On the first day Gu Yunsheng became emperor, he made me a Noble Consort.
Along with the edict came two bowls of medicine.
One was an abortion potion.
The other was poison.
Gu Yunsheng held me in his arms, his voice indifferent.
“Wanwan, Anning has been poisoned. You're her younger sister, so you're the only one who can test the medicine for her and help her recover.”
But the imperial physician had clearly said that testing poison by ingesting it could let the toxin invade the brain, causing memory loss in mild cases and leaving the victim an imbecile in severe ones.
Later, the look in my eyes grew more and more unfamiliar to Gu Yunsheng.
The day the medicine test succeeded, he could finally have the beauty he desired.
But instead, he clutched my hand, consumed with anguish.
“Wanwan, I'm begging you. Please look at me with the eyes you used to have.”
