Gu Yu couldn't help but take half a step back, pretending to be calm and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about me, but I've already recovered from my humble injury."
Junze felt something strange, so he walked over and grabbed Gu Yu's arm, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a dangerous look:
"Earlier you went around claiming that I injured your arm, and now you are so evasive. Could it be that you were faking the injury?"
Her wrist was firmly held in Junze's hand, and her wide sleeves fell off, revealing a cloth band wrapped around her elbow.
Gu Yu's face turned pale and she reluctantly opened his grip.
It's pure nonsense. When did she spread it everywhere? She just delivered the message to the censor's desk.
It was obvious that this person was being harassed by the imperial censor every few days, so why did he keep grabbing her when he got here?
Gu Yu was so nervous that she could feel her legs trembling slightly, her thoughts were racing, and she said:
"Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have been suffering from deficiencies since I was a child. This time I am worried that the government doctor may diagnose other diseases, which may bring harm to Your Majesty."
When Junze heard what she said, most of his doubts disappeared. It was just... a symptom of inadequacy?
Junze was now very close to Gu Yu and could see her jade-like face clearly.
Normally, a man of this age would have some stubble on his face, no matter how cleanly shaven he is, but Gu Yu has delicate skin, and looking at her thin frame...
Aren’t you a celestial eunuch?
Thinking of this, Junze quickly stopped. The Duke of Zhen died heroically for the country, but he was wondering whether his son was a natural eunuch. It was really inappropriate.
Junze coughed lightly and suppressed his random thoughts.
Gu Yuzheng was anxious, so he heard the Holy Sage say: "Then let the imperial doctor just see how your arm is doing."
Gu Yu's trembling legs finally calmed down. She snorted at Junze with a stern look, lifted up her long sleeves, and let Dr. Liu untie the cloth in circles.
Doctor Liu gently pinched the injured area, asked her some questions, and then turned around and replied to the Holy Emperor: "It's nothing serious. If you take good care of it, you will be able to recover as before."
The Holy Emperor nodded: "That's good. If nothing happens, just retreat."
The two resigned.
Gu Yu now regarded Junze as the God of Plague, and left quickly as soon as he left the palace gate, leaving the slow Junze far behind.
The sky was high and the clouds were clear, the midday sun lazily shone on the spacious palace, and her whole body was bathed in brilliance.
This morning was really thrilling, but it would be nice to leave a good impression on the Holy Father. Thinking of this, my feet felt relaxed.
Junze looked at her back from a distance. The wind in Kyoto was very strong. Gu Yu's long black hair was tied into a ponytail and scattered behind her back.
She has a slender figure, and her green clothes are swaying in the wind, as if she will be swept into the wind at the next moment, and become a fairy.
Such a brilliant person should not enter a court full of intrigues and mud.
Junze narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously rubbed the ring on his hand.
As if sensing something, Gu Yu felt a chill running down her spine and turned around subconsciously, only to see Junze's red dress on the red wall, like a bit of cinnabar deep between the brows of the palace, dazzling and dazzling.
Looking at each other from a distance, although Gu Yu couldn't see his features clearly, she could smell the danger.
----------------------------------------
Returning to the Duke's Mansion, Gu Yu first went to the eldest lady to answer the question. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he heard his aunt scolding and his sister Gu Qiong crying. Gu Yu walked over quickly.
Gu Qiong's face, which is very similar to hers, is full of pear blossoms and rain. Unlike Gu Yu, she is dressed in a delicate yellow dress, like spring apricots whose branches cannot withstand the strong wind, which is charming.
Seeing Gu Yu coming over, he threw himself into her arms and burst into tears and said, "Brother, you have to make the decision for me."
Gu Yu's identity as a woman was hidden even from her younger sister. Seeing this, she carefully pushed her away, wiped her tears, and asked, "What's going on?"
Aunt Su came over, took her hand and cursed: "Dong Changmao, the man who killed a thousand swords, has delayed your sister for so long, and has not passed her filial piety, and now he is hooking up with Princess Songyang."
A ball of fire suddenly arose in Gu Yu's heart. Dong Changmao was the man who was engaged to his sister. He was the eldest son of the Qing family of Taipu Temple. He took part in the imperial examination a few years ago and won the title of civil servant. Aunt Su saw him on behalf of her sister.
She had always felt that Dong Changmao had evil intentions. Unfortunately, Aunt Su was instigated by Dong Changmao's aunt, and in a moment of fever, she secretly exchanged tokens with him. Knowing that the deal was already done, she could only pay the betrothal gift when her sister was sixteen, and agreed to get married the following year.
Unexpectedly, Dong Changmao's aunt died of illness during the Chinese New Year. He had to observe mourning for three years, and his sister could only wait, dragging her into what the world calls an "old girl."
After all, Gu Yu was worried about Dong Changmao's character, so she secretly sent someone to keep an eye on the Dong Mansion. When she saw the boy kneeling beside him, who was exactly the person she sent, she said, "What did you see? Tell me."
The young man bowed his body and said to Gu Yu: "As for the prince, I have a fellow countryman who is in charge of carriages and horses in Master Dong's house. Recently, I found that Mr. Dong has gone out to meet Princess Songyang many times.
He told Xiao Xiao about this, but Xiao Xiao didn't believe it at first. Today, the fellow villager sent news again, so Xiao Xiao followed him. All the way to the plum forest on the outskirts, he didn't expect that Princess Songyang was really waiting there. Mr. Dong and Mr.
The princess behaved intimately after meeting each other, even..."
Gu Yu couldn't help but get angry: "Even what? Say it quickly."
"He even said that once the filial piety period is over, he will find a reason to come to the palace to cancel the engagement, and he was disrespectful to the second young lady many times in his words."
The eldest lady was also very angry. She leaned on the bed and coughed several times. Gu Yu went over to calm her down.
The eldest lady said bitterly: "Yu'er, have you seen that Dong Changmao deceived my father-in-law to have no one, and now he is clinging to the princess, and he doesn't even look down on the noble concubines in the palace."
Gu Yu raised her head and met her mother's burning eyes, which were full of deep meaning. She knew that the eldest lady was trying to give her a hint.
So he knelt down beside his mother's bed and said in a deep voice: "My son understands that today's humiliation will be kept in my heart."
If her father Gu Junyi was still alive, the eldest son of a concubine from the third-grade Taipusi Qing family would not be qualified to lead horses for the prince.
Nowadays, the palace of the Duke of Guo is in a state of neglect. Dong Changmao, a small official who does not even have an official status, dares to pick and choose the ladies of the Duke's Palace.
Hearing what Gu Yu said, the eldest lady nodded slightly: "As long as you understand."
Gu Yu turned around and said to Aunt Su and Gu Qiong:
"Auntie, sister, don't worry, Dong Changmao is a heartless person. I will definitely make him pay the price, vent his anger on my sister, and then come to the door in person and throw back the betrothal gift."
Seeing that she had a plan in mind, the eldest lady also said to them: "Since Yu'er said this, you can rest assured that our family will never do any business."
After taking a breath, the eldest lady said again: "Qiong'er, don't worry about getting married. If you don't have this one, you will have something better waiting in front of you. Aunt Su, you can go and see it boldly, but don't worry about Qiong'er because of her age.
Just look down on yourself, and if you meet someone suitable, it won't be a problem even if you ask the imperial concubine to come forward."
Aunt Su and Gu Qiong choked and agreed. Gu Yu coaxed them for a while, and then the eldest lady asked them to go back and wait for news.
