Chapter 318: Match
"Why is the prince here?"
Gu Yuanjia heard Yuzhu greet Huo Zheng and then retreat, and put one hand on the bed to try to sit up.
"Lie down." Huo Zheng immediately stepped forward and held Gu Yuanjia down. "I'm about to leave Beijing, so I came to check on you. Have you taken your medicine today?"
In fact, Huo Zheng came to see Master Gu every day these days. Once a day was the minimum, and sometimes he would come two or three times to tell him what happened outside to cheer him up.
The King of Chang'an was so concerned that Gu Yuanjia became even more determined to do his best to serve his lord.
"I drank it." Gu Yuanjia felt that the prince treated him like a child with this daily question. "Yuzhu is watching over my meals and medicines. Isn't the prince still worried?"
Huo Zheng said solemnly, "I hope Yuanjia gets better soon and comes to Xizhou to benefit the people."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Gu Yuanjia said, "I have always had good luck. This injury won't kill me. I will recover soon. If Your Highness hadn't insisted that I stay in the capital to recuperate, I could actually go to Xizhou with Your Highness today."
"Don't force yourself. There's no doctor in Xizhou who can bring the dead back to life to save your life."
Huo Zheng insisted that Gu Yuanjia recover from his injuries in the capital before going to Xizhou.
The two discussed the current situation in the capital and what Huo Zheng would do immediately after arriving in Xizhou.
And at this moment, outside the door.
Chunzhi sent the maids away and sat down with Yuzhu under the shade of a tree to talk. She asked her, "Did you tell your cousin from the Ji family about the divorce when you went to see him that day?"
Chunzhi knew that Yuzhu had gone out of the house to meet her cousin Ji a few days ago, but she had been busy these days and had never asked Yuzhu about the outcome.
Yuzhu said, "I told my cousin about the divorce, but he encountered some problems..."
Yuzhu accidentally rescued Ji Changfeng from the Xu family's young lady. As a result, Xu Siyun, the young lady of the Xu family, fell in love with Ji Changfeng. The Xu family wanted to invite him to marry into the family, but he didn't want to, so he wanted to refuse on the grounds that he was already married. Therefore, he told Chunzhi that they could not divorce for the time being.
Chunzhi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked, "Does Master Gu know about this?"
"Know."
As Yuzhu spoke, her expression became a little subtle. She remembered the day when her cousin sent her back to the Chang'an Palace. She was seen by the maids in the palace and teased her for hiding such a handsome husband so carefully.
Later, this matter somehow reached Gu Yuanjia's ears.
Gu Yuanjia asked her, "Aren't you going to divorce?"
Yuzhu couldn't explain the matter too directly to him. Based on her understanding of Mr. Gu, if he knew that Miss Xu had a crush on Ji Changfeng, he would definitely add fuel to the fire so that she could achieve her goal of divorcing her cousin as soon as possible.
When Gu Yuanjia heard Yuzhu say that she and her cousin could not divorce for the time being, he was silent for a long time before he said, "Yuzhu, I will not be an adulterer."
Chunzhi was drinking tea while listening to Yuzhu, and almost choked when she heard this.
She couldn't imagine what Mr. Gu, who always thought highly of himself, looked like when he said, "I won't be an adulterer."
Gu Yuanjia naturally hoped that Yuzhu would divorce quickly, but given the current situation, what right did he have to force Yuzhu to divorce?
Chunzhi thought for a moment and whispered to Yuzhu, "You're only going along with Gu Yuanjia now because he's injured. In my opinion, there's no need to go along with him too much. He hasn't yet committed to marrying you. He'll certainly be happy for you to divorce him now, but you'll still have to deal with the difficulties of the Gu family elders in the future. It's better to take this opportunity to let Gu Yuanjia see his true feelings and clearly state what he can offer you."
Right now, the cousin of the Ji family is unwilling to become the son-in-law of the Xu family. Yuzhu has received his favor in the past, so she certainly cannot divorce him at this time and put him in trouble.
As for Gu Yuanjia...
Chunzhi felt that this was a good opportunity to take this opportunity to see how much Gu Yuanjia liked Yuzhu.
She said to Yuzhu: "If Gu Yuanjia really likes you, he should know that love is not a matter of weighing the pros and cons. Our Yuzhu is a very good girl, worthy of the best man, the most sincere love."
Yuzhu lost her parents at a young age, and she knew from a very young age that having enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear were more important than anything else.
So although she liked those expensive jewelry and treasures, she never wanted to own them.
Even though he liked Gu Yuanjia, he never thought of marrying up.
But Chunzhi's two or three words touched the softest part of her heart.
Yuzhu originally thought that this was all she would do in her life, raising Nian'er well and trying to live every day well. But Chunzhi said, "Our Yuzhu is a very good girl, worthy of the best man, the most sincere love."
Yuzhu's eyes instantly sparkled with tears, "Sister..."
Song Wan'er has a brother who loves her the most in the world, and Huo Yanran is a princess. They both have their pride and support, but Yuzhu has always had only herself.
So she didn't dare to respond to Gu Yuanjia's feelings.
She didn't dare to hope that Gu Yuanjia's love for her would last forever.
Yuzhu had very little to gain in her life, and she was worried that she might take something she shouldn't and even lose her life.
Because she was afraid of getting something that didn't belong to her and paying a heavy price, she gave up owning it at the beginning.
She never asks for deep love, but only for a smooth and peaceful life.
But Gu Yuanjia broke into her life again and again, breaking the peace she had worked so hard to build.
Chunzhi raised her hand and gently patted Yuzhu's back, saying to her in a gentle voice: "As a girl, you must know how to love yourself and believe that you are worthy of being loved."
She said, "Yuzhu, don't be afraid. I will always be your support."
Yuzhu buried her head in Chunzhi's shoulder, feeling unprecedented peace. At the same time, she seemed to have endless power.
Perhaps, she and Gu Yuanjia should change the way they get along. There is no point in escaping, so she should face her true feelings.
The two talked for a long time. After Huo Zheng finished visiting Gu Yuanjia, he walked out of the house. Chunzhi and Yuzhu had almost finished their conversation.
Huo Zheng solemnly handed Gu Yuanjia over to Yuzhu's care, and then handed over the management of the palace to her. "If Yuanjia feels unwell, immediately take this king's token to summon the imperial physician. If you encounter a situation like last time, you can go to the palace and seek help from the queen."
"Yes." Yuzhu took note.
Just as he finished speaking, Butler Cheng came over and said, "Your Highness, Princess, everything has been arranged. You can set off now."
"Then let's set off."
Huo Zheng held Chunzhi's hand and they walked out together.
Yuzhu and Cheng, the housekeeper, escorted the Prince and his wife of Chang'an out of the palace. The entourage was already waiting outside the palace.
The pale golden sunlight enveloped the entire capital city. People were coming and going on the streets, and everything was no different from usual.
Huo Zheng helped Chunzhi get on the carriage, and then carried Xiaoxing back up. Chunzhi lifted the curtain and looked back. Daddy and Mommy didn't come to see them off, perhaps to avoid suspicion, but she didn't know why the Song brothers and sisters didn't come either?
