Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

Chu Rou was poisoned, so she needed acupuncture and herbal bath to expel all the toxins. After that, she could take her medicine for a while and then survive.

It’s just that compared to normal people, my body is still relatively weak and more susceptible to minor illnesses.

Life expectancy will also have some impact. Gu Zhen conservatively estimates that she can live to 40 years old at most.

When Chu Xinghe heard the news, he was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply to Gu Zhen.

"Brother Shang has been so kind and generous, and I, Chu, have no way to repay you. From now on, my brother and I..."

Gu Zhen interrupted him with a smile, "Brother Chu, why are you being so polite? This is just a piece of cake for me. You can thank me after Miss Chu is cured."

Chu Xinghe smiled heartily, feeling that this young brother was cheerful and heroic. Although he was a little weak and had an unremarkable appearance, his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Especially when she smiles, it makes people feel comfortable and at ease.

Chu Xinghe's favorability towards Gu Zhen instantly exploded.

Although he and Xiang Jihuai are sworn brothers and he knows that his sister and he share the same feelings, Xiang Jihuai plans to become emperor in the future, and he is accompanied by Feng Qianheng, who is resourceful, gentle and humble.

In the future, he didn't want his sister to compete for men's favor in the deep palace.

On the other hand, brother Shang Zhen is a man of integrity and loyalty, making him a rare and perfect match.

If my sister could marry him, she would be happy.

Just as he was thinking about it, a woman in plain clothes and with a pretty face came in from outside. She brought some tea and snacks and walked slowly to Gu Zhen's side.

Bai Ling put down her things and bowed to Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe felt a little uneasy when she saw that she and Shang Zhen were very familiar with each other and that their relationship was a little intimate.

"Brother Shang, is this your sister-in-law?"

Bai Ling's mouth twitched, and Gu Zhen suppressed her smile and introduced, "She is the concubine Bai from the mansion."

She spoke vaguely, but Chu Xinghe was a little disappointed. Most men in this world are like this. Is it so difficult to find a reliable one for her sister?

It would be great if everyone could be as clean as him!

But no matter what he thought, Chu Xinghe still accepted the matter calmly. He drank some tea and inquired more about his sister's condition before saying goodbye and leaving.

That afternoon, Chu Rou came to the Shang Mansion. Gu Zhen suggested that she stay there for a while. In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Xinghe also accompanied her.

To Gu Zhen's surprise, Feng Qianheng also came.

She has a very good relationship with sister Chu Rou. Gu Zhenxin thought that this should be a common problem in male-oriented novels. Which man doesn't want a peaceful backyard?

Sometimes I really don’t know whether it is right or wrong for her to interfere in Chu Rou’s life and death.

But she couldn't do it when she saw a beautiful girl like Chu Rou die.

Gu Zhen personally led people to the guest house.

Chu Xinghe rarely had a moment of rest. Because of his sister's illness, Xiang Jihuai approved a few days of leave for him so that he could accompany Chu Rou.

The few of them settled down in the business.

.

After a course of treatment, Chu Rou finally adapted to the medicinal bath.

At first the pain was unbearable and she screamed in agony. Her brothers who were waiting outside secretly shed tears when they heard her scream. Sometimes when Brother Xiang came, he wished he could rush in and bear it for her.

But the further she went on, the more comfortable she felt.

I just felt relaxed all over, as if, as the story in the book said, my Ren and Du meridians were opened up and I felt relaxed.

Every part of the body is filled with warmth.

No longer have to endure the cold that comes every night like usual.

Chu Rou herself is not a dull person. Because of her illness, she always feels that she is a burden to everyone, so she often acts as if she doesn't care. But now she realizes how much she wants to survive.

The first time she felt comfortable instead of pain from taking a medicinal bath, Chu Rou cried.

Gu Zhen had been waiting outside and spoke to comfort her after hearing what happened.

Chu Rou knew that Brother Xiang was in the city with her brother and Sister Feng to reorganize the officials today and was not with them here. When she heard Gu Zhen's gentle tone, she let down her guard for a moment and cried bitterly while sitting in the bathtub.

Gu Zhen was silent for a few seconds, then stood up and walked around the garden to the west courtyard.

She hadn't worn the clothes that belonged to the Second Young Lady for a long time. Now that she had taken off the chest wrap, she felt very refreshed.

She was now quite adept at changing her attire, and she did it quickly, returning to the guest house as the second young lady.

Chu Rou's suppressed crying could be heard intermittently. Gu Zhen knocked on the door, "Miss Chu, I am the second young lady of the mansion. Can you come in?"

Perhaps Shang Zhen was concerned and was too embarrassed to ask himself, so he asked the women in the mansion to do it.

She also knew something about the Shang family's affairs. In order to show respect, Shang Zhen did not invite his aunt, but instead invited his widowed sister-in-law, which was a sign of sincerity.

Chu Rou couldn't refuse the host's kindness, so she wiped her tears and said, "Second Madam, please come in. I am sorry for being so rude. I troubled you to come here."

Gu Zhen came in and closed the door. She saw that Chu Rou's pretty face was a little red from soaking in the bath for too long. Her black hair was draped over her thin shoulders, making her look even more pitiful.

Touching his nose, Gu Zhen felt that he had gained some experience in being a man recently. Who wouldn't be moved by such a beauty?

"Miss Chu, are you feeling unwell? The medicine shouldn't be working anymore at this stage."

Chu Rou hummed in a muffled voice. In the misty air, she only felt that the woman opposite her was beautiful and charming. Her tone was extremely gentle and caring. The worried look between her eyebrows made her look very much like her elder sister who held her in her arms when she was young.

All members of the Chu family were executed, and the eldest sister, who was married, did not escape either. Now no one knows where her soul is.

Chu Rou felt even more sad and burst into tears: "I...I, I, I feel so sad!"

Gu Zhen came over and took her into his arms, and comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't feel bad anymore. Once you're well, you can do anything. I'll accompany you to go boating in the lake, fly kites, or go horseback riding in the Great Wall, okay?"

In the original book, this white moonlight is just a paper beauty. Xiang Jihuai has great ambitions in his heart, and the love story does not occupy much space. Most of Chu Rou's roles even exist in the protagonist's memories.

Just a few strokes, but enough sadness is expressed.

Chu Rou was sobbing. How could this Second Young Lady, whom she had never met, know her thoughts so well?

She had been fed countless medicines and poisons since she was a child. She was finally reunited with her brother, but she was already terminally ill from the poison. She couldn't even do embroidery, which was something ordinary girls did, let alone riding a horse and sailing on the lake.

Chu Rou hugged Gu Zhen tightly, feeling that this soft body was extremely warm.

Gu Zhen patted her back slowly, and Chu Rou soon fell into a deep sleep.

It was almost time for the bath, so Gu Zhen simply carried the skinny beauty to the couch, dressed her, and dried her hair.

When I packed up and went out, I found three people standing outside without me noticing.

Chu Xinghe's eyes were red, but she tried hard not to cry. The brother felt heartbroken when he heard his sister's crying.

Xiang Jihuai could not hide his melancholy. He had neglected Rouer for the sake of his greater cause. Fortunately, he would always have time to accompany her in the future.

Feng Qianheng stood there, looking Gu Zhen up and down, and felt that she looked familiar, but he knew that he had never seen this female member of the Shang family before.

Gu Zhen lowered her eyes. The book said that Feng Qianheng was an expert in planning and strategizing, good at deploying troops, and knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. She was extremely intelligent. Who knew if she would see through her disguise at a glance.

"Greetings to my lord, Master Chu, and Military Advisor Feng." After taking the medicine, Gu Zhen regained his normal voice.

It was like the flow of a clear spring, which made people feel comfortable. Chu Xinghe knew that it was this girl who had been comforting her sister just now.

He took a step forward and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you for comforting my sister, I didn't know that you were from this mansion..."

Gu Zhen was a little nervous because of the gazes. She took out her handkerchief and put it on her lips, saying shyly, "I am a widow, so I will leave now without disturbing you guys."

Chu Xinghe didn't expect that this person was the widowed second young lady in the mansion.

It's a pity that such a young and imprudent person has to be confined to this square courtyard.

I don’t know whether it was Brother Shang who didn’t want to let her go, or whether she herself didn’t want to leave.

After Gu Zhen left, Feng Qianheng was still looking in that direction thoughtfully.
