As soon as Gu Yuzhi spoke, Shu Xiaohan looked up and shook her head pleadingly.
The young prince is already feeling very unwell, so please don't say anything more!
This time, Wen Xiuzhu refused without hesitation: "Your Highness, I have no intention of changing hosts."
Even when he was a wealthy merchant, he was still of lowly status. His descendants were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations or serve as officials in the court. The Wen clan remained lowly merchants for generations.
He was already used to being obsequious to members of the royal family, so when he initially chose the young prince, Wen Xiuzhu actually felt a little bit of secret pleasure deep down.
No matter how noble Gu Yuzhi's status is, when facing me, he still sweetly calls me Manager Wen and wants me to teach him how to make money.
For a fleeting moment, he felt like he had turned the tables and could even use his advantages to make Gu Yuzhi his puppet.
This thought would pop up from time to time, but he forcibly suppressed it time and time again. Until Gu Yuzhi went blind, he suddenly felt that all the secret pleasures and unspeakable little thoughts he had in the past had lost their meaning.
So his desire to leave was partly due to his fear of not getting a good ranking in the competition, but that was just one of the less important reasons.
But the two of them had been deliberately silent during this time, and what the young prince had said to him earlier made Wen Xiuzhu realize that it wasn't like that at all!
He lowered his eyes, his small eyes seeming to be completely closed, and said with difficulty, "Actually, I have never left Your Highness like this."
"Deep down, I've always felt that I'm a businessman, and I only care about profits. Feelings don't count for anything to me!"
He never cared about his family when he was alive, so why would he care about a host who was just one of his tasks after he died?
So he kept telling himself that leaving was the best option: "But whenever I had that thought, I would think I should wait a little longer, maybe His Highness will see it tomorrow."
As long as the young prince can see it, I can continue to find ways to make him my puppet.
They kept putting it off until Shu Xiaohan noticed something was wrong, and the two started arguing.
His voice was hoarse as he said, "I know that Teacher Shu likes His Highness very much. She would never abandon His Highness at this time. So, my argument with her is actually in the hope that the reasoning and explanations that Teacher Shu gives can make me completely let go of these messy thoughts."
Those sinful thoughts hidden deep within.
It seems that ever since he could remember, he has been scheming against others or being schemed against by others. Even his parents, wife, and children seem to be scheming against each other.
In his lifetime, he had never experienced being with someone as sincere, pure, and innocent as the young prince.
Professor Shu, despite being a PhD from a modern agricultural research institute, often rambles on incomprehensible words, but is essentially an exceptionally simple person.
Wen Xiuzhu never imagined that the life he longed for, free from deceit and treachery, would actually come true here...
Thinking of all this, and seeing Gu Yuzhi's dejected appearance, Wen Xiuzhu knelt down abruptly, shaking his head desperately: "Your Highness, I know that after Teacher Shu and I complete our mission, we will be forcibly sent away, but I really don't want to leave you at this time."
"Now, in my heart, you are my master, the most important person in my heart."
Wen Xiuzhu deeply regretted his actions and wept bitterly in repentance.
Gu Yuzhi's mouth was open, and without realizing it, the stuffy feeling in his chest gradually began to dissipate, and his acid reflux began to feel better little by little, although his throat was still a little sore.
He stared blankly at Manager Wen, feeling that Manager Wen was a complete stranger, yet it was as if the veil that had separated them had been lifted, making Manager Wen a clearer figure.
He pursed his lips into a straight line and his gaze returned to Judge Qin.
Manager Wen said he didn't want to leave, but what about himself?
He suddenly burst into tears: "Judge Qin, am I going to die?"
The physician Qin's hand trembled slightly as he took the pulse. He quickly removed his hand, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a long while.
His appearance was truly frightening, and Liu Dianyi and the others turned pale.
What happened? The young prince was perfectly fine when he came. Could he really have contracted some incurable disease?
Liu Dianyi and the others bowed down in unison, banging their heads heavily on the backs of their hands. No one spoke, but everyone was trembling violently.
They were more afraid that something would happen to the young prince than that they would be punished by the emperor!
After a long pause, Judge Qin resumed taking Gu Yuzhi's pulse, this time with an even more solemn expression.
As Gu Yuzhi cried, he started vomiting again. He threw up everything he had eaten, and what he was vomiting now was just stomach acid. Some of the acid didn't have time to come out and even went back into his nasal cavity, followed by another round of violent coughing.
Judge Qin repeatedly checked the pulse with his left and right hands several times, but he could not find anything wrong with the pulse.
But the young prince is vomiting and coughing badly; if this continues, he might bleed...
Liu Dianyi and the others stared intently at Qin Yuanpan, noticing his furrowed brows and his constant, silent pulse-taking, which seemed to confirm that the young prince had contracted an incurable disease.
The group was in a daze, not knowing why, but their noses felt sore and their eyes were red.
Just then, Granny Xu and Chief Secretary Xie brought over some medicinal tea. Before they even went in, they saw a group of people kneeling on the floor, and Gu Yuzhi's coughs could be heard from time to time.
At this point, his cough became hoarse.
Xu Mama slowly turned her stiff neck, exchanged a glance with Xie Changshi, and the medicinal tea she was holding instantly fell to the ground.
The crisp sound of breaking flesh startled Qin Yuanpan awake. He slowly withdrew his hand and carefully examined Gu Yuzhi's tongue, eyes, and heartbeat...
No problem, none of it is a problem.
His Highness's coughing and vomiting were completely inexplicable!
He slowly stood up, let out a long sigh, and said, "I..."
Gu Yuzhi became nervous and stared at him with wide eyes. For some reason, she started hiccuping again while crying, and the nausea and urge to cough disappeared all at once.
Qin, the Imperial Physician, slowly said, "Your Highness, I am truly incompetent. I could not discern anything unusual about Your Highness's health from your pulse."
Not only was there nothing unusual, but the pulse actually indicated that His Highness's body should be in very good health.
Gu Yuzhi was so startled that he stopped hiccuping.
It's over, even Physician Qin can't diagnose his illness!
