Because of his gastrointestinal problems, the Duke of Weiguo's wife invited imperial physicians to treat him several times, and he had taken medicine, but there was no improvement. She could only advise him to drink less.
Gu Yanfei praised Duke Weiguo in a serious tone, "You are so awesome!" He is so patient that he is like steel!
Chu Yi turned his head, put his fist under his lips, and laughed softly, elegantly and restrained.
“……” The Duke of Wei opened and closed his mouth, speechless.
He never took those problems such as nausea, bloating and abdominal pain seriously, he just got used to it.
After all, he had many old wounds on his body from the battlefield. On normal days, whenever it rained or snowed and he caught a cold, it hurt like a knife.
Even though he occasionally had blood in his stool, the Duke of Weiguo thought it was no big deal. The prescriptions written by the imperial doctors were too bitter and useless anyway. After drinking them a few times, he would secretly pour the medicine away.
Duke Wei coughed twice to cover up, and his smile was a little forced. He chuckled and said, "Okay, okay."
Knowing her husband as she is to her wife, Lady Weiguo saw at a glance the guilty look in her husband's smile, and her heart moved, and she narrowed her eyes.
"You are such a jerk, Wei Shen!" A dangerous light flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and grabbed the Duke of Wei's right ear, twisting it harshly...
Duke Weiguo took a breath and his pale face suddenly became distorted.
If they hadn't been outside, he would have almost said "Madam, please spare my life."
The wife of Duke Weiguo quickly let go of Duke Weiguo's ear, and generously showed Gu Yanfei a hearty smile, and said apologetically: "Young... Master, I have an impatient temper and was abrupt just now."
As she spoke, she untied a horse whip from her waist and forcefully thrust it at Gu Yanfei, "I have a horse that can travel a thousand miles a day. Take this as my apology!"
"Let's forget our grudges and laugh it off. Don't bother with a fool like me... Hey, it's all because of this old man's reluctance to seek medical attention that he got worse and caused such a misunderstanding!"
As she was talking, the wife of the Duke of Weiguo took her anger out on the Duke of Weiguo. She couldn't help but punch him on the arm a few times. She also changed the way she addressed him from "Ashi" to "old man" with disgust.
Poor Duke Weiguo had just recovered from a serious illness, and was hit so hard by his wife that he almost couldn't stand.
Gu Yanfei burst into laughter, the sound was as clear as a silver bell, and it seemed as if a breeze carrying the scent of flowers was sweeping past.
She was thinking of buying a horse!
"Well." Gu Yanfei grabbed the horsewhip and swung it casually, accepting the other party's apology.
This Madam Wei's straightforward and hot-tempered personality is somewhat similar to that of her Ninth Senior Sister in the Yaoling Realm.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanfei couldn't help but feel a little closer to Madam Wei, so he said a few more words: "Duke, you have an old illness. Although the root cause has been removed, it is not fully healed yet."
"When you get back, ask the imperial physician to prescribe a prescription for you to take care of yourself. After a year or so, you will be able to recover. From now on, you must not drink strong liquor or eat fatty meat."
"Otherwise, your life span will be short."
As she spoke, she looked around the room full of stinking blood and pulled the corner of her lip with a smile. Her tone was as light as if she was chatting casually, but the extraordinary means she had demonstrated before made no one dare to take it lightly.
"Little..." Duke Weiguo wanted to say little girl, but then he thought that it would be ugly if the girl was dressed as a man, so he changed his words abruptly, "Little brother, thank you very much this time."
As he spoke, he felt somewhat frightened.
However, the Duke of Wei was, after all, a veteran who had experienced countless life and death trials. That fragile emotion was only fleeting, and soon he perked up again, thinking: He came to listen to the opera, and unexpectedly met a living immortal, which means that he is not destined to die!
Little brother? Gu Yanfei was amused by this title. Doesn't that mean she is Chu Yi's little cousin?
She couldn't help but glance at Chu Yi with a muffled smile, her dark eyes sparkling with light and her smile dimples faintly.
Their eyes met, and Chu Yi raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Little brother," Lady Weiguo had the same tacit understanding with her husband and asked eagerly, "Do you have any prescription for warming and nourishing the body?"
In the past half hour, Lady Weiguo felt like she had walked back and forth between heaven and hell. At this moment, she was completely convinced of Gu Yanfei and looked at her expectantly.
Gu Yanfei shook his head calmly and said, "I am better at emergency medicine."
She was telling the truth, she was indeed better at emergencies.
In the Yaoling Realm, those cultivators only needed medical help when they were seriously injured and about to die, or when their cultivation was greatly damaged. For minor injuries and illnesses, they only needed to meditate and take some spiritual herbs and medicines.
Upon hearing this, Lady Weiguo stopped insisting and thanked him again: "Thank you for your guidance, little brother."
When Gu Yanfei heard the word "little brother", he couldn't help but smile again, secretly happy.
The Duke of Weiguo had a bitter face, for he knew that his days would not be so good from now on, and he would have to live a life of mediocrity.
This is even worse than vomiting blood just now! ! Duke Wei sighed in his heart and bowed to Chu Yi dryly: "My dear nephew, I am sorry for bothering you this time."
"Your aunt and I will visit your house some other day."
When talking about "aunt", Duke Weiguo's tone was a little strange.
These polite words sounded so stiff, and they really didn't seem like the Duke of Wei who was said to have dared to confront even the late emperor and the current emperor.
Murong Yong looked back and forth between Duke Weiguo and Chu Yi, a hint of thought flashed across his eyes, and then he looked at Chu Yi carefully again without saying a word.
Seeing that things were going on, the runners guarding outside the private room began to disperse the crowd, shouting, "Alright, alright, everyone, go back and do what you need to do."
After a while, the corridor outside became empty.
Given the Duke of Weiguo's current condition, it was impossible for him to stay here to watch the show. After his wife personally put a cloak on him, the couple said goodbye.
"We'll talk some other day." Duke Wei said carelessly. Although the cause of his illness had been cured by spitting out so much blood, it also damaged his vitality. After just a few words, he already looked tired.
Murong Yong hurriedly and attentively took the initiative to see them out.
Chu Yi saw some clues from her little movements and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's true." Gu Yanfei whispered, "It's Ze Shuikun."
Chu Yi had read a lot of miscellaneous books, so he asked, "Great evil?"
Gu Yanfei nodded, and the corners of his rosy lips curved into a thoughtful arc.
Duke Weiguo had clearly managed to escape danger and save his life, but the black energy on his forehead had not completely dissipated, which meant that his "bad luck" did not only come from the "recurrence of old illness."
Therefore, Gu Yanfei just cast a fortune and got this very bad omen.
Chu Yi did not say anything to interrupt her thoughts, but looked at her quietly, his eyes calm and deep.
The next moment, she turned and looked at him.
The big eyes as bright as the rising sun reflected directly into Chu Yi's pupils.
"Don't worry, I agreed that I will help you." Gu Yanfei curled his lips and smiled, confident and calm.
Since she hasn't finished helping yet, she is a person of her word and will definitely not give up halfway.
She couldn't help but touch the plum blossom jade hairpin on her hair again, her movements gentle and affectionate.
She had been doing a few divinations today, but her head didn't hurt. This hairpin is really good! She was in a good mood, stood on tiptoe, and patted him on the shoulder happily, "I'm here."
“……”Chu Yi’s pupils twitched slightly.
From childhood to adulthood, he has not had good luck and has stumbled through many things to get to where he is today.
And at this moment, it was like the bright light of the rising sun shining into the darkness.
The lake of my heart ripples gently, the waves are shimmering...
"Yes, you are one of them." There was a momentary light in Chu Yi's eyes, and his gaze was soft and focused.
Pleased by his trusting eyes, the smile on Gu Yanfei's face deepened: "I..." She wanted to say that she was very powerful.
The sky outside suddenly darkened, as if night had arrived early, and a huge bolt of lightning suddenly struck the sky.
The silver-white lightning seemed to be about to strike through the window towards the two people in the private room.
“Sizzle!”
Lightning comes suddenly and goes suddenly.
In just a blink of an eye, the sky became as bright and transparent as the blue sea, as if the lightning just now was an illusion.
Everyone was startled by the lightning that struck in broad daylight.
Gu Yanfei's eyes widened and his pupils shrank slightly.
Heavenly Dao!? This is a demonstration of Heavenly Dao!
Gu Yanfei tilted his head and thought about it. What did she just say?
She helped him? So—
She and he, two people abandoned by heaven, wanted to change their fate, which brought displeasure from heaven? !
When this thought came to mind, Gu Yanfei felt a familiar dull pain in his chest, and a rusty and bloody smell rose from his throat.
Enduring the discomfort, she struggled to tell another fortune, her fingers moving slowly...
Changed!
The bad omen just now has changed again.
It has become full of uncertainty and seems to be even more severe, but there seems to be a glimmer of hope.
Gu Yanfei thought of something, his eyes shone brightly, and he suddenly looked at the person next to him.
Then, she had to help! The sky seemed to be responding to something, and then another brighter lightning fell, instantly covering Tianyin Pavilion.
The wife of the Duke of Wei, who had just got on the carriage, also looked back, secretly amazed.
She lowered the curtains and seemed to be asking the Duke of Wei, or talking to herself: "Why is the eldest prince here?"
"I came to watch a show." Wei Guogong said as a matter of course, picking up a white towel and wiping his face and beard roughly.
The Duke of Weiguo was not familiar with Chu Yi either. Apart from the day when Chu Yi returned to the palace and a few times seeing him from a distance at the morning court later, the only time he really dealt with Chu Yi was when he was fighting those pretentious aristocratic families in the East Warm Pavilion a few days ago.
After wiping his face, Duke Wei threw the bloodstained white towel onto the small table and sighed, "I'm afraid the court is going to be in chaos."
After sighing, he laughed again: "This time, I owe the eldest prince a huge favor."
After all, he had a serious illness, so his laughter sounded a little more hollow than usual, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"It's not a favor, it's fate." The wife of Duke Weiguo rolled her eyes and said seriously.
