Chapter 145 True Feelings and False Feelings
Lu Yunzheng carried Gu Xizhi around the streets looking for a clinic. He knocked on so many doors, but no one answered.
Gu Xizhi was trembling with pain, and now she was leaning on Lu Yunzheng's shoulder, unconscious.
Lu Yunzheng was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He ran around while calling out for Gu Xizhi.
"Xizhi, hold on a little longer!"
Boom boom boom——
They found another clinic and Lu Yunzheng walked up to it and knocked hard on the door.
At this time, a voice came from inside, "No patients are being seen today, please go back!"
When Lu Yunzheng heard that someone finally answered his call, he didn't care whether the patient was willing to see a doctor or not, he just kicked the door open.
There was a loud bang and several exclamations were heard in the clinic.
When Lu Yunzheng stepped in, he saw a doctor protecting his wife and daughter behind him, looking at this side with horror on his face.
“You…you you you…”
Lu Yunzheng was too anxious to explain, and just said coldly: "Quick, save him! You won't lose the medical fee or compensation."
Seeing that the visitor was so ferocious, the doctor dared not refuse. He hurriedly told his wife and daughter to run away, and followed him into the inner hall.
Lu Yunzheng put Gu Xizhi on the couch. Without him saying anything, the doctor had already seen the terribly swollen wrist.
After all, doctors have a kind heart, so there was no need for Lu Yunzheng to urge the doctor. The doctor had already come forward and looked at Gu Xizhi's hand carefully.
Lu Yunzheng actually already had a bad feeling in his heart.
However, when the doctor shook his head with difficulty, he couldn't help but change his expression drastically.
"Sir, this girl's wrist bones are broken and rotten. My medical skills are limited and it is difficult for me to treat her."
"Please find another good place as soon as possible to avoid delaying the girl's injury."
Lu Yunzheng took a step back in despair. When he looked at Gu Xizhi, who was sweating profusely on the couch, he felt pain and regret in his heart, and said in a trembling voice:
"Treat her first, at least...don't let her suffer so much."
......
When Gu Xizhi slowly opened her eyes, she didn't know where she was.
"Cherish the branch!"
At this time, Lu Yunzheng's concerned face came into view.
Memories gradually came back to her, Gu Xizhi suddenly widened her eyes and looked up at her right hand.
Under the sleeves, bamboo boards were fixed layer by layer and gauze was wrapped around and around.
She tried to move her fingers slightly, and a piercing pain suddenly exploded, causing her to scream out in pain and tears rolled down her face.
Lu Yunzheng's heart was broken, he quickly half-lifted Gu Xizhi up, and said in a trembling voice:
"Xizhi, don't be afraid. As long as he's okay, I'll find a way to fix this hand."
Gu Xizhi looked up with tears in her eyes, and then she realized that she was in a strange place, which seemed to be... an inn.
Noticing Gu Xizhi's confusion, Lu Yunzheng hurriedly explained in a gentle voice: "Xizhi, after what happened last night, I'm afraid the villa is not safe anymore. I'll have to let you stay here for now, and I'll find another place to stay later."
"I have also sent a message to call the two maids over. They are waiting outside."
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng had made such thoughtful arrangements, Gu Xizhi looked up at him, only to see that his eyes were dark and bloodshot.
It was getting light outside and it seemed like it was already the second day.
Yun Zheng... stayed with her all night.
When this thought came to her mind, Gu Xizhi felt complicated and indescribable.
"Xizhi, I will go and ask Prince Xiang to let the best imperial physician treat you."
"It's okay. Even if these hands cannot be restored to their original state, you still have me."
"Xizhi, I can be your right hand."
As Lu Yunzheng spoke, he lowered his head and gently kissed Gu Xizhi's forehead, his voice extremely gentle.
While guarding Xizhi that night, he thought a lot, and it made him understand his own feelings more clearly.
He was only unwilling to give in to Shen Jiasui, and Xizhi was the only one he loved in his heart.
Gu Xizhi's thin lips moved when she heard that. At that moment, her nose felt sore. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.
She had long seen Yun Zheng's wavering and indecision, but this time when she was injured, Yun Zheng seemed to have changed his mind.
At this moment, his tenderness and heartache looked so sincere.
But it was too late.
From the moment she took the first step, she was climbing up and trying to get the skin of a tiger, and she could not afford to take a single step back.
So, she could only continue to move forward firmly!
"Yun Zheng..."
Although she thought so, at this moment Gu Xizhi was also greedy for the warmth given by Lu Yunzheng, and could not help but lean into his arms with full of dependence.
At this time, with Gu Xizhi's personality, she had already figured out everything that happened last night.
She - fell for Shen Jiasui's provocation!
But what Shen Jiasui said last night really made her shudder.
She didn't know how much Shen Jiasui knew. Was he crippling her right hand just because she imitated Shen Jiaheng's handwriting, or... had Shen Jiasui guessed something?
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi couldn't help but feel fear. She curled up her fingers instinctively, but shuddered in pain.
At this time, Lu Yunzheng finally asked about what happened last night.
"Xizhi, what did Shen Jiasui do to you last night?"
Gu Xizhi's mind raced when she heard this. If she couldn't dispel Yun Zheng's suspicion at this moment...
She suddenly raised her eyes, looked at Lu Yunzheng with fear and trepidation, and said in a trembling voice:
"Yun Zheng, Shen Jiasui told me that you have rekindled your old feelings for her and have proposed to her several times, and I... I am just a toy that you can discard at any time."
Lu Yunzheng widened his eyes slightly when he heard that. He felt uneasy at that moment, but soon he became angry again.
He had indeed fought for it with Shen Jiasui several times, but that was only for his future prospects, and he made it very clear that Xizhi would only be on equal terms with her.
"Xizhi, Shen Jiasui is just talking nonsense. She is trying to sow discord!"
Lu Yunzheng hurriedly denied it.
Gu Xizhi nodded, but her face still looked aggrieved.
"Yun Zheng, I naturally don't believe what she said. I told her that you love me deeply and will never change."
"But she...she said that love cannot stand the test, and she has already thought of a solution to prevent you from abandoning me so easily."
"I was very anxious and argued with her, but she suddenly brought up the incident at the Jokhang Temple that day when I mistakenly entered the magnificent temple."
"She said that if I lied to you and told you that I had had an affair with another man in Zunrong Baozha, you would be furious and want to kill me."
When Gu Xizhi said this, she shuddered all over and her eyes were filled with fear.
"Yun Zheng, I can only argue with reason, but she was so sure and even said that she could make Jiang Xun give false testimony for her, leaving me with no way to defend myself."
"Yun Zheng, in order to be with you, I don't care about any status. I have been waiting for you in the courtyard all day long. But now my sincerity has been slandered like this. How can I bear it?"
"So, in my grief and anger, I pulled out the hairpin on my head, wishing I could die with her..."
At this point, Gu Xizhi burst into tears and cried out: "Yun Zheng, it's wrong, everything is wrong."
"From the beginning, I shouldn't have admired you, and I shouldn't have had the delusion of wanting to be with you forever."
"Now Shen Jiasui wants to take revenge on me, and I can only bear it. This time she destroyed my hand, and next time, I'm afraid she will take my life..."
Lu Yunzheng's face turned pale when he heard this, his breathing became heavy and rapid, and anger surged between his brows. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Shen Jiasui!"
"Yun Zheng, what should I do?"
Gu Xizhi huddled into Lu Yunzheng's arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng immediately suppressed his anger, hugged Gu Xizhi tightly, and softened his voice and said:
"Don't be afraid, Xizhi. I won't let anyone hurt you again."
"You are so stupid. No matter what Shen Jiasui says, I won't believe it. Why bother to confront her head-on?"
Gu Xizhi finally heard the words she wanted to hear most.
Instead of hiding it, it is better to tell the truth. When Shen Jiasui brings the matter of Jokhang Temple to Yun Zheng in the future, Yun Zheng will only think that Shen Jiasui is throwing dirty water on her.
Even if Yun Zheng had doubts in his heart, she had something to say in her defense and would not be defeated by Shen Jiasui's words.
As soon as she woke up, she tried every means to deal with Lu Yunzheng. Now Gu Xizhi felt extremely tired.
Lu Yunzheng noticed that Gu Xizhi was tired, so he gently let her go and gently helped her lie down again.
"Xizhi, you take a rest first. Can I go to the command post?"
Today is the 16th day of the first lunar month, and he was supposed to be on duty.
Moreover, there is an informant of Prince Xiang in the command post, so he must find a way to beg the prince to send the most skilled imperial physician to check Xizhi's hand.
Gu Xizhi was eager to get Lu Yunzheng away at this moment, so she nodded immediately and gently advised Lu Yunzheng not to worry about her.
Lu Yunzheng felt so distressed that he left a kiss on Gu Xizhi's hair before reluctantly leaving.
Not until this time did the two maids waiting outside dare to come in.
When they came to their senses last night, they could not find Gu Xizhi anymore, so they had to go back to the villa first. They did not expect that Gu Xizhi would be so seriously injured...
"girl......"
Gu Xizhi raised her eyes to look at the two of them. Although she was angry, she also remembered that they were sent by that person after all, so she gave them some face.
All I heard was her cold voice: "Tell me what happened last night, and ask you to send the best imperial physician to treat my injuries."
"Also, tell you, I have a secret plan that can eliminate your greatest worry, but you must come to see me in person."
