Zhao San was extremely anxious. "But Master's injury is serious. If we delay any further, what should we do?"
Liu Zhao's face was calm, "It's okay!"
After saying this, he picked up his pen and started writing.
Zhao San didn't dare to disturb them and could only stand aside, as quiet as a chicken.
Liu Zhao finished writing a page, folded it twice, and handed it to Zhao San, "Give this to Miss Gu, and wait for her reply."
Zhao San was full of questions.
Liu Zhao said, "Describing the illness in letters is not very direct, but it saves a lot of trouble."
Zhao San immediately understood, "I will go see Miss Gu right away."
Liu Zhao reminded him, "After Miss Gu has read it, remember to destroy the letter."
"I understand."
Zhao San took the letter to the Puxian Temple next door and knocked on the door.
Qingzhu opened the door a crack, "Guard Zhao?"
Zhao San nodded. "Excuse me, is Miss Gu asleep? I have something important to discuss with her."
"My young lady hasn't rested yet. Guard Zhao, please wait a moment. I will go and report to my young lady."
Gu Jiu was a little surprised to learn that Zhao San was looking for her.
Then she thought of the young man who had not shown up and the injuries on his body. Could something have happened to him?
Could it be that the injury has worsened?
Gu Jiu immediately said, "Please ask Guard Zhao to come in."
"yes!"
Qingzhu came to the gate of the courtyard and opened it, "Guard Zhao, my daughter invites you in."
"Thank you!"
Zhao San followed Qingzhu into the house, looked around, and looked hesitant.
Gu Jiu knew what was going on and said, "Qingmei, Qingzhu, both of you go guard the door."
"Girl?" Qingmei was worried.
Gu Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay! Guard Zhao is my savior, I trust him."
Qingmei had no choice but to walk out of the room with Qingzhu and wait outside.
Zhao San's expression relaxed a little, "Thank you, Miss Gu."
Gu Jiu asked, "Guard Zhao came here late at night. Is there something wrong?"
Zhao San nodded, but said nothing. He simply took out the folded letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Jiu.
"My young master asked me to pass this on to you. Miss Gu, please read it and write back."
Gu Jiu reached out, took the letter, unfolded it and read it carefully, frowning slightly.
Zhao San became worried, "Is it serious?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's indeed very serious. The two prescriptions I gave you before are no longer suitable, and the dosage needs to be increased. In addition, the wound also needs to be treated again."
"Is there any cure?" Zhao San asked nervously.
Gu Jiu looked at Zhao San and said with certainty: "If the illness is true, it can be cured."
Zhao San immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Miss Gu."
Gu Jiu picked up the pen and prepared to rewrite the prescription.
Before she started writing, she suddenly remembered something.
"Guard Zhao, I'm still wondering what your son's name is?"
"My son's surname is Liu."
Last name Liu?
The surname Liu was a common surname in the Zhou Dynasty.
In addition to the royal family, it seems that a certain duke has the surname Liu, and the left prime minister of the current dynasty also has the surname Liu.
Could it be that this Young Master Liu was born in the Duke's Mansion? Or perhaps the Left Prime Minister's Mansion?
But who was that 'young man in white' who was dressed as a man that day?
I haven't heard that the Duke's Mansion and the Left Prime Minister's Mansion have any distinguished relatives in the northwest.
But judging from the appearance of the "young man in white" dressed as a man, he must be from a prominent family.
With so many well-dressed guards, if you don’t have enough status and position, you wouldn’t dare to be so ostentatious.
If Mr. Liu next door is not from the Duke's Mansion or the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, could he be from some new and aristocratic family in the capital?
He can't be a relative of the royal family.
Gu Jiu shook his head. Royal family members were not allowed to leave the capital without imperial decree.
I haven't heard Lord Gu mention any royal relatives coming to the northwest recently.
Thinking about it this way, Master Liu is probably the son of a new noble family.
But why did Master Liu hide his identity and live in Tianmen Temple?
Avoid being seen?
Gu Jiu looked at Zhao San calmly.
How can a newly rising upstart have a master like Zhao San as his bodyguard?
What's more, Mr. Liu has not one but a dozen expert guards like Zhao San around him.
That's really impressive.
The Gu family is also a family with a profound foundation, and there are only two or three guards like Zhao San.
Most guards can only intimidate ordinary scoundrels. If they meet a real master, ten of them cannot defeat one.
Gu Ji couldn't help but open his mind and think deeply.
Could it be that this Young Master Liu is really a member of the royal family?
If Master Liu is really a member of the royal family, all the problems will have a reasonable explanation.
Young Master Liu had no permission to leave the capital, and he risked being discovered by secretly running to the northwest. He must have had some big plans.
So he had to hide his identity and live in Tianmen Temple instead of staying in the inn.
As for the identity of the 'young man in white' who was dressed as a man that day, it was about to be revealed.
In the entire northwest, the only person who could have such a grand show was General Pei Ren, Marquis of Lu and the General of the Western Expedition.
The young lady called Master Liu "cousin" and was most likely the daughter of the Marquis of Lu.
The daughter of Duke Lu is also in the northwest?
"Miss Gu?" Zhao San called softly.
Gu Jiu came to his senses instantly and avoided Zhao San's gaze.
Her heart was beating fast.
I didn't expect that when I opened my mind, I would discover such an incredible truth.
A relative of the royal family came secretly to the northwest, and the daughter of Pei Ren, Marquis of Lu, disguised herself to meet this relative of the royal family. Was there any deal going on?
Considering that Lu Hou Pei Ren holds military power, it couldn't be...
Gu Jiu quickly shook his head, unable to think about it any further.
The more you know, the more dangerous it is.
Gu Jiu never forgot that when they first met, Zhao San made no secret of his murderous intentions towards her.
It would be better for her to be an ordinary second-generation official caught up in a family feud.
What royal family member, daughter of Marquis Lu, has nothing to do with her.
Gu Jiu picked up his pen and wrote down two new prescriptions. He also wrote down a list of precautions.
He folded the letter and handed it to Zhao San. "Please pass it on to your young master. The injury must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. If you are short of medicinal herbs, I have some here and can sell some to you."
The first part made Zhao San nervous, and the last part made him unsure of what expression to make.
Should we say that Miss Gu is materialistic, or should we say that it is wise to draw a clear line between the two?
Gu Jiu smiled knowingly and said, "Please forgive me, Guard Zhao. Although my father is the governor of Jinzhou, I am an out-and-out poor man.
My stepmother is the head of the household, and it's not easy for me to get some good medicinal herbs from the warehouse.
The medicinal materials are used less and less, and I am poor and have low aspirations. I really can't afford to give them away. If your young master needs them, I can sell some to you."
Zhao San said, "I understand. Thank you, Miss Gu. I will come back when I need you."
Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "After Guard Zhao returns, please treat your young master's wound as soon as possible."
Zhao San nodded, said goodbye and left.
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat.
From now on, you must avoid the meditation courtyard next door and never associate with that Mr. Liu.
At this moment, in Gu Jiu's eyes, Liu Zhao was like a bomb, a super bomb.
Once it exploded, the impact would be so wide that Gu Jiu was worried that he would be dead.
Qingmei and Qingzhu walked in.
Gu Jiu warned the two, "Keep your distance from Guard Zhao and don't have too much contact with him."
"Girl, has something happened?" Qingmei was a little worried.
Gu Jiu said, "Their master-servant identities are unclear. If our interactions with them affect the master's career, that would be bad."
The two maids responded in unison: "We understand."
