"It is very possible that His Majesty already knew you were in the capital." Gu Yun looked at Old Man Ji, "Second Prince has a disease, His Majesty will definitely think of a way to recruit you into the palace."
Old Man Ji squatted in the field, expressionless. However, his hand that was fiddling with the herbs paused, "It's such a pity, although this disease is not fatal, but it definitely cannot be inherited. It's useless trying to find me, I can't cure it."
Gu Yun's eyes froze, even Old Man Ji could not cure him? His guess was indeed correct, Old Man Ji knew the inside information, and even King Jin knew the inside information. Even though King Jin did not ask about the exit because of his face, but in his heart, he definitely wanted to know more than anyone else. At that time, when the previous Emperor died, it was the Old Man Ji that saved him. So in these past few decades, the person the Emperor wanted to find the most was his Old Man Ji, but unfortunately, the previous Emperor was unable to find him until his death.
It was very clear that if the Second Prince had inherited the disease, it must have come from the His Majesty. His Majesty's health was not good, and he must be troubled by the disease, so no one wanted to find the Old Man Ji more than him.
But why was Gu Qing looking for Old Man Ji? It was really hard to understand.
Gu Yun had originally wanted to trick him into speaking some truth, but he didn't expect this old man to be unwilling to speak. It's just that he thought that if he could say something, then he wouldn't hide it from you.
"Since you know what I'm doing, I won't say anything more. I can stop anyone from looking for you, but I can't do anything about His Majesty's words. Unless you leave right now, no one can do anything about you."
The Old Man Ji shamelessly snorted, "Why should I leave? It's like a thief, now that my Great Grandson's Wife has a great great-grandson, no matter how unruly I am, I shouldn't be rootless duckweed right? If I get old, then I won't want to stay floating around, and if I die without anyone to bury me, wouldn't I be wronged?
It was rare for a Old Man Ji to have a proper and proper time, and it was hard to bear looking at a proper time. Gu Yun looked at the old man whose back was slightly bent, and thought to himself, this old man is really old.
"What are you talking about?" Xie Jingxi walked over, seeing that the two of them were silent, she couldn't help but be surprised, it was really rare to see two people chatting so calmly like this, but Xie Jingxi's expression was covered by his smile, which pulled her over to sit down.
"Where's Grandmother? Didn't she go with you?"
"Grandmother said that Mama Chen was too busy to cook with us." Xie Jingxi turned and said to the Old Man Ji: "Grandfather, can you take a look at Xuanchen? A few days ago, he was heavily injured and had an old illness, but at that time, it was inconvenient for him to look for you, and coincidentally, I came today, so I have to trouble you to take a look."
The hand that Gu Yun had wrapped around her body lightly tapped on it, his expression could not be seen, as though he did not care about his own body at all, while Old Man Ji looked at the two of them hesitantly, but in the end, he did not say anything. He went to the water's edge to wash his hands, and showed Gu Yun his pulse.
was about to get up and make way for her, but Gu Yun stopped her, not letting her move. Old Man Ji glanced at him unhappily, and saw that his old finger was resting on his white wrist, the moment he reached down, he couldn't help but shiver. His trembling, which was barely discernible, was caught by Gu Yun, but the corners of his mouth continued to curl into a smile, as if everything was within his expectations.
Deep grief and vicissitudes of hatred filled the depths of Old Man Ji's eyes. He didn't even dare to look at Gu Yun's expression at that moment, as if his heart must have been stung by something. This child was even harder and more tenacious than his mother, and also suffered more than his mother.
"Grandfather, are you alright?"
Xie Jingxi had her back facing the two of them, so she did not notice the expression that flashed past their eyes just now, and when she saw that the two of them did not speak, he became uneasy.
The Old Man Ji snorted and left, "It's fine, I won't die yet."
Gu Yun smiled as he embraced Xie Jingxi, his chin resting on her shoulders. His slightly cold face pressed against her tender and warm cheeks, instantly absorbing all the strength and warmth, "Just say it's fine, don't worry. It's been so many years since you came here, and you've encountered even more dangerous situations.
Xie Jingxi frowned, she instinctively did not want to hear him say such words, it was just that recently she had a body, which distracted her greatly, and had forgotten about some matters before she could even think about it. For example, a thought that flashed through her mind just now, but could not remember it, but she did not force him, so when Pei Zixi told her to focus less, she tried her best to restrain herself, and she did not ask Gu Yun.
Honestly, every time I come, I don't want to leave. I just had a few words with Grandmother, Grandfather, and the rest, and then I have to return home.
, who was always following behind Xie Jingxi, perked up her ears, but his stepfather Master Gu decisively rejected, "No way, a single Xie Bakuai is enough to cause trouble, and the two things combined can't let me sleep. If it wasn't for you having a body now, I would still be following you, but I can't leave recently, and I don't trust you to stay here by yourself, so I would have to inconvenience you by staying at Marquis Mansion with me."
Gu Sansi fell to the ground in complete despair.
Xie Jingxi laughed, "Look at it, I don't know how to hate you. Forget it, I won't trust you when you're alone in Marquis Mansion, I'll also be more at ease if I'm with you."
"Why didn't I reassure you?" Gu Yun seemed to be able to hear the ridicule in her voice, "Are you afraid that I'll find another woman?"
Besides, who dares to touch your Master Gu's brows, but since you said that, I feel that it is indeed a matter. You are in the limelight now, there must be someone willing to give you a woman, right?
It was not that they did not believe him, Gu Yun was someone that was trustworthy, but as a woman, once she had a body, she would think of these problems, and sometimes the couple would just tease her a little, treating it as a form of entertainment.
When he asked this question, Master Gu felt at ease in his heart. "Un, then you really must take care of it a bit more, two days ago, someone even sent me a gift, letting me give it to Master Lu, but you also know, sometimes it's just a matter of face, if they give it to you as an object, you can't treat it as if it's an object too heavy for them, it's like there's no difference between people, even if you throw it away or not, it's not like that's the case."
"Do you really intend to accept it?" Xie Jingxi glanced at him, "Then you take one and bring it back for me to see, I'll also give you a slap in the face. In the end, it's not a thing, even if you throw it away you can't be bothered with it, staying behind even if you are a girl, and you don't have to worry about us buying it outside."
Gu Yun pinched her cheek, and said while gnashing his teeth, "You sure have a big heart, what are you being a girl for, talking so much about me?"
Xie Jingxi snorted, "Look, when my stomach gets bigger, there will be many women coming at you, I want to see where you will throw them all at."
"So what if you're jealous? You must be mad at me, right?" Gu Yun pecked her on the corner of his mouth, "Is it because of Fang Yu?"
Xie Jingxi threw her head to the side and looked at him, "I'm not jealous, I won't stop you from liking whoever you like, it's none of my business who you like. You just don't have to stand in my way as long as you don't get in my way." At worst, she would move in with her grandmother with her child.
How did he feel that ever since his wife had a body, she had learned to be unreasonable? If you were to say that she was worried, then you would have to say that he was not. There were countless wolves eyeing his wife's precious bun.
If you don't like her, I will send her away immediately. Don't remember that you're making it hard for yourself, it's not worth it. Even if I want to look for someone better than Xi, do you think your husband is someone who can do as he pleases?
"It's not that you don't want to find them, it's just that you haven't found a better one, right?"
Oh no, his wife wasn't like that before, it was said that when a woman had a body, her personality would change greatly, and she wouldn't stay so scary. Gu Yun did not dare to continue, and felt that if he were to say something else, it would be a bad habit, thus he hugged her tightly, "Is there anything better, I have met Xi before in my life, other than you, nothing can enter my eyes, what kind of Fang Yu is, Fang Shi, it's all the same to me, in any case you, even if you want to chase me away, I have no way of doing so."
Although the Master Gu would normally disdain to say these, but his wife likes to hear it. Xie Jingxi giggled, "These words are not like what you said, I am just teasing you, I am worried about you, afraid that you will not notice your body, of course I do care about women, but since Fang Yu is here, I do not mind staying, but I do not think that she will help me out a lot, if it is anyone else, it would be the same."
"I heard it, Xi still cares about me, mm, I am very happy." Gu Yun was extremely satisfied now, because just the word of his wife would be able to make him happy for a long time.
Xie Jingxi was more sensitive now, and she could hear loss and worry about gains and losses in Gu Yun's words. She could tell that he would more and more display his weak side in front of her, and even though it was all inadvertently, it also proved that all of it was real. Xie Jingxi could not help but feel her heart ache, at exactly a place where she could not see.
