Chapter 465 The Truth
Originally, Doctor Bai’s mission was to “rush to the capital on horseback to treat the Regent’s injuries.”
He looked at Xixi as if he was worried about someone.
Due to the principle of confidentiality, he could not reveal the details.
Then he suddenly had an idea and told the patient the truth that he knew the patient's life was not in danger.
In this way, no matter who Gu Xixi was reminded of because of Doctor Bai's visit, this news would comfort her.
Doctor Bai accepted Gu Xixi's exclusive prescription as a small token of his return.
When leaving the family village, Doctor Bai felt very pleased for having done a good deed.
Until just now, he came back from treating the Regent's injuries for the first time.
Just from a few unintentional words from the servant, I suddenly got an epiphany!
Regent, Announcement to the World, Gu's Daughter, Acquaintance in the Northwest, Boss Gu...
All the long-known clues were connected at this moment.
Doctor Bai discovered the truth and paced back and forth excitedly.
I see!
It’s actually like this!
So the person that Boss Gu is worried about is really the Regent!
In the inner courtyard, the lights were on brightly behind the green gauze windows, and the aroma of meat and wine wafted out.
However, He Jinghui was the only one eating heartily at the table.
"The taste of this aged Autumn Dew White is truly soul-stirring."
"You can't drink alcohol since you are recovering from your injury, so I will reluctantly help you drink a few more glasses."
"And this roasted goose, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with rich and sweet gravy, and golden minced meat and fish, so fresh that it seems to dance on your tongue..."
"What a pity, I am the only one who can enjoy it."
Mu Nanzhao was half leaning and half lying lazily on the Xiangfei bamboo couch by the window, but his eyes showed great displeasure.
"He Jinghui, if you want to die, just say so."
He Jinghui held the wine glass and glanced at him coldly, "I believe that even if you lose one leg, I will not be your opponent in a fight."
Mu Nanzhao raised his eyebrows. "From what I hear, it sounds like you wish I would never stand up in my life?"
He Jinghui put down his wine glass heavily and turned to face Mu Nanzhao.
"I wish I could?"
"It's obviously the prince who doesn't take his life seriously!"
Mu Nanzhao closed his eyes and sighed with a headache, "I've kept you feeling depressed for the past few days, and you're still going to be nagging me."
He Jinghui chuckled, but he was laughing out of anger.
"I'm long-winded?!"
"Mu Nanzhao! This time you are not just injured in an ordinary way. Your lower leg is broken! Your shoulder was also pierced by a poisonous arrow!"
"Others are betting on family honor, wealth and power, but you are betting on your life!"
…
Mu Nanzhao knew very well that He Jinghui was scared to death by him this time.
Thinking that there are still many things that need to be left to this guy to do, he must be allowed to vent his anger.
So, Mu Nanzhao reluctantly endured it and let He Jinghui say whatever he wanted.
Until I heard: "If you don't take good care of yourself and become a cripple in the future, Gu Xixi will definitely turn around and divorce you!"
Mu Nanzhao's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth, "He, Jing, Hui!"
He Jinghui stopped, looked at Mu Nanzhao, and smiled, "Are you anxious?"
"Pretending not to fight back when you're hit or scolded is too much of a stretch for you. It's not suitable for you."
Mu Nanzhao snorted coldly, "Then you are suitable?"
"I am indeed suitable," He Jinghui spread his hands innocently.
"Who among the civil and military officials in the court does not praise me, Minister He, for being approachable, lively and amiable?"
Mu Nanzhao did not comment, but looked at He Jinghui with a complicated look.
Minister He's style of doing things is indeed completely different from that of the Regent.
He loves to attend banquets and get along well with his colleagues.
Even when he was making his enemies suffer a fate worse than death, he was smiling.
Although one of them is a cold-faced dragon and the other is a smiling tiger.
But when it comes to popularity, at least on the surface, He Jinghui is often surrounded by beautiful women, and is indeed much better than Mu Nanzhao.
He Jinghui vented his anger, and it worked.
He sat down and calmed down a lot.
"His Majesty was assassinated. With your skills and riding ability, even if you couldn't avoid the poison arrow to save His Majesty, you wouldn't break your leg."
The two have supported each other for many years, and He Jinghui is the person who knows Mu Nanzhao best.
Mu Nanzhao glanced at him and did not deny it. "The emperor will never fully trust a minister."
"I want His Majesty to trust me more, but at the same time I owe him one more debt."
He Jinghui understood, "Your Majesty has agreed to the marriage with Beili."
"And Huo Jiang mentioned in his memorial that the Rouran princess has chosen the Regent Prince of Daye as her husband, but His Majesty has not yet made a clear statement."
"Although you now have the confidence to refuse the marriage, you can also serve as a shield for Gu Xixi to announce it to the world."
"But you have to wait until His Majesty asks for your opinion in person. If you refuse then, it will easily alienate the emperor and his subjects."
"So to be absolutely sure, it would be best if Your Majesty could not speak."
Mu Nanzhao looked pale and truly weak.
He smiled faintly and said, "It's a rare opportunity that comes to my doorstep, so I should act more realistically."
"Otherwise, if it's exposed, it won't be worth it."
The emperor was stabbed and his horse was startled. Mu Nanzhao rode his horse straight after him and flew to save the emperor. When they fell to the ground together, Mu Nanzhao deliberately hit his calf on the edge of a stone.
The leg bones broke naturally due to the gravity of the fall.
Mu Nanzhao fainted due to the severe pain of broken bones when he saw the Jinwu Guards arriving.
The emperor was safe and sound, and immediately ordered someone to send the regent back to his tent and ask the imperial physician to treat him.
Except for a few assassins who committed suicide, all the others were captured alive.
As for why Huo Jiang specially sent Doctor Bai to Beijing.
It's just because I'm worried that Mu Nanzhao was seriously injured this time and might have some sequelae.
Therefore, Doctor Bai, who has the most experience in treating various injuries, had to take a look in person to make sure that there was nothing wrong.
He Jinghui sighed, "Fortunately, the imperial physician and Doctor Bai both said that as long as you continue to rest your legs, you won't become lame."
He looked at Mu Nanzhao and teased, "If I were Boss Gu, I would be so moved that I would cry bitterly if I knew that you were loyal to Boss Gu and only him in your life in order not to be defiled by Princess Beili, and you were willing to endure the pain of breaking your leg for this."
Mu Nanzhao looked at He Jinghui and moved his thin lips, "Get lost."
Joking aside, after He Jinghui finished laughing, he thought that Mu Nanzhao’s suffering should not be in vain.
My sister has always been Boss Gu’s informant in Beijing.
I should also give Jinglan a hint tonight that after such a long time, it's time to write a letter to her good sister.
Northwest Frontier.
At the west end of the dependents' village, Aunt Lin and others were surrounding a carriage to say goodbye.
"You've only been pregnant for ten days, so it's still a long time before you can leave the confinement period. Be careful on the road! Wear a hat, lie down in the car as much as possible, and don't get caught in the wind!"
It turned out that Yina was going back to Beili.
She came in a carriage, so as soon as she recovered some strength, she decided to leave.
Gu Xixi was also among the crowd seeing him off.
Yina expressed her gratitude to everyone again and finally walked up to Gu Xixi.
She gave Gu Xixi a scimitar and said, "Thank you. Meeting you is the guidance of God."
Gu Xixi understood Yina’s firm attitude, and after hesitating for a moment, she still took it.
"I will treasure it well."
Yina suddenly leaned close to Gu Xixi's ear and said a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
