No one knows what method Gu Lin used, but Deng Yu really found Mei Chu's head.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Your Majesty, this Doctor Mei is highly skilled, but he only practices in villages on the outskirts of the capital, and he only charges one tael of silver per consultation."
Hearing Deng Yu's words, Gu Heng couldn't help but cough again, "Only one tael of silver?"
A country doctor who only charges one or two taels of silver can tell where a man is sick.
Seeing that Gu Heng was somewhat skeptical, Deng Yu spoke again, "I have asked in all the villages where Doctor Mei makes house calls, and Doctor Mei can cure all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases."
"Then bring him into the palace to have a look."
Gu Heng's head started to ache again, and he couldn't help but sweep everything on the table onto the floor. "A bunch of good-for-nothings from the Imperial Hospital, they still can't cure me after all this time!"
Three days later, Mei Chu followed Deng Yu into the palace, and behind Mei Chu was a silent Gu Lin.
"This is the boy who grinds medicine for me. Let him wait for me outside the hall."
Mei Chu and Gu Lin exchanged a glance before stepping into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Upon seeing Gu Heng for the first time, Mei Chu's eyes narrowed sharply; Gu Heng's complexion was an unnaturally yellow.
"This humble subject is taking the Emperor's pulse."
Mei Chu placed her fingertips on Gu Heng's pulse, once... twice... Even Mei Chu, who had witnessed countless murder scenes, couldn't help but tremble.
"How is my health?"
"Does Your Majesty often feel weak all over and have a tightness in your chest?" Mei Chu accurately described Gu Heng's symptoms, and Gu Heng couldn't help but sit up straight. "Yes, that's right."
"Your Majesty's health is depleted and he needs a great tonic."
"A great tonic?" Gu Heng was somewhat puzzled.
“Your Majesty needs to reduce his workload, calm his mind, and then nourish himself with proper nutrition,” Mei Chu said without changing his expression. “Your Majesty’s condition is actually caused by overwork.”
Perhaps because Mei Chu described the symptoms so accurately, Gu Heng believed Mei Chu's explanation.
Outside the hall, Cen Hai's apprentice rushed over in a hurry. Upon seeing this, Cen Hai angrily rebuked him, "What kind of place is this? What kind of behavior is this, rushing around like this?"
"Master, Her Majesty the Empress is not feeling well. Eunuch Wan has already gone to fetch the imperial physician."
"What? Your Highness is not feeling well?"
Just then, Mei Chu finished his consultation, and Cen Hai told Gu Heng about Jiang Yu's discomfort. Upon hearing this, Gu Heng waved his hand and said, "Perfect timing! Please ask Doctor Mei to go to Zhaoning Palace to examine the Empress."
"Don't count on that bunch of useless people from the Imperial Medical Academy."
"This humble subject obeys the decree."
Mei Chu slowly walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, leading Gu Lin towards the Zhaoning Palace.
......
The gates of Zhaoning Palace slowly closed, and a smile finally appeared on Gu Lin's face.
"How is Gu Heng's health?"
Wanji and Granny Ling dismissed the crowd, leaving Jiang Yu and Gu Lin alone.
"Madam, Gu Heng has been poisoned by a slow-acting poison from the Di Kingdom. It will take anywhere from three years to six months for him to become weak and bedridden, left only to wait for death in despair."
"Does the Di Kingdom have such a poison?" Jiang Yu was somewhat terrified.
“Because of the Di Kingdom shaman, I studied all the Di Kingdom’s poisons and was only able to identify them today.” Mei Chu’s eyes turned cold. “The more you supplement, the better your complexion will be, and the greater the internal deficiency will become.”
"I understand."
[Gu Qingling really didn't hold back, taking advantage of Gu Heng's complete lack of vigilance to give him such poison.]
After Mei Chu finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Lin and Jiang Yu without leaving a trace, and then silently retreated.
"In the letter, I only said to let Mei Chu enter the palace," Jiang Yu said irritably, and personally brewed a cup of tea for Gu Lin.
"Didn't I reply that I would personally bring Mei Chu in?"
After not seeing each other for a while, Gu Lin stared intently at Jiang Yu.
"What makes you think you, the ruler of Ningguo, should spend all your time in the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence?"
Gu Linyuan was far more shameless than Jiang Yu had imagined. "There will naturally be someone to take care of Da Ning's affairs. My top priority right now is to focus on you."
"Revolve around me?"
Jiang Yu twitched her lips. "You don't need to revolve around me."
Gu Lin coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject, "I heard that there's a guy named Wei Ruo who's been making waves lately."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu smiled subconsciously. "Him? He looked extremely disheveled when I first met him."
Thud—
The teacup in Gu Lin's hand shattered into pieces by the force of his internal energy. "Did A-Yu know this person before?"
"He collapsed outside the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence when he was about to freeze to death, so I had someone save him." Jiang Yu looked at the broken teacup, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with anger. "Gu Lin, you owe me a teacup!"
"So it turns out it was a life-saving grace."
Gu Lin said sarcastically, "So many years have passed, and Ayu still remembers him."
Why does this person talk in such a strange way?
Jiang Yu was only concerned about the set of blue and white porcelain cups, and casually replied to Gu Lin's words, "He wrote down his name when he left. His surname is unique, so I recognized him."
Suddenly, Jiang Yu was embraced tightly.
"Gu Lin, let me go!"
Jiang Yu was both anxious and angry, and couldn't help but kick Gu Lin's calf.
"I knew Wei Ruo and I were incompatible. She always wears plain clothes, as if she's been bullied." Gu Lin said in a muffled voice, but he held Jiang Yu even tighter.
"What happened to Kui Ruo? She...she entered the court through her own abilities..."
Before Jiang Yu could finish speaking, Gu Lin reached out and covered her mouth.
"Ayu, I'm jealous."
Gu Lin's blunt words stunned Jiang Yu, and she didn't recover for several breaths.
Jiang Yu's heart pounded. Ever since her birthday, she had thought it was just a one-time indulgence, but she often found herself thinking of Gu Lin. Now, with Gu Lin suddenly hugging her like this, she wasn't even angry...
However, the Gu family and the Jiang family have a long-standing feud...
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's face turned cold again. "Gu Lin, I have no other relationship with Wei Ruo, and neither do you."
Gu Lin's hands fell to his sides, and Jiang Yu also stepped out of Gu Lin's embrace.
"Ayu, I was being presumptuous just now."
Gu Lin spoke softly, though he was filled with intense jealousy, he could only suppress the urge to grab Wei Ruo by the neck.
These are just to cheer you up.
Gu Lin took out a bunch of things before leaving with Mei Chu.
"My lord and my lady..."
"I will overcome all difficulties so that she can make a choice based on her heart."
To resolve those deep-seated feuds and past grievances, so that Ayu can choose according to her heart's desire.
This is what a man should do.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from the Prime Minister."
A letter was handed to Gu Lin, and Ling Hai disappeared into the darkness again. Gu Lin opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter for a long time.
"By my order, Zhong Yi shall take A Yan to Heng County."
