Gu Changqing took Gu Yan next door.
Old Chief, who was just about to sleep, was shocked when he saw this scene, "How did this happen? What"s going on?"
Gu Changqing had never encountered Old Chief before, but as he came to Bishui Alley more frequently, he gradually learned of Old Chief’s ident.i.ty.
As for how he became Xiao Liulang"s granduncle, Gu Changqing was unclear for the time being.
He didn"t go out of his way to inquire.
"I"ll explain it later. Is there any available room?" Gu Changqing said.
"Yes, yes!"
The west room was unoccupied.
Old Chief opened the door of the west room and laid out a clean mattress.
Gu Changqing put Gu Yan gently on the bed.
Shortly afterwards, Gu Jiao came over with her small medicine chest.
Inducing vomiting wasn’t suitable with Gu Yan"s current physical condition. She could only give him infusion to promote drug metabolism. However, in this process of metabolism, his organs had to bear a huge burden, which was undoubtedly very dangerous for people with congenital heart disease.
Gu Jiao opened the small medicine chest and administered rehydration fluids on Gu Yan.
Gu Jiao measured Gu Yan"s blood pressure, which was rising abnormally. It should be caused by the drug. If it didn’t come down after a while, she had to use antihypertensive drugs.
Gu Yan had lost consciousness since a while ago, but his hand that grabbed Gu Changqing’s sleeve before he pa.s.sed out still remained grabbing it at this moment. Gu Changqing didn"t take his hand off and simply stayed in front of the bed in silence.
Soon, Gu Yan"s temperature also burned up.
Gu Jiao put an ice pack on his forehead.
Gu Yan"s situation was difficult because he had a heart disease and couldn’t be given medicine indiscriminately. Therefore, Gu Jiao tried to adopt conservative treatment as much as possible, unless it was absolutely necessary to do otherwise.
"How is he…?" Gu Changqing looked at the unconscious Gu Yan and asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
Gu Jiao adjusted the t.i.ter of the infusion bag and replied in a low voice, "It"s hard to say yet."
Don"t look at the fact that he had taken only one or two knockout drugs. In fact, that was already too deadly for him. Fortunately, he had been taking anti-heart failure medicine all this year, otherwise he would have been unable to survive it.
When she thought of this, Gu Jiao remembered one thing.
She could dream of Xiao Liulang and Gu Changqing’s accidents, but why couldn’t she dream of Gu Yan’s?
Although she wasn’t sure if her dream could show every accident that Gu Changqing and Xiao Liulang might encounter in advance, at least she dreamt of it.
But she never dreamt once of Gu Yan.
It couldn’t be that Gu Yan wasn’t close enough to her. She and Gu Yan were twins, which was the closest and most unbreakable relationship in the world.
Was it precisely because they were too close?
Another thing she realized was that she could not foresee her own danger. It was the case when the music house collapsed, or the time she was crushed under the roof with Grandaunt.
She was unable to predict her own fate. Could it be because Gu Yan and her were twins that she couldn’t predict Gu Yan"s fate either?
If that was the case, Gu Yan"s dark guards must be recalled to the capital.
……
Meanwhile, after being beaten by Gu Changqing, Tang Ming lost the mood to have fun and rode his horse back to Tang Residence.
The Tang Residence was no longer just a great general’s residence, but a supreme commander’s residence. Its gates were now more imposing and magnificent.
Standing in front of two majestic stone lions, Tang Ming straightened his clothes, smoothed out his sleeves and made sure that no traces of mischief could be seen on his body before stepping into the estate.
Tang Yueshan had just finished practicing swordsmanship in the yard when a servant handed him a towel. He took it and wiped his sweat, asking with a pant, "is Ming’er back yet?"
The servant answered. "Responding to my Lord, young lord isn’t back yet. Maybe he was delayed by an official business. Recently, there are too many people visiting the estate. My Lord refuses to see them, so wouldn’t they find the young lord instead?"
There were two branches in the Tang family. Tang Yueshan belonged to the second branch while there were his older brother and sister-in-law in the first branch. Tang Ming was the eldest son of the first branch.
Tang Yueshan"s older brother was paralyzed for a long time, but Tang Yueshan didn"t take over the property of the first branch and still let his older brother be the head of the Tang Family.
His Supreme Commander Estate was just next door to the Tang Family, and the two families were still together in the eyes of outsiders.
Tang Yueshan had no sons, only a few daughters. Everyone in the estate knew that Tang Yueshan favored this nephew very much. In the future, Tang Ming would most likely inherit not only the property of the first branch, but also the power held in Tang Yueshan’s hand.
The servants of the Supreme Commander Estate had all regarded Tang Ming as their young lord. Because Tang Ming"s biological father was paralyzed in bed and was unable to look after him, he asked his younger brother to take care of him in his stead.
Tang Ming had admired his uncle since childhood, and he was happy to live here with Tang Yueshan.
Speak of the devil and the devil would come.
As soon as Tang Yueshan wiped his sweat dry, he saw Tang Ming coming with a smile on his face, "Uncle! This nephew is back!"
A trace of joy immediately appeared on Tang Yueshan"s solemn face, "Why are you so late? Is there too much official business to do in the military camp?"
Tang Ming said with a smile, "What official business is there for me to do? Didn"t uncle let me establish some personal connection with those officials? I actually took my leave early, but came back late because I bought uncle’s favorite spicy snails."
As he spoke, he took out the food box hidden behind him, "Uncle, look. Isn’t it the one from the restaurant you often go to?"
As soon as Tang Yueshan heard this, his heart overflowed with joy. He opened the food box and smelled it, and said with satisfaction, "Yes, this is the fragrance!"
The servant at the side smiled and said, "It’s us that didn’t expect the young lord to be so filial to my Lord."
Tang Yueshan smiled joyfully.
Snails were the fattest and most fleshy after autumn. Although it wasn’t the best time to eat snail meat, that restaurant’s spicy snail dish was really delicious. Furthermore, Tang Ming"s kind intentions were the most important to him.
"You haven’t eaten yet, have you?" Tang Yueshan looked at Tang Ming and asked.
"No." Tang Ming shook his head.
"Have someone set the table." Tang Yueshan told the servant.
"Yes." The servant went quickly.
The weather was getting a little hot, so the food was placed in the yard.
Tang Yueshan didn’t often eat at home, and he wouldn’t call for his daughters when he ate. This just showed how much he doted on Tang Ming. Tang Ming not only often ate at the same table with him, but he could also freely enter and leave his courtyard. Tang Yueshan never got angry at him either when he touched his belongings.
"The bamboo shoots made in the kitchen today are really tender." Tang Ming said.
"Eat more." Tang Yueshan gave Tang Ming a lot of dishes.
Tang Ming buried himself in the meal.
Seeing him eating heartily, Tang Yueshan was very satisfied and unconsciously showed a hint of spoiling, "After the meal, pay your parents a greeting, and then hurry back to rest. There will be a compet.i.tion in the military camp tomorrow, don"t forget."
Tang Ming obediently smiled, "I didn"t forget, uncle, don"t worry!"
Tang Yueshan naturally had confidence in Tang Ming. After all, he was personally brought up by him. He was intelligent, had a good const.i.tution, was resilient, and was willing to endure hardships.
Learning martial arts was a boring and painful task, but Tang Ming persevered without giving up. Not only that, Tang Ming was also familiar with the art of war and knew how to utilize the soldiers.
Tang Yueshan had high expectations for Tang Ming.
Tang Yueshan added, "Also, it"s about time you learn how to restrain your temper. Stop fighting with people in the military camp all the time."
Tang Ming still had an obedient smile as he responded, "I know, uncle. I just can"t stand their laziness. I will pay attention to it in the future. If they make mistakes again, I"ll talk to them nicely!"
"That"s right." Tang Yueshan was very satisfied.
Tang Ming"s temperament was a bit spoiled, but who didn’t go through a youthful and hot-blooded phase? When he was young, he was also a troublemaker in the military camp.
The fact that Tang Ming was still willing to correct his mistakes was a good thing.
After the pair of uncle and nephew finished their meal, Tang Ming made a trip to the first branch to pay his parents a greeting.
This was something Tang Yueshan asked Tang Ming to do every day. He told him to be filial to his parents and not to disrespect his father just because he was paralyzed in bed.
Only after Tang Ming returned to his own room did he shed all his disguises.
He sat in a chair, lifted his clothes, and saw the bruise on his abdomen from Gu Changqing’s kick. He was so enraged that his teeth rattled!
Then he thought of Gu Yan and felt some regrets.
His eyes narrowed as he thought back.
Such a delectable, beautiful youth, his mouth almost tasted him. What a pity.
……
Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing stayed with Gu Yan all night.
His condition turned worse once in the middle of the night, so Gu Jiao gave him medicine.
As dawn approached, his temperature returned to normal, but he still hadn’t regained consciousness.
Gu Jiao glanced at the thin streak of light on the horizon, then looked at Gu Changqing who wore a cold expression all night, and said, "His present condition is better than last night. His life won"t be in danger for the time being. Go and take a rest. I"ll take care of him here."
Gu Changqing stiffened before he stood up. He looked at Gu Yan and there was still reluctance in his eyes as he said, "Alright, I"ll come back later."
He walked to the door and was about to cross the threshold when he stopped and turned back, his gaze falling on Gu Yan"s face again, "He…"
"What"s wrong?" Gu Jiao asked.
Gu Changqing shook his head, "Forget it, it"s nothing."
If he heard it, he heard it.
It didn’t matter anymore. What mattered more was Tang Ming. He wanted Tang Ming dead! Raz P."s Thoughts
