2200 Sick

The child next to him didn't speak, but looked at his master distressedly, then took out a clean white handkerchief and handed it to the man beside him.

The man didn't answer. His eyes were silently staring at the bottomless abyss. There was endless loneliness in his eyes, but there was a trace of firm hope.

That old bald donkey, it's time to go back to Beijing!

"The girl is still asleep. She had a nightmare last night. The people outside let them wait quietly and don't disturb the girl!"

Ah Zuo's voice was heard from outside. Gu Xiaowan had woken up a long time ago, but she felt dizzy and sore, so she didn't get up. Now that she heard this voice, she slowly supported herself: "Who coming?"

The door opened with a "creak", Ah Zuo walked in, and saw the girl's head was black and blue, and his heart ached: "Why don't you sleep a little longer, girl?"

"Who's here outside?" I didn't sleep well last night, and now I feel some brain pain, Gu Xiaowan pressed her temples, her voice was weak.

"It's Liang Shouyi's family."

When she heard that this family had come, Gu Xiaowan frowned again: "What are they here for?"

Ah Zuo hesitated to speak, afraid that the people outside would make the girl worry again. Gu Xiaowan glanced at her, although her eyes were indifferent, there was a kind of courage that could not be rejected.

Ah Zuo had no choice but to say, "They were yelling at the door, asking the girl to give them money."

Ah Zuo looked a little annoyed.

"Give money?" Gu Xiaowan didn't understand, and asked again: "What money do you want to give them?"

"They said that they did the girl such a big favor. They said that they offended the Gu family and had no one to help. Now in the capital, they can only count on the girl and ask the girl to give them a little more money." Thinking of it Zuo felt a little nauseous at their shameless expressions.

"Didn't you give them a thousand taels of silver to start some business? They also gave them a house to live in peace. How long have you come to ask for money?"

Ah Zuo said: "It is said that there are too many places to spend money in the capital, and they have spent all the money, and now they even have no money for food!"

Gu Xiaowan sneered: "Do you eat shark's fin and bird's nest every day? It's so expensive...cough cough..."

Gu Xiaowan didn't finish her sentence, she coughed violently, Ah Zuo hurried over to pat her on the back.

She waved her hand, and Ah Zuo had no choice but to stand aside, looking at her anxiously.

Gu Xiaowan's heart was a little flustered, and she jumped extremely violently, as if she was about to jump out of her chest at any time. She grabbed her neckline vigorously, trying to stand up.

Due to coughing, her face began to turn red. Gu Xiaowan stood up, and just moved a few steps, suddenly her body became weak and fell down. Zuoyan quickly hugged her, and asked with concern: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Xiaowan only felt dizzy, her eyes were dark, her chest was stuffy and her body was weak, she said weakly, "Azuo, I... dizzy..."

Ah Zuo was startled, felt something strange coming from the palm of his hand, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, it was hot, and when she saw her flushed and weak, she was shocked immediately: "Girl, you have a fever !"

Gu Xiaowan poked her forehead with her hand, and sure enough, no wonder her whole body lacked any strength, it turned out that she had a fever.

Gu Xiaowan lay back down again, her head was getting more and more swollen, and she said weakly: "I'm fine, I'll be fine after a while!"

Ah Zuo's anxious eyes were red: "Girl, you lie down first, I'll call someone!"

After speaking, he rushed outside.

After a while, Kou Dan came in, holding a copper basin in his hand. Gu Xiaowan suffered from a severe headache, her whole body was sore and weak, and she had no strength at all. It seemed that there was too much wind blowing outside last night.

Her mind was dizzy, she only saw Kou Dan's blurred figure, then lost consciousness and passed out directly.

Before fainting, I heard Kou Dan anxiously calling: "Girl, girl..."

On a sunny day in September, the eastern sun broke through the clouds, shining golden light, and the warm autumn wind blowing on the body brought a slight warmth, but also a slight coolness.

On the Golden Luan Hall, Shu Tianci sitting above, although he has a young face, is full of the air of a king.

Under the main hall, civil and military officials stood in order, and above the main hall, Shu Tianci was talking about the Nanling problem.

"The Seventh Prince Xiao Yuanyao of Nanling is now enthroned as emperor. They will arrive in Daqing in November and come to pay tribute to our court." Shu Tianci said quietly.

He didn't come to ask these people for their opinion, but to tell them the truth.

As soon as the voice fell, the hall suddenly became lively.

Seeing the people below, you started to talk one after another, and everyone was very excited.

"The new emperor of Nanling has just ascended the throne, and their struggle for succession has just subsided. They came to pay tribute to our court so soon, which shows that our Qing Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, and the four dynasties are here to congratulate!"

"Your Majesty's wise and holy martial arts made Nanling submit to our Qing Dynasty, which is the blessing of our people!"

Shu Tianci sat quietly on the dragon chair, quietly listening to the flattery of his subordinates, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

Standing at the forefront, Shu Hao also smiled and listened to the praiseful laughter of the people around him. His eyes occasionally glanced at the figure sitting behind the heavy curtain above him, and suddenly he sneered.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Regent once secretly went to condolences after the death of the late emperor in Nanling. After the condolences, this Xiao Yuanyao swept away the obstacles of his eldest brother Xiao Yuanshan and succeeded in ascending the throne. Here, Your Majesty, Don't you suspect that there is something tricky?" Shu Hao asked.

Shu Tianci was a little puzzled: "What's so tricky? What does the emperor's words mean? Could it be that Xiao Yuanyao's ascension to the throne has something to do with the regent?"

There was an eerie silence above the main hall, so quiet that one could hear a needle drop on the ground.

Everyone's eyes, following the questioning of Prince Ming, turned to the main hall, the only prince who could sit and listen to politics like an emperor instead of standing in the hall.

No, it's on the curtain.

Because the regent had always been sitting firmly behind the heavy curtain, only his hazy shadow and his deep and deep voice could be vaguely seen.
