Zhou Man was popular in the palace and was often sought after by others, so he had met people who entered the Shenxing Department. She said: "It's better than those who came out of the Shenxing Department."
Gu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, "I would also like to thank Mr. Zhou. If Mr. Zhou hadn't spoken at that time, I would have been sent to the Criminal Punishment Department."
Given his age and physical condition, entering the Sentence Department would basically be a waste of money. Even if he could come out alive, he wouldn't live long.
Gu Zhong asked, "Can my injury heal? How many years can I live?"
Zhou Man felt his pulse and knew that he had injured his internal organs and had some internal bleeding, but she was optimistic, "As long as he takes good care of himself, it won't be a problem to live another seventy, eighty, or ninety years."
Gu Zhong laughed and said, "Master Zhou, there is no need to coax me. During the torture, my mouth was filled with sweetness, which obviously hurt my internal organs. At that time, I thought, if I can get out safely, I will be satisfied as long as I can live for another two or three years."
."
Zhou Man first used a needle to relieve pain and stop the bleeding. After relieving his pain, he began to clean his wounds. While talking nonsense to him, "As long as you follow the doctor's instructions, this wish will not be difficult to come true. When I see a doctor, I hate not to follow it."
It’s the doctor’s advice…”
Gu Zhong was sweating on his forehead. He endured the pain while trying to listen to her words, so as to make himself feel better.
But he didn't know whether her injection had an effect or the pain lasted for a long time. Later, he could no longer feel the pain.
Gu Cai prepared the medicine and brought it to the table, but Zhou Man hadn't even finished treating the wound...
His wound was very fine, with some flesh foam and inconspicuous dirt attached to it. If it was not cleaned, the wound would be easily broken and life-threatening.
Zhou Man asked Gu Zhong to drink the medicine first and then continue.
After all the wounds on his body were treated, the quilt under him was also dyed red.
Zhou Man applied medicine and bandage to him, and changed the sheets and quilt together with Gu Cai. He looked as if he had been fished out of the water.
She sat down on the small stool beside the bed and gasped, "Being a doctor is really a strenuous job."
The sleepy Gu Zhong was awakened by her words. He smiled and said, "This is the first time I heard this."
Zhou Man turned to look at his face, and said to Gu Cai, who was also out of breath: "Go and see if there is anything to eat in the kitchen. If so, bring something for your godfather to eat, preferably porridge, eggs or noodles.
Such a good thing."
Gu Cai hesitated, "It's almost Haishi, isn't it?"
It was already late at night, and everyone had gone to bed early. Yeting Palace is not Tai Chi Palace, so there must be nothing left at this late hour.
Gu Zhong said: "Get some money and ask for some food from the kitchen. Mr. Zhou must be hungry too."
Gu Cai agreed, felt in the cabinet, took out a money bag and went out.
Gu Zhong is still very rich, not only in the palace, but also outside. These are the escape routes he has prepared for himself. Originally, he could not come tonight after the weekend, but at dawn tomorrow, they will also find a way to ask other imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to come and take a look.
One look at it.
In the palace, even if you don't have power, you can still get through if you have money, but the road is a bit narrow.
So Gu Zhong was grateful from the bottom of his heart that Zhou Man could come and come late at night.
In order to save candles, Zhou Man extinguished all the other candles, leaving only one.
The flickering candle was particularly conspicuous in the quiet night. Gu Zhong couldn't help but look at it. The full shadow spread on his tent, and he could see it when he raised his head.
Gu Zhong exhaled slowly, feeling reassured and said, "Thank you so much this time, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Man leaned back on the foot of the bed and couldn't help but yawned, "You're welcome, didn't Master Gu always help me before?"
She said: "I am a doctor, I just treat illnesses and save people."
"Lord Zhou, I wish you could stay like this in the future," Gu Zhong said, "With His Highness the Crown Prince here, you will get what you want."
Gu Zhong smiled when he said this, "Emperor and courtier, isn't this what happened this time? His Majesty is seriously ill, the prince is about to ascend the throne, and there are only so many positions around him, and his heart is also
It's so big, old ministers like us and their confidants will worry about being replaced and have delusional thoughts, and this will cause trouble."
Zhou Man was stunned, turned to look at him, and asked, "Am I going to be replaced too?"
Gu Zhong: "...I didn't talk about you, I talked about us old people."
He said: "And Master Zhou, haven't you always been a member of His Royal Highness?"
Speaking of this, even Gu Zhong envied her. Although she belonged to His Royal Highness, His Majesty also had great trust in her, and she had been favored and reused for many years.
The emperor knew that she was the prince's servant but still used her. He even directly trained the couple as the prince's assistants without any suspicion or warning.
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, they were probably the only two ministers who could seamlessly connect the favor of two generations of emperors.
At this point, Zhou Man was very snobbish and did not refute that he was not the prince. For such a beneficial thing, they just said yes.
However, she was still very curious about this incident. Unfortunately, everyone kept it secret and refused to tell anyone. She heard that the emperor directly rejected Mr. Old Tang's request for a detailed investigation and planned to close the case in a haphazard manner.
Zhou Man lowered his voice and asked, "Master Gu, do you know who is framing you this time?"
Seeing her curious face, Gu Zhong smiled slightly and said, "I know."
Zhou Man's eyes widened and he was about to ask in detail, but Gu Zhong had already said: "But so what if I know? I can't do anything to them. This matter will end in confusion in the end."
Zhou Man: "Why?"
She frowned, "You just won't pursue it?"
Gu Zhong said calmly: "Even the prince has suffered the disadvantage of being mute. As an eunuch, am I even more powerful and noble than the prince?"
Zhou Man was speechless.
Gu Zhong looked at her and said: "Mr. Zhou, there is no need to ask the reasons for some things, and there is no need to get to the bottom of things. In addition to love, things in this palace are all about profit, especially for people like us."
"We have no roots and no family. We can only live one day at a time. If we can live well in this day, it will be worth risking our lives," Gu Zhong said: "Don't look at the many good relationships I have made over the years, but I
There are also many people who have offended me, and some of them are as tolerant and generous as you. Even if you occasionally offend, you don't take it seriously, but there are also some who always remember it. If you don't have the chance, just pay it forward. If you have the opportunity, you will naturally do it.
Give me a push and I will be in danger."
"There are even more people who hate me so much that they gnash their teeth with hatred. Such people have no chance, but they still want to create opportunities to make me irrecoverable." Gu Zhong said: "I am a small servant who can do this, let alone someone who stands above ten thousand people.
Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
"There are countless people who hate him, or people who are disliked by His Highness the Crown Prince. There are countless people in the former dynasty and the harem. Who among these people doesn't hope that something will happen to him?" Gu Zhong said: "Not everyone has Lord Wei's mind. Even if he hates His Majesty, because His Majesty
If it is beneficial to the common people, we will help you wholeheartedly; not everyone has Lord Zhou's luck, to be valued by His Majesty, to be liked by His Highness the Crown Prince, and to be in an invincible position."
Those people in the previous harem who had opposed the prince or had conflicts with the prince were the ones who least wanted the prince to ascend the throne.
In addition, there is the aristocratic family that has always been disliked by the prince. Because of conflicting interests, there are often disagreements and criticisms.
