His Majesty heard that the King of Luoyang was injured and his face slightly sank.
He fell silent for a moment before asking Gu Jinzhi: "Did you tell the Empress Dowager?"
"Not yet." Gu Jin replied, "Afraid that Empress Dowager would be heartbroken if she knew, I'll tell the Emperor first. After informing the Emperor, then tell the Empress Dowager..."
"No need," said the Emperor. "I will tell the Empress Dowager. I am not feeling well, let Grand Secretary Gu accompany you to take a look. Come back and tell me."
He had someone go and announce the arrival of Guo Yanwang.
The ruler of the world, when leaving the palace gate, must have a procession to clear the way, with all officials following. The emperor has never liked to go out alone, so he rarely leaves the palace.
The way of Gu Zhen is righteousness.
In a moment, Da Bo Gu Yan Tao arrived.
As soon as he heard that Luoyang Wang was in trouble, he was shocked and lost his color. He knelt down to the emperor: "I am guilty of death, let Wang Ye meet with great difficulties!"
It has nothing to do with him anyway.
The Emperor waved his hand, seemingly pleased with Gu Yantao's words, and said: "You go on my behalf, take Jinzhi with you. Also bring Peng Taishi and Zeng Taishi, they are skilled in treating external injuries. No matter what, come back immediately to report to me."
Gu Yanwu said yes.
They went to the Taiyi Hospital and called for a doctor. A group of people took the horse-drawn carriage prepared by the Taiyi Hospital and headed to the White Cloud Temple.
There was no gathering today, and the lively scene at the entrance of Baiyun Temple yesterday is gone, leaving only a cold and quiet atmosphere.
The Taoist temple also closed its mountain gate and stopped receiving incense offerings.
Gu Yanwu personally went forward and knocked on the door.
The little gatekeeper heard it was Lord Gu and immediately ran in to report.
Zi Wei Zhen Ren hastily came out to greet him, without even putting on his shoes properly.
He respected Guo Yanwang highly.
"Where is the king?" Gu Yanwu asked in a cold voice.
Zi Wei Zhen Ren hastily said: "In the wing room on the other side of Yun Ji Garden. Gong Lao followed me here."
Then the front head led the way and brought everyone to welcome them in the direction of Yunji Garden.
On the road, Guo Yanwang sternly questioned him: "The king entered the temple to burn incense, why didn't you send someone to follow him and let the king suffer such hardships? When the emperor and empress dowager blame you, can you bear it?"
Like training a junior person.
Zi Wei Zhen Ren did not dare to refute a single sentence and all obeyed.
Arrived at a small courtyard on the side of Yunji Garden. In the courtyard, an altar was set up, and about ten Taoist priests sat cross-legged reciting scriptures to pray for blessings for King Luyang.
Gu Yanwu's complexion improved slightly.
Mr. Gu and Gu Yanwen are in their respective rooms.
Hearing that his elder brother had arrived, Gu Yanwen hastily came out.
Gu Yan Tao nodded to him, his face stern. He went to see the King of Luoyang first. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he didn't dare stay for long, leaving behind Peng Taiyi and Zeng Taiyi to take his pulse and diagnose, while he himself came out from the side room.
"Is Father also here?" Gu Yan Tao asked Gu Yan Zhen.
Gu Yanwen said yes.
Gu Yan Tao took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions and went in to pay respects to the old man. In front of others, he didn't dare be unfilial.
Gu Jin followed him in.
The old man sat upright, copying something down.
He heard someone coming in and looked up.
He knew it was Gu Yanwu. He lowered his head and continued writing.
Gu Yanwu bowed respectfully and shouted "Father!"
The old man didn't answer.
Gu Yanwu's face became increasingly unsightly.
Gu Jinzhi didn't say a word.
"Father, I have come to see the King of Luoyang on orders." Gu Yanwu suppressed his anger and said, "I'll go attend to some business first, and then come back to serve you."
The old man just grunted and didn't even lift his head.
Gu Yanwu wanted to slam the door heavily when he went out.
In the end, thinking of all those people outside, I didn't dare.
He can't be half-hearted in his filial piety; otherwise it would be meaningless.
As soon as Grandpa left, Gu Jinzi called out "Grandfather".
The old man raised his eyes and looked at her. There was a hint of inquiry in his gaze, indicating for her to sit down.
"Luoyang Wang is so treacherous, how could you run back?" said the old man. "Is there something going on at home?"
"No." Gu Jin said, "He woke up, I just wanted to go back and tell the Emperor, so that the future Empress wouldn't find out and say that our family deliberately deceived her. Now... we're pushing the blame of deliberate deception onto the Emperor..."
She smiled slyly.
The old man's gaze became even more profound, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He probably didn't understand Gu Jinzhi's actions.
Gu Jinzhi asked him: "After King Luyang woke up yesterday, did he say anything else? Was medicine given to him?"
"He's been medicated," said the old man. "The back of his head was badly injured, and as soon as he came to, we applied medicine to his wound."
Then thought of something, wanted to say but stopped, and finally didn't say anything.
Gu Jin thought to himself that it was so treacherous, probably only his grandfather could control the blood. If Peng Taoyi and Zeng Taoyi came, they would likely be powerless too.
"I'll go take a look at him." Gu Jinzhi also said.
The old man nodded and said to her, "Don't let them bother me again. Just say that for half a month in Luoyang, I won't be able to move my body, can't stand the fatigue of traveling by horse-drawn carriage, and can't return to the city. Let them disperse on their own, and I'll take care of things here."
Very proactive in taking things on himself.
He is afraid that others will not take good care of him, and Luoyang Wang's condition has been relapsing. In the end, he would still have to trouble him, which is unnecessary.
The way of Gu Zhen is righteousness.
In the wing room of King Louyang, Zhu Zhongjun had already woken up.
He lay motionless, calmly gazing at the crowd in front of him.
It wasn't until he saw Gu Jinzhi enter that his gaze flickered for a moment.
It turned out that it was not his illusion, but Gu Jin really existed, and Zhu Zhongjun smiled.
Dr. Peng and Dr. Zeng took his pulse.
The two of them looked at each other and exchanged a glance. Peng Taigong then said to Guo Yanwang, "Guo Gonglao, when it comes to treating external injuries, you are more skilled than us. The prince's life is not in danger, he just needs to rest quietly for now."
Gu Yanwu also breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.
Zhu Zhongjun looked at him several times.
He seems to be thinking of something again.
Gu Yanwu stepped forward and spoke in a soft voice: "Your Highness, please rest assured and focus on recovering from your injuries. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are both very concerned about you. Once you've recovered, I'll come to escort you back to the palace to express your gratitude. You must listen to the doctor's advice..."
Still treating Zhu Zhongjun as a fool and coaxing him.
Zhu Zhongjun blinked and didn't speak, staring blankly at Gu Yanwu.
Gu Yan's scalp felt numb as he was stared at, as if his own secrets had been exposed. The gaze was complex, not like that of a foolish child.
He retreated a few steps back, leaving Peng Taizhen and Gu Lao to take care of Yang Wang together, and then took Zeng Taizhen back to the palace to report.
Zeng Taichun still had to take care of Emperor Xianfeng.
The king's injury is under control and in half a month he can set off back to Annan.
Gu Yanwu left. The Taoist priests in the small courtyard had also finished their rituals and went out, and the courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Gu Jinzhi and Old Master are in the side room.
She asked Old Man Gu: "Is Zǐ Wēi Zhēn Rén recommended by Uncle?"
The old man nodded slightly: "He was originally a Taoist who wandered in the clouds and was recommended by your uncle to the prince. After the prince ascended to the throne, your uncle also helped him obtain the title of 'Ziwei True Man' and recommended him as the master of this White Cloud Temple."
No wonder Ziwu was a little afraid of Gu Quanwu.
He was originally Gao Jixing's man.
Gu Jinzhi then recounted what he had seen at the gate.
The old man nodded slightly and didn't say much more.
At noon, Song Dan'er had someone send over a change of clothes for the three of them, their daily necessities and several books.
Had lunch. Zeng Taichun asked Old Master for guidance on medical matters.
The Taoist boy who was serving Zhu Zhongjun came in and said: "His Majesty wants to have a word with Miss Gu."
Louyang Wang always stuck to Gu Jin, everyone knew.
Gu Yanwen said to Gu Jin: "You go take a look quickly."
Gu Jinzhi had no choice but to get up and head towards Zhu Zhongjun's wing room.
Zhu Zhongjun stared blankly at the roof, his eyes empty.
Until Gu Jinzi came in.
She sat down on the armchair beside Zhu Zhongjun's bed and didn't say a word, just quietly looked at him.
Zhu Zhongjun also looked at her.
The two of them stared at each other for a while, before Zhu Zhongjun suddenly said: "You're really useless! If you hadn't burst out laughing and run away yesterday, I might not have recognized you. You're getting more and more like your old self..."
Gu Jin's lips curled up with a cold smile.
What does it mean to deceive him?
Gu Jinzhi's Gu Shi Liu Shen Wan. Zhu Zhongjun may not know that it comes from the Qing Dynasty, and Can An Gong Niu Huang Wan is so famous, and it was created by Gu Jinzhi, he can quickly find a weakness.
Everything in this world is within Zhu Zhongjun's calculations, who can deceive him?
It's just self-inflicted humiliation.
"Do you know or don't you? What does it have to do with me?" Gu Jinzhi said, "Why should I put on airs?"
Zhu Zhongjun thought she was right and smiled.
He asked Gu Jinzhi: "The person who just went out, does he look like Qian Defeng?" That person pointed to Gu Jinzhi's elder brother Gu Yantao.
Qian De Feng
Gu Jinzhi hadn't thought of this name for a very, very long time.
Her first boyfriend was named Qian Zhan. Qian Zhan's father, Qian De-feng, was found guilty of corruption and murder, and was eventually sentenced to death by firing squad.
Whether he killed someone or not is unknown, but what's certain is that he offended those in power at the time. They just needed him dead.
What's behind that case is well-known to everyone, so Gu's family at that time avoided it as much as possible, afraid of being implicated.
Zhu Zhongjun opened his mouth and couldn't spit out ivory.
"A bit similar." Gu Jing said, "Both are clever and capable. As for the five senses, the eyes and mouth are alike, but the others don't resemble each other much..."
If you want to say it, then say it thoroughly.
Zhu Zhongjun smiled again and slightly raised the corner of his lips: "Remember it very clearly."
Gu Jin's fingers curled up.
"I'm a bit drunk, pour me a glass of water." he said again.
Gu Jin got up and poured him a glass of water, using a small spoon to feed him sip by sip.
He sighed and said: "With your current status, you shouldn't be able to afford offending me. Otherwise, you should have left a long time ago."
He said those words to provoke Gu Jinzhi, making her angry, and she should have walked away with a flick of her sleeve.
But I don't know why, those things that were so important in my past life, after being separated by a lifetime, only left a faint mark in my heart.
The ex-boyfriend has also become a scenery, without causing any ripples at all.
But the dislike for Zhu Zhongjun has not decreased at all.
"Tell me about the current situation." Zhu Zhongjun drank half a cup of water and asked Gu Jinzhi.
"Take a good rest, what does the situation have to do with you?" Gu Jinzhi said, "Others who encounter this kind of situation wouldn't be panicked and crying loudly, they should feel lost. But you're only concerned about the situation."
"Did you cry out loud at that time?" Zhu Zhongjun asked back with a smile.
