Chapter 261 Huo Zheng is coming back
When Chunzhi heard this, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.
Huo Zheng is coming back!
Huo Yanran also smiled and said, "Seventh Brother is coming back, that's great!"
The high-ranking female official who came to deliver the message from the palace said, "It's just that Princess Xiling will be coming to the capital with Prince Chang'an this time..."
Upon hearing this, Song Wan'er and others looked at Chunzhi, worried that she would take it to heart.
Chunzhi, however, remained calm and said, "Princess Xiling wants to stay in Daxing to marry, so she naturally has to come to the capital."
"Sister-in-law..." Huo Yanran wanted to comfort Chunzhi.
Chunzhi smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about what I'm not worried about."
Upon hearing this, Song Wan'er immediately echoed her sister's words, saying, "When a car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way; when water reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten itself. Everything will be discussed after the prince returns."
Yuzhu nodded and said, "Wan'er is right."
Chunzhi thanked Lady Cao for delivering the message and personally escorted her out. Then she went to pick up Xiaoxing and gently asked him, "Are you happy that Daddy is coming back?"
Xiaoxing was very happy as long as he was held by his mother, and he waved his little hands to express his happiness.
The trees in the yard are lush and green, and the flowers are swaying and blooming. In the blink of an eye, it is late March.
Chunzhi and Xiaoxinghui counted the days together waiting for Huo Zheng to come back.
Song Wan'er's coming-of-age ceremony was approaching, and Chunzhi, Huo Yanran and the others were helping with the preparations. The time passed quickly.
On the day Huo Zheng led his men back to the capital, Chunzhi came back early with Xiaoxing in her arms, and waited for them at the gate of Chang'an Palace with Huo Yanran and the others.
She originally wanted to go outside the city to pick him up, but the weather was not good that day and it started raining the night before.
The rain was quite heavy, and there were lightning and thunder in the sky. It was really not suitable for travel.
So Chunzhi had to give up the idea of going out of the city to pick up Huo Zheng and the others, and instead waited in front of the palace.
The maids stood in front of the door with umbrellas in their hands. The rain fell on the ground, splashing everywhere and gathering into a stream.
Chunzhi and the others waited outside the door for a long time but no one showed up. She was worried that Xiaoxing would catch a cold and that Song Wan'er's body would not be able to withstand the cold wind, so she asked the wet nurse to take the child back first. She then said to the sisters, "Wan'er and Yanran, go in and wait too. I'll be fine here."
"How can that be?" Huo Yanran said, "I haven't seen Seventh Brother for so long, and I miss him so much. I want to see him sooner. Sister-in-law can't stop me from picking him up here."
Chunzhi was speechless for a moment.
Seeing this, Song Wan'er immediately said, "I heard that there are many young talents around the Prince of Chang'an. They are not only outstanding in ability, but also very good-looking. Apart from today, how can I find another opportunity to see a handsome man? Sister, please don't chase me in."
Chunzhi felt even more helpless after hearing this.
These one by one.
Yuzhu was holding an umbrella for her, so she would not go in to avoid the rain.
Chunzhi swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and changed her words to: "Then let's just wait."
She looked up at the sky full of dark clouds and the wind and rain.
In such weather, waiting for the return of the people makes people feel a little uneasy.
Huo Yanran felt a little cold, so she gathered her clothes and said softly, "Seventh Brother will definitely be here soon."
I don't know whether this is to comfort myself or my sister-in-law.
Chunzhi hummed, "It's windy and rainy, and the road is difficult to walk on. We might be delayed for a while."
The voices were blown away by the wind, and suddenly several people came on horseback from the end of the long street, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the gate of the palace.
The leader was Tan Qi, who was covered in blood. As soon as he saw Chunzhi, he jumped off his horse and said, "Princess, hurry! Send someone to call the imperial physician!"
The rain washed over Tan Qi's armor, and almost as soon as he approached, Chunzhi and others smelled the smell of blood.
What's more, he came in a hurry, and his first words were to ask the princess to send someone to call the imperial physician.
Chunzhi's heart skipped a beat, and without asking any further questions, she quickly ordered Jianghe, who had the fastest legs, to call the imperial physician.
Jiang He followed the order and left, disappearing into the rain curtain in the blink of an eye.
After Chunzhi made all the arrangements, she turned back and asked Tan Qi, "General Tan, is the prince injured? How seriously is he injured?"
Huo Yanran and the others also fell silent, waiting for Tan Qi's answer.
"In reply to the princess," Tan Qi said, "Your Highness is fine. It was Young Master Gu who was injured. We are returning to the capital with Your Highness, traveling overnight to arrive as soon as possible... Last night, we were attacked on the way. Young Master Gu blocked an arrow for Your Highness and was seriously injured. His life is in danger."
"What?" Yuzhu's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she felt unsteady. "Gu Yuanjia... he has always been the one who knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. How could it be, how could it be..."
Chunzhi quickly reached out to support Yuzhu and asked, "What did the doctor say?"
Tan Qi said, "The prince went to find a doctor nearby to treat Master Gu's injuries, but the doctor said his medical skills were not very good and he could only stop the bleeding and keep him alive, but he couldn't wake him up. If we want to save Master Gu's life, we need to find a better doctor."
It would be best if the imperial physician could treat him.
So Huo Zheng thought it over again and again, and finally brought the seriously injured and unconscious Gu Yuanjia back to the capital.
Tan Qi went ahead and returned to the palace to ask someone to invite the imperial physician.
In this way, when they bring Gu Yuanjia back, they can immediately let the imperial physician start treating him.
When Yuzhu heard what Tan Qi said, her ears buzzed, as if she could not hear anything.
She only knew that Gu Yuanjia was dying.
Gu Yuanjia was so precious about life and so young, why was he going to die?
Yuzhu couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Sister Yuzhu, what's wrong? Is it too cold outside?" Song Wan'er was startled when she saw this and quickly said, "If you're cold, don't stay out here in the wind. Go inside and put on some clothes."
Yuzhu seemed not to hear her and did not react at all.
Song Wan'er became more and more puzzled and wanted to say something else.
Chunzhi also said, "Yuzhu, you go in first."
"I...I want to see how he is."
Yuzhu's words were almost squeezed out of her throat, and her voice was completely hoarse.
Song Wan'er didn't know about Yuzhu and Gu Yuanjia's past, and she felt even more puzzled. "It's hard to look at a seriously injured person. You'd better not look at him. Go inside and rest first."
Huo Yanran looked at Yuzhu twice more. Although Yuzhu came from a poor family, she was very capable. She had never seen Yuzhu lose her composure for any reason. She couldn't help but wonder what the relationship between Yuzhu and Mr. Gu was.
After all, the Thirteenth Princess was two years older than Song Wan'er and had seen more than her, so she did not ask directly at the moment and even held Song Wan'er back to prevent her from asking further questions.
Yuzhu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said to Chunzhi in a hoarse voice, "Sister, I'm fine, you don't need to help me."
Chunzhi said, "I'm cold, and I want to be closer to you. Is that not okay?"
Of course Yuzhu couldn't say no.
There was wind and rain outside the door, and they leaned on each other and warmed each other with their body temperature.
Soon, Jiang He invited the two imperial physicians on duty at the Imperial Hospital.
Prince Chang'an's troops also entered the city and headed straight for the Prince Chang'an's Palace...
