Chapter 44: The Rainstorm Says Goodbye to Heaven and Man
Huaiyu and Duan Qinqin stayed in the Cloud Pavilion to help take care of the patients, and Gu Youzhao followed Gu Yanhe out of the city early in the morning.
It was Ah Wei, who didn't see him in the morning, until the afternoon, after Huaiyu fed the last patient to drink medicine, he asked Duan Qinqin: "Have you seen Ah Wei?" ”
"I didn't see it!"
Duan Qinqin put away the pen and paper, carefully pressed the quilt for the old man in front of him, and said to the old man: "Aunt Yun, your condition is almost better, let's observe for a day or two, and you can go home." ”
"Alas!" The old man smiled and looked at Duan Qinqin lovingly, "Okay!" Good! Thank you, girls, thank you. ”
Duan Qinqin hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "Aunt Yun, don't say that, you rest first, and I'll come to see you later." ”
Huaiyu was on the side, smiling and looking at Duan Qinqin, who was very patient at the moment: "I didn't expect you to be so gentle, but you don't look like the usual poisonous tongue Duan Qinqin at all." ”
"Shh
Duan Qinqin gave her a blank look and walked out of the Cloud Pavilions with Huaiyu.
"It's going to rain on this day."
Huaiyu stretched her waist and looked up at the sky.
I saw that the sky was gloomy and dark clouds.
Obviously, it was only halfway through the Shen period, and the sky in March should not be so dark, but at this moment, it was gloomy and dark outside, and the sun was long invisible, and there were only a large cloud left in the sky.
Huaiyu's heart was sullen, as if something was pressing on her head, and she said softly: "Hmm! ”
Duan Qinqin said: "When I was young, I studied medicine with my sisters at home, and in the first lesson, Mr. taught 'All those who are doctors should be gentle and elegant, be humble, be courteous, be gentle and gentle, have no self-esteem, and cannot be pretentious!'" ’”
"Although I am not as good as my two sisters, and I don't have their talent in medical skills, I also deeply remember this sentence, as a doctor, the word 'humility' is the most important!"
Huaiyu nodded sympathetically.
"I have seen a lot of hardships along the way these days, and I know that I was really willful and reckless in the past......"
Duan Qinqin was about to say more, but was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves.
"Listen!"
"Who's running horses in the streets?"
Before the two of them could see what was happening, they heard a sharp sound of "the Divine Decree has arrived", followed by the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and the voices sounded like dozens of people.
"Divine decree?"
Huaiyu hurriedly ran into the Cloud Pavilion and looked at Duan Wanqing with an anxious expression: "Mother." ”
Duan Wanqing put down the medicine bowl in his hand in confusion: "What's wrong?" ”
"Mother, let's go!"
"Let's go? Where to go? ”
"Go...... Go to ......"
Huaiyu was flustered, always feeling that this holy decree was not good, I was afraid that something big would happen, but it was all here, where else could I go?
Duan Wanqing walked over and held her hand: "Don't worry, let's go out and have a look." ”
The two of them walked out of the Cloud Pavilion, and the outside of the hall was already full of people, and the immediate proclamator was majestic, the corners of his eyes narrowed, as if he was smiling, and he asked loudly: "Where is General Gu Yanhe Gu?" ”
Duan Wanqing stepped forward and replied: "My husband went out of the city early in the morning to transport medicine, counting the hours, and he will be back soon." ”
"Oh, it's the General's wife."
The proclamator turned over and dismounted, smiling without smiling: "In this case, the official is waiting here." ”
The weather was getting more and more gloomy, and in front of the Cloud Pavilion, there were several rows of officers and soldiers wearing gold-colored hoods, red and black bright light armor, and long black leather boots.
This kind of matching wear, only the emperor's internal guards are qualified to wear it, but now he has followed the proclamator to Yundu.
Huaiyu's heart sank, stood beside her mother, and quietly held Duan Wanqing's hand.
The chief announcer looked leisurely, his eyes closed, as if the weather of the black clouds pressing down on the city would not affect him in the slightest.
Before the time came, Gu Yanhe came back, and when he saw the proclamator in front of the Cloud Pavilion, he smiled at Huaiyu and Duan Bangqing, and said to the proclamator with a calm expression: "It turned out to be Brother Chengchen, I didn't expect that the imperial court would send you to supervise the imperial history Lord all the way to Yundu, just to give Gu a decree?" ”
"Brother Yanhe, don't come unharmed."
Du Chengchen, the proclamator, took the bamboo tube handed over by his subordinates, raised the bamboo tube in his hand, with an inexplicable smile on his face, and slowly said, "Brother Yanhe, do you know what I am holding in my hand?" This is the arrest warrant for the arrest of you, Gu Yanhe, and General Gu......"
"A warrant?"
Huaiyu looked at the bamboo tube in shock, thinking that if he dared to do it, he would go up and fight with him, even if he died, he wouldn't let them take his father away!
The moment Gu Jiajun heard the arrest order, he also clenched the weapons in his hands one by one, and confronted the dozens of emperor's internal guards brought by Du Chengchen.
Gu Yanhe took a deep breath and smiled desolately: "I, Gu Yanhe, knew that there would be today, but I never wanted to believe that the Holy Lord would be so unremiss the friendship of kings and ministers, but now I have to believe it." ”
"Brother Yanhe is wrong, he still remembers the friendship of kings and ministers."
Du Chengchen beckoned, and immediately someone brought a glass of wine, Du Chengchen said: "This wine is the friendship of the holy monarch and minister, as long as you drink this wine and hand over the seal, you can protect your family." ”
Gu Yanhe stared at the wine glass, stretched out his hand and slowly picked it up.
The weapon in Gu Jiajun's hand was also slowly raised, and Huaiyu wanted to rush up and grab the glass of wine, but was held by Duan Wanqing, so he had to shout: "Dad, don't!" ”
Du Chengchen glanced at the Gu Jiajun and the internal guards in front of him, once again raised the bamboo tube in his hand, and said angrily: "What I have in my hand is the arrest warrant of the three departments of the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Criminal Department, and the Ministry of Officials, who dares to obstruct official business, and are guilty of complicity and rebellion!" ”
Gu Yanhe didn't care about Du Chengchen's arrest warrant for the joint investigation of the three departments, and he didn't even care about the tense Gu Jiajun and the internal guards behind him, he said to Huaiyu with a smile.
"Yu'er doesn't cry, on the day her father flooded Yundu, she was ready for today, and now the people of Yundu are gradually calm, and she is very comforted by her father, and at this moment she is underground, and when she sees those people of Yundu who were drowned, she can ask for her guilt for her father!"
"Nope! Don't drink, don't drink! ”
Gu Yanhe continued to laugh: "Yu'er is not afraid, my father once said to you, 'If you hold a sword in your hand, the burden on your shoulders will be heavy', and today my father wants you to remember one sentence again, the person who holds the sword in his hand must not aim the sword at the weak!" ”
Huaiyu couldn't cry, and Gu Yanhe's words about the aftermath made her panic.
"Didn't remember, didn't remember! My daughter didn't remember! ”
"My daughter is the smartest woman in the world."
Gu Yanhe raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup: "How could you not remember, huh?" ”
"Daddy!"
"General!"
Huaiyu broke free of Duan Bangqing and rushed over to catch Gu Yanhe, who was slowly falling, Rao is Huaiyu had great strength, and at this moment he was also pressed by Gu Yanhe's falling force and knelt on the ground.
Duan Wanqing also pounced, with a short knife stuck in his heart.
When the hour passed, the black and oppressive sky was overwhelming, and only the western half was still lit with yellow, white, yellow and white light, and under the dim yellow half of the sky were black mountains. Beneath the mountains, the long Cloud Pavilion melted into the darkness, with only the two bonfires at the door revealing its identity.
There was a "click", and as a bright white lightning swept through the west, a thunderclap fell from the sky.
In a blink of an eye, the rain poured down, extinguishing the last glimmer of light in the sky, and even extinguishing the two bonfires in front of the Cloud Pavilion.
Du Chengchen and the internal guards he brought were already like a victorious rooster, sheltering from the rain with high spirits, and there were only a few dozen Gu Jiajun and Duan Qinqin and others left.
Huaiyu knelt in the rain, her father's still warm body was in her arms, her hands trembled, her small body trembled, and her bitten lips trembled.
She seemed to have forgotten the other words, and only kept muttering the word "no", and her pale face could not tell whether it was rain or tears.
