Chapter 383 The Emperor's expression changed slightly.

A man's voice came from behind her. Su Lilu quietly withdrew her hands and turned around to look at the man. She saw that it was the man who had been staring at her.

He nodded slightly to himself, "Miss, the herbs inside are the most precious. No one except the Emperor and the Regent is allowed to touch them."

"Excuse me, I was just curious and wanted to take a look."

Su Lilu smiled, lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in them, and then reluctantly walked out of the inner room.

Earth Ganoderma!

I was just one step away from it, and that damned imperial physician really came at the worst possible time.

"Young lady, may I be so bold as to ask, does your mother look very much like you? Do you have any sisters who have lived in the Northern Desert?"

Just as Su Liluo was feeling regretful, she suddenly heard the imperial physician's question.

"What did you say?"

She wasn't sure if she had misheard. She had been daydreaming, but she vaguely heard the imperial physician ask her mother. Could it be that the imperial physician knew her mother?

"I asked if your mother looks very much like you, and if your mother has any sisters in the Northern Desert. Please forgive my impertinence, but it's just that you look so much like someone I know."

The man smiled slightly.

Su Liluo then raised her eyes and carefully examined the man. She saw that he had a regular appearance, kind eyes and gentle gaze, and did not seem like the kind of treacherous person.

So she asked, "Who is he/she like?"

If you want to ask yourself a question, you must first know about the other person's situation.

The man sensed Su Liluo's wariness, paused for a moment, and then smiled and said, "To be honest, you are my master. You look so much like my master, who has been missing for more than ten years."

Master!

Is this person my mother's apprentice?

Su Liluo was somewhat surprised.

She observed the man more carefully. Based on her intuition, she felt that he was not a bad person. Should she tell her mother the news?

If he knew that he was his master's child, would he help him?

After hesitating for a moment, Su Liluo finally decided to give him an ambiguous answer, "I see. My mother had no brothers or sisters. She died when she gave birth to me."

But coincidentally, my mother was also a female physician, and I learned my medical skills from the medical books she left behind.

"Your mother was a doctor?"

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement, and his gaze toward Su Liluo became more intense.

He couldn't believe there could be such a coincidence in the world. It was one thing for them to look alike, but for them to both be skilled in medicine.

He had a strong feeling that the woman in front of him was his master's daughter.

"yes."

Su Liluo nodded with a smile; she could already see the excitement in the man's eyes.

But just as she finished speaking, before she could say a few more words to the man, Gao Junning walked in from outside.

"Miss Su, what are you doing in there?"

Gao Junning walked in from outside, his tall and handsome figure glancing at the young imperial physician with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

This imperial physician is young and quite good-looking; could she possibly be...?

"He's introducing the medicinal herbs inside to me now, and there are some herbs here that I don't recognize."

Su Liluo told a lie with a faint smile, and the man nodded in agreement.

"I see."

Hearing this, Gao Junning nodded in relief.

"His Majesty has invited us to have lunch here. After we've finished sightseeing, I'll take you to try some of the imperial cuisine in the palace."

"Um."

Su Liluo smiled and responded.

Then he turned back and took a deep look at the place where the Ganoderma lucidum was placed.

She remembered this place; she would definitely take the Ganoderma lucidum with her next time.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Gao Junning brought Su Liluo to the palace of the Northern Desert Emperor and bowed to the Emperor.

"Rise, Junning. Is this the Miss Su that your father wants you to marry?"

The Emperor slightly raised his hand, then looked at Su Liluo.

Su Liluo also glanced at the Emperor. She saw that the Emperor of Beimo looked to be about the same age as Gao Junning, but his spirits were noticeably weaker.

His face was slightly pale, and he was weak and frail, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

However, his eyes were different from his complexion; his gaze was firm and deep, making him seem like someone who wasn't so simple.

"Yes, her name is Su Liluo."

Gao Junning generously introduced her to the emperor.

“Miss Su, you don’t need to be so polite. Junning is my cousin. If you marry him in the future, you can treat me as your cousin.”

The Emperor coughed and smiled gently.

"Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? I have some medical knowledge; may I take a look at you?"

Su Liluo asked tentatively.

She had just noticed an unusual red bloodstain on the handkerchief the Emperor had coughed on, and keenly sensed that the Emperor's illness might not be ordinary; there seemed to be some story behind it.

"You... can treat illnesses?"

As expected, the Emperor's expression changed slightly after Su Liluo spoke.

"Hmm, I wonder if Your Majesty can trust me?"

Su Liluo nodded slightly.

At this moment, Gao Junning, who was standing to the side, felt somewhat dissatisfied with Su Liluo's actions and said, "The Emperor's illness is being taken care of by the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, so you don't need to worry about it."

He had heard that Su Liluo's medical skills were quite good, and he didn't want her to treat the emperor.

“But the imperial physicians have been examining the emperor for so long, and his condition still seems very serious. Doesn’t that mean the imperial physicians can’t cure him? My medical skills come from the Great Liang Dynasty, and perhaps I can cure the emperor.”

Su Lilu deliberately spoke to Gao Junning, while secretly observing the Emperor's expression. She noticed a glimmer of hope flash in his eyes after hearing her words.

In an instant, Su Liluo had a guess in her heart: the Emperor of the Northern Desert and the Regent did not seem to be as harmonious as they appeared on the surface!

"Your Majesty is of noble birth and can be well cared for by the medicinal herbs of the Northern Desert. There is no need for you to trouble yourself."

Gao Junning's face turned cold.

"Alright then."

Su Liluo knew when to stop. She had said those things to test the Emperor's attitude and to find out about the relationship between the Emperor and the Regent.

Now that she has the answer, she naturally won't say anything more.

However, she secretly thought that perhaps one day she would have the opportunity to use this Northern Desert Emperor.

Since he is not of one mind with the Regent of the Northern Desert, perhaps this will be an opportunity for her in the future.

"Well, we should head back to our residence after lunch, so we won't bother Your Majesty any longer."

After a while, Gao Junning ate a few bites casually, then made an excuse to leave.
