Chapter 80 Why not make this night come true?
Jiang Xue had already begun to doubt Gu Lintan's identity today.
First of all, there is Gu Lintan. According to what Jiang Yu said about the Ministry of Rites' verification of students' academic records, he grew up in a poor family. His widowed mother had been a widow for many years, and she relied on a few acres of thin land to raise him and provide him with funds for his studies and imperial examinations.
Gu Lintan is a man with a reputation for virtue in the court. How could such a virtuous and filial man, after passing the imperial examination, and even now having become the emperor's son-in-law, still forget to bring his old mother to the capital to enjoy a good life?
Secondly, since Suxi and her son were his original wife and children in his hometown, why did he use a mute servant to serve them and not let them go out on weekdays, as if he was extremely afraid of being discovered?
If he was really coerced or reached some deal with someone, then the people behind him would not be unaware of the fact that he had married and had children as long as they did a little investigation in Hedong.
If he really was only pursuing power and hiding the existence of this mother and child - there was no need for him to take the risk of bringing them to the capital to look after them personally.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to send the person to Hedong, like he did to his mother?
However, he was willing to take risks and guard against it, probably not only to hide it from her, but also to prevent others from taking advantage of his weakness.
Jiang Xue had a frightening doubt in her heart.
Is there a possibility that Gu Lintan, even Gu Lintan’s identity, is fake?
She lowered her head and secretly looked at Gu Lintan's face.
Clear, handsome, pure as frost and snow.
They are clearly from a poor family, but for some reason they have a certain air of nobility.
If he was not Gu Lintan from the beginning, then who was he?
Jiang Xue's heart sank, and the two of them suddenly fell into silence.
After a long while, Gu Lintan raised his head and looked at her, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for comforting me. I also want to do something for Your Highness."
Jiang Xue was stunned and asked, "What can you do for me?"
"The Prime Minister is ill, and Your Highness is worried every day. I have some friendship with Mr. Yan Zhe, and I know that he is an excellent doctor. Therefore, I have written a visiting card and sent someone to deliver it. If the Prime Minister is still seriously ill in a few days, I will personally recommend him to the Prime Minister's residence as a doctor."
Jiang Xue understood why they were admiring the moonlight. So this was the purpose.
That was good, it would be convenient for her to come clean and provoke him.
She smiled sweetly and pretended to be surprised: "My husband actually thought the same thing as me!"
"I was thinking of asking Mr. Yan about his residence these days and visiting him in person."
"Ever since Mr. Yan took care of my health, I can sleep well every day. I used to have trouble sleeping, but now I can sleep for five or six hours a day. I think I should thank him."
Five or six hours? Gu Lintan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Jiang Xue had not yet discovered that there was something wrong with the medicine Yan Zhe gave her. For ordinary people, sleeping for three or four hours a day was already a lot. If they continued to be sleepy for five or six hours, would it be a problem?
"Mr. Yan has taken great pains for me, so this thank you gift must not be small. So——"
Jiang Xue stretched out the last syllable, pretending to be naughty.
"So what?" Gu Lintan asked quickly.
"I have sent my servants out to help me find a shop in a suitable location. I will buy it in the next few days and give it to Mr. Yan as a clinic. What do you think, Prince Consort?"
Gu Lintan was extremely surprised and asked, "Does Mr. Yan agree to this?"
Yan Zheke never handed him a letter.
Could it be that this person had secretly taken advantage of sending medicine to Jiang Xue? It was unlikely that Yan Zhe had given Jiang Xue the medicine himself, unless he was crazy.
"I haven't said it yet," Jiang Xue shook her head, her face full of innocent expression, and said: "Since the prince consort has some friendship with him, why don't you help me to speak for him? I think he won't refuse."
Gu Lintan nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
It seems like it's time for him to go find Yan Zhe.
He looked deeply at Jiang Xue, and suddenly put his arms around her waist.
Jiang Xue was caught off guard and fell into Gu Lintan's arms.
Alarm bells immediately rang in her heart, but she couldn't resist too obviously, so she had to pretend to be a little shy in panic, and struggled softly:
"Prince Consort, don't forget what Mr. Yan said...you and I cannot have sex for more than a month."
Gu Lintan buried his head in her hair and sniffed deeply, saying intoxicatedly, "I heard from Huang Fu that he hasn't come to deliver medicine for two days. I think His Highness must be much better now."
Jiang Xue's anger suddenly rose. She really couldn't stand the two men being so frivolous in the same day.
She looked at Fudong and Xiaochun in the corridor in the distance. The two of them were eagerly leaning over to look over here. She calmed herself down, shook her head slightly, and signaled them to stay calm.
Huang Fu no longer had any other power except to manage Gu Lintan's affairs, but he still knew whether He Zhilin had come to deliver medicine.
Jiang Xue sneered in her heart, but spoke softly, "Mr. Yan prepared a lot of medicine for me a few days ago, and I take it every day. Prince Consort," she stretched out her hand and gently pushed his chest, saying, "You should wait until I grow up, so that you can feel at ease inside and outside the palace."
Gu Lintan held her hands tighter and tighter.
He looked up at the wine glass on the table, but Jiang Xue didn't drink a sip.
His face suddenly turned cold, but after a moment he smiled again and said, "It's cold at night, Your Highness, drink this wine that will warm you up and help you sleep. I'll take you back to Wenqingxuan."
Jiang Xue gathered her cloak and said, "I'm still taking medicine, how can I drink?"
Gu Lintan smiled and said softly, "I have asked the imperial physician. This wine is good for your health and helps you sleep. Drinking some will be good for your health."
He loosened one hand and reached forward to take the wine glass.
Jiang Xue took advantage of this opportunity to quickly stand up with the help of the stone table, rubbed her forehead with her hand, and looked tired.
"I think Mr. Yan's medicine has taken effect. I feel very sleepy again. This wine is good. Why not save it for another day and not let down the prince consort's kindness."
Gu Lintan's hand holding the wine glass froze in the air.
What does Jiang Xue mean?
A slap in the face, a sweet date. Sometimes she is unreasonable, sometimes she comforts him, sometimes she acts like a princess, and sometimes she humbles herself to show kindness to him.
Want to refuse but also to welcome?
Gu Lintan sneered in his heart, but he didn't have time to play this kind of reluctant but welcoming drama with her.
He stood up, put one hand on Jiang Xue's shoulders, and with the other hand passed the wine glass to her lips, and said softly: "Your Highness, since you know your husband's good intentions, why don't you make it happen tonight?"
Jiang Xue was trying to find a way to escape when she saw Fu Dong walking towards her aggressively.
He was originally waiting for Fu Dong to interrupt Gu Lintan's behavior, but Huang Fu suddenly came running over.
"My lord, my lord."
Gu Lintan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Huang Fu was panting, holding his old waist and breathing heavily, and said, "A distinguished guest has arrived."
Distinguished guest?
Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows. These words were exactly the same as what she said on their wedding night. Now Gu Lintan must be eager to get rid of her.
But Gu Lintan asked in a deep voice: "What distinguished guest? Didn't you tell her that you wouldn't see any guests tonight?"
Huang Fu wanted to cry but had no tears. He said, "Yes, it's a noble envoy from the country of Gan, claiming to be a prince."
Jing Ye? !
Jiang Xue and Gu Lintan both showed surprised expressions.
Gu Lintan said impatiently: "What is he doing here in the middle of the night!"
