Princess Zhaorong didn't believe a word Gu Qingze said. She just wanted to find someone who would never collude with Gu Qingze and whom she could trust. And everyone present was the one she trusted. Father, Ning Guogong.
Ning Guogong never expected that Zhaorong would point at his head. He was stunned for a moment, then secretly happy in his heart, but he deliberately showed anger on his face and scolded Zhaorong.
"Nonsense! Zhaorong, you are getting more and more bold. You dare to trust even my father! After you left the capital, your father missed you and became ill. He didn't go to court for three years. After you returned to the capital, your father saw you. By the time you are safe and sound, your illness has been cured. No one in Kyoto knows about this! Didn’t you deliberately create problems for the ancient miracle doctor?”
Princess Zhaorong did not expect this, thinking that this was not a problem for the person named Gu. Her father clearly meant that his problem was too easy.
"Then the princess will be replaced by another person..." She was about to change her target.
Gu Qingze interrupted her coldly.
"No need! The princess is right. The Duke is indeed suffering from a strange disease, but this disease is not caused by missing you, princess."
His eyes fell on Ning Guogong, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "My lord, what kind of disease do you have, do you want the common people to tell it in public?"
Duke Ning Guo and Princess Zhaorong were both stunned.
Princess Zhaorong didn't believe what he said at all, and immediately shouted: "Okay, since you can see it, then you can tell me, huh! My father's body is something I know best, and he is not sick at all! You If you want to get away with it, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive the princess! "
Ning Guogong's face darkened and he shouted: "Zhaorong, shut up!"
He glared at Princess Zhaorong with complicated eyes, unable to tell whether he was angry or strange towards this precious daughter.
Zhaorong was glared at by his father, closed his mouth, and looked at Ning Guogong blankly, wondering what was wrong with him, did he really have a strange disease that he didn't know about
Ning Guogong moved his lips and looked at Gu Qingze but hesitated to speak.
Because what Gu Qingze said was absolutely correct. He was indeed suffering from a very strange disease. It was this strange disease that had tortured him for three years and prevented him from showing up in public.
Everyone outside said that he was sick because of his longing for women. This word reached his ears. Instead of avoiding the rumors, he sent people to spread the word in Kyoto. The news spread like wildfire, and everyone praised him as a good man. A loving and good father, but no one knows the real reason.
He was suffering from a strange disease, but he did not dare to call the imperial physician to treat him, because this strange disease was too difficult to talk about. If the imperial physician spread it, how would he, the Duke of Ningguo, save his dignity? How could he have the face to go out and see people
After Zhaorong returned to Beijing, he was overjoyed, felt comfortable, and even his spirit was much better. However, the strange disease that had tortured him for three years was not eliminated, but he tried every means to hide it.
The reason why he tried so hard to find out Gu Qingze's whereabouts and kept being humble and condescending to please him was all because of his hidden illness.
When Princess Zhaorong pointed out him just now, he felt very complicated.
I hope Gu Qingze can't see it, and I hope he can see what kind of disease he is suffering from.
At this time, when he heard Gu Qingze tell him that he had a strange disease, his heart couldn't help but beat with excitement, and his palms felt warm. He thought that he had finally met a miracle doctor and that his disease was cured!
