Mr. Gu tried his best to put aside the matter of Gu Qiancheng rescuing people, but Gu Qiancheng had already said his words, how could he take them back.
The reward he was talking about was not what Gu Qiancheng wanted. After Gu Qiancheng thanked the old emperor, he did not stand up. Instead, he bowed down again with a gesture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat: "Your Majesty, if I can cure your empress' illness, I will give you a reward." Can I ask for a favor?"
As soon as Gu Qiancheng's words came out, the old man was stunned. He didn't care about the emperor's presence. He quickly looked up at Gu Qiancheng and called out in warning: "Qiancheng..." Do you know what you are talking about
The old man was speechless and collapsed on the ground. His legs had no strength at all.
Just when Gu Qiancheng was wondering what the old emperor meant, after thinking for a while, the old emperor finally relented: "I'm sure!"
With Gu Qiancheng's status, if she rejected the Feng family, who else could she marry
"Since you have this intention, I will help you. I will allow you to treat the imperial concubine. If the treatment is not good, you will be buried with her. If the treatment is good, I will reward you heavily." The old emperor was also generous, but...
The old man felt panicked after hearing this, and he felt more and more regretful about bringing Gu Qiancheng here. But at this point, he couldn't change it at all, so he could only try his best to save it.
They are not princesses or princesses. They need to marry to appease the ministers. The old emperor has no interest in the marriage of a small prince's daughter.
Is he still looking down on Qiancheng
Not many people dare to bet their lives on a chance to see a doctor.
"It's too early to thank you. If I can't cure your concubine's life, I will still sacrifice your life." It's just an insignificant matter. The old emperor is more worried about Concubine Gu's condition...
The emperor was stunned for a moment and then said: "Death? What is your life worth?"
As it happens, this is what Gu Qiancheng is not worried about.
"Is it urgent?" This explanation was acceptable, and the old emperor nodded: "It's true that you have a good intention. No wonder the imperial concubine has always said that this niece in the house is good. When we met today, she really had a good intention."
Just saying nice things, everyone can...
Gu Qiancheng had already guessed that this would be the case. Instead of being afraid, Gu Qiancheng stated his request calmly: "My daughter is willing to ask the emperor, and my daughter is allowed to marry independently."
Gu Qiancheng secretly took a breath, calmed down his mind, and said in an almost sad tone: "If I go back to the emperor, I don't want this to happen, but... my family, the marriage they chose for me is really good. , I can’t reach such a high level.”
Of course, Lord Feng did not hide the fact from the old emperor that Gu Qiancheng refused such a marriage.
"I only ask the emperor to give me a chance. If I can't cure my mother's illness, I am willing to die to apologize." Gu Qiancheng seemed to have pushed himself into a desperate situation, but why didn't he let the old emperor see it? See how much she "respects" Gu Guifei.
"I will do my best to save the empress." Gu Qiancheng responded quickly and promptly, fearing that the old emperor would regret it. After regaining consciousness, Old Mrs. Gu knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he did not say a word and just looked at Gu Qiancheng. Cheng's eyes are a little more inquisitive and thoughtful...
"Worthless." At least in the eyes of the old emperor, killing her was as easy as crushing an ant.
Gu Qiancheng emphasized the word "high climb". She believed that since the old emperor knew that she had healed Feng Sijin's injury, he would also know that the Feng family proposed to marry her. She was the only one who refused such a marriage at that time. .
"Gu Qing, what's going on?" the old emperor said, with anger hidden in his mouth, and he felt like he was being fooled.
In this era, a woman's marriage determines the rest of her life, but a woman's marriage is never decided by herself.
"He is quite courageous." The old emperor had to admit that he once again looked at Gu Qiancheng with admiration.
"Your Majesty, this child has always been under strict control and has not been exposed to ordinary things. I heard that my Majesty was seriously ill, and I was very anxious. The old minister couldn't stand it anymore, so he had the nerve to take her into the palace and beg the Emperor to be kind and allow her to stay with him in the palace. Empress."
The old emperor pretended that he had not heard what Mrs. Gu said. After assessing the situation, Gu Qiancheng asked in a deep voice, "Gu Qiancheng, how confident are you that you can cure the imperial concubine?"
At this time, the old emperor was worried that no one could cure Concubine Gu. Since Gu Qiancheng jumped out, the old emperor would not let her go easily.
When Gu Qiancheng said that he would risk his life, he was completely confused. He had no idea what Gu Qiancheng was talking about, let alone observing the emperor's thoughts.
The old emperor would never allow the Feng family to be tied to the Gu family. Even if he favored Concubine Gu again, he would not make fun of Jiangshan Sheji. Gu Qiancheng's refusal was in line with the emperor's wishes.
The old emperor didn't know that it was just a trivial matter to him, but to Gu Qiancheng, it was a life-threatening matter. This time, Gu Qiancheng thanked me sincerely: "My lord, thank you for your kindness, long live long live. "
"My daughter is willing to die. I only hope that the empress can turn the crisis into peace." Gu Qiancheng said without thinking, and her words shocked not only Mrs. Gu, but also the emperor...
"When I return to the emperor, I need to see your empress's condition before she can make a diagnosis." Gu Qiancheng was also cautious. Concubine Gu pretended to be sick and was able to make sure that the imperial doctor could not make mistakes. She must have been fully prepared.
Although she has an arrogant temperament and does not know good from evil, she finally has a brain and knows who is kind to her, and she also knows how to reciprocate and not hide away when things happen.
"Marriage autonomy? Why do you have such rebellious thoughts?" The word "rebellious" fully shows the old emperor's displeasure...
Lord Feng had spoken to the old emperor about the matter between the Feng and Gu families in advance. Lord Feng wanted to tell the old emperor that the reason why the Feng family asked to marry the daughter of the Gu family was not because they wanted to support the fifth prince, but because they wanted to save their lives. Report.
The old man looked at Gu Qiancheng warningly, not allowing Gu Qiancheng to speak again.
The old emperor was immediately unhappy: "What if you can't cure it after seeing it?" What's the point of being a noble concubine in the palace? Want to watch it
"Grace? What grace do you want to ask for?" The joy in the old emperor's eyes suddenly disappeared.
The interaction between grandfather and grandson did not escape the eyes of the old emperor. The old emperor originally thought that Mrs. Gu recommended Gu Qiancheng to treat the imperial concubine, but now it seems that is not the case.
Please, Your Majesty, give me a chance to diagnose and treat your concubine!
As for the old man
As an emperor, in the eyes of the old emperor, he could not refuse anything he gave, and he could never ask for anything he didn't want to give. Gu Qiancheng's request made him very unhappy.
Marriage has been an important matter of parents since ancient times. The mediator said that by doing this, Gu Qiancheng was challenging the etiquette and the imperial power.
Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything, he just gave the old man a look of affirmation and knelt on the ground quietly, waiting for the old emperor's decision.
Mr. Gu was dripping with cold sweat, but he still wanted to make amends: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This grandson is worried about your mother's condition, so he took the initiative to seek medical treatment in a moment of urgency. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
With the words of the old emperor, not to mention Concubine Gu, even her biological father and stepmother could no longer manipulate her marriage and marry her to anyone at will.
Just as Gu Qiancheng thought, the old emperor also thought of this matter and said approvingly: "You are quite transparent."
