Chapter 69 Life is More Important
However, before Gu Jin could even leave the north courtyard, the steward had already led Luo Yu in.
Luo Yu was wearing a purple robe today, and even though he was sitting in a wheelchair being pushed by someone, he still commanded respect.
"Your Highness Luo, I am deeply sorry for not being able to greet you properly."
Although Gu Jin clasped his hands in a fist salute to Luo Yu, his questioning gaze fell on the butler's face.
Upon seeing this, Luo Yu quickly said, "My lord, please don't blame the steward. I asked him to bring me here. I heard that Miss Gu was ill and was looking for a famous doctor. I happen to know some medical skills, so I volunteered to come uninvited."
Luo Yu adopted a very humble attitude, so much so that he didn't even need to refer to himself, which made Gu Jin feel very good about him.
Although this prince with royal blood might only be acting on a whim, Gu Jin couldn't refuse his kindness given his sincerity.
"Your Highness is very kind. Please come with me this way."
After Gu Jin finished speaking, he led Gu Shuyan into her boudoir. When they saw Luo Yu wearing a Guan Gong mask, the old lady and Madam Ji were startled at first. However, remembering that this young master Luo never showed his face to others, the two quickly greeted him.
Luo Yu also politely bowed and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect to the two of them, performing a junior's greeting.
Of the people present, there were two first-rank noblewomen, one first-rank marquis, and one first-rank heir. None of them were inferior to the others, but because the other was the son of the eldest princess, they had to be quite polite to each other.
After exchanging pleasantries with the two, Luo Yu looked up and saw Gu Shuyan lying on the bed.
The last time I saw her, she was lively and energetic, but after only a month, she is now lying here motionless.
"Xu Feng, push me over there."
Luo Yu's gaze remained fixed on Gu Shuyan without blinking. If it weren't for the fact that his mask was large enough to obscure his face, the three people present would probably have already become suspicious.
The wheelchair was pushed in front of Gu Shuyan. Luo Yu said "I'm sorry" before reaching out to check Gu Shuyan's pulse.
After a long while, Luo Yu turned around and looked at the three people who were waiting anxiously.
"Miss has been poisoned by the Ghost Chrysanthemum. This poison comes from the Western Regions and is very difficult for ordinary people to find. However, although the Ghost Chrysanthemum is strange, it is not difficult to cure."
Luo Yu's words were like a reassuring pill, instantly putting the three of them at ease.
"Does Prince Luo mean you can solve this?"
For the first time in two days, Ji's face showed an expression other than worry.
Seeing this, Luo Yu nodded firmly, "It can be cured, but it might require acupuncture on the young lady, so..."
Luo Yu didn't continue speaking, but everyone present naturally understood what he meant. Looking at the unconscious Gu Shuyan and then at Luo Yu who was asking for their opinion, Gu Jin felt for the first time that making a choice was so difficult.
Seeing Gu Jin hesitate, Luo Yu didn't urge him, but simply sat quietly in his wheelchair waiting for an answer.
After a long silence, it was Old Madam Gu who spoke first, "What's the point of those empty titles if you're already dead? At worst, we can just raise Yan'er for the rest of our lives. I believe Renjie and Yingjie won't object."
These words were like a wake-up call. Gu Jin immediately nodded and said, "Even if my daughter from the Marquis of Yi'an's mansion can't get married, we won't have to worry. Young Master Luo, I'll leave everything to you."
With that, Gu Jin bowed deeply to Luo Yu, put his arm around Madam Ji with one hand, and helped the old lady out with the other.
Watching his family disappear, Luo Yu gave a bitter smile.
