Chapter 42 A Deal Between Two Smart People
Lu Enyan stared at Gu Runci and saw that her eyes were very clear. She did not show any nervousness after saying what she had just said.
"Before you came back, you should have investigated the situation in Dizhou City..."
Gu Ruanci did not deny it: "After all, I have to come back for revenge, so I have to learn more. If there is someone who can help me, I can't just ignore them. As for the affairs of Prince Duan's Mansion, I don't need to ask too much to know. Besides, Master Mo went to my family recognition banquet that day, so I owe him a favor."
"What if I didn't come today?"
"You will come sooner or later." Gu Ruanci said very confidently.
Lu Enyan didn't say anything, but looked at Gu Ruanci with inquiring eyes.
"If a person with aspirations has no other choice but to do as much as possible before turning twenty, and everything has meaning, how could they give up the chance to continue living? And only if you live can Princess Duan live."
Lu Enyan was not surprised that she knew so much. Not to mention Doctor Zang, he could figure it out with Gu Ruanci's brain.
"Is this the reason why you took my token earlier but didn't use it to solve your own problem, and instead gave me the credit?"
Lu Enyan remembered the incident with the spy before, and it was all thanks to Gu Ruanci's alertness.
Gu Ruanci shook his head. "No, I won't trade anything for the sake of the country and the people with the prince. It's just that under the circumstances at the time, the prince's men were the most suitable to appear because they wouldn't cause a disturbance..."
"So what do you want in return for healing me?"
Lu Enyan knew that Gu Runci was a smart person.
"Isolate myself from the persecution from Prince Duan's Mansion, that's all. I know Prince Duan dotes on those two illegitimate sons and daughters. When I deal with my enemies, your sister, whose brain has been chewed by a dog, will definitely become an obstacle. I don't want to poison her directly with a prescription, and I think there will be other troubles. So I can only find a suitable partner to help me restrain them."
When Lu Enyan heard this answer, he did not express his opinion.
Gu Ruanci's face remained calm as she continued, "Also, if the Crown Prince is gone, with no one to restrain them, the Prince Duan's Mansion will likely attack the Duke of Shou's Mansion. This is definitely not what the Emperor wants to see, especially since your father, the King, is not exactly a smart person. Keeping you alive is a form of protection for both me and the Duke of Shou's Mansion. To show my sincerity, I can also help you recover from your illness."
When Lu Enyan heard this, his originally empty eyes lit up.
Even when Gu Ruanci said that his father's brain was not working well, he remained unmoved.
"I know that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in the palace sincerely hope that you can get better. If they knew my identity in the future, they would be more understanding of what I did for your sake. Since you can help them repay their debts, and since it is within the scope of my medical skills, I am naturally willing to serve."
Gu Ruanci's words were already very sincere.
"You keep saying you don't want to see a clash between Prince Duan's Mansion and Duke Shou's Mansion, but as far as I know, your enemies also have numerous connections in Imperial Province. If you want to move against them, it will also cause unrest in Imperial Province. Do you think the court would be willing to see that?"
Gu Ruanci's eyes were relaxed: "It doesn't matter, I will let them see what they want..."
"So, should I call you Little Medical Fairy, Miss Gu, or Princess Chaoyang?" Lu Enyan asked.
"When I was treating you, I was the Little Medical Fairy," Gu Ruanci took off her veil and continued, "When I was working with you, I was the Miss Gu family."
"Okay, Miss Gu, then please be the Little Medical Fairy for a while."
After saying that, Lu Enyan took the initiative to extend his hand.
Gu Ruanci immediately understood his intention, walked forward, and took out the hand pillow from the medicine box she carried with her.
After carefully taking Lu Enyan's pulse, Gu Runci closed his eyes and was already thinking about how to treat Lu Enyan's illness.
"No wonder... your pulse is disordered, constantly switching between the Fearless Pulse, the Rootless Pulse, and the Godless Pulse, but it won't completely settle. The situation is so complicated... Senior Brother and the others really have no way to treat you. If I had come down the mountain a year earlier, I wouldn't be able to do anything to you."
Gu Ruanci said something as if relieved.
Just based on this sentence, Lu Enyan already knew that he was saved.
"It seems that I will have to help Miss Gu from today."
Lu Enyan said this in a calm and steady tone.
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Gu Ruanci pulled out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and said, "This is a specially formulated pill based on your condition that Senior Brother mentioned to me. Your body isn't yet able to withstand the time it takes for me to perform acupuncture. Take this for ten days, and then we'll begin the first treatment."
Lu Enyan had no doubts and greatly appreciated Gu Ruanci's honesty.
"How long will it take you to cure my illness?"
"One year, as long as you cooperate."
Hearing this answer, Lu Enyan felt secretly delighted.
But he didn't show it and still looked calm.
"Okay, ten days later, you can notify me through Doctor Zang or the Jinshi Pawnshop."
When Gu Ruanci put on her veil and went out again, Xu Dongting almost cried. The prince was saved.
Taoist Zixu ignored him and continued walking forward with Gu Ruanci.
"Master Junior, do you have a room in mind?"
"It's better to call me Little Medical Fairy at this time, be careful not to be overheard."
Gu Ruanci deliberately changed her voice, like a middle-aged woman.
This is also what she learned when she followed her master in the world.
"yes……"
Gu Ruanci then reported the number she saw from Wu Yixuan's hand before leaving.
When Wu Yixuan, who was full of anticipation, heard the sound of his room door opening, he was so surprised that he couldn't control himself. No matter how dignified he was, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"I've met Little Medical Fairy. I'm so excited to have received her favor today..."
She was in a hurry when she bowed.
Although there was a curtain between them and the other person was wearing a veil, it did not affect Wu Yixuan's admiration.
Gu Ruanci still spoke in a woman's voice: "Everyone came here today to ask for something. What is it?"
Wu Yixuan said devoutly, "I want to pray for medicine that can repair my grandmother's heart and lungs, replenish her energy and nourish her spirit... In recent years, my mother has been absent from the family. My father refused to remarry and never took a concubine. All the chores fell on my grandmother. Although I can help share the burden, my grandmother is old and worrying too much has damaged her mind..."
Gu Ruanci really appreciated Wu Yixuan's attitude.
But she remembered what her third brother had said, that Wu Yixuan was her eldest brother's sweetheart.
Without hesitation, she pulled out a porcelain bottle and said, "Here's what you want. It's the Hundred Seeds Heart-Nourishing Pills I made myself. They should be effective enough for your grandmother."
"Thank you, Little Medical Fairy..."
Wu Yixuan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the Little Medical Fairy would be so easy to talk to.
Coming out of Wu Yixuan's room, Gu Runci thought that she would first understand Wu Yixuan's feelings after a few days, and then consider whether to do this favor to her elder brother.
Afterwards, she asked Taoist Zixu, "Where is Zhou Yuzhi's room?"
