The eldest princess of Sheng'an has lived her whole life, and she has long expected that Su Rong will refuse. If Su Rong was such a soft-hearted person, she would not have been tough on the day she broke off the engagement, when Zhou Gu even said harsh words to express her disapproval.
.
She acts simply and neatly, one thing is one thing and two things are two things, and she is not sloppy.
Last night Zhou Gu had a fever, so she sent for him and came to rescue him without saying a word. After Zhou Gu woke up, she didn't stay long, said goodbye and left.
Her temperament is probably the temperament of the future heir to the Nanchu royal family that Xie Yuan consciously cultivated!
If such a woman becomes king in Southern Chu, she will definitely be able to support the entire Southern Chu Dynasty. Only a qualified heir to the throne who does not indulge in the love of his children will be a qualified heir to the throne. Otherwise, the orders will change at night, and the mind will be wandering, swinging from left to right.
It is easy to be soft-hearted and soft-eared, and you will let others manipulate you. It will not only harm others, but also harm yourself. It is not suitable for being a king and in charge of the country.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an felt both admiration and helplessness in her heart, but her face was as gentle as ever. She was not unreasonable, and she could not act in a rude manner. She would rely on her old age to act like one, and force people to agree. She sighed deeply,
"In that case, Brother Gu will spare you the trouble."
Su Rong nodded, "It should be. It is obligatory."
She always felt sorry for Zhou Gu. When they were in Jiangning County, Zhou Gu fell in love with her under her special temptation. But she pulled away and left him alone. She had the responsibility to help him come out.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an smiled and said, "Su Rong, thank you. Now that His Majesty has learned your identity, he will meet you sooner or later and clarify your life experience. Please call me great-aunt!"
Su Rong was kind and gentle, "aunt."
Princess Sheng'an clapped her hands repeatedly, her eyes red, "Good boy, you are as tough-minded as your mother."
The Duke's wife said from the side: "Logically speaking, you should call me cousin, but it doesn't matter what you call me."
"Aunt, I'm sorry." Su Rong looked at the Duke's wife and apologized. Because of the eldest lady's teachings, she had no shortage of maternal love and could understand the heart of a mother.
The Duke's wife shook her head, "There are things you can and cannot do. From your point of view, you didn't do anything wrong. What's more, you saved Zhou Gu twice. Auntie thanks you."
Su Rong smiled and said, "This is what I can do. Auntie doesn't need to thank you."
She stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Princess Sheng'an stood up after her, "Okay, I'll see you off."
Su Rong quickly stopped her, "Sit down quickly. I'm a junior. You really don't have to bully me like this. I can just go on my own."
"Mother, please rest. I'll see you off." Madame the Duke stood up.
Princess Sheng'an no longer insisted.
Fengling also quickly bowed out.
The two of them were sent out of the courtyard of the eldest princess Sheng'an by the Duke's wife. When they met the old protector and the imperial doctor Xu entered the courtyard, the old protector asked: "Little girl, are you leaving?"
"Yes, Grandpa Zhou." Su Rong nodded.
The old protector of the country said: "Old Xu insists on asking you for advice on how to reduce fever. Just say a few words to him to prevent him from pestering me to come to you."
Doctor Xu quickly handed over his hand, "Miss Qi, I'm bothering you. Can you give me a moment to teach me a thing or two. I saw the prescription you prescribed, how did you come up with such a wonderful prescription?"
Su Rong smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, you praise me. I am just proficient in pharmacology. This prescription for reducing fever was read by my master from an ancient book and passed it to me, so I wrote it down."
It's not a prescription I made myself, and I don't have the ability to do it. I'm just picking up the wisdom of my predecessors."
Of course she couldn't say that it was Fengling who donated five thousand taels of silver to the Great Buddha Temple. She unkindly borrowed the prescription from her eyes. By coincidence, it happened to be used by Zhou Gu, so she could only use it on her master.
.
"May I ask who your master is?" Doctor Xu was stunned. She said, how could Su Rong prescribe such exquisite prescriptions at such a young age? Such prescriptions require memorizing thousands of herbs in the world and countless times.
Only by conducting experiments can we find the most suitable match for each medicine, achieve the most precise effect, and take it without damaging the spleen and stomach.
"It was an old doctor from Huichun Hall in Jiangning County who passed away." Su Rong said.
Doctor Xu's eyes lit up, "I heard that there was an old miracle doctor who was proficient in pharmacology at Huichun Hall in Jiangning County. He was not only good at pharmacology, but also acupuncture."
"Yes, that's him."
"That's good." Dr. Xu cleared up the confusion and asked Su Rong tentatively, "Miss Su Qi, can I use this prescription of yours in the future? Don't worry, if it's left in the hospital, it won't be in vain."
Su Rong blinked, "Medical prescriptions should benefit people and should not be shelved. You can use them as you like."
Doctor Xu immediately raised his hand and bowed deeply, "Miss Su Qi is a great kindness."
Su Rong shook his head, "Then Imperial Physician Xu, can I leave?"
Doctor Xu immediately got out of the way and said, "Please."
Su Rong said goodbye to the old protector of the country, "Grandpa Zhou, I'm leaving."
The old Protector waved his hand and said, "If you have free time, come and sit."
Su Rong agreed.
Seeing the Duke's wife sending Su Rong and Fengling away, Imperial Doctor Xu and the old Protector sighed, "Old Duke, I was so frightened yesterday that I almost lost my soul. If I can't save your grandson, my old face will...
There’s no need to hang around in the hospital anymore.”
The old Duke thought that you were able to survive now thanks to Su Rong. He waved his hand to drive people away, "Okay, you have also met people, you have asked what you need to ask, and you have said what you need to say. This time
Can you stop pestering me?"
"Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving now." Although Dr. Xu didn't say a few words to Su Rong, he was still very satisfied and turned around to leave.
The old Protector waved his hand to the housekeeper, who quickly escorted Dr. Xu out of the house in person.
The old Lord Protector entered the room and saw the eldest princess Sheng'an looking at the antipyretic prescription that Feng Ling had copied. Her eyes were red. He was startled, "Brother Gu, didn't you reduce your fever? You're like this
What happened again?"
Princess Sheng'an glared at the old protector, "I'm not as big-hearted as you."
The old Protector was puzzled, "Why am I so arrogant?"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an didn't bother to tell him. Since Su Rong didn't agree, she and her eldest daughter-in-law had reached a private agreement to find Su Rong. There was no need to let this old thing know about it. She put down the prescription and
"Let me tell you, when Brother Gu grows up, he will be able to make his own decisions in the future. From now on, I will not allow you, an old guy, to be the master of him again."
The old Protector's beard curled up again and again, and he said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? Now that his wings have hardened, I can't be his master anymore? Besides, didn't you agree with the decision I made before?"
Why is it all my fault now?"
Princess Sheng'an glared at him, "I'm not blaming you, I'm just telling you that neither you nor I will be allowed to do it in the future. He can make his own decisions on his own affairs."
The old Protector was also frightened by Zhou Gu yesterday, especially when he and Dr. Xu were using local methods to reduce his fever, he kept muttering "Xiaoqi Su Rong" for most of the night.
I also felt bad, "I know."
The grandson whom he had so much hope for almost died. In all these years, he had never experienced such a shock from him. He almost died.
He rubbed his brows and walked to the inner room, "No, I have to take a nap. I can't hold it any longer. Aren't you tired? You should take a rest now!"
The eldest princess of Sheng'an was naturally tired, so she nodded and asked Aunt Zheng to put away the prescriptions and go to rest.
The Duke's wife sent Su Rong to the gate and watched her and Fengling get on their horses. The two of them left the Duke Protector's Mansion together. The little girl on the horse had her back straight and rode away. She was different from everyone else in the capital.
We are such a lovely lady, but it's a pity that we can't be her little daughter-in-law.
She returned to the house and went to Shuanglinyuan to see Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu was still sitting at the table. He hadn't moved since Su Rong and Fengling left. He just sat there with the travel book in his hand and didn't read many pages.
Seeing the Duke's wife coming, he asked: "Mother, is she gone?"
"Well, I've left." Madam the Duke sat down and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling refreshed today?"
"Yeah." Zhou Gu nodded and asked her, "You didn't say anything to her, right?"
The Duke's wife understood what he was referring to, looked at him, and couldn't bear to deceive her son, "Brother Gu, let it go! Girl Su Rong, she can send her own secret guards to track you for dozens of miles to rescue you.
Or she could come to the capital with blood all over her body so that you are not afraid of being exposed late at night, with heavy swords and no eyes, just to keep you safe. But now she has accepted Ye Guixue's hundred thousand troops and made a pact with him.
Then it is impossible for him to go back on his promise about marriage and then reject him and choose you."
Zhou Gu had expected it. He was so depressed that day that he was about to collapse. He couldn't help but talk to his mother. Afterward, he knew that she would not be able to bear it and would be influenced by him. It was impossible not to say something when he met Su Rong today.
Yes, but the result Su Rong gave was also within his expectation.
Even if he humbles himself and begs for mercy, she will not agree.
She is a person who has chosen a path, and once she makes up her mind, she will move forward without hesitation. He is not afraid that she will move forward without hesitation, but he is only afraid that he will lose control in the end.
After experiencing life and death, his mood has become much calmer. "I'm sorry for bothering my mother, but my son is unfilial. He will try his best not to fall under the lintel of the Duke's palace and not to be a person who doesn't care about propriety, justice and integrity."
