Chapter 67 Reasons
Gu Leyou listened to the general idea of the story.
Only then did she realize that the Lord of Yunchuan City, Chen Lefeng, was injured a few days ago and was treated by her.
He might have been hunted down by the old city lord’s eldest son. After all, the position of city lord was what all these sons wanted.
It is normal for brothers to fight each other.
But what happened in between?
Gu Leyou has no idea.
As the days passed, Gu Leyou was still busy in his own clinic, treating various injuries and illnesses.
This clinic was the one she had treated after the Yunchuan City Lord Chen Lefeng, who sent someone to deliver the deed to this clinic after he returned.
So she worked in this clinic and treated patients who came and went.
But the matter of Chen Lefeng took root in her heart like a seed.
One day, a masked man came to the clinic. He had a slender figure and sharp eyes. As soon as he entered the door, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is Miss Gu practicing medicine here?" Gu Leyou was startled and nodded.
The man looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before he slowly spoke: "I believe you know something about City Lord Chen. Now the city lord is in danger and the situation in the city is in chaos. The eldest son took advantage of the situation to control most of the troops and wanted to forcibly succeed to the throne, but the city lord still has a wish, so he sent me to seek your help."
Gu Leyou looked hesitant. She was just a doctor and it was not wise to get involved in the disputes in the City Lord's Mansion. But thinking of how Chen Lefeng was seriously injured and dying that day but still maintained his dignity, he felt a little bit reluctant.
"I'm just a doctor, how can I help?" she asked softly.
The masked man took a step closer and said, "Miss, you are a miracle worker. The city lord's injury has relapsed. Please save him."
Gu Leyou gritted his teeth and finally agreed. Following the masked man into the City Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion was depressing and the servants all looked hurried.
When I arrived at Chen Lefeng's dormitory, I saw him lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak breath.
Gu Leyou stepped forward to feel his pulse, brows furrowed. This injury was more serious than she had expected. Not only had his old injury relapsed, but he also seemed to have been poisoned by a chronic poison that was eroding his body.
While he was thinking, there was a sudden noise outside, and then the door was slammed open, and the eldest master rushed in with a group of guards.
Seeing Gu Leyou, his face darkened: "What are you doing here, little medical girl? Are you planning to plot against me together with this dying man?"
Gu Leyou stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Young Master, the city lord is now injured and sick. As the eldest brother, you should care more about your brothers at this time."
The eldest son snorted coldly: "What do you know? This city lord position should have been mine. If he hadn't used a dirty trick to take it away, the city lord of Yunchuan City should have been me."
The atmosphere in the house was tense. Gu Leyou knew that she was caught in the center of the vortex. It would be extremely difficult to extricate herself. But since she had agreed to help, she could only bite the bullet and think of a way to find a just path in this brotherly fight and bring peace to Yunchuan City.
"I'm just a little doctor. Don't embarrass me, sir. I'm just treating him."
"Do you think I will believe you?" the eldest son asked with a cold snort.
"My Lord, whether you believe me or not, what I said is true."
At this time, the eldest son suddenly drew out the long sword at his waist, pointed it at the dying city lord Chen Lefeng on the bed, and asked Gu Leyou, "What do you think will happen to them if I kill him now?"
"Young Master, don't be impulsive. We are brothers. We can talk it out. Besides, she is seriously ill and may not survive. If you kill her now, it would be unfair."
After hearing what Gu Leyou said, the eldest son showed a ferocious smile on his face, but he did not put down the sword in his hand.
"Humph, my own brother? Has he ever cared about the brotherhood over the years? He has been clinging to the position of city lord, leaving us to be inferior to him."
Gu Leyou was extremely anxious and looked around the house, trying to find a way out.
She caught a glimpse of the city lord's seal on the bedside, and her heart moved, and she said loudly: "My Lord, what will happen if you kill the city lord now?
Yunchuan City has just been stabilized not long ago, and various forces are eyeing it covetously. Without the seal of the city lord, how can you convince the people even if you sit in that position? No matter how much you want to sit on that position, you still have to consider the people of this entire city. Do you want the people to live in misery and suffer? ”
When the eldest son heard this, his eyes narrowed, and it was obvious that these words hit him sore.
Although he holds military power, without the seal, his authority would be unclear and his orders would be difficult to carry out.
While he was hesitating, Chen Lefeng, who had been lying on the bed dying, suddenly started coughing violently and vomited blood.
Gu Leyou didn't care about anything else. He turned around and ran to the bedside. He quickly took out a few silver needles from the medicine box, found the acupuncture points and gave acupuncture in an attempt to stabilize his injuries.
Seeing this, the eldest son approached with a sword, the tip of the sword almost touching Gu Leyou's back, "Little doctor, if you dare to play tricks, you will be buried with him today."
Gu Leyou had no time to pay attention. His forehead was covered with sweat and his hands were moving non-stop.
After a while, Chen Lefeng's vomiting of blood gradually slowed down. He opened his eyes slightly and saw the tense scene in the house. He smiled miserably: "Brother, do you really want to kill us all?"
The eldest son snorted coldly: "At this point, what else do you have to say?"
Chen Lefeng looked at Gu Leyou, panting, his eyes full of apology and instructions.
Gu Leyou understood, took a deep breath, and turned to the eldest son: "Eldest son, the city lord's life is at stake now. If you take action now, you will only bear the stigma of killing your brother. It is better for us to work together to stabilize the situation in Yunchuan City.
When the city lord recovers, the two of you can compete fairly for the position of city lord, how about that? I am willing to guarantee with my life that I will not side with either side during this period. ”
The eldest son looked hesitant, and everyone in the room held their breath, waiting for his decision.
After a long while, the eldest son slowly put down his sword and said, "Okay, little doctor girl, I will trust you this time, but if there is any mistake, you know the consequences."
Gu Leyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the situation had been stabilized temporarily. However, there were still many problems ahead in terms of how to resolve the misunderstandings between her brothers and defuse the crisis in the city. She could only take one step at a time.
After treating the city lord, the eldest son sent someone to send Gu Leyou back to the clinic.
Lu Yan came back with the child at this time. Seeing his wife looking worried, he asked with concern: "Wife, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I will teach him a lesson."
"That's not the case. It's just that the city lord was seriously ill again, and I went to treat him. The old city lord's eldest son actually wanted to kill him in front of me. I persuaded him and he let the city lord go."
"How could you get involved in the fight between these two brothers?" Lu Yan was a little worried.
"I don't want to either, but the city lord has been kind to us. How can we not help him when he is in trouble?" Gu Leyou asked back.
