The old doctor was a little stressed looking at the people in the room. He carefully took her pulse twice before saying, "I think the medicine is working. This kind of sleepiness is good. It's best not to wake her up and let her wake up naturally."
Hua Pingyu asked, "Does that mean Zhi'er is recovering?"
"Yes." The old doctor was still a little unwilling and asked again, "Is the medicine really gone? I dare not be greedy. I just want to take a look at it and study it. Maybe I can get some inspiration. Even if I can't make such a miracle medicine, it would be good if it can play a small role."
Gu Yanxi shook his head and didn't explain much. Fortunately, the old doctor was an open-minded person and didn't care, but he felt a little regretful.
Hua Pingyu asked someone to send the old doctor away, and signaled everyone else to disperse, leaving the room to Lu Yanxi. A person's character can be seen most clearly in times of adversity, and Lu Yanxi had passed this hurdle with him.
In the quiet room, Gu Yanxi held Ah Zhi's hand and kissed the scar on her back, smiling, "You are almost as injured as Shaoyao, please don't add more in the future."
Smiling again, Gu Yanxi said, "But I won't dislike you, no matter what."
"If I had known, I would have let Shaoyao follow you... No, if I had known, I would not have left your side. You said you got hurt when no one was protecting you, but you were also hurt when Shaoyao followed you, and now you're hurt again right under my nose. Why can't you avoid it?"
Gu Yanxi kissed her hand again and murmured, "Sometimes I would rather you didn't have those abilities. You have always known yourself. If that were the case, you probably wouldn't run around everywhere. You're afraid of becoming a burden to others, and you don't want to rely on others for everything. Don't you know that I can give you my life if you just say it casually?"
"Sometimes, I really want to tie you up to a place where no one knows you, and let Shaoyao feed you some of the medicine she takes, so that you can forget about the people and things you care about, and only rely on me, only look at me, and only think about me."
Gu Yanxi smiled, but his eyes were full of unmistakable seriousness. He really had thought about that, but no matter how much he planned, it couldn't compare to his desire to let Ah Zhi live the way she wanted.
Pressing Ah Zhi's hand to her chest, Gu Yanxi was so gentle that it seemed like honey could seep out. "Did you hear that? Every heartbeat is a call for Ah Zhi. I don't want you to pay me back so much. I will be satisfied if you can give me half of your heart. It's not greedy, right?"
Gu Yanxi spoke to herself, brushing away the hair on Ah Zhi's face, her eyes gradually turning helpless, "You..."
You always make me feel so sad that I want to give up this heart.
As the sun rose higher, the city became more and more lively, especially the area where the Hua family lived.
All the men in black were taken away by Wu Yong, but no one came to clean up the bloodstains on the street for a while. People who had seen it last night spared no effort to promote Hua Zhi. Hua Zhi, who was already famous, became even more famous when she was unconscious.
Following the rumors along the way, Wu Yong knocked on the door of the Hua family. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He didn't know how the Hua family educated their daughter. He really wanted to learn from them. If he unfortunately had no son to carry on the family business, he would not be afraid of having no successor with a daughter.
Seeing Hua Yizhen, whose temples had turned much whiter overnight, Wu Yong felt uncomfortable. Ever since Yinshan Pass became a place of exile, he had seen many criminals, both civil and military officials, who had once been in high positions, becoming ordinary people after falling from a high position. Even worse, some of them suffered even more because of their political enemies.
The Hua family was the most peaceful family he had ever seen. It was impossible for them not to have resentment in their hearts, but they just endured it. Even if the hands that held the pen had to pick up the hoe and shovel, and their hands were covered with blisters, they still endured it. At least they never complained to the outside world.
Later, after Hua Zhi's visit, he calmed down even more and was more active in gaining his foothold. He also bought a large amount of rice paper through the steward of the Guard's Mansion. Later, he learned that they had copied out many classics from memory, and even those boys had contributed. Through this method and by finding ways to buy, the large bookshelf customized by the Hua family was full, and they started to put things on the second large bookshelf.
Old Master Hua easily worked out a complete framework system for him. While implementing these, he surveyed the entire Yinshan Pass. He was mentally prepared for the possibility of spies, but he never expected to find so many.
Such large-scale inspections happen every year. Last year, only one person was found. This time, it was conducted two months earlier, but the result was like this!
He had his reasons for this. When he was poisoned, he had indeed relaxed in all aspects. However, he did not expect that in less than a year, the Yinshan Pass that had been guarded by the Wu family for generations would become a sieve. He did not expect that the other party would actually target the Hua family for revenge.
Or maybe it was a warning to him.
No matter what, this matter has something to do with him, so he feels even more guilty.
"Old man, I..."
Hua Yizheng shook his hand, "I can tell who is right and who is wrong, General Wu, there is no need to do this."
"It's my fault for not thinking it through. You don't have to make excuses for me, old man." Wu Yong smiled bitterly. Hua Yizheng could naturally think of what he could think of. "Is the eldest lady awake?"
"No, the doctor said to let her wake up on her own." Hua Yi was waving his hand to invite him, and Wu Yong made way. The two of them walked towards the main house one after the other. That was the house where Hua Yi originally lived, and now Hua Zhi lived there.
The door was open. Gu Yanxi was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Hua Pingyu was sitting at the octagonal table. Neither of them spoke.
Seeing the two people coming in, Hua Pingyu stood up and greeted them, "General Wu."
Wu Yong nodded and looked at Gu Yanxi, "Brother Shi."
Gu Yanxi didn't even bother to look at him, and said directly: "Catch those nine people, check the people coming in and out, and bring Zeng Xian here."
"Zeng Xian?"
"Zeng Xian's son sent a letter to Azhi saying that the Hua family is in danger." Gu Yanxi finally withdrew her gaze from Hua Zhi and looked at Wu Yong calmly, "Zeng Xian is closely related to this matter."
"Then why would he..."
Why? Because Ah Zhi treated him as a human being, because Ah Zhi had sympathy for the weak, because Ah Zhi only cared for him as an old friend because of Zheng Zhi, and because Ah Zhi cared about his son.
Gu Yanxi closed her eyes and said, "Screen Yinshan Pass again, and filter it thoroughly!"
Faced with Master Gu who was on the verge of an outburst, Wu Yong didn't dare to ask any more questions and just left. He suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the person behind the scenes. Master Gu obviously intended to get to the bottom of it, and this time, he was afraid that nothing could stop him.
But, you deserve it.
PS: What moved me the most was not the fight two days ago, but Gu Yanxi's voice of "you...". I burst into tears when I typed these two words.
