Gu Shufei's eyes flashed slightly and her smile was as bright as a flower: "I guessed that you were here to deliver medicine to me, so even though my eyes were dark these past few days, I never worried."
The masked man was stung by the smile on her face, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Soon you will get married, I will not come again, please take care of me."
Gu Shufei's smile condensed.
The originally joyful and public atmosphere in the room became colder and colder. After a long time, Gu Shufei's crying voice sounded: "Then can you tell me your name?"
"You have always avoided me. I have been favored by you for decades but I don't even know your name... Now I am about to jump into the pit of fire, and you will abandon me."
Gu Shufei pretended to be pitiful, with tears in her eyes: "You clearly know that what I like is..."
"enough."
The masked man suddenly interrupted Gu Shufei: "I'm just taking care of you because of someone else's entrustment. I don't want to tell you your name for your own good."
"You just suffered too much, so you mistakenly thought of me as the one you love. The third prince has good conduct, outstanding literary talent, and outstanding appearance. You will like him."
After saying that, he stood up to leave. Gu Shufei hurriedly held him tight: "I can tell the difference between love and kindness! I'm not a fool!"
"What third prince? I don't like you at all. Even if you don't want to accept me, why don't you leave me a thought?"
Gu Shufei showed weakness again, tears fell down in big drops, causing a small splash of water.
Finally, the masked man sighed slightly: "Master Yan."
It sounds like a pseudonym.
Gu Shufei complained in her heart, but cried with joy on her face: "Yanshi, Yanshi, what a good name."
She slowly let go of her hand: "I will remember it forever."
Yanshi seemed a little puzzled: "Don't you look down on the Third Prince at all?"
"He has always had very good reviews in Beijing, and there are no bad reviews."
Gu Shufei gave a bitter smile: "Who am I? It doesn't matter whether I look down on you or not. The three princes on my left and right hate me so much that they will just live a casual life when they get married."
There was silence on the other side.
No more words were said until the aroma completely dissipated.
Gu Shufei sat blankly and suddenly sighed.
I thought I could count on Yanshi to cancel the marriage, but he didn't expect that he was very optimistic about the third prince.
Feeling gloomy, Gu Shufei simply opened the medicine bottle and studied the ingredients of the medicine.
Sure enough, the medicine had a unique medicinal smell that Gu Shufei had never seen before.
After pouring out one pill and taking it, the pain in his eyes immediately eased a lot, making Gu Shufei even more suspicious of Yan Shi's identity.
She silently sorted out what happened in the past few days in her mind: Chu Yang's tragic death, the fire in the ancestral hall, the master's strange fragrance, Yan Shi...
It seems that the answers are all on the table, but inside they are shrouded in clouds and fog, and no evidence can be found so far.
Gu Shufei was thinking about it, but the door was suddenly knocked open. Cuiyan's breath was flustered: "Eldest, eldest lady, the third prince is here to see you!"
Gu Shufei's expression went blank for an instant.
When she reacted, she was a little unbelievable: "Who is coming to see me?"
This time Cuiyan did not answer, but a clear voice said: "This king is here to see you."
Gu Shufei was stunned again.
But she quickly came to her senses, with a gentle smile on her face: "It turns out to be the prince, and I am really flattered."
"It's just that you and I are not married yet, so it would be inappropriate to meet alone like this..."
Lu Shiyan glanced at Cuiyan.
This glance at Qing Lingling made Cui Yan tremble all over, and she hurriedly stepped forward and leaned into Gu Shufei's ear: "Miss, the third prince also brought a doctor."
Gu Shufei's smile froze, and then she stood up calmly: "Third Prince, doctor, please sit down."
Lu Shiyan raised his head and looked around the room.
As expected, it was extremely shabby, with only a bed and a table, and the screen was faded and old.
Thinking back to the desolate and narrow courtyard just now, it had been snowing for more than half a month, but there was not even a decent road to walk out, and it was even more freezing cold inside the house.
Gu Shufei seemed to be aware of his eyes looking around, coughed slightly and ordered: "Cui Yan, go and light the charcoal basin."
Cuiyan left in a hurry and soon came in carrying a charcoal basin with thick smoke. Lu Shiyan and the doctor frowned and coughed.
"The eldest lady has a serious eye disease. You must not smoke it with bad carbon. Take it out quickly!" The doctor coughed until tears flowed out and hurriedly ordered Cui Yan.
After Cuiyan heard this, she hurriedly carried it out again, and the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Shufei looked sad and embarrassed: "I thought I would warm the two of you up in the cold room, but instead you laughed at it."
She lowered her head, and her slender white neck curved into a fragile and graceful arc.
The doctor sighed: "Miss, you are suffering."
Gu Shufei immediately showed a strong and weak smile.
The doctor became increasingly unbearable and asked Gu Shufei softly to stretch out his hand to check the pulse. After a moment, he softly said "Eh".
Gu Shufei said: "Is there any cure?"
"It can be cured, but the lady's eyes don't look like they were smoked, but more like they were poisoned!"
Even though he already knew the result, Gu Shufei still pretended to be frightened: "Poisoned! Doctor, do you know what the poison is?!"
The doctor said: "It seems to be the poison of smoke barrier, but it is not very serious. I will prescribe some medicine for you. You should take it regularly for about three months and you will be fine."
Gu Shufei nodded slightly, thinking that the medicine Yanshi gave only lasted for one month, which was much better than this doctor.
"Then I'll help you, doctor." Gu Shufei smiled gratefully, and the doctor sighed again when he saw it.
He has been practicing medicine for many years and has seen a lot of human relationships in the world. However, the good-hearted prime minister and the eldest daughter were poisoned. There are discords in them that he, a doctor, cannot know.
The most I can do is add more licorice to make the medicine less bitter.
After finishing the examination, Gu Shufei planned to see the guests off, but unexpectedly Lu Shiyan said: "You go and prescribe the prescription first. I have something to say to Miss Gu."
The doctor responded respectfully, but Gu Shufei's heart was lifted.
She smiled calmly and said, "I wonder if the Third Prince has anything to say to me?"
Then he loudly ordered Cuiyan to make tea.
"If you still want to repeat your old tricks and deliberately make some coarse tea to drive me away, you don't have to waste any time."
Lu Shiyan's light and low voice sounded like beads falling from a jade plate.
Gu Shufei raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "Your Majesty is so pampered, but he doesn't know that for you, the coarse tea with low carbon content is already the best thing for me."
Lu Shiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Shufei with his deep eyes: "I have already understood your situation. I didn't come to see you just to see you pretending to be pitiful or innocent."
"Then what did the prince come to see?" Gu Shufei became more and more wary in her heart, but her face became more innocent and kind.
"I came here because I wanted to know about my fiancée," Lu Shiyan quietly approached at some point. His cold and strong fingers lifted Gu Shufei's chin, forcing her to look up at him.
"Still my fiancée?"
Gu Shufei smiled slightly: "I don't understand what the prince means."
Even though she couldn't see it, Gu Shufei could clearly feel a captivating gaze firmly locked on her, like a frog being stared at by a snake.
"Then let me put it another way, Gu Shufei, is it still Gu Shufei?"
