Chapter 150: Miss Gu Has Got a Good Doctor
On the second day, Shen Jiasui visited Prince Rong's mansion.
Such close and frequent contacts inevitably attracted attention, but everyone soon understood.
Because Princess Huaizhen brought Shen Jiasui to the Princess's residence, but was turned away because the Princess had gone to the palace with Princess Anning early in the morning.
It was obvious that this visit was made without any prior notice or visiting card.
This naturally made everyone think of the incident in the first month of the year when Jiang Xun went to General Dingguo's mansion to propose marriage and embarrassed Princess An Ning.
It seems that Shen Jiasui is asking Princess Huaizhen to mediate in order to repair the relationship with Princess Anning.
But it’s a pity that Princess An Ning is not someone who is easy to please.
After this setback, Shen Jiasui had no choice but to follow Zhao Huaizhen back to Prince Rong's Mansion in shame, and went home after lunch.

Afternoon, Lin Mansion.
Jiang Xun couldn't help but look amazed after reading the secret letter sent by Shen Jiasui.
Old Lin came over and read the contents of the letter at a glance, his eyes lighting up.
“Xiuzhi, it is your great fortune to marry Miss Shen.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun nodded in agreement.
"Don't be surprised by the old saying that we should always listen to the advice of the elderly. Back then, the teacher asked the disciple to pledge his love to the old man. Now it seems that this is indeed the truth."
Mr. Lin: “…”
Since Xiuzhi and Miss Shen expressed their feelings to each other, it was as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened.
He was no longer so stubborn and no longer hid his feelings, which made him feel strange...
At this time Jiang Xun raised his hand and threw the secret letter into the charcoal basin beside him. Watching it burn to ashes, he turned the charcoal basin over with tongs to make sure it was safe.
Elder Lin was already accustomed to Jiang Xun's caution. He leaned back on the recliner behind him, looked at the sparks flying from the brazier, and suddenly sighed:
"Prince Rong is indeed a man of courage. If it were someone else, they might not be willing to let their own son..."
Jiang Xun took over the conversation at this time, "Although Sui Sui did not mention it in the letter, if I am not mistaken, this may be what Prince Rong asked for himself."
"After all, he is a child of destiny. I believe that when Prince Rong made up his mind to tell Prince Rong everything, he already had this realization."
When Mr. Lin heard this, a look of melancholy appeared in his eyes.
"They are all good children, all good children..."
He sighed deeply, brushed his sleeves suddenly, stood up and walked out, "Xiuzhi, you figure it out on your own, I feel very bored, so I'm going to copy the stele."
Mr. Lin was always in a hurry. He disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the recliner creaking in the same place.
Jiang Xun picked up the brush but didn't move for a long time. The ink dripped onto the rice paper and slowly spread.
He raised his eyes and looked outside. The branches outside the window were sparse, dry as firewood, and swaying in the cold wind.
Yes, it’s full of intrigue and deception, and very boring.
It would be nice if you could be here every year.
As Jiang Xun thought about this, he missed her more and more.
The next moment, he picked up the pen and wrote the word "year" neatly on the paper. He allowed himself to be absent-minded for a moment, then gathered his thoughts and lowered his head to his desk again.

The days passed smoothly. No matter how turbulent things were in secret, the capital seemed to be bustling with people preparing for the upcoming trip to the mountains.
January twenty-fifth.
Ten days have passed since Gu Xizhi's wrist was injured, but there has been no reply to the letter that Lu Yunzheng asked Hong Chi to deliver to King Xiang.
During this period, Lu Yunzheng brought Gu Xizhi back to the Lu Mansion and asked the mansion doctor to see Gu Xizhi.
But the court doctor just took a look and shook his head.
Lu Yunzheng had no choice but to comfort Gu Xizhi while questioning Hong Chi many times.
These days, Gu Xizhi was accompanied by her maid to go to the doctor she had found on the Ghost Festival to change the medicine.
Today, when Lu Yunzheng was on duty, he stopped Hong Chi under the pretext of patrolling the city.
"Brother Hong, has the nobleman replied?"
After so many days passed, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but wonder whether Hong Chi had not delivered the letter to King Xiang on his behalf.
But at this moment, Hong Chi was his only way to contact King Xiang, so he didn't dare to ask this question.
Lu Yunzheng thought he would be disappointed again today, but Hong Chi actually nodded, looked around, carefully took out the letter from his arms, and quickly put it in his hand.
However, Hong Chi’s expression was not good, and even full of resentment.
"Deputy Commander, I know you are anxious, but you have left too many traces these days. If I am discovered, it will ruin your plans."
"Next, don't come looking for me again!"
After Hong Chi finished speaking, he left in a hurry with a gloomy face.
Although Lu Yunzheng was displeased with Hong Chi's words and actions, he did not dare to offend Prince Xiang's people, so he had to swallow his anger and watch Hong Chi leave.
At this moment, Lu Yunzheng couldn't even wait to return to the government office. He immediately found a corner and took out the letter impatiently.
Just like last time, there was only a thin piece of letter paper in the envelope. When it was opened, there were still only a few words.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes fell, and suddenly his eyes widened and he froze in place.
It was written on it——
"Ms. Gu has found a good doctor. What do you want?"
Lu Yunzheng clutched the letter paper, his eyes blank.
What's the meaning? Xizhi has found a good doctor?
Lu Yunzheng was puzzled and went straight to the newly rented villa as soon as he finished his shift.
He had been sleeping in the same room with Xizhi these past few days. Of course, he didn't have any romantic thoughts, he was just worried about Xizhi.
In the first few days after the injury, Xizhi was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep all night, so he didn't sleep either. He lit the lamp to accompany Xizhi, talking to her to divert her attention.
It was not until recent days that Xizhi finally felt better, and the two of them were able to sleep soundly for a few nights.
He had always thought that his injuries had improved over the past few days because the doctor's medicine had taken effect over time, but it turned out that Xizhi had found a good doctor?
When Gu Xizhi saw Lu Yunzheng returning, a genuine smile immediately appeared on her face.
These days were painful and tormenting, but Yun Zheng was also gentle and considerate as never before. What women desire sometimes is probably unconditional love and care...
Lu Yunzheng originally wanted to ask directly, but when he saw Gu Xizhi's smiling face and the two maids who were busy preparing the meal, he took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth for some reason.
While sitting at the table, Lu Yunzheng reached out to Gu Xizhi, gently lifted her arm, and asked in a gentle voice:
"Did you remember to change the dressing today? Are you still feeling pain?"
As Lu Yunzheng spoke, he carefully looked at the gauze in Gu Xizhi's hand. It was snow-white and clean, with a faint scent of medicine.
Gu Xizhi nodded slightly, "Yes, I went, and the doctor said that I look much better, but..."
Speaking of this, Gu Xizhi couldn't help but look gloomy.
This hand will never be able to recover to its original state. Not to mention writing with a pen, if it is not well taken care of, even holding dishes and chopsticks will be a problem.
Hearing this, Lu Yunzheng gently stroked Gu Xizhi's face and whispered to comfort her: "It's okay, Xizhi, it's a good thing that you are recovering."
"It's my fault that I haven't been able to invite an imperial physician for you yet."
At this point, Lu Yunzheng's face was full of shame, his eyes slightly closed, but in fact his eyes were fixed on Gu Xizhi.
Lu Yunzheng has said these words many times in recent days. Gu Xizhi did not doubt him and said with understanding as usual:
"Yun Zheng, you don't have to do this. The doctor is already very good. Don't force it."
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, he clenched his hands under his sleeves suddenly, and an indescribable chill filled his heart.
What is going on...
But on the surface, they were considerate of each other, and every word they said was for each other's consideration, and the scene looked very warm.
After dinner, Lu Yunzheng put on his coat and was about to go out, even thinking of a reason.
"Xizhi, we can't just let it go like this. I'll go back and beg Dad to see if there's any solution."
"If you are sleepy, don't wait for me. I will be back soon."
Gu Xizhi finally softened her heart.
These days, Lu Yunzheng really put his whole heart into her, and the scene of him accompanying her all night long is still vivid in her mind.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi took Lu Yunzheng's hand and advised him with some distress: "Yunzheng, there is no need to rush around anymore. I... I am already very good like this."
However, Lu Yunzheng shook his head with determination, leaned over and kissed Gu Xizhi's forehead, then turned and walked out.
Outside the courtyard, he jumped on his horse and ran towards the Lu Mansion without hesitation.
The wind was freezing cold along the way and Lu Yunzheng's face was as gloomy as water.
At a corner, he suddenly tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and his figure disappeared into the dark night.
