Chapter 168 Pretending to be sick
The capital city and Yuezhou are two thousand miles apart, and it takes several days to march in a hurry, not to mention that they also brought Gu Ning and Chu Shiling two nobles.
In order to save time, the large army took the lead in setting off, and only Xie Yan led the three thousand princess guards sent by the eldest princess to escort the two.
Just ten miles away from the capital, Gu Ning heard Chu Shiling complaining one after another.
"Why aren't even ready for soft collapse? How come this is soft collapse? Do you want me to sleep peacefully every night?"
"Why isn't this water hot? Don't you know how to burn it without hot water?"
"Why is the carriage shaking so hard? It's really the official way?"
The string that was tense in Gu Ning's heart was completely broken. She walked into Chu Shiling's carriage in three or two steps and threw out Chu Shiling who was picking out.
"Gu Ning! Why are you treating me like this?" Chu Shiling held her skirt and stumbled to the carriage. The maids carefully wanted to support her, but she threw them away.
She walked out of breath, but her eyes were still staring at Gu Ning, and she must get an answer from Gu Ning.
Gu Ning called for a stop to the carriage, sat on Chu Shiling's carriage, and looked down at the embarrassed Chu Shiling: "This is on the marching road, not going out for a trip! Where did you get so many requests?"
"But I..." Chu Shiling complained all over, but after glimpsing the look that Gu Ning looked at him with a cold look, she pursed her mouth and swallowed the words unwillingly.
"I didn't want to go to Yuezhou with you." Chu Shiling murmured in a low voice, but unexpectedly a thunderous thunder was knocked off the top of her head.
She blew in pain and glared at the initiator: "Gu Ning! What are you doing!"
"You are the one who beats you!" Gu Ning asked back without answering, "Do you want to take those more than a hundred guards to Yuezhou? Don't you need my people to protect you?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Shiling's arrogant arrogance quickly shriveled like a pierced balloon: "I just said that..."
"Chunyu, come and tell her why we should speed up." Gu Ning waved his whip and kept whipping on the open space under Chu Shiling's feet, scaring Chu Shiling's face so pale.
So when Chunyu opened her mouth, Chu Shiling closed her mouth peacefully.
"The border between Yuezhou and the two countries has never been peaceful. Yuezhou's climate is cold, and the winter is approaching, when bandits are most rampant. In order to be foolproof, it is best to arrive in Yuezhou before the end of autumn. At today's speed, we can arrive before the beginning of winter. Time is tight, and every day is delayed, the danger will be one more minute."
Chu Shiling raised her eyelids and said carefully: "If you don't talk about the army ahead, just talk about the three thousand personal guards accompanying you. Can't you intimidate the bandits in the mountains?"
"These soldiers also have families, old people and young people, and can safely arrive in Yuezhou City. Why should they sacrifice their lives?" Gu Ning frowned, "If you waste time on the next journey, I will keep you directly!"
Gu Ning's warning is not like a false statement. Chu Shiling shrank his neck, so how could he dare to sing the opposite tune again?
"I get it." She nodded like garlic, "If you keep one hundred and twenty hearts, I will stay in the carriage honestly!"
"There is a station ahead, please be more at ease." Gu Ning warned her again, and then returned to his carriage.
Chu Shiling was just next to the carriage, and was covered in dust by the horse's hooves, and she felt uncomfortable everywhere. However, Gu Ning's warning echoed in her ears, and she had to pinch her nose and endure it.
I also knew about the post station, and Chu Shiling didn't make any noise.
"The ears are finally clear." Gu Ning soaked in the bathtub and sighed comfortably, "How long will it take to get to Yuezhou?"
"It will take at least fifteen days." Chunyu replied, "With a large army in front, I believe the bandits dare not go on the road."
Gu Ning snorted coldly: "There are large troops on the way to Yuezhou, of course there will be no trouble, but when I arrive in Yuezhou, I can't take three thousand personal guards with me wherever I go."
"Is the county lord worried that someone would assassinate you?" Chunyu blurted out, "But if you kill you, there is nothing to do with the overall situation..."
"That's not necessarily." Gu Ning's tone was calm, but he was secretly cold, "We
It was completely broken up with Chu Yunyi. Chu Yunyi would never have watched such a big backer in the Pei family being taken away. In this way, he could only try every means to get rid of the Pei family!"
"The rumors from the last autumn hunting should have been from him."
Chunyu was silent for a while and whispered: "Don't worry, I have a servant and Lord Xie here, no one can hurt you!"
Gu Ning supported his chin, his fair arms were outside, and his black hair was draped behind his ears, like a bewitching fairy in the mountains.
She smiled and said, "It's nothing to assassinate, but I suspect... Chu Yunyi has other plans."
Upon hearing this, Chunyu's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what she thought of, but her face turned a little ugly: "It seems that there are people from the Jiang family in Yuezhou."
At this time, a knock sounded outside the closed door.
Gu Ning looked at the tall figure and pursed his lips. The moment Chunyu wanted to leave, he grabbed Chunyu's sleeve.
"Do you want to leave your county lord here without covering your clothes?" Gu Ning stared at her fiercely, "Sobert!"
She guessed from Chunyu's attitude towards Xie Yan that Chunyu had known Xie Yan's true identity for a long time, but she never expected Chunyu to be so afraid of Xie Yan.
Chunyu's movements stopped, and after Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the large spring light at the bottom of the water, she immediately woke up.
"I'm so confused just now!" Chunyu's face turned red, and she hurriedly took her clothes over, wiped the water droplets on Gu Ning in a hurry, and put them on her clothes.
Gu Ning retracted into the quilt and nude at Chun Yu who was standing beside him: "Now you can leave."
However, Chunyu stood there like a piece of wood, as if she hadn't heard Gu Ning's words.
It was not until the knock on the door sounded again that Chunyu said, "The princess has given her order, and you must not be alone with Lord Xie."
Gu Ning coughed, and his little face turned red.
"Go and invite Lord Xie in."
When Chunyu saw Gu Ning agreeing to stay, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had avoided listening to the clan. She had not gotten married yet and didn't want to know these things so early.
Xie Yan strode in, her handsome face was calm, as natural as if she was walking into her own bedroom...c
Just when he wanted to hold Gu Ning and kiss Fangze, he heard Gu Ning lower his head and cough quietly, and kept winking at him.
"I'm waiting at the door." Chunyu said loudly, "Sir Xie, please say anything, you have to hurry up. You'll have to hurry up tomorrow morning!"
As he said that, Chunyu opened the two doors and stood in the middle of the door like a door god.
"This is all told by my grandmother." Gu Ning tried hard to make his expression natural and cleared his throat, "Is there anything else that Mr. Xie?"
When Gu Ning spoke, he didn't dare to look at Xie Yan in the eyes.
She was stared at Xie Yan's aggrieved eyes and felt uneasy, as if she had become a disobedient man.
Suddenly, the curtain was pulled down, and Chunyu's figure standing at the door became faintly visible, and Gu Ning couldn't see her face clearly.
The next moment, Xie Yan sat beside her, holding her waist tightly with her big hands. The hot temperature of the palm of her palm made Gu Ning clearly feel Xie Yan's mood for the matter.
Gu Ning blinked and, in accordance with the principle of not being too lucky to be vain and not being too careless, he simply kissed Xie Yan's thin lips.
Just when she wanted to leave, Xie Yan was locked on the back of her head and was forced to deepen the kiss.
Gu Ning looked at the rising luck value bit by bit, his eyebrows were curved.
"Just so happy?" Xie Yan's voice was hoarse. Whenever he saw Gu Ning's shiny eyes, he wanted to offer anything she wanted.
Gu Ning put his forehead against his chest, revealing only two red and blood-dripping ears: "Yes."
She pinched her hands and tried her best to suppress her beating heart, muttering with regret: "It would be great if Chunyu was not here."
Xie Yan tightened his Adam's apple, and what he thought of was the spring scenery in Xie's mansion before leaving. His hand holding Gu Ning became much stronger.
Chunyu, who was standing outside the door, looked at the dark night sky, wishing she could block her ears.
At the same time, the capital city was deserted.
The imperial physician sat in front of the bed, putting his hand on Yan Yu's wrist, and his face was very serious.
Behind the Imperial Doctor, Li Dehai looked worried: "What's wrong with the proton?"
"I suffered from the cold wind." The imperial physician sighed and shook his head, "It's just that Proton is weak, and now he has suffered from the cold wind again. I'm afraid he will have to spend this winter in bed."
"Can you worry about your life?" Li Dehai asked worriedly, "The emperor is very concerned about the proton's body and instructs the Imperial Hospital to use the best medicinal materials to cure the proton."
A cold sweat broke out between the imperial physician's forehead. Before he could answer, he heard Yan Yu coughing several times on the bed.
Yan Yu coughed while speaking for the imperial physician: "I have all my bad habits, just raise them. Please ask Eunuch Li to thank the emperor for his kindness."
The imperial physician also hurriedly said, "The officials will use the best medicinal materials to warm the protons, but according to the current physical condition of the protons, I am afraid they cannot go out."
Yan Yu's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he quickly said considerately: "I'm used to it, and this is not a big deal."
Seeing Yan Yu so kind, the imperial physician couldn't help but sigh in his heart, was this a good person not alive?
Li Dehai said a few words of comfort and asked someone to put all the medicinal materials sent by the emperor in front of Yan Yu, so that Yan Yu would feel the emperor's kindness.
Yan Yu naturally would not let him down, and thanked him repeatedly, wishing he could drag his sick body to Tai Chi Palace to thank him in person.
After the two of them rallied, Li Dehai left and took the imperial physician with him.
"Yan Zhengzi's body is really as bad as you said?" Li Dehai was extremely suspicious and reminded, "You have to diagnose it well, the emperor is quite suspicious of this."
The imperial physician sighed softly: "He has congenital deficiencies, and even if the Daluo Jinxian comes, it is difficult to save him. Xia Guan has been treating him with Ping'an meridians for several months. There is indeed no doubt about it. This cold wind is expected by Xia Guan."
"Yan Zhengzi is weak, and the cold this time is not serious. According to my speculation, he may be seriously ill after the winter."
Listening to the imperial physician's words, Li Dehai felt much more relieved and hurriedly entered the palace to report back to the emperor.
"So, he really can't go out?" The emperor's suspicion dissipated a lot, but his eyebrows were still tightening, obviously because he didn't trust Yan Yu very much.
Li Dehai thought about it in his heart and said sympathetically: "I saw that Yan Zhengzi did not look like a long-lived person. I coughed up blood when I saw him."
Hearing this, the emperor held the Buddhist beads on his wrist and pondered for a while, but still did not completely dispel his suspicion of Yan Yu: "Since he is in poor health, let him take good care of his illness and don't come out these days."
Li Dehai understood that this was a disguised confinement.
He nodded: "Sister, let's send an order."
"Send more medicinal materials." The emperor shook the Buddhist beads and said depressedly, "A mere proton has burned several hundred-year-old ginseng in a blink of an eye."
