This king governs her, gives her no peace

  "Miss, miss, slow down..."

  Jin Wenyu saw that Gu Yingxue's pace was getting faster and faster, and finally couldn't help but shout out. Before the words had even fallen, the person in front of her slipped and fell with a thud.

  "Miss!"

  Jin Wen and Jin Xin stepped forward together to help him up, their faces full of concern. Gu Ying Xue stumbled and her face turned even paler, her usual elegant demeanor now tinged with urgency. "The Duke is injured!" she exclaimed.

  "Miss, don't worry, De Wang's martial arts are strong and he has experts protecting him, it's not that easy for him to get hurt. Let's slow down a bit, we'll arrive at Shui Yue Xuan soon!"

  Just half a moment ago, Chunsheng rushed to the East Warming Pavilion and said that when De Wang was watching the tiger, the hunting tiger suddenly became fierce and injured someone, so De Wang won't come tonight.

  Gu Yingxue's face changed immediately, and she asked where the person was. Chunsheng only said that he was in Suimonthuan, so she hurriedly rushed to Suimonthuan.

  When Gu Yingxue and her entourage arrived at the entrance of Su Yue Xuan, it was already packed with people. Gu Yingxue took a light glance around and saw Liu Shi, Zhen Shi, as well as the imperial physicians standing outside the courtyard gate, but there was no sign of anyone from the Duke's side.

  Gu Yingxue tidied up her clothes and walked closer, her voice still as elegant and flawless as ever, "How is it?"

  Liu's face turned even more worried as he saw Gu Yingxue arrive, "Ah, I don't know what to say, it's all unclear. I heard that Guan Hu's enclosure broke and now everyone is in the courtyard. When we arrived, the doctor had already gone in, so we don't know the specific situation."

  Just then, the courtyard gate creaked open and out came Gu De. He hastily glanced at Liu Shi and said, "Madam, quickly go invite Lady Luo from Meiyuan over!"

  This order is inexplicable, Liu was stunned for a moment, and Zhen Niang took a step forward to speak, "Hey, Gu, what's going on? Why do you still want to invite Luo Qingyi?"

  Luo Qingyi hasn't left Meiyuan for over a decade, so why is she doing so today?

  He let out a sigh, still somewhat fearful, and said, "Tonight, thanks to Second Miss's timely appearance, she took the place of De Wang and blocked that tiger's claw. Otherwise, De Wang would have been injured in the Prime Minister's residence, and would have been accused of plotting against his own brother, putting everyone in the Prime Minister's household in a precarious situation!"

  She paused for a moment, looking at the even more astonished crowd, and couldn't help but feel some anger. "Hurry up and invite her! The second young lady is seriously injured, but she refuses to let the doctor see her, insisting that she only wants Madame Luo. What are you all standing around for?"

  Liu's family hurriedly sent Xu Dama to invite Luo Qingyi, while Gu De returned to the yard after sighing again. At the moment when the courtyard door was closed, Gu Yingxue's face turned even paler.

  "Miss——"

  Jin Wen called out in concern, but Gu Yingxue's eyes were calm and didn't fluctuate at all.

  Gongsun Mo stood far away by the window, his eyes deeply fixed on Gu Yunxi, who was lying sideways on the bed, her back to him and her face outward. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, but she bit her lower lip tightly and didn't make a sound. She was curled up in Gongsun Mo's fox fur coat, like a dying small beast.

  "Your Highness, Master Xiang, Second Miss's injury cannot be delayed. The tiger's body has been carrying toxins all year round, and it was injured in the back near the heart and lungs. If not treated promptly, I'm afraid there will be concerns for her life!"

  The sound of the doctor's urgent voice came from outside the screen, and it was unclear why he had obviously suffered a serious injury but refused to be treated, insisting that his mother come instead - wasn't this just like a child's temperament?

  It's strange that this Lord didn't say a word, letting his own daughter make a scene, while the King who brought back Gu Yunxi stood by with a dark expression. The doctor was sweating profusely on his forehead. Now they're saying it can't be cured, what if something happens later? How many lives will he have to apologize for?

  Gu Zhongzheng couldn't help but keep glancing in the direction of Gong Sunmo, his face gradually breaking out in a cold sweat. Why didn't he let the doctor take a look? It was because Gu Yunxi's injury was on her back, and on her back, there was a secret that could not be revealed within the Prime Minister's residence.

  Time flies second by second, Gong Sun's eyes sank, and he suddenly walked around the screen and strode towards the doctor, "Give your medicine to Ben Wang, Ben Wang will treat her."

  Everyone in the room widened their eyes, and the doctor was shocked to raise his head, only to see Gong Sun's eyes gleaming fiercely. He hastily took out medicine from the medicine box, a large handful of bottles and jars. Sun Lu saw this and wanted to come and help, but Gong Sun shouted, "Back off!"

  Sun Lu turned around with a scowl on his face. Sun Zhe looked at him disapprovingly, "Miss Gu Er is a lady, what do you think you're doing?!"

  Sun Lu twitched his nose and said, "But isn't Wang Ye also a man?"

  Sun Zhe shook his head, "How can they be the same ——"

  Sun Lu furrowed her brow and gazed blankly at Gong Sun Mo, who had walked past the screen and entered the inner chamber. She thought to herself, "They're all men, what's the difference?"

  Gongsun Mo's eyes sank, and he walked step by step towards the person on the bed. He stopped at the bedside, as if to calm himself down, then with a big hand, he pulled off the silver fox fur coat. Just now in the Shangwu Hall, it wasn't very clear, but even Gongsun Mo couldn't help but take a cold breath when he saw the gaping wound.

  He was a bold and chivalrous man, but when his subordinates were injured, he could even cut off their bones with a big knife to save them. However, at this moment, facing a weak woman, he didn't know where to start.

  "If it hurts, just stop."

  Gongsun Mo, after all, was Gongsun Mo, and he didn't drag his feet when doing things. With a ripping sound, the originally tattered cloth strip was torn open, and the wound was completely exposed on the outside. Along with it, the shallow red, vibrant phoenix tail and a section of shallow white, seemingly burn scars also appeared.

  He lowered his gaze, poured the powder from several medicine jars into his palm, mixed it slightly and sprinkled it on the wound. His slender body trembled suddenly, but there was no sound.

  Gongsun Mo quickly and neatly applied the medicine, then pulled over the quilt from the innermost bed to cover Gu Yunxi, from start to finish, she didn't make a single sound.

  Gongsun Mo stood up, but felt his footsteps were heavier than ever. He looked at Gu Yunxi, whose eyes were tightly closed and body still tense, and said, "Gu Yunxi, I've never needed my own brother to block a knife for me or get hurt on my behalf. You're the first."

  Gu Yunxi slowly opened her eyes, her pale lips moving slightly. "His Royal Highness the Duke bathed in blood on the battlefield, killed enemies and protected the country, and was admired by millions of soldiers and civilians. It is Gu Yunxi's good fortune to be injured for His Royal Highness the Duke."

  Gongsun Mo's eyebrows moved, "This time it counts as you saving me. I've never liked owing people favors. What do you want? I can give you anything."

  Gu Yunxi shook her head, her voice as cold as frost, "What Yunxi wants, I'm afraid the prince can't afford to give!"

  Gongsun Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze sweeping across the back of her sister's spine. "Although I don't know how Qintian Temple determined that the Purple Star was rising in the west and predicted that there would be a Heaven-ordained noblewoman in Yanjing, and how they decided between you two sisters, but now that the imperial edict has been issued, the position of De Wangfei is something I can no longer give."

  In those years, the Qintian Temple observed the western emergence of the Ziwuxing star and predicted that a noble lady with a great fate was in Yanjing. Later, they also got the phrase "Phoenix pattern on the back, one life of honor and favor". When the wet nurse from the Empress Dowager's palace came to the Gu residence, she saw that ten-year-old Gu Yingshu had a vivid phoenix pattern on her back. From then on, the eldest daughter of the Gu family received boundless favor.

  The pattern on Gu Yunxi's back is the same as the divination of Qintianjian, and judging from Gu Zhongzheng's behavior and circumstances, he can already guess roughly. As he said, this marriage is a big deal, and the position of De Wangfei is not to be trifled with.

  It was reasonable for Gong Sun Mo to think so, but Gu Yun Xie couldn't help but burst out laughing coldly, as if what Gong Sun Mo said was a joke.

  Looking at the woman with a mixture of laughter and pain on her face, Gong Sun Mo's eyes slightly sank, "What are you laughing about?"

  Gu Yunxi slowly turned around, her eyes cold and arrogant, she stared straight at Gong Sunmo, the corner of her mouth with a chilly curve, "Does the king think that Yunxi would be eager for the position of De Wangfei?"

  By the way

  It's just a joke, no flirting intended~
