Chapter 358: Exposed
In Gu Xiwu's bedroom, the brain was very noisy, and for a while, Lin Xue's trouble in the emperor's bedroom spread all over the palace, making people uncomfortable.
"Doctor, hurry up." The doctor outside the palace entered the palace, and Gu Xiwu hurriedly led him to Gu Hui's bedroom. Gu Hui's illness has been delayed for a long time, and the child's body is even more resistant, and the longer the time drags on, the more anxious Gu Xiwu's heart becomes.
The doctor put down the medicine box and diagnosed Gu Hui. Gu Xiwu waited beside him, anxiously waiting for the result, and his vest prayed that Gu Hui was safe.
Although Lin Xue treated her like that, the child was innocent after all, and what should be done to Gu Hui, Gu Xiwu would not miss him.
Lin Xue's lung disease was cured by the imperial doctors in the palace for a long time, and Gu Hui was also infected at this time, so Gu Xiwu naturally didn't worry about handing Gu Hui into the hands of those imperial doctors.
Compared with the imperial doctor in the palace, Gu Xiwu believes in the folk doctor more. Gu Hui is still a first symptom, and Gu Xiwu only hopes that this doctor can do his best to cure Gu Xiwu.
The doctor was absentmindedly treating Gu Hui, while glancing at Gu Xiwu, observing her every move. Since entering the palace, he has not forgotten his task, and only he has completed it......
"Doctor, how's it going?" Gu Xiwu asked anxiously, but the doctor didn't come up with a result, and Gu Xiwu's heart couldn't let go.
Seeing Gu Xiwu coming over, the doctor immediately retracted his gaze and concentrated on diagnosing Gu Hui, but in fact, he was looking for an opportunity to attack Gu Xiwu again.
"Your Majesty, the grass people need the special loquat paste in the store, please allow the grass people to go to the store to get it." The doctor asked Gu Xiwu for his life and asked him to get what he needed.
"I'll order someone to fetch it, and you wait here." If the doctor wants to pick it up himself, I'm afraid it will take a certain amount of time, and looking at Gu Hui's situation, I'm afraid I can't wait too long.
There are thousands of guards in the palace, but Gu Xiwu can be dispatched at will, and he can get it soon. What's more, in the current situation of the prince, the most important thing is to have a doctor, so it is the most appropriate thing for the doctor to stay here.
"Someone, go to the doctor's shop and get some special loquat ointment." Gu Xiwu ordered, the doctor stopped talking, stood beside Gu Xiwu, and silently stretched his hand into his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, be careful." As soon as the guards left, Gu Ronghe came in and happened to see the doctor's vicious gaze and the sword that swung towards Gu Xiwu.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Rong came to Gu Xiwu's side with an arrow step and pushed him away.
Gu Xiwu looked at the doctor with a stunned expression, unable to come back to her senses for a long time, and did not expect that he would do anything to her.
"Who are you? Why ......" Gu Ronghe wanted to capture the doctor in order to ask who was behind the scenes, but the doctor was still one step faster than him, and the dagger wiped his neck without hesitation. The doctor fell to the ground in an instant, in a pool of blood, lifeless.
Gu Xiwu was shocked, and looked at the doctor with his mouth wide open, how could he never have imagined that such a situation would occur, this, what the hell is going on?
"Go see the kids." Gu Ronghe pushed Gu Xiwu and asked her to be busy watching the child. The doctor did something to Gu Xiwu, and he didn't know if he had done anything to the child.
Gu Xiwu went to see the child, Gu Ronghe first searched the doctor's body, but found nothing, and then asked people to clean up the scene.
"Lord Gu, Your Majesty, I am a doctor sent from Yunnan." The doctor carried the medicine box and came over to see the situation. What happened just now, Gu Ronghe became vigilant, searched the doctor's body, and found that there was no abnormality before asking him to treat Gu Hui.
Holding the child, Gu Xiwu confirmed that Gu Hui had nothing to do, and put her mind at ease, she was really scared to death just now, if Gu Rong didn't come, now Gu Xiwu was afraid that her life would be in danger.
Fortunately, the doctor's purpose was just for her to take care of Xiwu, otherwise, Gu Xiwu really didn't dare to imagine the consequences.
"Your Majesty." The doctor came to Gu Xiwu's eyes and motioned for her to give him the child, Gu Xiwu was vigilant, hugged the child tightly, and looked at Gu Ronghe.
What happened just now, Gu Xiwu had to be careful, she was afraid, afraid that if she was not careful, she would let the child die. Feeling Gu Xiwu's gaze, Gu Ronghe nodded, signaling Gu Xiwu to rest assured, and Gu Xiwu handed the child to the doctor.
With the doctor's treatment today, Gu Hui's condition has improved, and Gu Xiwu's hanging heart has finally let go of a little. Finally free, Gu Xiwu summoned Gu Ronghe to discuss important matters with him.
"Did you find anything about the Assassins that day?" was assassinated that day, Gu Xiwu was already frightened, and she didn't have any other thoughts to think about anything else, thinking about the safety and condition of the child.
And Gu Ronghe was much calmer than her, and the things of that day were also handled by Gu Ronghe, so Gu Xiwu hoped that Gu Ronghe would find out what was behind the scenes.
For no reason, it is impossible for that doctor to come to the palace to assassinate, and the goal is to be the emperor, Gu Xiwu vaguely feels that it is not so simple, and she also needs to investigate clearly.
"Nope." Gu Ronghe shook his head, he searched the assassin's body that day, and found nothing, so he also had the body disposed of.
"I'm going to investigate this matter thoroughly." Nanyue has been stable for a long time, and except for the assassin that Mo Xuanyin said that night, there really haven't been any accidents in this palace.
A few days ago, there was an assassin suddenly, so Gu Xiwu had to be vigilant, and he had to investigate the matter thoroughly.
"I'll arrange it." Gu Ronghe nodded, he also felt that he should investigate clearly, otherwise, if the troublemaker was allowed to go unpunished, he was afraid that there would be more follow-up actions.
"Okay, then I'll go and find out what those ministers are talking about." Gu Xiwu vaguely felt in her heart that this matter was inseparable from a certain minister in the palace, and as for who it was, she was still unsure.
Gu Ronghe left after receiving the order, since he had to investigate thoroughly, he had to hurry up, otherwise, the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for Gu Xiwu.
"I have summoned all the ministers today to inform you of one thing." Gu Xiwu glanced at everyone present, observing their expressions to see if they could see a clue.
The ministers looked at each other and said they didn't know, and then looked at Gu Xiwu and waited for her to continue.
"A few days ago, there was an assassin in the palace, and he was a doctor, I wonder if you adults know about this?" Gu Xiwu stared at Prime Minister Lin Cheng closely, and when she saw his dodgy eyes, she began to be suspicious in her heart.
"How do we know that? Your Majesty, the doctor outside the palace, we haven't even seen it! Prime Minister Lin Cheng hurriedly explained, wanting to clear up the relationship, which immediately attracted the attention of people in the field.
Gu Xiwu looked at Prime Minister Lin Cheng without saying a word, watching him continue to speak, and he already had an answer in his heart.
As he spoke, Prime Minister Lin suddenly noticed Gu Xiwu's gaze, and then he realized that he had said too much, but there was no reason to stop.
"Weichen is saying that there is an imperial doctor in this palace, how could the emperor invite a doctor outside the palace?" Prime Minister Lin Cheng came back cautiously, and then stopped talking, so the ministers would also be interested and no longer suspicious.
Gu Xiwu stared at Prime Minister Lin Cheng closely, and she already had an answer in her heart, but she still didn't notice it, so she withdrew her gaze and glanced at the people present.
"I've been investigating here for a few days to no avail, and today I summoned all the ministers into the palace, just because I want people and adults to investigate together and catch the real culprit." Although Gu Xiwu already knew the answer, for the sake of the overall situation, she still pretended not to know and asked the adults to investigate with her.
"Yes." The ministers responded one after another, and then Gu Xiwu dismissed them and continued to deal with political affairs himself.
This matter can never be solved at this time, Gu Xiwu paced in the study, endured the impulse in his heart, and considered the overall situation.
Now, although Gu Xiwu has determined that the last assassin incident was Lin Chengxiang's handiwork, after all, she has no definite evidence, so she can't make a ruling against him.
And at this time, if Gu Xiwu said that she knew the truth of the matter, then she would definitely be startled, so she had to endure and find an opportunity.
But now, has Prime Minister Lin Cheng started to do it? Gu Xiwu was unsure in his heart, if he wanted to say that he had done it, there had been no movement in the past few days. If he hadn't paid that attention, how could the Assassins explain?
But now Gu Xiwu's heart is clear that in the future, she must be more careful and take precautions, so as not to fall into the poisonous hands of Prime Minister Lin.
"Didn't you say it wasn't time yet?" Prime Minister Lin Cheng was surprised by Lin Xue's proposal, Lin Xue didn't agree to it before, but now she suddenly proposed, which was a bit too sudden, so that Prime Minister Lin couldn't react for a while.
Isn't something really going on? The last time, Gu Xiwu really noticed it? Prime Minister Lin was not sure, Gu Xiwu did not react that day, and Gu Xiwu did not look for him again after that, so Prime Minister Lin was not sure whether Gu Xiwu was suspicious of him.
"Dad, time is pressing, I really can't delay it any longer, I'm afraid the emperor is already suspicious." Lin Xue whispered to Prime Minister Lin Cheng, this is also the situation she has noticed recently, Gu Xiwu's attitude towards her has changed, which makes Lin Xue have a sense of crisis, and Lin Xue feels that she really can't drag it out any longer.
Otherwise, if it drags on any longer and waits for Gu Xiwu to make a move, then they really have no place to turn over.
Prime Minister Lin now hears that Gu Xiwu is indeed already suspicious of him, and even his daughter said so, so he should also be vigilant.
Sensing the seriousness of the matter, Prime Minister Lin Cheng no longer hesitated and began to plot a rebellion with Lin Xue.
In the palace of Nanyue, the secret plot of two people is heralding the outbreak of a conspiracy.
"Rong He, you have to be more careful recently, Lin Xue and Lin Cheng have been in close contact recently." Gu Xiwu reminded.
