Gu Nianchen’s most important task now is to recover his strength and then act according to the circumstances.
I leaned against the haystack, closed my eyes, and prepared to rest for a while.
After a while, I heard footsteps outside the door.
Then came the sound of two people talking: "How come there's been no movement for more than a day? He didn't even cry out that he was hungry. Could he be dead?"
"No way."
"Let's go in and take a look. I heard that Li's mother spent a lot of money to buy it. If it really dies, we will be in trouble."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
After the two of them finished discussing, the sound of someone unlocking the door was heard.
Gu Nianchen continued to pretend to be unconscious so that he could leave here.
The two of them carefully pushed open a small gap, looked around for a while, and then dared to open the door and come in.
The two of them had low martial arts skills, so they naturally had to be cautious when guarding. If someone had hidden strength and they let them escape, their life would be in danger.
"Look, it looks to me like he's really going to die. His face doesn't look right."
One of them spoke in a trembling voice, and his footsteps seemed to be dawdling in place, not daring to move forward.
"Don't you see that the chest is still moving? He's not dead yet, but he should be dead soon."
The other one was a little braver. He walked closer and saw that Gu Nianchen was still breathing, so he felt a little relieved and said to the other one.
"What should we do? Let him lie here or what?"
"Mother Li didn't say to let him eat, but it looks like he's breathing in more than out. Let's go report it first. It's not our turn to make the decision on this matter."
"Yeah, you're right, let's go."
The two of them left the room again after talking, and Gu Nianchen finally opened his eyes and looked at the door.
I wondered how skilled the guards here were. I hadn't fully recovered yet, so if I tried to escape, what would my chances of success be?
Gu Nianchen was thinking in his mind when he heard footsteps coming from outside, which were even more chaotic than before.
"That's pretty fast. It seems this madam thinks highly of me."
Gu Nianchen smiled mockingly and said in a low voice.
The sound of unlocking was heard again, and this time it was a person who walked in. Judging from the footsteps, it was a woman.
"Take him to the third-floor wing and ask a doctor to come over and take a look at him. Then give him a bath. I paid a lot of money for this little appearance. If he dies, watch out for your skin."
The woman's sarcastic voice rang out, making the servant next to her panic.
After saying that, the woman kicked Gu Nianchen in disgust: "Be brave enough. Since you are here, make the best of it. Mother Li will not treat you unfairly. If you don't obey, I don't mind making less money on this one-time deal. If that happens, you will suffer."
After saying that, the woman turned around and left, and Gu Nianchen was carried up by two people.
After walking for a while, I entered a room.
As soon as I walked in, I felt that this room must be nice. There was a faint fragrance in the room, and there was no smell of dust at all.
The two men put Gu Nianchen on the bed and then walked out.
After locking the door, one went to prepare hot water and the other went to call a doctor.
Gu Nianchen lay on his side and took a look at the room. It was a large space, with the living room and bedroom separated.
The decoration is also very elegant and the cleaning is very clean.
I thought this brothel was different from the ones I had seen before, and it was a bit high-end.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Nianchen understood that in this dynasty, it seemed that the status of this male favorite was not the kind that everyone would hate.
She is more like a famous prostitute in a brothel, who has skills and is not willing to sacrifice her innocence in exchange for money.
Thinking of this, Gu Nianchen remembered that the eldest prince was fond of homosexuality and had several men in his mansion.
If it is during this period of time, the eldest prince is likely to bring Bai Luoyu here, so I might as well stay here first, deal with Mother Li for a few days, and find an opportunity to meet Bai Luoyu.
At this moment, the doctor arrived and the hot water was ready.
The doctor walked to the bed, took a look at Gu Nianchen's miserable condition, and couldn't help but sigh:
"What's wrong? Is there no hope?"
When the servant saw the doctor shaking his head, he was so frightened that he tiptoed towards the door, intending to run to report to Li's mother at any time.
The doctor didn't answer, but sat down and stretched out his hand to feel Gu Nianchen's pulse. After feeling the pulse, he frowned and shook his head.
The servant was so frightened that he ran out this time: "Wait, it's nothing serious."
"Ah? You shook your head twice, and that scared me to death. If he died, we wouldn't be able to take responsibility."
The servant wiped his sweat and stood aside.
Lang groaned in his heart. He also wanted to know what had happened. Judging from the injuries, the man was probably dead.
But after taking his pulse, I found that this person was living better than anyone else. I have never encountered such a strange pulse in my life.
"Then why isn't he awake yet?"
The servant asked again, thinking that Mother Li had asked him to take a bath, and it would not be convenient if he was unconscious like this.
The main reason was that Gu Nianchen was covered in blood, and they also found it dirty.
"It's okay. You'll wake up after I give you the acupuncture."
The doctor took out a small cloth bag and opened it, revealing silver needles of various sizes.
He pricked Gu Nianchen's acupuncture point, let go and took out the needle. Just as he was about to prick the second one, Gu Nianchen's fingers moved and then he opened his eyes.
"water."
Seeing this, the servant was completely relieved and hurried to get some water. After all, no matter how much he disliked her, he couldn't show it on the surface. This person might become the most beautiful girl in the house in the future, so how could he dare to offend her?
The doctor looked at the needle in his hand that had not yet been inserted, feeling confused. Could it be that he had become so skilled in acupuncture that the patient would wake up instantly with just one injection?
He took the needle back from Gu Nianchen's body and said to him:
"Although your pulse is good, you have many wounds on your body. You still need to take good care of yourself. After you cleanse yourself..."
"Purification?"
When Gu Nianchen heard this, his ears pricked up immediately. He thought he must have heard it right. This doctor must have noticed that the original owner had some health problems or something, so why did he still want to castrate her?
That won’t do. My wife still needs it. It would be fine if it’s gone.
"It means taking a bath and changing clothes." The doctor explained it again and thought to himself that this person looks like a scholar, how come he doesn't even understand such a basic word.
"Oh, okay." Gu Nianchen felt relieved after hearing this.
"After bathing, crush these herbs and apply them to the affected area. This will help the wound heal faster. Combined with the medicine I prescribed, I guarantee you'll be fully recovered within ten days."
After the doctor finished speaking, he walked to the table and wrote a prescription.
"Thank you." Gu Nianchen thanked him.
He slowly sat up from the bed. The wounds on his body were still a little painful, but it was nothing to him.
I walked straight behind the screen. There was warm water in the bathtub, and it was still steaming. I didn't know what was in it. The water was milky white with some flower petals floating on it.
Gu Nianchen couldn't help but want to laugh, remembering that in a certain world, Bai Luoyu, a lawyer, liked to take a bath with flower petals, and even liked to make video calls to seduce himself while taking a bath.
It was very uncomfortable to soak the wounds all over his body in water, so Gu Nianchen quickly washed the blood off his body and walked out.
After drying my body, I changed into the clean robe draped over the screen.
