Chapter 8: Bad News

The young man said that the light rain of apricot blossoms was the most intoxicating, but Gu Wushuang couldn't wait for the spring rain to fall and had already left.

It's just that when I passed through the city gate, I encountered an accident.

"What's going on?"

Seeing the sunset, the city gate was in a mess, and the only two doorways were blocked.

The coachman went down to inquire about it, and then jumped back on the frame and said, "It is said that there are horses galloping outside, and the family's carriage has not been seen from the root of the wall, so the reins are pulled more violently." ”

Gu Wushuang frowned, and when he heard this, he looked out again, and couldn't help frowning even deeper: "Tell that guard to let him go." ”

"Second Miss ......"

When the coachman heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Gu Wushuang.

The overturned carriage was from the Mansion of the Marquis of Xuanping, and the Marquis of Xuanping had always been at odds with the Marquis of Weiyuan, and he had not contributed much when he raided the Mansion of King Yu before, so the coachman subconsciously thought that Gu Wushuang was trying to take the opportunity to find trouble with others.

"You walk calmly, obviously not an ordinary little guy, and you can win the trust of your family, and you will definitely carry a token that can represent the identity of your family, so, go."

Gu Wushuang's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't even explain much, just lightly pointed out the identity of the coachman, and then directly lifted the curtain.

The coachman didn't move, but thought to himself and then asked, "Why?" ”

"That young man on a horse should be a scout from the border pass." Gu Wushuang answered lightly through the curtain.

It was at this time that the coachman noticed that the young man still had a feather on his horse.

"Second Miss, wait a minute!"

With a deep confession, the driver immediately jumped out of the frame and went directly to the guard.

I don't know what he said, but in a few moments the guard personally escorted the boy into the city gate......

……

"Miss is back!"

Later, by the time Gu Wushuang really returned to the mansion, Amber didn't know how long she had been waiting outside.

And in addition to amber, Zhou was also waiting in the front yard.

Hearing that Gu Wushuang finally returned home, he couldn't help but hurriedly greet him in person, and happened to see Helian Yan's carriage leave.

"That's ...... The carriage of the Pingjun Palace? Zhou was a little hesitant, and even wondered if he was dazzled.

"Hmm." Gu Wushuang nodded, didn't explain much, just greeted Zhou and said directly to Amber beside him, "Is Uncle Zhao back?" ”

"I just came back for a meeting, and then I said that I had something to do and went out again." Amber Road.

Gu Wushuang nodded and followed straight into the mansion.

Zhou followed by the side, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed in an instant.

"Shuang'er, are you angry with your sister?"

"What?" Gu Wushuang was stunned, because he was still thinking about the matter at the gate of Fangcai City, he couldn't help but feel a little unresponsive for a while.

Seeing this, Zhou couldn't help but feel more and more sad: "I know I shouldn't ask you for anything, but Cheng'er ...... Actually, Cheng'er has always loved you, you really misunderstood her today. ”

"Mother......

Gu Wushuang came back to his senses, and then glanced at Zhou Shi with some complicated feelings: "No, don't think about it." ”

"Really?" Zhou was obviously a little unconvinced: "Then you are ...... during the day Do you know how sad your sister was when you left? ”

"Maybe it's a little bit."

Gu Wushuang sighed secretly, for a long time, and finally spoke up again, and said: "Maybe it's angry, and it's indeed a little resentful, but it's not for my sister." ”

"I just...... I blame myself a little. ”

"I used to be so arrogant, I just thought I was really omnipotent, but now I really have something to do but I can't do anything......"

Gu Wushuang pulled the corners of his lips and chuckled, paused, and directly helped Zhou into the courtyard: "It's not early, you go back to rest first, as for my sister...... But look at her own creation. ”

After that, Gu Wushuang directly motioned to the maid next to him to help the Zhou family return to the room.

"I don't blame you." Zhou shook his head, and hugged Gu Wushuang directly with distressed eyes: "Shuang'er, I really don't blame you......"

"It's okay mother, go and rest." Gu Wushuang nodded, and then directly let go of the Zhou clan and handed her over to the maid.

"Go and see if Uncle Zhao is back."

After the Zhou family left, Gu Wushuang called Amber over again.

It's just that before Amber could respond, Steward Zhao had already stepped in from outside.

"Something happened to Miss Two!"

Steward Zhao's face was heavy, and he didn't even care about etiquette and went directly to Gu Wushuang, and said hurriedly: "The border pass is urgent, saying that it is the West Tower that suddenly invaded the realm, and the prince of Jingguo was accidentally hit by an arrow on the way to retreat from the enemy, and finally died!" ”

"What!"

Gu Wushuang was shocked: "Didn't you say that it was missing, how could it ......?"

"I can't find out about it now, and the reason why I can find out about this matter so quickly is because the scout who delivered the letter insisted on not entering the palace, so he told it directly outside the palace gate."

Steward Zhao poured himself a cup of cold tea and drank it all, and then continued: "I heard that the Jingguo Mansion has been in a mess, and Xu Ge Lao passed out on the spot when he received the news, and later it was said that he vomited blood after waking up!" ”

After that, Steward Zhao poured another cup of cold tea, but hesitated and put it back.

"Second Miss ......"

"Don't let Madame know about this beforehand." Gu Wushuang paced back and forth, and he had no idea in his mind for a while.

Steward Zhao saw it in his eyes, hesitated, and finally spoke again, and said carefully: "Second Miss wants to go to Jingguo Mansion to take a look?" ”

"Let's go tomorrow." Gu Wushuang couldn't deny it.

If Xu Maoxing is serious...... In any case, there must be a conclusion.

……

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Jingguo Mansion.

By the time Gu Wushuang arrived, the Jingguo Mansion had already begun to close its doors.

It's just that because of Gu Wushuang's identity, the concierge just hesitated and welcomed her in.

And by the time Gu Wushuang really saw Elder Xu Ge, Elder Xu Ge had already fallen into a coma again, and his face was also sick.

"How can it be so serious?" Gu Wushuang was secretly surprised.

Although he had received news that Xu Ge had been ill before, but looking at Ning's reaction before, Gu Wushuang had always thought that it was just an ordinary illness, but now he seemed to be terminally ill.

"The doctor said, maybe...... It's been a month or two. Ning choked up, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears.

"How so!" Gu Wushuang was shocked: "Didn't you say the wind and cold, how can you ......?"

"Thirst-quenching."

The imperial doctor came out of the inner room, just in time to hear the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Xu Ge is suffering from thirst disease."

It's just that there were no obvious symptoms at first, and when the symptoms became apparent, it was just an ordinary wind-cold cough, so it was too late to say anything.

"Really...... Can't help it? ”

"There is no cure for thirst-quenching disease." The Imperial Doctor shook his head and said, "If it was possible to control one or two through diet supplemented by medicine earlier, but now it can ......."

The Imperial Physician shook his head again, but did not continue.
