Please, Your Majesty, give me a chance to diagnose and treat your concubine!
As soon as Gu Qiancheng's words came out, the old man was stunned. He didn't care about the emperor's presence. He quickly looked up at Gu Qiancheng and called out in warning: "Qiancheng..." Do you know what you are talking about?
Gu Qiancheng did not speak, but gave the old man a look of affirmation, and knelt on the ground quietly, waiting for the old emperor's decision.
The interaction between grandfather and grandson did not escape the eyes of the old emperor. The old emperor originally thought that Mrs. Gu recommended Gu Qiancheng to treat the imperial concubine, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Gu Qing, what's going on?" the old emperor said, with anger hidden in his mouth, and he felt as if he had been tricked.
Mr. Gu was dripping with cold sweat, but he still wanted to make amends: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This grandson is worried about your mother's condition, so he took the initiative to seek medical treatment in a moment of urgency. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The old man looked at Gu Qiancheng warningly, not allowing Gu Qiancheng to speak again.
"Is it urgent?" This explanation was acceptable, and the old emperor nodded: "I do mean it. No wonder the imperial concubine has always said that this niece in the house is good. When I saw her today, she really meant it."
Although she has an arrogant temperament and does not know good from evil, she finally has the brains to know who is kind to her, knows how to repay her, and does not hide away when things happen.
The old man felt panicked after hearing this, and he felt more and more regretful about bringing Gu Qiancheng here. But at this point, he couldn't change anything at all, so he could only try his best to save it.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty praised me. This child has always been strictly controlled and does not follow ordinary things. I heard that your Majesty was seriously ill, and I was very anxious. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had the nerve to bring her into the palace, and begged the Emperor to be kind and allow her to stay with him in the palace.
Empress."
Mr. Gu tried his best to put aside the matter of Gu Qiancheng rescuing people, but Gu Qiancheng had already said his words, how could he take them back.
At this time, the old emperor was worried that no one could cure Gu Guifei. Since Gu Qiancheng jumped out, the old emperor would not let her go easily.
The old emperor just pretended that he had not heard what Mr. Gu said. After assessing the situation, Gu Qiancheng asked in a deep voice: "Gu Qiancheng, how confident are you that you can cure the imperial concubine?"
"When I return to the emperor, I need to see my empress's condition before she can make a diagnosis." Gu Qiancheng was also cautious. Gu Guifei pretended to be sick and was able to make sure that the imperial doctor could not make mistakes. She must have been fully prepared.
The old emperor was immediately displeased: "What if you can't cure it after seeing it?" What's the point of being a concubine in the palace? You can see it if you want?
"My daughter is willing to die, I just hope that the empress can turn the crisis into peace." Gu Qiancheng said without thinking, and her words shocked not only Mrs. Gu, but also the emperor...
The old man was speechless and collapsed on the ground. His legs had no strength at all.
The emperor was stunned for a moment and then said: "Death? What is your life worth?"
"Worthless." At least in the eyes of the old emperor, killing her was as easy as crushing an ant.
"I only ask the emperor to give me a chance. If I can't cure my mother's illness, I am willing to die to apologize." Gu Qiancheng seemed to have pushed himself into a desperate situation, but he didn't let the old emperor see it.
You can see how much she "respects" Gu Guifei.
It's just about saying nice things, everyone can...
"He is quite courageous." The old emperor had to admit that he once again looked at Gu Qiancheng with admiration.
Not many people dare to bet their lives on a chance to see a doctor.
"Since you have this intention, I will help you. I will allow you to treat the imperial concubine. If the treatment is not good, you will be buried with her. If you are cured, I will reward you heavily." The old emperor was also generous, but...
The reward he was talking about was not what Gu Qiancheng wanted. After Gu Qiancheng thanked the old emperor, he did not stand up. Instead, he bowed down again with a gesture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat: "Your Majesty, if I cure your empress' illness,
Can I ask for a favor?"
"Grace? What grace do you want to ask for?" The joy in the old emperor's eyes suddenly disappeared.
As an emperor, in the eyes of the old emperor, he could not refuse anything he gave, and he could never ask for anything he didn't want to give. Gu Qiancheng's request made him very unhappy.
As for the old man?
When Gu Qiancheng said that he would risk his life, he was completely confused. He had no idea what Gu Qiancheng was talking about, let alone observing the emperor's thoughts.
Gu Qiancheng had already guessed that this would be the case, so he was not afraid, but calmly stated his request: "My daughter is willing to ask the emperor, and my daughter is allowed to marry independently."
In this era, a woman's marriage determines the rest of her life, but a woman's marriage is never decided by herself.
"Marriage is autonomous? Why do you have such rebellious thoughts?" The word "rebellious" fully shows the old emperor's displeasure...
Marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times. According to the matchmaker, Gu Qiancheng was challenging the etiquette and law by doing this. Deep down, he was also challenging the imperial power.
Gu Qiancheng secretly took a breath, calmed down his mind, and said in an almost sad tone: "If I go back to the emperor, I don't want to do this, but... my family, the marriage they chose for me is really good.
It’s too high for me, my daughter.”
Gu Qiancheng emphasized the word "high climb". She believed that since the old emperor knew that she had healed Feng Sijin's injury, he would also know that the Feng family had asked for marriage. She was the only one who refused such a marriage at that time.
.
Just as Gu Qiancheng thought, the old emperor also thought about this matter and said approvingly: "You are quite transparent."
Lord Feng wanted to tell the old emperor about the matter of the Feng and Gu families in advance. Lord Feng wanted to tell the old emperor that the reason why the Feng family asked to marry the daughter of the Gu family was not because they wanted to support the fifth prince, but because they wanted to save their lives.
Report.
Of course, Master Feng did not hide the fact from the old emperor that Gu Qiancheng refused such a marriage.
The old emperor would never allow the Feng family to be tied to the Gu family. Even if he favored Concubine Gu again, he would not make fun of Jiangshan Sheji. Gu Qiancheng's refusal was in line with the emperor's wishes.
Just when Gu Qiancheng was wondering what the old emperor meant, after thinking for a while, the old emperor finally relented: "I'm sure!"
With Gu Qiancheng's status, if she rejected the Feng family, who else could she marry?
They were not princesses or princesses, and they needed to get married to appease the ministers. The old emperor had no interest in the marriage of a small prince's daughter.
The old emperor didn't know that it was just a trivial matter to him, but to Gu Qiancheng, it was a life-threatening matter. This time, Gu Qiancheng thanked me sincerely: "My lord, thank you for your kindness, long live long live.
"
With the words of the old emperor, not to mention Concubine Gu, even her biological father and stepmother can no longer interfere with her marriage and marry her to anyone at will.
"It's too early to thank you. If I can't cure your concubine's life, I will still sacrifice your life." It's just an insignificant matter. What the old emperor is more worried about is Concubine Gu's condition...
As it happens, this is what Gu Qiancheng is not worried about.
"I will do my best to save the empress." Gu Qiancheng responded quickly and promptly, fearing that the old emperor would regret it. After regaining consciousness, Old Mrs. Gu knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he did not say a word and just looked at Gu Qiancheng.
Cheng's eyes were a little more inquisitive and thoughtful...
