Chapter 645, Grandmother's Love
After the Lantern Festival, Old Lady Yan also came to Taohua An to help Daohua take care of Grandma Gu.
"Old sister, you have to relax. Master Gu will be back in a few days. With Ye Yang by his side, he will be fine." Old Mrs. Yan comforted the increasingly thin Grandma Gu over and over again.
Granny Gu always smiled and nodded, but the worry between her brows was always there.
When Daohua saw this, she was filled with anxiety and helplessness. She had tried several prescriptions, but her mother-in-law's condition did not improve at all.
"She's worried. Unless your master comes back, she'll continue to worry."
After hearing what Old Lady Yan said, Daohua asked Wang Maner to go back to Ningmen Mansion and write another letter to Xiao Yeyang.
Caiju and Dongli also secretly wrote letters to the capital every now and then.
As everyone was eagerly anticipating, Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang finally returned on the first day of February.
"Sister, I'm back!"
As soon as he came back, Gu Jian rushed to Grandma Gu's bedside. Looking at his sister who was so thin that she looked unrecognizable, his heart ached.
When Granny Gu saw Gu Jian, her eyes lit up. Her usually weak hands suddenly burst out with great strength and she grabbed Gu Jian tightly: "Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu"
Gu Jian quickly said: "Don't worry, he's fine, he's fine now."
Hearing this, the worry that had gathered between Granny Gu's brows for more than a month disappeared immediately. Then everyone looked at her and smiled from the bottom of their hearts, saying, "As long as he's okay, it's good."
As he spoke, he began to cough violently again.
When Gu Jian saw this, he quickly helped her up and patted her back to help her calm down.
"Puff~"
Bright red blood spurted out of Grandma Gu's mouth, severely irritating Gu Jian's eyes.
Seeing the master's face full of disbelief, Daohua quickly took Grandma Gu from his hands, pressed a few acupoints quickly, and stopped Grandma Gu's cough.
Grandma Gu's breathing calmed down, and her eyes swept over Xiao Yeyang who was standing beside her, and she couldn't help but reach out to him.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang hurried forward and held Granny Gu's hand, saying with concern: "Granny, we are back."
Granny Gu smiled and nodded, with satisfaction in her eyes: "Okay."
Perhaps because the worry that had been on her mind was resolved, Grandma Gu's expression gradually relaxed, and after a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Daohua carefully helped the person lie down.
At this time, Gu Jian had recovered from the pain just now. He quickly walked forward to check on Granny Gu's condition. After taking her pulse, his face turned pale and he murmured, "How could this happen?"
Daohua's face was full of self-blame: "Master, it's my fault for not taking good care of grandma."
Gu Jian shook his head: "It has nothing to do with you." Then he closed his eyes in pain. After a while, he opened his eyes and waved his hand, saying, "You guys go down. I want to accompany my sister."
Hearing this, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang looked at each other and silently left the house.
After leaving the room, Daohua pulled Xiao Yeyang aside and asked, "There are so many imperial doctors in the capital, why did you call the master away?" If the master had not left, the mother-in-law would not be like this.
Xiao Yeyang felt very guilty in his heart: "I never thought of letting Master Gu go to the capital." It was the emperor's uncle who specifically asked Master Gu to go to the capital.
Daohua was stunned for a moment: "Then why did you bring Master to Beijing?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and said, "I can't talk about this right now."
Daohua looked at him and said, "Do you know that as soon as you left, my mother-in-law fell ill. I tried everything but couldn't stabilize her condition."
Seeing Daohua's tired and anxious face, Xiao Yeyang reached out and held her shoulders, saying seriously: "Don't worry, Master Gu is back now, and mother-in-law will be fine."
Daohua looked uncertain: "Will grandma be okay?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded affirmatively: "I definitely will."
Daohua sighed. After following her master for the past two years, her medical skills had made some progress. However, she was not so optimistic about Grandma Gu's illness.
Afterwards, Daohua went to boil medicine, and Xiao Yeyang asked Defu to call Caiju and Dongli to the pavilion outside the yard.
Xiao Yeyang sat on the stone bench with an expressionless face, looking at Caiju and Dongli who were kneeling on the ground with his eyes slightly narrowed. He did not say anything and silently waited for the results of the secret guard's investigation.
Caiju and Dongli knelt tremblingly. At first, they were both calm, but when they saw the secret guard coming with their identity tokens, their faces changed drastically.
"Master, this was found in the flower garden in the backyard. The two rooms are very clean."
The secret guard placed the token on the stone table and then quietly retreated.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the token, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink: "Are you the emperor's uncle's secret guards?"
Caiju and Dongli lowered their heads and said nothing, which was considered as their agreement.
Xiao Yeyang asked again: "Why did the Emperor's uncle send you here?"
Caiju and Dongli still didn't speak.
Xiao Yeyang's face turned cold, and his voice became deep: "Why, do you think that because you are the emperor's uncle's people, I can't do anything to you?"
Dong Li hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yeyang: "Young Prince, we will never tell you what the master has told us to do, even if we die. If you really want to know the truth, you can go and ask the master."
Xiao Yeyang's eyes suddenly narrowed.
The emperor's uncle even sent his own secret guards over, which shows that he values Granny Gu and Master Gu very much.
When thinking about the fact that his uncle was poisoned this time, and that his uncle did not trust the imperial physician but trusted Master Gu without reservation, Xiao Yeyang suddenly had an intuition that he seemed to have touched upon something secret.
The last time he learned that the emperor's uncle had come to Taohua An again, he sent people to investigate Granny Gu and Master Gu. Unfortunately, their pasts were too clean and he found nothing.
The burns on Granny Gu's face and Master Gu's superb medical and martial arts skills, no matter how you look at it, the two of them are not ordinary people.
Not having any past is abnormal in itself, and it also indirectly confirms that someone has erased their past.
Now it seems that it was done by the emperor's uncle.
Granny Gu and Master Gu were so kind to her, but Granny Gu's old illness relapsed because she was worried about her uncle.
Pictures kept appearing in Xiao Yeyang's mind, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.
What is the relationship between Granny Gu and Master Gu and the royal family?
After sleeping for more than an hour, Granny Gu woke up. Seeing her brother standing beside the bed with a sad face, Granny Gu smiled and said, "It's hard for you to worry about me for so many years. From now on, you can relax a little."
She knows her own body well. More than a month of suffering has already exhausted her.
Gu Jian's eyes instantly turned red.
Grandma Gu quickly comforted her, "Don't cry. You are already an adult. Be careful that Yeyang and Daohua see you and laugh at you." As she said that, she smiled.
"I shouldn't have been in this world two or three years ago. Fortunately, God had mercy on us and let us meet Daohua. Because of her, we met Yeyang and Xiaowu."
"I am content."
As he spoke, he took a breath.
"I don't have anything to worry about. The only things that worry me are Yeyang and Daohua."
"Xiaojiu, Yeyang can no longer be relied upon. Xiaowu, he is the emperor. The emperor is the most unpredictable and fickle person in the world. I cannot rest assured."
Gu Jian held his sister's hand tightly: "I will protect them."
Granny Gu shook her head and began to grope around on the pillow.
Gu Jian quickly stood up: "Sister, what are you looking for?"
Granny Gu said with some difficulty: "Jade pendant."
Gu Jian helped search for a while and soon found a dragon-shaped jade pendant from under the pillow.
Granny Gu: "This is Xiaowu's personal jade pendant. Take it and go help Yeyang to propose marriage." After saying this, she was so tired that she began to breathe heavily.
Gu Jian quickly said, "Okay, I'll go find Daohua's grandmother later."
Grandma Gu smiled, and after a while, closed her eyes again.
