His Royal Highness: The Little Charming Concubine in the Maokeng

Chapter 95

Lonely Pheasant stepped forward and grabbed Ziwu, "Meow! Meow! Meow!" Ziwu waved its little paw, but it didn't even touch the clothes of Lonely Pheasant.

"Who's at the door? Please put down my cat."

From the half-closed wooden door came a pleasant sound like jade knocking, Gu Xiaozhi put down Zi Wu, and gently pushed the door open.

What came into my eyes was a man with creamy skin lying on the bed, looking at her with blurred eyes. His complexion was very pale, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as ashes. Perhaps it was because Gu Xiaozhi saw the picture of Gu Shaoshu. With a fake white face, he actually felt that there was a cool breeze blowing in the room.

"Miss Ninth, so it's you...cough cough..."

"You know me?" In Gu Xiaozhi's memory, he has never found such a sick and beautiful man.

"Of course." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the lonely pheasant with gentle eyes.

The lonely pheasant suddenly felt a little panicked, such tender eyes, coupled with such a pale face, was like the last smile of a person before death.

"Young Master, it's time to take your medicine." The servant girl came in with a bowl of brown medicine, only to find that Gu Xiaozhi was also hastily saying, "Miss Jiu is well!"

The maid put the medicine on Gu Shaoshu's bedside and left.

"You are Gu Shaoshu?" She remembered that Dong Yun had told her that Gu Yuan had only one son, and that was Gu Shaoshu.

He nodded slightly, carefully picked up the bowl of bitter medicine, and drank it in one gulp.

"Bitter?"

"It's not bitter." He has been drinking all kinds of medicine since he was a child, and he can't tell the difference between bitterness and sweetness.

"Liar! I smell bitter."

The room fell into silence, and Gu Xiaozhi didn't know what to say.

Gu Shaoshu is considered to be Gu Xiaozhi's elder brother, and he is already 24 this year.

She wondered why Gu Shaoshu's health was so poor?

"What... what disease are you suffering from?"

"I got a disease that can't be cured in a lifetime."

"You can't be so absolute. What if a miracle doctor appeared in front of you that day and cured your illness?"

Gu Shaoshu smiled and shook his head, "I hope so."

But his heart has no hope, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Every time in the past, I heard my mother say: Be good, take the medicine and get sick.

Every time he was very serious, thinking that he would be cured after taking the medicine, and he would be able to go out and play like everyone else, but... when he got older, he realized that it didn't work at all.

What makes Gu Xiaozhi very puzzled is, since Gu Shaoshu is sick, why doesn't Gu Yuan seek a famous doctor to treat him?Instead, he was placed in such a secluded place where no one cared.

"Miss Jiu, what are you doing here?"

Lonely Pheasant shook his head, "It's okay, I'm going first."

Gu Xiaozhi came out of Gu Shaoshu's room and happened to see the maid who was eavesdropping, so Gu Xiaozhi grabbed the maid's clothes, "What are you doing?"

"Ninth...Miss Nine's maidservant...The maidservant is only here to collect the medicine bowl." The maidservant was so frightened that her whole body was trembling.

"Have you received the medicine bowl at the door?"

Does this girl think she is stupid?

"Slave... Slave... I know I'm wrong!"

Gu Xiaozhi looked at her expressionlessly, "It's good to know that I was wrong, I don't want to hear about my visit to the young master's room from others."

The maid nodded sharply, her eyes full of fear.

Lonely Pheasant patted her on the shoulder, "It's all right, go and collect your medicine bowl."

Then the lonely pheasant hummed a little tune and left.

Gu Shaoshu lay on the bed and smiled slightly. Although he hadn't been out of the prime minister's residence all day long, he still knew something about Gu Xiaozhi.
