old, she looked as if she were in her twenties. Such delicate actions appeared exceptionally harmonious on her.
She walked lightly, glancing back three times with a reluctant demeanor that anyone would find hard to resist.
After sending off Queen Wang, Dugu Han lay quietly on the bed, his mind surprisingly clear. Suddenly, he spoke softly, "Liu Gonggong, have I made a mistake?"
At some point, a figure resembling a eunuch appeared by his side. The man had graying hair but few wrinkles on his face. Holding a whisk, he stood motionless at Dugu Han's bedside.
He was none other than Liu Gonggong, one of Dugu Han's most important confidants over the years. Liu Gonggong was the godson of Liu Qingxi.
"Perhaps I really was wrong!" Dugu Han sighed heavily. "After decades of friendship, you are the only one who can speak the truth to me."
Dugu Han did not expect much from Liu Gonggong; he simply wanted to express his feelings and find someone to listen. "Check the medicine sent by the Imperial Medical Institute."
As long as he could uncover the truth about this matter, he would show no mercy.
A cold light flashed in Dugu Han's eyes, and his commanding presence vividly portrayed the essence of an emperor.
This was the true nature of an emperor; even if he might be confused about certain matters, when it came to himself, heads would roll without him even blinking an eye.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Gonggong swiftly vanished in an instant, as if he had never been there at all.
At that moment, if anyone had seen him, they would not have believed that the seemingly ordinary Liu Gonggong was actually a master of extraordinary skill.
Indeed, how could Dugu Han leave himself with no way out?
An hour later, Dugu Hao suddenly visited Liu Qingxi. "Miss, miss, there's someone outside looking for you." Chunyu rushed in, slamming the study door open.
"What’s going on? Isn’t it normal to have visitors? It’s not like you’ve never seen one before," Liu Qingxi said with a slight frown, scolding her.
Chunyu was flailing her arms, stammering, "But this person, this person, he..."
This person was simply too handsome, wasn’t he? He was breathtakingly perfect from every angle. His eyes were as dark as the vast ocean, cold enough to draw one in and make it impossible to escape. His thin lips were incredibly seductive, and his tall figure stood confidently against the wind, clad in imposing black attire.
The maids of the Liu Family were practically ready to scream!
Liu Qingxi's son-in-law was also good-looking, but when facing a lady, he wore a gentle smile like warm jade, gliding softly through one’s heart like a gentle breeze.
Even when he was expressionless in front of them, having seen how he acted around the lady made them unable to feel afraid of him.
However, this man evoked both fear and an irresistible urge to get closer.
It was no wonder that even the carefree Chunyu was about to swoon.
"Is there something you need?" Liu Qingxi looked up from a pile of blueprints.
"N-no, he wants to see you."
"Alright then, please bring him to the study for discussion!" This was Liu Qingxi's recent working space and had hosted many important figures.
Today would naturally be no different. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Chunyu dashed away like a gust of wind. In less than a moment, she hurried back.
The hurried footsteps revealed her unease. Liu Qingxi pressed her forehead, wondering if she had failed in her education. Was it really just because she saw a handsome man? It seemed she needed to train her composure.
The steady sound of footsteps resonated with Liu Qingxi's heart, each step aligning with her heartbeat in an incredible harmony. Liu Qingxi slowly raised her head.
What followed was a tall figure, clad in black boots embroidered with golden patterns, complementing the chilling aura emanating from the man in the Black Brocade Robe.
Looking at his face, Liu Qingxi couldn't help but admit that nature's masterpiece was too perfect, flawless to the point where she found herself entranced for three seconds. No wonder Chunyu was so unsettled.
However, she had Yang Yichen, whose unique handsomeness brought her unparalleled excitement. He alone filled every corner of her heart, leaving no room for anyone else.
Liu Qingxi's subtle change in expression did not escape the sharp eyes of the man before her, but she quickly composed herself. "This young master must be here regarding the construction of a house, right? Please take a seat!"
She glanced at Chunyu. "Aren't you going to prepare tea for our guest?"
Then she adopted a businesslike demeanor. "You can make any requests; we will do our best to accommodate your design preferences."
Having received many clients, Liu Qingxi had even prepared different style templates.
Just as she was about to hand over the templates, the man spoke: "Please renovate the Heating!"
His words were concise, without any unnecessary descriptions. Just as rumored outside, Dugu Hao had such a cold temperament. But only he knew that this was merely a facade.
