Chapter 158 Guarding the Border
Su Ruoli, who was on horseback, quickly adapted to the enthusiasm of the people.Although these common people admired her very much, they did not worship her blindly. She believed that after a while, she would probably be forgotten about her.Even if someone mentions it, they just think that she has excellent medical skills.

Su Ruoli, who was in a relaxed mood, chatted with Gu Zhang casually.Gu Zhang said that he had already found a matchmaker and elders, and he also saw the auspicious day of the zodiac, so that he would ask someone to come to propose marriage tomorrow.

Su Ruoli blushed and smiled, this man is quite careful.

Although this marriage event was ordered by the parents and the matchmaker's words, but Luo Shi didn't like her, and would never let Gu Zhang make this trip.Gu Zhang was thoughtful, and invited someone of high moral standing to detain Luo Shi at home, so that she would not come out to cause trouble and make himself unhappy.

Gu Zhang is really an excellent man.

Thinking about it, even if she and Gu Zhang settled down tomorrow, she would feel more at ease.

The two chatted for a while longer, and then they arrived at the place.

Gu Zhang accompanied Su Ruoli all the way and sent Su Ruoli to Sanyuantang.Seeing that her knot had been untied, she was finally relieved.

Su Ruoli devoted himself to the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and soon he didn't care whether he was watched or commented on.

It wasn't until almost noon that she finished looking at the sick numbers accumulated in the past few days.

Just as he was about to discuss with Gu Zhang about finding a better restaurant to have a big meal, suddenly a few horses came rushing outside and reined in the horses with a long hiss outside the gate of Sanyuan Hall.

Su Ruoli recognized the person on the horse, it was Huang Ying, the chief eunuch who was beside the emperor.

He personally brought people here, maybe it's not a trivial matter, right?
Su Ruoli only felt her heart pounding, and secretly prayed that the emperor would not let her enter the palace.

After all, although she and Gu Zhang have tacitly agreed, they have not returned to the right path. If the emperor really forced her into the palace, she might have no reason to refute him!
Nervously staring at Huang Ying who got off the horse at the door, Su Ruoli's big water eyes were full of rejection.

If the emperor really doesn't let go, she can only gamble.

When Huang Ying saw her this time, she was not as enthusiastic as before. She had no expression on her white, fat and beardless face. She walked towards the front hall of Sanyuan Hall with tight strides.

Su Ruoli didn't come forward to greet her with a smile. Although she was a female doctor bestowed by the imperial court, in this ancient times, there was no place for her to make friends with an eunuch.

Gu Zhang and Li Zhong stepped forward to greet Huang Ying. Gu Zhang asked him, "I don't know why Eunuch Huang is here today?"

Huang Ying gave a dry laugh, squeezed her thin voice and said, "Our royal family is alive, so I won't talk to General Gu."

The lukewarmness made people confused, but he took out a bright yellow bag from his sleeve with a swipe, opened it, and screamed at Gu Zhang and the others: "General Gu, Gu Zhang accepts the order! "

Hearing this, Li Zhong quickly winked at Su Ruoli, and several people hid in the next room, avoiding this grand occasion.

Su Ruoli was leaning against the window of the next room, looking out through a corner of the curtain, her hands were tightly clenched, and her palms were covered with cold sweat.

The imperial decree was specially given to Gu Zhang, so he should go to the general's mansion to proclaim the decree?Why did you come to Sanyuantang?

So, the emperor knew that Gu Zhang was with her?In other words, the emperor has already learned of Gu Zhang's letter of proposing to her?
In fact, what Gu Zhang said to Mrs. Li in Chengguo's mansion that day probably reached the emperor's ears long ago, after all, there were many wives and young ladies from honorable families there that day.

Perhaps, the emperor has learned that Gu Zhang has already found a matchmaker, so it's better to act first before he proposes marriage?
With a sneer in his heart, Su Ruoli couldn't help but hate secretly.

The majestic king of a country can't force someone into the palace just because he sees someone nice, right?
Although she is a little girl without a strong family background behind her, she doesn't want to be led by the nose.

The emperor may be the ideal husband in the hearts of girls all over the world, but it will never be hers.

If she doesn't want to, no one can force her!
From the corner of the curtain, Su Ruoli saw that Gu Zhang pulled up the corner of his robe and knelt down towards Huang Ying. Huang Ying's mouth squirmed, and she finished reading a few short sentences.

Gu Zhang stretched out his hands to receive the imperial edict, his expression calm and unwavering.

Huang Ying didn't stay to exchange greetings with Gu Zhang, she still nodded at Gu Zhang with a stern face, then took the two little eunuchs outside, got on the horse, and left without a trace.

Su Ruoli walked out of the house with a dignified expression and came to Gu Zhang's side, but he didn't rush to ask Gu Zhang what the edict said.

If it was a good thing to get promoted and get rich, how could Huang Ying not smile at Gu Zhang?
He is the chief eunuch next to the emperor, and he is the most slick and flexible.

Just from his expression, it can be seen that the imperial edict given to Gu Zhang by the emperor is by no means a good thing.

After a long time, Gu Zhang's complexion relaxed a bit, and he smiled lightly at Su Ruoli, "The emperor gave me a promotion!"

Su Ruoli looked at him sideways and grinned, "I'm afraid this official is not Bai Sheng's?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled brightly, "You are too clever, can't you be confused for a while?"

"What's the point? We have to go through all the turbulent waves, and now we have to practice!" Su Ruoli still didn't ask him what official he was promoted to, and what the emperor asked him to do.

Anyway, the matter is there, the emperor will never let a general die for a woman, let alone fulfill them generously.

Under the compromise, he could only separate the two of them, and he did what he wanted.

After all, the emperor's eyes are too small and too carefree.

The majestic king of a country, there are so many beautiful concubines in the harem, why stare at her, a little medical girl?
Maybe her love is strange, very fresh, and completely different from the women of this era, but she already has her own heart, so can't he let her go?
No matter how different she was, if she entered the palace, under the strict rules of the palace, she might look like those concubines.

The beauty is easy to grow old, when the fresh and tender woman enters the palace, will the emperor still see her?

Gritting her teeth, Su Ruoli smiled, "Don't worry, just wait and see."

It is estimated that there must be a deadline in the imperial decree, at least Gu Zhang cannot make the marriage proposal successful.

Gu Zhang rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "It's useless to be anxious, the emperor asked me to go to the Xishan camp to rectify now, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Hehe, it's really too late.

The corners of Su Ruoli's lips curled slightly, and she lowered her eyes to think about something.I heard that the emperor's twin princes caught cold a few days ago?
Such a young child is the most difficult to raise, even if born in the royal family, it may not be able to survive.

What about twins?
She asked Gu Zhang to go back to the general's mansion to tell his family first, while she went to the laboratory to fiddle with it.

Gu Zhang went back to the General's Mansion, full of worries that made his steps heavy.

Ever since the emperor was interested in Li'er, he knew how terrible it would be for him to propose marriage to Li'er!

But no matter how scary it is, he will never let go!
Because of his mother Luo Shi, he has already lost an opportunity. If he can't grasp it this time, he and Li'er will probably miss out in this lifetime.

Although that kid Li Fu'an also liked Li'er to death, but that kid didn't have his courage, he dared to ask Li'er to marry him alone and risked his beheading.

Hehe, when he thought of how much he had paid for Li'er, he felt his heart warm up.

How wonderful it would be to have Li'er by my side in this life!
For her, no matter how much suffering he suffers, no matter how tired he is, it's worth it!
Cuiwei Residence, Luo Shi had already inquired from Gu Meiniang that Gu Zhang had returned.

The last time I came back, the mother and son broke up unhappy. She threatened to go on a hunger strike, not only did not scare her son, but also starved herself to death.

Gu Zhang did not compromise in the end, and even ordered people not to deliver food to her mother these few days, causing her to be so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she almost caught and ate the mice in the yard.

But she was not stupid, and secretly asked Gu Lanniang and Gu Meiniang to bring her some food.

In fact, Gu Zhang knew it all in secret, and he also knew that this mother was hopeless, so he simply turned a blind eye and let her go.

If Li'er comes in in the future, he will never let this mother disturb her. If it's really not possible then, he doesn't mind buying another house for Luo Shi to live in.

When Luo Shi heard that his son was back today, the anger in his heart exploded all of a sudden, and he rushed out of Cuiwei Residence like a lioness, and ran towards Gu Zhang's study, stunned. The two women who were as thick as cows were left behind.

Gu Zhang had just put away the imperial decree, and was about to find Gu Mo to explain to him, when he heard ghosts crying and howling outside, stood up, frowned, and saw Luo Shi coming angrily towards this side from the window.

His handsome face immediately turned serious, his sexy thin lips were tightly pursed, and he watched Luo Shi barging in calmly.

There were two young men guarding the door, trying their best to prevent Luo Shi from coming in.If the master has something to say, they won't see anyone when they come. They also know what kind of temperament the master is. He looks gentle and harmless, but in fact, he is scarier than anyone else when he gets angry.

When Luo Shi saw that he couldn't even enter his son's study room, he was furious, and jumped up and scolded, "Gu Zhang, you bastard, I'm your own mother after all, and you don't even let her see you, hide here and pretend What kind of tortoise bastard? If you have the guts, you will never come out and die inside!"

Listening to her cursing her own son like this, the two servants and the two wives who followed Luo Shi turned pale with fright. How could a mother curse her own son like that?
Gu Zhang waved his hands with a cold face, and the two servants stepped back and let Luo Shi in.

As soon as they met, Luo Shi jumped up like crazy and slapped Gu Zhang's face, raised his eyes and scolded: "You bastard, dare to do this to my old lady? In front of Su Ruoli's little hoof, follow the wagging dog Same, you look like a human being in front of my mother, huh?"

Gu Zhang didn't cover his face, just stared at Luo Shi with a sneer, and it took him a long time to say something coldly, "Mother don't need to be angry, if seeing your son is an eyesore, mother can rest assured."

After saying this, he suddenly approached Luo Shi and smiled mysteriously, causing Luo Shi to scream and jump back a step.

Gu Zhang suddenly burst out laughing, almost crying, "Mother, you underestimate your son. Even if your son is nothing, he won't beat you. What are you afraid of?"

Seeing that Gu Zhang was smiling a little creepily, Luo Shi hurriedly moved towards the door, and then heard Gu Zhang say leisurely: "My son will be guarding the border tomorrow, and from now on, I'm afraid I won't be in your way at home again. .”
