Chapter 142 Revenge
At this time, Lin Chuyan, who was awakened, was smiling.
"Great! God is helping me!"
"I didn't expect such a good thing to happen. What a surprising turn of events!"
Thinking that Gu Qingcheng was kidnapped, if she lost her innocence, the position of Prince Chang's wife would be handed over to someone else, and she, the favored concubine, would be able to take the position naturally.
The maidservant beside her was very eloquent and quickly stepped forward to compliment her, "Congratulations, Miss! You will surely achieve your wish soon!"
Lin Chuyan was coaxed into a good mood by the maid, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became. After waking up early, she did not sleep and sent someone to keep an eye on the development of the matter.
Nearly two hours later, it was already dawn.
The fear that darkness brought to people was finally dispelled a lot.
Huo Yuchen then led everyone to the cliff where Gu Qingcheng was hanging.
That place was the windiest place, and the February wind was as sharp as a knife, cutting people's faces and causing pain.
Gu Qingcheng was only wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold wind. She closed her eyes tightly and kept muttering something, but her voice was so soft that it was blown away by the wind.
When everyone saw it, they were all stunned.
I don't understand, who is it that would hang such a delicate beauty here and torture her?
How cruel and ruthless!
When Master Gu's family, who were standing in the crowd, saw this scene, they all burst into tears.
He quickly saluted Huo Yuchen and said, "Your Highness, please help and rescue this person!"
Huo Yuchen waved to Jingyu and asked her to take action.
The Gu family is not very reasonable. If they get involved again, it will be very troublesome.
Jingyu jumped up, cut the rope and carried the man down.
Gu Qingcheng was already unconscious and had a high fever. She was confused and kept moaning, "Please let me go! Please..."
"I...I really haven't done anything bad, and I haven't done anything to let you down..."
Grand Tutor Gu quickly wrapped Gu Qingcheng in a thick cloak, sent her back to the carriage, and went to call the imperial physician.
Lin Pianran stood in the crowd, watching this drama of brothers fighting each other, and felt very enjoyable intuitively.
Most people who don’t know the inside story sympathize with Gu Qingcheng.
"Who is this? Such a wicked person! How could he have the heart to bully a weak and powerless woman, a beautiful one at that?!"
"That's right, it's really too much!"
"If I were to meet such a beautiful woman, wouldn't I be gentle with her first? How could I bear to treat her like this?"
"Miss Gu, you're seriously cold, I don't know if you can cure it?"
Hearing the various discussions in the crowd, Lin Pianran couldn't help but speak up, "Haven't you thought about Miss Gu's second sentence? Did Miss Gu do something really bad? Did she offend someone? Is this the only reason they're punishing her to vent their anger?"
"Even if I was sorry in the past, that's in the past. What's there to worry about?"
Lin Pianran retorted, "When it comes to other people's affairs, you are so generous. If the same thing happened to you, I'm worried that you would pick up a knife and kill someone!"
"A knock of the upper lip, a touch of the lower lip, and it's said so lightly!"
"What if Miss Gu did something truly awful? Would you forgive her? If she gave you a knife but didn't kill you, wouldn't that be a great favor, sparing your life? Shouldn't you be grateful for her kindness?"
After hearing these words, many people dared not say a word.
After Gu Qingcheng was taken back, she continued to have a high fever and refused to take any medicine. The anxious people from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion pleaded with the emperor again, but after inviting more than a dozen imperial doctors, her temperature still did not go down. After trying for most of the day, there was no effect at all.
"What should we do? If it keeps burning like this, something terrible will happen!"
"Yes! If it keeps burning, either they'll burn themselves silly or die..."
"What can we do? The imperial doctors are here, and they can't do anything. What else can we do?"
At this time, an imperial physician stepped forward and gently reminded, "There is also Divine Doctor Baili. His medical skills are extremely advanced. Maybe he can find a way."
"However, he would not easily see outsiders. Only members of the royal family would have some respect in his eyes."
After hearing this, Grand Tutor Gu said confidently, "I will go and ask him now. After all, I am the prince's teacher, so I still have some face. He will definitely remember our old friendship!"
The old doctor finished what he needed to say and went back to his own business.
When Grand Tutor Gu found Huo Yuchen, he stated his purpose directly.
"Your Highness, Qingcheng is now experiencing a high fever. Please ask Dr. Baili for help!"
Huo Yuchen, Lin Pianran and Baili Qingyun had long guessed that Grand Tutor Gu would eventually come over to ask for help.
I already had a plan in mind.
Baili Qingyun deliberately teased Qiao, "My master passed away so hastily that he didn't have time to pass on many of his medical skills to me. He only left behind a batch of very precious medicines, but they are extremely rare. If I use one, it's gone. I won't use them lightly."
"However, there are indeed fever-reducing pills in that batch of medicine, just a few of them! They are very precious."
"Last year, His Highness was seriously ill with a high fever, and I was reluctant to use it! I managed to help His Highness the Crown Prince get through it."
How can the price of this medicine be low if even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is reluctant to use it?
The price of the medicine was raised immediately.
Grand Tutor Gu was so anxious that he didn't care about the money. He said directly, "No matter how much silver it is, please ask the miracle doctor to save Qingcheng's life. I will definitely repay you even if it means a great favor!"
Baili Qingyun blinked and smiled brightly.
very nice!
Hooked, a big fat sheep.
Over the years, the Grand Tutor's Mansion has taken advantage of the Prince Duan's Mansion and fleeced countless sheep.
Now it will be a bargain for him.
Hehehehe.
Baili Qingyun rummaged through his bosom and reluctantly pulled out a small medicine bottle containing only a few small white pills.
He took out another one very carefully and put it into a separate small bottle.
"Honestly, every time I use one pill of this medicine, I lose one. It really hurts!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. I am a soft-hearted person and I can't bear to see people die in vain before my eyes..."
"I'll give this medicine to the Grand Tutor at cost price. It's not expensive, only 20,000 taels of silver per pill."
Twenty thousand taels?
Another twenty thousand taels.
Twenty thousand taels on the left and twenty thousand taels on the right. Even if the Tai Shi Mansion is a big family, it can't afford such spending!
The old master felt terribly painful.
But the granddaughter's life cannot be saved.
Finally, after hardening his heart, he nodded in agreement.
"Okay, as long as this medicine works, I'll take 20,000 taels!"
When Baili Qingyun heard this, his expression changed quickly and he went to treat Gu Qingcheng happily.
