The King of Louyang has become like this and can't withstand any more turmoil.
The madam personally sent Song Pan'er and others back to the city.
Gu Yanzhun, Gu Jinzhi and Lao Yezi stayed behind to take care of Lu Yang Wang.
Gu Jin sat beside King Luoyang's bed all along.
The old man broke out in a sweat, and since he hadn't brought any clothes with him, he borrowed the host's ordinary Daoist robe. With his sandalwood hairpin and blue Daoist robe, he actually had a bit of an immortal air about him.
He sat in a small room on the west side drinking tea, with a small medical box beside him, fully equipped with medicines and instruments.
Gu Yanzhen came in and saw the effect of the medicine, feeling familiar: this is very similar to the medicine box that Lao Yezi usually carries, both in shape and workmanship.
He asked: "Dad, do you have another small medicine box like this?"
"It's not mine." The old man said, and then closed his mouth without explanation.
Gu Yanwen was puzzled in her heart, but she didn't dare ask.
He sat down too and quietly accompanied the old man.
The room next door was dimly lit, and Gu Jing looked at the person lying on the bed, thin as a sheet of white paper, pale without any vitality.
The hand of King Louyang hung down at his side.
Gu Jinzhi grasped that hand.
His hands were slender and clean, but at this moment they were icy cold. The chill seemed to emanate from the distinct joints of his fingers, and his fingernails had a slightly pale sheen.
Gu Jinzhi tightly wrapped one of his hands in both of hers, as if trying to give it some warmth.
On the other side, Gu Yanwen asked Old Master Gu, "Should we go to the palace and tell Empress Dowager about it? We've already failed in our duty of care by injuring Prince Luoyang; if we hide it again, it would be deceiving the Emperor."
The old man remained silent.
After a while, the old man said: "Wait until he wakes up and then talk. The empress's body is also weak, why bother her for nothing?"
The imperial physician came to the palace, but his treatment was no better than that of Old Master Gu, and in fact even worse.
There are Master Gu and Gu Jinzhi here. If King Luyang still can't wake up, then it's the will of heaven to take him away.
Gu Yanwen did not dare to speak again.
Waited until the afternoon sunset in the west. Outside was a brilliant red glow.
The rosy glow of dawn casts a warm light on the window frame, and the room is filled with a soft, rainbow-colored mist.
Gu Jinzhi held onto the hand of Luoyang Wang and gradually felt his fingers slightly move.
She suddenly raised her eyes and saw that King Luyang's eyelids were flickering, as if he wanted to open his eyes, but felt heavy.
Finally, he was too tired and gave up, his eyelids sinking heavily again.
"Zhong Jun?" Gu Jin called out softly, her voice as gentle as coaxing a child. "Zhong Jun, Zhong Jun, you need to open your eyes..."
She spoke softly and hinted to King Luyang in his ear.
At last, she saw Luoyang Wang's eyes open.
Gu Jin let out a sigh of relief.
It's already dusk, and the house is dimly lit.
Louyang King opened his eyes, unsure whether it was blurred vision or a muddled brain, and looked at Gu Jing's gaze. There was an inexplicable sense of astonishment.
He stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
This smile startled Gu Jin: every time Zhu Zhongjun teased others or himself, it was always this kind of smile.
Gu Jinzhi dislikes it very much.
Her chaotic emotions had just been sorted out with great difficulty, and were now stirred up again by this smile.
Slowly, Luoyang Wang closed his eyes again.
Gu Jin did not make another sound.
She sat there quietly observing every expression of his.
The light in the room was dim, but Gu Jing had been stupid for a long time and she got used to it, so she could see clearly.
After a moment, the person lying on the bed raised their hand slightly and arched their back. They felt a sharp pain in the back of their head. They took a deep breath, and then remained still again.
After a while, he finally felt where the pain was coming from and raised his hand to wipe it off his head.
What was touched, however, was white silk.
His hand stopped, as if he was surprised at what he touched.
Then, his hand returned again.
Throughout the whole process, he didn't open his eyes again. Just seeing Gu Jinzhi was like a child seeing a ghost, using closing his eyes as a way to escape.
The pain in the back of his head was gnawing at him, and he took another drag on his cigarette.
When inhaling, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up and his eyebrows furrowed, which was not a habit of Luoyang Wang.
If it were so painful, King Heluo would have cried a noseful of snot and tears long ago.
Gu Jin watched as his heart gradually turned cold.
The heart that was softened by that fool slowly hardened again.
A sharp pain shoots through somewhere in my heart.
No matter what happened, Gu Jing was certain that the fool was gone...
Simple movements, simple expressions, Gu Jin couldn't guess who was lying there. But that silly guy who had been holding onto her and didn't want to leave for a moment, and smiled brightly whenever he saw her, had already left...
Her gaze remained fixed on the person on the bed, but her fingers curled up slightly.
That person knew he was injured and stopped struggling, his body motionless, eyes wide open.
Seeing Gu Jin still sitting there, he was apparently hard to understand.
He opened his eyes wide, wanting to see clearly if it was really her.
"Strange..." he muttered softly.
Gu Jin unconsciously bit her lip.
"Gu Jinzhi?" He still spoke with a hint of self-mockery, his voice husky yet childish. After clearing his throat, he asked again, "Gu Jinzhi?"
Gu Jinzhi and her past life look exactly the same.
She was like this when she was young.
Gu Jin Zhi...
When she heard these three words, Gu Jinzhi found it very amusing.
She indeed laughed out loud twice. The laughter was short and stopped quickly.
She stood up and walked out with big strides.
She told her grandfather and father, King Luyang woke up, then turned around and returned to his own chamber.
She gathered her things and said to Ziyuan, "I'll go back and tell the Emperor about what happened with Wangye."
The courtyard sunset falls, dyeing the peach branches a deep red.
Hua Qin looked at the sky and said, "The curfew in the city is almost here. Seventh Miss is alone on her way back, Old Master and Third Master are worried..."
"Some people just follow... " She pointed to the two young servants beside her.
The zither is already broken, there's no need to say anything more.
Gu Jin returned on horseback and entered the city.
It's almost curfew in the city. If I enter the palace now, I'm afraid it will disturb the Empress Dowager. Gu Jin returned home.
Song Pan'er saw her return and was overjoyed: "Is the king better?"
Gu Jinzheng forced himself to be strong and smiled: "I'm already awake."
Song Pan'er let out a big sigh of relief and muttered "Amitabha" several times.
Gu Jin smiled slightly.
"Mother, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first." Gu Jinzhi said, "Don't worry about the king's affairs for now, I'm exhausted, I won't have dinner, I'll just go back and sleep."
Today is a whole day, who isn't carrying their heart?
Song Pan'er certainly knew that her daughter had worked hard.
No one is more worried than Gu Jin.
Although she didn't quite understand why her daughter wouldn't stay at Baiyun Temple to accompany the King of Luyang, instead rushing back home overnight.
At night, Gu Jing lay in bed, her mind racing with memories. A little bit of melancholy rose to the surface, overwhelming her.
"Gu Jinzhi, as a person, you can't be without temper. Otherwise, you'll just be a goodie-goodie all the time. Being gentle and kind is a virtue in daily life, but if someone crosses your bottom line and you don't fight back, then you're the stupidest thing in this world!"
"Gu Jinzhi, everyone else is busy seeking fame and fortune. Why do you have to be so noble and give up on this evaluation? If you don't strive for it, you'll spend your whole life with this kind of virtue. Go ahead and fight for it, you won't fail! I'll help you, remember, I'll always help you clean up afterwards, just go ahead boldly."
"Gu Jinzhi, the dean and deputy dean are a big difference in level. Your strength is there, why do you want to be inferior? You cured Old Cheng, it's your best connection, think about it carefully. This world is so innocent? Back then, that dean also squeezed out others to get his position! When he gets promoted or retires, how many years will you have to wait? Your life is just waiting and waiting!"
"Gu Jin Zhi..."
"Gu Jin Zhi..."
Her first half life was always accompanied by shouts of "Gu Jinzhi, Gu Jinzhi" in her ears.
Gu Jinzhi, don't be a good old man. Wait until she's no longer a good old lady. That voice said again, you have ambition; wait until she has ambition, that voice said again, struggling for power and profit, can't make a name for yourself in this life, playing tricks, using cunning, why are you afraid? I'm standing behind you to support you, we won't fail!
She never failed because Zhu Zhongjun was too clever and no one could outsmart him.
Gu Jizhen is really capable.
Finally, Gu Jin's life direction lost its original course.
Zhu Zhongjun became the helmsman, and he steered the ship forward with Gu Jinzhi.
Step by step, he pushed Gu Jinzhi, a woman of traditional Chinese medicine background, to the highest position in the national health system.
It wasn't until she came back to her senses that Gu Jin realized that for most of her life, what had she been living for?
She was once in love with her first boyfriend, and they would talk about each other's ideals.
The man told Gu Jinzhi that he wanted to open a coffee shop in the university town, sell coffee during the day, and stroll around the campus with Gu Jinzhi at night, under the moonlight; or go to the self-study room to read books, and spend his whole life away from worldly affairs.
At that time, Gu Jing's ideal was to be the boss of a home coffee shop.
I happened to go to the Chinese hospital for part-time work and saw a few patients.
They all come from high-ranking families, but they don't have a strong desire for power like Zhu Zhongjun.
Gu Jinzheng can forget anything, but he cannot forget his tone and intonation: Gu Jinzheng...
Couldn't be more familiar.
Her heart felt numb, all sorts of emotions surged up, and she suddenly had a blank mind.
All night long, Gu Jing didn't sleep.
The next day, got up early and prepared to enter the palace.
Song Pan'er was very afraid and said, "The Empress Dowager will definitely be angry." After finishing speaking, she looked at her daughter's face, "You didn't sleep well last night? Do you want me to send someone to take you back to the White Cloud Temple?"
She only thought Gu Jin was worried about Luoyang Wang.
Gu Jin smiled: "No need, I'll still go to the palace. I won't tell Empress Dowager, only Emperor. If she finds out later and we didn't report it, it's on Emperor's head, we'd just be guilty of dereliction of duty."
She knew that the emperor would not tell the empress dowager either.
Ke Gujin and the Gu family did not want to take on more.
She calculated that it was almost time for the emperor to finish his morning court session and went into the palace.
