“She fell asleep.” Gu Chengrui whispered.


“She fell asleep so quickly?” Consort An was shocked when she heard this.


She knew Madam Consort An could only sleep for one to two hours at dawn daily. At other times, she could not fall asleep, no matter how tired she was.


Gu Chengrui nodded and said, “To put it bluntly, it’s because of the illness that prevents her from falling asleep. It’s naturally difficult for her to sleep when it’s uncomfortable.”


Then, he said to Granny Zhang, who had followed him out, “Granny, sorry to trouble you, but can you prepare a stationery set for me?”


“Sure.” Granny Zhang responded and went back into the house to take it out.


Gu Chengrui immediately wrote two prescriptions and handed one to Consort An. “Give Madam this prescription for three days. After three days, change the prescription according to the diagnosis.”


He handed the other one over and said, “This is for bathing. Pour the medicinal herbs into the bathtub and soak in it for 15 minutes at night.


“However, pay attention to not letting Madam catch a cold after taking a bath. Also, she must not drink cold water or eat cold food.”


“1’11 remember it. I’ve really troubled you today. You came here as a guest, but who would have thought you would be coming here for a patient visit?”


“It’s fate that we met, so no worries.”


Consort An smiled and nodded. She turned and said to Mingyu, “Mingyu, bring them to the front to rest. Let your grandmother sleep a little longer.”


“Don’t worry, Imperial Mother.” Mingyu then brought them to a small training ground at King An’s Imperial Residence.


On the way, Mingyu even sent someone to look for King An’s son, Yang Zepeng.


When they arrived at the training ground, Mingyu took out a red-ta.s.selled spear and quickly swung with it twice. She looked at Zhou Ying and asked, “Sister Zhou, what weapon do you like to use?”


“Dagger.”


“Ah, daggers. They are weapons that are strong when closing in.


“Sister Zhou must be good at close combat.” Mingyu commented and looked at Gu Chengrui. “Judging from Lord Gu’s physique, you should know martial arts too. What are you good at?”


“Just like Zhou Ying, a short weapon. To be exact, I’m good at fist techniques.”


As soon as Gu Chengrui finished speaking, Yang Zepeng, the son of King An, walked in dressed as an imperial guard.


He also heard Gu Chengrui’s words and spoke up, “It just so happens that I’m also skilled in fist techniques. Let’s have a spar.”


“My skills are nothing before you.


“Please show mercy, prince.”


“We’ll just spar lightly.” Yang Zepeng stated and led the way to the middle of the small training ground.


The two readied their stances and started sparring.


However, because their movements were too fast, Zhou Ying could not see their movements clearly.


The modern military boxing style combined the strengths of various martial arts with different variations. It was firm and robust, and every move was filled with killing intent.


Therefore, Gu Chengrui gradually gained the upper hand.


Gu Chengrui knew he should not stand out and did not want to expose his trump card.


Therefore, after figuring out Yang Zepeng’s skills, he deliberately revealed a few openings and was soon at a disadvantage. Ultimately, he was defeated by his lack of stamina.


When Yang Zepeng saw him fall, he immediately stopped and pulled him up. “Well done, Brother Gu. 1 can see that you’re someone who practiced martial arts halfway through adulthood, but you’re able to withstand so many moves under my kungfu.”


“It’s mainly because you showed mercy.” Gu Chengrui quickly got up,


Yang Zepeng shook his head. “If it weren’t for your lack of stamina, 1 would have been the one who was knocked down.”


“Stamina is also part of your strength. It seems that 1 have to practice more in the future.”


“You’re right. Every time I lose against my brother, it’s because of his strength and endurance. Otherwise, I’m sure 1 will win.” Mingyu clapped her hands and said..
