Chapter 262: Saving Lives is Important

A group of soldiers led the way, Huo Zheng rode his horse, and the carriage followed behind him. They walked through the wind and rain and arrived at the gate of the palace.

Huo Zheng reined in his horse and said to the people following him, "Quickly carry Yuanjia into the palace for medical treatment."

"Yes." Several guards beside the carriage responded in unison, carrying the seriously injured and unconscious Master Gu out of the carriage. They hurried towards the mansion while shouting, "Imperial Physician! Where's the Imperial Physician? Come with me!"

Jiang He immediately followed with two imperial doctors.

Seeing this, Yuzhu followed involuntarily.

"Cui'er, come and take a look." Chunzhi told Cui'er to follow Yuzhu, then took the umbrella from the maid and quickly walked forward, calling out "Huo Zheng". "I heard that you were assassinated on your way back to the capital. Are you injured?"

Huo Zheng dismounted, took the umbrella from Chunzhi's hand, and raised it high. "I'm fine. Yuanjia blocked a fatal blow for me and is still unconscious. His life is hanging by a thread."

Chunzhi looked up at him. "A few days ago, the Minister of Justice, Lord Zhang, came to the palace and told me that when I was leaving the capital, I encountered an assassination attempt. The three people I captured were all killed under severe torture. Nothing was ever found out, so the matter had to be left unresolved. And then you were also assassinated on your way back to the capital. I suspect the two assassinations are related."

"This is definitely not an accident." Huo Zheng rushed all the way in the rain, the rain dripping down his cheeks, soaking his clothes. He wanted to reach out and hug Chunzhi, but he was afraid that the rain on his body would soak her clothes. He forced himself to restrain himself and said in a low voice, "Let's go in first."

"Let's go." Chunzhi said to everyone, "Let's go in."

"Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Huo Yanran hadn't seen her seventh brother for a long time and had originally planned to make a few jokes, but suddenly she saw someone seriously injured while blocking the sword for her brother and in urgent need of medical treatment. She was no longer in the mood to joke.

Princess Thirteen took Song Wan'er and walked inside.

Chunzhi and Huo Zheng walked towards the courtyard where Gu Yuanjia was at the same time.

When Master Gu was in the capital, he lived in the Chang'an Palace, where there was a courtyard specially prepared for him.

At this time, the guards had already carried Gu Yuanjia into the courtyard. Two imperial doctors were treating him in the house. "The wound has opened again..."

"He's so badly injured, how dare you take him on this journey?"

The two imperial doctors said as they were busy working, frowning.

The guards who carried Master Gu in explained, "If the local doctors hadn't been completely helpless, the prince would have brought Master Gu back to the capital and asked the two imperial physicians to treat him."

Yuzhu wanted to go forward and take a look, but the two imperial doctors were busy and did not allow anyone else to get close.

She stood a few steps away and could only see the imperial physician cutting open Gu Yuanjia's clothes, removing layer after layer of blood-stained white cloth, and the smell of blood spread in the room.

Mixed with the damp air from the rainy day, it makes people feel nauseous.

Yuzhu forced herself to calm down, and before the two imperial doctors could speak, she ordered the maids to bring hot water and boil the ginseng soup...

By the time the two imperial doctors asked for them, all these things had been prepared and they could be used at will.

Ginseng soup can save lives.

Wash with hot water.

It is an indispensable thing.

Doctor Zhou was annoyed by the guards' large size and strength, standing in the room and blocking the light. He frowned and said, "We don't need so many people here. All of you should go out. Only those who are nimble and clever will be enough. If the prince or princess comes, please have them wait outside and don't come in to disturb us."

Several guards and maids retreated as requested, and Yuzhu stayed behind to help.

Doctor Zhou glanced back at Yuzhu, and seeing her pale face, he was shocked. "You look very ill too, like you'll fall down if the wind blows. How can you do your job? Let's get someone else."

Yuzhu said, "I'm very nimble and can do anything. Just give me your orders, Imperial Physician."

"Have you got that old habit of wanting to take everyone's pulse and diagnose them again?" Doctor Fan, the older doctor, turned around and said, "Saving lives is the most important thing. This girl looks quite clever to me. Stop talking nonsense and come here."

Upon hearing the sound, Imperial Physician Zhou stepped forward and together with Imperial Physician Fan gave acupuncture to the unconscious Master Gu.

Yuzhu stepped forward holding a lantern to illuminate the way for the two imperial physicians.

The rainy day was gray and the firelight illuminated the curtains.

Yuzhu looked at Gu Yuanjia who was lying quietly. She had not looked at Master Gu directly like this for a long, long time.

In her impression, Gu Yuanjia always had a smile on his face, as if no matter what happened, he would not let Young Master Gu lose his composure.

Before Gu Yuanjia followed Prince Chang'an to Xizhou, he had met her by chance in the prince's palace.

At that time, Yuzhu didn't even have time to hide from him, and they didn't even have time to say a word to each other.

She couldn't even remember what Gu Yuanjia said at the time. She only knew that Young Master Gu smiled helplessly and stuffed a box of Zhenweixuan's lotus cake into her hands.

Yuzhu is sensible and smart, and actually a bit of a foodie, especially hibiscus cake.

After coming to the Chang'an Palace, Chunzhi treated her very well and prepared all three meals for her according to the standards of a master. Yuzhu was used to saving money, so she would not buy food outside.

Young Master Gu said that it was given to him by someone else and he didn't like to eat it. If Yuzhu didn't want it, then he could only throw it away.

Yuzhu still didn't want it, so Gu Yuanjia said, "Then I'll trouble Miss Yuzhu to help me throw it away."

Then he turned and left.

This delicious lotus cake was still steaming, so Yuzhu naturally didn't want to throw it away.

Yuzhu thought of Gu Yuanjia at that time, and then looked at the man in front of her with a pale face and bloodless lips. It was really hard to connect the two.

I haven't seen him for just a few months, how come he has become like this?

Doctor Zhou said, "Move the lamp a little closer."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhu immediately came to her senses and handed the lamp forward.

The two imperial doctors gave Gu Yuanjia acupuncture, changed the medicine, and fed him two pills. By the time they were done, most of the night had passed.

The imperial physicians were sweating from exhaustion. Doctor Zhou wiped his forehead with his sleeve and said to Yuzhu, "Please come in, Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

Yuzhu really wanted to ask when Gu Yuanjia would wake up, but seeing that both imperial doctors were frowning, she didn't dare to ask.

She was afraid of hearing something bad.

Yuzhu placed the lamp on the table beside the couch, walked over and opened the door, "The imperial physician wants to see the prince and princess."

Huo Zheng had been waiting outside for a long time and had already changed into clean clothes. Upon hearing the words, he strode inside.

As Chunzhi walked in with him, she reached out and held Yuzhu's hand, saying softly, "You don't look well. Sit down and rest for a while."

"I'm fine." Yuzhu's voice was a little hoarse.

Chunzhi touched Yuzhu's face lovingly. As they walked in together, they overheard the imperial physician say to Huo Zheng, "Your Highness, this young master Gu is seriously injured and has missed the best time for treatment. We have done our best. Whether he can wake up depends on his fate."
