Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 80
"Please, Young Master Gu, move over here, and ask Weichen to help you feel your pulse."

The person who spoke was none other than Imperial Physician Shang——Shang Chengchuan, a gray-haired old man. Although he was old, his eyes were clear, his spirit was hale and hearty, and his body was very strong.

How could Gu Lingqing listen to him?He sat down directly on the ground in front of the emperor, crying loudly.

Seeing this, Po Gu quickly kowtowed: "I hope that the emperor will allow this old servant to come forward and comfort Young Master Gu."

The emperor looked at Gu Lingqing who was wailing in front of him, and impatiently waved at Gu Po: "Yes."

Gu Po just stepped forward and pulled Gu Lingqing to His Royal Highness, and saw Gu Lingqing returned to Gu Po's side, and threw herself into her arms, crying non-stop, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"What kind of place is this? I don't want to be here, the people here are so scary, Mrs. Gu, let's go!"

Gu Po gently patted his back and comforted him: "Little Prince, don't be afraid, Gu Po is here."

Finally, under Gu Po's comfort, Gu Lingqing gradually calmed down her emotions.

During this process, the crown prince was indifferent throughout the whole process. Although Gu Lingqing looked like a child now, his stupid look looked like a full-fledged child.

However, in Zhang Yi's letter to herself, it was mentioned that Gu Lingqing's stupid state was just pretending, but Zhang Yi is very happy to exaggerate the facts, so I don't know if it is true or not.

In Gu Zixing's heart, she still has doubts about Gu Lingqing's condition.

Granny Gu took Gu Lingqing's arm and walked towards Imperial Physician Shang: "Please trouble Imperial Physician Shang."

Gu Po kept her eyelids lowered, and after supporting Gu Lingqing to sit in front of Imperial Physician Shang, she stood beside her and waited with her head bowed.

After Doctor Shang saw Granny Gu at close range, he opened his lips lightly, swallowed, and was slightly absent-minded. He only came back to his senses after hearing what Granny Gu said.

Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Doctor Shang took Gu Lingqing's pulse, closed his eyes, and stroked his beard with the other hand.

After a while, he opened his eyes, stood up and walked in front of the emperor, bowing.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Young Master Gu has a severe cold syndrome in his body. I am afraid that the cold air entered his body when he was a child, and it has become more and more serious. He needs to rest well."

Hearing the words of Imperial Physician Shang, the Crown Prince stepped forward: "Father, Imperial Physician Shang will inevitably make mistakes in diagnosis alone. It is better to ask Imperial Physician Li to take a pulse as well, and the result will be more accurate."

After finishing speaking, the prince bowed his hands, lowered his head, and looked respectful.

The prince's move hit the emperor's heart: "The prince is right..."

Before the emperor finished speaking, the doctor Shang flicked his sleeves: "Does His Royal Highness don't believe in the medical skills of this minister, or do you suspect that the minister is cheating in it? Huh!" He sneered coldly, obviously very angry.

The Imperial Physician Shang is usually in charge of the big and small matters of the Imperial Hospital. He is notorious for his bad temper. As long as it is something that is not pleasing to the eye, he must point it out to others in person.

However, no one dared to face off with the Imperial Physician Shang, because the Imperial Physician Shang was superb in medical skills, and he had been taking care of the emperor's body all the time.

You said, whose family still can't guarantee all the illnesses, if he really offends this stubborn doctor Shang, then he will really do something he can't help!

The emperor knew Shang Chengchuan's temperament very well, and trusted him very much, otherwise he would not have entrusted his body to take care of him.

Compared with those courtiers who are respectful to him on the surface, Shang Chengchuan's straight temper is more in line with the emperor's heart.

"Your Majesty, if you don't trust me so much, then, in the future, the emperor's body will be treated by Li Taiyi, so that His Royal Highness can feel at ease!"

"You..." Gu Zixing was so angry at him.

"Okay!" The emperor said with a gloomy face, "I believe in the imperial doctor Shang, and His Royal Highness the crown prince also has good intentions, but there is no need to waste it."

"Father!" Gu Zixing's tone was very anxious.

"Don't talk too much." The emperor yelled at Gu Zixing, blocking what he wanted to say.

"You idiot, when will you change your temper!" Although the emperor spoke to the doctor Shang with a straight face, there was no harshness in his eyes.

Doctor Shang heard the emperor's words, and he didn't have the slightest intention of repentance: "The emperor knows that this humble minister has such a temper, and he has stepped into the coffin with one leg, and he must never change it."

"Hehehe..." The emperor was not angry at the rude behavior of Shang Taiyi, but laughed out loud.

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Gu Zixing looked at Gu Lingqing who was sitting on the side in a daze, and snorted coldly: "Since you have a cold disease, you should stay in the palace and take care of it!"

"Okay, since Ling Qing's health is not good, let's stay in the palace temporarily and let the imperial doctor take care of his body, Xiao Li, go and tidy up the Chaoyang Palace."

When Eunuch Li heard this, his expression was slightly stunned. This Chaoyang Palace was originally the residence of Concubine De. Since Concubine De was thrown into the cold palace, it has been vacant.

However, having been with the emperor for a long time, Eunuch Li has already developed the ability to be happy without showing any signs of expression, so he lowered his head and replied: "Zha."

The Seventh Prince watched the play from beginning to end without expressing any opinions.

"I see you defending your elder brother everywhere on weekdays, why didn't you say a word when you saw me today!"

After the prince satirized Gu Qi, he left in a huff.

It was rare that Gu Qi didn't choke back this time, and lowered his eyes, thoughtful in his heart.

Gu Po followed Eunuch Li to the Chaoyang Palace, but Gu Lingqing still hid behind her, following her timidly, not daring to leave a single step.

"Nurse Gu, this is the place. Our family has already ordered someone to clean up the west wing. Let's make do with it tonight. I'll find a maid tomorrow to clean the entire palace carefully."

Gu Po blessed Eunuch Li: "This old slave thanked Eunuch Li."

This Eunuch Li is good at observing words and expressions, besides, he can stay by the emperor's side for so long without diminishing his favor, which is enough to show that he has a strong mind.

Moreover, he has always been willing to form good karma and never do things that would add insult to injury.

In this harem, and because he is so smooth, the concubines in all the palaces are also very polite to him.

"It's been a tiring day, Mammy Gu, let's take a rest with Young Master Gu, tomorrow our family will bring another batch of maids over for Mammy to choose."

After Mammy Gu thanked Eunuch Li again, Eunuch Li turned around and left, while Po Gu pulled up Gu Lingqing, who was looking stupid beside her, and walked to the west wing.

After the two entered the room and closed the door, they only dared to look at each other, and didn't dare to say a word that showed flaws.

This is not like being in a small courtyard in the countryside, but this is in an imperial palace. The partition wall has ears, and there may be more than just one ear.

The two were brought back to the imperial city with such a big fanfare this time, they would definitely be the target of public criticism, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at them.
