Gu Changming couldn't say such a thing, he didn't raise his head, but patted Guozi's shoulder with his free hand: "What you said is very true." โ
Dai Guozi was about to say a few tough words, but when he saw Gu Changming's hand speed, he instantly closed his mouth and copied honestly. The four of them held on silently for more than an hour, and Gu Changming stopped writing first: "Okay, these are almost the same." โ
"I've memorized it all." Little Phoenix rubbed his wrist, "According to the method written above, can you really restrain the patient who has a seizure?" โ
The two pages left by the old Imperial Physician Wen recorded in detail how to administer acupuncture and how to restrain several key acupuncture points on the back of the patient's neck, so that he lost the ability to attack, and then slowly healed with medicine.
Gu Changming originally promised the little phoenix to come and see it together, but at this time, the four of them were all well memorized. Fortunately, all four of them practiced martial arts, and their grasp of acupuncture points was more accurate than that of ordinary doctors. He asked Guozi to turn around and pointed out the acupuncture points to be controlled again: "Old Imperial Physician Wen has not encountered these people head-on, but according to medical theory, he said that he can control them, at least seventy or eighty percent sure. โ
Little Phoenix turned around and asked Liu Zhuxue to press on her body one by one: "It doesn't seem to be very difficult, you can do it when you have to prick the needle at close range." If it doesn't work, the doctor is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself. โ
"You can't protect yourself, and you still want so much!" Dai Guozi rolled his eyes angrily, "You hurry up and tell Gu Changming what is going on with the person who wants to kill you, if something happens under his nose, he will not be depressed for the rest of his life." โ
Liu Zhuxue hated him for talking nonsense, it was true that the little phoenix was frightened just now, and hurriedly divided the writing, left part of it, and handed the other part into Gu Changming's hands: "The fruit still needs to be raised, and it is already reluctant to sit for so long today." โ
Gu Changming took the thick stack, held the little phoenix's arm, and led the person out: "Let the fruit rest well, let's go to the palace in the morning, you pay attention to yourself." โ
The little phoenix was taken a few more steps: "Brother Gu, I don't have a ...... either"
"Someone is going to kill you." Gu Changming restrained all his expressions and looked down at her intently, "Do you see the other party's appearance?" โ
"No, I only feel murderous, I don't dare to look back, I'm afraid of turning back, I'm afraid of turning back......" The little phoenix suddenly became afraid, and tears flowed out at once, "I'll never see you again." โ
Gu Changming saw that she was crying sadly, so he didn't urge half a sentence, but grabbed someone, let her lean on his shoulder, and vented all her fear.
"Brother Gu, I'm really useless, I didn't even see a figure, I just ran for my life. Strange to say, I thought that after three or two more steps, the other party would be able to catch up with me, but he didn't chase him. Seeing that the clothes on his shoulders were wet, the little phoenix quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and stood up straight, and before he could stand firmly, he was pressed down again by Gu Changming's palm.
"Don't you even have a chance to shout for help?" Gu Changming asked in a deep voice, Guozi's words are not bad at all, if Phoenix had an accident when he left, he would be unable to escape the blame for the rest of his life, "That person is better than Qu Jingshan's martial arts?" โ
"Qu Jingshan has never had murderous intent towards me." Little Phoenix told the truth, Qu Jingshan only wanted to arrest her back, and the person who came didn't want to take her life, "This person wants me to die." โ
"In order to snatch what Old Imperial Doctor Wen left behind, I can't wait." Gu Changming's other hand shook in the wind, and the paper rattled, "So Guozi simply thought of such a stupid way, I can't wait to let everyone in Kaifeng Mansion have a copy, which saves your life, and also saves the lives of several of us." โ
"Brother Gu, you didn't go to see your father's injury, what did he say?" The little phoenix was a little awkward after crying, after all, she was frightened at the time, and she didn't actually hurt a single hair.
"My father said that it was not in the way, said a few words to me, and asked if he would enter the palace tomorrow. At least he didn't say anything against it, so let's be careful. Gu Changming frowned, puzzled, "He didn't mention who hurt him, so he can only enter the palace tomorrow and ask." โ
"Can you ask if you enter the palace?" Little Phoenix said directly, "If the emperor doesn't want this matter to expand, it will definitely make Mao Liu tight-lipped." When the time comes, which one can you ask? Even the father of the fruit may not know so much. โ
Gu Changming has experienced so much, how could he not imagine what she said, the case in front of him is complicated, and even the Gu family has become a place that is not peaceful. He originally thought that leaving Dai Liu and the others behind would ensure that nothing went wrong, but now that someone can kill the little phoenix from a distance of dozens of steps, it is likely that he will pinch the others, and then threaten him.
Although Dai Mianshan can't tell too many secrets, it is enough to protect the fruit. Gu Changming quickly made a decision, he would send someone to distribute the transcribed ones early tomorrow morning, he would take the little phoenix into the palace, and contact Dai Mianshan as much as possible, one line to another, and it must be arranged as soon as possible.
"Brother Gu, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. Why do you want to go far and far, although Dai Mianshan is the father of the fruit, he can be regarded as reliable, isn't your father right in front of him, martial arts are thoughtful, wouldn't it be the strongest to ask him to help? Little Phoenix never understood the relationship between their father and son.
If it is not good, Gu Wuduo maintains it everywhere, and he is the most partial. If you say yes, you will live under the same roof, but you will not take another step.
"My father had tried his best to oppose the emperor's decision, and almost turned against the emperor for this. What was the result last time, you know very well. At a critical time, if he is willing to help, there is no need for you and me to ask, for fear that it will be self-defeating and lead to other disputes, so it is better to go to Mr. Dai to help. Gu Changming rarely showed a look of embarrassment.
What he didn't tell Little Phoenix was that when he went to inquire about the source of the wound, his father not only didn't say a word, but even asked him not to ask about it again. then locked himself in the study, which is equivalent to closing the door.
Moreover, the lost memories of his father have not yet been recovered, and without those six or seven years of training, he is still the high-spirited Lord Gu in the Criminal Division, and he was suddenly told that he had resigned for many years and was not reused by the imperial court, and that sense of loss was probably one of the reasons that triggered him several episodes.
However, the old Imperial Physician Wen left Kaifeng Mansion without hesitation, and his father's illness was afraid that it would be delayed, and there was no progress in the slightest.
The little phoenix raised her eyes to look at the sky, tossing for most of the night, and then the night receded, faintly revealing the white belly of the cyan fish, afraid that the sky was about to light up.
"Phoenix, I'm afraid I don't have time to rest, change my clothes, let's go to the palace." Gu Changming saw that she had just cried, with a touch of peach in the corners of her eyes, and she looked aggrieved. He raised his hand and rubbed it lightly against her sideburns cheeks, "If you're too tired, why don't you stay here and rest?" โ
Where is the little phoenix willing to follow: "Don't be tired, this is nothing." I used to be blind for three days and three nights, but now I am squeamish. I immediately went to change my clothes, wash my face, and we met in front of the front yard gate. โ
"You, be careful." Gu Changming never thought that he would say such a thing in his own home. The huge Kaifeng Mansion, is there really no place to feel at ease?
Fortunately, there was no accident in this scene, the little phoenix changed her clothes and came out, and Gu Changming waited for her there first: "The copied things are sent out and distributed, and I will also bring some of them into the palace for the emperor to see." Although it has not spread in the palace, in fact, after the death of the Nine Emperor Princes, everyone is not in danger. โ
"Brother Gu, your father's concerns are also reasonable. The hospital is mostly empty, if someone in the palace has another seizure, wouldn't it be tied? The little phoenix followed into the palace a few times, and the people coming and going in the palace were not as difficult as they had imagined in the past. In particular, several of the cooks in the imperial dining room were very kind to her and responded to her requests, and she did not want to see any of them have an accident.
"In my guess, although this medicine is fierce, it is also very difficult to formulate. Otherwise, the murderer would have used it to take down all the officials in the DPRK and China, and even affect the safety of the emperor. The emperor's so-called attack on the imperial garden last time was also to take precautions, try to minimize the suspicious people around him, and leave only the most cronies. Gu Changming rubbed his eyebrows and said, "It's just that my father said that there were also people poisoned in the secret guard, which made people really relieved." โ
"Brother Gu, I'll stay in the imperial dining room later?" The little phoenix asked.
Gu Changming couldn't help but bow his head and laughed: "It's okay if you want to stay anywhere, since the emperor has recovered, he should have moved out of the Taiqing Palace, and the imperial study and the imperial dining room are not far away." It's a heavily guarded place, and it's worth reassuring you to stay there. โ
Little Phoenix once said that the sword mountain and the sea of fire, as long as Gu Changming is by his side, he can completely do it without hesitation. In the current crisis, he is the only one who can talk and laugh freely.
Mao Liu's face was pale and pale, and when he saw the two of them coming on time, he seemed to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"How is the emperor?" Gu Changming politely saluted, knowing that after this catastrophe, if Mao Liu did not worry about his life, he would be prosperous and become Su Xu's successor, or even a more favored high-ranking official.
"The first thing I asked when I woke up was about the situation in the hospital." Mao Liu didn't want to hide it at all, he completely regarded Gu Changming as his own family, "The second question is whether Master Su's bones have been recovered?" โ
Gu Changming's eyebrows moved, and before he could ask, Mao Liu took the initiative to mention it first, and there was no sign of wanting to cover the sky with one hand: "If Lord Su's ashes are retrieved, can I ask for orders to send them back for him?" โ
"Didn't get it back." Mao Liu's face couldn't be seen even more, "Something happened to the people who were sent out, and then a fire broke out in the courtyard, burning into a continuous piece, and when the fire is controlled, where can you still see which is which!" There were at least twenty or so corpses, all burned to charcoal. โ
"What about the people who sent out? But your former colleagues? "Gu Changming has never heard his father mention this, was the fire before or after his father left?
"What the emperor can believe is nothing more than the secret guards around him. I sent two of them, just in case, and neither of them came back. It wasn't until after dawn that no one outside the city saw the smoke, and when they arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, they returned to the palace, and then spread the news to the palace. Mao Liu gritted his teeth with hatred, "Fortunately, the emperor was not angry, but he didn't move a drop of breakfast, and it was all cold there." โ
"Where is the emperor now?" Gu Changming's face couldn't see the slightest wave, and his heart was like a stormy wave, if his father participated in this fire and didn't say a word, what was the purpose!
"The emperor is in the imperial study, check the list of the accompanying people from the Tai Hospital." Mao Liu couldn't wait to send Gu Changming in immediately, "Gongzi Changming will come later, I'll come back with a reply." โ
"Master Mao, bring this in first and show it to the emperor." Gu Changming handed over a few pages, "Just say that Imperial Doctor Wen left it." โ
