Chapter 110 The person behind the scenes is really smart
Lu Enyan smiled and said, "You probably don't want to accept Zhou Yuzhi as your disciple."
"Well, even if he sacrificed his entire family, the most I would do is frown."
Gu Ruanci was not surprised by Lu Enyan's smile. He was a grown man and didn't have facial paralysis. He was just sick. Now that he saw the dawn of recovery, he should smile more.
"You're telling me that you want all the Zhou family members to die?"
Lu Enyan asked thoughtfully, looking straight ahead.
"Can't you guess if I don't admit it?" Gu Ruanci asked back.
Lu Enyan did not dwell on this issue any further, but said, "You, the Gu family, must be careful in your actions now. The man behind this is a master. He has nothing to lose. No matter what kind of result Zhang Jian can cause this time, he will reap the benefits."
Gu Ruanci nodded. "Indeed, if Zhang Jian succeeds in dragging the Shouguo Mansion into this, my father would have voluntarily given up a lot of power in order to avoid causing trouble for the Emperor. It's uncertain who will get these powers by then. Now, our Shouguo Mansion has failed Zhang Jian's plan because of the help of the Crown Prince, but it has also completely magnified the power of the Shouguo Mansion in front of everyone. People won't pay much attention to what happened in the middle. They only know that the Minister of War and his family have been exiled because they offended the Gu family. A second-rank official of the court was defeated without any hesitation. Those censors and those who don't like our Gu family should have something to say again."
Lu Enyan helped her continue: "These things must be very upsetting to the Emperor's uncle. In order to help the Emperor resolve his worries and difficulties, the Duke of Shou may still take that step in the end and give up his power. In addition, he must act more cautiously in Dizhou City in the future."
"So, whether the Gu family wins or loses this battle, the outcome will be the same. As for the Zhang family, they have been nothing more than disposable tools from beginning to end."
When Gu Ruanci said this, there was some appreciation in her tone.
The people behind this were really smart when they designed all this.
The two chatted for a long time and the acupuncture treatment was over.
Gu Ruanci wrote a new prescription for Lu Enyan. His condition was gradually improving and his body could tolerate the medicinal properties, so the dosage of some medicines could be increased.
The sunlight came through the window lattice, passed through Gu Runci's eyelashes, and gently covered her cheek. From Lu Enyan's perspective, she looked like a goddess.
That kind of sacredness does not alienate people, but makes them want to get closer.
"It wasn't me who helped spread the news that Xiao Yixian had left Dizhou," Lu Enyan mentioned.
Without even looking up, Gu Ruanci replied directly, "I know. Naturally, some people hope that Zhou Yuzhi will become Zhang Songming's disciple. Now that the plan has been achieved, haven't they already taken the next step? I wonder who else they want to target besides you."
Lu Enyan thought for a moment and said, "It's not realistic to use Doctor Zhang to harm others. I'm afraid there are other reasons..."
Gu Ruanci wrote the prescription, called Nong Chun in, and asked her to take it out and give it to the empress dowager's attendant.
"That Wen Haiyue..."
Lu Enyan suddenly asked, his tone somewhat tentative.
"Sister Wen, the daughter of the Minister of War? Now that Zhang Jian has left Dizhou, the position of Minister of War is vacant. I heard that Minister Wen is very promising."
Gu Ruanci thought about it and remembered that the last time she met Wen Haiyue, she had advised her to mind her own business.
Lu Enyan reminded him, "You should know that her father is from the same clan as Wen Zimei, and is also a relative of Concubine Wen in our mansion."
"The first wife and concubine Wen of the Wen family are both from the main branch. Minister Wen was from the side branch. And it seems that he and Wen Zimei are brothers only after tracing back four generations. One is legitimate and the other is illegitimate..."
"In the Imperial State, or even anywhere else where there's a need for profit, if you don't have the ability, you'll basically be out of the picture for three generations. If you're in a high position, powerful, and can bring mutual benefits, even if you can't trace your ancestor back hundreds of years, you can still establish a relationship. I just want to remind the county lady that you and that girl from the Wu family have different backgrounds. Prime Minister Wu's family has always adhered to monogamy and never taken concubines, so they have a simple population and naturally don't need to think too much when getting along with others."
Gu Ruanci already understood the other party's good intentions: "Although I am now a daughter of the Gu family, in the eyes of many people, I still have an inseparable relationship with the Zhou family. In the future, when dealing with these people, whether they are friendly with the Zhou family or harmonious with the Ye family, I must be careful not to put myself in a difficult position, nor make things difficult for others."
Gu Ruanci's clarity made Lu Enyan feel relieved.
This kind of communication can give him positive feedback.
"It seems the County Lady understands everything. I won't say anything more, as it would be redundant. My mother has taken your medicine and is much better now. Plus, there's hope for my condition, so she's relieved and is wondering when she can see you."
Gu Ruanci said, "Just let it be. I'm already very grateful for the things that the princess gave me through the rewards from the emperor and the empress dowager. Besides, we are in cooperation, and you have never taken advantage of me."
Lu Enyan smiled again. Gu Ruanci's clarity was something rarely seen in the world.
But as he laughed, he thought that if she had not lost her mother at a young age and experienced those ugly things, how could she have wrapped herself up so tightly and rarely revealed her emotions?
A sixteen-year-old girl who is as young as a flower should have been enjoying the best years of her life. After she came of age, she should have been unrestrained and bright before getting married. However, she ended up having to make plans with a heart full of hatred.
Thinking of this, he restrained his smile and his eyes showed a kind of mutual understanding.
After the treatment was completely completed, Gu Ruanci walked out of the inner room first and said a few words to the Empress Dowager.
"Soft words, you chose this place on purpose this time. Do you have something to say to me?"
The Empress Dowager was not an evil person. Ever since she knew that Gu Ruanci was the Little Medical Fairy, she became even kinder to her.
"Yes, I believe the Empress Dowager should be aware of the conflict between me and County Lady Mingyue. I know that she is the apple of His Royal Highness Prince Duan's eye, which is why she is indulged in such rudeness. If she does not take the initiative to provoke me, I will naturally keep my distance from her. If she provokes me again and again, I will fight back in my own way."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "This child is indeed spoiled. Do whatever you want. I believe that you are a smart person and will know your limits."
After thanking him, Gu Ruanci took Nong Chun and Zang Xia away. Only then did Lu Enyan come out.
"Enyan, what do you think of this soft word?" asked the Empress Dowager.
"Smart, calm, decisive, very good." Lu Enyan answered simply.
The Queen Mother then asked, "If I let her become your Crown Prince's Consort, would you be willing?"
