Chapter 72 As if everything was business as usual, the nightmare dissipated
When the first ray of morning light shined through the window lattice of the woodshed and onto Gu Yu's eyes, Dong Changmao finally breathed his last breath as he wished.
Gu Yu stood up with difficulty and opened the door, letting the bright sunlight shine on her.
The long night has passed, and a new day has come.
It seemed as if everything was normal and the nightmare disappeared.
She couldn't help but squint her eyes, and the scent of grass and trees wafted into the blood-smelling air.
People's souls can't help but become lighter, as if they can become immortals in the next moment.
The white clothes on her body were soaked with blood and turned black and red.
her blood.
Dong Changmao's blood.
The three-edged sword was also full of blood, and had a murderous luster in the sun.
The sky is clear and cloudless, and the sky is so pure blue.
After a night of wind and rain, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are still full of vitality.
She walked out of purgatory slowly and found that the world was so beautiful that it seemed false.
Luo Yan stayed outside the courtyard and didn't sleep all night.
When she saw Gu Yu coming out of the woodshed covered in blood, she hurriedly greeted him and said, "This servant is waiting for the prince to groom himself."
Gu Yu went back and changed her clothes.
The wound on the back was not treated in time and it stuck to the clothes. When he took off his clothes, the wound became bloody and bloody again.
Luo Yan asked with concern from outside: "Your Majesty, would you like your servant to go in and help you apply the medicine?"
Gu Yu endured the pain, tied a belt on her chest, put on her usual green shirt, and said, "No need."
Luo Yan clutched the handkerchief. The prince's injury was on her back. If no one helped her apply medicine, it would probably fester and become inflamed.
But the prince never allowed others to touch her body.
It's really difficult to do.
When Luoyan was in a dilemma, Gu Yu came out of the back room.
She walked straight to the desk, took out a seal from the small secret box inside, dipped it in ink pad and printed it on a blank rice paper.
Then he handed the piece of paper to Luo Yan and said with a normal expression: "Send Dong Changmao's body together with this secretly to the Dong family."
Luo Yan knelt down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
When I walked out the door and opened the rice paper, I saw a totem inside.
It's not the Gu family emblem.
It was the totem on the battle flag when Gu Yu's father, Duke Gu Junyi, led the troops in battle.
A red and ferocious eye of fire.
Witnessed the countless heroic battles of Lord Zhen Guo on the battlefield.
Gu Yu put the seal away. She was too weak now and no one would take her seriously. Only through her father's influence could the Dong family be suppressed.
Just wait.
She will let this totem flourish again in her hands.
Let no one in the Yu Dynasty dare to bully the entire Gu family.
Gu Yu got up and went to her sister's yard. The door was closed and it was quiet inside. She walked around the outer wall and didn't hear any movement.
Until my sister's maid Sang Ya came out with a tired look on her face and was shocked when she saw Gu Yu standing like a statue.
I don’t know how long the prince had been standing outside. His hair was covered with morning dew. He quickly knelt and saluted and said, "Your prince is well."
"How is Qiong'er?" Gu Yu asked in a hoarse voice.
Sang Ya said: "I woke up three or four times during the night, and I just fell asleep more peacefully."
Gu Yudao: "Have you used any medicine?"
Sang Ya said: "During the night, the slave and the aunt spent a lot of effort to drink some, and then they spit it out. They drank it several times before they drank a bowl. Now that they have recovered from the nightmare, they can also drink it.
No more twitching."
Gu Yu nodded and said, "I'll come see her later."
Sang Ya wanted to speak but stopped.
Gu Yu asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Sang Ya pinched the handkerchief and said, "Aunt Su has told us not to let you see the third lady. Doctor Leng also said that the third lady is very resistant to men's contact now, so it's best for you not to come during this time."
After Sang Ya finished speaking, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Yu's expression.
Gu Yu's mind went blank for a moment, her thin body swayed, and then she closed her eyes and said slowly: "I understand, take good care of her, and tell me any news in time."
The mulberry buds should fall.
Looking at the back of the Crown Prince as he left, he was clearly upright, but exuded a feeling of slump and hunched over.
...
The Princess's Mansion, Heliyuan.
Junze didn't have a good sleep all night, and Gu Yu's empty and cold eyes were all he could see in and out of his dreams.
Seeing Lan Yan coming over, he rubbed his forehead and asked, "How is she?"
The prince didn't say it clearly, but Lan Yan also knew who "she" was referring to, so he said: "Prince Gu was punished by the family last night."
Junze rubbed his forehead with his hand. As early as when he was in the army, he had heard that the Gu family was very cruel, and the previous generation even beat people to death.
He quickly asked: "How is she now?"
Lan Yan lowered his head and said, "Thirty sticks, I was seriously injured and even vomited blood."
Junze felt an unknown fire in his heart and slapped the table hard. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
Gu Yu usually seems to be such a smart person, so how come he doesn't know how to avoid things and insists on confronting them.
Thirty sticks, even an ordinary military stick can kill half an adult man, let alone the Gu family's long stick made of chestnut wood wrapped in iron.
He glanced at Lan Yan and knew that she still had something to say, so he motioned for her to continue.
"After being punished by the family last night, Prince Gu also went to kill Dong Changmao at night. Dong Changmao's body should be on the way to the Dong Mansion now."
Junze was so angry that he walked back and forth in the room. It was rare that he lost control of his emotions. He didn't know why he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
After receiving thirty sticks from the Gu family cane, instead of lying down to recuperate, he stayed up late to kill Dong Changmao.
Lan Yan felt that the prince's anger was unfounded. Wasn't he sending her there to monitor Gu Yu's movements?
Shouldn't the two be tit for tat and fight each other for their own masters?
Why was the prince not happy but so angry when he heard the news that Prince Gu was seriously injured?
Junze handed Lan Yan a small porcelain bottle and said, "Take it and apply medicine to Gu Yu."
Lan Yan took it and recognized that it was a golden elixir used by the royal family. It could heal wounds and strengthen muscles. It was hard to find, and the price was high but there was no market.
She couldn't figure it out for a moment and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Before I came out, Prince Gu took a car to Yangkang Bookstore. I'm afraid it's going to be evening."
"Pa"
Junze slapped his palm on the table again, and the wrench on his hand shattered, leaving a large crack on the tabletop.
Junze gritted his teeth and said, "She really doesn't want her life."
Lan Yan lowered her head and said nothing.
Junze called out: "Be silent."
Gu Yan came in quietly.
Junze threw the broken ring on his hand to Wu Yan and said: "Take this ring and go to the Dong Mansion to warn Mr. Dong about what he should do and what he shouldn't do, so that he has an idea."
Zi Yan took the finger and quietly retreated out.
"Bring it here." Junze stretched out his hand and said to Lan Yan.
Lan Yan didn't understand for a moment.
Junze said with a cold face: "Bring the golden sore medicine."
Lan Yan quickly handed it over.
Junze tidied his clothes briefly, then ordered someone to prepare a carriage to go to Yangkang Bookstore.
Before leaving, he said to Lan Yan: "Come and tell me everything Gu Yu has done recently."
Lan Yan responded.
This is different from what the prince said before. Isn't it because he is afraid of alerting others and asks her to come as little as possible?
The prince's affection for Gu Shizi has gone beyond the scope of his opponents.
It seemed that she needed to correct her attitude towards Prince Gu.
