Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 253 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (43)

Jiang Qiuchen was covered in blood, and he shouted so hard, like the last roar of a person who had suffered injustice before dying. In the end, he even vomited a large pool of blood.

Wen Rushi watched Jiang Qiuchen's dramatic performance at a loss, his frightened eyes clearly showing: This plot was not in the script given to me in advance, right?

Covering himself with messy hair, Jiang Qiuchen glanced back, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and mouthed something.

"fake."

Wen Rushi's tense body finally relaxed a little and he shook his head helplessly.

Although the people around were curious, they did not dare to step forward to check because of Gu Xiao's bad reputation. They were afraid that their families would be implicated, so they could only stay far away and talk about it.

"Oh my god, these two people just wanted to save the child this afternoon and accidentally blocked the road. They suffered such treatment. It's really scary."

"They are both born from the same mother, so why is Gu Xiao so different from his elder brother? One is a great general who guards the border for the people, while the other is a playboy who makes trouble all day long."

"What a sin! You must be more careful next time and don't provoke this evil spirit."

……

Under the pointing and gesturing of the crowd, Wen Rushi "tried hard" to stand up and dragged the "unconscious" Jiang Qiuchen up.

The two of them staggered away like a pair of mandarin ducks in distress.

When he reached a corner where no one could see him, he stood up straight as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

"Miss Jiang! Here!"

"The Master ordered us to come pick you up, follow us!"

The guards hiding in the dark had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the two of them, they greeted them in a low voice.

After Jiang Qiuchen discovered it in time, he crouched down and slipped past, entering the palace through a secret door that was rarely visited by people.

"Crack - clap -"

Although she hadn't seen the person, she had heard his voice first. Before Jiang Qiuchen's eyes found Gu Xiao's figure, she heard crisp applause, followed by Gu Xiao's jokes.

"I'm not saying anything, but Sister Jiang's performance is simply amazing, and her emotions are so on point."

"I have to reflect on whether I have really abused you in every way."

"When I saw you vomiting blood while hiding in the crack of the door, I was really shocked."

After being praised, Jiang Qiuchen did not show any modesty but burst into laughter. However, before he could even laugh a few more times, Gu Xiao forcibly covered his mouth.

"No, don't smile. Your big red mouth looks scary. Let the maid take you downstairs to wash up first."

After realizing that he had scared someone, Jiang Qiuchen covered his mouth and squinted his eyes embarrassedly.

"You two, please follow me."

The maid led the way, and the two were taken to their own well-prepared rooms, where they washed their faces and changed their clothes.

Only after Qingshuang appeared again did Gu Xiao nod with satisfaction.

"It looks much better now. Otherwise, you look so miserable. I'm afraid you'll come to me to kill me when I sleep at night."

"It's not that exaggerated!" Jiang Qiuchen was a little dissatisfied and raised his fist and waved it as a warning.

"There is no time to lose. Let's go see my mother first to see if the actual situation is the same as you said."

After joking with Jiang Qiucheng for a few words, Gu Xiao immediately calmed down and became much more serious.

This kind of expression on his face was rare, and Wen Rushi did not dare to relax and nodded slightly.

The group of people moved quickly, and soon they arrived outside the princess's bedroom. "You guys wait in the side hall, I'll go explain to my mother first."

Jiang Qiuchen and Wen Rushi sat down as instructed and waited quietly.

……

"Auntie!"

The princess was sitting at the table studying scriptures. She was concentrating fully when she suddenly heard someone calling her and was startled.

"Xiao'er? Why did you suddenly come to my place so late at night? What happened?"

Gu Xiao walked forward and knelt beside the princess, observing her carefully.

Just as Wen Rushi said, in this slightly cool season, A'niang seemed to be completely unaffected and wore light clothes.

"How is your health lately, mother? Have you ever felt unwell?"

Although the princess didn't know why her youngest son suddenly asked about this, she still told him the truth since the child cared about her.

"Nothing else, but there is a small problem."

"What little problem?!" Hearing this, Gu Xiao couldn't help but asked hurriedly.

The princess reached out and touched the top of his head, signaling him not to be so anxious.

"I just feel hot lately and it's hard for me to fall asleep at night."

"Even if I finally fall asleep, I will wake up groggy again not long after."

"Because I didn't sleep well, my appetite has also decreased a bit, and I feel a little tired."

That’s right! It’s exactly the same as what Wen Rushi said!
"Mother! Why didn't you tell your son? My eldest brother is not at home, and I am the only man in the family. Naturally, I have to take good care of you."

"I didn't even know you were feeling unwell. If Big Brother comes back in a few days, he'll scold me to death!"

"Did you find a doctor in time? Did they prescribe any medicine?"

In fact, Gu Xiao couldn't be blamed. The princess' illness came from a strange source, and it was difficult for ordinary people to tell from her appearance at a glance.

Because most of the patients are tortured by these various diseases and their faces are haggard, few can be as radiant as the princess, without any loss of beauty.

"I have found it, and I have written a prescription. I have ordered my servants to boil it for several days, but after taking it, there is no obvious change."

"You're busy running around all day, so I didn't think this illness was serious, so I didn't tell you. Xiao'er, don't blame yourself."

Although the princess comforted him and told him not to worry, mother and son are connected by heart. Once Gu Xiao knew about this, how could he remain at peace?

Unless this disease is cured, he will be the one suffering from insomnia next.

"Mother, don't be discouraged. I have found a doctor who can cure this disease for you."

"I'll call him in right now to check your pulse and see if you're ill."

A hint of confusion flashed across the princess's face. She had never heard Xiao'er talk about this before. Did he know any great doctors?
"Where did Xiaoer invite this doctor from? But he is a master in our Lingzhou City?"

Gu Xiao shook his head to express his disapproval.

"It's not one of those old men in Lingzhou, but a young man who is only slightly older than my son."

"But don't worry, mother. Since I've called you here to treat you, I've got to get through this first."

"To be honest, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known that my mother was sick."

The more he talked, the more mysterious it became. The princess was now really curious about this young doctor.
