Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 751 Meeting Li Ji

The capital of Qin, Xianyang Palace, and Concubine Li's bedroom.

Gu Xun raised his head and glanced at the palace in front of him. In terms of scale and luxury, it was indeed the leading palace in Xianyang Palace.

The gossip circulating in Xianyang Palace recently is true. Gongsun Li's treatment is indeed very good.

Of course, the reason why Concubine Li caused endless discussions among the female officials and servants in the palace was because of her belly.

Among other things, the people in these palaces are experts at looking at women's bellies. Although Gongsun Li has not shown her pregnancy yet, she can't hide it from these palace people just by her walking, sitting and lying performance.

However, they are not fools, and they know what is allowed and what is not allowed to be gossiped about. They just chatted about Ying Zheng's special treatment for the newly promoted concubine Li. Regarding the pregnancy, no rumors were spread in the government and the public.

Gu Xun appeared here today just to see this concubine Li.

Gongsun Li was pregnant, but she was brought back to Xianyang by Da Siming from Jicheng, thousands of miles away. It was still in the cold winter, so Ying Zheng naturally had to worry about problems with the child in her belly, so he took the person back to Xianyang. After entering the palace, he ordered the imperial physician to order Huangshan to examine his physical condition many times.

The result was naturally... not very good.

But it's not that the fetus is bad, it's that Gongsun Li is bad.

Traveling thousands of miles did not have much impact on her physical condition. I don't know whether it was because the Yin Yang family was well prepared, Da Siming took good care of her, or because she had excellent physical fitness.

But there is no physical problem, but the psychological problem is serious.

A woman suddenly suffered a drastic change and was abducted from her lover and senior brother to Xianyang thousands of miles away. She was also sent to the palace and became some kind of concubine.

Not to mention that she was a pregnant woman in a fragile psychological state, even a completely normal person would find it difficult to accept this series of changes.

The longing and worry for her lover, the unknown fear of what she would encounter next, and most importantly - the safety of her unborn child... All kinds of psychological burdens all fell on her heart at once, feeling confused and anxious. Fear, worry... and other emotions are all trapped in my heart.

This kind of mental pressure can drive people crazy.

Fortunately, the unborn child was not only the existence that Gongsun Li was most worried about, but also the last protection to maintain her mentality, which she could barely hold on to.

However, the person's state is also affected by this, with the person feeling listless and lacking in energy all day long, and the body is deteriorating.

With Huangshan's medical skills, he could easily grasp the crux of Gongsun Li's problem, but his heart ailment was difficult to cure and he was helpless.

To be more precise, he didn't dare to do it.

A woman who has just entered the womb and is two or three months pregnant is still in a state of worry and incomprehension. Do you dare to investigate further?
  He could only prescribe some medicine to regulate the body, treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Later, Gu Xun found out how many times he had diagnosed Li Fei, so he went to the Imperial Hospital to ask.

Huang Shan and others didn't dare to talk about this, but he trusted Gu Xun and told him everything.

After Gu Xun found out, he thought about it and decided to come and have a look.

First of all, he had some friendship with the Mo family and Jing Ke. Even if he didn't intend to save anyone, he should still come and take care of them.

Secondly, he was also a little curious about Gongsun Li. After all... no matter what, this was the woman who gave Ying Zheng two titles in name. She might not be able to go down in history and leave her name forever. of.

Hmm... This is a tidbit of tidbits for Ying Zheng, the First Emperor.

Just do what you said. Gu Xun took advantage of the fact that the weather was still sunny today and had no intention of informing Ying Zheng, so he came directly.

Everyone knows what Gongsun Li is, so there is no need to go out of his way to go through the motions with him.

The maids who were guarding outside the palace felt a handsome face coming up to them. They couldn't help but lose their minds and their thoughts were flying. However, professional ethics and concerns about their lives made them come back to their senses before Gu Xun walked in directly. Stopped him. "This..." Because she didn't know Gu Xun's identity, the palace maid thought about the title, "My lord, this is the palace of Concubine Li, and it is inconvenient for foreign ministers to enter."

If it had been anyone else, their attitude would have been much worse. However, because of Gu Xun's face, they could not emphasize the tone and just reminded him softly.

Gu Xun didn't just rush in with his head down. He stopped and explained, "I know, I'm just here to see Concubine Li."

"I heard that she was feeling unwell, so I came here to check on her."

"Uh... Who are you from Concubine Li?" The palace maid was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment, and asked quickly after she recovered.

I thought to myself, could this handsome young man be a relative of Concubine Li?

But even relatives can't just visit the palace, right?

Gu Xun pondered for a moment and answered, "Let's just call it...an old friend."

Old friend? Still tentative? Is it because the eight poles can't be used?
  The palace maid quickly shook her head, "My lord, please forgive me. Without the king's order, I cannot let you in."

"King Qin, Gu has his own explanation. All you need to do when you return is to truthfully report that it is Gu Xun, the national master, who is here to visit."

Gu Xun said a word, and walked straight into the palace regardless of the palace maid blocking his way.

The palace maid who learned Gu Xun's identity was also stunned on the spot and did not continue to stop him.

Imperial Master...Gu Xun?
  Is this the legendary national master?
  This face... is not exaggerated at all.

In the past, when they heard other palace maids chatting about the appearance of the imperial master, they thought it was just spreading rumors. Now they know what it means to be worthy of the name when they meet the real person.

Since he is a national master, there is no need to stop him.

She is the teacher of the eldest son. If she wants, she can even live in the harem directly. Moreover, it is said that the martial arts of the national master is unparalleled. What else do you really want to do to let them know?

Just follow what others tell you.

On the other side, Gu Xun, who had already entered Concubine Li's palace, was not blocked again, although the palace maids who occasionally passed by on the road commented on him with strange and obsessed eyes.

However, when he officially entered the palace where Concubine Li rested and lived, he was blocked again.

This time, before he could speak, one of the maids waiting in the palace, who seemed to be the leader, took the initiative to greet him and bowed:
  "This slave has met the Imperial Master."

Gu Xun's eyes swept over her body... Well, she was still good at martial arts. She was probably sent by Ying Zheng to keep an eye on Gongsun Li.

Without paying much attention, Gu Xun waved his hand and said, "I came to see Concubine Li. Where is she?"

"The empress is tired and is resting in the inner hall." The palace maid answered Gu Xun's question first, and then hesitantly said, "I wonder if you have the king's permission for your visit?"

Gu Xun did not answer, but looked around and said, "Li Fei and I have something to discuss. You all should step aside first."

The maids in the palace all looked at the leader in front of Gu Xun, and she gritted her teeth, probably trying to stop her, "My lord..."

Gu Xun interrupted her directly, "I told you to go down first!"

"If you have any questions, you can report them to King Qin."
