After being forced to marry the prince

Chu Wu was silent for a moment, then added, "It's just a broken bone, nothing serious."

Gu Bai was extremely helpless. How did this person endure these pains? It was the same when he was stabbed at the time, and it is the same now that his foot is broken. It is always an understatement of "just".

Gu Baiji asked: "Apart from the feet, is everything else okay?"

Chu Wu nodded, "It's okay."

He fainted before because of a hard fall, Gu Baiji should have fed him some wound medicine, and now he has indeed eased up a lot.

Gu Baiji was relieved after hearing the words, and he heard that Chu Wu had indeed regained some energy. He was afraid that his injury would be severe, so he would talk to him casually.

"About this assassination, does the prince know who it is?"

"Probably guess who it is." Chu Wudao, "If you guess correctly, they are not in the same group as the assassins they met on Qing'an Road. This time it should be arranged by Longxin. The assassin who was driving before was given by the emperor. For her bodyguard, there is another more obvious mark on the back of his neck, which I have... seen before."

Chu Yue was probably really forced this time, the assassins were not enough, even the more skilled guards from the mansion were also sent.

Gu Baiji was silent, "I'm the one who got you involved."

Gu Bai is not stupid, the prince wants to win him over, even his own sister can be given to him, it is considered to be all-consuming.

Chu Wudao: "It's not necessarily because of the general. There is no reason for brothers and sisters in the royal family to kill each other, and the general also saved me."

After thinking about it, Chu Wu went on to say, "They should know that the general has few people around now, and there will be no such good opportunity after returning to Beijing, so before that, I probably have to trouble the general to protect my life. "

Gu Bai rarely heard him say such words, and he was inexplicably happy at the moment, "Don't worry, my lord, I will try my best to protect you."

Thinking of the thrilling moment just now, Chu Wuyou was afraid from the back, and hurriedly said: "Don't try your best, the next time you encounter today's situation, the general will just let go!"

"There will be no next time." Gu Baiji was also afraid, "I have sent someone to send a letter to Anzhi to come and meet him, and it will take half a day at most."

Chu Wu didn't speak any more, Gu Baiji felt it, wondering if he had fallen asleep, so his movements became more and more gentle.

After a while, Chu Wu asked softly: "General, in fact, if I really die, it will be much easier for you to do things in the future, right?"

Regardless of whether he and the emperor had any enmity, Gu Baiji would always take his surname Chu into consideration whenever he wanted to do anything in the future.

"Nothing, don't talk nonsense."

Chu Wu said again: "If it was someone else, would you also risk your life to save it?"

Gu Baiji was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Naturally."

If it is someone else, as long as he is not a criminal, he will try his best to save him. However, Gu Baiji thought helplessly, probably only Chu Wu, let him have a feeling at that moment that if he fell, he would also fall. Follow the idea of ​​jumping off.

Chu Wu has not spoken since then.Gu Baiji felt a little bitter in his heart, but he didn't say anything after all.

After that, he encountered several waves of assassinations along the way, but fortunately, he soon reunited with Ze Anyu who came to pick him up, and it was safe and sound.

Back in the capital, the emperor returned the military power to Gu Baiji as if nothing had happened before, and ordered him to set out to quell the chaos as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the injury on his face, Chu Wu also went to the palace to meet the emperor.

It's only been a while, and the emperor looks even older.The original attitude was cold, but after seeing Chu Wu sitting in a wheelchair and the injuries on his face, his attitude became more cordial.

"Why did you go to his hometown with Gu Baiji and come back like this?"

Chu Wudao: "When I came back, the carriage was frightened, and my servant didn't notice, and fell from above."

The emperor was a little angry, "Why is Gu Baiji so careless? Are your legs okay?"

"Thank you father for your concern. The doctor has already seen it. It's just a broken bone. It will be fine after a period of time."

The emperor said: "Be more careful on weekdays."

Chu Wu nodded, and asked casually: "Father is not feeling well recently?"

The emperor said: "Occasionally feeling unwell, it's nothing serious." Seeing that Chu Wu was silent, for some reason, thinking of his ignorant childhood, he smiled, "Ah Jiu, when you were young, you liked to read some medical classics. But what do you see?"

He was just making fun of Chu Wu, but he didn't want to hit some of Chu Wu's doubts.

Chu Wu hurriedly pleaded guilty and said ashamedly: "My son is stupid, and I didn't understand much after reading it. It's just that I am really worried. I also ask my father to order a few more loyal imperial physicians with high medical skills to treat carefully and take care of the dragon's body."

The emperor only thought that he was showing his sincerity, and didn't go into detail why he emphasized the word "loyalty" in a good sentence.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? I just remembered something from your childhood."

Chu Wu lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said again: "My son is naturally dull, and I have disappointed my father."

On the contrary, the emperor was quite pleased and left him to have dinner with him in the palace before letting him go back to the general's mansion.

Gu Baiji received the military order, and in a few days he will go to the southern border.

During this period, the Seventh Prince Chu Rui is about to go to the fief.

Before going, Chu Rui sent invitations to Gu Baiji several times, but Gu Baiji refused because of his busy military affairs; Return it untouched.

Chu Rui has an arrogant personality, and Chu Wu has no personal relationship with him.

Hearing that Chu Rui came to visit General Gu in person, Chu Wu didn't plan to meet him at first, and only let people say that Gu Baiji was not in the mansion.

Who knew that Chu Rui was unexpectedly persistent this time, and entered the mansion carelessly.

He has a noble status, and the family boy didn't dare to stop him, so he had to lead him in after reporting to Chu Wu.

"Although this General's Mansion is not big, it is safe." Chu Rui looked at Chu Wu meaningfully and said with a smile, "Ninth Brother really found a good place."

Chu Wu didn't answer, ordered the family boy to serve tea, and then asked, "I don't know what the Seventh Brother is doing when he comes to the humble house?"

"Humble house?" Chu Rui looked at him in astonishment as if he had heard some joke, "Ninth Brother, don't tell me that you really regard this as your own home?"

"What did Seventh Brother say?" Chu Wu looked at him calmly, "What is this place if it's not my home?"

Then without waiting for Chu Rui to answer, he said again, "The general is not in the mansion, Brother Qi wants to find someone, I'm afraid I have to find another time to come."

Chu Rui examined Chu Wu's expression, and after a while, he smiled sarcastically, "Since he deliberately avoids me, I'm afraid he won't be able to see me at another time, right?"

Chu Wuwen said, and replied flatly, "Brother Seven is worrying too much."

"But it's okay if you don't see him." Chu Rui said, "After all, it's the same with you, the ninth brother. I'm going to fief the land. We two are brothers anyway. I don't know when we will see each other again. Before we leave It’s also good to catch up with the ninth brother.”

Chu Wu: "Brother Seven, take care all the way."

Chu Rui didn't pay attention to his perfunctory, and moved closer, staring straight at Chu Wu with deep and narrow eyes, and said slowly: "Ninth brother, others say that you have become dull, but I don't really believe it. , You said, how could a smart person suddenly become stupid?"

Chu Wu put down his teacup, looked at him and said, "I also want to know, if Brother Qi knows the reason, please let me know."

Chu Rui ignored what he said, and continued: "Ninth brother, tell you, you are a majestic prince, and you commit yourself to that Gu Baiji, what exactly is it for?"

Chu Wu said without hesitation, "I like him."

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha!" Chu Rui laughed until tears came out, "Ninth brother, the funniest thing in the royal family is the word "love"."

Chu looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word.

"Forget it!" Chu Rui got up, and suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Wu, his tone suddenly turned cold, "Nine Brothers don't want to say it, I hope that when we meet again next time, Nine Brothers will still look like this. Otherwise, Seventh Brother might not be able to help but want to do something to Ninth Brother."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Chu Wu's reaction, and strode out like when he came.

Until the person had left, Chu Wu still had that indifferent look, but the expression in his eyes gradually became dignified.

When Gu Baiji came back in the evening and heard Chu Wu talk about this matter, the first question he asked was: "Prince Rui is arrogant and dark, and his evaluation has never been considered good. Did he say anything bad to you?"

"Huh?" Chu Wu was stunned, "No." He said again, "The general of Chu Rui's temperament also knows that he will not be willing to go to the land. Standing in line for a while, the situation may be a little dangerous, so we must be careful in this expedition."

Gu Baiji has the military power in his hands, and he has great prestige in the army. The princes who want to seize the heir almost all acquiesce in one thing. Whoever Gu Baiji stands on has a greater chance of winning.

Now Chu Rui knows that Gu Baiji will not support him, and he doesn't know what he will do.Coupled with Chu Jun, Chu Yue's brothers and sisters, and the other princes who have been hiding all the time, they are really uneasy no matter what they think.

Chu Wu was probably frightened by his own thoughts. After that day, he locked himself in the pharmacy, almost forgetting to eat and sleep. He even skipped Gu Nanshu's medical class.

As the expedition approached, Gu Baiji became more and more busy, and sometimes he even stayed in the military camp directly. When he came back from the military camp that day, it was almost the second day's Haishi, but he went to the yard and saw that the lights in the prescription were still on.

Chen Siyao waited at the door, and saluted when she saw Gu Baiji.

Gu Baiji just walked into the pharmacy, and a strong smell of medicine wafted out instantly. He frowned, "How long has the lord been in there?"

Chen Siyuan hesitated for a moment, not daring to hide it, "Last night at Xushi."

"It's been so long?" Gu Bai hurriedly opened the door and walked in in a hurry.

"General." Chu Wu was busy at the desk, heard the sound of the door opening, raised his head to say hello, then lowered his head to continue the action.

Chu Wu was wearing a dark green shirt, his long hair was simply tied behind his back with a ribbon, his face was getting paler, but his eyes were so bright.

"My lord." Gu Baiji asked, "What are you doing?"

"I made some easy-to-carry pills." Chu Wudao, "The environment in southern Xinjiang is humid, full of insects and miasma, so we need to prepare some antidote."

Gu Baiji said: "My lord, it's time for you to rest."

Chu Wu lowered his head and didn't hear what he said.

Gu Baiji called out again, "Ah You?"

"what?"

Gu Baiji sighed, "You should go to rest, you know?"

"No hurry." Chu Wutou said without raising his head, "I'll finish this."

"Ah yes."

"Ah?"

"Huh?" Chu Wu raised his head again, before he had time to say anything, the back of his neck hurt, and his whole body suddenly went limp.

Gu Baiji sighed, retracted his hand and took the man in his hand, and carried him out horizontally.

"General!" Chen Siyuan knelt outside the door, bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

"Because these medicines are useful, so you let him go?"

Chen Siyuan nodded, "Yes."

"This is not an example." Gu Baiji said, "If you don't want to leave, you have to remember that he is your master."

So what Chen Siyuan should consider is whether this matter will affect Chu Wu, not whether it will benefit Gu Baiji.

Chen Siyuan nodded deeply, looking at Chu Wu's pale face and black eye circles, she really regretted it in her heart,

"Yes, General, the servant girl understands."
