I dare not

Xiang Zenan was so frightened by Gu Qiao's blood that he panicked, picked up the man and ran outside, calling for the imperial physician to Chengxuan Hall immediately while running.

After some people turned their backs on their backs, they finally settled the person on the bed.

Seeing Chengxuan Palace calling for someone in a hurry, the Supreme Hospital thought that something happened to the third prince, so they dared not neglect, so the Master Yuanzheng personally brought the medicine box over there.

The matter reached the Queen Mother almost at the same time.

The third prince was always in good health, and the palace members of the Chengxuan Palace had never seen such a battle, and they were a little at a loss when facing this civil servant who was brought back by his highness.

When Tang Yuan arrived, he saw the servants and maids waiting outside tremblingly, and even thought that the third prince was in trouble.When he entered the room, he saw His Highness the Third Highness sitting on the edge of the bed. Lying on the bed was an unfamiliar young man.

The palace lady had already helped Gu Qiao take off his coat, his white undershirt was slightly open at the chest, revealing his collarbone and a piece of pure white skin.

Tang Yuan was seeing this young man's pale face but it did not affect his delicate features, and seeing the anxious and worried expression of His Highness the Third Highness, he had some ambiguous calculations in his heart.

His Highness stood up and asked the imperial physician to come forward for diagnosis and treatment. The Tang Court was taking his pulse carefully. His Highness said from the side, "Just now I vomited blood in the imperial study, and passed out on the way back."

Tang Yuan was nodding his head, and said after taking the pulse: "Your Highness, this...Young Master, he is anxious and stagnant, but it will be fine if he vomits out the blood. I will prescribe two medicines for him to recuperate, and he will lie in bed for more than a month. It will recover slowly."

"More than a month?" The Third Highness was often injured when he was in the frontier. The most serious time was when he was hit by an arrow on the battlefield. He only had to rest for ten days. For him, it was very important for him to rest in bed for a month. serious situation.

Tang Yuanzheng spoke calmly, with a steady tone, "Yes, this young master is stagnant and emotionally depressed. If he doesn't take good care of him, he may fall into the root cause of the disease in the future."

The third prince nodded, thanked Tang Yuanzheng, and politely ordered him to be sent out.

After a while, the palace servants announced that the queen mother had arrived.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the Queen Mother's worried voice coming from the yard: "Doctor Tang just left? How is the third child?"

A palace official answered a few words in a low voice, and Xiang Zenan quickly walked out to greet him.

"Grandmother, why are you here?"

Although the queen mother is over half a hundred years old, she is hale and hearty and radiant.But at this time, because he was worried about his grandson, his well-maintained face was stained with a little sadness.Seeing her grandson standing in front of her with all her beard and tail, she was relieved immediately, with a smile on her face, she held the third prince's hand and said, "I heard that the palace of Chengxuan urgently summoned the imperial physician, and the imperial grandmother thought you were ill."

"I'm fine," Xiang Zenan said. "It's a friend of Erchen's. You may have heard his name before. His name is Gu Qiao."

The Empress Dowager seldom interfered with government affairs, but he knew this person, "Gu Qiao? Is it the new Zuo Shiyi, a student of Ouyang?"

"Yes." Xiang Zenan nodded, helped the queen mother to walk in, and talked about what happened in the imperial study room today while walking.

The Queen Mother heard about Li Detang, and her usually kind and dignified face also became a little angry, "This Li Detang, I have never seen that he has the courage to do such a thing."

"Father also lost his temper when he found out, and has sent Li Detang and Ouyang Chigong to prison."

"Hey," the queen mother sighed, "Ouyang Chigong is a man with too many thoughts, and he is mistaken for his cleverness."

While talking, the two went inside, the queen mother saw that Gu Qiao was sleeping on the third child's bed, she felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.

Gu Qiao hadn't woken up yet, her pale face was half hidden under the quilt, and her black hair was scattered on the pillow, giving her a fragile beauty.

The Empress Dowager looked between Gu Qiao and the third child for a moment, frowned slightly and said: "This child is also a poor man, let's send him out of the palace after he wakes up."

However, the third child didn't want to send Gu Qiao out of the palace, but he had no reason to keep Gu Qiao in the palace to recuperate, so he replied: "Okay."

The Empress Dowager talked with the third child for a while, then stayed in the Chengxuan Hall for lunch, and then drove back to the Ciming Hall.On the way back, I explained to the maid next to me, "Go and invite the imperial doctor Tang to give me a safe pulse."

Gu Qiao felt that she had dived into the bottomless water, holding her breath and swam desperately towards the light above her head, but she couldn't reach the surface of the water no matter what.

I have no strength anymore...

Just sink into the water...

As he thought this way, he relaxed, but his body floated up with the current, higher and higher, higher and higher, over the surface of the water, and into the air.

The light disappeared, and there was endless darkness all around.He was so oppressed by the darkness that he couldn't breathe, and a figure darker than the darkness reached out to him...

Gu Qiao opened her eyes suddenly, and found herself lying on the bed with a light yellow bed curtain above her head.He turned his head and saw a magnificent room, it should be already night, and the room was brightly lit.

He remembered that he vomited blood in the imperial study room, was picked up by the third prince, and then passed out.

So is this the third prince's bedroom?

A court lady with a round face came over and glanced at him, and said pleasantly, "You're awake!"

Before Gu Qiao could reply, the maid ran out again.

After a while, Xiang Zenan came in with a bowl of medicine.

"You finally woke up, the medicine has been hot for several times."

Gu Qiao propped herself up halfway up, "What time is it?"

Xiang Zenan helped him to cushion the backrest, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "It's almost midnight, you've been sleeping since noon. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"

Gu Qiao nodded and said honestly, "Hungry."

Xiang Zenan handed the medicine to the maid next to him, and said, "Make something to eat first, and drink the medicine after eating."

The maid went to take orders, and there were only two of them left in the room.

Xiang Zenan held his face and kissed his bloodless lips, "You scared me to death today."

"I'm sorry, I just..."

"Shh, don't tell me, I know, don't tell me you're sorry," Xiang Zenan grabbed his left hand, carefully stroked the scar on it, and said after a moment of silence, "I'll protect you from now on, okay? "

Gu Qiao didn't answer, but changed the subject and said, "When will the investigators from Lianzhou come back?"

"It will take more than ten days at the earliest, and the matter of the drawings has basically been settled...Ouyang Chigong has recruited in Dali Temple."

Gu Qiao lowered his eyes, the candlelight cast a shadow under his slender eyelashes, he murmured in a low voice: "I thought he wasn't greedy for money, why would he do this?"

Xiang Zenan was silent for a while, "Your father passed away in Qing'an 17, and the Lianzhou Gold Mine officially opened not long after that. In the second year after that, Ouyang Chigong was promoted from the minister of the Ministry of Industry on the fourth grade to the official Three years later, he was promoted to the third rank Zhongshu Shilang. The speed is unparalleled in the whole court of the Kingdom of Hao."

Gu Qiao understood what he meant, raised her eyes and said, "It's... how do you know?"

"It's impossible that this matter has nothing to do with him, but Li Detang and Ouyang Chigong have not confessed to him until now during the trial at Dali Temple."

Gu Qiao frowned and said, "He Fangzhi must have a way to handle them, otherwise how could he have given such a big handle to them?"

"I'll investigate this matter," Xiang Zenan stroked his face and looked into his eyes, "Don't bother too much, the imperial doctor said you need to rest now."

Gu Qiao felt a little embarrassed when he saw him. Xiang Zenan approached and whispered in his ear, "There are eyes of the queen mother in the palace. I won't sleep with you tonight. I'll sleep in the study."

"Who wants to sleep with you..."

Gu Qiao stopped in the middle of her sentence, and a waiter brought in some exquisite side dishes and pastries on a tray.

Xiang Zenan also ate some with him, but Gu Qiao couldn't eat after a few mouthfuls.His heart was in a panic, and the feeling of heartache rose from his stomach to his throat, making it hard to swallow.

Thinking of the past seven years, he felt extremely ridiculous. He had a lot of things he wanted to ask Ouyang Chigong face to face.Killing his father and then adopting him, is it because of guilt or other plans?

...Do people like Ouyang Chigong feel guilty?

Gu Qiao put down her chopsticks, "Can I go to Dali Temple?"

"This," Xiang Zenan wanted to say that I could arrange it, but then he remembered Tang Yuanzheng's words, and couldn't bear Gu Qiao to get angry again, so he turned a corner: "Father has been watching closely recently, so it's not easy to arrange it. I'll take you there after a while. Your main task now is to have a good rest."

"I will definitely talk about it tomorrow, and I have to prepare."

As Gu Qiao said, he was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed, Xiang Zenan hurriedly held him down, "Father has granted you a month's leave, so don't worry, leave the court affairs to me."

"One month?"

He didn't know that Xiang Zenan wanted this vacation for him, and he was taken aback. The emperor had never granted such a long vacation to anyone, did he pity him?

At this moment, the maid brought in the medicine again, Xiang Zenan watched over him and drank it, telling him to go to bed quickly, the most important thing now is to take good care of his body.

Gu Qiao couldn't fall asleep anyway.

The night in the palace was so quiet that only insects could be heard. Compared with the night in Ouyang Mansion... When he lived in Ouyang Mansion, when the night was quiet, the night owl Ouyang Zhiwen would knock on his door.Sometimes without knocking on the door, they would just push the door and come in, dragging Gu Qiao to talk to him, and not going back to sleep until both of them were too sleepy.

Gu Qiao turned over and stared at the light yellow bed curtain.Ouyang Zhiwen doesn't know what's going on now, and the teacher... Does the teacher know about this?Did you just find out today, or did you know it a long time ago?

Complicated thoughts came out of his head endlessly, and when he closed his eyes, it was the appearance of Ouyang Chigong saying sorry to him in the imperial study.

The revenge of killing the father is real, how much of the kindness of teaching and nurturing these years is true?

When Xiang Zenan came to see him, he was already asleep, and he was still crying when he fell asleep, and the pillow was dizzy and wet.

Xiang Zenan's heart ached when he saw it, and he leaned down and kissed his eyelids, leaving a salty taste on his lips.
