Chapter 741: Chapter 735 Treating Tian Jizi’s Illness

Gu Youyou followed Jin Zijin out of the Imperial Palace with trepidation. Once outside the palace, he immediately stuffed her into a carriage and then climbed in himself.

Gu Youyou was startled and said, "It’s broad daylight, what are you doing? It’d be terrible if someone saw us."

Jin Zijin, with a cold expression, yelled outside to the person driving the carriage, "Move, quick!"

As his words ended, with a snap of the reins, the carriage started to move.

All the way, Gu Youyou was distracted and then realized that the coachman the Lin Residence had arranged for her was nowhere to be found, and the maid waiting by the carriage had also disappeared. Now, the person sitting on the carriage driving it was someone she did not recognize.

But the carriage was still hers, and she had no idea how her aunt would explain it.

"So you’re just sending me back like this?" Gu Youyou looked up and asked.

Within Jin Zijin’s deep gaze, it seemed as though a flame was flickering. Without another word, he pressed down on her, supporting the back of her head with a kiss that was almost like biting and gnawing.

Momentarily stunned, Gu Youyou felt that this punishing kiss was only making her uncomfortable. She pushed at him and discovered that her whimpers of resistance were useless.

It wasn’t until he had vented his frustrations that he released her now-swollen lips, not waiting for her to say anything before holding her tightly again.

Gu Youyou felt that he was somewhat agitated today and understood that he was worried.

In a soft voice, she said, "The Emperor didn’t do anything to me. It’s just... I wanted to take a look at the Flame Pool and conveniently gather some water to study. I was caught by him in the process. He didn’t say much after asking me about it and just had me play chess with him."

Jin Zijin said, "Don’t mention him." He seemed even more agitated now. "I don’t want to hear about him right now."

"Alright then!"

Gu Youyou sighed and leaned lightly in his embrace.

"Where are we going now?"

"We shouldn’t return to the Lin Residence just yet. I will take you to Sanqing Temple."

"Sanqing Temple?" The thought of that disgusting State Preceptor being there made Gu Youyou feel uneasy. "Can we not go?"

"Not go? Wouldn’t that be deceiving the sovereign?" said Jin Zijin.

Indeed, he had taken her out of the Imperial Palace on the pretext of bringing her to Tian Jizi to treat him, so they had to make a trip to Sanqing Temple.

The carriage stopped shortly before reaching Sanqing Temple, and Jin Zijin got out, mounted a horse that was outside.

Once they arrived at the temple, he dismounted and invited Gu Youyou out of the carriage.

Carrying her medicine box, Gu Youyou followed behind Jin Zijin and entered a room behind Qianyuan Hall with him.

Inside, an old man with white hair lay quietly sleeping on a bed, while a young, rosy-lipped, white-toothed Taoist sat at the bedside, fanning the elder with a fan.

Seeing Jin Zijin come in, the young Taoist quickly stood up and said, "Senior brother, after much tossing and turning, the master has only just fallen asleep."

Jin Zijin nodded, "Alright, you can go down first."

Yixi put down the fan, gave Gu Youyou behind Jin Zijin a surprised look, and thought to himself: The senior brother rushed out in such a hurry, how did he bring a young woman here?

Jin Zijin softly explained, "She is the famous Doctor Gu from Jisheng Hall. I’ve invited her to treat our master."

The girl with the medicine box surely looked like a doctor.

But... "Does master have an illness?" Yixi asked, surprised.

Jin Zijin pointed to his head and said, "Would master confuse you and me if he weren’t ill?"

Yixi suddenly understood, "Right, right, the master is ill, it’s indeed time for a good check-up. Today I turned into Brother Yue, and there’s nothing I did that didn’t vex the master. I’ve hardly had my share of scolding from him." He then bowed to Gu Youyou, "Thank you for your efforts, Doctor Gu."
