The little village girl dressed as a disaster star led the whole village astray

Chapter 158 No problem

Cui Mingtao was taking the patient's pulse to diagnose the disease. As he was diagnosing, his brows slightly frowned and he looked at Gu Jingzhi with some confusion.

The expression on his face was seen clearly by the nervous Emperor Jian'an, who thought he had diagnosed some difficult problem.

Emperor Jian'an: "Doctor Cui, how is it?"

Cui Mingtao withdrew his hand from Gu Jingzhi's wrist and put the pulse pillow into the medicine box.

Cui Mingtao: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with General Gu's health."

"No problem?" Emperor Jian'an raised his eyebrows. Obviously, this answer was not within his expectations.

People who eat all kinds of grains will inevitably get sick. Ordinary people have problems of one kind or another. Jingzhi has suffered many injuries while fighting at the border. For example, the last time, Gu Changfeng wrote to him saying that he was shot in the heart and almost died.

How could such a serious injury heal so quickly?

Emperor Jian'an was not the only one who thought so. This was exactly what Cui Mingtao was wondering about just now. He also knew that Young General Gu had been shot in the heart by an arrow. It was such a serious injury, and even if Young General Gu was young and strong with good recovery ability, it would be impossible for him to recover so quickly.

"There is indeed nothing wrong. Can I ask General Gu who took care of your body and how did you do it?"

Cui Mingtao was very curious. He guessed that the person who was taking care of Gu Jingzhi's health should be the famous doctor who developed anti-inflammatory and hemostatic drugs and was hiding behind the Zhenbei Army.

Unlike Cui Mingtao, Emperor Jian'an knew the identity of "that famous doctor".

As soon as Cui Mingtao finished speaking, Emperor Jian'an looked at Gu Jingzhi with an eye that showed he was waiting for a good show. He wanted to hear how he was going to answer. There was no lack of mockery in his eyes. He wanted to see how this brat was going to explain.

Gu Jingzhi recalled the time when he was at the border and the pills Li Xi had given him on the way here, and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes.

"Thank you, Doctor Cui. Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question. The doctor who treated me did not want to reveal his identity."

Cui Mingtao had a lost look in his eyes, but he also understood that some people were just so indifferent to fame and fortune.

Emperor Jian'an glanced at Gu Jingzhi and laughed, this kid.

Jian took a look at the expression on His Majesty's face and walked to Cui Mingtao's side. "Doctor Cui, I will take you out."

"Your Majesty, I take my leave."

After Cui Mingtao left, Emperor Jian'an half leaned on the soft pillow beside him and looked at Gu Jingzhi, "Where's that girl? Why didn't you bring her in?"

"She's shy."

Emperor Jian’an: “…”

"Why don't I believe what you said?" Don't think he doesn't know what that girl did at the border. She dared to disembowel people and yet she didn't dare to see him.

If there really was a girl who was afraid of him when she saw him, he would be interested in her.

"Your Majesty, since you know it, why are you still asking?"

Emperor Jian’an: “…”

"You little brat, that's how you talk to me."

"Your Majesty, this narrow-minded character really needs to be changed."

Emperor Jian'an glanced at him. Now he was the only one who dared to talk to him like this.

"Really interested?"

"Well, I won't marry anyone but her."

Before he met Li Xi, he had never thought about getting married. After meeting Li Xi, he must have her for the rest of his life.

"Then you should bring her to the palace for me to see.

There are so many ladies in the capital, but you don't like any of them. I'm curious about how special you are to have a girl like this."

Two years ago, Emperor Jian'an began to worry about Gu Jingzhi's marriage. He had people make a picture album and send it to him of all the famous noble ladies in Dayan, both in the capital and in the south of the Yangtze River. He wanted him to find one he liked and settle down as soon as possible. After all, he was not young anymore.

Get married and start a career. It is said that one should get married first and then start a career. His career is almost complete, and it is time for this family to be established as well.

But the booklet was delivered, but he returned it intact, with eight words on it: How can I have a home when the Huns are not yet destroyed?

What else can he say? He can only urge him every time he sees him.

Now that he has found the girl of his dreams, marriage can be put on the agenda.

"Since you have already determined that she is the one, then get engaged as soon as possible. I will ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to choose an auspicious date for you two to get married, and then choose a suitable day for the wedding.

The Huns suffered heavy losses in the previous war and they are unlikely to launch another war in the short term. Your parents have to come back for your marriage. It just so happens that I haven't seen your father for a long time.

I will write to them later and ask them to come back to Beijing to help plan your marriage." Emperor Jian'an clapped his hands excitedly.

"Your Majesty, there is no rush to get married. We have no plans to get married in the near future."

Gu Jingzhi did want to get married, but whether or not to get married was not up to him. Obviously, he had a very accurate understanding of his own position.

"What! What did you say?

Didn’t you say you would marry no one else but her?

Why don't you have any plans to get married now?"

Emperor Jian'an was confused by what he said, but he quickly reacted and looked at Gu Jingzhi with suspicion, "Could it be that Li Xi disagrees?"

Gu Jingzhi didn't say anything, and Emperor Jian'an knew that he had guessed right.

He suddenly remembered an outrageous rumor he had heard about Jingzhi before. The rumor said that Jingzhi fell in love with a country girl, who refused to give in, so he took her by force and imprisoned her by his side.

When he heard the news, he never doubted Jingzhi at all. Jingzhi was a child he had watched grow up, and he knew Jingzhi best what kind of person he was.

But now he suddenly had some doubts.

He had already sent people to investigate Li Xi's identity. She was indeed a country girl, but a country girl with extraordinary talent.

Emperor Jian'an was never a person who paid attention to one's background. He valued a person's ability more than his identity. Obviously, Li Xi was such a person.

"Could it be that the rumors are true?" He suddenly looked at Gu Jingzhi with some suspicion. He was still handsome and clear-headed.

Gu Jingzhi frowned, "What rumor?"

Emperor Jian'an did not answer his question, but asked him, "So, people look down on you?"

Gu Jingzhi: "...Your Majesty, please don't speculate. We have a good relationship, but we don't plan to get married in the short term. We both prefer to enjoy our current life as two people."

In fact, they were only one ceremony away from getting married. After all, except for the last step, they had done everything they could.

"Don't explain. I really didn't expect that you would be disliked by a woman. I am even more curious about this Li Xi.

Bring her to the palace tomorrow. I want to take a good look at her and see what kind of woman she is that can make you so obsessed with her."

Li Xi came to Beijing to see the emperor. Gu Jingzhi did not refuse and said, "Bring her to see you tomorrow."
