Chapter 8: Old court case of gold, Part 2 of 4
(Translation credits: Silhoutte)
Gu Yun scowled and thought to herself, what? It’s not over yet? Without any hesitation in her footsteps, she headed towards the bed and laid down on it. Not a moment too soon as the bedroom door crashed open with a bang!
“Quick, examine her and see what’s wrong with her?” Su Yu’s voice thundered in.
Soon, one hand rested on Gu Yun’s wrist, for a long time, the doctor did not speak, his wrinkled brow tightened more, Su Yu could not help but asked: “How is she?”
The puzzled doctor asked: “How long had Madam been sleeping?”
“She has been for out two days, with nary a drop of water in between.” That was precisely why he was anxious!
The doctor slowly removed his hand, bowed and said: “Madam’s pulse rates are strong and her condition did not seem to be of a person who had been without water for two days. This disease is somewhat strange, I can’t give you a diagnosis, let me look this up in detail.” Such an illness, he really has not encountered yet.
Gu Yun secretly smiled as she, too, did not want to have a strong pulse, but just now she has to run quickly to the bed, thus it was difficult to control.
After hearing his words, Su Yu got angry again, “Look up, my foot, by the time you found out the condition, she would have starved to death! Get out!”
The doctor was frightened and quickly backed out, he could not afford to offend anyone from the General Manor.
Indoor all lapsed into silence once again, Su Yu walked to the bed, watching the sunlight through the window which illuminated her face. She looked as if sleeping, with her long eyelashes fanning down, giving her a very cute and adorable appearance. However, Su Yu did not gain any comfort from this, he didn’t know if it was pain or anger he felt in his heart hence he struck a heavy blow on the bedstead which caused Gu Yun to feel the bed swaying violently for a moment.
What did this brat want?!
“When I am really sick, and the doctors you send for can’t heal me then you have to take me to the Prime Minister’s Estate and find my sister else I would not survive.”
Her words of that day, though sounded as if a joke, still echoed in his mind, Su Yu was startled. Right, her sister! If she can cure Qing Mo, then he’ll take her to her sister now!
Su Yu shouted to the soldiers at the front door: “Come, go get me a palanquin, hurry.”
Palanquin?! Gu Yun was delighted, Qing, wait for me!
Having been carried a long while, they finally reached a regal residence. Lying in the carriage, Gu Yun did not peer out, she only heard Su Yu and a cold male voice exchanged some words. The man then brought them to one side of the reception hall to rest.
After a while, a person came in.
“Prime Minister Lou.” Su Yu’s ever arrogant tone had a touch of reverence.
“General Su.” His gentle voice seemed like a light breeze, even just listening to the sound of it is fascinating.
Gu Yun was a bit curious, how strange to have a man with such a soft and gentle voice. Opening her eyes slightly, she only saw a tall figure pa.s.sed by her side but didn’t manage to see his appearance, however from his easy and graceful movements, it reflected this man’s bearing and manners.
“General Su do not worry too much, Ling Er will come over immediately.”
Naturally one never tires of hearing such a soft and gentle voice, however the words “Ling Er” gave Gu Yun goose b.u.mps.
She was inwardly cringing when, the slightly surprised voice of Su Yu rang out again: “Are you Qing Feng?”
Gu Yun suddenly perked up as a slender woman entered into the reception hall at the moment, is it Qing? It is difficult to see the woman’s face, through the veil but that cool and aloof demeanor is similar in temperament to Qing.
The woman strode to the palanquin and looked but did not speak, then a gentle voice cautiously asked: “How? Do you need to send for the imperial physician to have a look?”
“Not yet, first carry her into my room, prepare the silver needles (fine needles used for acupuncture), if this can’t help then it is still not too late to send for the imperial physician. Gu Yun surmised that this person should be Qing because the real Qing Feng would know that her sister, Qing Mo, was rarely sick!
Once Su Yu has gently nodded, four orderlies lifted the stretcher and walked towards Star Plucked Pavilion. Gu Yun was placed on the ground, the woman who was standing with her back to the screen said: “General Su Yu, acupuncture is not something that can be completed in a short while. It is better if you go back first to the Manor. When she wakes up, I’ll send someone to send her back.”
“It is no trouble, you start the treatment, I’ll wait outside.” Su Yu’s firm voice can be heard clearly.
The woman coldly replied: “As you wish.”
Soon, the door was slammed shut.
Although Gu Yun was certain that this woman is Qing, but she still remained as before, no words or movement, the woman held the silver needles in her hands for a long while whilst staring at Gu Yun without making a move.
After a while, the woman suddenly leaned over Gu Yun’s body gently and whispered in her ear: “Yun, wake up otherwise I will certainly immediately insert the needles.”
She called her Yun! It’s really Qing!
