Chapter 265 Was it her last night?
"Your Highness..." Gu Yuanjia's voice was very soft, hoarse and unpleasant.
"Don't talk for now, just take a rest."
Huo Zheng said this and turned to look outside the door. Just then, Doctor Zhou was invited by Cui'er and was walking into the house.
Chunzhi raised her hand and said, "Please come in, Doctor Zhou."
"Young Master Gu is awake. He's truly blessed." Doctor Zhou walked in and saw that Gu Yuanjia had already woken up. A smile immediately appeared on his face. "For someone seriously injured and unconscious, the most worrying thing is that the high fever won't subside and they won't wake up. Now that Young Master Gu is awake, he's passed the most difficult stage. It's worth it for the prince to take Young Master Gu's blood for the medicine."
"Take blood and use it as medicine?"
Gu Yuanjia had just woken up and his mind was still a little confused. When he heard the imperial physician say this, his eyes fell on Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng's left hand was wrapped in layers of white cloth, which was very obvious.
Huo Zheng saw Gu Yuanjia's eyes on his hand and immediately said, "It's good that Yuanjia is awake. What's the big deal about taking some blood?"
He then said to Doctor Zhou, "Please, Doctor, take another look at Yuanjia and see if today's prescription needs any adjustments. If you need my blood, feel free to ask."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take Mr. Gu's pulse first." Doctor Zhou said as he walked forward to take Gu Yuanjia's pulse.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Chunzhi walked up and stood next to Huo Zheng, signaling him with her eyes not to worry too much.
Huo Zheng nodded slightly, and neither of them spoke.
Doctor Zhou sat beside the couch and took Gu Yuanjia's pulse, but Master Gu looked behind the Prince and Princess Chang'an. The person he wanted to see was not there.
When Mingming was unconscious, he vaguely heard Yuzhu talking to him.
For a moment, Gu Yuanjia didn't know whether he was hallucinating because he was injured too badly, or whether Yuzhu had really come.
"Mr. Gu, stay calm and don't overthink it."
After taking Gu Yuanjia's pulse for a while, Doctor Zhou gave a reminder.
Gu Yuanjia smiled weakly and replied, "Okay."
Doctor Zhou stroked his beard and continued to feel Young Master Gu's pulse. After a long while, he withdrew his hand and said, "Young Master Gu has luckily survived. How much he can recover depends entirely on his subsequent treatment and recuperation. Remember to take your medicine on time, avoid overexerting yourself, and don't get angry, which can harm your body. Leave the medical treatment to me. As for personal caregivers, please ask Your Highness and Princess to find some smart and efficient people."
Chunzhi immediately replied, "Okay," and said, "I will arrange for the servants myself. Please ask the imperial physician to prescribe a new prescription."
"Bring me a pen and paper," Doctor Zhou said, walking to the table to write a new prescription. After finishing, he gave another instruction, "Boil it according to the prescribed dosage. Remember to drink it all. Don't just drink a few sips and pass out. Don't just do it half-heartedly."
Cui Er stepped forward to take the prescription and said solemnly, "Don't worry, Imperial Physician, we understand."
"This little girl isn't as attentive as the one from yesterday." Doctor Zhou saw Cui'er was a stranger and asked about the one from yesterday. "What about the one who helped in the room yesterday? I think she was very good."
Hearing the voice, Gu Yuanjia looked at Chunzhi.
He seemed to have a feeling that the person Doctor Zhou was asking about was the one he wanted to see.
Chunzhi knew that Doctor Zhou was asking about Yuzhu, so she said, "She changed shifts and went to rest."
"That's right. No matter how capable that girl is, she can't be on duty for twelve hours."
Doctor Zhou gave Gu Yuanjia a few more instructions, and finally reminded him emphatically: "Remember, remember, you must not get out of bed and walk around for the next few days. If the wound opens again, it will be troublesome."
Gu Yuanjia murmured "Okay".
Huo Zheng also said, "Don't worry, Doctor Zhou. I will personally watch over Yuan Jia these days and will not let him get out of bed and move around, which will cause damage to his wound."
"With your words, Your Highness, I feel relieved. Take good care of Mr. Gu. I will come back to your house tomorrow to change his medicine."
Doctor Zhou was about to take his leave after saying this. Imperial doctors were different from ordinary doctors. Staying overnight in the Chang'an Palace was already an exception. If he stayed in the palace for several days, the Imperial Hospital would not be able to explain.
Seeing that Huo Zheng still had something to say to Gu Yuanjia, Chunzhi offered, "I'll see the doctor off."
"I dare not trouble your princess." Doctor Zhou declined quickly.
Chunzhi said, "Of course, please, Imperial Physician Zhou."
"Please come in, Princess." Doctor Zhou went out in great fear.
Chunzhi looked back at Huo Zheng and walked out of the house with Cui'er. She went to see Doctor Zhou off while Cui'er went to get the medicine.
Soon, only Huo Zheng and Gu Yuanjia were left in the room.
Huo Zheng asked Gu Yuanjia: "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Gu Yuanjia was indeed thirsty, and he didn't want to be polite. He said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Huo Zheng walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water.
The water was still warm. Yuzhu was very careful in her work. She had been staying here all night and even prepared the tea so well.
Huo Zheng sighed inwardly and walked to the couch with the teacup in hand. Gu Yuanjia tried to sit up, but he held her down. "Don't move. Doctor Zhou just said that your wound can't open again."
Gu Yuanjia had no choice but to lie down. He stretched out his hand to take the teacup, but Huo Zheng didn't give it to him. Instead, he fed it directly to his mouth and said, "Drink."
Gu Yuanjia couldn't help but smile, and his pale and handsome face suddenly became lively.
Huo Zheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, "What are you laughing at?"
"It just suddenly occurred to me..." Gu Yuanjia said hoarsely, "The prince has learned to be considerate and meticulous when taking care of the princess, but now, ahem, I'm taking advantage of him."
"Since you are like this, just talk less and drink water."
Huo Zheng tilted the teacup, and some tea poured out, moistening Gu Yuanjia's lips. The latter didn't bother to speak and drank the whole glass of water.
Huo Zheng took back the teacup and asked him, "Do you want to drink more?"
"I'm not drinking anymore." Gu Yuanjia suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Huo Zheng, "Your Majesty, who was guarding my bed last night?"
Huo Zheng didn't answer but asked, "Who do you think it is?"
Gu Yuanjia thought it was Yuzhu, but he knew that Prince Chang'an actually didn't like him to be entangled with Yuzhu, so he was a little uncertain at this time.
"Don't overthink it. Everyone around you is from my palace. You blocked a sword for me, so I will repay you." Huo Zheng said sternly, "Whatever you want, just tell me directly. If only I have it and can give it to you, I will definitely give it to you."
Gu Yuanjia said in a weak voice, "Your Majesty's words are as good as gold. I take them seriously."
"You can take it seriously," Huo Zheng said. "You can take your time to think about it. There's no time limit for this."
Gu Yuanjia said, "Don't think about it for so long. I just have an unwelcome request right now."
Huo Zheng said gently, "Yuanjia, please feel free to speak."
Gu Yuanjia asked, "Can you let Yuzhu take care of me?"
Huo Zheng frowned slightly. "Yuzhu is already a married woman. It might not be appropriate to ask her to take care of you for a long time. Yuanjia, you are a talented person of our time. You have great potential in the future. You can choose any beautiful woman as your confidante. Why..."
"If it's not working for a long time, will it be okay for a short time?" Gu Yuanjia heard something from Prince Chang'an's words. "Last night...was it Yuzhu who was guarding my bed last night?"
