Shen Bai didn't dare to teach the bad little girl, so he made up a few words to lull Si Ruoya to sleep, and the next day Shen Bai and Si Ruoyan were both infected with wind and cold, one coughed nonstop, and the other had a high fever, and the palace people hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to check.

It was Si Ruo Aya who had a high fever, she was still awake, lying on the bed with red eyes, looking at Shen Bai with tears in her eyes, feeling that she had made a big mistake.

Shen Bai coughed so much that his internal organs hurt, and he only comforted Si Ruoyan for a few words, and then he was too busy to take care of himself.

After being carefully taken care of by Yunshang for three years, although Shen Bai was often disturbed by heart diseases, he had not contracted much wind cold and other diseases, this time the germs were menacing, Shen Bai couldn't resist, coughed for three days in a row, and actually vomited blood.

When the Marquis of Lingyang sent her into the palace, she thought it would be good to eat just a meal, but she didn't expect to stay for a long time, and she couldn't bear it for a long time, and Zhao Che couldn't keep people in the palace all the time, so he let Si Ruoya go home first.

This time Shen Bai was sick and couldn't get up in bed, Zhao Mingyi and Zhao Mingxi came to see Shen Bai every day, but Shen Bai was not in good spirits, and it was almost the same as when he was in Nanxiang, and he was tired after saying a few words.

dragged on until the fourth day, Gu Hengzhou finally stepped into Nanchen Palace wrapped in a cold air.

Recently, he has been preparing for the wedding, there is no hostess in the Guogong Mansion and the Grand Commander's Mansion, all the things are taken care of by Gu Hengzhou himself, he does not feel bored, he is quite patient, he wants to give Shen Bai a perfect wedding, but he never wants to hear the news that Shen Bai is seriously ill.

When Gu Hengzhou came, Zhao Mingyi and Zhao Mingxi had just left, Murong Xuan stared at Shen Bai and drank the medicine, and she had just fallen asleep.

The timing was unfortunate, Murong Xuan wanted to accompany Gu Hengzhou to talk outside, but Gu Hengzhou went directly into the room.

The last wave of spring cold came, it was raining outside again, it was very cold, the palace people burned the brazier in the house, the doors and windows were closed tightly, Gu Hengzhou walked to the bedside, and he could still smell the faint smell of bitter medicine.

Shen Bai lay on the bed with his eyes closed, but he didn't sleep deeply, his slender brows were furrowed, and he occasionally coughed twice.

The meat that had been raised with great difficulty some time ago suddenly disappeared again, her face was pale, and her lips were not bloody.

Gu Hengzhou didn't make a sound, sat down on the edge of the bed, stared at her quietly for a long time, reached out to help her pluck her broken hair, and didn't disturb her sleep.

Shen Bai slept for a long time, and woke up after a while, the lights were lit in the room, the halo was dim, she slept in a chaotic mind, and after a long time, she saw that it was Gu Hengzhou sitting on the edge of the bed, the corners of her lips raised, and she asked briskly: "Brother Gu, why are you here?" Didn't you say that it's best not to meet before getting married? ”

"I heard you're sick, so I'll take a look." Gu Hengzhou said gently, skillfully twisted the handkerchief to help her wipe her face and hands, and said softly: "Are you hungry?" You are not in good health, eat the porridge. ”

Shen Bai actually didn't have any appetite at all, but when Gu Hengzhou asked so, she cheered up and said, "I want to eat meat porridge, the porridge is tasteless." ”

Gu Hengzhou should go down and ask the palace people to do it, and then returned to the side of the bed and put two pillows for Shen Bai to sit up.

Shen Bai was so soft that he seemed to have no bones, and he was still a little panting when he sat up, like a person who had run out of oil and had dried up.

Gu Hengzhou's throat rolled up and down, pretending not to see, and said calmly: "The Great Commander's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are ready, if nothing else, the wedding date will be set on the eighteenth of next month, the wedding will be over, and we will stay in Beijing for a few more days, and we can leave for Yuanfeng County." ”

These have been set a long time ago, and by this time, there is obviously more temptation.

Shen Bai coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, don't worry, the imperial doctor said that I just had an ordinary wind chill and would not die so easily." ”

This word is taboo here in Gu Hengzhou.

She is different from others, even if it is really an ordinary wind chill, it will not necessarily cause any consequences if it falls on her.

Gu Hengzhou didn't say these words in his heart, and only asked Shen Bai: "Since it's just an ordinary wind and cold, what are you doing hiding from me?" ”

"I don't want you to worry, this hasn't passed the door yet, I'll toss you with a little cold, and let people know what to say about me behind my back." Shen Bai said something like that, Gu Hengzhou pursed his lips and didn't pierce her.

The palace people quickly sent meat porridge, the meat was chopped very much, and the porridge was also viscous, and Shen Baiqiang couldn't eat half a bowl of it.

Gu Hengzhou ate the remaining half bowl, watched Shen Bai fall asleep, kept watch all night, and went directly to the court the next day.

There are a lot of things to deal with in the follow-up of the previous case, Zhou Jue has been in a bad mood recently because he was wearing a hat, and it is inconvenient to move around, so these things fall on Gu Hengzhou.

After going down to the court, Gu Hengzhou went to do business first, and then rode a horse to visit the Marquis of Lingyang.

There were not many visitors to the Marquis Mansion of Lingyang on weekdays, Gu Hengzhou did not pay a bow in advance, and waited at the door for a while before the doorkeeper welcomed him in.

The Marquis of Lingyang prepared hot tea and waited for him with a stomach full of questions, Gu Hengzhou didn't make a detour after entering, and said bluntly: "The junior heard that the young lady of your mansion entered the palace a few days ago and stayed with the Oriental girl for one night, and the Oriental girl's health has not been very good in the past few days, and the junior took the liberty to come here to see Miss Si and ask if anything strange happened that night." ”

The Marquis of Lingyang loved his daughter very much, and after listening to Gu Hengzhou's words, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Aya'er also got sick when she came back from the palace, and she only got better in the past two days, what does Commander Gu mean by this?" ”18

If there was something strange about this matter, how could Zhao Che let Si Ruoya go home so easily?

Gu Hengzhou looked a little unkind, and the Marquis of Lingyang didn't want Gu Hengzhou to see his daughter.

Gu Hengzhou's expression was light, and he said softly: "The younger generation likes the Oriental girl, seeing that she has not recovered from her illness for a long time, I am worried, and I take the liberty of wanting to see Miss Si, and I am also trying to find a solution, and I will not do anything to Miss Si, and I ask Master Hou to be considerate." ”

Gu Hengzhou tried his best to make his tone sound softer, but Lingyang Hou didn't expect him to be able to say what he liked so calmly, after all, in the rumors of the outside world, Gu Hengzhou has always been a cold and unapproachable woman.

The Marquis of Lingyang was still a little worried, and said worriedly: "Aya'er is afraid of life. ”

Gu Hengzhou said: "I won't see Miss Si alone, Master Hou or Mrs. will ask questions on my behalf, I can listen in the dark." ”

Gu Hengzhou repeatedly backed down, and his attitude was quite good.

The Marquis of Lingyang couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and agree, take Gu Hengzhou back to the main courtyard, and then ask Mrs. Hou to bring Si Ruoya over.

Si Ruo Aya's illness has been completely cured, her little face is pink and tender, and she was coaxed by Mrs. Hou with a snack, and she stuffed her cheeks bulging, like a little hamster.

Mrs. Hou couldn't cry or laugh, and helped her wipe her mouth and sighed: "How many times have you said that the girl's family should have a food appearance, why can't you remember, and no one grabs food with you." ”

Si Ruo Aya chewed on the contents of her mouth and muttered indistinctly: "It's delicious." ”

Afraid that she would choke herself, Mrs. Hou poured her a cup of tea.

Si Ruoya drank and took another piece of pastry, but this time he remembered to eat it slowly in small bites.

Knowing that Gu Hengzhou and Lingyang Hou were watching in the dark, Mrs. Hou didn't drag the time, took Si Ruo's hand and asked softly, "What else is uncomfortable with Aya'er in the past two days?" ”

Si Ruo Aya shook her head obediently, thought for a while and said, "Is Sister Kite okay?" Can I go see her? It's been a long time since anyone has given me a gift. ”

Si Ruo Aya had a good impression of Shen Bai, Mrs. Hou pinched her cheeks, and said with a smile: "The palace is not so easy to enter, if Aya'er really wants to go, will my mother take you with me next time?" ”

Of course, this is the best, Si Ruo Aya smiled and nodded, Mrs. Hou finally cut to the chase and asked, "It didn't rain that night, and the weather wasn't too cold, how could Aya'er and the Oriental girl get sick?" But did you snatch the quilt of the Oriental girl? ”

When Si Ruoya first came home, Mrs. Hou asked about this, but the servants in the palace are used to serving people, and generally speaking, this kind of mistake will not occur.

Mrs. Hou actually had doubts in her heart, Si Ruoya shook her head, the speed of eating slowed down, and even avoided Mrs. Hou's eyes with a little weakness.

Mrs. Hou understood her daughter in the end, and suddenly saw that there was a problem, so she softened her tone and said softly: "Don't be afraid, Aya'er, there are no outsiders here, if you suffer any grievances, just tell your mother, your mother will definitely seek justice for you." ”

After all, it is her own daughter, of course Mrs. Hou will subconsciously favor Si Ruo Aya.

Si Ruo Aya still shook her head, her little face flushed, and she whispered after a while: "Mother, Aya'er made a mistake again, Aya'er didn't grab the quilt that night, but Aya'er ...... Aya's bedwetting again. ”

After Si Ruoya finished speaking, her eyes were full of tears, pitiful and helpless.

Mrs. Hou was stunned, and then remembered that there were outsiders, so she hurriedly coaxed Si Ruoya away.

The Marquis of Lingyang walked out with Gu Hengzhou, his expression was dark and uncertain, and Gu Hengzhou didn't expect to hear such an answer.

Si Ruoya is fourteen years old, not a three-year-old child, and he still wets the bed at this age, so he is a little shameless to say it.

And judging from her words and deeds just now, Gu Hengzhou couldn't help but suspect that she had something wrong with her brain.

Everyone knows that Si Ruoya was summoned to the palace this time in order to select the queen, if she has a problem with her brain, but the Marquis of Lingyang knows about it and does not report it, if it is investigated, a Marquis of Lingyang Mansion will not be able to bear the responsibility.

Gu Hengzhou didn't hurry to speak, Lingyang Hou's face was solemn, and after returning to the hall, he retreated, sighed and said: "Four years ago, Aya'er was playful and accidentally fell into the pool, and after waking up, it was a little different from before, I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I found out later when my wife reminded me." ”

Gu Hengzhou listened quietly and did not open his mouth to disturb, and Lingyang Hou continued: "The doctor said that she fell into the water and was too frightened to be like this, the people in the house have been taking care of her carefully over the years, and there has been no trouble, I also think there is nothing wrong with her, but now it seems that she can't deceive herself." ”

On the second day, the Marquis of Lingyang gave an excerpt to Zhao Che, saying that Si Ruoya's high fever caused an old illness, and he was not very conscious, so he could no longer participate in the selection of the queen.

Zhao Che received the excerpt and watched it for a long time, and then asked Sun Yuehai to go to the Hou Mansion to announce the decree, take Si Ruoya back to the palace, and let the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital treat her.
