Xianzong stood in the autumn wind field for more than half an hour before two secret guards who were sent by Xianzong to look for someone found the unconscious Gu Xinglang on a cobblestone path among the flowers. This place was not far from where Xianzong and Yu Ziyi were, only a hundred meters away.
When Xianzong arrived at the cobblestone path, Gu Xinglang was supported by a secret guard. The secret guard had been shouting at Gu Xinglang for a long time, but the third young master Gu was still unconscious.
Xianzong glanced at his son-in-law and was shocked by Gu Xinglang's pale face due to blood loss. He asked loudly, "How did he get back? Why is he here?!"
Everyone knows that the current prince consort cannot walk now, and no one knows how Gu Xinglang got here.
"Imperial physician, damn it, where is the imperial physician?" Xianzong did not expect anyone to answer his question, so he shouted loudly for the imperial physician.
Xiao Wei held Yu Ziyi in his arms, squatted down and touched Gu Xinglang's face, which was ice-cold.
The secret guard who was holding Gu Xinglang winked at Xiao Wei, turned Gu Xinglang's right hand over, palm facing up, for Xiao Wei to see.
Xiao Wei took a look at Gu Xinglang's hand, and then froze. Gu Xinglang's hand was covered in blood, and there were a few pieces of white mucus mixed in the red blood, which had already solidified into lumps. Xiao Wei stretched out his hand to touch it, but his hand froze in the middle, and he looked up at his friend.
The young secret guard shook his head at the young guard.
Xiao Wei suddenly remembered the two corpses with crushed heads in the courtyard of Lanshu Pavilion. Then, looking at the white sticky lumps in Gu Xinglang's hands, Xiao Wei thought they looked like human brains.
Jingzhong also walked towards Gu Xinglang at this time and said, "Is the Prince Consort injured?"
Xiao Wei reacted subconsciously. He reached out and held Gu Xinglang's hand, then pressed Gu Xinglang's hand on his clothes and wiped it.
The secret guard watched Xiaowei's actions and said to Jingzhong respectfully, "General Manager, the Prince Consort has no injuries, he is just unconscious."
"Why would he faint if he is not injured?" Xianzong asked anxiously while standing not far away.
Xiao Wei blocked Jingzhong's sight with his body, pulled Gu Xinglang's other hand over, pressed it on his clothes, and wiped it quickly.
Jingzhong walked closer, bent down, and looked at Xinglang in the light of a torch beside him.
Xiao Wei and the secret guard who was holding Gu Xinglang were both a little nervous. They protected Gu Xinglang, lowered their heads and remained silent.
Jingzhong looked at Gu Xinglang's pale face, and then looked him up and down, but couldn't see anything, so he said to Xiao Wei: "Look at the prince consort's feet, the prince consort should not hurt his feet again."
"Asshole!" Xiao Wei was frozen in place. Xianzong took a few steps forward and began to scold Jingzhong: "Are you cursing that my son-in-law will be crippled from now on?!"
After being scolded by Emperor Xianzong, Jingzhong dared not stand any longer, and knelt on the ground, saying, "I dare not."
Xianzong stretched his head to take another look at his son-in-law's face, took off the thick cloak he was wearing, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Go and put it on this boy."
The young eunuch came over with a thick cloak and carefully covered Gu Xinglang with it.
Xiao Wei took advantage of this opportunity to wipe off the blood on Gu Xinglang's hands.
Two imperial doctors came running over at this time.
Without waiting for the two doctors to salute him, Emperor Xianzong pointed at Gu Xinglang and said, "No need to salute. Go and show me this boy."
Two imperial doctors came forward to examine Gu Xinglang. Xiao Wei did not dare to leave. He moved aside to make room for the two doctors and then squatted there without moving.
The two imperial doctors were also shocked when they saw Gu Xinglang's pale face due to blood loss. After Gu Xinglang became the prince consort, their imperial hospital would regularly send people to check the prince consort's pulse. The two imperial doctors knew that apart from the injuries, Gu Xinglang's body was basically fine. Why did he become like this now?
Xiao Wei saw the two imperial doctors looking at Gu Xinglang in a daze, and hurriedly whispered, "You two adults, please take a look at my prince consort. What's wrong with him?"
The two imperial doctors came to their senses and hurriedly took Gu Xinglang's pulse.
Xianzong walked around with his hands behind his back, worried about Gu Xinglang and wondering what bad luck he had had recently and why he couldn't live a peaceful day.
A palace maid ran over in a hurry, knelt on the ground far away from Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hua is worried about you. She wants to..."
"What does she want to do?" Emperor Xianzong asked without waiting for the palace maid to finish her words, "Don't you think my place is chaotic enough? I told her to stay in her own palace. The assassin hasn't been caught yet, but she came out to die?"
The palace maid hurriedly said, "I obey your order."
"Get out," Xianzong waved his hand at the palace maid.
The palace maid stood up and left, thinking that her queen's plan to come to the emperor, take the risk to accompany him and comfort him in order to gain more favor, seemed to have failed.
Xianzong glanced at the imperial physician who was still taking Gu Xinglang's pulse, and knew that the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis should not be rushed, so Xianzong could only suppress his anger and continue to walk around with his hands behind his back.
Jingzhong did not dare to stand up until Emperor Xianzong told him to, so he knelt on the ground. After a while, Jingzhong's knees were hurt by the pebbles. Jing Da Zongguan secretly sighed, it seems that he has not knelt like this for too long, and his knees can no longer bear such pain. Jingzhong stole a glance at Emperor Xianzong, and felt uneasy. Emperor Xianzong did not favor him as much as before. If this continued, Jingzhong looked down at the pebbles in front of him. He was a eunuch. Without Emperor Xianzong's favor, could he still be second only to the emperor in the court? It's a fool's dream, a voice in Jingzhong's head shouted.
"What happened?" Xianzong finally saw the imperial physician let go of Gu Xinglang's wrist and asked impatiently.
The two imperial doctors looked at each other. Gu Xinglang was in a coma due to exhaustion. This diagnosis puzzled the two imperial doctors. What could the prince consort do in the palace? Why did he exhaust himself and fall into a coma?
"Speak up!" Xianzong said anxiously, "Can't you two tell what's wrong with this kid?"
An imperial physician considered carefully and said, "I am reporting to Your Majesty that the Prince Consort was overworked and fainted due to exhaustion."
Xianzong felt that there was nothing wrong with the way he got up today. How could he hear such a thing now? Overworked and fainted? His son-in-law was now carried by others when he walked. He didn't have to do any work every day. With people serving him like this, how could this kid be overworked? "You," Xianzong looked at Xiao Wei and said, "What did he do with the princess recently?" Apart from that, Xianzong couldn't think of what else his son-in-law was tired of.
Xiao Wei looked at Xianzong blankly at first, then suddenly understood. Xiao Wei blushed and said, "No, I didn't do anything." His princess probably hasn't consummated her marriage with the prince consort yet. Xiao Wei thought that the prince consort must be tired of talking to his princess every day, but no one would faint from exhaustion, right? Was he too nervous today? Xiao Wei looked at Gu Xinglang again. How to explain the blood and brain matter on Gu Xinglang's hands?
