Lu Jinxi was always a little hesitant about Princess Yongning.

Did this high-ranking man take care of her just because of Xue Kuang's instructions back then?

But where did she get the faint fear of Gu Juefei?

Can't see, can't guess.

Whether there is a so-called "male and female" affair between Gu Juefei, at least she knows one thing: that if she really admits that there is something between herself and Gu Juefei, Princess Yongning is afraid that she will not help and let her go out of the house. .

So why deny it?

In Lu Jinxi's world, the occasional lie is nothing special.

In other words, the skin of the painting is so thick and so hypocritical...

What are three or two lies?

For the eldest princess, she has no guilt at all.

Because she didn't feel that her lies contained any malice, she just didn't want to reveal her true self.

Innocent.

After sending Princess Yongning away, she felt a lot more at ease, thinking that her previous persuasion made sense.

Even if she was going to see Gu Juefei, her own body had to be taken care of.

So early, Lu Jinxi lay down and fell asleep.

In the next few days, rest, take medicine, and do not be sloppy at all. At the same time, he also instructed Qingque and Egret to pay attention to the news from outside, especially Gu Juefei's.

Do not inquire do not know.

As soon as she inquired about it, she realized that this matter had spread all over the city.

Even the principals who came to investigate the case in the palace and the three divisions had an indescribably unnatural look on their faces when they mentioned Gu Juefei in front of her.

As if there was something between them.

It's a big case after all.

Emperor Qing'an Xiao Che in the palace was very concerned about this matter. After Lu Jinxi woke up, he sent three groups of people to the general's mansion to inquire about the situation at that time.

Except for some secret details, she has told the truth.

She was not very clear, but she clearly remembered that when she said that she suspected that these mountain bandits were related to the Huns, and had heard the word "Lord Lan" mentioned, the expressions of those who came to inquire changed greatly. .

Even if you think about it with your toes—

The case of the Xiongnu mission is so close to the mountain bandit robbery case, and the people targeted are so special, there must be a terrifying plot.

It's easy to think of the "peace" that was reached between the two countries a while ago.

This group of people came and went in a hurry.

It's not that Lu Jinxi didn't think about digging some useful information from their mouths, but these people's mouths are too tight, maybe they have issued strict orders earlier.

She repeatedly attacked, but she couldn't get any news.

The rest at home is three days.

On the fourth day, she was able to get out of bed and walk around. Although the injuries on her body were still aching, the imperial doctor from the palace had seen it and said that it was no big deal.

So in the afternoon, Lu Jinxi greeted Qingque and was about to go to the resurrection hall.

It was a coincidence that she had just put on a blouse and skirt with a light yellow embroidered green calyx plum on her front feet, tied her hair in a bun and was about to go out, when the egret on her hind feet rushed in from outside and said to her with a happy face: "Wake up, Wake up! Madam, there is news from Huishengtang that Young Master Gu has woken up at noon!"

"woke up?"

Lu Jinxi was startled when she heard the words, but she stood there and didn't move for a long time.

Egret will only be happy when she hears the news. How could she have thought that she would react like this, and she was puzzled and worried at the same time: "Madam, what's the matter? The eldest son is awake, aren't you happy?"

Happy?

should be happy...

But the feeling that came out of my heart instantly was mixed with a kind of dazed and helpless feeling that I didn't know how to deal with it.

Gu Juefei likes her, she knows.

But she didn't know that he would even risk his life for her, and even sacrifice his life to save her, such a ruthless woman.

Sometimes she even thinks that maybe this is the real "routine".

Just imagine, who in the world would reject a person who is willing to use his life to save you? Not to mention, you already have out-of-the-ordinary ideas about this person.

only…

Taking one's life to play routines is too unbelievable.

At this moment, this kind of thought popped up in her mind, but she was just so idle and had nothing to do. She thought about it randomly, and she would not really think so.

Not to mention professing it.

An elusive daze crossed Lu Jinxi's face, and finally he glanced at the greenery in the courtyard and said, "That's right, let's go to Huisheng Hall."

In the early summer of Beijing, it was already a bit hot.

The afternoon sun scorched the earth, creating a dash of steaming boiling. After a spring of growth, the trees that have become bright and lush are all dazzling in the sunlight.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound was heard in the sky, and dark clouds floated over.

The rain in the summer afternoon came as soon as it was said, and there was no sign of it.

Bean-sized raindrops slammed down, and pedestrians on the streets of the capital panicked to cover their heads with their sleeves or other things, and ran to avoid the rain.

The Huishengtang is also generally busy.

"Oh, the rain will fall as soon as you say it, hurry up, go outside and put away the sun-dried Codonopsis ginseng!"

"There are also medicine jars outside!"

"Quick, quick!"

…

The guys in the hospital rushed into the rain in a hurry, for fear that the herbs that were drying would be washed away by the rain and lose their medicinal properties.

Guishou Zhang's little apprentice Ji Wuwei carried a bowl of medicine and walked steadily through the chaos of soldiers and horses, with a very cautious expression, for fear that others would not have long eyes and come over and bumped him.

"Be careful, don't knock my medicine!"

This bowl of medicine is not easy.

It's the one that hangs the life of the Great Young Master Gu of the Grand Master's Mansion.

It's not long before people wake up now, at a critical moment. Although the master said that he was out of danger, that he would be fine when he woke up, and that the rest was just taking care of him, but he also said that he should not take it lightly.

It's always impossible to say about injuries and illnesses.

God knows when something goes wrong!

So at this time, Ji Wuwei didn't dare to relax, a string was tightened in his head all the way, and he came to the simple guest room in the back yard of the hospital with the medicine in his hand, and called out: " Eldest son, I have brought you medicine."

"Please come in."

The original clear and smooth voice has become unrealistically hoarse, like a dried-up spring, and it sounds a bit harsh.

Ke Ji Wuwei knew that this was the voice of Young Master Gu.

He got permission and pushed the door in.

The house was temporarily cleaned out.

After all, Huishengtang is a place to save lives and help the wounded, and these extra rooms are only reserved for ordinary patients.

But they never thought that one day they would be able to treat Gu Juefei.

Most of Ji Wuwei's impression of this young master Gu came from that night when he was carrying a jar of Prajna wine, he squeezed in when the Huisheng Hall was about to close, and then drank with his master all night.

He didn't know what kind of friendship he had with the master.

But judging from what he knew about Master, Master probably liked this eldest son very much.

Although, the old man, what he hates most is the father of the eldest son, Gu Chengqian, the imperial master of the court.

"The medicine you just boiled has been put for a while. Drink it while it's hot."

With some incomprehensible thoughts in his heart, Ji Wuwei put down the tray, and then picked up the seven-percent full medicine bowl and handed it to Gu Juefei.

He woke up at noon.

The wound on his body was so deep that an arrow pierced through his right shoulder, and the whole person fell off the horse, breaking two bones.

If it weren't for Ghost Hand Zhang's medical skills, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to survive it long ago.

Excessive blood loss and weak body made him have a high fever a while ago, and he needed someone to stay by the side all night, watching at any time, for fear of any accident.

It wasn't until this morning that the fever subsided.

His master came and gave another round of acupuncture before he slowly woke up.

It seemed that he had lost a lot of weight all over his body, and there was no blood on his face. He was only wearing a snow-white middle shirt, covered with a thin quilt, and sat by the bed.

The thinner a person is, the more prominent their facial features become.

At this moment, it seemed that there was a strange dejected air, but those eyes, as always, were deep and condensed, like a night sky full of stars.

Gu Juefei is still the same Gu Juefei.

The medicine bowl was handed to him, and he only slightly raised his pale lips, smiled kindly, and said, "Put it aside for now, I'll drink it later."

"Can…"

Ji Wuwei wanted to say that his master had told him to drink it while it was hot, but he just said a word, and felt that this one really didn't seem to be persuading him.

Thinking that the medicine is still hot now, let it go for a while.

The big deal, he will remind him to drink later.

After thinking about it like this, Ji Wuwei still didn't say anything to refute, just nodded and said, "Then you must remember to drink it, I'll collect the medicine bowl later."

Gu Juefei smiled and nodded.

Ji Wuwei didn't seem to be very relieved. After watching him for a while, he quietly backed out with a little hesitation, and closed the door again.

Brush Lala, the rain outside is a lot louder.

Having lived in the capital for many years, he has become accustomed to the occasional showers in the summer afternoon, but today, listening to the rain in a room filled with the smell of bitter medicine in Huishengtang is an unprecedented experience.

Not to mention...

It's life on the line, and it's a narrow escape.

After Ji Wuwei left, he didn't take a look at the medicine bowl, but lowered his eyes and looked at the thing between his fingers.

an arrow.

A **** arrow.

The arrows forged with fine iron have sharp silver light at the tips; the straight arrows are covered with a layer of reddish-brown paint; the originally gray and regular arrow feathers have been dyed dark red by the dried blood. .

This is just the most common arrow in the world.

Can be seen anywhere.

But it was such an ordinary arrow. Seven days ago, it was shot from a bow bent into a full moon, penetrated his body, and made him walk in front of the Palace of Hell.

It was a fluke to survive.

Let me ask, and today, who else can shoot such a terrifying arrow?

Gu Juefei slowly turned the arrow over, and while thinking about it, the dark light at the bottom of his eyes kept flickering.

He suddenly thought about it.

Outside the window is the roar of rain.

There was a lot of noise in the hall.

There are footsteps mixed with the sound of rain, approaching slowly from a distance, occasionally with two voices from others leading the way: "This way."

"…"

Like someone is coming.

Gu Juefei blinked, then slowly raised his head and turned his eyes, looking towards the door.

The next moment, with a squeak, the door opened.

Ji Wuwei, who went back and forth, had a bit of a smile on his face, stood by the door, and took a step back, as if to make way for the approaching person.

"Ma'am, please come in."

The heavy rain in the early summer afternoon relieved the heat.

The rain curtain was like a mist, covering the world outside the door.

The woman walked to the door slowly and silently, with a smile on her face, thanked Ji Wu in a low voice, and then raised her head to look inside the door.

So they saw each other again.

Just like in front of Yanchi Mountain that day, across the empty void, they saw each other at a glance.

There are clearly a thousand words in his heart, and even he felt that he had to say some extra emotional words at this time, which was in line with the mood of seeing each other again after going through life and death.

But for some reason, Gu Juefei couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Those words were rarely thoughtless, and he blurted out: "You can still be safe if you plant it right away. It seems that God is really partial. Treat you kindly, but mean me."
