Jin Zijin, once back, immediately told Gu Youyou about what happened today.
Gu Youyou was incredibly surprised. She knew King Jin had taken an interest in Searcy, but hadn't all gone quiet thereafter? She thought King Jin's interest was merely momentary, so why was it mentioned again now?
Gu Youyou narrowed her eyes and also guessed that it was the Empress who told Madam Lu about Searcy. Perhaps, the Empress knows everything about Searcy's past by now?
Fortunately, everyone from the Ghost Doctor Family has perished, and after so many years, even if she knows Searcy belongs to the Ghost Doctor Family, she has no proof, so there's no worry about her troubling Searcy because of her identity.
The problem now is that the Empress wants to arrange a marriage between Searcy and King Jin.
As an Empress, if she's determined to make Searcy a concubine for King Jin, even the Emperor might not be able to dismiss her without giving offense.
