Chapter 204 Follow Him
Which country does not have court struggles?
Used to it!
Fortunately, they are not members of the royal family, so they don't have to fight to the death.
However, this time Nanyu was in turmoil, and the prince intended to send him to Dongcheng.
If it were before, he would have agreed without hesitation.
But now...
He was in a dilemma.
He was torn between serving the country and accompanying Su Yuan.
He wanted to go to Dongcheng to garrison and serve his country, but he was also reluctant to leave Su Yuan.
If he went to East City, it would be difficult for him to see Su Yuan.
So, I can't make up my mind.
He wanted to discuss something with Su Yuan, but he didn't know how to start.
He was afraid that Su Yuan would reject him.
The next day, when Qin Zhuo came for treatment again, Cheng Lang was standing beside him wearing a mask.
Qin Zhuo glanced at Cheng Lang, then sat down to give Su Yuan acupuncture. The doctor he brought with him watched from the side, learning and taking notes of Su Yuan's acupuncture techniques.
An hour later, Qin Zhuo put on his clothes, stood up, and bowed, "Thank you, Madam Gu! Would you like to come again tomorrow?"
Su Yuan shook her head. "No need! This is a recipe for a medicinal bath. Wait three months and then combine it with acupuncture. It will take three months to heal."
She handed the prescription to the doctor.
The middle-aged doctor's eyes were full of light. He had been with the adult for seven or eight years, but had never been able to cure the adult. He did not expect that a girl who was a generation younger than him had better medical skills than him and was willing to teach him medical skills.
It is true that there is always someone better than you.
The middle-aged doctor also bowed deeply to Su Yuan.
Seeing that the other party was so eager to learn, Su Yuan took out a medical book that she had modified and said, "This is a gift from the junior to the senior. I hope we can have the opportunity to learn from each other in the future."
The middle-aged doctor was flattered. He wiped his hands before taking the medical book.
He flipped through a few pages and carefully hid it in his arms.
"Madam's medical skills are unfathomable. I admire you so much." The middle-aged doctor bowed again.
Su Yuan's acupuncture technique is fast, accurate and ruthless, and he has never been able to achieve such a level even after studying medicine for most of his life.
After returning, he will continue to study medicine and strive to catch up with Doctor Su as soon as possible!
Su Yuan smiled and personally saw them out.
Only after seeing their carriage disappear from sight did Su Yuan turn around and go back to her room.
Cheng Liang also followed in.
"Brother! Are you free today?" Su Yuan asked curiously.
Cheng Lang shrugged. "I'm not needed for the Honglu Temple negotiations. I really don't have anything to do."
"Do you think they will spend so much food and silver to redeem Xiao Tong?" Su Yuan was a little curious.
Xiao Tong caused Nanyu to lose money, food, and face shame. He must feel bad when he returns.
But since he is a prince, he will not be punished too severely.
If it weren't for the prince, Nanyu probably wouldn't have sent anyone to redeem him.
It is good to have a background.
Seeing that Su Yuan was in a good mood, Cheng Lang plucked up the courage to pull her into his arms.
Su Yuan looked up at him, puzzled. "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
These days, she has been waiting for Cheng Lang to speak.
But he just didn't say anything.
She wanted to see how long he could endure.
Gu Zhiquan's condition has been getting worse recently, but she asked the doctor to prescribe the best medicine to keep him alive, and he is estimated to be able to survive until the end of the year.
At the beginning of next year, she will be able to take Gu Ruchu out for a trip.
But she wanted to wait for Cheng Lang to bring it up.
Cheng Liang hesitated for a while, then he squeezed Su Yuan's hand thoughtfully, "Yuan'er, if I were to go to East City, would you be willing to take Chuchu with me?
You don't have to stay with me in East City all the time, we can also travel to other states and counties."
He only needs to go back to East City occasionally to see the training results of the soldiers. The rest of the time, he can accompany Su Yuan and Gu Ruchu to travel and enjoy the scenery.
Su Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, "When did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell you about this? Why are you asking me now?"
Cheng Lang: ...
Isn't he afraid that she will reject him, so he hasn't dared to say it out loud?
He mustered up the courage to ask today.
I don’t know whether Su Yuan will agree.
"I'm afraid you won't agree." Cheng Lang explained.
Su Yuan: "Just say it! I'll agree."
Cheng Lang widened his eyes slightly. She...
So refreshing?
It seemed like she had thought about it long ago and was just waiting for him to ask?
"You knew this a long time ago?" Now it was Cheng Lang's turn to be curious.
Su Yuan nodded: "Yeah! Yu'er mentioned it to me, and I've thought about it a long time ago."
Cheng Liang suddenly realized that if he had been hesitant and went to Dongcheng without asking clearly, wouldn't he have missed it?
"Since you knew, why didn't you tell me? You made me... feel uneasy for a long time." Cheng Lang complained a little.
Su Yuan rolled her eyes at him. "Of course I'll wait for you to bring it up! When are we leaving?"
"Don't be in a hurry! We have to wait until the new emperor ascends the throne." Cheng Lang explained.
Sima You has not yet ascended the throne. Although Sima Yunlong is becoming more and more confused, he is still the emperor of Dongyu.
It will probably take a long time to wait.
This is fine, until Gu Ruchu grows up a little.
"Okay! When the time comes, I will bring Chuchu with me and accompany you to Dongcheng, and we... will pretend to be your wife and children." Su Yuan blinked, and her smile gradually became cunning.
Wife and children...
Cheng Lang nodded gently, "Okay!"
……
The negotiations lasted for half a month, and finally both sides made concessions, and Qin Zhuo successfully took Xiao Tong away.
Cheng Lang, as a soldier escorting the delegation, protected him to Nancheng.
Xiao Tong was a little afraid of Cheng Lang and Qin Zhuo. The two of them rode their horses in front of him, and Xiao Tong hid in the carriage, not wanting to go out to see them.
"What is the relationship between the Duke and Madam Gu?" Qin Zhuo asked suddenly.
Cheng Lang was not surprised. He had long guessed that Qin Zhuo knew that he was Su Yuan's bodyguard.
"Lord Qin, don't you know? Yuan'er and I are siblings, and my mentor is Yuan'er's grandfather." Cheng Lang told Qin Zhuo about his superficial relationship with Su Yuan.
Qin Zhuo smiled faintly, not exposing him, "So that's how it is! Madam Gu is lucky to have such a good brother like the Duke."
Cheng Lang raised the corner of his mouth, "Lord Qin, you should worry about your own health first! If Lord Qin has a hard time in Nanyu, you can come to Dongyu to seek refuge with us.
Our Highness values talent and does not ask about a hero's origins."
Hearing this, Qin Zhuo was not angry. He burst into laughter and said, "Okay! Duke, please don't be so funny!"
Anyway, given the relationship between Cheng Lang and Su Yuan, they must know about his hidden illness, and he has nothing to hide.
Not to mention that he could cure this hidden disease, even if he couldn't, he was not afraid of being laughed at by Cheng Lang.
Didn't Cheng Lang even have a wife? From an outsider's perspective, Cheng Lang deserved more sympathy.
Cheng Lang just smiled and said nothing, and stopped teasing Qin Zhuo.
By the time he safely escorted his men out of Nanmen Pass and returned to Kyoto, it was already the end of September.
