Chapter 161 Regret
"Okay! Don't cry!" He took her into his arms, let her lean on his chest, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, I'm not sad."

He wasn't sad, but his throat was also a little blocked, and his voice was not the same as usual.

Gu Chongyang cried even harder, her Jiulang was suffering so much.

Time passed quietly, and the crying little girl finally realized what stupid thing she had done.

She actually cried, and threw herself into Jiulang's arms and hugged his waist.His hard and powerful chest, the body temperature that can be felt through the clothes, and the pleasant smell of sweet-scented osmanthus made her blush and her head was buzzing, making her wonder if she was dreaming again.

His face was cool and a little uncomfortable, Gu Chongyang let go of his hand and took a step back quietly.

He secretly raised his head, glanced at Wang Jiulang, saw that his expression was normal, and he was not bored, he was slightly relieved.

"Since King Rong is going to rebel, he has already acted now. He actually planned something when we were in Nanjing last year."

Wang Jiulang tapped on the table with his slender fingers, as if he didn't notice her embarrassment, with a serious look on his face: "Tell me about the changes in the capital next time?"

"If my memory is not wrong, Mei promised, who was drafted into the palace in March this year, should be crowned the sixth palace now. The emperor likes her very much, because the Dragon Boat Festival is her birthday, and the emperor named her Concubine Mei on that day."

Gu Chongyang carefully recalled the news he had heard in his previous life, and slowly said: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor will hold a riding and archery competition in the Xishan Bieyuan, and select outstanding sons and daughters of the princes to hunt and accompany them. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor finally made up his mind and set up a The eldest son of the emperor who is usually not favored is the crown prince. After the succession ceremony, the emperor went to Yaoshan to hunt, accompanied by the children of the Gongqing family, and the second prince who was always loved by the emperor, and the prince stayed in Beijing to supervise the country. "

"On the way back, I encountered an assassin in ambush. The emperor was frightened, and the newly promoted Concubine Mei was lost. After returning to Beijing, the emperor became ill. The second prince served him closely and tasted the medicine himself. He was very filial."

It's all because she didn't care about these things in her previous life, and since it's been a long time, she can't remember anything.

Gu Chongyang tried hard to remember, his brows were involuntarily frowned, because he was too picky, his face was a little pale.

"Okay." Wang Jiulang interrupted her: "We've talked enough today. You see, it's already noon. You go back to eat and have a good rest. We'll talk about the rest in a few days. There is also the matter of treating me, you should also think about what kind of disease I am and what method should be used to treat it."

In other words, Jiulang won't have lunch with her at noon.Gu Chongyang glanced at Jiulang, and said disgruntledly: "Okay, I'll go back first, and come to Jiulang after I figure out how to treat him."

The disappointment in the little girl's eyes was so obvious that Wang Jiulang's heart trembled, but he didn't say anything about having dinner with her.

It's just that his gaze sent her out all the time, the tenderness in his eyes was so obvious, he didn't look away until Ruifeng came in.

"Jiuye." Ruifeng looked at his idiot-like eyes, feeling a little distressed: "Miss Gu is 14 years old, and it is time to say goodbye. The second old lady always hopes that you will get married as soon as possible. Miss Gu has superb medical skills. If it can't be cured, it means that she is [-]% sure that the disease is cured, you..."

Basically nothing about Wang Jiulang was hidden from Ruifeng. He liked Gu Chongyang, so Ruifeng was the first to point it out.Even so, Wang Jiulang still felt a little hot on his cheeks. Even though he was 22 years old, it was the first time he had someone he liked, and it was inevitable that he couldn't let go.

"My illness has not been cured yet, so let's wait." Although the little girl is indeed highly skilled in medicine, and although her acupuncture and massage are indeed effective, he is still afraid that his illness will repeat like before.Before he was sure, he couldn't harm Gu Chongyang.

Wang Jiulang shook his head lightly, dispelling her star-like eyes in his mind, and said seriously: "Go and find out about King Rong, and which concubine is the most favored in the palace now."

Ruifeng couldn't help being surprised.

Master Jiu, what happened?Didn't he never care about these things?
But it was just a moment of astonishment in his heart, he quickly put away his surprise, and said in a deep voice: "Yes."

After Ruifeng left, Wang Jiulang fell into deep thought again.

Recently, the little girl has been with him all the time, and he knows her every move.Based on the people she has come into contact with, she may be able to hear a few words that the emperor dotes on that concubine, but it is absolutely impossible for her to find out the exact birthday of the concubine and when she will give her a title.

If all of this is true, it means that after one or two years, the Wang family will be destroyed.

King Rong...

Wang Jiulang recalled that when the first emperor was still alive, he had rejected the olive branch he offered him. Perhaps, at that time, he hated going to the Wang family.

His face suddenly became resolute and indifferent, no matter who he is, whether it was the former prince or the current King Rong, if he really dares to attack the Wang family, he, Wang Jiulang, will let him know what it means to regret.

"I really regret it..."

In an unremarkable house in the capital, Hao Shaoyang gave a wry smile and looked enviously at the couple in front of him.

The man is Hao Shaoyang's best friend Yao Junyan, the woman's surname is Guo, she is Yao Junyan's childhood sweetheart fiancee, and she has known Hao Shaoyang since childhood.

Guo's father was originally a clerk at the Lianghuai Salt Transport Office, but was implicated in the corruption case of the second prince at the time of the first emperor, who is now King Rong, and the whole family was exiled.Naturally, her marriage with Yao Junyan was over.

But Yao Junyan has a deep affection for Guo Shi. On the one hand, he took Guo Shi back to Beijing to settle down properly, and on the other hand, he listened to his grandmother's advice to marry a wife on a blind date.

His wife was chosen by himself, she is the daughter of Commander Ma Silu of the Wucheng Army, and she is in the same family as the Yao family.Yao Junyan and Miss Lu fell in love at first sight, and soon they got married.

After getting married, he and his wife respected each other as guests, raised their eyebrows, never blushed, and were envied by others.

But that's just an appearance.

His wife has a hidden disease and cannot be touched by a man. Whenever a man touches her, she will feel nauseated, vomit and tremble all over.

Before they got married, they made an agreement that they would only be a fake couple and not interfere with each other in private.He gave her marriage and the decency of a regular wife, and she gave him freedom and helped him deal with his grandmother.After waiting for a year or two, she was infertile for a long time, and the grandmother must be anxious, and he took the opportunity to bring Guo's mother and son home. For the sake of the child, the grandmother had to give in.

Hao Shaoyang saw everything he did.

In the past, he always felt that Yao Junyan was playful and unreliable, but seeing what he did to Guo Shi, he had to admire and envy him.

Seeing the envy in his eyes, Yao Junyan laughed and patted the head of the child in Guo's arms: "Shaoyang, it's not like you don't have a baby. Is it necessary to stare at my baby with such greedy eyes?"

The two first-time parents love their children very much, and they are almost unwilling to let go for a moment.

If he hadn't separated from his cousin Chongyang, he must have been married, and maybe he would be as happy as Yao Junyan.

Hao Shaoyang smiled wryly and said: "I'm regretting that you have a boy, but if you give birth to a daughter, our two families can be in-laws."

Yao Junyan waved his hand, and said proudly: "What's the matter, I will give birth to ten or eight children with your siblings, and you will work hard to have more. There will always be suitable ones. As long as you and I have the heart, we don't have to worry about not being able to do it." relatives by marriage."

Guo's face turned red, and he spat: "I haven't been doing anything right all day." He took the child and left.

Yao Junyan smiled again, his face full of satisfaction.

After a while, Mrs. Guo asked someone to prepare meals and served them, and the two brothers chatted while eating.

After a few glasses of wine, Hao Shaoyang talked more.

"I really envy you. Junyan, if I had been as uncompromising as you were back then, Cousin Chongyang would not have left me."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Yao Junyan put down his chopsticks and said, "What is your plan?"

For no reason, he would never say such a thing.And a good friend's obsession with Gu Chongyang is no less than that of his cousin Guo. Yao Junyan can understand Hao Shaoyang very well.

"I promised Chongyang that there would be no one else between me and her. I broke my promise. I regretted and blamed myself, but I also blamed her a bit. If she hadn't been so heartless at the time, but cried and begged me, even if she showed Even with the slightest bit of reluctance, I will never give up on her."

"But she didn't. She was calm from the beginning to the end. She only considered from her own point of view. She didn't have any reluctance for me. She just let me choose. You know how painful I was and how much I hated. Hate doing it myself I made a mistake, and I hate her for being ruthless, and if she says she doesn’t want me, she doesn’t want me.”

"Since she doesn't want me anymore, I will let her go." Hao Shaoyang said tragically: "At that time, I still admired myself for being resolute, decisive in doing things, and fulfilling my promise to Master. But you know, I admired myself so much at the time, and now How much I hate myself at that time. I can't forget her, and there is not a day that I don't live in pain, miss and regret."

Yao Junyan looked thoughtful: "Then what are you going to do? Continue to be with her? Treat Miss Gu like I did to Cousin Guo?"

"Chongyang Cousin would rather bend than bend, she is not even willing to give Senior Sister the status of a concubine, how could she stoop to be a concubine?"

He has always understood her, but he gave her a fatal blow, gave her hope, and let her down again, what a bastard he is!

Hao Shaoyang raised his head, the confusion in his eyes dissipated, and he had obviously made up his mind: "I was sorry for her in the past. I decided to use the rest of my life to make up for her. If she wants a couple for the rest of her life, I will give it to her; I will not take concubines and have no one else, I promise. As long as it is what she says, I will do it, and I only hope that she can come back to me."

Yao Junyan was stunned: "What about sister-in-law?"

The sister-in-law he was talking about was Zhao Menglan.

Hao Shaoyang's voice was very firm: "I will arrange for my senior sister to feign her death. I have already thought about the time. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the way to Yaoshan, my senior sister will be seriously ill and die. At that time, I will transport an empty coffin back to bury her." Going into the Hao family's ancestral grave to hide people's eyes and ears. Although Chongyang has been wronged by the identity of the stepmother, I believe she won't mind."

"What about Brother Ze?"

"Let the senior sister make the decision. If she wants to take Brother Ze away, I won't stop it. If she doesn't want to, I will raise Brother Ze well. Cousin Chongyang is kind-hearted and will definitely treat Brother Ze well. "

"It seems that you have made up your mind." Yao Junyan touched the wine cup to Hao Shaoyang: "It's just that you also said before that the man in Wen Guogong's mansion is not ordinary to Miss Gu."

"You are skilled in martial arts, and you are the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army. You look handsome, and you are good at painting Danqing. You are indeed a leader in my generation. But Wang Jiulang is not an ordinary person. We were young five or six years ago, and Wang Jiulang, the son of Yushu Who doesn't know his demeanor? In the past two years, he has grown old, lived in a simple place, and rarely showed up, but once in a while, he still arouses the admiration of the crowd. His family status is higher than yours, and his appearance is even more beautiful. He is outstanding, and the most important thing is that he is close to the water now, and he has a lot of opportunities to get close to Miss Gu."

Yao Junyan said worriedly: "You have little chance of winning against him."

"Heh!" Hao Shaoyang sneered, with a gloomy face: "Wang Jiulang is indeed good-looking, but Cousin Chongyang doesn't judge people by appearance. Even if I am not as good as him, I am not so bad that I can't be seen. Wang Jiulang is proud and indifferent, I will never bow down to please the little girl. My cousin Chongyang and I are childhood sweethearts, and we know her likes like the back of the palm of my hand. It's not that she doesn't love me, she just hates me for marrying a senior sister. As long as I tell her the plan, I will coax her well and want her to marry me. It’s not hard to change your mind.”

"Cousin Chongyang is the simplest person, what you want is a sincere heart. Wang Jiulang has been aloof for so many years, he is used to being aloof, and he will never give his sincerity to Cousin Chongyang. Since I got Cousin Chongyang to be engaged to me before, I She is sure that she will be engaged to me again, and not only be engaged, but also marry me."

But what if Wang Jiulang is really moved?

Yao Junyan wanted to ask, but seeing his friend's winning face, he swallowed the words again.Maybe what he said is right, as long as Miss Gu's heart is for Shaoyang, nothing else matters.

"In that case, then I wish you success!" Yao Junyan raised the wine pot and filled it up for Hao Shaoyang.

That night, the two got drunk.

Zhao Menglan sat empty most of the night, staring blankly at the candles on the candlestick.

She is not used to maids being close, the maids are all outside, and she is the only one sitting alone with the shadow in the room.

The son is already eight months old, and Shaoyang's cousin still doesn't want to rest in her room.Where he went tonight, she didn't even know.Her young mistress is nothing but an empty shell.

Maybe it was because she stared at the candlestick for too long, Zhao Menglan felt her eyes were a little sore.

"Young mistress, the young master is back."

Zhao Menglan was startled by the servant girl's voice outside, she quickly stood up and greeted her, Hao Shaoyang was drunk and was supported by a servant.

Zhao Menglan was very heartbroken, and couldn't help reprimanding: "You are dead people, so I don't know how to persuade you. You let the young master get so drunk all day long. If something happens to the young master, let's see if I will expose your skin."

Ever since he married Zhao Menglan, Hao Shaoyang sent back the guards arranged by the Queen Mother on the grounds that he had grown up.

The servant tremblingly said, "It was a treat for Uncle Ning's son, and the young master drank a few more glasses when he was happy. We couldn't persuade him."

Zhao Menglan couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard that, the young master was happy...

In the past, the servants would say that the young master would not listen to persuasion if he was unhappy, and would not let him follow if he was unhappy.

It was the first time that the word "happy" came out of the mouth of the servant.

As long as Junior Brother Shaoyang is happy, she will be happy.

The expression on Zhao Menglan's face softened a little: "What happy things happened, let's listen too."

The faces of the two servants changed drastically, and they looked at her awkwardly, as if they were annoyed and knew they had made a slip of the tongue.

Zhao Menglan felt impetuous for a while: "Forget it, since the young master won't let me speak, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Thank you, Young Mistress." The boy helped Hao Shaoyang and left as if he had been pardoned.

Zhao Menglan reached out to help Hao Shaoyang: "The young master is very drunk, let him stay tonight."

The two servants hurriedly took a step back as if facing a formidable enemy.The last time the young master rested in the young grandma's room, the young master rewarded each of them with thirty lashes. The scars hurt just thinking about them. They didn't dare to take the whip again at the risk of their lives.

Zhao Menglan's outstretched hand was in vain, and the servant's defensive eyes made her heartbroken even more. She should have acted like a young mistress and yelled at Hao Shaoyang to force Hao Shaoyang to stay, but that would only be a joke.What would the servant girl think of her? Did she miss men crazy?

She took the initiative to step aside and asked the servant to help Hao Shaoyang over, but she followed them to the study.

Seeing Zhao Menglan come over to wipe Hao Shaoyang with a handkerchief in her hand, the servant was a little surprised, Zhao Menglan said with a cold face: "I am the young lady who is being married by the Hao family matchmaker."

Taking care of her husband is even more natural. Whenever she does such a thing, she has to get the consent of the servant.Zhao Menglan felt uncomfortable, but her eyes became sharper.

Forced by her gaze, the boy finally bowed his head and retreated.

Hao Shaoyang was very drunk, his face turned red, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhao Menglan wiped his body and cleaned up his vomit without a trace of disgust.She doesn't like Hao Shaoyang drinking, but she is greedy for him when he is drunk. Only at this time, he will not refuse her closeness.

Zhao Menglan lay beside Hao Shaoyang in her clothes, and kissed his face, tears could not stop falling down.

It was her choice, and she doesn't regret it at all.As long as she can be with Junior Brother Shaoyang, she doesn't mind no matter how many grievances she has suffered.She was content to be near her even for a moment.

Zhao Menglan greedily touched Hao Shaoyang's face, but someone grabbed her finger suddenly. She was startled, thinking that Hao Shaoyang had woken up, and instinctively remembered, but was hugged by Hao Shaoyang and hugged her.

Zhao Menglan was surprised and happy, her heart was sour and sweet, she couldn't tell what it was like.Although the two were married, even though she had given birth to a child for him, there was only that one time between them.

Thinking of the enthusiasm and recklessness of her junior brother that time, Zhao Menglan blushed, she blinked, put her hand into Hao Shaoyang's clothes, looked at his handsome face and attractive lips, her heart beat like a drum, and she drummed her feet. Courage closed his eyes, ready to kiss.

"Cousin Chongyang...Chongyang..."

Hao Shaoyang murmured unconsciously like Jiao Lei, and Zhao Menglan was stunned into a wooden stake on the spot.

He was still hugging her and holding her hand, but she couldn't feel any sweetness anymore, her heart was bleeding with pain, she felt like someone had slapped her in the face, and she felt endless humiliation .

She glanced at him desperately, and got up from his arms, but he held on tightly, and his voice was still begging when he was drunk and asleep: "Don't leave, I have already thought of a way, I will marry you, No one else... you forgive me..."

All the blood on Zhao Menglan's face faded, and she looked at the sleeping person in disbelief with extremely complicated eyes.

"Okay." Zhao Menglan's voice was trembling badly, she withdrew her hand forcefully, and planted a light kiss on Hao Shaoyang's forehead: "I will never leave you, Junior Brother Shaoyang."

She bit her lip and returned to her room with tears streaming down her face.

"Go, fetch water."

The servant girl looked at her in surprise: "Young Mistress, haven't you already bathed?"

Zhao Menglan's voice was cold, and she said unhappily: "I served the young master just now, and now I'm sweating a little bit again."

The maid didn't dare to disobey, so she went.

She retreated, sat down in the tub with her clothes on, walked out wet all over, opened the window, and let the coolness penetrate her wet clothes and invade her body.

Zhao Menglan looked out the window and murmured to herself: "You don't need me as a wife, but Brother Ze needs me as a mother. Brother Shaoyang, you are my husband, no one can take you away."

The wind blew under the veranda, and the lantern shook a few times. She felt cold and couldn't help shivering, but she gritted her teeth and didn't move.

Gu Chongyang on the boat didn't sleep either. She had just given Wang Jiulang acupuncture and moxibustion. After wiping the sweat off her face, she began to massage his acupuncture points.

At first, Wang Jiulang fell into the river in winter, stimulated by the cold water, and the sun suffered from the cold.But at that time, the wrong method of expelling the cold was adopted. Although the body surface warmed up, the cold air could not be dissipated in time.And because of the depression and anger of losing his father, the cold air is stagnated in the meridians instead, and over time, it forms cold poison.Now the cold poison is transmitted internally, almost spreading all over the body.

Some acupuncture points require acupuncture, while others require massage.

"Kuro, how are you feeling?"

Gu Chongyang sat on the chair and massaged his arms.

Seeing the beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, her little face flushed red, and her slightly panting speech, Wang Jiulang couldn't help wiping her sweat with a handkerchief.

"I feel fine. Can I just add acupuncture and massage in the future?"

You can teach Ruifeng the method and let him do it for you, so that the little girl won't be so tired.

"Of course it's not that simple." Gu Chongyang was worried that she didn't know how to tell Wang Jiulang about his illness. Hearing him take the initiative to ask, she said: "If it's just a headache, then acupuncture and moxibustion can actually solve the problem. But Jiulang you Now when I get sick, my whole body hurts, so acupuncture cannot cure it.”

Wang Jiulang's eyes could not help but flicker. When he got sick, it was true that he had not only a headache, but his whole body ached, but because the headache was too severe, he couldn't take into account the pain in other places.

Her medical skills are really superb, she must have been passed down from god to man in a dream, and she has obtained the art of miracle medicine.If not, how could she know so much about his condition, how could she solve a disease that even Taoist Qinglongzi couldn't do anything about?

She was arranged for him by the heavens to relieve his pain.

The little girl said again in a panting voice: "Jiulang has taken too many medicines to relieve pain these years, many of which are medicines of tigers and wolves, and they are poisonous. Some poisons are too overbearing. Damaged. Cold poison plus drug poison, this disease is very difficult. Therefore, not only acupuncture but also massage, as well as internal medicine, external medicine, and some acupuncture points need to use moxibustion to force out the cold poison. Because sailing Inconvenient, these are all saved, and we will treat them systematically when we return to the capital."

Wang Jiulang frowned slightly: "You just said that my illness will hinder my heirs?"

She mentioned it just now, just because she was afraid that he would be embarrassed, but she didn't expect him to take the initiative to ask. Gu Chongyang's subordinates kept saying, "Don't worry, Jiulang, as long as you follow my method of treatment, you will be kept healthy and your children and grandchildren will be full."

If he is really healthy, he will definitely keep her by his side.

Wang Jiulang's heart softened and he didn't speak any more.
