C23 (1/2)

Gu Nanfeng's voice was trembling, even his hands were trembling. Seeing Liu Yue's head was covered in sweat from the pain, and his face was completely bloodless, how could he remember the matter of the Emperor looking for someone? He only wished that he could help Liu Yue bear this pain and return it to him twice as much.

”I'll get a doctor.” He was forced to do this, and was about to walk out, when he was stopped by Die Ye.

”Yes.” Die Ye also treasured words like gold, but was able to give others a sense of confidence. Gu Nanfeng thought about the prescription he had taken out when he was still young. It had to be a medicinal family to prevent the spread of the plague.

Die Ye sent Gu Nanfeng away and helped her change into a clean set of clothes before giving orders.

”Have a good rest first.” Although Die Ye had always been cold, he still cared deeply about her.

”Thank you.”

”It's my duty to protect you.”

Liu Yue's wound did not recover well. Perhaps it was because of the inflammation, but repeated attacks had caused her to have a high fever. Because Gu Nanfeng wanted to avoid her, he could not accompany her at all times. Instead, he exchanged places with Die Ye to take care of her.

Liu Yue mocked himself

”Maybe I was fated. Dang Yang did not die, and now he is going to die from an arrow.” When she said these words, she was already burning so much that her mind was a little muddled.

Gu Nanfeng replied

”You must have a tough life. The plague of Dang Yang was unable to take your life. What's wrong with this little arrow wound?”

Die Ye advised.

”Fever is a normal thing right now. After two days, the fever will subside and the wound will be healed.”

Liu Yue did not continue speaking, as she fell asleep again. Just as Die Ye said, after burning it for two days, her wounds were no longer pus and the fever had subsided.

Die Ye said as he applied medicine on her

”This is a special medicine that was developed by the young master to target wounds. If a normal person gets arrow wounds, it would take at least ten to fifteen days to half a month to slowly recover. However, this medicine will only let you have high fever for two days and will quickly recover. ”When you're done, I'll apply some medicine to your wound so that it won't leave a scar.”

As Die Ye applied the medicine on her, she said a few more words that were hard to come by. As for Liu Yue, her wounds had taken a turn for the better and her mind had returned to normal.

”Die Ye, I might need your help. This Feng Mansion, I'm afraid something will happen if I stay any longer, and it will harm feudalism. ” She always remembered what Yin Su said that day …

”Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must still find her. Otherwise, I will let you all die with her.”

Yin Su had always kept his promise. And in the past few days, even though Gu Nanfeng did not say anything, his expression was not well, as though he was worried about this matter as well.

Die Ye replied.

”Alright, you can leave anytime you want. We'll leave anytime.”

Die Ye took care of her like how Xuan Yelie used to, when she needed anything. With her here, his heart was at peace.

”Who allowed you to leave?”

Just as they finished speaking, they did not want Gu Nanfeng who had just entered the room to hear them. He looked at Liu Yue with an extremely ugly expression.

”In your eyes, am I, Gu Nanfeng, such a cowardly person? Back then in Danyang, I didn't abandon you. Today in my Feng Mansion, no one can take you away. ”

Maybe because he heard the conversation between Liu Yue and Die Ye, he was angry.

Liu Yue rarely saw Gu Nanfeng getting angry, so she answered after thinking for a while.

”You never asked who I was, where I came from, or if the person the Emperor was looking for was me?”

”Liu Yue, that isn't important. I don't care who you are or where you're from, I only know that you're called Liu Yue and that you're one of my people living in my Feng Mansion. As for the person the Emperor is looking for, it's not you. ”

The last three words he said last time were not 'you', but 'he', word for word.

Just as Liu Yue was about to speak again, Gu Nanfeng interrupted her.

”Don't think about anything else, just stay here and recuperate.”

Knock, knock, knock …

There be knock on his outer bedroom door, It be the old housekeeper

”feudalism, Xin Fei is here.”

Just as he finished speaking, he heard someone push open the door to his bedroom. The sound of footsteps could be heard …

The Xin Fei had already taken a step in, but luckily Gu Nanfeng had already come out of the secret room. Looking at Xin Fei, he asked calmly.

”Going out of the palace on your own again?”

The Xin Fei had originally been somewhat agitated, rushing back to Feng Mansion from the palace. Now that she saw Gu Nanfeng looking as if he was about to face a great catastrophe yet did not know it at all, her anger completely attacked her heart …

”Big Brother, who exactly was the person the Emperor met that day in the rear garden? The Emperor has already ordered that within three days, if you still do not hand over the person, then you, Feng Mansion, will be razed. ”

Gu Nanfeng sat on the chair, after hearing what the Xin Fei said, he remained unmoved, and continued to fiddle with the goatee jade ring on his finger, and nonchalantly replied.

”There is no one in the Feng Mansion that the Emperor is looking for.”

”Big brother, it was a huge mistake when Daddy let you out. Ever since I was young, father and mother have praised you for being smart and sensible, and said that I was capricious and willful. But now? I don't know who you're protecting now, but the Emperor is already in a rage. If you can't find someone in the next three days, it won't be as simple as razing your Feng Mansion, but the entire Gu Family, father's position as prime minister, my position in the harem, all of it will be sealed, and I will be buried with you. ”

Her words finally made Gu Nanfeng look up at her.

”Alright, tell me, who is the emperor looking for? In my Feng Mansion, you are the clearest, I have never been solid with officials, and only dealt with a few business commoners. ”Just who was it that caused the Emperor to make such a ruckus?”

Xin Fei was stumped by Gu Nanfeng's question.

”His Majesty won't say a single word. I heard from Eunuch An that it was a woman who was injured by an arrow. On that day, a guard shot her, so it's impossible for her to run far. Elder brother, whether it's someone you know or someone you don't know, someone you want to hide from, or someone you know, it's imperative that you hand over that person first. Otherwise, our Gu Family will be doomed to never recover. ”

”You go back first.” Gu Nanfeng was still unwilling to let go, refusing to reveal even the slightest of information.

In the end, when the Xin Fei left, he only said one sentence …

”Brother, if you still have the surname Gu, then you can't be so selfish.”
