marriage contract

In a courtyard somewhere in central Beijing, Gu Chengzhi and Jin Rong were sitting at the table playing chess.

"Are the nails on the chair so hard that you can't even sit still?" Jin Rong looked helplessly at the opposite person who kept distracting after eating a large piece of chess pieces.

Gu Chengzhi touched his nose in embarrassment, picked up another chess piece and dropped it on the board.

"Okay, okay, I won't leave if I'm not in the mood." Jin Rong waved his hand and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

"It's okay." Gu Chengzhi lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.

"Do you think I will believe you?" Jin Rong lowered his head and began to pick up the pieces on the chessboard one by one, "You have been nesting with me for three days, but you still haven't said anything, so stay here father It's time for the emperor to ask about the situation."

"I'll be leaving in two days..." Gu Chengzhi was a little weak.

"The Chu family bothered you?" Jin Rong raised his head and asked him.

Gu Chengzhi hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not like... looking for trouble with me." The main reason is that he can't think about it.

"What did they do?" Jin Rong asked with a frown.

Gu Chengzhi: "..."

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Jin Rong sighed immediately.

"I'm really fine." Gu Chengzhi paused and said, "I'm just a little annoyed, so come out to relax."

Jin Rong glanced at him suspiciously, then lowered his head and continued to pack the chess pieces.

Gu Chengzhi helped with a dry smile.

It was already the third day since he left Chu's house. Since the morning, Gu Chengzhi felt restless, always feeling that something was about to happen.

It was only when Jin Rong saw his fidgeting that he asked him.

With a crisp sound of "snap", a teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, while the owner of the teacup maintained the posture of holding the teacup somewhat stiffly.

Jin Rong raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "This is the third time."

After staring at the teacup on the ground for a moment, Gu Chengzhi suddenly stood up with a terribly solemn expression.

Jin Rong looked at him in confusion.

"I'm going back." Gu Chengzhi turned his head to look at Jin Rong, a storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes.

"Now?" Jin Rong glanced out of the window, night has come, and the curfew will be in two hours.

"Something must have happened, I want to go back!" Gu Chengzhi's feeling has always been very accurate, and this kind of palpitation only appeared when Master Gu and Mrs. Gu had an accident. At that time, he didn't care, and later he got it news of his parents' death.

Now there is only one person who is close to him, and he is the only person who can make him feel this way!

Seeing that he was really urgent, Jin Rong nodded and let him leave.

Gu Chengzhi's whole body was tense, he saluted Jin Rong and left quickly.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, the feeling of heart palpitations became more intense. Gu Chengzhi was so anxious that he didn't care whether he followed the rules or not, so he directly used lightness kung fu and ran all the way to Chu's house.

"Going away?" Jin Rong's tone was light.

"Yes." The guard standing in the room lowered his head and replied.

"Which direction are you going?" Jin Rong bent his fingers and tapped on the table.

"Going in the direction of Marquis Ji'an's Mansion." The guard then replied.

If Gu Chengzhi walked through the gate and left on horseback, they might not be able to judge the direction of Gu Chengzhi's walking so quickly, but he was using lightness skills to hurry, and he walked in a straight line, and the end of the straight line was near the Marquis of Ji'an. .

Jin Rong raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows. He had been suspicious for a long time. Gu Chengzhi didn't take the Chu family seriously. The reason why he came to him this time was probably because of Chu Junyi. After staying for a few days, he became anxious again. Baba rushed back.

After thinking about it, Jin Rong still sighed.

Gu Chengzhi rushed all the way to Chu's house, feeling heart palpitations from time to time, and each time it became more serious.

When he arrived at the Marquis of Ji'an's Mansion, Gu Chengzhi didn't even call the door, he just flew over the eaves and walked over the walls to the third-bedroom courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was wide open. It was obviously time to lock it, but the gatekeeper did not lock it.

Gu Chengzhi's heart became cold in an instant, and he rushed to the front of the main room in a few steps. The door of the main room was closed, and there was no light in the room. Everything was exactly the same as before he left, except that the yard was full of ghosts, and there was no trace of living people. sign.

Suddenly, there were several muffled sounds in the room, Gu Chengzhi's eyes dimmed, and he rushed directly into the bedroom.

There were two people in the bedroom, a woman was wearing a gauze dress and a thin skirt, her clothes were half untied, but her face was full of fear, and when she turned her head to see Gu Cheng, she was even more frightened.

This woman is the Tong Fang sent by Mrs. Chu, Shao Yao.

And there was a person lying on the bed, his face was as pale as snow, his eyes were sometimes slack and sometimes fierce, his lower lip was bitten tightly, blood slid down the beautiful jaw, and the collar on his chest was dyed red took a slice.

Pillows and some decorations were scattered on the floor.

At that moment, the blood in Gu Chengzhi's whole body almost froze into ice, and the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed.

A few steps forward, she slapped her palm, and directly sent Shaoyao flying. Shaoyao broke the bedroom window, fell down and rolled around in the yard, and stopped when she hit the study room ahead.

He remained motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The person who was an eyesore was gone, and Gu Chengzhi looked at Chu Junyi's situation with red eyes, but when he wanted to hug him, Chu Junyi waved him away.

Gu Chengzhi paused, grabbed Chu Junyi's wrist, and then pulled him into his arms, saying, "Don't be afraid! Look clearly, it's me, it's me!"

Chu Junyi kept struggling, and the blood on his lips also rubbed against Gu Chengzhi's body.

Gu Chengzhi kept calling him, trying to wake him up.

Chu Junyi was weak all over, and there seemed to be a fire in his body, which almost burned his whole body. Someone was talking in his ear, and it took him a long time to recognize whose voice it was.

He is back? !

The body temperature in his arms was on the high side, so Gu Chengzhi naturally noticed it, but when he thought of Shaoyao's attire, there was something he didn't understand.

Resisting the urge to tear the woman into pieces, she gently comforted Chu Junyi.

Now, nothing is as important as him!

Chu Junyi's eyes finally gathered a little, he recognized Gu Chengzhi, he came back...

"Can you recognize me?!" Seeing him calm down, Gu Chengzhi stretched out his hand to gently wipe the blood on Chu Junyi's face.

"Gu Chengzhi..." Chu Junyi's voice was barely audible.

"It's me!" Seeing that he could still recognize someone, Gu Chengzhi was slightly relieved.

"That woman..." Chu Junyi took a few breaths, ignored Gu Chengzhi's frowning, and asked directly, "You didn't ask her to come here, did you?!"

Only this, he must know!

Gu Chengzhi was taken aback by his question, and then he understood what he meant, and the anger that was finally suppressed rushed to the top of his head again, how dare that woman? !

The tense nerves in his head seemed to be on fire, but seeing Chu Junyi holding his breath and waiting for his answer, he took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "No! I didn't ask her to come!"

After getting the answer he wanted, Chu Junyi's expression softened a bit, "I knew...you wouldn't...do this...it was her...that lied to me..."

Before he finished speaking, the scorching heat in his body struck again, and the painful feeling continued, and Chu Junyi passed out when his eyes went dark.

"Junyi! Junyi!" Gu Chengzhi choked on his breath and called repeatedly.

But Chu Junyi's expression was painful, and his body temperature rose again.

Gu Chengzhi felt flustered, and called for his servants loudly, but no one appeared.

There is no one in the courtyard, if there is someone, it is impossible not to show up until now.

Gu Chengzhi's gaze was icy cold, and his eyes seemed to be connected to a bottomless abyss.

"Come on! Pass on the imperial physician!" A roar resounded through the sky, what Gu Chengzhi yelled out with his inner strength, let alone the Chu family, even the surrounding households heard it.

After a while, a woman ran in, her legs went limp as soon as she saw the scene in the room.

Gu Chengzhi really wanted to shoot her to death, but now the most important thing is to invite the imperial physician, resisting the urge to kill, let the mother-in-law go to the front yard to find his attendant, and use his post to invite imperial physician He.

The mother-in-law got the order and scrambled out of the house. Gu Chengzhi's last sentence was that if the imperial doctor came late, her whole family would die!

Then, Mrs. Chu and Grandma Chu came one after another. Gu Cheng's roar was so loud that even the dead should have heard it.

Seeing Shao Yao lying in the courtyard, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law curled their lips, guessing that Gu Chengzhi just didn't like this girl and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fuss.

But when they saw the person in Gu Chengzhi's arms, they were all shocked, and then they looked at Shao Yao, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, with unbelievable eyes.

The old lady Chu only let Shaoyao be the housekeeper, but she didn't let her kill anyone!

Seeing Chu Junyi's pale and painful face and Gu Chengzhi's murderous gaze, who would believe that Shao Yao just wanted to climb into bed? !

This matter cannot be kept secret, today there is Shao Yao who dares to murder the master, tomorrow there may be someone who dares to stab the knife directly!

Mrs. Chu made a prompt decision, and sent the girls around her to inform Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu, and at the same time asked the women to detain Shao Yao.

The old lady Chu was dumbfounded when she heard the girl's report.

Old Master Chu was even more furious. He hated this kind of thing the most. He would not allow servants to abuse Chu Junyi, but now a girl came out and dared to murder his master.

Old Mrs. Chu swept everything on the table to the ground, gave Mrs. Chu a hard look, and then walked away.

The old lady Chu was so angry that her face turned blue. She just picked an obedient and sensible girl beside her for her grandson, but in the end she was slapped in the face by her own girl, and she couldn't sit still anymore.

Imperial Physician He and Mrs. Chu entered the yard front and back, and they were shocked to see Chu Junyi's appearance in the room.

When Mrs. Chu came, she saw her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law standing in the living room, Mrs. Chu sat beside her with a livid face, and Gu Chengzhi leaned against the bed and stared at Doctor He closely.

Chu Junyi's face was bluish and red, his body was hot and convulsed, even in a coma, he seemed extremely painful.

"It was drugged." Imperial Physician He said while taking his pulse.

"Help him relax first!" Gu Chengzhi just wanted to make Chu Junyi feel better.

Doctor He took a look at him before starting to administer the needles.

The old man Chu's face became even uglier when he heard what Imperial Physician He said.

Even Mrs. Chu felt extremely ashamed.

After finishing the acupuncture, Imperial Physician He retracted the needle and said, "Take him to the clean room and help him, the medicine is too strong to be good for the body."

"Me?!" Gu Cheng was taken aback.

"If you don't go, do you still want me to go?!" Imperial Physician He looked at him with a sad face.

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Chengzhi picked up Chu Junyi and went into the clean room.

joke!How could this kind of thing be done by others!

Seeing him slipping away so fast, Imperial Physician He felt even worse.

When Mrs. Chu and Grandma Chu heard what Imperial Physician He said, their expressions were a little unnatural.

Old Master Chu also felt that something was wrong, so he invited Imperial Physician He to the front study and asked about Chu Junyi's situation.

Doctor He's tongue was full of lotus flowers, no matter how serious he said it, Old Master Chu's face became darker and darker.

"It's not that serious." Mrs. Chu couldn't help but argue.

"Does the old lady not believe me?!" Imperial Physician He snorted coldly, "This is discovered early, and you can directly prepare for the funeral in half an hour at night."

Imperial Physician He also had Gu Chengzhi's meaning in saying that it was serious. He wanted the Chu family to calm down. If he knew that Chu Junyi's injury was not serious, something might happen again.

However, Imperial Physician He is not lying. Chu Junyi's condition is not just a matter of the efficacy of the medicine. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it took half an hour, but if it takes one night, it may really be impossible to save him.

The old lady Chu shut her mouth resentfully, she also saw Chu Junyi's appearance, and no one would believe him if it was not serious.

The old lady Chu is really annoyed to death by this troublesome old woman who is slowing her down. She even told her to take care of the third bedroom, and she even sent someone inside.

Doctor He returned to the main room after talking about his condition, sat in the hall and looked at the clean room thoughtfully.

He asked Gu Chengzhi to take Chu Junyi to clean the room because he wanted to test it out. Gu Chengzhi was too nervous, and he didn't look like the kid he knew at all. He was a little worried, but in the end...

When Gu Chengzhi came out with Chu Junyi in his arms, Imperial Physician He was still in a daze. He gently put him on the bed, turned around and asked, "What happened to him?"

Imperial Physician He looked up at him, Gu Chengzhi's expression was calm, but his ears were red...

"It's not just drugged, is it?" Gu Chengzhi found out when he helped him that the effect of the drug had passed, but Chu Junyi's body was still tense, which was not normal at all.

"Indeed, it's not just about the efficacy of the medicine. His body was resisting the effect of the medicine, and something went wrong somehow. I've already sent someone to decoct the medicine. Let's talk about it after he has taken the medicine." Imperial Physician He said slowly.

Gu Chengzhi nodded, but there was a little worry between his brows.

After the medicine was cooked, Imperial Physician He raised his chin and motioned for him to feed the medicine.

But Chu Junyi's teeth were clenched so tightly that he couldn't pry them open no matter what.

Old Master Chu was sitting in the front study, knowing that Chu Junyi's teeth were closed and unable to feed the medicine, he sighed and asked the old woman to pull Shaoyao to the corner gate and beat him to death.

Mrs. Chu wanted to stop her, but was silenced by Mrs. Chu's slap in the face.

Mrs. Chu was also very surprised, and immediately thought of something, she restrained her expression and lowered her eyes in silence.

On the contrary, Grandma Chu was a little confused.

After Shao Yao was killed with a stick, Old Master Chu asked his wife to go to the main room and tell the story.

Gu Chengzhi and Imperial Physician He frowned when they heard that Shaoyao was executed with a cane.

Gu Chengzhi wanted to kill Shaoyao himself, but Chu Junyi's situation was unknown, and he would not put the cart before the horse to deal with that woman.

Imperial Physician He suddenly thought of something from the past, but it has been a long time, and he can't remember the specific things clearly.

On the contrary, when Chu Junyi heard what the mother-in-law said, his body trembled twice, his head tilted, and he passed out.

Imperial Physician He took the secondary pulse again, and then said: "He didn't faint just now, his mind has always been clear."

"Then what should we do now?" Gu Chengzhi asked with a frown.

"Feed the medicine." Imperial Physician He glanced at him, "Isn't it stupid, I just fed the medicine now."

Gu Chengzhi: "..."

I fed two mouthfuls with a spoon, but I drank half and spilled half.

Gu Chengzhi stopped his hands and looked down at Chu Junyi.

After the effect of the medicine wore off, the burning heat on Chu Junyi's body subsided, and the blush on his face also disappeared. His whole body was terribly pale, as if there was no other color except that shocking white.

Medicine had already been applied to the wound on his lips, and half a spoonful of soup that had been spilled just now slid down the corner of his mouth, drawing a faint line.

This person seemed to be leaving at any moment, as if he would disappear if he couldn't see it.

Gu Chengzhi's heart missed two beats, and he reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth, wiping away the traces of the spilled soup.

He brought the medicine bowl to his mouth, took a mouthful of the decoction, and then lowered his head.
