After Su Rong and Fengling entered the city, they didn't have time to change their clothes and ran straight to the Protector's Mansion.
At this time, in the Duke Protector's Mansion, even though Imperial Physician Xu came up with local methods and took action himself, and the old Duke Cooperated with him, the two of them were busy for an hour or two, but Zhou Gu's fever still could not be reduced.
The old Protector's face turned pale after having gone through many trials and hardships. He couldn't hold it back. He walked out of the room and asked Princess Sheng'an, "Is Su Yatou not here yet?"
Princess Sheng'an shook her head.
Prince Yan didn't leave even after hearing the news, and kept waiting outside the door. After taking a quick look, he asked, "Auntie, when will you send someone to the Great Buddhist Temple?"
"Not long before you arrived."
Yan Huisheng calculated the time and frowned, "She's afraid something happened on the road and she was delayed."
He remembered something and immediately called out, "Here comes someone, holding the Gu Yao Plate, go to the Great Buddha Temple to pick him up..."
Before he finished speaking, a series of footsteps came from outside, and the housekeeper cried with joy: "Come, come, Miss Su Qi is here."
Yan Hui stopped talking.
Princess Sheng'an stood up and walked out of the room quickly.
The group of people walked out of the door and saw Su Rong and Fengling being led to Zhou Gu's Shuanglin Garden. Su Rong's body was stained with blood, and even her face was stained with blood. The same was true for Fengling. Although he He was wearing dark clothes, but it was not difficult to see the wounds on his body that had been slashed by swords.
Princess Sheng'an immediately stopped and said, "Su Rong, what are you...you..."
"Grandpa Zhou, eldest princess, I'm fine, it's other people's blood." Su Rong's voice was calm, with a frosty color, "Has Zhou Gu's fever subsided?"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an calmed down and shook her head, "The fever persists, and Dr. Xu has tried some home-made methods, including ice compresses and medicated wine, but they don't work."
Su Rong nodded, "Let me take a look."
Princess Sheng'an nodded repeatedly and said with red eyes: "I'm waiting for you."
Su Rong stepped into the door and was stunned for a moment when she saw Yan Huisheng, "His Royal Highness?"
Yan responded with a "hmm" and said warmly: "Go and see Zhou Gu quickly. It's important to save people."
Su Rong nodded.
The Duke's wife opened the door curtain herself, and Su Rong went directly into the room. Fengling then followed her in. He was also trained in medical skills.
Doctor Xu was helpless at this time. He was covered in sweat. When he saw Su Rong coming, she was covered in blood. She was also frightened and quickly moved away from the bed.
Zhou Gu was lying on the bed, unconscious, his whole body was flushed with fever, and his face no longer looked good.
Su Rong put her hand on his forehead. It was as hot as a soldering iron. She took Zhou Gu's pulse again. After a moment, she took out a medicine bottle from her arms, poured two pills directly, and stuffed it into Zhou Gu's mouth. inside.
Zhou Gu gritted his teeth, unable to get the medicine in.
Su Rong was not polite and directly grabbed his chin, exerting force on his wrist. Zhou Gu couldn't hold it anymore and opened his mouth. He stuffed the medicine into his mouth.
Fengling felt ashamed when she saw Su Rong's rude appearance.
After Su Rong gave Zhou Gu two pills, he turned to Doctor Xu and said, "Please show me the prescription you prescribed."
Doctor Xu agreed repeatedly and quickly handed her two prescriptions.
After Su Rong read ten lines at a glance, she stood there and thought for a while, walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote a prescription. She wrote quickly, like dragons and phoenixes. After she finished writing, she handed it to Fengling directly, " You go and get the medicine with the housekeeper."
The main reason why she let Fengling go was because she was afraid that others wouldn't recognize her handwriting.
Fengling took the prescription and immediately dragged the housekeeper away.
In less than a tea break before and after Su Rong entered the house, she fed Zhou Gu medicine and wrote out a prescription. Her actions were so crisp that even Dr. Xu didn't see clearly what medicine she was giving. What prescription?
Doctor Xu was very curious, but at this time, he had no time to ask.
The old Protector, Princess Sheng'an, Yan Huisheng and others didn't ask, and assumed that Su Rong had made the decision on his own.
The Duke's wife wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said to Su Rong, "I'll ask someone to prepare water. You go next door and take a bath first."
Just looking at Su Rong's appearance, one can tell
He told her how hard it was for her to come here.
Su Rong shook his head, "Don't worry yet, wait until Zhou Gu's fever subsides."
The Duke's wife could only nod.
Yan Hui asked warmly: "Did you encounter trouble on the road?"
Su Rong nodded, "Four groups of people will do whatever they can."
Yan Huisheng asked in a deep voice: "Is it the killer from Nanchu or the killer from Daliang?"
"They should all be there." Su Rong said, "I don't have time to pay attention to them. Anyway, I killed them all and didn't care about the corpses."
She was in a hurry to come to Beijing. No matter who she intercepted, no one was as anxious as Zhou Zhou. There was no secret guard left to deal with it. She needed someone to protect her all the way to Beijing. With one more secret guard, she would have more protection and her movements would be faster.
Yan Hui nodded and said, "Come here."
Someone entered the room, "Your Highness."
Yan Huihui ordered, "After you take Gu's token and lead the people out of the city, there will be four batches of corpses along the way from the capital to the Great Buddha Temple. After searching the corpses, they will be carried back to the capital and placed in the morgue."
He wants his good father to see again, this capital has really become a sieve.
This person must have gone immediately.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an stretched out her hand to hold Su Rong's hand, with wetness in her eyes, "My child, I have really worked hard for you. If it weren't for Brother Gu's danger, I wouldn't have had to work so hard for you to rush back to Beijing at night, but you encountered so many killers. I I didn't think of it because I was anxious, otherwise I should have sent more people to pick you up."
Su Rong shook his head, "You're welcome. Zhou Gu is in danger. I'm proficient in pharmacology, so you should seek me out. There are secret guards around me, so as long as they don't use soldiers and horses, I'm not afraid. On my way to Beijing, the last thing I saw was I’m worried that someone will send troops to stop me.”
Princess Sheng'an immediately shook her head, "No, the Protector's Palace will never allow anyone to attract the attention of the military, not even His Majesty's Jinglu Army Camp."
This has been the confidence of the Protectorate for so many years. Of course, it is also something that His Majesty is afraid of.
Yan Huisheng also said at the side: "If there is chaos in the army, it will be trouble, but you can rest assured about this. At least in the capital city, no one dares to mobilize troops privately."
Su Rong smiled, "I thought so too."
But she was really worried at that time. After all, this capital city was so chaotic.
Today, His Majesty has been suppressing the Crown Prince and guarding against the Duke Protector's Office for many years. He claims that he has everything under control. The tighter he tightens his grip, the more he uses checks and balances. Little does he know that underneath, the undercurrent is surging, as ugly as loose sand.
The Duke's wife personally poured a glass of water and handed it to Su Rong, "Moisturize your throat."
Su Rong reached out and took it, "Thank you, Auntie."
Princess Sheng'an asked again: "Are you hungry? Can I bring you a plate of pastries?"
Su Rong shook her head, "You don't have to worry if you're not hungry."
At this time, Zhou Gu on the bed suddenly started murmuring again, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Su Rong turned her head to look at Zhou Gu and saw that the corners of his mouth were moving. She didn't know what he was saying. She thought he wanted to drink water, so she came closer with the water and leaned close to his lips to listen. The murmur was not asking for water, but Su Rong suddenly froze when he called her name.
Everyone in the room had been listening for half the night. At this time, they all looked at Su Rong and were a little silent.
Especially Doctor Xu, he had heard enough. At first, he didn't understand what Zhou Gu was saying, but later when he was using local methods to cool him down, he finally understood. He was shocked, thinking that since he liked Su Miss Seven, why did you agree to break off the engagement? As expected, he is a young man who is quite good at torturing himself.
Yan Huisheng was not in a good mood. While he was waiting for Zhou Gu to subside, he also entered the house and naturally heard it. Thinking that Su Rong was an extremely independent person, she simply backed out of Zhou Gu's marriage, turned around and accepted Ye Guixue's betrothal gift of one hundred thousand soldiers and horses without hesitation, and agreed to Ye Guixue's marriage. Now Zhou Gu couldn't let go of her and being known by her, but looking at her frozen body and expression, she wasn't indifferent after all, right?
Who said he was heartless? Her treatment of Zhou Gu was not determined by a single word of indifference.
Su Rong only froze for a moment, then naturally handed the water she had not drunk to Zhou Gu's lips, "Zhou Gu, drink water."
Zhou Gu's babble stopped.
Su Rong brought the water to his lips, caught it with a handkerchief, tilted the water flow, and poured some water into his mouth. This time, Zhou Gu opened his mouth and swallowed.
Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief. He was still conscious, not burned to death, and could still be saved.
After feeding Zhou Gu a little water, she withdrew her hand, turned around and put the water on the table. Of course she couldn't drink what Zhou Gu had drank.
The Duke's wife quickly poured a new glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink this."
Su Rong took it, slowly put it to his mouth, and then explained, "I just fed him two Pills of Strengthening the Origin and Returning the Yuan. This medicine can protect his life. He will drink the medicine I prescribed later." , see if it works, if not, I will give him acupuncture, which will always bring down his fever, don’t worry."
When Princess Sheng'an heard this, her heart suddenly relaxed. She knew that this Strengthening and Rejuvenating Pill was really hard to find, so the palace took one. In your Majesty's hands, it was a rare and hard-to-find medicine. If Su Rong also She had no choice but to go to the palace to ask for help from the emperor. Unexpectedly, Su Rong took out two at once.
If she were told that one pill of this medicine could protect Zhou Gu's life, Su Rong would really give it up.
Everyone waited patiently for a while. Fengling and the housekeeper came in with medicine bowls. Su Rong sat still and said to Fengling, "Feed him in."
Fengling nodded. He couldn't be like Su Rong and rudely opened Zhou Gu's mouth to feed the medicine. But fortunately, Zhou Gu seemed to have some consciousness after Su Rong fed the water. When the medicine came to his mouth, he cooperated very well. Opening his mouth, he drank the bowl of medicine smoothly even though it was difficult to swallow.
The Duke's wife wiped the medicine stains from the corners of Zhou Gu's mouth and asked someone to take the empty medicine bowl away.
Everyone waited for a while, and Dr. Xu said in surprise: "Miss Su Qi's prescription worked, and the fever has been reduced!"
Su Rong also breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhou Gu didn't reduce his fever after taking this medicine, she would have no choice but to give him acupuncture. However, she had to take off her clothes to give him acupuncture. She was not forced to do so. She still hoped that the medicine would work.
