Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 85 Good place

Every five days when Imperial Physician Shang came to see Gu Lingqing again, Po Gu would always find various reasons not to stay by his side.

Every time Doctor Shang was about to leave, he couldn't hide his disappointment.

Xu Shi pushed Imperial Physician Shang into a hurry, and he arrived at Chaoyang Palace one day earlier today.

At this time, Gu Lingqing was reading a comic book in the room, and Gu Po was making shoes for Gu Lingqing. The shoes Gu Po made were strong and comfortable, and she was used to wearing Gu Po's shoes, but Gu Lingqing felt uncomfortable wearing someone else's shoes.

Seeing that winter was coming, Gu Po took advantage of her free time to make a few more pairs of thick boots for Gu Lingqing.

When Doctor Shang came in, what he saw was this scene. Gu Po was immersed in her shoes and didn't even notice that someone came in.

"Cough cough." Gu Lingqing coughed lightly, Gu Po looked up and saw the doctor Shang at the door, and was stunned.

The doctor Shang has a legitimate reason: "I will take a rest tomorrow, and I cannot come to see and treat Young Lord Gu, so I postponed it for a day."

Gu Po lowered her head, her eyes dodged a little, she wanted to get up and go out, but she felt a little deliberate, so she continued to make shoes on the sidelines.

As usual, Imperial Physician Shang sat next to Gu Lingqing, pretending to diagnose his pulse.

"Ah!" Gu Po exclaimed, since there was one more person in the room, Gu Po's thoughts were really hard to concentrate, and if she was not paying attention, the stitches missed, and her hand was stuck.

Doctor Shang heard that Gu Lingqing didn't care who he was, and rushed towards Po Gu's direction with a brisk walk. The speed was not at all like a person in his 50s!
"Why are you still so careless at such an advanced age?" Imperial Physician Shang picked up Granny Gu's finger to examine the wound.

Gu Po glanced at Gu Lingqing, and pulled her fingers out of his hand: "Let go."

Doctor Shang really let go, walked back to Gu Lingqing's side, found medicine and muslin from the medicine box he brought, and walked towards Po Gu again.

Regardless of Po Gu's reluctance, he treated the wound on her finger and wrapped it up thickly.

Looking at her tightly wrapped wound, Gu Po pulled hard and pulled it off: "It's not so delicate."

Doctor Shang looked at the muslin thrown on the ground by Po Gu, and blew his beard and stared angrily. Po Po Gu looked up at him, curled her lips, lowered her head, and continued to make shoes as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Mrs. Gu's state, Doctor Shang turned around and went to the table to get her own medicine box, and walked out without looking back: "Farewell!"

Gu Po waited for him to go out, then raised her head and looked at his leaving figure with complicated eyes. Finally, after seeing the back of Grand Doctor Shang, she lowered her head again and continued with her work.

Gu Lingqing looked at Po Gu who had her head down, and at the white hair growing out of her ears, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart. After all, Po Po Gu was only in her 40s.

At that time, I went to that small village with Gu Lingqing, and I was only in my 20s when I lived with him. In the blink of an eye, 18 years have passed.

18 years, how many 18 years are there in life, Gu Po spent all the best years of her life in taking care of Gu Lingqing.

Remembering that she was pretending to be a fool all day long, Gu Lingqing squeezed the corner of the table tightly, and one day, she would pull down that dog emperor in a fair manner.

I don't know what the emperor thought, but three days before Qiu Lie set off, Eunuch Li came to Chaoyang Palace and said that he wanted Gu Lingqing to accompany him.

Gu Po suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and pulled Gu Lingqing to kneel down to accept the order.

After Eunuch Li left, Po Gu and Gu Lingqing came into the house, found an excuse, and pushed the maid back. Po Po Gu appeared in front of Gu Lingqing with a sad face on her face.

"I don't know what the emperor's actions mean?"

Gu Lingqing closed his eyes, put the receipt on the table and tapped it lightly, once and for all, this is his habitual action when thinking. When Gu Po saw this, she didn't bother her, she just stood in front of him, waiting for him to speak .

"I'm afraid it's just a test."

Gu Po frowned, and after careful thought, she understood that on the hunting ground, bows and arrows have no eyes, and a person's instinctive reaction when encountering danger cannot be fooled. Sure enough, the dog emperor still doubted the little prince.

"I'm afraid, I'm going to suffer some flesh injuries." Gu Lingqing opened her eyes, her eyes were full of fear, as if she was talking about what to eat tonight.

But Po Gu couldn't be so calm: "My lord, why don't you get sick that day during Autumn Hunting? The risk of this trip is unknown, it's really..."

Gu Lingqing stopped tapping on the table, stood up, walked to the window, put her hands behind her back, and watched the leaves turn yellow outside.

"No, I'm afraid that evading it will make people more suspicious."

"That…"

Gu Lingqing raised her right hand, and stopped what Po Gu had to say: "Since it's here, let it be."

In an elegantly decorated palace, sitting in front of the table was a woman who was only allowed to wear underwear, holding a box of incense in her hand, putting it under her nose, and sniffing gently, her manner was very elegant.

"Your Majesty, although the young prince Gu is an idiot, the nanny Gu is a formidable one. The servants have no chance to do anything, but according to the observations of the servants these days, the young prince Gu must be really stupid."

There was a court lady kneeling in front of her, she lowered her head after saying these words, she was one of the two court ladies who were kicked out by Po Gu.

The empress gave a glance to the nanny standing next to her, and the nanny took out a money bag from her arms and walked towards the maid.

"Get up." The nun helped the maid who was kneeling on the ground up, and handed her the money bag in her hand, "You did a good job, this is your reward from the empress."

Feeling the weight of the purse, the court lady beamed with joy: "Thank you, empress."

But after a while, the maid knelt on the ground again: "I beg your mother to give this servant a way to survive. I don't want to be sent back to the Shang Palace Bureau."

The empress was still smelling all kinds of incense on the table, and the nanny stepped forward to help her up: "How could my empress forget you? I have already found a good place for you."

"Really?" The maid's face was very happy, "These empresses, thank you empresses."

"Go, the empress is going to rest too, you go back first, tomorrow's order will be issued to the Shang Palace Bureau."

When the maid heard this, she felt confident, and after leaving the empress' room, the empress opened her lips slightly: "Go."

The nun got the order and followed the maid.

The maid walked very quickly on the way back to the Shang Palace Bureau, her steps were brisk.

Suddenly, the maid's eyes widened, and she grabbed her neck tightly with her hands, only to see that there was a thin rope around her neck.

The court lady was quickly dragged into the nearby grass, and after kicking a few times, there was no more movement.

At this time, the nun behind her put away the rope, dragged the maid's body to a nearby well, and threw her into it.

"It's a nice place."

The next day, a court lady came to fetch water, and seeing the pale face in the well, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

The stewards of the palace came here, looked at the corpses on the ground, found two eunuchs, rolled up the mats, and sent them to the mass grave.

"It's so early in the morning, it's really unlucky."

For this kind of situation, the person in charge is obviously familiar with it, without even finding out the cause of death and where it came from, he directly ordered someone to deal with it.
