Chapter 153 Serious illness
When the regent heard her cry out in pain, he paused and subconsciously let go. There was a hint of panic in his cold eyes, but he quickly put it away, and stared at Su Wan's wrinkled face with a frown.
"Your Majesty, you are going to break my hand." She forced a little mist out of Su Wan's eyes. She looked like her mother, and the Prince Regent's tolerance for her came largely from her face. Knowing the regent's physical condition, Su Wan had no choice but to shamelessly take advantage of her advantage in front of the regent.
"Look." Su Wan handed over her red wrist thoughtfully.
The regent's face was tense, his chin tightened, and he stared at her slender wrist. The red mark was particularly eye-catching.
He moved his eyebrows, thinking that she was too useless.
Qi Min has a slender frame, but can sweep through thousands of armies.
Not so vulnerable.
"My hand won't be sprained, right?" Su Wan said this. The hand that was said to be sprained quickly grasped the regent's wrist again. The moment he made a move, she "hissed" A cry: "It hurts!"
The veins on the Regent's forehead twitched. Anyone who dared to be so presumptuous in front of him has already become a man.
He glanced at the red mark on her wrist, raised his eyes, touched her misty eyes, and pretended to be pitiful. The regent looked away and couldn't figure out how Qi Min could give birth to such a scoundrel.
It must be Su Jihong's bloodline that is causing trouble.
Su Wan got what she wanted, but instead of relaxing, her eyebrows tightened even more.
The regent was uncooperative and interfered with the pulse.
Su Wan withdrew her hand and stood beside Gu Huaizhi.
"How is your adoptive father's health?" Seeing her solemn expression, Gu Huaizhi couldn't help but guess that the situation was not optimistic.
Su Wan shook her head and said nothing.
The regent adjusted his sleeves slowly: "If there is nothing else to do, you can go back. There is no need to perform filial piety in front of me."
"Tingyuan has something to discuss with his adoptive father."
Su Wan withdrew with a wink, planning to ask Luo Cheng to inquire about the regent's condition.
The door closed, and Gu Huaizhi sat opposite the regent, "Jingyun comes to the capital, and I plan to ask the old gentleman to teach him."
"Your teacher?" The regent said with unclear meaning: "If you follow me, he will expel you from the teacher's school. If he knows Jingyun's identity, he will not accept him as a student."
The former chief minister of the cabinet was extremely stubborn. In order to fight against the regent, he retired and returned home.
According to the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who inherit the great authority should establish elders rather than direct descendants.
Gu Jingyun wanted to overthrow the prince, but with his pedantic and stubborn attitude, how could he be willing to teach him?
Gu Huaizhi was silent. His senior brother asked Su Wan to be a lobbyist and he would show up at the senior's longevity banquet to show his weakness. Su Wan went to Beijing in advance, and Gu Huaizhi went alone to celebrate his teacher's birthday.
The senior brother told him with a sad face: "Sir, he left Xihe Town early for important matters. His only wish is for you to take the right path. He was very happy to hear that you took the provincial examination."
Gu Huaizhi said nothing.
Dean Lin patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "You will live up to your teacher's kindness and you will live up to yourself."
Gu Huaizhi broke free from his memories, precisely because of Gu Jingyun's special status, he had to be extra cautious when choosing his wife.
The teacher is his husband, and he has accepted Gu Jingyun as a closed disciple. Even if it attracts the attention of others, with his status, people will not think too much about him.
If you invite other great scholars, you will inevitably attract attention.
Gu Huaizhi whispered: "Teacher is not a stubborn person."
The regent has great power, and Gu Huaizhi recognizes him as his adoptive father. He has already arranged Gu Huaizhi's future.
But Gu Huaizhi took part in the imperial examination. Although the regent could not understand, he vaguely understood why he did this.
To some extent, Gu Huaizhi is similar to Mr. Jiang.
Just as stubborn.
"It's up to you. Jingyun will enter the East Palace in early summer at the latest." The regent's throat felt itchy, he coughed violently, and there was a fishy sweetness in his throat. He took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and put it into his sleeve: "You Go and ask Luo Cheng to come in."
Gu Huaizhi's expression was solemn. He was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. His eyes glanced at the pale color of the regent's lips, and he knew that he was seriously ill, so he was so eager to push Jing Yun to that position.
He left the inner room with a heavy heart.
——
Su Wan walked out of the house and saw Luo Cheng pacing back and forth at the entrance of the courtyard.
She raised her eyebrows and stepped over: "The regent doesn't want to see me? Is it Gu Huaizhi he wants to see?"
Luo Cheng's expression froze and he said with a sneer: "What's the difference between meeting you and meeting Mr. Gu? You two are husband and wife. Is there any problem with meeting your adoptive father together?"
Su Wan choked and wanted to ask why Gu Huaizhi was the adopted son of the regent. After thinking about it, she put the thought aside and settled the accounts with Gu Huaizhi in person later.
"How is the regent's health?" Su Wan went straight to the point.
Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "It's not very good. I don't know the specific situation. The imperial doctor only told me not to let the prince be tired and stay in bed to recuperate. The prince is not an obedient person. He goes to the court as usual. The military camp will only be closed for these two days. "
Luo Cheng didn't feel happy when the regent didn't go out. Instead, he felt even more uneasy. This shows that the regent's health is getting worse!
"Have you checked the prince's pulse? How is his condition?" Luo Cheng sounded a little anxious.
Su Wan said helplessly: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to want everyone to know about his physical condition. When I took my pulse, he interfered with it, so I asked you to find out the situation." She bit her lip and thought for a moment, "You Show me the medicine that the prince has taken."
Luo Cheng did not dare to delay, so he immediately took Su Wan to the kitchen, took out the medicine bag and handed it to her: "All the medicines you take every day are here. The imperial doctor also prescribed a bottle of medicine. It is in the hands of the prince and not in our hands. "
"Which imperial physician is diagnosing the prince's illness?" Su Wan opened the medicine package and carefully identified the medicine inside. The more she looked at it, the more her eyebrows tightened. This medicine was used to regulate the body and nourish qi and blood.
The regent kept his physical condition very secret, and even his closest confidants did not know about it.
"Mr. Liu." Luo Cheng was not stupid and said immediately, "I wonder when Miss Su will be free? I will recommend you to see Dr. Liu."
"Tonight."
Dr. Liu had to be on duty in the palace during the day. If Su Wanmao went to see him rashly, it would attract the attention of the regent.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements!" Luo Cheng was very grateful that Su Wan was so concerned about the regent's affairs.
The two of them returned to the main courtyard, and Gu Huaizhi happened to come out of it.
"Luo Cheng, the prince invites you to come in."
Luo Cheng's scalp was numb, but he didn't dare to delay and quickly entered the house.
When Su Wan and Gu Huaizhi returned home, she said: "According to Luo Cheng, the regent's condition is probably not optimistic. He kept it a secret. The medicine he took was tonic and used as a blindfold. I'm going to go there tonight. Meet Dr. Liu and tell him a story."
"good."
Su Wan was silent for a moment, then said in a calm voice: "So, you don't have anything to say to me?"
