Chapter 307 Yuzhu, Divorce Him
Gu Yuanjia didn't say anything.
Yuzhu went to get another glass of water. When she returned to the bedside, she heard Huo Zheng say, "The imperial physician repeatedly told you not to worry too much. How could you be so careless about your body? Your injuries have worsened terribly. The imperial physician said that if it happens again, even a god wouldn't be able to save you! Tell me, what exactly is causing you so much worry and trouble?"
"Your Highness..." Gu Yuanjia said hoarsely, "I'm ashamed. Please don't ask any more questions."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zheng probably guessed that what could have consumed Mr. Gu's mind to such an extent was probably not official business, but personal matters.
He couldn't help but glance sideways at Yuzhu who was standing beside him.
Yuzhu came forward with the cup, leaned over and handed it to Gu Yuanjia's lips, and said softly, "Drink some more."
Gu Yuanjia followed his instructions and drank two more sips, then stopped drinking.
Yuzhu placed the cup on a small table beside her and gently wiped the water stains from Mr. Gu's lips with a handkerchief.
Neither of them finished talking for a while, but there seemed to be a subtle atmosphere between them that no one else could interrupt.
Seeing that Gu Yuanjia was fine, Huo Zheng had something to say to him, but it seemed a bit inappropriate to say it now, so he said, "I will go and check out the new prescription from the imperial physician. Yuanjia, you should get some rest first."
Gu Yuanjia nodded, "I am truly ashamed to have caused Your Highness trouble again."
Huo Zheng said seriously, "There's no need to talk about this between you and me."
He then said to Yuzhu, "I'll trouble you to take good care of Yuanjia. If his condition worsens, send someone to inform me immediately. Don't delay."
Yuzhu murmured, "Yes."
Huo Zheng looked at Gu Yuanjia again before turning and leaving.
As soon as he left, the room quickly became quiet.
Yuzhu stood in front of the couch and asked Gu Yuanjia softly, "Mr. Gu, are you hungry? I'll have someone bring some food over."
"Not hungry."
Gu Yuanjia only said these two words.
Yuzhu said anxiously, "Even if you're not hungry, you have to eat something. How can your injury heal if you don't eat?"
"Yuzhu." Gu Yuanjia called her, "I don't lack maids."
Anyone can do the job of serving tea and water.
It is not necessary to use Yuzhu to decoct and change medicines.
He looked at Yuzhu with a gloomy look in his eyes. "You know me so well, but you really don't know why I asked the prince to bring you here? I like you, are you really unaware of it?"
Yuzhu didn't expect that this would be the first thing he said when he woke up.
She didn't want to waste Gu Yuanjia's attention by talking about this at this time, nor did she want to bring this matter to light. She said softly, "You just woke up. Let's talk about this after your injury heals..."
"No." Gu Yuanjia interrupted her, "This matter is extremely important to me. I must make it clear right away. I can't delay even a moment longer."
"Gu Yuanjia! Do you really have to do this?"
Yuzhu couldn't help but call him by his name.
"Yes." Gu Yuanjia looked at Yuzhu with deep eyes, "I must do this."
He originally thought he had enough patience to take his time with Yuzhu.
But she knew what his intentions were, but she turned a blind eye, pretended not to know, and was even unwilling to let their relationship go back to the way it was before.
Yuzhu clearly knew his feelings, his plans and desires, but she only wanted to be a maid to take care of him, and thought that she would cut off all contact with him after his injury healed.
Gu Yuanjia couldn't tolerate this.
His injuries worsened and he had another close call with death.
Suddenly I understood a lot of things.
No matter how clever your plans are, they are useless to Yuzhu, so you just have to be frank with her.
Gu Yuanjia stared at Yuzhu and said in a hoarse voice, "Not only am I good at weighing the pros and cons of major issues and calculating everything, but I'm also despicable and tyrannical in matters of love. I can't bear to see you become someone else's wife, and I can't tolerate you having someone else in your heart."
He said, "I know you're married, but I still can't let you go, Yuzhu... If you don't have feelings for me, then don't appear in front of me again. If you do, then go and divorce your husband."
These words shocked Yuzhu.
The two options given by Gu Yuanjia were too extreme.
Yuzhu was unable to make a decision for a moment. In her panic, she asked Gu Yuanjia, "Young Master, how can I say that you are attracted to me?"
Yuzhu said, "I come from a humble family that has been in decline for a long time. I'm not bad looking, but Nanzhou is full of beauties, and the maids around you are all incredibly beautiful... I really can't figure out what it is that you like about me."
After Gu Yuanjia said this, Yuzhu asked him what she was thinking in person.
When she was at the Gu Mansion, she knew that Gu Yuanjia was somewhat partial to her.
At that time, Yuzhu thought that she was serious about her work and got along well with Gu Yuanjia. Mr. Gu was of the right age, a famous scholar, and was close to her, so he might have some thoughts of taking her as a concubine.
But later she left, and Gu Yuanjia kept looking for her.
Now that she is married and has a daughter, Gu Yuanjia still refuses to let go. He is so persistent that Yuzhu really did not expect it.
She even felt that Gu Yuanjia couldn't let go because he couldn't get it.
If Gu Yuanjia was fine at this time, she would definitely say this to his face, but Master Gu was seriously injured, and her anger had made his injury worse.
Yuzhu didn't dare to anger Gu Yuanjia anymore, so she could only ask him: What exactly do you like about me?
Gu Yuanjia said hoarsely: "Maybe it's because you are different from others."
Yuzhu never thought that she was any different from others. She didn't know what she looked like in Gu Yuanjia's eyes, and waited quietly for his next words.
Gu Yuanjia said:
"You like silver, but you like freedom even more."
"You like delicious food, beautiful clothes, and rare things. You'll be very happy if you have them, and won't feel sorry if you don't have them..."
"Just like you like me, but never want to be with me."
Young Master Gu was taught by his father since he was a child that if you want something, you have to fight, grab and scheme for it, and this is the case for everyone in the world.
Until Yuzhu came to him, the little girl cried very hard when she was sad, but her smile was so bright that it could make the surroundings bright. She did not fight, compete or scheme, and treated people with sincerity, making Gu Yuanjia see a person who was completely different from himself.
In fact, Gu Yuanjia couldn't really say what exactly he liked about Yuzhu. He just realized a long time ago that he felt happy whenever he saw her. He wanted to be nice to her and wanted her to stay with him forever.
This was originally an extremely easy task, but twists and turns arose, making it even more difficult.
The more this happened, the harder it was for him to let go.
When Yuzhu heard what Gu Yuanjia said, she realized that he had already seen through her thoughts clearly.
She likes Gu Yuanjia, but knows that she cannot have him, so she will never pester him and will give him up cruelly.
But fate is so hard to understand.
After many twists and turns, she is still connected with Gu Yuanjia.
Now Gu Yuanjia is even unwilling to maintain such an appearance. He wants her to face her true heart and decide whether this relationship should be completely severed or put on the right track.
Yuzhu didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Gu Yuanjia suddenly raised his hand, grabbed Yuzhu and held her tightly, and said in a very serious tone: "Yuzhu, divorce him and come back to me completely."
