Chapter 264 Guarding Him All Night

It was already completely dark outside. There was wind and rain outside, and the branches and leaves in the yard were swaying. The shadows of the trees were reflected on the window, disturbing Yuzhu's heart.

Gu Yuanjia seemed to be able to get along well with everyone, but in fact he never trusted anyone easily. Even when he was unconscious, he was more cautious than others, and it was difficult to feed him medicine.

Yuzhu patiently fed him a little at a time, but most of the food still overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

She wiped the medicine stains off Gu Yuanjia's lips with a handkerchief and said to him, "My dear, this is the medicine that Prince Chang'an made for you by taking blood from him. You have to drink it to get better..."

Yuzhu didn't know whether Gu Yuanjia could hear her or not, but in this situation, the imperial physician said that they had to give it a try, so she had no other choice but to try to make Gu Yuanjia less resistant to taking the medicine.

She fed him as she spoke, but some of the medicine still overflowed from the corners of Gu Yuanjia's mouth.

The imperial physician said that this medicine must be taken in full to achieve its maximum effect.

The other herbs are still available and can be boiled again, but the blood of Prince Chang'an cannot be taken again and again.

Yuzhu was a little anxious, calling him "Gu Yuanjia" by his full name. "You've taken refuge with the Prince of Chang'an and done so many things. Now I see that the prince trusts you more and more. This time you even blocked a sword for him. In the future, the prince will favor you more just because you saved his life. Power, fame, and wealth, everything you want will be yours soon. Are you willing to die like this?"

Gu Yuanjia frowned, as if he had heard Yuzhu's words and reacted.

Seeing this, Yuzhu's heart tightened, and she immediately said, "Hurry up and swallow the medicine. You will get better after drinking it."

As she spoke, she continued to feed Gu Yuanjia medicine.

Young Master Gu actually swallowed the medicine bit by bit. Yuzhu fed him a whole bowl of it, spoonful by spoonful. After placing the bowl of soup on the table beside the couch, she used a handkerchief to wipe the medicine stains from the corners of Gu Yuanjia's mouth.

There was no one else in the room, and it was quiet at night, with only the sounds of wind and rain.

Yuzhu sat beside the couch, quietly looking at Gu Yuanjia's eyebrows.

She had served Mr. Gu for several years and had taken personal care of him.

When she was young and naive, and just beginning to fall in love, she saw such a talented and handsome young man in front of her, who personally taught her to play the piano and held her hand to paint. Yuzhu secretly fell in love with him.

What's more, Gu Yuanjia treated her very well, so well that Madam Gu called her over and told her clearly not to seduce the eldest son without permission and not to have any shameful thoughts. She would wait until the eldest son married a wife and she would make her a concubine.

Mrs. Gu thought she had arranged the best path for Yuzhu, but she didn't know that a few words would wake her up.

Yuzhu, who had just begun to experience the taste of love, was frightened and suddenly woke up. She cut off the budding love with her own hands and returned to the position of a maid. No matter how good or special Gu Yuanjia was to her, she dared not overstep the line.

Yuzhu knew in her heart that the relationship between two people with such different statuses was doomed to have no good outcome.

It was perfectly normal for her to like Gu Yuanjia, but she preferred freedom, money, and returning to a good family...

But fate played a trick on her. When Yuzhu was about to leave the house, she met the drunk Gu Yuanjia. They had that absurd night together, and by some strange coincidence, she left with Nian'er.

Every time Yuzhu thought that she and Gu Yuanjia would never meet again, he would appear inexplicably and live with her in the Chang'an Palace, so they would see each other every day.

Yuzhu had always hoped that Gu Yuanjia would stay away from her, and it would be best if they never met again in this life, so that he would never know that Nian'er was his own flesh and blood.

But even so, she didn't want Gu Yuanjia to die.

Even if we cannot be together with the person we once loved, we still hope that he can live a peaceful life and get what he wants.

Yuzhu wiped the sweat from Gu Yuanjia's forehead and said to him, "Gu Yuanjia, wake up quickly. The glory and fame you desire are within your reach. If you die in this moment, you won't be willing to accept it, will you?"

Gu Yuanjia, who was in a coma, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Yuzhu's wrist.

I don't know where he got the strength from, but he actually pulled her so tightly.

Yuzhu wanted to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.

But she thought that Gu Yuanjia's reaction should be a good thing, so she let him pull her and continued to say to him: "You have to wake up quickly, Gu Yuanjia."

Unfortunately, Gu Yuanjia still did not respond.

Yuzhu stayed by Gu Yuanjia's bed all night. Before dawn the next day, Huo Zheng and Chunzhi came together.

When they entered the room and walked to the couch, Yuzhu was asleep on Gu Yuanjia's pillow, with her wrist still being held by Master Gu.

Anyone who sees this will feel that the relationship between these two people is extraordinary.

When Huo Zheng saw this scene, he was speechless for a moment.

Fortunately, no outsiders came in. Chunzhi called out "Yuzhu."

Yuzhu woke up immediately, looked up at the two of them, was startled at first, and then immediately tried to pull back her wrist that was held by Gu Yuanjia.

But Mr. Gu didn't know what was going on. When he was awake, he still cared about etiquette and rules, but now that he was unconscious, he completely ignored them.

He just grabbed hold of someone and wouldn't let go.

Yuzhu's face turned red and white, not knowing how to explain the current situation.

Seeing Huo Zheng about to speak, Chunzhi immediately spoke first, "Mr. Gu, what's going on? Is he responding? He looks quite strong, so I think he's getting better. Qilang... look."

When Chunzhi was in Linshui Town, she always called Huo Zheng "Huo Qi". After arriving in the capital, she usually called him "Prince". Only when she was in a hurry would she call him Huo Zheng with his full name. But Huo Yanran told her privately, "Sister-in-law, don't be fooled by the serious appearance of Brother Qi. In fact, he definitely wants you to call him husband. If you feel it's boring to call him husband every day, you can call him Qilang."

Only the people closest to Huo Zheng call him "Qillang".

The fact shows that Huo Zheng really benefited from Chunzhi's shouting.

Huo Zheng glanced at Chunzhi, then turned to look at Gu Yuanjia holding Yuzhu's hand. After a moment of silence, he said, "Gu Yuanjia must be conscious now. Let the imperial physician come in and take a look."

Chunzhi replied "OK", turned around and told the maid outside the door to call the imperial physician.

Upon hearing this, Yuzhu immediately broke free from Gu Yuanjia's hand with strength she didn't know where she came from, and stood up immediately. "The prince and princess are here, so there's nothing for me to do here. I'll go see Nian'er."

As she said this, she hurried away.

"Yuzhu..." Chunzhi wanted to say something, but this person left in the rain without even opening an umbrella.

She paused, and when she looked back at the bed, she saw Huo Zheng leaning over and lifting a corner of the quilt to cover Gu Yuanjia's hand.

At this moment, Gu Yuanjia's hand suddenly moved.

After a moment, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes...

Huo Zheng's face showed a hint of joy, "Yuan Jia, you're awake."
