Chapter 3478 Extra Kochu 4

When the emperor saw the queen, he subconsciously threw the melon in front of Zhou Man. Zhou Man raised his head in a daze, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, stood up and saluted, and asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to eat half a melon together?"

The queen glanced at what was left on the plate, annoyed and funny, "Forget it, I'm afraid there's not enough for you to eat."

Seeing that the queen didn't seem to mind, the emperor immediately took another piece of melon, eating it until his hands were covered with juice, the emperor frowned, Zhou Man sighed when he saw it, and handed him a handkerchief.

The emperor took it with his hand, wiped it and looked at the handkerchief, narrowing his eyes slightly, "This handkerchief looks like I often use it."

Zhou Man glanced at it and said, "Oh, Lord Gu gave it to me last night, but I haven't used it, it's clean."

The emperor thought of Gu Zhong, his heart softened, and he asked, "How is his injury?"

Zhou Man sighed, "Fortunately, although it's all whip wounds, it should be fine in a few days."

The emperor then said to the empress: "When Gu Zhong recovers, let him come back to my side."

He said: "I'm still used to him, others are not comfortable with it."

The queen glanced at Zhou Man and responded with a smile.

The emperor ate his favorite melon on this scorching day, and was satisfied. After sitting for a while, he felt exhausted, so he went back to the house to rest.

Zhou Man gave him an injection, and changed a new prescription for him by the way.

After the emperor ate it, he praised: "This prescription is better than the previous one."

The queen was curious, "Is it effective just after eating?"

The emperor said: "It's not very bitter, but also a little sweet and sour. It feels good to drink."

Queen: ...

Zhou Man said complacently: "I added a little more licorice for you, and adjusted the whole prescription for this."

The emperor was very satisfied, "Take this medicine at night."

Zhou Man nodded, "Look at the effect, if there is no bad effect, we can use it for a few days to improve your appetite."

The queen watched them silently.

Although the emperor was ill, there were still special people around to listen to the order, so within half a day, everyone inside and outside the palace knew that Gu Zhong was going back to Tai Chi Hall after he recovered from his injury.

Jia Qi from Dali Temple focused her eyes and couldn't help frowning, "How can Gu Zhong's injury heal so quickly?"

He knew what he did, Gu Zhong's injury, he would not get out of bed if he didn't lie on the bed for a month, not to mention the lack of doctors and medicines in the epidemic prevention center, it is not impossible for him to die accidentally.

His subordinates whispered: "I heard that Mr. Zhou from the Imperial Medical Office did not leave the palace last night, but went to the epidemic prevention station."

Jia Qi's face changed, and his face was very ugly.

He had already offended Gu Zhong, so he naturally hoped that he would never succeed, Zhou Man intervening at this time would be like cutting off his future.

Jia Qi was not worried, but he was lower than Zhou Man both in terms of official position and status, so he could only endure it silently, "I never thought Mr. Zhou would be so partial to an eunuch."

The subordinates did not speak.

Gu Cai also heard the news when he went to the kitchen to get food. He trotted back with the food box and saw Gu Ji standing by the bed as soon as he entered the door.

Gu Cai paused, and saluted honestly, "Master Gu."

Gu Ji laughed and said, "What's the name of the waiter? If we haven't seen each other for two days, the younger brother will be separated from me?"

Gu Cai couldn't help looking at Gu Zhong.

Gu Zhong smiled at him, "Why don't you make tea for your brother?"

Gu Cai hurriedly put down the food box, called his senior brother, and went to make tea.

After Gu Ji left, Gu Cai said: "Godfather, Yuqian came to talk and said that I will go back to serve you when you are well."

Gu Zhong nodded slightly, "Your senior brother came here to talk about this matter, and also said that Master Zhou begged for it. I will return to Yuqian in a few days."

When Gu Cai heard this, he hesitated and said, "But godfather, your injuries..."

Gu Zhong shook his head with a smile and said: "As long as I can go to the ground, it's fine. If I lie down all the time, it doesn't matter when our father and son will die. It's better to go to the imperial court, and the pain is only temporary."

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Since Yuqian has something to say, then we've made it through. Find a time to leave the palace and send a plate of gold and silver to Jishitang in my house."

"The shopkeeper of Hejishitang said that we asked Master Zhou to make wound medicine with a lot of money." Gu Zhong said, "Whether I can get out of bed and serve in front of the imperial court depends on Master Zhou's ability."

He understands his body, it is difficult for Gu Zhong to even get out of bed now, let alone serving in front of the imperial court.

But since Zhou Man dared to say that in front of the imperial court, he obviously had the ability to get him to the imperial front within a few days.

Gu Cai hurriedly responded.

Sure enough, as soon as the imperial decree came out, the Epidemic Prevention Center changed Gu Zhong to a sunny and spacious room. Not only was the food timely and sufficient, but hot water was also available at any time. Although he had not returned to his residence, But this kind of treatment is also very good.

Gu Cai found an opportunity to leave the palace in the afternoon.

Gu Zhong bought a house outside, which he used for his retirement, and inside it were the gold and silver property he had received over the years.

He bought two servants to guard the courtyard, Gu Zhong recognized his godson, and was also the young master in the eyes of the servants, so he moved out a plate of gold from the storeroom smoothly.

He carried it in his arms and went to Jishitang.

Old Zheng, the treasurer of Jishitang, didn't know that the palace had experienced a lot of wind and rain in the past two days. Seeing that someone from the palace wanted to buy medicine from Zhou Man, he asked the other party's name and immediately agreed.

Sometimes people in the palace can't get medicine directly from the imperial hospital, so they will buy it from the pharmacy outside, and Zhou Man's medicine is the most respected, such a person who directly gives a plate of gold, I'm afraid it's not just for medicine.

So the shopkeeper Lao Zheng didn't say anything dead, but just accepted the money, saying that he would hand it over on his behalf, and if it didn't work out, he would just return the money.

So Zhou Man got into Bai Shan's carriage, and when she was falling asleep in his arms, the carriage was stopped by Ji Shitang's people.

Zhou Man came to his senses and quickly asked, "Is it a critical patient?"

"No," said the clerk of Jishitang with a smile, "it's our shopkeeper who has something to discuss with Mr. Zhou."

Generally, except for critical patients, shopkeeper Lao Zheng seldom came to stop Zhou Man.

Zhou Man and Bai Shan looked at each other, and let Che go to Jishitang first.

When he saw a plate of gold pushed up by old Zheng shopkeeper in Jishi Hall, Zhou Man couldn't help reaching out to touch it, "Is it too much?"

It was so much that she couldn't bear to refuse it, and really wanted to give Gu Zhong some "special medicine".

Seeing her appearance as a money fanatic, Bai Shan couldn't help laughing and said: "If you like it, accept it. Master Gu has been with His Majesty all his life, and I think he must also want to be by His Majesty's side in the end."

When the new emperor came to the throne, whether Gu Zhong was with the emperor or in the epidemic prevention center was of great significance.

For the former, he can still work hard to get out of the palace and enjoy the things he arranged for the first half of his life; for the latter, he may need to die in the palace, even though he has accumulated a lot of property, has no power, no power, and is old and frail. In a weak state, no amount of money would be enough for this gold-swallowing beast like the imperial palace.

And as long as he is in the palace, he is a servant serving others, and life and death are in the hands of others, how can life be better?

Seeing that Zhou Man liked gold so much, Bai Shan gave her a push, "Speaking of which, Mr. Gu has always taken good care of us."

See you tomorrow
