In front, Xiao Shoufu, who had been silent the entire time, exchanged glances with the Minister of Revenue, Wang Kangyin.
Wang Kangyin nodded slightly.
Just now, Eunuch He’s “Second Lady Gu” confirmed his guess.
Xiao Shoufu frowned slightly, his face as dark as water. His sharp eyes looked at Gu Yanfei again.
On the ninth day of the new year, he and Wang Kangyin weren’t at Chengtian Gate, but they asked about the situation after that.
The person who broke up the situation was Second Lady Gu. Using the Blood Gu in the Eldest Princess as a fuse, she dragged the Qing and Yu families into the water step by step, turning the good situation upside down. She even made the Eldest Prince take the opportunity to kill the capital’s magistrate, Feng He. In just a day, this little girl had destroyed the Yu and Feng families in one go.
It was fine if it was unintentional, but if it was intentional..
Xiao Shoufu’s heart sank, and a thick haze appeared in his eyes. The corners of his lips were as tense as iron.
The needle on the compass spun non-stop.
The hall became even quieter.
Several thoughtful eyes glanced at Chu Yi, who was beside Gu Yanfei.
After a while, the needle on the compass stopped.
“Oh! ‘
Gu Yanfei looked at Censor Lian on the ground and then at the compass in his palm. She smiled with interest and muttered, ‘The adulterer’s door is green, and the main wife’s illness… This hexagram is a Gu. The cause of the illness is from within. The lower hexagram is Dui, and the inner hexagram is Xun. However, mutual hurdles have appeared. The hurdles are water, and mutual vibrations are the practice…”
What did he mean?! Xiao Shoufu and the other officials looked at each other in surprise.
However, Chu Yi’s eyes curled up happily.
Gu Yanfei skillfully kept the compass in her sleeve and slowly took two steps closer to Censor Lian, who was lying on the ground. She raised her foot and kicked the other party’s calf.
At the same time, two words came out of her full, pink lips. “Lung consumption.”
Her voice wasn’t particularly loud, but it was enough for the people on the ground to hear her clearly.
Even the censor’s eyes, which had been motionless, trembled slightly. Even his fingers, which were exposed outside his sleeves, trembled.
At this moment, looking at Censor Lian, Gu Yanfei felt less disdainful.
Death was survival.
Although this person was a little unlawful and had been used by others, he could barely be considered pitiful.
Gu Yanfei looked down at him and kicked the other party’s knee lightly. She said calmly,
“I can treat it.”
In just a few words, the confidence and arrogance that came from the heart were undoubtedly revealed.
Even the censor’s closed eyelids trembled again as if they were spasming. Then, he slowly and strenuously opened his eyes.
Those dazed and turbid eyes were filled with blood vessels like a spider web. The dim pupils gradually condensed into a brilliance called vitality, as if a half-dead person had been forcefully dragged back to the mortal world.
Eunuch He was overjoyed and quickly reported to the Emperor, “Emperor, Lord
Lian is awake!”
There was an uproar.
Even the censor didn’t hear the commotion. He stared at Gu Yanfei in a daze. A trace of hope appeared in his gray eyes, as if a drowning person had grabbed a
piece of driftwood.
“Can you really… cure my old wife’s consumption?” The censor’s lips, which had turned pale from excessive blood loss, trembled as he asked.
The incident at Chengtian Gate made the name “Second Lady Gu” resound throughout the court. Almost everyone in the court knew that it was Second
Lady Gu from the Dingyuan Marquis Household who cured the Eldest Princess. Even the censor knew about this.
Second Lady Gu had just told him that she could cure him.
*Bang! Bang! *
Even the censor’s originally weak heartbeat became stronger bit by bit, as if a divine pill called hope had been injected into his body.
His old wife had suffered with him for most of her life. It wasn’t easy for her to get better now, but she had a terminal illness like tuberculosis. tuberculosis was a wealthy illness that kept her alive with medicine.
The older his wife was, the more ill she became. However, the medicinal herbs were expensive. His family was already struggling to make ends meet, but this expensive medicinal herb was priceless in the market and couldn’t be obtained evewwhere…
“I don’t need ginseng.” Gu Yanfei tilted her head and smiled at the person on the ground. It was as if a breeze had brushed past the green mountains and rivers. There was also a faint and refreshing wine fragrance floating on his body. “How is it? Do you want to believe me…”
“Or should I continue to lie here and wait for death?”
A doctor was benevolent. If she could save him, she would. However, if he refused to repent, she wouldn’t insist on saving him.
She wasn’t a Buddhist cultivator who could save all living beings.
” ” The censor clenched his fists and immediately sat up with difficulty from the pool of blood. He staggered a little..
