Chapter 156 Wait for me to come back, you must wait for me
Zhao Mingzhu knew that it was useless for her to say anything now, as Gu Yu couldn't hear her.
She took Gu Yu's hand and said word by word: Wait for me to come back, you must wait for me.
"Gu Yu has to wait for me."
Gu Yu held her hand and shook his head: "I am already beyond help. You don't need to find a doctor to see me anymore."
Feicui came over at this time and said after some hesitation, "Crown Princess, the princess's poison is called Red Beauty Withering. Over the years, His Royal Highness has consulted many famous doctors, but they all said that they could only find medicine to temporarily delay the onset of the disease, but there is no antidote."
Zhao Mingzhu's face was already red from tears. She wiped her face after hearing this and asked, "Did someone else poison me?"
Jade nodded. "Yes, it was the rebels. They poisoned His Highness and the Princess. At the time, His Highness was imprisoned, and for safety, the rebels had the Princess deliver food herself and also made her take the poison."
The withering of beauty does not kill people instantly, but it erodes people’s vitality over time.
Gu Yu seemed to notice that Zhao Mingzhu had not spoken, so she continued:
"You don't have to think about seeking medical help. My brother consulted so many famous doctors but none of them could help him cure the poison."
She seemed to think of Bo Ling and emphasized, "Bo Ling can't solve it either."
Feicui immediately said, "Crown Princess, I think we can ask the third place winner to take a look. What if?"
"But the princess even went to the Crown Prince and told him not to look for Bo Ling, or she would sever their sibling relationship."
Feicui sighed and didn't understand why Gu Yu was unwilling to give it a try, but Zhao Mingzhu vaguely knew what Gu Yu was thinking.
Gu Yu has long wanted to stop living.
She had been waiting for this day.
Before this, she tried her best to live a colorful life, using the noisy heat to cover up the original coldness of life.
But Zhao Mingzhu couldn't bear to see her die like this, so she took Gu Yu's hand again:
"wait for me."
No matter how Gu Yu called her from behind, she never looked back.
Gu Yu said more to Zhao Mingzhu than he had in the past three days. She covered her chest and coughed.
It was so earth-shaking that it felt as if my chest was about to be torn apart.
"Zhao Mingzhu, I'm about to die. Why don't you stay a little longer? Come back and see my body later." She said jokingly and lay down.
She tried hard to look at the jade in front of her, but all she saw was a shadow, and she couldn't see clearly.
"Jadeite, go get that box. I want to touch it again."
That was the gift Zhao Mingzhu brought back from Chuncheng. She had opened it and looked at it before she realized she was blind. Now that Zhao Mingzhu came today, she wanted to touch it again.
Feicui dragged the box over and placed Gu Yu's hand on the first hourglass.
Gu Yu whispered, "With such bad luck, the first thing you get is that disgusting sea worm hourglass?
It is cut from extremely fine gold wire and looks like a worm as it wriggles and falls in the hourglass.
Feicui shook her hand to indicate yes, and her eyes fell on the hourglass, and her lips twitched. She wondered where the Crown Princess had found this hourglass.
Gu Yu put it down and touched the first large conch again: "I quite like this conch, it's snow-white and beautiful, and it reminds me of a white sand beach."
Feicui placed a crab-shaped hairpin in her palm. Gu Yu thought for a moment and then fumbled to insert it into her hair.
At the end of the silver hairpin is a emerald crab the size of a fingernail, with its two claws made into trembling branches, which is very cute.
"Just give her some face. I wouldn't even look at this kind of stuff before."
…
Feicui placed the last amulet in her palm, and Gu Yu sighed softly:
"Amulet, this is the first time someone has asked for one for me."
It’s a pity that her body cannot be cured by just a talisman.
Gu Yu felt a little tired. She slowly leaned back and lay down: "Zhao Mingzhu is here, I actually forgot that I was cold..."
"Fei Cui, if I die, you will go and follow Zhao Mingzhu. She will treat you well for my sake."
Jade shook her head: "If anything happens to the princess, I will go to keep vigil for you."
Gu Yu has always liked being in a lively environment and is afraid of being alone.
Otherwise, Princess Jingning took away all her friends, but Gu Yu still kept trying to find friends of her own.
Gu Yu sank into the quilt, feeling as if her body had become lighter. She whispered:
"Also, tell Mingzhu not to tell Anzi that she's getting married tomorrow..."
…
Outside the East Palace, Zhao Mingzhu was stopped at the door. The leader of the Imperial Guards said:
"Princess Consort, His Majesty has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
Zhao Mingzhu did not retreat but advanced. The opponent drew his sword and she offered her neck to him.
"If you have the guts, then wipe my neck, or I'll have to go in today!"
She took a step closer, and the guard stepped back: "Princess, please don't embarrass me."
Zhao Mingzhu was too lazy to say anything more and was about to force her way in. Gu Qingheng appeared behind the door.
"Pearl."
Zhao Mingzhu pushed the guard aside and rushed to Gu Qingheng: "Did you know about Gu Yu's situation a long time ago?"
Gu Qingheng nodded.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at her in disbelief: "Are you just going to watch her die like this?"
Regarding this matter, Gu Qingheng's expression was calm: "Mingzhu, this is her choice. I have no right to interfere."
Zhao Mingzhu remembered that Gu Yu wanted to die. She took a deep breath and said, "No, I must intervene and call Bo Ling out."
Gu Qingheng looked at her stubborn face and sighed softly: "Changhe, go get Bo Ling."
Bo Ling was confused as he followed Chang He out: "Crown Princess, are you here to visit me?"
Zhao Mingzhu: ...
"Tan your sister, Gu Yu is still waiting for you, don't say anything and follow me!"
Zhao Mingzhu pulled him and ran away. The guards around them were about to come up to stop the two of them, but suddenly the leader of the guards waved his hand and said, "Back off."
That is His Majesty's carriage.
Zhao Mingzhu didn't care about that and ran away with Bo Ling.
Gu Qingheng looked at the bright yellow carriage. The father and son looked at each other from a distance, and Gu Qingheng smiled gently.
Emperor Jingyuan looked at his son with a complicated expression. He seemed to have never understood what his son was trying to do.
He showed no reaction even when imprisoned.
In Shoukang Palace, Gu Yan accompanied the old queen mother for dinner. She scooped a spoonful of soup:
"Grandmother, please try it."
The old queen held up her forehead and said, "I have no appetite."
But Gu Yan brought the ginseng soup to her mouth and said, "Grandmother, your breakfast is useless. It makes Yan'er feel uncomfortable."
"If you don't want to eat, then Yan'er will go along with you."
The old empress dowager looked at her and sighed, "Yan'er, you have always been a well-behaved child... I don't know where Zhaohua is now. The emperor went to ask Heng'er."
Gu Yan smiled, thinking in her heart, what a rare family relationship.
I only found out when my daughter and granddaughter were dying.
If Gu Yu was already a corpse when Emperor Jingyuan went to look for him... Gu Yan thought as she prepared the ginseng soup, that scene would be really interesting.
"Yan'er, I know that Heng'er killed Xun'er, so you must be upset. But I still hope you can persuade the emperor not to depose the crown prince so easily."
How can a child of a royal family be closer than one's own bloodline?
The children of the royal family were most likely to worship their own relatives, not her and the emperor.
"Okay, don't worry, Grandmother, Yan'er will."
Gu Yan thought that there were no men of marriageable age in the royal family, and those few children... If Emperor Jingyuan suddenly died one day, she could set up a puppet prince and become the regent princess...
…
When Gu Yu was dying, his hand was held and then completely wrapped in the palm of his hand.
As if he had sensed the person coming, Gu Yu's eyelashes twitched, but his eyelids were too heavy to open.
Bo Ling stared at Gu Yu lying on the bed and whispered, "Princess, it's me, Bo Ling."
His eyes were red. How could his princess suddenly become so sick?
It was his fault that he didn't notice Gu Yu's strange behavior in the past.
Gu Yu no longer had the strength to speak, and Zhao Mingzhu was extremely anxious watching him.
"Bo Ling, we can talk about the past later. Let's find a way to cure her first."
Bo Ling was awakened by these words. He wiped the corners of his eyes and then took Gu Yu's pulse.
"how's it going?"
Zhao Mingzhu didn't want to rush the other party, but seeing that Gu Yu was barely breathing, she couldn't help but keep asking.
Bo Ling's face was heavy: "It's a very powerful poison..."
"Is there a solution? You always brag about your medical skills as if they were god-like. Don't tell me you can't do it?!"
Zhao Mingzhu raised her voice, but was afraid of startling Gu Yu so she stopped talking. She smiled bitterly:
"Bo Ling, I place all my hopes on you."
At this moment, she really wished that she was as capable as those seniors who had traveled through books before. It would be great if she had the medical skills to revive the dead and turn bones into flesh.
Bo Ling stood up and touched Gu Yu's cheek: "Crown Princess, I really can't cure this poison..."
The expectation in Zhao Mingzhu's eyes was shattered, and only at this moment did she feel the biting cold. Could it be that she could only watch Gu Yu die?
Zhao Mingzhu felt dizzy and dazed, while Feicui beside her had already burst into tears:
"Princess……"
Bo Ling noticed that Gu Yu's little finger moved in his palm, and suddenly a forgotten method arose in his heart.
"Crown Princess, I have another idea." Bo Ling turned around, suppressing his excitement, and then instructed Feicui:
"Go get a basin of hot water and prepare the dagger and bring it over."
"yes."
"What method?" Zhao Mingzhu asked anxiously.
Bo Ling lifted his sleeves and pressed his pulse to feel something. He said:
"In our Miaojiang tribe, there's a Mandarin Duck Gu that lives in our bodies since childhood. It can save my life in times of crisis. But its greatest function is to connect my life with that of others, allowing us to share life. In other words, as long as one person is alive, the other will not die."
Bo Ling turned around and looked at Gu Yu: "Although I promised my mother that I would never use her, I never listened to her..."
The Mandarin Duck Gu is actually mostly used by couples.
But there are many conflicts between couples in this world, and it is not easy for them to stay together until the end.
Even if they can stay together forever, what if the other person dies at the right age...
So even if the Miao people have this Gu, their own people will not really use it.
Jade was very quick in execution and she came back with these two things very quickly.
"Princess, after you cut your wrists, the poison will mix with your blood and only then will it survive. You must make sure that the princess drinks it all, without leaving a single drop."
As Bo Ling spoke, he took out a dagger and cut a wound, and blood flowed out continuously.
Zhao Mingzhu straightened Gu Yu's head, not daring to blink, as time passed by minute by minute.
Bo Ling frowned, felt upwards along his pulse, and finally stopped at his heart.
The Gu must have already entered Gu Yu's body.
But to be on the safe side, he continued to bleed for a while.
When he had bandaged it and put down his sleeves, Feicui said cautiously:
"Is it really working? Why hasn't our princess woken up yet..."
Bo Ling looked at Gu Yu, who hadn't changed at all. He said softly, "If it's useless, then it's useless."
This was the only method he could think of.
"Bo Ling, if it was Gu Yu... would you be able to do it too?" Zhao Mingzhu asked hesitantly.
Bo Ling nodded: "Of course, as long as this Gu enters her body, it will be shared with me."
If Gu Yu can't survive, he will die with him.
But regarding this, Bo Ling shrugged and said, "This mandarin duck poison is quite good. It won't be painful when you die. Thinking about the princess and I being a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, it's quite good."
He has liked Gu Yu for many, many years, so much so that he is willing to give everything for Gu Yu, even his life.
The rain outside has turned into a drizzle, the forest is extremely fresh, and occasionally you can hear the kingfisher singing.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at Gu Yu lying on the bed, and then at Bo Ling.
Zhao Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Bo Ling was not dead.
At this time, Gu Yu opened her eyelids, blinked, and found that she could see.
"Bo Ling?"
When Bo Ling saw her wake up, his eyes lit up and he came over obediently: "Princess, it's me!"
Zhao Mingzhu also walked over, crying and laughing, and reached out to gently hit her shoulder.
"What's wrong with you? You scared us to death!"
Gu Yu found that her hands and feet had regained strength. She slowly sat up and asked the two, "What did you do?"
She knew her body well, and she could already sense that she was on the verge of death.
Now I can not only see, but also hear.
Zhao Mingzhu told her about the poison that Bo Ling used.
After hearing this, Gu Yu coughed twice and looked at Bo Ling.
"Why bother... don't you really regret it?"
Bo Ling shook his head firmly: "No regrets."
After a long time, Gu Yu said softly:
"It seems that you and I must be husband and wife."
Bo Ling thought she would be angry at his presumptuous decision, but he didn't expect Gu Yu to say that she wanted to be his wife!
This was like a pie in the sky, knocking Bo Ling unconscious. He was incoherent:
"Fake or real...Princess, are you really willing?"
Gu Yu raised the corner of his lips: "Yeah."
Over the years, death has always been the day she has been looking forward to. Death will put an end to all worries and resolve the huge burden on her heart.
But when Zhao Mingzhu came, Gu Yu couldn't help but miss the days with them.
Warm and happy, like bathing in sunshine.
Zhao Mingzhu felt relieved when she saw Gu Yu and Bo Ling hugging each other.
"Come on, you two, if you want to be affectionate, wait until I'm gone. How can you do that in broad daylight?"
She looked back outside and said, "I'm going back to the capital first."
Shuangyun's Funeral Ceremony...
Gu Yu looked at her expression, and Bo Ling secretly shook his head to signal her not to ask.
So she said, "Be careful on the road."
Outside the capital, Changshu, Qiao'er and others brought Shuangyun to the river. Flowers were tied around the raft, and Shuangyun was lying in it wearing her favorite dress and jewelry.
When Zhao Mingzhu rushed back, Changhe silently pushed the raft into the river, and Qiaoer threw herself into her arms.
"Miss, why did it have to be Shuangyun?"
How could God be so cruel to take her away?
Zhao Mingzhu patted her shoulder, then walked over to the raft and tidied Shuangyun's hair.
"Teacher, I will definitely study the music you left behind carefully."
The nanny said that Shuangyun always wanted to be the Crown Princess's teacher.
Everyone watched Shuangyun's body drift away along the river, and Jinzhu leaned against Yinzhu and cried.
Yinzhu, who always had a blank expression on her face, lowered her head and wiped away her tears.
Shuangyun was like a sister to them, and no one had expected that the day of separation would come so soon.
When the raft disappeared, Changshu said to Zhao Mingzhu, "Crown Princess, please allow me to return to the East Palace."
Changhe said that His Highness already knew who gave Su Lu the poison. Su Lu was dead, but that person was still alive.
He must watch the other person die with his own eyes.
