Empress has purpose

Chapter 17 Accident
Gu Yunxi was woken up amidst the chaos. She lifted the bed curtain, and the room was still a little dark. She guessed that it was just after Yinshi, so she casually put on a piece of clothing. The night in early spring was still a bit chilly. Gu Yunxi picked up the teapot on the table , Want to drink saliva, but found that it was already cold.

Listening to the sound, Luwu came in, saw Gu Yunxi standing on the ground with only a single shirt on, hurriedly walked a few steps, and helped Gu Yunxi walk to the bed, muttering: "The girl doesn't care about her body anymore. "

Gu Yunxi was still a little confused at this moment, letting Luwu help her back to sit by the bed, and said, "Luwu, I want to drink water, but what happened outside?"

Luwu came over with a cloak, wrapped it around her, and then said: "I don't know yet, sister Zizhu has already gone to inquire, and she came back after thinking about it for a while. The servant girl is going to fetch water for the girl, so please don't come down again."

Gu Yunxi nodded, and Luwu went out.

At this time, Gu Yunxi had already come to her senses, thinking about what had happened. If she was making such a fuss before dawn, something serious must have happened.

Sure enough, Lvwu and Zizhu came in together soon, Lvwu poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Gu Yunxi, and then Zizhu slowly said: "Miss, something happened to the second young master."

Gu Yunxi looked up: "What happened?"

"I heard that I started spitting up milk since midnight, and I also had a rash on my face." Zizhu's face was a little serious, and he continued: "Miss, this slave thinks that this matter is aimed at you, ma'am."

Gu Yunxi smiled: "Why do you see that?"

Zizhu pondered for a moment, then said: "The slave girl just inquired about it, and said that she had alarmed the master's wife, and ordered someone to arrest the nanny who took care of the second young master. It made the second young master sick." Everyone knows that the affairs of the mansion, including the big kitchen, are under the control of the third girl.

Gu Yunxi took a sip of tea quietly before asking, "Did you believe me?"

"That's not true. Someone has already been sent to invite the doctor."

Gu Yunxi nodded, handed the teacup to Luwu, pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, we have to go and have a look and help me change my clothes."

After dressing in a hurry, it was the end of Yin time, and it was just dawn. When I walked to Aunt Sun's Fanghua residence, I saw several little maids walking in and out. When I entered the main entrance, a maid greeted me. After squatting down and saluting, he led him into the back room.

Gu Zhengyao was sitting on the first seat with a face full of anger at this time, and Meng Shi sat next to him and comforted him softly.Aunt Sun stood aside, her eyes were a little red, she thought she had just cried, and Gu Qingzhuo's nanny Du Shi was kneeling tremblingly on the ground.

Gu Zhengyao raised his eyes and saw Gu Yunxi coming in. He was a little surprised, and said in a soft voice: "Yunxi, why are you here? It's a cold time, so don't catch a cold."

Gu Yunxi's eyes turned red in an instant. In this house, only his father and elder brother cared about him most.

She restrained her emotions, and said just now: "Say hello to father and mother. My daughter heard that my brother is sick, so she wanted to come and see."

Gu Zhengyao nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face. He was very happy that this daughter cared about her family so much.

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, she turned her head and walked to Aunt Sun's side, grabbed her hand and asked, "Auntie, how is your brother?"

Aunt Sun's eyes were still red, she raised her head to look at Gu Yunxi, and replied weakly: "Third Miss, Second Young Master, for some reason, he has been spitting up milk since he was ugly, and he also had a rash on his body, and he started to have a fever after a while. Very hot all over."

Gu Yunxi took a deep look at Aunt Sun. After hearing that the nanny put the blame on her, Gu Qingzhuo's biological mother didn't show any resentment in front of her. Deep down, she didn't think that a person who could successfully give birth to a son for his father under the eyes of Meng Shi in this mansion for several years would be so pure and kind.

She couldn't help recalling the impression she had of this aunt Sun in her previous life, it turned out to be very vague, she could only vaguely remember that her father loved this aunt very much, but she couldn't remember the rest.What happened today is something that has never happened in the previous life. Could it be that Aunt Sun is a variable?

Gu Yunxi nodded lightly, and comforted: "Don't worry, Auntie, nothing will happen." Seeing Auntie Sun nodded at her, she didn't say anything, went to the side chair and sat down, quietly waiting for the doctor's call information.

Not long after, I saw a servant girl leading an old doctor in his sixties out. His beard and hair were a little gray, but he was in good spirits. It was old doctor Li from Ji Ren Tang, Gu Zhengyao, who had been used by the prime minister's residence. He is also very respectful.

When Gu Zhengyao saw that Old Doctor Li had come out, he asked, "Old Li, how is the situation?"

Old Doctor Li stroked the beard on his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Master Prime Minister, according to this old man, the second young master of your mansion has suffered from food poisoning."

Gu Zhengyao was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Is it more important?" Looking at the nanny Du Shi on the ground, her eyes became a little gloomy.

"It's not very important. Adults will only get a rash if they eat something that is likely to cause food poisoning by mistake. Children are already weak, and they will have a fever after eating something they shouldn't eat." Old Doctor Li replied.

"But it's about the milk?" Meng Shi immediately interrupted and asked.

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Meng suspiciously, and said just now: "Didn't the old man say that? It was the second young master who ate something that shouldn't be eaten, which caused food poisoning. If there is a problem with the milk, why is this nanny okay? And I have already checked However, it’s not about the milk. Does Madam not understand or doubt the old man’s medical skills?”

Gu Yunxi was amused in her heart. This old doctor Li is a well-known good doctor in Shunjing. Even if the nobles in the palace were sick, they would sometimes invite him into the palace for treatment. Today, Mrs. Meng raised such an unreasonable question, and he did not He walked away, probably because of his father's face.

Gu Zhengyao gave Meng Shi a cold look, and Meng Shi tapped her lips with a handkerchief to hide her anger, and explained embarrassingly, "That's not what I mean, I'm just worried about Brother Zhuo."

The old doctor Li ignored her and walked to the table in the room. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were already prepared on the table. He quickly opened a prescription, looked at it, and handed it to the waiting maid: "Follow this prescription." , Grab three doses, boil three bowls of medicine for one dose, let the nanny drink it, and after half an hour, feed the second young master again, don't feed it directly to the second young master, the child can't bear it."

The maid hurriedly took it and was about to pass it to Gu Zhengyao. He waved his hand and said, "Don't look at it, find someone to grab the medicine right away."

The servant girl agreed to take the prescription and went, Gu Zhengyao said a few more words to Old Doctor Li, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, but I still have some things to deal with in the middle of the night, so I won't go to see you personally." I will send you off, and I will order the housekeeper to send you out."

Old doctor Li knew what he was talking about, waved his hands quickly, and said: "How dare you thank the prime minister for sending me." Then he packed up the medicine box and left the mansion under the leadership of Gu Tao.

Gu Zhengyao then turned around and sat back on the main seat. With cold eyes, he looked at the nanny who had been kneeling on the ground: "I didn't take good care of the young master and made the young master sick. What should I do?"
