The continuous high fever caused Gu Hanhan to fall into a coma. All the doctors were helpless, and even drinking the magical medicinal soup Isatis root had no effect.
The first and second valets were frightened. They grabbed the cold pack and looked at Anthony anxiously, hoping that he would come forward and ask Lin Xiao to save him.
However, Anthony's reaction was almost cruel: "Let her faint! If the medicine doesn't work, then there's no need to feed her anymore! Wasn't it just David Duran who died because of her? There will be countless people who will die for her in the future!" If you can’t withstand this blow, what will you do to bear the fate of more people in the future?!”
"Take Uchi away," he said. "It's time for him to go to bed."
The manservant remained silent and quickly took Wuqi away from the hospital bed and handed him to the nanny.
Anthony took the ice pack from one of the valets and motioned for the servants to step back. After everyone in the room was gone, he sat next to Gu Hanhan and applied an ice pack to her while gritting his teeth and cursing in his mind: "David Duran, this bastard!"
After struggling like this for three days and three nights, Gu Hanhan's high fever finally subsided on its own. When I woke up, I was surrounded by valets. The voice of one of the valets was filled with joy, and he eagerly helped Gu Hanhan up, took a bath, changed clothes, and invited the doctor to come for diagnosis.
"Don't take a shower first, eat first." Gu Hanhan said, "You don't need a doctor. I'm cured, and I can prescribe isatis root myself even if I'm not cured."
The dining table was brought immediately. After having a hearty meal, Gu Hanhan finally felt a little confident, so he got out of bed and let the valet take care of the bathing and dressing. While one of the valets was arranging Gu Hanhan's hair, he considered her expression and carefully reported: "Miss, there is a man named Gal from the Dulan family who wants to see you. He is waiting below now."
"Mr. Gal?" Gu Hanhan looked back, "Invite him quickly."
She then stood up, put on a dress, and asked, "Where's Anthony?"
"Sir has been in the study," the valet asked, "do you want to invite him over now?"
"No need for now." Gu Hanhan shook his head. Since Anthony was at home and Gal could visit openly, he must have given his acquiescence. The reason why Anthony didn't appear here was probably because he didn't want to interfere with himself. As for David's funeral -
Soon, the second valet led Gal to Gu Hanhan's living room. A few days later, when we met again, it felt like a lifetime ago. For a moment, I really felt a sense of sadness that I didn’t know where to say it, and I didn’t know where to leave my tears.
Gal still knelt down and called, "Miss Gu."
Gu Hanhan's eyes turned red, and she walked over and helped him up: "Mr. Gal, are you okay? How is your family? I'm talking about David's funeral. I don't know when the funeral will be arranged. I want to see him off. It’s the last trip, but I don’t know if it’s the right one.”
Gal smiled bitterly: "There is nothing wrong with you going, but the master's funeral is still far away. I don't know when it will be confirmed."
"The various families in the sect have been quarreling over the distribution of inheritance. Chairman Crassus of the association personally presided over the mediation several times but failed. We don't know how long the dispute will last, and maybe there will be a fight in the end. "He said, "If there is no result in the distribution of the inheritance, the owner cannot be buried, and the time of the funeral cannot be determined."
A wave of anger rushed over Gu Hanhan's head: "David just died, and they started guarding his body -"
However, she quickly became discouraged: "Forget it, David doesn't care about that anyway. It's their own business how they like to bite dogs and snatch a leftover bone."
"What about you, Mr. Gall," she asked, "what do you plan to do next?"
Gal said sadly: "Since the master has returned to the sea of stars, we and others should naturally follow him and live in seclusion from now on. Previously, I was gifted by the master, and I also accumulated some property for the family, including a few crowns, which can be used for livelihood, but - -" He hesitated for a moment and then said calmly: "The vast sea of stars is filled with everything in the hub of the Acropolis. Now that I have lost the protection of my master, I am afraid that such a retreat will not last long. In the end, my family and country will inevitably be lost."
Gu Hanhan couldn't help but frown: "Don't the Dulan family want to protect you?"
She was now familiar with the code of the Acropolis, so she was very puzzled: "Since you are David's attendant, and you were originally from the Duran family, now that David has passed away, as long as you ask for surrender, how can they refuse to provide you with asylum?" ? And logically speaking, you are David's senior attendant, and you are free and no longer a slave. When David dies, the vassal relationship will no longer exist. If the Dulan family refuses to protect you, you can always seek help from other families. of asylum.”
"According to the patriarchal law, the Dulan family, as the heirs of the master's legal system, cannot refuse to accept the master's past vassals and must give them shelter." Gal shook his head, "But the old gentleman has never had his own opinion, and Master Oliver is like this. , how can such a large situation be maintained? There are many major families in the sect who have the same family background as Dulan's family, and they are bound to be unwilling to join again. Once the big nobles of the Acropolis leave, the other small and medium-sized families will inevitably follow the popular sentiment. We have to go our separate ways. The tree fell and the hozens dispersed, the legal system was cut off, and the complete disintegration of the sect was inevitable. All that was left was how to divide the inheritance, which is why we have been fighting for so long with no results."
"The legacy of the sect's legal system is the guards and attendants. The former represents force, the latter represents territory and rights, and the family represents both force and territory and rights. How should the guards and attendants who are slaves in the sect be distributed? There is a clear text, but there is nothing to say. What is really fought for is the upper-level vassal who regains independence and freedom when the vassal relationship is dissolved after the death of the master. Of course, the powerful families choose to be independent, and the other small and medium-sized families with weak strength and even the capable people and countries who are independent vassals Or if the consortium does not want to die or become a ranger again and be driven into the universe, it will inevitably have to find a backer. Compared with the huge price paid by the Acropolis nobles outside the sect, it is obvious to rely on the familiar big families within the sect. More advantageous. Because after the disintegration of the sect, it is the obligation of these independent big families to provide shelter to other vassals in the sect. As long as it is proposed, it must be accepted free of charge. The sect will eventually be divided among several big nobles, and each big noble They all have their traditional spheres of influence, and after carving up, exchange of interests and redistribution of rights and interests are inevitable. Therefore, this is almost an opportunity for everyone in the sect to change their family—"
Speaking of this, Gal's expression was a bit miserable: "But we are the only ones that cannot be included. We have been with the master for many years, and we are already deep in the mud in the Acropolis, with no chance to get out -"
With this said, Gu Hanhan understood that the disintegration was an opportunity for the lower-level guards and servants in the sect to change their families, but it was absolutely impossible for a man like Gal who once dominated the high position of deputy chief of guards. That’s not the case anymore. Needless to say, there was a gap. The Deputy Attendant was already at the pinnacle of the Acropolis' power system. No matter which family he joined in the future, he would never be able to obtain such a high position of power. The worst thing about the situation is that there may not even be a chance to join other families to endure this gap. It is impossible because of the desire to live in seclusion. After all, the Acropolis is a cruel and realistic place. I always see new people smiling but no old people crying. Gal stayed with David Duran for too long, and his position was too high. He had countless resources and secrets and even all kinds of dark history. David's death was so sudden, and there were no arrangements for his funeral. The person had no time to prepare, but suddenly he became a kid walking around the busy city with a lot of money? If after David's death, there is a powerful family behind him that can continue to integrate the sect, then as long as Gaal and the others hand over their power and positions, they may have a chance to escape unscathed in exchange for the protection of their relatives' property. However, the reality is that the sect left by David itself has extremely powerful nobles and vassals that can be counted on one hand. Although the Duran family is also a great noble of the Acropolis and a thorn branch, they have to overwhelm the other nobles in one fell swoop to dominate the unification. David's legacy is a dream, and complete schism and disintegration are inevitable. And once the sect disintegrates, the crime of people like Jia Er is that everyone will pounce on it, grab it, fry it, fry it, wash it, steam it in a drawer, and eat it carefully. The result that everyone wants is that no one can get it. If the minds of the great nobles cannot be used by me, they cannot be used by others. If they cannot benefit me, at least they cannot be harmful to me. Who knows if other families will use his secret resources to deal with me? The result of the mutual compromise between the great nobles is that no one can protect them, and they will only work together to force and squeeze the interests in his hands, and let the secrets they hold that cannot be seen in the light become secrets forever. Faced with this situation, for Gal, it was indeed easier to find a rope to hang himself.
Gu Hanhan felt pity in his heart and couldn't bear it. He said, "Mr. Gal, if you don't dislike me, please follow me first."
Gal came here for this reason, so he bowed to Gu Hanhan on the spot and said, "I will serve the lady like my master from now on."
Gu Hanhan pulled Gal up: "Don't say that, Mr. Gal. David is such a wicked guy. He walked away as soon as he closed his eyes. It's all over, but the remaining people still have to live on. Let's be in the same boat together." , speaking of which, I am even counting on you to help me plan and host so that I can save my life in the future. My brain, you know, Mr. Gall, is really not enough for the crazy people like Acropolis to look at. Anyway, he is a sugar daddy, and I am a sugar daddy. , plus you’re still here, let’s all join together! Anthony will probably stay in Beacon Planet for a long time, so there’s no need to worry about him dumping me in a while. Get through this now, and we’ll see you again in a few years If something unexpected happens, there’s still time to get out.”
Gal refused to give in and immediately said: "I am planning something for the young lady!"
He then said: "I think the situation the young lady is facing now is very critical, and there is really no condition to continue to sleep peacefully."
Gu Hanhan was stunned. She didn't expect that she just admitted that she didn't have enough brains. Mr. Gal used this method to nail her down and seal the coffin.
