Shen Ningsi didn't act pretentiously with Gu Hong at this moment.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Gu Hong's anger suddenly rose. He didn't expect Shen Ningsi to be so polite to him!
It's obvious that you don't consider him as your own!
However, thinking that she was not feeling well, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
What's more, Fan Xing was watching from the side.
"Okay, go back to your room and have a good rest. I'll go take care of the people coming from the capital first."
Shen Ningsi did not insist and nodded.
Her current abdominal pain is indeed not suitable for attending such an important occasion.
Gu Hong helped her to the bed and found that Fan Xing had not left yet. His face couldn't help but fall again.
"Master Fan, shouldn't we go and entertain the angels from the capital? Aren't you afraid of neglecting them by staying here?"
"I just saw that Madam Gu looked a little unhappy, so I wanted to ask."
"Go, go, go, what are you concerned about? My wife can take care of herself!"
The expression on Gu Hong's face became even colder.
"Fan Xing, do you want me to put you in a sack and throw you back to the capital? Why the hell do I find you becoming more and more of an eyesore?"
Fan Xing suddenly looked at Gu Hong with a gloomy face, and felt a chill down his spine.
"Oh, I suddenly thought of something that I need to deal with urgently, so I'll leave first!"
Fan Xing knew that if he continued to stay, Gu Hong would definitely do what he said!
Watching Fan Xing leave, the expression on Gu Hong's face finally relaxed.
Shen Ningsi saw the interaction between the two of them, but at the moment she was in unbearable stomach pain and was in no mood to pay attention to them. Anyway, they were often like this, so there was no need for her to worry about it.
Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation in her abdomen.
Gu Hong's hand had been placed on her belly at some point.
"I'll massage you for a while, then I'll ask a doctor to check you out, and then I'll get some substantial benefits for you. Just wait here for my good news!"
Shen Ningsi originally wanted to refuse, but the pain in her abdomen was indeed not as uncomfortable as it was at the beginning, so she closed her eyes and acquiesced to it.
But my heart was beating fast.
After a while, Gu Hong noticed that the expression on Shen Ningsi's face had eased a lot.
"I'll find a doctor for you."
After saying that, he reluctantly withdrew his hand and left quickly.
Looking at his back, Shen Ningsi didn't know why, but felt a lot more at ease.
As soon as Gu Hong came out, he saw Sanyazi walking back and forth outside the door.
"General, the angel from the capital who came to announce the decree has been taken away by Fan Xing!"
When he saw Gu Hongcai coming out, Sanyazi became anxious!
"That Fan Xing has a shifty look in his eyes, he definitely has no good intentions! I just saw the pained look on Madam's face, so I didn't dare to go in and disturb you for a while!"
"Damn it, this Fan Xing has so many tricks up his sleeve. Just now in the room he was saying something urgent that needed to be dealt with, but it turns out he was waiting for me here!"
Gu Hong did not stop moving and quickly caught up.
"General, wait for me! If Fan Xing dares to say anything in front of the angels, I, San Yazi, will be the first to not let him go!"
"Go and find a doctor for Madam!" Gu Hong said hurriedly.
After a while, Gu Hong saw Fan Xing standing with the angel, chatting and laughing.
Although Gu Hong had not been back in the capital for long, he recognized that the eunuch in front of Fan Xing was the most capable person around the emperor.
"Master Fan, I didn't expect you to be the first to come and greet the angel."
Gu Hong talked about his past with a forced smile, and there was a hint of rage in his eyes.
However, he restrained himself.
"I just arrived one step earlier than you, General Gu."
Fan Xing immediately noticed the coldness in Gu Hong's eyes, and felt something was wrong.
The expression on his face also became extremely cautious.
At this critical moment, we must not offend Gu Shacai in front of us!
"Oh my, I didn't expect that I would have the honor to meet General Gu here today!"
When the eunuch who came to announce the imperial edict saw Gu Hong, his eyes lit up instantly.
No matter which dynasty, even the emperor would be wary of those who held military power.
"Eunuch Tian, I didn't expect that His Majesty would be willing to send you down to read the imperial edict this time!"
There was also a strange light in Gu Hong's eyes.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this old emperor to be so cunning. Not only does he not want to give Shen Si Ning any real benefits, but he also wants to send his confidants to find out what's going on here!"
"The old emperor has achieved what he has, which shows that he knows how to use people wisely!"
Gu Hong and Fan Xing exchanged glances for a while.
"I begged the Emperor for this job. After all, Shen Si Ning is incredibly famous right now. After I read the imperial edict this time, I can tell the other masters in the palace about it and hopefully get some more rewards."
Eunuch Tian spoke half-truthfully.
Gu Hong didn't expose him either.
It is better to avoid offending such eunuchs if possible, so as to avoid them making things difficult for you behind your back.
Gu Hong looks careless, but he is not stupid!
"Eunuch Tian, you are a very popular person around the emperor. I think the emperor will be relieved to entrust this task to you."
Fan Xing immediately took over.
If he had known earlier, he would not have gotten involved in this matter. Now he is caught between Gu Shacai and this eunuch, but now that things have come to this, he can only bite the bullet and continue talking.
"Master Fan, you are truly embarrassing me by saying this. I have only gained a little trust from the Emperor."
It is said that a half-king is like a half-tiger. He came out of the palace and took a breath of fresh air. After completing this task, the emperor will also reward him when he returns. It can be said that he has the best of both worlds!
"Eunuch Tian, I wonder where the fiefdom His Majesty has given my wife this time?"
Gu Hong asked curiously.
When Eunuch Tian heard what he said, he was stunned.
This time, the emperor did not grant Shen Ningsi any fiefdom. All the officials in the capital knew about it, and Gu Hong should have known about it as well.
Now that he was asked this question, he didn't know how to respond.
"Hehe... General Gu, how can we servants guess what the emperor is thinking? But the imperial edict doesn't seem to mention giving Shen Ningsi a fiefdom."
When Eunuch Tian spoke the last few words, his tone was not as sharp as at the beginning.
"Oh? Doesn't the emperor know how much practical work Shen Ningsi has done for the people this time? Or are there some people who deceived the emperor and wanted to deceive him, and did not report the truth!"
