"Don't worry, I'm blessed with a long life. It's impossible for me to die in vain." Gu Yunru thought about her fate, which was different from that of others.

"That's what I said, but I heard about Hu Laotao's story. Miss Xiangping is also very pitiful. Now she is alone and helpless. If Xiangping really lives with you two from now on, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Shu'er's words reminded Gu Yunru. Gu Yunru held Yaya in her arms and coaxed her softly, then handed her to Xi Niang, "Xiangping saved my life. After all, she is my savior. I don't think I should look at her with prejudice. Since she wants to stay in Huajianlou, let her stay.

Xiaoyu can handle the affairs of Sumu Zhai alone, and it is a good opportunity to train her. But you, what are you doing returning to Qizhou City this time? Don't you know how dangerous it is here?"

Gu Yunru looked at her with a face full of reproach, inevitably a bit sarcastic, Shu'er pouted her little mouth and sat beside her, holding her arm with a playful look and said: "I am not worried about your situation, aunt? Besides, the government of Qizhou City is still short of an official.

I plan to let Ji Heng stay in that position for a few days, and then leave after I find a suitable candidate. Besides, I originally wanted to settle down in Qizhou, but the people in the Ji Mansion disagreed, so I can't stay here. Otherwise, I don't want to be separated from my aunt. "

Shu'er clung to her side like a little child, and she would never grow up. Gu Yunru looked at her worriedly and said, "Has it rained in the capital recently? If it rains, your bone marrow pain will come back.

My aunt has developed a kind of elixir these days. If you get sick, you should take it quickly. It can greatly relieve your pain. "Shu'er nodded, and when she was about to take a look at the elixir, Ji Heng appeared at the door.

It was such a coincidence that he came here. I don’t know if he heard the conversation between the two just now. Shu’er felt very guilty.

Gu Yunru blinked with a twinkling look in his eyes, pulled Shu'er up and said, "By the way, Shu'er just told me that you are going to take up an official post. Have you been to the government office today?"

Ji Heng nodded and said, "I just went to see that the government office is short of staff, and is preparing to recruit some militiamen. I'll leave first." Shu'er looked at Ji Heng's back, turned her head to glance at Gu Yunru, and then quickly followed him.

The couple arrived at the government office and stayed there. Looking at Ji Heng, who had no expression on his face, Shu'er carefully brought him some tea and said, "Husband, you must be tired from all the traveling. Have some tea to moisten your throat."

"Just leave it there. I'll drink it when I'm thirsty." Ji Heng still spoke softly to her, not even raising his voice a bit. Shu'er breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason the pill slipped out of her sleeve and he happened to see it.

Unexpectedly, Ji Heng picked up the bottle of pills before him. He looked at the bottle of pills in his hand with a curious and playful look, and said to Shu'er, "Can you tell me what this is?"

Shu'er was speechless for a moment, not knowing where to start, and she kept mumbling, as if she hadn't figured out what excuse to make up. Ji Heng smiled and said, "You don't need to hide it, just say it directly.

This medicine is for your bone marrow disease, but you never told me why you got such a strange disease. Every time I wanted to ask a doctor for you, you always refused. Are you hiding something from me?"

Ji Heng had discovered the trick long ago, but he had never brought it to the surface. But today, he finally couldn't help it. Shu'er held her hands anxiously, looked at him and said, "Husband, are you doubting me? I have had this problem for a long time, and you should know the specific situation."

"Yes, I should know everything, but I find that after being married to you for so long, I still know nothing about you.

Including the things you and the princess have been talking about in secret, I have heard them a few times, but I didn't take them to heart at that time. Now can you tell me the truth about the cause of your bone marrow pain?"

Ji Heng asked directly without giving her any chance to prepare.

"Husband, it's nothing actually. It's just a disease of mine..." Shu'er was very evasive in her words, not to mention how guilty her eyes looked.

"We have been married for so long, and I have never hidden anything from you." Ji Heng looked at the bottle of pills curiously and raised it to her and said, "If you don't tell me the truth, I will swallow all of this bottle of pills and see what the consequences will be."

"No! Husband, if you want to know, then I'll tell you. This is indeed the medicine that cures my bone marrow pain. My bone marrow is diseased because I was attacked by the Gu, so I got this disease..." Shu'er stammered and told the truth, but she had chosen her words carefully. She had expected Ji Heng to ask her about the bone marrow pain, so she kept hesitating and was unwilling to tell the truth.

"Gu? Do you know that the art of raising Gu is a taboo in the court? How dare you do such a thing, especially with your identity..." Ji Heng pursed his lips tightly, looking at Shu'er in front of him, wondering how many things she was hiding from him.

"I know, but I can only do this to save your life. In fact, what you don't know is that you almost died in the deserted valley when you led troops to war, so I specially raised this kind of Gu to save your life. The price was to use my bone marrow to feed it, but I didn't expect it to leave sequelae." Shu'er recalled this scene and shed tears. Ji Heng looked at her and immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Why are you so stupid!"

"That's right, I'm so stupid. I'm willing to do anything for you, not to mention my own life. I've gone through fire and water for you, and I've never even blinked an eye." Shu'er actually cried and laughed as she spoke, and Ji Heng held her in his arms without saying a word.

The knot between the two was finally untied. Shu'er came to Huajianlou and mentioned to Gu Yunru the last time Ji Heng asked about the elixir. Thinking back to that scene, she still felt frightened and said, "Fortunately, aunt, you taught me how to respond to Ji Heng's questioning earlier, otherwise I would definitely be exposed. If he knew that I used the Si Xin Di Gu on him, I don't know what he would think of me."
