Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

But Gu Qinghe was still a little worried. "Mrs. Lin was whipped. What if someone didn't want her to live and made her injuries worse? What if she died silently?"

"No, since she has already reported the matter to the police and told everyone what she wants to sue, it is basically known to everyone now. Whether she is alive or dead, we have to investigate."

Shao Wei comforted her, "Besides, Shao Xingjian is not a loser. It's not that easy to do something under his nose."

I felt a little relieved, and Uncle Fu came out after boiling some water.

Shao Wei consciously let Gu Qinghe chat with Uncle Fu and went to take a bath.

As Gu Qinghe expected, as soon as she told Uncle Fu about asking him to temporarily leave the capital and go to Chizhou, Uncle Fu immediately showed resistance.

He looked like he had nothing to discuss with her. "I'm going to Chizhou, and you're the only one left in the capital. That won't work. I'll stay here. If there's anything you can't handle, at least we can pack up our things and run away. If you're left here alone, how can you run?"

Gu Qinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I won't run away. Don't worry. I know everything. You must have noticed during this period that I won't take my life impulsively. There is still a long time to go. When things here are over, I still have to help my mother open a pharmacy."

She didn't give Uncle Fu time to reply and quickly interrupted, "Actually, I asked you to go to Chizhou for a reason."

"What's the reason? You're just afraid that I'll cause trouble for you here." Uncle Fu snorted, sat aside with a gloomy face, and didn't even look at her.

Gu Qinghe slumped his shoulders and held his forehead helplessly. "You are so capable and have helped me so much. How can you cause me any trouble? If Uncle Fu had not accompanied me to the capital, I might not be alive today. I will be angry if you say that."

Uncle Fu is a man with a cold exterior but a warm heart. He responds to soft words but not harsh ones. He is very easy to coax, and after just a few words, Uncle Fu's expression softened a lot.

Gu Qinghe struck while the iron was hot, "I told you about mother's situation before. That bastard King Wu caused her to lose her memory. Mother doesn't remember anyone and is always eager to remember things from the past. I talked to her about some of it, and I mentioned you as well."

"I have been looking for herbs that can help mother recover her memory. The last time the people from Yun State came, they just gave me one. Now the antidote is ready. You are in Chizhou. You can be by mother's side when she thinks of the past. I am really busy now, and mother often falls into nightmares. If not for this, I would not let her take the antidote now."

Gu Qinghe originally planned to wait until she was done with her work and had time to stay by Lu Zhiyao's side before letting her take the antidote. That way, when she was by her side, her mother might be able to calm down a little when she saw her after she remembered.

But a few days ago, Xiao He's letters were mixed in with the letters Shao Wei sent her. Her handwriting must have been taught by her mother. Although it was crooked, a lot of it was recognizable.

Xiao He said that her mother still has nightmares and the situation is even worse than before. Several times she has seen her mother sitting under a jujube tree in a trance late at night. She didn't know whether she couldn't sleep because of nightmares or she was just upset.

Gu Qinghe was worried, but he couldn't go there in person, so he had to take the opportunity of Uncle Fu's trip to Chizhou to give the antidote to Uncle Fu.

Maybe recalling the past is not a bad thing for the mother.

Sure enough, after hearing her say this, Uncle Fu hesitated, "But you are alone in the capital. If something happens, no one can take care of you."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash, nothing will happen."

Uncle Fu wanted to say something, but Gu Qinghe had obviously made up her mind, so he had to purse his lips.

Gu Qinghe handed the antidote to Uncle Fu and said, "You will leave tomorrow. It is best for your mother to take the antidote before going to bed. Tell her to wait for me in Chizhou."

……

After arranging Uncle Fu's affairs, Gu Qinghe returned to the general's mansion. Shao Wei was unable to come back with her as he had to go to the palace.

Grandma Wang was cooking in the kitchen. Gu Qinghe walked over and asked Grandma Wang to cook two more dishes. Grandma Wang didn't know Shao Wei was coming back yet, so she smiled and nodded at her, "Are there any guests coming today? Are there any dietary restrictions?"

"That's not the case," Gu Qinghe also laughed, "Shao Wei is back, I think he must want to eat the food you cook."

"Oh, is this true?" Granny Wang wiped her hands happily, "Then I'll ask the housekeeper to call the young master back."

After Gu Qinghe came back, Luo Feng felt relieved again. He began to let his childish nature run wild and often went to play with his friends.

When they met Ouyang Xia on their way back to the room, Gu Qinghe didn't notice anything, but Ouyang Xia seemed a little guilty. He mumbled something in his mouth and quickly walked away with a flickering look in his eyes.

Gu Qinghe sighed and didn't call her. Even if she hid now, she would still meet him at the dinner table later.

……

The emperor's physical fatigue has become more and more serious in recent days. He asked the imperial doctors to treat him, but none of them could tell what was wrong and the medicines they prescribed had no effect.

He thought of Doctor Lu who came to the palace in his early years to treat the empress dowager and also helped him cure his headache.

His headache was caused by his mother being punished to kneel in the rain when she was pregnant with him, and then catching a cold and giving birth prematurely.

Since he was born, he cried more than other children. The imperial physician said it was because he was frightened in the womb.

But it was precisely because he loved to cry that his father disliked him very much.

The emperor thought that if Doctor Lu were still alive, he would surely be able to help him figure out why he was so listless day by day.

But he quickly realized that Doctor Lu seemed to be the Chen family member who was beheaded some time ago for treason.

He was actually a little hesitant about Doctor Lu at that time. He had planned to let her go on the grounds that she cured diseases and saved lives and did good deeds, but he soon heard the news that Doctor Lu was missing.

So I stopped caring about it.

The emperor wondered whether he should send someone to look for Doctor Lu, but even if he found him, he couldn't use him with confidence.

As for Gu Qinghe, he didn't intend to consider her at all. In his opinion, this woman was too young and her identity was still unclear, so she was not trustworthy enough.

The fourth prince looked at his father's changing expression and was a little worried, "Father, is your headache coming back again?"

"It's an old problem," the emperor propped up his forehead and closed his eyes, "Is there any progress with the Qi family?"

The Ming family has nothing to worry about. After all, Concubine Ming is in the palace. Besides, the Ming family members don't like to cause trouble. Unless they are troubled by something, they generally won't get involved in such a mess.
