Shen Shi was stunned.
After a moment of silence, he was about to speak when Su Ruotang interrupted him lightly, "I'm just kidding."
After finishing speaking, she looked at Gu Shuya, "Miss Gu, is it convenient to visit General Gu now?"
Gu Shuya nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you, the third prince."
Su Ruotang smiled softly, picked up the veil and put it on, "General Gu is fighting for the country. As a junior, I should pay him a visit."
When passing by Shen Shi, Su Ruotang paused and asked in a calm voice, "Do these flowers have to be planted in Songxueyuan?"
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment: "His Royal Highness just asked his subordinates to deliver it to you..."
"Then throw it away."
…
Zhenguo General's Mansion.
Following Gu Shuya to the main courtyard, Su Ruotang was startled when she saw Gu Luo lying on a lounge chair in the courtyard.
According to age, Gu Luo is only in his fifties, but he looks as old as an old man in his seventies.
His beard and hair are white, his eyes are sunken, and his eyes are purple.
It was obvious that his foundation had been damaged during his early years of fighting, and the toxins in his body had not been cleared.
If the poison is removed, there will be at most three years left to live.
There seems to be a new poison in his body that causes him to lose life faster.
Gu Luo saw Su Ruotang and stood up on the recliner, "I have met the third prince's concubine."
Su Ruotang turned sideways, avoiding the salute, and nodded slightly, "Junior, I hope you will forgive me for interrupting, General Gu."
Gu Shuya stepped forward, took Gu Luo's hand, and said with a gentle smile: "Grandpa, the third prince's concubine has superb medical skills. My granddaughter invited her here today because she wants to trouble her to nurse you back to health."
Gu Luo sighed softly: "I am an old man, I can only live in a few days. You really shouldn't bother the third prince and concubine."
When Gu Shuya heard this, her eyes turned slightly red, "Grandpa..."
"General Gu is the pillar of Dongqi. I have to trouble you to watch Dongqi for a few more years." Su Ruotang's sweet voice broke the sad atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson.
Gu Shuya wiped the ends of her eyes carelessly, her watery eyes filled with hope, "Third Princess, can you save grandpa?"
Su Ruotang nodded: "Let's go inside and talk. I'll take General Gu's pulse first."
Stepping into the house, Su Ruotang paused for a moment, glanced at the incense burner on the low table, eyes flashed, and asked casually: "Old General Gu, do you like medicinal incense?"
Gu Luo was supported by Gu Shuya and sat on the low couch. After hearing this, he realized something was wrong and asked solemnly: "Is there something wrong with this incense?"
Su Ruotang didn't expect him to be so alert and didn't hide it, "The medicinal materials in this incense seem to be good for the body and strengthen the body, but in fact the medicinal properties conflict with each other and form a colorless and odorless poison that is difficult for doctors to detect. .”
At this point, she hesitated and said the rest of her words, "The poisoned person's body gradually becomes weak, but he cannot notice anything strange. After a month, his internal organs suddenly fail and he dies."
After hearing this, Gu Shuya's expression changed, she stepped forward and threw the incense burner out of the window, and asked hurriedly: "Third Princess, grandpa, he has been burning incense for seven days..."
Seven days...
Su Ruotang's long eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the fluctuation in her eyes.
She raised the corners of her lips, her brows and eyes showing bright confidence, "Since I can detect it, I can naturally understand it."
"It's just that General Gu accumulated some toxins in his body in his early years, which have been eroding his body. I need to recuperate his body first, and then completely detoxify him."
Gu Shuya knelt down in front of her without hesitation: "Miss Su's kindness will be unforgettable for Shuya."
"In this life, whenever Miss Su is in need, Shuya will do her best to help."
Su Ruotang was startled and quickly helped her up, "Miss Gu, get up quickly."
Tan Zhixi was also startled by her actions. Together with Su Ruotang, she helped her up and asked, "Shuya, when did Grandpa Gu start lighting this incense?"
She had never seen Gu Luo light any incense when she came to Gu Mansion before.
Gu Shuya's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a chill flashed through her eyes, "The queen sent it seven days ago."
"I asked Dr. Zhang about it. He said that incense can help grandpa sleep peacefully and is good for the body."
When Su Ruotang heard this, his eyebrows darkened.
The herbs in the incense are simply unworthy of someone who is not a master of poison.
But I have never heard of anyone with superb poison skills around the Queen.
Seven days ago, was it Su Muyao?
Thinking of this possibility, the color in Su Ruotang's eyes instantly turned cold.
She looked solemn and said: "Old General Gu, shall I take your pulse first?"
Gu Luo nodded and stretched out his hand.
Su Ruotang's green and white fingertips fell on his thin and yellow wrist, forming a sharp contrast.
After a moment, Su Ruotang retracted his hand and took out the silver needle, "Old General Gu, please unbutton your shirt. I'll use the needle first to force out some of the remaining poison in your body."
Gu Luo nodded and unbuttoned his shirt.
The thin chest was covered with scars.
At first glance, it is extremely terrifying.
But Su Ruotang only had admiration in his eyes.
She took out the silver needle and quickly inserted it into the large hole on Gu Luo's chest.
When the lower part of the silver needle turned dark, he slowly pulled out the needle.
"Seven days later, I will come back and give General Gu another injection. I will take the medicine according to the prescription in the past few days. I still keep the incense sent by the Queen." After receiving the silver needle, Su Ruotang warned: "While taking the medicine, you cannot drink alcohol."
Gu Shuya nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I will keep an eye on grandpa."
Tan Zhixi frowned and said with some worry: "General Gu's birthday banquet will be in three days, and there will be many people coming to toast..."
Gu Shuya snorted coldly, "Those people are here just for the tiger talisman in my hand, and few of them are sincere."
"It's okay if you don't drink this glass of wine."
Gu Luo touched Gu Shuya's long hair distressedly, with a murderous chill all over his body, "Those people are waiting for me to die and embezzle the Zhenguo Palace."
"I won't let them get their wish if they have partial births!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Ruotang, "The third prince's concubine is loyal to the Duke of Zhenguo, but if you can protect Shuya throughout her life, I will stand by the third prince's side."
Su Ruotang pursed her lips and said meaningfully: "Miss Gu is my cousin's friend, so she is naturally my friend. As a friend, I will help her."
Gu Luo didn't know the deal Gu Shuya made with her.
In addition to the shogi camp being completely in the hands of Gu Shuya, Gu Luo's status in the minds of the generals is also important.
Mo Ronyan is the God of War of Dongqi, and Gu Luo is not inferior.
These generals admired these two men very much.
It is this force that has been fighting against those old stubborns that has prevented Mo Xiaoya from being established as the prince.
After leaving the Gu Mansion, Su Ruotang looked at Gu Shuya and whispered: "Miss Gu, I want to trouble you with something."
