At this point, he could only pray that no miracle would happen, otherwise, he would have to use more straightforward methods.
It is said that whatever you fear will come, at this moment, Gu Jinxiu understood it deeply.
While he was restlessly waiting for the diagnosis and treatment results of the old imperial doctor, good news came from the main hospital, saying that the eldest princess was saved.
Gu Jinxiu was stunned at that time, and his whole body couldn't control the weak trembling. How could it be possible
How is it possible to save it
If the eldest princess knew that she was not actually sick, but was poisoned, then...
Calm down, don't panic...
Gu Jinxiu closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Why are you panicking
So what if she knew
He is now in great power and controls all her military power, while the other half of the military power in the Imperial City is in Zhuer's hands.
Compared to the eldest princess, Zhu'er will definitely stand on his side. The worst case scenario is that she will directly break up with him and suppress the eldest princess with force.
After steadying his mind, Gu Jinxiu took a breath, stood up and headed towards the main courtyard.
After going there, he saw that the old imperial doctor had changed into a Taoist robe and was doing something. Gu Jinxiu's eyes twitched. Why did he feel that the style of painting was a little wrong.
"This is?"
He suppressed his doubts and asked aloud, "Aren't you treating the eldest princess? What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Feng Lingge's eyes flickered, and she said, "Reporting to the regent, the imperial doctor said that His Highness is not sick, but possessed by an evil spirit. Therefore, we need to perform rituals to exorcise His Highness from the evil spirit. As long as the evil spirit is exorcised, Your Highness will be fine."
Gu Jinxiu:…
Previously, he was worried that this was some kind of hermit master, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a daring liar. He couldn't even tell whether he was poisonous or evil, and he dared to come to the eldest princess's mansion to cheat. Brain, how dare you be so unafraid of death
But that's okay, let him do it. After he finishes his ritual work, the eldest princess should also die.
For the sake of not ruining his good deeds, he could spare this old liar's life.
Looking at his expression, Feng Lingge could roughly guess what he was thinking, and she laughed coldly in her heart.
I want to wait for my sister-in-law to die in the next life.
Her eyes fell on the old imperial doctor who was performing a ritual. This old imperial doctor was indeed newly hired into the palace. Since he had just entered the palace to work, it was not surprising that Gu Jinxiu had never seen him before.
Last night, she hypnotized the old imperial doctor and told him that the eldest princess was not ill, but possessed by an evil spirit. She asked him to come to the eldest princess's house to perform rituals, and he would definitely make the eldest princess get better and bring her to the world. The steps and methods of doing things were explained to him.
The old imperial doctor only thought that he was dreaming about gods, and then he thought about saving the eldest princess, but no one could resist the temptation of gaining both fame and fortune.
So, he plucked up the courage to risk beheading, so he thought of taking a gamble.
Anyway, at his age, if he really cured the eldest princess, it would be a matter of honor for his family, and future generations would be able to follow suit.
If it is not cured, the worst case scenario is that I will be beheaded. I have given up my old life. No matter how I calculate the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, I am willing to risk everything. That is why everything is happening today.
The ritual was quickly completed, and Feng Lingge gave the old imperial doctor a large reward, and promised that if the eldest princess gets better, she will receive another generous reward.
The old imperial doctor took the reward and left with a smile on his face.
Perhaps he was prepared to lose his head before coming, so the old imperial doctor didn't seem to be nervous at all about the eldest princess's follow-up situation.
Gu Jinxiu, who had been watching the whole process, felt completely relieved when he saw the old imperial doctor leaving.
After that, he went to the eldest princess's bedroom, intending to pay routine attention.
His wife was about to die, so of course he, the husband, would accompany her. Otherwise, how could he maintain the character of this affectionate consort
Of course, he was just acting and had no intention of actually accompanying the eldest princess. Therefore, before going, he specifically told his confidants that after he entered for a while, he would go to him and tell him that there were urgent state affairs to be dealt with.
The eldest princess cares about the country of the Northern Dynasty. If she hears that there are urgent state affairs, she will definitely drive him away to deal with state affairs.
These days, he has used this trick many times to avoid Zhuer who accompanied the eldest princess who was lying in bed and went to the palace to find him.
In the bedroom, the sick eldest princess did not fall asleep as usual. Instead, she held a book and leaned on the beauty couch by the window. Although she was in good spirits, her face was worse than before.
A word suddenly popped into Gu Jinxiu's mind, and he recalled it.
Her appearance really looked like a flashback, and it seemed that it had only happened in the past two days.
"Why didn't you fall asleep today?"
He walked over calmly and sat next to her. Yun Xi looked away from the book and said thoughtfully, "Well, I'm not sleepy. I think I may be getting better."
Ah…
Gu Jinxiu laughed coldly in his heart, it was impossible to get better, but what he said was completely different.
He smiled softly and said, "That's great. I knew you would be fine. You will definitely get better."
Yun Xi lowered her head, her eyes continued to fall on the book, and she gave a faint hum.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Jinxiu reached out and took the book away from her hand, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly froze.
This is a very famous storybook from the Northern Dynasties. It mainly tells the story of a poor scholar who married into a wealthy businessman's family, and secretly had an affair with Bai Yueguang's wife and sister-in-law, causing the father-in-law's family to turn upside down.
I didn't think it was anything before, but now that I look at it, why do I feel that it fits so well with him and Shen Zhuji
Especially when he saw this storybook appearing in the hands of the eldest princess, he felt inexplicably guilty.
He closed the storybook and threw it aside, "What do you think of such boring and vulgar things?"
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes and said with unclear meaning, "I've heard this story told before. I'm just curious about what will happen to the immature Chen Sheng and the ungrateful Sanniang."
Chen Sheng and Sanniang are the male and female protagonists in this story, the poor scholar who married his wife and sister-in-law regardless of moral ethics, and the wife and sister-in-law who intentionally or unintentionally seduced her husband's sister-in-law.
Gu Jinxiu felt extremely uncomfortable, but his expression didn't show it at all, "This is just a story, it can't be true, but..."
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What would happen if you were Lin Yueyi in this book?"
Lin Yueyi was Chen Sheng's original wife, the young lady who was looking for a son-in-law from a wealthy businessman's family.
"Why do you ask that?"
Yun Xi raised her eyelids, her eyes so dark that she couldn't see to the end, "Could it be that you are the Chen Sheng in this story?"
Even Yun Xi was extremely surprised and felt that this story was probably written after Gu Jinxiu and Shen Zhuji. Otherwise, how could it be so similar
