Chapter 1639: Hidden

Zhou Shuren saw Zhuo Guyu standing there and didn't leave, so he raised his head and asked, "Anything else?"

Zhuo Guyu was still respectful, "The Crown Prince is in the Ministry of Revenue. The Emperor asked me to bring a message to the Crown Prince."

Zhou Shuren signaled Jianyan to invite the prince. The prince came quickly and saw Zhuo Guyu, "What did the emperor ask you to tell me?"

Zhuo Guyu paused for a moment. The prince actually did not avoid Zhou Hou. What kind of trust did he have? Hiding the emotions in his eyes, he said, "The emperor said that this humble official should follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhou Shuren did not stop flipping through the account books. The emperor had already expressed his desire to use the Yong'an Mansion, so it was normal for him to single out Zhuo Guyu now.

The prince smiled and said, "Then you can go to the houses whose property I want to confiscate on my behalf."

Zhuo Guyu was delighted, thinking that the prince valued him. "Yes."

The prince waited for Zhuoguyu to leave, "Marquis Zhou is not surprised at all."

Zhou Shuren, "The emperor's expression is very obvious."

So there is no need to worry about him. He does not mind being reused in the Yong'an Duke's Mansion. Sometimes the more reused a person is, the faster he dies. Once his value is squeezed out, he can be abandoned.

Today, the streets of the capital are full of soldiers and officers. It has been many years since there has been such a big commotion in the capital, and there are fewer pedestrians on the streets.

This is just the capital city. The smuggling involves a wide range of people. This time the emperor is not just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, but killing a wave of people. All the properties of those involved in various states have been confiscated.

In the Hanlin Academy, the top scholar came to Gu Sheng's side and said, "Lord Zhuo is highly regarded by the emperor."

Gu Sheng raised his head, "Lord Wang is jealous?"

The top scholar was indeed jealous. He was the top scholar, but unfortunately he did not have the birthplace of a duke. "Aren't you jealous?"

Gu Sheng lowered his head and said, "I just want to do my job well."

The top scholar thinks Gu Sheng will not take advantage of his status. If he had Gu Sheng's good looks, he would definitely choose a good marriage to help him. "You are still too young."

Young people are arrogant and think they can rely on themselves, but reality will teach Gu Sheng a lesson before long.

Gu Sheng doesn't like Lord Wang in his heart. He knows there are many people like Lord Wang, but he doesn't want to become Lord Wang.

The top scholar's eyes suddenly flashed, "I'm older than you, can I introduce you to a marriage?"

Chang Zhi really didn't want to eavesdrop. Now that the weather was hot, she opened the windows for ventilation. As a result, someone poached the man her daughter had set her eyes on!

Changzhi coughed and walked to the window. "Here is the book you wanted."

Gu Sheng took it with both hands, "Thank you, Master Zhou."

Changzhi, "I'm not in a hurry to use it, just return it to me after you've read it."

Gu Sheng waited until Lord Zhou left before he told Lord Wang, "I won't trouble you, Lord Wang. You should spend more time caring about your wife and children."

Did he know that Lord Wang had two beautiful brides?

Lord Wang looked embarrassed, muttered something about not knowing what was good for him, and returned to his seat.

In the mansion of Marquis Zhou, in Rong Yuyun's courtyard, the doctor took the pulse before the imperial physician arrived. Zhulan's heart skipped a beat when she saw that the doctor didn't say anything. She signaled Li to stay and she followed the doctor out of the bedroom.

The doctor was raised by the Marquis's family, and he did not hide the fact: "The old man is old, and the lady has some mental preparations."

Even though Zhulan had a premonition, she was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa has always been in good health. He hasn't had a serious illness in the past two years."

The doctor whispered, "That's why this disease is so severe."

It has been accumulating and now it can't be suppressed anymore. The organs are failing rapidly.

Zhulan pursed her lips. Her grandfather had been hiding his illness from the Li family. She came over to see her grandfather and discovered something was wrong.

The imperial physician arrived. Zhulan used her fourth uncle's token to invite the imperial physician. The two imperial physicians who came were familiar to her. One of them obviously knew everything, and the other's diagnosis was the same as that of the family doctor.

Zhulan pursed her lips. The old man was really good at hiding it. Zhulan asked the imperial physician to think of a solution.

Doctor Wu knew about this and said, "Madam Zhou, we will try our best."

I can only try my best but I cannot guarantee anything, and I hope that Duke Rong can live longer.

Zhu Lan asked, "Has anyone in the palace heard the news?"

Doctor Wu's forehead was covered with sweat. "The Duke said that the Emperor was busy, so he kept it a secret for now."

Zhulan said, "Prescribe some medicine."

Zhao waited for the imperial physician to leave, "This is also a coincidence, Ming Teng had an errand out of the capital, so the old man was able to keep it a secret."

If Mingteng was at home, the old man would not be able to keep it a secret.

Zhulan thought to herself that her fourth uncle knew his own body very well. "Yeah."

Back in the bedroom, the old man was lying with his eyes closed. His face was a little pale. He had been sick for a few days. The old man was really patient.

Li was very uneasy, "Mom, it's all my fault for not being careful and not noticing. Please punish me."

Zhulan waved her hands, "It's none of your business."

It was useless for Li to be attentive, because Fourth Uncle's yard was independent and Li had no control over it.

Zhulan watched for a while, and Rong Yuyun woke up. When he saw the person sitting on the chair, Rong Yuyun's breath was weak, "I found it."

Zhulan, "If I hadn't discovered it, how long would Fourth Uncle have kept it a secret?"

Rong Yuyun motioned to the servant to help him sit up, "I'm almost well now, I don't mean to alarm you, it's normal for people to get sick when they get old."

Zhulan still had something to wonder. Fourth Uncle was very clear about his own physical condition. "I have already asked a doctor to check Fourth Uncle's pulse."

Rong Yuyun's face stiffened. "I know."

Zhulan sighed, "You should have told us earlier."

Rong Yuyun was silent. Who wants to die? He also wanted to live, so that the Rong family would have successors. He didn't want to die even more. But things didn't go as he wished. Who could have thought that his body would deteriorate so quickly? "I'm glad I didn't have a child to raise."

Zhulan, "I'll ask the imperial physician to find a solution. Don't give up. We can still get better if we work together to treat it."

Rong Yuyun laughed, "Do you think I only let Doctor Wu see me?"

Zhulan, "......"

Rong Yuyun, "I will cooperate well, you can go back too."

Zhulan stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Um."

After leaving the yard, Li was worried, "Mom, Mingteng is still out on business."

Zhulan, "It will be fine for a while."

If you take good care of yourself in the future, you can still live for some time. As for how long you can live, it depends on fate.

Zhulan returned to the main courtyard and signaled Li to go back and rest. She experienced birth, aging, sickness and death again. She took the mirror and looked at herself. There were white hairs on her head and more and more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She looked at herself in the mirror in silence. She didn't know how long she could live.

My fourth uncle was diagnosed with good health every month, but his health deteriorated suddenly and no one can guarantee the future.

Because Zhulan knew about it, Rong Yuyun's physical condition could not be concealed and had been sent to the palace. The emperor personally left the palace and brought the head of the court with him.

Zhulan didn't accompany him, but Boss Zhou did. Boss Zhou sent the emperor away, "Mother, the emperor ordered the head of the hospital to find a way to take care of the old man's health."

Zhu Lan indicated that she understood, "You should go back and rest as well."

Qingxue came in, "A letter from home in Ningzhou."

When Boss Zhou heard this, his face twisted. What a treacherous son! He felt bad for his son giving away his private property. A few days after his son left, he wrote back to tell his wife. What a poor son!
