Chief Secretary Xie felt more wronged than Dou E. Seeing the young prince's sullen expression, he couldn't help but defend himself: "Your Highness, your health was really not good at the time. You were too weak to take tonics, so Imperial Physician Qin suggested that Granny Xu make you a medicinal meal."
Gu Yuzhi raised his chin and snorted: "I know that, you don't need to repeat it to me!"
"And what I'm angry about isn't that I'm being forced to drink medicinal cuisine, it's that I've been drinking it for too long."
Xie Changshi, don't even think about changing the subject; he won't fall for it.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chief Secretary Xie said with a doting expression, "Of course I know Your Highness is unhappy that you've been drinking for too long. I'm just explaining to you that Your Highness can't handle strong medicines, so we're using medicinal cuisine, right?"
"You also think that medicinal cuisine is actually very useful, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked Granny Xu to make it for Prefect Ke, would you?"
Gu Yuzhi lowered his arms slightly, which were crossed over his chest. That's right.
Although it was painful to keep using medicinal diets, his body really recovered very well.
Prefect Ke is the same way.
Although he didn't gain weight while in Changzhou, Judge Qin said that Prefect Ke's pulse was getting stronger every day.
Thinking about it that way, he felt that he wasn't so confident anymore.
The arms that were crossed over her chest were lowered slightly.
Shu Xiaohan was dumbfounded.
No, Your Highness, you've been misled!
You're angry because Judge Qin and the others keep making you use medicinal cuisine, not because the medicinal cuisine is effective or not!
However, Shu Xiaohan did not offer any reminders. The next moment, Xie Changshi continued, "The purpose of what I said is to tell you that at that time, your physical condition could only be improved little by little."
After he finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Besides, it was Imperial Physician Qin and Granny Xu who insisted on making you use medicinal cuisine. What does it have to do with me? I can't make that decision."
Compared to Judge Qin's anger and outburst, it's certainly more important that His Highness doesn't get angry.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuzhi's temper completely disappeared.
He slowly lowered his crossed arms, pouted in dissatisfaction, and his big eyes darted around, quickly landing on Prefect Ke.
He quickly found other points of curiosity: "Prefect Ke, Prefect Ke, is your yamen short-staffed? Are all the yamen runners promoted from across the prefecture?"
Once Xinliang is completed, he will have Chief Secretary Xie manage these matters, with Prefect Chen and Prefect Liu assisting. Then, Guards Qi and Zhang will have to make do with the work of constables.
Gu Yuzhi had arranged everything perfectly for everyone around him, as for himself...
He covered his mouth and chuckled to himself. Of course, he wanted to read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles!
Ke Liangyi nodded and said, "Yes, we've almost finished recruiting."
When this was mentioned, Ke Liangyi's expression immediately darkened.
When he was first promoted to prefect, there weren't many capable people in the yamen; those people were all people he had personally trained...
Gu Yuzhi realized he had said the wrong thing. He held his chin in his hands and pouted, wanting to say something. But when he looked up, he saw Xie Changshi shaking his head slightly at him. His lips instantly pursed into a straight line.
After Ke Liangyi escorted them to the inn, he continued, "General Lu sent someone with a message saying that he would arrive a little later."
Gu Yuzhi's eyes darted around, and he quickly understood what Prefect Ke meant.
A little later, it will be late, around the time when Chief Secretary Xie is resting.
Gu Yuzhi waved his hand with a smile: "I know, I know."
He stretched his body slightly, stood still and secretly gestured to show the height difference between himself and Guard Qi, pouting and complaining, "Why haven't I grown taller yet!"
He needs to grow taller quickly so he can ride a horse next time he goes out!
You should know that the little pony that Guard Qi gave him was a bit too small and not suitable for traveling such a long distance.
But horses grow very quickly; they might grow as tall and strong as Qi Shiwei's horse this year.
But he only grows a little bit each year, and this winter he won't be able to ride his little pony anymore.
Muttering to himself, Gu Yuzhi felt a little sleepy and sat in the chair, his little head nodding off.
With a swift movement, Guard Qi lifted Gu Yuzhi onto the bed, carefully tucked him in, and then the group quietly slipped out.
When Gu Yuzhi woke up, General Lu had already arrived and was sitting in Chief Secretary Xie's room, where they spoke in hushed tones.
Gu Yuzhi rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door to see a pair of straight and slender legs. He tilted his head back and said in a childish voice, still a little groggy from just waking up, "Guard Qi, I'm hungry."
Qi, the guard, squatted down, and Gu Yuzhi's neck slowly returned to normal. He smiled and asked, "What good food does Quanzhou have?"
He glanced to the side and asked, "Where are Chief Secretary Xie and the others?"
Guard Qi pointed to the room next door: "It's in his own room. Your Highness, please go back to your room and wait for a while. I will go and have the waiter bring out the specialties of Quanzhou."
Gu Yuzhi nodded repeatedly, walked to the window, and stood on tiptoe to look down.
Wow, the whole state is so lively!
Gu Yuzhi's little head swayed left and right, and he stretched his neck out as much as he could, wanting to see more.
Little did he know that as he stretched out, most of his body was already sticking out.
When Guard Qi returned, he saw Gu Yuzhi's legs dangling inside. He was so frightened that he lost his mind and his palms went numb. He rushed forward and scooped Gu Yuzhi back up.
"Your Highness, please be careful!"
Gu Yuzhi was completely unaware of the danger; he just thought it was so much fun and giggled, clapping for himself repeatedly: "So much fun!"
Is this the feeling of swinging on a swing that Fifth Brother used to talk about?
He looked at Guard Qi expectantly: "Guard Qi, Guard Qi, when we get back to Changzhou, could you make me a swing?"
He gestured as he spoke: "I want the big kind, the kind that I can fly really high in after I sit on it!"
Qi, the guard, blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.
No, Your Highness, why did you associate this with a swing?
He hesitated and said, "But Your Highness, the height you can fly with your lightness skill is higher than that of a swing."
Is that so?
Gu Yuzhi scratched his head, his little eyebrows furrowed tightly: "But, but I know light-footed kung fu, it won't stop me from wanting to play on the swing, will it?"
He twirled his index finger and said longingly, "I've never played on a swing before!"
Upon seeing this expression on his face, Guard Qi abandoned all principles and immediately raised both hands in agreement: "Good, good, good. When we return to Changzhou, I will make you a big swing."
Before Gu Yuzhi could speak, he continued, "I will build you a super large Prince Xinliang's mansion, big enough to seat five or six people at once!"
Five or six people together?
Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and imagined the scene; no matter how he thought about it, it seemed incredibly impressive!
