Chapter 52: The medicine is no longer bitter and the diamond shines brighter

  Innumerable precious antiques fell from the shelves, all of which she had collected one by one, and it was unknown how much money had been spent to collect them. Now, in just an instant, they all fell to the ground and shattered into powder.

  She didn't even have time to say a word before she fainted.

  "Madam!" Minister Gu hastily called for someone, the letter in the study had already been torn away by half which was enough to make him anxious, unexpectedly there was trouble on this side as well, he must have that scoundrel caught!

  "Come on, pass on my orders, everyone in the mansion go out and catch people! Once caught, beat them half to death for me first!"

  "Yes!" The household servants responded and quickly moved to chase after the man in black.

  Yuwen Chang had left the mansion early, and these servants were just pretending to be busy by searching around the mansion, so as not to get caught in the wrath of the Grand Councilor.

  The prime minister ordered the maid to take care of his wife and he himself took the butler and went out.

  Hearing that almost everyone outside had left, Gu Zhaobei put on his mask and applied the anesthetic to the bottom of the bed.

  "Madam will surely faint again when she wakes up." The maid looked at the fragments on the ground and said, "They were all hers, now not a single piece is left. What a pity, several hundred taels of silver worth of things, shattered into useless pieces."

  "Yes, normally we're not allowed to touch them. Last time when Shui Xian came, she almost broke one and the mistress directly chased her out of the house."

  As they spoke, the two little maids slowly felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a blackness before their eyes.

  Gu Chaobei emerged from under the bed, took out a black cloak, wrapped it around Madame Gu, covered her head, and carried her on his back as he rushed outside.

  The house slaves in the courtyard were searching everywhere for the man in black when suddenly a black figure fell from the sky.

  "The man in black has appeared! Catch him!" The timid house servant didn't see anything clearly, but instinctively rushed forward and pinned the man in black to the ground, beating him wildly according to the prime minister's orders.

  "Found it!" The family slaves who wanted to make a name for themselves all rushed over, regardless of anything, and followed suit, trampling on that black thing.

  Mrs. Gu was suddenly awakened by being trampled, let out a scream, and only then did everyone react to the fact that something was wrong. Someone plucked up the courage to go forward and remove the hood from her head, and upon seeing Mrs. Gu's pale purple face, they retreated three steps in fright.

  "Oh no----"

  The yard was in a mess, Gu Zhaobei hid on the big tree at one side, looked down and smiled slightly, only then did he truly let go of his anger, turned around and flashed towards the North Yard.

  To hell with reason and principle, he hit his swallow, so I'll hit him back. He doesn't deign to fight women, but there's a way to vent his anger. Bloody battle

  It's just so capricious.

  Returned to the main house and quickly changed into a new set of clothes. Just came out and saw Bao Shan holding medicine rushing in.

  "I'll come." Gu Zhaobei handed over the medicine bowl with one hand.

  Bao Shan said: "Fourth Master is back? Miss has a high fever, Master's return is just in time, I'll continue to watch the kitchen."

  Does he have a high fever? Gu Zhaobei nodded, holding the medicine and hurriedly walked towards the inner room. He had been healthy since childhood, so he didn't know what it was like to be ill, but looking at Yan'er's furrowed brow on the bed, he knew it wasn't good.

  "Grandfather." Jiang Shi was still sitting on one side, watching him bring in the medicine with a surprised expression: "Why are you personally bringing the medicine?"

  "It doesn't matter, you go back and rest first, I'll take care of Yan'er." Gu Zhaobei put the medicine aside and picked up Shen Guiyan from the bed.

  Shen Guiyan was half asleep and half awake, and his rough movements made her face pale with pain. She couldn't help but open her eyes and say weakly: "Master, be gentle."

  Gu Zhaobei hadn't taken care of anyone before, he grumbled and slowed down his movements, letting her lean on his shoulder, then gently brought the medicine over.

  "Let me feed him instead?"

  "It's fine." Gu Zhaobei didn't look at her and simply said, "You go back first."

  Jiang was somewhat unwilling, but Young Madam had suffered a great calamity this time, and she couldn't bear to fight for anything else, so she could only obey and withdraw.

  Just as I was leaving, I couldn't help but turn back and take a glance, only to see Gu Zhaobei's reddened ears.

  Her fingers clenched tightly, Jiang's eyes drooped, and she closed the door.

  A spoonful of medicine was forced into her mouth, causing Shen Guiyan to cough nonstop. Gu Zhaobei put her down somewhat flusteredly and pursed his lips, saying, "Why didn't you drink it properly?"

  Is it you who didn't feed him well, old man? Shen Guiyan was both laughing and crying, thinking that this person's nature was romantic, at least he should understand women and be considerate, but who knew he couldn't even feed medicine.

  "I'll go myself." Shen Guiyan said hoarsely.

  "You're still coming yourself, aren't I abusing you?" Gu Zhaobei curled his lips and stirred the medicine in the bowl. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration: "I know, just lie down properly and lift your head up."

  Shen Guiyan looked at him with a puzzled expression, but based on her principle of believing in him, she still lifted her head as he said.

  Gu Zhaobei himself took a sip of the medicine, and suddenly kissed her lips, transferring the medicinal properties into her mouth. The Last Exorcist: Ghost School

  She opened her eyes wide and stared at him, looking a bit silly.

  "Will that stop you from coughing?" Gu Zhaobei rubbed her chin with a rascal expression: "Come on, the medicine isn't bitter anymore."

  Soft lips carried the taste of bitter medicine, still clearly bitter. Shen Guiyan wanted to laugh a little, but her face turned red all over. The thing in her heart jumped up again without being obedient.

  Knock...knock...

  She swallowed the last mouthful of the medicine he had brought over, Shen Guiyan lowered her eyelids and thought to turn away, but was pinched on the chin by this rascal, whose unscrupulous tongue stretched in again, wrapping around hers, taking away even the last hint of bitterness.

  The room was quiet, and her back still ached from time to time. But looking into his eyes, Shen Guiyan's gaze became somewhat scattered.

  This person is really gentle.

  "Alright." It wasn't until much later that Gu Zhaobei finally let her go, himself slightly out of breath, and awkwardly looked away, saying: "I'm still very good at taking care of people."

  "Uh-huh." Shen Guiyan buried her head in the pillow again: "Thanks for your hard work."

  "It's not hard work." Gu Zhaobei blushed with red ears, but his face smiled like a rogue: "Can still have another bowl."

  She lightly spat at him and Shen Guiyan said in a low voice, "Master should also think about the proper matter, isn't there a time limit for the case of the palace assassin?"

  "Hmm, but I'm lazy and don't want to check." Gu Zhaobei looked away, somewhat nonchalantly saying: "Anyway, whether or not I become an official, I don't care."

  "How can you not care? The Prime Minister has been delighted for several days because of your ability to serve as the Deputy Minister of Justice. The Emperor also has expectations of you, and people all over the world are waiting for you to produce a result, how can you not investigate?"

  Guo Zhaobei sighed: "It's not good to investigate either. The results obtained must be unspeakable, and it's better not to investigate."

  The mastermind behind the scenes must be the empress, but who dares to speak out? If he speaks out, before the emperor rewards him, he will likely lose his head.

  "When a car reaches the foot of a mountain, there must be a road." Shen Guiyan's voice became softer: "In short, we have to walk to the foot of the mountain first and take a look. Stopping halfway is not an achievement..."

  Gu Zhāo turned his head to glance at her, the beauty's face was flushed with a lovely red color. If she were to scold him a bit less, it would be even more attractive.

  He leaned in a bit closer to her, and Gu Zhaobei really wanted to take advantage of the moment when she closed her eyes to kiss her. But as soon as he got close, he realized something was off.

  Is her breath also too hot? Brocade rivers and mountains change their colors - a stunningly beautiful noble lady.

  He reached out and touched her forehead, feeling a scorching heat. Gu Zhaobei's eyebrows furrowed deeply as he hastily got up to go call the doctor.

  Shen Guiyan's high fever this time came on fiercely, and it didn't subside for the whole night. However, Madame Guo in the mansion was said to have been beaten by the house servants until she was covered in bruises, and the doctor dared not leave the main courtyard. Guo Zhaobei had no choice but to personally go out of the mansion to invite the doctor.

  "What's wrong with the swallow?" Halfway through, he ran into the one person he least wanted to see - Gu Zhaodong. Gu Zhaobei said gruffly, "You go take a look at your mother first, don't worry about my wife."

  Gu Zhaodong furrowed his brow, and overnight, his beard had grown out quite a bit. According to the news from Gu Furen's side, she was bedridden for half a month, while Yan'er said she had a persistent high fever; his heart felt like it was being roasted over an open flame, making him feel miserable to death.

  Gu Zhaobei hastily walked away, but after some thought, he turned around and continued walking towards the North Courtyard.

  He can't let go of Yan'er, and now he has written a book about their separation because of her. What's more, she doesn't even want to see her own mother. He feels that he has been so devoted to her, why won't Yan'er forgive him?

  "Master." Bao Shan's face fell as soon as he saw Gu Zhaodong: "My young mistress is ill and cannot receive guests."

  One side's Feng Xiao hastily came over and pushed Bao Shan, saying: "Good sister, my young master is worried that your young lady still hasn't slept until now, so just let him go take a look."

  "How can this be?" Bao Shan frowned and said: "The rules cannot be broken, my young lady is like this now because of who? Since it's already like this, what are you pretending to be good people for? Hurry up and leave, otherwise I'll tell the madam."

  "Goodbye, goodbye." Feng Xiao pulled Bao Shan and stuffed her favorite snacks, adding some silver fragments: "Sister, let's just guard the door, Young Master can't do anything, he just wants to take a look. Originally their feelings were so good, sister isn't unaware of that."

  With a wave of his fan, he swept everything aside and said coldly: "The past is the past, now is now. Young Master cannot enter here."

  Gu Zhaodong was getting impatient, and he gave Fengxiao a signal. Fengxiao hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to snatch the treasure fan from her, and then pretended to say to her: "Sister, since you agree, let's go and guard it on the side."

  Saying so, he took Baochai away with him to one side.

  Gu Zhaodong stepped into the house, and there were still some young maidservants fetching water and keeping watch. Seeing that Bao Yu hadn't stopped the young master, these maidservants didn't say much either, putting down their things and standing in the outer room.

  "Yan Er?" Gu Chao Dong called out softly.

  On the half-curtained bed, Shen Guiyan was still unconscious.

  Gu Zhaodong glanced at the medicine bowl beside her, let out a soft sigh, and closed one of the windows for her. He then turned to instruct the maid: "It's so cold in the room, how can the young mistress be sweating? Go get some charcoal fire."
