"Gu Qing, you see, this is Song Lianying's excerpt to me today, saying that Zhang Tingqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, buys and sells official positions, and I am in the deep palace on weekdays, and I have no way of knowing, I don't know how much of this matter is true according to Aiqing?"

It has been five or six days since that gaffe, and Gu Caizhi has been thinking about how to face Lian Qingjue as always, but he doesn't want to see that person in court for a few days in a row. And just after the court on this day, Gu Caizhi was called to the Qinzheng Hall by Feng Yusheng, in the hall, Feng Yusheng sat behind the bookcase, holding the fold in his hand, and his face was already faintly angry.

"Your Majesty, Lord Song has always been upright, and since this matter was brought up by Lord Song, there is no wind and no waves."

Gu Caizhi pondered his words and said.

This Song Lianying is the imperial history of the two dynasties, although he is upright, but he is also extremely stubborn, an iron mouth is said all over the court and the opposition, and even the emperor Feng Yusheng has not been scolded by him, so all along, Feng Yusheng does not like this Lord Song very much. But although this Song Yushi offended many officials and ministers because of his words, because he had the gold medal given by the emperor in his hand, even the emperor did not dare to do anything to him.

"Then Gu Qing, you can quietly check it out first." Feng Yusheng thought for a moment and said, "Right now, Lian Qing is sick at home, so I'll tire you first." ”

"Even Lord Lian is sick?"

Listening to Feng Yusheng's words, Gu Caizhi asked as if unintentionally.

"Yes, on the day of his birthday, I didn't think about it well, forgetting that he had just recovered from a serious illness, and I watched a play and drank with him in the garden, which made him cold into his body, and the cold disease committed again."

"Cold? What is it? ”

Gu Caizhi couldn't help but be shocked, no wonder he hadn't seen that person come to the court in the past few days, although he was also worried in his heart, and wanted to send someone to find out the news, but when he thought of himself and him that night, he actually ...... I held back this thought again and again.

"It's a child's thing. He should have been only seven years old that year, in the winter I and him, as well as Qing Wan, secretly ran outside to play, but unexpectedly there was a sneak attack, he in order to protect me, with Qing Wan to lure away the gangsters, and later in order to protect Qing Wan, was stabbed by the gangsters, and fell into the river full of ice and snow, stayed in the water for a full day before being found by the guards, since then, he has been extremely afraid of cold, every winter, this cold disease will also recur. ”

As if recalling the scene of the year, Feng Yusheng sighed and said: "Although many years have passed, I still remember very clearly, when the guards found him that day, his body was already frozen with the river. ”

"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future."

Gu Caizhi held back the shock in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, Rong Chen will retire first." ”

"Go ahead."

Qiang calmly walked out of the main hall, until he walked to the gate of the palace and sat on the sedan chair, Gu Caizhi exhaled a breath, and ordered with a little urgency: "Go to Lianfu." ”

……

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

followed Lian Pu through the corridors to Lian Qingjue's residence, and before he entered the house, he heard a heart-wrenching cough.

"Brother, brother, bear with it and drink this medicine."

Gu Caizhi didn't care about Lian Pude's surprise, and walked into the house anxiously, and saw at a glance the person on the bed, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was in a cold sweat, but he seemed to have used all his strength to cough.

"Master Gu? Lord Gu, look, what can I do about this? ”

Hearing the movement at the door, Lian Qingwan turned around and saw Gu Caizhi standing at the door a little dazed.

"How...... What's wrong? ”

Walking to the side of the bed in three steps and two steps, smelling the strong smell of medicine in the room, looking at Lian Qingwen's face full of tears, Gu Caizhi reluctantly calmed himself down and asked.

"My brother coughed like this...... I can't drink this medicine at all. ”

Lian Qingwan held the medicine bowl with tears in her eyes.

"Lian Qingjue, Lian Qingjue."

Gu Caizhi held Lian Qingjue's hand outside the quilt, only to feel that if it weren't for the slight trembling of this hand, he would definitely think that he was holding a piece of thousand-year-old ice.

"Gu ...... Pick, you...... cough cough cough ...... Ahem...... Here it comes? ”

I don't know if I felt something, Lian Qingjue opened his eyes slightly, and said intermittently.

"Yes, I'm here. You are obedient, hold on, open your mouth, and drink the medicine, okay? ”

Gu Caizhi never expected that he would be so gentle, talking to others like a child.

"Huh...... cough cough cough ...... Good. ”

Although his brain was groggy, his whole body seemed to fall into an ice cave, spasmodic from time to time because of the cold, and the itching in his throat made him want to cough, but hearing the familiar voice, Lian Qingjue still tried his best to suppress the coughing for a while, and drank a sip of the decoction on the spoon handed by the man.

"Very well, will you take another spoonful?"

Gu Caizhi persuaded softly, and just like that, spoonful by spoonful, he fed him the soup in the bowl cleanly.

"Master Gu, thank you for coming."

Wiping the tears on her face, Lian Qingwan looked at Gu Caizhi gratefully, and said, "Otherwise, I really don't know what to do." ”

He ...... Every year? ”

Seeing that although the person in the quilt gradually fell asleep, he still coughed once or twice from time to time, and his body trembled and spasmed from time to time, Gu Caizhi actually felt that his eyes were astringent.

"Yes. Originally, my brother's illness had already occurred once a year ago, and Master Gu had also seen it at that time, and it was not too serious, I thought that my brother's health was much better this year. But I didn't expect that now it is so serious. ”

Lian Qingwan choked up, her face was full of distress.

"Is it incurable?"

Still holding the palm of the hand without warmth, Gu Caidao.

"There is no cure." Lian Qingwan shook her head: "Now this medicine is still prescribed by the emperor by Qin Sangzi, a famous miracle doctor in the Boyan Kingdom, but it can only relieve the pain of the onset." ”

"Oh."

Gu Caizhi didn't say anything anymore, just sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at the person who didn't know if it was because of the effect of the medicine or because of the cough that his face was slightly ruddy.

"Qingwen, how is he?"

Suddenly, a slightly worried voice came, Lian Qingwan turned her head, and as soon as she looked at the person, she couldn't hold back any longer, turned around and threw herself into the arms of the person, whimpering and crying.

"Liu Tinglan, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of my brother's ......"

"He'll be fine!"

For some reason, hearing Lian Qingwen's words, a trace of anger suddenly welled up in Gu Cai's heart, and he said sharply.

"Qingwen, who is this?"

"This is the book of the Criminal Department, Master Gu Caizhi."

"Oh, Master Gu."

Liu Tinglan gave Gu Caizhi a look, and then gently patted Lian Qingwan's back and comforted: "Lord Lian will definitely be fine, Qingwan don't worry." ”

"Yes."

Knowing that Gu Caizhi cared about his brother, even Qingwen didn't take his tone just now to heart.

"Liu Tinglan, let's go out, let Master Gu and my brother stay a little longer."

Lian Qingwan pulled Liu Tinglan's sleeve and said softly.

"Huh? Oh. ”

Seeing that Lord Gu looked worried, and kept holding Lord Lian's hand in his hand, Liu Tinglan was relieved and followed Lian Qingwan out.

"Heh, it turns out that when you say Ah Wan, you mean Miss Lian."

Recalling the name of Miss Lian called by the young man just now, Gu Caizhi couldn't help laughing, and then said to the person who was still asleep: "Lian Qingjue, you're right, I'm afraid, indeed, I like you." ”
