God of Fast Transmigration, don't run away

Chapter 245: Infatuation with Women Respecting the Country 2
"Uh, it's nothing, I'm going to prescribe it right away." Imperial physician Liu could only grit his teeth and admit his cowardice, but wondered in his heart that Gu Xi was not usually a manly man?

And she doesn't take part in forming cliques for personal gain, after all, even if she does, she won't get involved with an unfavored prince.

In fact, there are unspoken rules in the palace. Except for the empress, the masters of each palace have to pay for their own medical treatment and medicine.

Otherwise, how would the hospital make money?It is all supported by the treasury, and the empress must be the first to be unwilling.

This is also the reason why the imperial physician shied away before, and took the medicine, but if the prince doesn't pay, then he can only settle the debt, thanks, especially the tonic is expensive.

She understood, and Gu Xi naturally understood. She touched it in her arms and found out that she really didn't have any money with her in a hurry.

"Just take it for the benefit, don't try to trick me by pretending to be fake, I'll ask my servants to send the money for the medicine to your house later."

As soon as he heard that someone paid for it, Imperial Physician Liu immediately put on a smile, "How can it be, there are good medicines in the palace, besides, how dare the officials lie to the general."

The two were talking in an official tone, the fifth prince's eyelids moved, and he opened his eyes slowly, just in time to meet a handsome face.

Her skin was a little tanned, but she couldn't suppress the sharpness of her facial features at all. Her thin lips were tightly pursed, she seemed to be quiet, but in fact she was either soft or hard, and she could subdue the usually slick doctor. post.

She was wearing a silver armor with a sword at her waist, and the bright red cloak behind her was like a banner on the battlefield. Her eyes were clear and piercing, which made him feel like he was hallucinating.

"Are you awake?" She looked at him and stunned him. How could someone talk to him like this? Shouldn't they all avoid him?
"Hey, the fifth prince is awake?" Imperial Physician Liu packed a bunch of medicines and brought them out.

He realized that this was the imperial hospital, and quickly stood up to salute, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Liu, I'm fine and don't need to take medicine."

"Hey, prince, you don't need to thank me. It was General Gu who brought you here. He said he saw you fainted by the side of the road. General Yaogu has already paid the bill, so you can take it back and use it with peace of mind."

Imperial Physician Liu still had some sympathy for the prince, but no matter how much sympathy he had, seeing his face was worn away.

Speaking of this fifth prince, his biological father was just a palace servant, and he passed away after giving birth to him, so he had less support from his father's family than other princes and daughters from the very beginning.

Besides, after he grows up, the longer he grows, the more unattractive he is, with a lot of hands and feet, and his voice is very hoarse for a while.

The eyebrows and eyes are also different from those handsome little brothers at present, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, the empress directly let him forgive him, and he is out of sight and out of mind.

He also became more and more low-key, and his life in the palace became worse and worse. He lost his father's family, and now he lost the attention of the empress, and he was bullied by others, even a small palace servant could bully him.

This is why Gu Xi met him today.

The fifth prince was already like this, and he was still very disciplined and didn't even want the medicine Gu Xi gave him.

It was Gu Xi who said, anyway, the bill has already been settled, the prince loves it or not, if you don't want it, just throw it away.

Her words may have been a bit harsh. He froze slightly, lowered his head, and did not raise it for a long time.

Just in time, the palace attendant who came to look for her rushed over and claimed that the empress was waiting to see her, but she didn't bother to stay any longer and left in a hurry.

In the end, it was Imperial Physician Liu who forcibly stuffed the medicine into the fifth prince's arms. He walked back weakly, his thin skeleton body couldn't even support the prince's clothes, and he looked empty in the wind.

When he heard that she saved him, he was actually happy in his heart, but he tried his best not to ask for the medicine from her.

The entanglement in his heart has not dissipated until now. In fact, he is looking forward to someone who can rescue him from this sea of ​​suffering, but he is also inferior. The relationship between them is like clouds and mud, so how could there be any intersection Woolen cloth?
Besides, Gu Xi didn't know until she met the empress that the empress suddenly ordered her to return to Beijing this time, and it was not for no reason.

She is afraid of Gu Xi, not only because she has hundreds of thousands of military power, but also because she has no support in Beijing, no parents, relatives, husband, servant or heir.

As an emperor, how could he allow such a subordinate to stay by her side safely.

What if Gu Xi becomes self-reliant at the border?What if she led the army back to the capital?

Moreover, she had never touched the man the empress sent to her house, which made the empress think more about whether she had other intentions.
The empress had no time to think about the turmoil at the border in the past few years, and it was useless to even think about it. At that time, the most important thing was how to quell the chaos and how to protect the peace of the border and even the peace of the country.

Your family is almost gone, and if you still think about whether the courtiers around you will rebel or something in the future, it is purely unfounded to worry about.

But now it is different, the frontiers are stable now, the people are rich, and it is very dangerous for a general to control so much military power.

For the emperor, it was like a knife hanging from his neck, and he couldn't sleep well at night.

When she saw Gu Xi, she first praised her, saying that thanks to Aiqing, the border could be peaceful and so on. Then she asked vaguely, Aiqing was already 27 years old, why didn't she plan to marry?

You must know that filial piety comes first among all good deeds, there are three types of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest, and then there are a bunch of blah blah blah blah.

Gu Xi's repeated victories in the battlefield did not depend on her courage. Her strategy was actually not much worse than that of the emperor, so she directly understood the meaning of the empress.

She thought for a while, and a thin face appeared in her mind, and she spoke quickly, "Speaking of marrying a husband, I do have a candidate, and I hope His Majesty will approve it."

"Oh?" The empress was a little surprised, "Which family is Aiqing looking for? As long as you are not engaged or married, I will make the decision for you."

"There should be no engagement." She hesitated a little.

"who is it?"

"It's His Majesty's Fifth Prince."

"what?"

"Fifth prince."

The empress frowned, and after a long time, she raised her head, "How did Aiqing know about me, the Fifth Prince?"

"I just entered the palace to meet the Holy Emperor, and happened to encounter the Fifth Prince fainting on the roadside, so I sent him to the Imperial Hospital. Therefore, I arrived late and made Your Majesty wait for a long time."

She told the truth directly, which made the empress dumbfounded. She heard the servant's report, but she didn't expect to be able to make a marriage like this.

"Then you should have seen him. It's not that I don't want you to marry. He looks worse than the son of an ordinary family. If you marry, those ministers in Beijing will laugh at me for treating Aiqing poorly?"

Gu Xi shook his head, "I don't think he is ugly. The reason why I have not married a husband these years is because I dislike those sons who are too fancy. I think the fifth prince is very good. If His Majesty is perfect, I will definitely not treat him poorly."
