Chapter 267 Are you not afraid of him again?
Chunzhi specifically ordered that no one should spread the news about Yuzhu being taken care of in Gu Yuanjia's courtyard last night, so Song Wan'er and the others were not aware of it.
Huo Yanran guessed something, picked up a spring roll and fed it to Song Wan'er, blocking her mouth, and then said: "Yuzhu must have been dragged away by Nian'er, you eat yours."
Song Wan'er wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Princess Thirteen. With delicious food in front of her, she forgot what she was going to say.
Chunzhi also picked up a spring roll for Huo Yanran, "You eat too."
The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other, and many things were said without saying a word.
They had breakfast together. It was still raining outside, so it was not convenient to go out in the rain to enjoy the flowers and scenery. Chunzhi asked Huo Yanran and Song Wan'er to go back and read storybooks, while she went to Yuzhu Courtyard.
Yuzhu didn't go to bed. She stood by the window holding Nian'er and watching the rain.
Nian'er stretched out her little hands to catch the raindrops and play with them, while Yuzhu was in a daze.
Chunzhi raised her hand to signal the servant to withdraw, and walked forward alone with an umbrella. She raised her hand and waved it in front of Yuzhu, calling softly, "Yuzhu."
Yuzhu suddenly came to her senses and saw Chunzhi standing in front of her. She asked in surprise, "Why are you here, sister?"
Chunzhi didn't answer but asked, "Guess."
Yuzhu was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Is it related to Master Gu?"
Yuzhu had lived in the Chang'an Palace for so long, and Chunzhi saw her every day and often played with the two little ones, so there was no need for her to make a special trip to her yard.
What's more, Gu Yuanjia is now recuperating in the mansion, so she doesn't have to guess at all.
Chunzhi nodded. "Our Yuzhu is really smart. She guessed it right the first time."
"That's not clever at all." Yuzhu was a little helpless after being praised by her sister Chunzhi. "Sister, don't stand outside. Come in and sit down."
Chunzhi replied "Okay", put away her umbrella and put it by the door, then walked inside.
Yuzhu placed Nian'er on the Luohan bed and handed her a rag doll to play with. She then walked towards Chunzhi and brushed the water droplets off her sleeves. "Sister, your sleeves are all wet from the rain. You must have been busy this morning."
Chunzhi pulled her to sit on the Luohan bed and said casually, "It's nothing, it's just that Doctor Zhou wants to go back to the Imperial Hospital, so I went to see him off."
"Is Doctor Zhou gone?" Yuzhu couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. "What about Gu Yuanjia then?"
Yuzhu was so anxious that she called Gu Yuanjia by his name and forgot to call him "Master Gu".
Seeing this, Chunzhi said in a gentle voice, "Master Gu was able to wake up, which means he was lucky enough to save his life. However, he still needs to be well taken care of in the future, and someone needs to look after him day and night. But you also know Master Gu..."
Chunzhi paused, looked at Yuzhu and said, "He used to be extremely picky. Now that he has been seriously injured while blocking the sword for the prince, he must arrange for someone to take care of him personally according to his wishes."
"Does he want me to take care of him?"
Since the princess came in person, it was hard for Yuzhu not to think about this.
"Yes, Gu Yuanjia specifically mentioned you." Chunzhi said, "Of course, the prince only asked me to ask you first. If you don't want to, then just put it off. Anyway, it's impossible for Gu Yuanjia to die without you eating, drinking, or taking medicine. It's just that he's upset and has suffered more, and his injuries are healing slowly... It won't kill him anyway."
"elder sister……"
Just by listening to Chunzhi's words, Yuzhu couldn't help but feel that Gu Yuanjia was really suffering because of his bad mood, and his injuries would heal slowly, and medicine might not be able to cure him.
Gu Yuanjia looks easy to talk to, but in fact he is extremely particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. If the people serving him are not to his liking, he will not punish them, but will just replace them one after another.
If you can't get something satisfactory, you'd better not have it.
When Gu Yuanjia was looking for her all over Nanzhou and pursuing her relentlessly, Yuzhu had thought that it was because she had served Master Gu too well that Gu Yuanjia was not used to not having a maid like her, so he had to take her back.
Now it seems that this is indeed the reason.
Perhaps, she had always been overthinking that Gu Yuanjia was interested in her.
Chunzhi waited quietly for Yuzhu's next words.
Yuzhu said, "Sister also said that Master Gu was seriously injured because he blocked the sword for the prince. He is grateful to the prince, and the prince is grateful to me. Now that he has asked, it is not a problem for me to take care of him for a while."
Chunzhi couldn't help but ask, "Are you not afraid of him anymore?"
"I'm just afraid that he'll snatch Nian'er from me, afraid that he'll insist on—"
Yuzhu was so afraid of Gu Yuanjia before because she was afraid that he would force her to be a slave or concubine. Now that she has Princess Chunzhi as her backer, she naturally feels much more confident.
Yuzhu only said half of what she meant when Chunzhi understood. "Don't worry, I'm here and I won't let him snatch Nian'er away."
Chunzhi is also a mother, so she naturally knows Yuzhu's concerns best.
Nian'er is Yuzhu's life.
Yuzhu said, "Besides, I've thought about it carefully and feel that what my sister said is right. The more I fear Gu Yuanjia knowing Nian'er's life experience, the better I have to hide it from him. When I can face him naturally, he won't be able to find out."
"It's good that you think so," Chunzhi said, "but should you let your cousin know?"
The cousin of the Ji family is Yuzhu's nominal husband and also Nian'er's father. Previously, Yuzhu served a mistress like the eldest princess in the princess's mansion. Now she has to take care of Master Gu. I am afraid that ordinary men will find it difficult to accept.
Yuzhu said, "My cousin and I have always kept to ourselves. There's no need to tell him about this. I'll just mention it to him next time we meet."
Ji's cousin is a good man. He was willing to have a fake marriage with her even when she was pregnant.
After getting married, they never did anything inappropriate.
Moreover, he is often too busy to go home, so there is no need to ask someone to send a letter to the palace for this matter.
"It's up to you to decide," Chunzhi said. "Gu Yuanjia is seriously injured and will be relying on you for quite some time. It's very tiring. You didn't sleep all night last night. I'll take Nian'er to the main courtyard to play with Xiaoxinghui. You should get some sleep."
Yuzhu said, "I'm not sleepy. I didn't do anything last night. I slept for a long time lying on the edge of the bed. Did Doctor Zhou prescribe new medicine before he left? Who is preparing the medicine?"
Chunzhi stood up and picked up Nian'er, "Cui'er took the prescription to get the medicine and boil it."
Yuzhu was a little worried, "I'll go take a look."
As she said this, she went out without even taking her umbrella.
Chunzhi walked out with Nian'er in her arms, and before she could call her, she could not help but say helplessly, "It's still raining outside."
When Yuzhu came to Gu Yuanjia's courtyard again, Cui'er was carrying the freshly boiled medicine to Master Gu's bedside, "Master Gu, the medicine is ready, please drink it while it's hot."
Gu Yuanjia felt drowsy and wanted to vomit when he smelled the strong bitter smell. He frowned and did not respond.
Seeing this, Cui Er said, "Look at me, I forgot that Master Gu was seriously injured and unable to move. So, I'll feed you the medicine."
"No need..." Gu Yuanjia said hoarsely, "Put the medicine here first."
Cui Er advised, "How can we leave the medicine here? Good medicine, bitter medicine, must be taken while it's hot."
Gu Yuanjia said in a hoarse voice: "Put it down."
Seeing this, Cui'er had no choice but to put the medicine on the table beside the couch. To be honest, when she was in Xizhou, she was not afraid of those careless and rough generals, but she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the elegant and handsome Mr. Gu.
Now that Gu Yuanjia is ill, Cui'er doesn't dare to force-feed him medicine, so she just lets him put it down.
Just at this moment Yuzhu walked in.
"Miss Yuzhu is here." Cui'er's eyes lit up immediately when she saw her coming. "Mr. Gu refused to take the medicine. How did you get him to drink it last night? Teach me quickly."
