After Xie Lin left, the pavilion suddenly became quiet.
Snow is falling in clusters outside, and the sound of falling snow can be heard. The charcoal fire in the stove occasionally makes a buzzing sound, and the hot tea is steaming. The world here is extremely warm, as warm as the cold weather outside.
world.
Su Rong smiled silently, took a sip of hot tea, and it warmed her heart. Then she raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Gu, "I heard from my aunt that you can't take your hands off your book every day. What book are you reading? So
Forgetting food and sleep?"
Zhou Gu answered her without changing his expression, "Xianshu."
Su Rong shook the tea cup and said, "Isn't it possible?"
Zhou Gu was very calm, "For travel notes, you know that after the results of the scientific examination are released, I will go out and travel."
Su Rong nodded, seeming to believe it, "Where's the travelogue? Where are you planning to go as your first stop?"
Zhou Gu followed the plan he had agreed with Yan Huisheng and said, "Northern Hebei."
"Because General Pingxi's Mansion in northern Hebei keeps soldiers and horses privately?" Su Rong asked.
Zhou Gu nodded and lowered his voice and said: "Although we are raising soldiers and horses privately, it is not necessarily privately raised in the dark. I am afraid that it is privately raised by His Majesty. Otherwise, a large amount of gold and silver has flowed into northern Hebei from the national treasury over the years. How could Your Majesty do it?"
Let General Pingxi's Mansion get it easily?"
Su Rong suddenly said, "That's true."
She thought for a moment and then said carefully: "I suggest you don't go to Northern Hebei as your first stop. You go to Nanping, because once the results of the scientific examination are released, you have to go through the palace examination. After the palace examination, there will be a Qionglin Banquet, and then His Majesty will award the official position.
, if you leave as an official, it will definitely cause an uproar in Beijing. In this way, everyone will pay attention to where you travel. If you go to Northern Hebei alone, once the news is leaked, Pingxi General Zhang Ping will definitely let you go.
Reply. After all, as far as the matter of him encouraging His Majesty to raise soldiers and horses privately, he is not an unambitious person. Now this case has been investigated over and over again, and the final result is probably not related to the second prince Yanlin.
It would be too big. In this case, Concubine De and the second prince Yan Lin would definitely not be hurt. At most, they would only bring down the eldest prince. As long as the second prince remains standing, Zhang Ping will have a reason to fight for him and the East Palace.
Fight for a place. If you show it to him, he will probably be very happy."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Okay, I'll go to Nanping."
Su Rong looked at him and said, "Ning Chi, the eldest son of the Nanping Marquis Mansion, has already taken refuge in the East Palace. If you go to Nanping as your first stop, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort with his help."
"Yeah." Zhou Gu nodded.
"As for General Pingxi's Mansion..." Su Rong shook the tea cup, "We still have to start with the second prince, or if Zhang Ping is too ambitious, we can send someone to kill him secretly to avoid future troubles."
Zhou Gu immediately said: "Don't take risks yourself."
Su Rong nodded, "Don't worry, I have always cherished my own life. Secretly sending someone to kill him was only a last resort and a last resort. If there is a better solution, naturally
There still needs to be a better way.”
Zhou Gu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it."
Su Rong drank a cup of tea, stood up, and said to him: "I'm going to see the eldest princess. You should go back quickly. Judging from your face, your injury has not been completely healed. You still need to take care of yourself for ten or eight days."
Don’t leave the root of the disease behind.”
Zhou Gu also stood up, stopped her, pursed his lips and said, "Can you just look at the facial features? Do you want to take my pulse? Doctor Xu said that I can go out in a day or two."
Su Rong was about to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped and frowned, "One or two days? Impossible."
Zhou Gu stretched out his wrist to her with an affirmative look on his face, "That's what he said."
Su Rong put her hand on his wrist and took his pulse.
Zhou Gu looked at her quietly, motionless.
After a moment, Su Rong let go, "Other hand."
Zhou Gu obediently gave her his other hand.
After Su Rong took his pulse, he said to Zhou Gu with certainty: "It will take at least another seven days. One or two days will definitely not work. And what my aunt said is right. You have not had a good rest every day, and you are somewhat deficient in energy and blood, and you have been thinking too much.
If so, the injury will heal more slowly. It may look better on the outside, but in fact there is still damage on the inside and it has not healed yet. Don’t be careless.”
After she finished speaking, she let go and asked Consultant Zhou, "Are you still taking the medicine now?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "It's still the same prescription you prescribed."
Su Rong frowned again, "Doctor Xu conducts daily consultations and hasn't changed your prescription? Logically speaking, it should have been changed a few days ago."
Zhou Gu shook his head, "No."
In fact, Dr. Xu asked him to change his prescription, but he was not willing to change it, especially since the medicine had been stopped yesterday.
Su Rong said: "Shall I give you another prescription?"
After she finished speaking, she turned back to look for paper and pen. She found that there was no paper and pen here. She looked at Zhou Gu and said to him: "Have someone bring me the pen."
Zhou Gu nodded and called out. Ziye, who was hiding far away, quickly ran over and listened to Zhou Gu's instructions and went immediately.
Su Rong could only sit down again and wait for midnight.
Zhou Gu poured another cup of tea for Su Rong.
Midnight took a pen and paper, and after a long while, he took it out and laid it out on the table.
Su Rongduo glanced at Ziye. Ziye felt a little guilty and didn't dare to raise his head. He rolled up his sleeves and helped Su Rong polish the ink. Zhou Gu stopped him, "You go down, I'll do it."
Midnight quickly retreated.
After Zhou Gu polished the ink, Su Rong picked up the pen, quickly wrote a prescription, and handed it to Zhou Gu, "Eat well for seven days, and follow what I said, and pay more attention to rest."
Zhou Gu stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it, and coughed lightly, "You... I don't quite recognize your word."
Su Rong paused and looked at the prescription she was trying to write for him in a hurry, feeling speechless for a moment. After a while, she patiently read it to him one by one.
Zhou Gu nodded, indicating that he remembered it, put away the prescription, and suddenly said: "Do you still remember what you promised me?"
"what's up?"
"That's what I mentioned to you. Go to the library in the palace. There are several rare books. Can you borrow them for me with your eyes?" Zhou Gu reminded her.
Su Rong naturally didn't forget it, but...
She looked at Zhou Gu and said, "You have said this, but are you sure I agree?"
Zhou Gu paused for a moment, stared at her, and said with great certainty, "You agreed at that time."
Seeing that Su Rong was silent, he reexamined, "There is a military book, which is the handbook of the famous general Zhang Ku three hundred years ago, a book on state governance, which is the policy theory of the famous prime minister Wang Sheng four hundred years ago, and a treasure map.
It is said to be a treasure map from the period of Emperor Jingyuan, and no one has been able to decipher it to this day."
He was very concerned about it and said with all his heart: "That's it for the first two. Don't you want to try the treasure map from the time of Emperor Jingyuan? Now that the treasury is empty, what if the Wei Dynasty really wants to use your life experience to start a war?
, when the two countries raise armies, what will Daliang use to fight? If there is no military pay, the soldiers will not have enough food to eat, they will not have enough clothes to keep warm, and they will not have enough soldiers and armor, won't they have no chance of winning? If there is a treasure map, maybe they will not be afraid of the coming of the Wei Dynasty.
Guilty."
Su Rong: "..."
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll try."
She paused and then said: "But you should take good care of your injuries. I will discuss this matter with His Highness the Crown Prince and see if His Highness can take me there."
Zhou Gu was silent for a moment and whispered: "Can't I take you there?"
Su Rong was very decisive, "No, you should take good care of your injuries."
After saying that, Su Rong turned around and walked out, waving to him behind her without looking back, "It's so cold, go back quickly and don't rely on your youth to take your body lightly, otherwise I won't care about you next time.
"
Zhou Gu was about to follow her, but upon hearing this, he could only stop and watch her figure walk away quickly.
