Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 515 Current Situation
"Go to the city for treatment?"

Emperor Jingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed something was wrong: "Where is Gu Yunji now?"

Ning Fuhai responded: "In response to Your Majesty's words, Mr. Gu is waiting outside the gate of the capital."

Emperor Jingfeng frowned: "Didn't you say that Gu Yunji was seriously ill after being poisoned by a strange poison? If you don't quickly ask a doctor to treat him, why are you still letting him wait outside the city gate?"

Seeing that Ning Fuhai couldn't explain the reason, Emperor Jingfeng had no choice but to turn to the prince. Li Jinze took a step forward and said: "My son, I know that it is a big mistake to leave the territory with the local magistrate without permission, and I dare not make more mistakes..." …Therefore, I dare not let Gu Yunji enter the capital without my father’s permission.”

"Confused!"

Emperor Jingfeng raised his eyebrows and pretended to curse: "Gu Yunji was seriously injured. You brought him back to the capital and didn't let him rush into the city for treatment. Isn't this a waste of time?"

"Gu Yunji was poisoned because he was trying to protect you from hidden weapons. He is loyal and an indispensable loyal minister of Daxia. Why don't you bring him into the city quickly, settle him down, and summon the imperial doctor to treat him and detoxify him?"

"Don't be stuck here. Go and guard Gu Yunji. You can use the medicinal materials and herbs in the palace for your use. You must let the imperial doctor cure him. If there is anything wrong with Gu Yunji, you are the only one I can ask."

Emperor Jingfeng seemed unfazed, but his face was relaxed, and he was obviously in a good mood.

Li Jinze felt relieved when he saw this: "Yes, I will go now."

-

"Master Gu!"

In the villa in the capital, Li Jinze looked anxious and walked in the door hurriedly: "Weren't you fine before I entered the palace? Why did your condition suddenly become serious after only an hour... eh?"

When he walked into the house, he saw that Gu Yunji didn't look "in danger". Although he was lying on the bed, his face was rosy and energetic. Judging from his complexion, he was stronger than the average young man.

Seeing Li Jinze, Gu Yunji said with a smile, "His Highness is back? How is it? Is His Majesty angry with you?"

Li Jinze was stunned, but subconsciously answered his question first: "...Father was very angry, but I did as the caretaker taught me, and my father did calm down quickly. Although he didn't directly say this. The matter was revealed, but I was not punished. My father only asked me to concentrate on taking care of your condition, and I must have the doctor cure you."

Gu Yunji nodded and said: "That's right. The reason why His Highness brought the local officials back to Beijing in violation of the regulations is to treat the minister's illness. As long as the minister's illness becomes serious and diverts His Majesty's attention, it will be difficult for him to punish His Highness. .”

Li Jinze suddenly realized: "So that's the case. No wonder Mr. Gu's timing of 'getting sicker' is so clever. After all, if I continue to talk to my father, I was at fault first. My father is both emotional and reasonable, so he must give me some punishment." A good ending.”

"It was a false alarm. Fortunately, Mr. Gu is fine. However, Gao Shishu is a treacherous person. Just in case, he still asked the accompanying imperial doctor to check Mr. Gu's pulse."

After that, Li Jinze brought in an imperial doctor and introduced: "This is Wu He, the son-in-law of Zhou Taifu, Wu He. His family comes from a family of medical officers. He has superb medical skills and has always been close to the East Palace. He is a trustworthy person. Mr. Gu need not There is a taboo against him.”

Gu Yunji nodded to Wu He as a greeting and stretched out his wrist to feel his pulse: "Then I'll trouble Doctor Wu."

Wu He examined Gu Yunji's pulse carefully, then looked at the prescription he had taken before, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gu's pulse is stable and strong, but his internal organs are a little weak, or the remaining poison has not been cleared away, but it doesn't matter. Just prescribe a couple of prescriptions to nurse him back to health." "At present, the diagnosis result of the minister is still consistent with the opinion of the doctor in Fucheng, Hangzhou, that is, Mr. Gu was only infected with a common depleting poison, and it has been cured, and there is no discovery. What a strange mixture of poisons.”

Hearing what Wu He said, the big stone in Li Jinze's heart finally fell.

This was similar to what Gu Yunji expected. After sending Wu He away, he said in a deep voice: "Actually, when I drank the antidote in Hangzhou, I could already feel that my body was slowly recovering. As for the idea of ​​mixing strange poisons, it was probably Gao Shishu made it up to fool us."

"The silver needle coated with poison was hidden in Gao Shishu's mouth. He accidentally poisoned himself first. You have to be careful with ordinary poisons, let alone the poison that seals the throat with blood. He didn't hide it at all. Poisonous conditions.”

"Gao Shishu had a deep hatred for the royal family and was willing to risk his life for revenge. The reason why he said this at that time was probably because he felt that he had no way to survive and wanted to take revenge on us before he died, so as to make us panic all day long. "

Li Jinze breathed a sigh of relief: "That's what I said, but it's always hard to feel at ease before getting the exact result. Now that I'm sure Master Gu is fine, I can go back to my father."

"Your Highness, wait a moment." Gu Yunji stopped him and suddenly asked, "How are you going to reply to Your Majesty?"

Li Jinze didn't know why: "Of course I'm going to tell my father that Mr. Gu, you are now out of danger and your toxins have been basically eliminated, so that he can rest assured."

"No, Your Highness must not say that." Gu Yunji shook his head and said sternly, "Your Highness wants to conceal my true condition from the outside world and tell His Majesty that I am in critical condition. This is the first time that the imperial doctor has seen such a strange mixture of poisons. It is extremely difficult, and we are stepping up efforts to develop an antidote."

"Remember, the more serious the situation, the better. Visitors should also be refused to avoid delaying the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment."

Li Jinze was stunned: "...Why?"

Gu Yunji asked back: "Why do you think His Highness did it? Your Highness had to kill him first and then report it. He ignored the rules of the court and insisted on taking the minister back to the capital, saying that it was a special situation and that he had to obey the authority urgently. What happened? The minister's illness healed as soon as he came to Beijing. It was not as good as what His Highness said. If it is so serious, what will the officials think of you? How will His Majesty think of you?"

When he said this, Li Jinze immediately realized the key point and his voice deepened: "Everyone will think that I am exaggerating. I don't pay attention to the regulations of the court. I deliberately made an excuse just to take you back to Beijing."

"Father has become more and more suspicious in recent years. He may even think that I have secretly communicated with you and have the intention to form a party for selfish purposes. In this way, I will be the target of public criticism. The second party and the other party will never let go of this opportunity. They will definitely Adding fuel to the fire, at that time, I will..."

Speaking of this, Li Jinze got a lump in his throat and couldn't speak any more.

Gu Yunji nodded slowly: "It's good that Your Highness understands. Now the more serious your Highness describes the general's condition, the more favorable the situation will be for us. If it can be delayed for a few months, maybe all the officials will have forgotten to investigate His Highness's fault."

"There's just one thing that Your Highness needs to pay attention to. Gao Shishu is currently in prison. The torture methods in prison are extremely cruel. He probably won't be able to resist for long. If he doesn't catch it and he makes up the mixed poison, we will be in trouble."

"His Highness must make it clear as soon as possible that Gao Shishu's assassination of the Crown Prince should be brought to light, and the trial of the case should be legalized, and then transferred to the Ministry of Punishment as a matter of course. Your Highness will not have to worry about the rest."

The Criminal Department was Gu Yuanhui's territory. As long as Gu Yunji got on the same page with him and supported by all parties, it would be easy to fabricate a confession.

Knowing that Gu Yunji had made a detailed plan, the feeling of emptiness in Li Jinze's heart since Zhou Minqing's death finally disappeared. His confidence gradually filled up, and he suddenly felt that he had a backer. He agreed very happily: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, these I will take care of everything, you just need to rest in the garden."
