"...You temptress...Say..." The middle-aged man was also on the verge of emotional collapse. He didn't even care about Gu Shiba Niang's muttering to herself, and shook her like crazy, "Maybe this is your next step." If you die, the curse will be solved..."
He seemed to have found the root of the matter, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. Before he finished speaking, Gu Shiba Niang grabbed her hand and bit her bitterly. The severe pain made him subconsciously shake it off.
"Shut up," Gu Shiba Niang shouted fiercely, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.
The chamberlain who was leaning against the bookshelf and crying happened to look over at this moment, and couldn't help but screamed in fright at her ferocious look.
"Shut up," Gu Shiba Niang grabbed her shoes and threw them at him, yelling once again.
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and the only sound was the rapid breathing of the three people.
"Killing me will lead to death." Gu Shiba Niang sneered, stretched out her hands to rub her face, wiped away the blood, and glanced at the two of them, "Say, what's going on? Is it illness? Or poisoning? What's the matter? Are you going to live or die?"
This kind of attitude and this kind of questioning...
The middle-aged man and the waiter were a little dumbfounded. This bold and arrogant woman
"So you don't know?" A trace of anger appeared on the middle-aged man's face, grabbing onto Gu Shiba's words.
Could it be that he was a gambler
"I know he is going to die, but I don't know how he died." Gu Shiba Niang was also a little anxious.
The waiter's face turned green. This mouthful was enough to make her head fall off several times.
"He died of illness..." A cold voice suddenly sounded.
The three people who were glaring at each other couldn't help but shudder and looked towards the bed at the same time.
At some point, Prince Wen opened his eyes and looked at them slightly.
"Prince..." The three of them knelt down in a hurry.
"Prince, you're finally awake..." The chamberlain and the middle-aged man looked excited, kneeling and taking a few steps forward.
"I'm so scared to death..." the chambermaid began to cry.
Prince Wen's face was full of weariness, and he gave a faint expression of gratitude, looking at the excited middle-aged man kneeling there.
The middle-aged man immediately understood what he meant.
"Prince, I did as you said, and the news was not revealed..." He said hurriedly. Halfway through his words, he thought of something and his eyes fell on Gu Shiba Niang, who was kneeling there quietly, with a trace of fierceness flashing in his eyes. .
"This woman..." Prince Wen glanced at Gu Shiba Niang, and said slowly in a cold and emotionless voice, "Why are you making so much noise here?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly lowered his head. At this moment, he felt that his behavior this time was too reckless, but he was really desperate.
"Please punish me, the prince, and I will deal with it properly..." he whispered.
Gu Shiba Niang, who was kneeling aside with her head bowed, sneered in her heart.
Prince Wen didn't speak anymore, and there was silence in the room.
"Prince...what do you need?" the servant asked carefully, kneeling down to get warm water from the stove nearby.
"You guys go down first." Prince Wenjun said suddenly.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They hurriedly kowtowed and stood up and stepped back. The servant was in front, Gu Shiba Niang was second, and the middle-aged man was last.
"Gu Xiang, please wait a moment." Prince Wen said again.
The three of them were even more stunned. After a slight hesitation, Gu Shiba Niang responded and knelt down again on the spot, watching the middle-aged man and the servant go out.
There is a heater in the room, which adds warmth to the room in autumn.
Gu Shiba Niang was sweating heavily on her forehead, and all sorts of thoughts were running through her mind, but Prince Wen didn't ask her for a while.
"Have you thought about what to say?" It seemed like a long time passed before King Wenjun said calmly in front of him.
He naturally meant that he had thought about how to escape unharmed this time... Gu Shiba Niang's hand on her knee stiffened slightly before she opened her mouth to speak.
"Bring water." Prince Wen said again, standing up and sitting up.
Gu Shiba Niang was startled before she hurriedly responded, carefully took the copper kettle from the stove, warmed the tea cup with water first, then poured water, held it in both hands and walked to the bedside with her head bowed, and knelt down.
King Wenjun leaned on the soft pillow and waited for a moment before taking it. His hands trembled slightly, and water droplets fell on the brocade quilt.
Gu Shiba Niang looked at the water droplets and felt frightened.
"Can't you see the imperial doctor..." She couldn't help but raise her head and ask.
Since he is ill, the Imperial Hospital gathers the world's top doctors just for the use of royal nobles like him. How could he be so ill and hide away from others
"It's not that I can't..." Prince Wenjun took a sip of water and said slowly, "It's that I have seen..."
Even the imperial doctors can’t treat it well
"What disease is it?" Gu Shiba Niang asked.
Prince Wen handed over the teacup and she reached out to take it.
"No disease." Prince Wen looked at her and replied coldly.
The poison is invisible, the disease is harmless.
From the poison in Liu Gong's body and her own personal experience, Gu Shiba Niang understood this very well. She couldn't help but look sad. Even the hospital couldn't treat the disease...
"To be honest, my illness is caused by congenital deficiencies. I have been taking good care of my body, so it is not a problem. It was just an accident a few years ago..." Prince Wenjun looked away from her and leaned on the soft pillow. Unexpectedly, The word crossed his lips with a deep chill, "It caused an old disease, so I searched for famous doctors and tried all the good medicines..."
"What's the result?" Gu Shiba Niang knelt down and asked again.
Prince Wen looked at her and smiled, "As a result, I became more and more sleepy day by day, until I fell asleep and never woke up."
He was smiling, but Gu Shiba Niang felt a chill.
"However, now that I have come this far, I can never let go. Even if I die, I will die..." He looked over, his eyes like lightning, "So, do you understand?"
For the royal family, they will never choose a person with a physical condition to be the prince. Therefore, once the news is revealed, the person who will be canonized as the prince next month will definitely not be him.
So King Wenjun, who has come this far, will never let this happen...
So anyone who threatens this secret will disappear….
So this is a necessary choice with inevitable consequences….
Gu Shiba Niang looked at him with a calm expression.
"I can't die." She said suddenly.
Prince Wen looked at her and said nothing.
"You can't die either." Gu Shiba Niang met his gaze and said firmly.
"Is it because of your brother or something?" Prince Wenjun suddenly smiled, "Gu Xiang, I think you understand that our lives are in our own hands and have nothing to do with others."
His words made Gu Shiba Niang slightly surprised. She had some thoughts that needed further analysis, but she couldn't care about them now.
"So I want to fight for myself. Why do you give up like this, Prince?" she said, "There must be a way..."
"Is there any way?" Prince Wenjun asked with a smile.
Gu Shiba Niang bit her lower lip and said nothing. She had no choice... The imperial doctors had not been able to cure the disease long ago, but now they could not go to the doctors for treatment in a big way... they could only wait for death...
"Is the position of prince more important than life?" she couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think?" Prince Wen asked.
"I think life is important. Without life, everything is meaningless." Gu Shiba Niang looked up at him and said.
"Then what's the point of putting medicine into that man's pot at the Great Medicine Conference?" Prince Wen looked at her and smiled lightly.
"I..." Gu Shiba Niang was speechless.
"Life is very important, but people don't live for the sake of living." Prince Wenjun tilted his head back slightly, as if he was a little tired, and closed his eyes, "What fireworks want is the brilliance of that moment. Can you say it doesn't make sense?"
This is also a person who is extremely stubborn and arrogant. This is a person who wants to be brilliant even if he dies. He will never give up the status he has worked hard for, and then live in a lonely state.
In other words, the path he takes is destined to only move forward and not backward. Once he retreats, he will be trampled on by others in an instant, and he will never have the slightest chance to recuperate and plan for the future.
Gu Shiba Niang's tears fell slowly.
"But why do we have to die..." She murmured, "It's almost winter, everything is killing us. We can hide for a while, but we can't hide from this life of insects... We can't hide, we can't hide..."
Her face was pale, but she seemed to have no strength to cry.
"Go ahead..." King Wenjun said calmly, closing his eyes and taking something out from under the pillow, "Take it to Mr. Yang."
Gu Shiba Niang took it silently, did not look at it or spoke any more, stood up and walked out.
Seeing her in despair, the chamberlain was startled and rushed in as if something had happened to Prince Wen.
"Sleeping..." He quickly turned back, he couldn't tell whether he was relieved or relieved, and said with a look that made him want to cry and laugh at the same time.
The middle-aged man was relieved, sighed again, looked at Gu Shiba Niang, and snorted coldly.
Ever since they had interacted with her once, he subconsciously did not treat this girl as a little girl. She must have understood that she would definitely die this time.
Only the mouths of the dead are closed the tightest.
"It turns out that he is a fierce person on the outside and soft on the inside. How can there be anyone in this world who is not afraid of death? Look at how scared he is..." he said with ridicule.
Thinking that bringing Gu Shiba Niang here this time was completely ridiculous and useless, I couldn't help but feel extremely angry. I also hated myself and Gu Ba Niang.
It must be this witch who uttered curses that caused today's disaster...
"Come with me. I'll give you a ride. You're lucky to be alive." The middle-aged man said coldly.
"Ms. Gu, our county king treats you..." The chamberlain gently wiped her tears aside and said softly, "...it is our honor as slaves to be loyal to the county king..."
Gu Shiba Niang ignored their words. She only felt deep tiredness coming over her. In this case, at least, she would not die as an abandoned wife anymore, and at least her brother and mother would die due to the plague. It was a peaceful death.
This fate is helpless, right? In the end, their family did not jump into the destined pit again. This bet was inherently unfair, so their loss was not too miserable.
Gu Shiba Niang took a deep breath, a smile appeared on her face, and then she realized that there was something else in her hand, so she threw it away.
"Your master gave it to you," she said, with a hint of disdain in her words, "I wish you both life and death and will be reunited in the next life."
No matter how desperate these people were, as innocent people, she had no reason to be grateful to them.
"You're going to die but you're still talking tough," the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and shouted, taking it.
It was a bright yellow brocade bag. He was stunned and poured out a square gold medal with a huge seal script on it.
amnesty.
"This...this..." The middle-aged man lost his voice in surprise. How could it be a pardon and avoidance of death card? Could it be that the prince wanted to let the girl go
"What?" Gu Shiba Niang was attracted by his surprise and lost her sight, and asked in confusion.
"You...did you steal this?" the middle-aged man asked through gritted teeth.
"I stole it?" Gu Shiba Niang was angry and funny.
The chamberlain also came over to take a look, "Yeah, it's the pardon and avoid death card..."
There was also a look of surprise on his face, but then he wiped away his tears and said softly, "I knew our prince was a passionate person..."
He walked over a few steps, looked at Gu Shiba Niang and said solemnly, "Good girl, if the king treats you like this, you can't betray his kindness in the future. If that happens in the future, you...you have to...Old slave I will arrange your posthumous affairs..."
After all, the king of the county was still here, so he couldn't say anything unlucky about being buried or something like that, so he could only leave it at that.
What was he nagging about? Gu Shiba Niang frowned and looked at the middle-aged man holding the sign with a pale face and a stiff face.
"You mean I... don't have to die?" she asked tentatively.
The middle-aged man's face stiffened, and he reluctantly but helplessly spat out the word "yes" from between his teeth.
After receiving the confirmation, Gu Shiba Niang couldn't help but look behind the layers of bookshelves, feeling complicated and unspeakable.
He actually wants to let himself go
He actually trusted himself to keep it a secret
Various things flashed through his mind, but the one that finally settled on him was the Qingjun student who was slowly coming to the Xianren County School.
He was shocked to find that whether he or his brother had met Prince Wen only a few times, they always happened to be at critical moments. No matter it was due to various unexplained interests, he was finally there. Reach out to help and pull them back from the turning point of fate.
Gu Shiba's tears welled up again, and she knelt down and kowtowed heavily.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Gu's alley.
"You'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise your whole family..." the middle-aged man said coldly in a low voice.
"Idiot..." Gu Shiba Niang raised an eyebrow at him and said two words coldly.
Since he was born, this was the first time for a middle-aged man to hear someone call him a fool, and he was still a woman of his age. He suddenly turned pale and said, "How bold!"
"Stop shouting. If someone finds out, it's not my fault." Gu Shiba Niang glanced at him lightly, got up and got out of the car.
The carriage shook a few times, made a muffled sound, and quickly moved away.
The door of the Gu family was closed, and Gu Shiba Niang stood outside the door and let out a breath. Lingbao must have been frightened because of what happened that night.
Everyone was shocked when they saw her come back.
"There was an adult in the family who was in a hurry for medicine, so he resorted to extreme measures..." Gu Shiba Niang simply explained her whereabouts to the servants surrounding her.
Before coming back, the fool who had recklessly kidnapped her had already had her groomed and dressed up. In addition, it was already cold, so she wore a high-collared shirt that covered the injury on her neck.
Apart from his slightly haggard look, there really wasn't anything unusual about him.
"How can you invite someone like this? It's like kidnapping..."
"Then what can be done? Those noble people are acting arrogantly..."
"No, I heard that the famous old doctor was wrapped in a quilt and carried away for diagnosis..."
The servants breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how rich a craftsman is, it is an unchangeable fact that his status is low. They all discussed and left.
"Where is Lingbao?" Gu Shiba Niang never saw Lingbao, thinking that she was frightened and fell ill in bed, so she asked hurriedly.
"Miss Lingbao and Doctor Peng went out to find the girl..." the servants replied.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion outside the door.
"It's Lingbao who's back, right?" Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile.
"Miss, miss..." The two families almost crawled in, "The madam and the young master are back..."
What? Gu Shiba Niang could hardly believe her ears.

It’s rare that I finish writing early and finally don’t have to stay up late. I haven’t slept before twelve o’clock for more than a month. I just shed tears and watch TV.
