Xue Luan was stunned and looked up at him.
I saw my friend's face filled with a heart-warming pink color, enchantingly beautiful and breathtaking.
Li Yuxin blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like a small fan: "Xue Luanluan... remember to keep this a secret for me."
An inexplicable emotion flashed through his mind, but he instinctively ignored it and nodded his head immediately: "Okay."
But he was a little confused: "Last time when we attended the eldest prince's banquet, didn't you say that we couldn't like her?"
The warning is still fresh in my mind, how come I suddenly like it?
Li Yuxin narrowed her eyes slightly: "Because...she is so beautiful. You know, I like beautiful things the most."
This was indeed true. The cold and otherworldly face of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess flashed before Xue Luan's eyes. He nodded in agreement and put aside his doubts.
…
Gu Jinke traveled all the way and finally arrived in Yancheng on the afternoon of the fourth day. The fifth princess was placed in the county government office in Yancheng.
The local county magistrate received a message from the Fifth Princess' personal guards and checked the token. He immediately vacated the backyard of the county government office with great fear and trepidation and moved the Fifth Princess there.
It was estimated that the imperial court would send people over in the next two days, so the imperial guards and the county magistrate were waiting outside the city with people in advance.
As soon as Gu Jinke and the others arrived, Xun Ji took out the token and went to the front and knelt down.
The Fifth Princess' personal guard Feng You had lost a lot of weight in the past few days. His eyes were bloodshot and his lips were cracked from dryness. He was kneeling in the first row.
"I greet Your Highness the Crown Princess, the Second Princess, the Third Princess, and the Fourth Princess."
The voice that came out was also hoarse and dry.
Gu Jinke rode out from the separated team, and frowned when he saw her: "Okay, take us directly to see the fifth sister."
They quickly arrived at the backyard of the county government office, where the Fifth Princess' men were densely packed around an iron barrel. When Gu Jinke, along with several princesses and imperial doctors, walked into the room, they smelled a strong odor of medicine.
The fifth princess was lying on the big bed in the middle, covered with a brocade quilt. Her face looked peaceful and her breathing was steady. Apart from being a little thin, she looked like she was asleep.
She was surrounded by two military doctors she brought with her, with worried looks on their faces.
Feng You lowered his head behind Gu Jinke and reported: "…On that day, the assassin's sword tip poked our master and he fell off his horse and fell unconscious. After we dealt with the assassin, we asked the military doctor to come and check. He thought he had a head injury. But after the examination, the military doctor also said that there were no major scars, and there was no sign of poisoning. But Your Highness has been in a coma since that day until now."
Gu Jinke turned his head and looked at the imperial doctors. Led by Dean Guo, four imperial doctors went up one by one to feel the patient's pulse.
But everyone was frowning as they stepped back, looking puzzled. Gu Jinke put his hands behind his back and looked at Dean Guo first: "How is it?"
Dean Guo said hesitantly, "From the pulse of the Fifth Princess, it is neither floating nor sinking, but calm and gentle, which is very normal. This coma... is like falling asleep."
The other doctors nodded hurriedly, and they also diagnosed the same pulse.
It is impossible to find out the cause of the disease, let alone talk about treatment.
There was a moment of silence.
Feng You's eyes were filled with despair.
Gu Jinke walked forward and sat down beside the bed, carefully looking at the Fifth Princess lying on the bed. She was very handsome and heroic, probably because she was often at the border. Her skin was slightly dark and her face was angular. The expression on her face was indeed as if she was asleep.
But Gu Jinke remembered that this scene did not exist in the original book. In the original book, the Crown Princess was upright and passionate. She was furious when she received the evidence of the military pay case, but she also handled the case and won praise from all walks of life.
The fifth princess was also ordered to return to the capital, but she returned safely. Because of Lord Degui's plea, the fifth princess was not apparently involved in the issue of military pay, and in the end she was only reprimanded by the empress.
The second princess, the third princess, and the fourth princess also came over. Everyone looked worried. The second princess scratched her head: "Then...what should we do now?"
Gu Jinke shook his head and said, "Let's go back to the capital. The doctors should look through the ancient books to find the cause of the disease. We will take the fifth sister back to the capital. There are many talented people in the capital. Maybe there is a way."
The Third Princess Gu Jinxiu nodded: "Yes, Mother, the Queen, and Father should also be very worried."
After discussing it, they did not stop. Unlike when they came, the Fifth Princess was unconscious and had to use a carriage. Gu Jinke waved his hand and asked them to prepare a few more. The expressions of several imperial doctors and princesses were relieved.
The speed was much slower than when they came here, and they did not return to the capital until noon on the sixth day. The Fifth Princess' coma still left everyone at a loss. They could only feed her some light porridge and water every day, but she still lost a lot of weight.
The Empress and Deguijun received the news early. As soon as they arrived, the fifth princess was sent to Deguijun's Zhaode Palace, and several princesses and doctors naturally followed.
When Lord Degui saw the Fifth Princess being carried in on a soft couch by several palace servants, he could not hold back his tears and ran over, his voice trembling: "Yun'er!"
The Queen also took a few steps forward to check, with worry in her sharp black eyes. She patted Deguijun's shoulder and said, "Move Laowu into the hall."
The palace servants started to move.
The Queen looked at the royal doctors and military doctors: "No progress yet?"
Several imperial doctors and military doctors knelt down and the scene was silent.
The queen slowly clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes, filled with worry and anger.
"Mother Queen." The third princess clenched the note in her hand and stepped out of the line.
The Queen looked at her with some inexplicable emotion in her eyes: "Hmm?"
Gu Jinxiu felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her head, and her breathing became a little sluggish. Just thinking about the contents of the note and her inner ambitions, she lowered her head and replied.
"Mother Queen, I once read an unofficial history book by chance. It described the disease of soul loss. It said that a person has three souls and seven spirits. When the soul is lost and leaves the body, the body is still there. To recover, all you need to do is to return the soul and spirit to the body."
The empress stared at the third princess for a long time before slowly looking away: "Fang Rui! Go and summon the Imperial Observatory and several masters."
Fang Rui responded and went downstairs to pass on the message. The empress glanced at the princesses and said calmly, "Okay, you all go back and rest first."
The third princess, Gu Jinxiu, hesitated: "Mother... I..."
The Queen glanced at her calmly and said, "Can you summon spirits? Go back!"
The third princess pursed her lips. He lowered his head and retreated with several princesses.
Gu Jinke seemed to be thinking about something. He walked out of the palace and took Xun Ji back home.
Sang Yi and Xin Shuang had been waiting at the gate of the mansion since they entered the city. But they went straight into the palace. The two waited for a long time before they saw the two people coming on horseback. They immediately took a step forward excitedly, staring at the leader with bright eyes.
Gu Jinke got off the horse. She was exhausted from the journey and only when she got off the horse and arrived at the gate of the Princess's Mansion did she feel down to earth.
Xin Shuang and Sang Yi were already paying their respects with a few servants.
"Your Highness, welcome back home!"
Gu Jinke waved his hand to let them off the hook, threw the reins to the waiting horse slave, untied the rope of his cloak, and strode inside, saying to Xun Ji, "Xun Ji, you should go and rest first."
Xun Ji responded, and the others followed the prince back to the palace with big strides.
Sang Yi followed her with a restrained look. She had long legs and took big steps. She was usually bound by the "Men's Training" and always walked with light and steady steps, and her steps were small. Now, in order to keep up with Gu Jinke, she could only run in small steps.
Gu Jinke didn't notice that the untied cloak had slipped down her back. She reached out to pull it to the front and hold it with her arms, but someone had already taken it over step by step before her: "Your Highness, come here, Sang Yi."
Sang Yi took it and hung it on his arm, then tilted his head and smiled at her, his pair of black and white eyes sparkling.
Gu Jinke looked at him and nodded.
"Everything has been prepared for Your Highness in the hot spring room. You can go over and take a bath now. Sang Yi has also prepared some snacks for Your Highness." Seeing that she did not refuse, Sang Yi's eyes curved, a smile poured out, and he whispered beside her.
Gu Jinke nodded slightly. He originally wanted to go back to the courtyard to take a bath first, but he didn't expect the people in the mansion to be so considerate and make such thorough preparations.
She turned around and went towards the hot spring pool.
Xin Shuang was stunned for a moment, then smiled. As expected, they were not so considerate before when there was no man serving them. Her Highness felt sorry for them, and she immediately looked at Sang Yi with great approval.
Sang Yi was stunned. Why did Butler Xin Shuang suddenly praise him?
When they arrived at the hot spring, Gu Jinke refused to let anyone follow him: "Okay, you guys stay outside and don't have to come in to serve me."
Sang Yi took a small step forward, her voice still cheerful and tentative: "Your Highness...?"
Gu Jinke paused as he was about to walk in, and turned his head: "Stop!"
Although she spoke in a gentle tone and with a calm expression, Sang Yi's steps froze.
This is rejection.
His heart, which had just been leaping with joy, suddenly sank to the bottom. He bit his lips unconsciously, leaving neat teeth marks on his plump lips.
Xin Shuang glanced at his master's disappearing back and silently patted Sang Yi's shoulder: "Your Highness has always been like this since he was a child, don't be too depressed."
She has been with His Highness since he was just a toddler. His Highness has never been a person who can get close to others since he was young. Over the years, only a few of them who have been with His Highness can be said to have barely entered His Highness' heart.
Sang Yi has only been with him for a short time, and what's more, he is a man that Your Highness should be wary of.
Sang Yi held the cloak, slowly lowered her head, and said "hmm" softly. Suddenly, she remembered what she promised Gu Jinke: "...I just want to survive..."
He is probably too greedy.
He was such a greedy person. He was reluctant at first and just wanted to survive in the Princess's Mansion.
Later, she survived and was spoiled by the prince and the princess's mansion, who were hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. After seeing the goodness of the prince, she began to have new ambitions in her heart that she shouldn't have had.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and something gradually settled in his eyes.
Seeing Xin Shuang still looking at him worriedly, he raised his head and smiled: "Butler Xin, I know."
He paused for a moment and said, "While Your Highness is taking a bath and resting, I will prepare some nourishing food that is easy to digest for Your Highness. Let Your Highness eat some and then rest to recuperate."
Xin Shuang nodded with satisfaction.
The best of this batch of servants is indeed good. He has a strong ability to withstand pressure, is careful and considerate, has learned a lot, and serves His Highness well.
Sang Yi bowed and left.
Gu Jinke, who was in the hot spring, took a deep breath and called out Xin Shuang.
Xin Shuang's expression was stern, with a gleam in his eyes. Where was the gentleness in his eyes?
She bowed and walked in quickly.
