When Gu Ningxi suddenly encountered such an accident, everyone agreed in advance to rush for him. Ji Changbo and his party gradually distanced themselves from the people in the Tao Mansion, and they arrived at the gate of the capital at noon.

Although she was riding in a specially made stable military-style carriage and lay flat on the soft, fluffy multi-layered quilt all the way, the wound on Gu Ningxi's chest still burst.

The doctor had warned him before leaving that he had hurt his heart and had a low-grade fever. He was supposed to lie on the bed without moving and take rest, at least five or six days before touching the ground for light activities.

However, Gu Ningxi was fine. After waking up yesterday, she chased Tao Xinhe all the way, insisted on going back to Beijing at night, and her movements continued, which made his injury worse.

Today, I had to rush through dozens of miles of potholes and muddy roads after the rain. The doctor thought of Gu Ningxi's heart breaking, and felt that he was in pain for him. He just shook his head and sighed, and prescribed some sleep aids under the plea of ​​Gu's second aunt. pills.

When setting off in the morning, Gu Ningxi was helped to the front of the car. Under the guidance of the servants, Gu Ningxi knew that the Zhuangzi where He Niang was not far away.

After getting into the car, Gu Ningxi held a sliver of hope at first, hoping that He Niang would come to see him. Because he heard with his own ears last night that He Niang borrowed the chariot and horse from Ji Changbo for him. At that time, he only felt like a flower blooming in his heart, and there was no more pain.

Enduring the bumps that were indeed less than ordinary carriages and horses, Gu Ningxi leaned against the wall of the carriage, half-sitting and looking out of the carriage curtain in a daze, until he coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood.

The young fellow couldn't bear to read, so he pleaded guilty and supported Gu Ningxi to lie flat, muttering, "Master, if Madam came to see you, she must have come a long time ago, why didn't there be any movement when she left? Besides Even if she really wants to think about it on the road, she will send someone to report it first. You lie down peacefully and don't stand by such a small car window like a wife-watching stone."

Shihua and his younger brother were alone, first stated their intentions, then ignored Gu Ningxi's stiffness, pulled him over and pushed him down. At this moment, he was unbuttoning his coat, observing that the two-layered bandage just changed before departure was dyed with no printing. Blood marks.

"Yes, sir. The doctor said that the dagger you received pierced through the heart and affected the lungs, causing the blood not to return to the meridians. It is easy to cough or vomit with bleeding foam. Be careful. The little ones are waiting for you Take the pill and take a nap to refresh yourself."

Gu Ningxi stayed on the way halfway, and the sunlight followed the swinging car curtains to find cracks, directly shining on the eyelids of the person lying flat, making him writhe left and right as if he was being roasted, so uncomfortable, that he put down the idea of ​​waiting for He Niang , took sleep aid pills, and fell asleep half asleep.

It happened to help him successfully support to the capital.

Cheng Shicheng drove up to Gu Ningxi's car, and asked politely through the window: "Is Gu Sicheng okay? We have passed through the city gate and returned to the capital. Please forgive me, my dog ​​Cheng Jia will **** you back Mansion, and then go see his parents-in-law."

Gu Ningxi had just recovered from the medicine, her sanity had not yet returned, she squeezed her forehead to barely respond, her voice was weak, but she asked, "I wonder if the Taofu convoy has arrived yet?"

I didn't see him, but I could hear Cheng Shicheng's voice obviously a little bit cold: "Gu Sicheng first think about how to act in the future, don't be distracted by extra tasks. I will take care of everyone in the Tao Mansion, so I will bid farewell. Hope You will recover soon, if you need my help, just ask, I will do what I can."

"Thank you, I can do it myself. Uncle, I will repay you in the future." Gu Ningxi insisted on showing a pale face at the car window, and the two servants behind him supported him so that he would not fall down. Fortunately, he could not be seen from the outside. To the embarrassment behind him.

He looked directly at the strong and strong man on the horse, and still couldn't distinguish his eyebrows, but it didn't prevent him from affirming his claim: "But uncle, listen to me. My infatuation with He Niang has not changed, and she knows me. Even if I can't be loved by her for the rest of my life Pity, I also feel sorry for her being entangled by someone like Uncle, and I ask Uncle to hold his hands high and stop teasing her."

Cheng Shicheng originally raised the whip, and was about to turn around to meet Tao Xinhe who was halfway, but when he heard the words, he leaned over and approached Gu Ningxi, his nose smelled of blood, which seemed to arouse the fighting spirit in the man's bones: "A person like me? What does Gu Sicheng mean? I think that I am superior to you in terms of official rank and family property, dealing with people, age and qualifications, character and even physique."

Gu Ningxi thought sadly that his family property is now weak, he has no clan protection, his official rank is lower than that of Ji Changbo, he is seriously injured and has to work hard, so he is really not a good match, far from the conditions he had when he proposed to He Niang.

However, Ji Changbo, you can't be humane!

Gu Ningxi really couldn't say it out loud, a gentleman should not judge a person's merits, it was an upbringing engraved in his bones.

Cheng Shicheng was generally considerate, seeing that he was silent, he answered the words himself: "Since Gu Sicheng misses A Tao, he even reads her boudoir's name when he is in a coma, her emotions are earth-shattering, when we get married, we must invite Gu Sicheng Your Majesty, Atao and I will toast you a glass of wine. After a year or so, Atao is pregnant, and we will write a post to announce the good news to you."

what! Cheng Shicheng is in good health?

Gu Ningxi understood that he didn't completely regard Cheng Shicheng as a rival in love before, but only relied on his hidden illness in his heart. Now, after hearing the words, the scene of the two talking side by side before the injury, and the details of pulling weeds as if they were playing charades last night , rushed into Gu Ningxi's heart one after another, causing him to feel pain, as if he had received another invisible knife.

Gu Ningxi thought, he must speed up the pace of seeking justice for himself, otherwise he would not be able to compete with Cheng Shicheng.

Therefore, Cheng Jia sent him to the new Gu's mansion, and after the two parties bid farewell politely, Gu Ningxi insisted on leaving the mansion to show his face at the old Gu's mansion and the patriarch's house respectively.

The housekeeper couldn't stop him, and hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to the second uncle and aunt of the Gu family who had just left.

Afterwards, Second Uncle Gu waited for him at the gate of the old Gu mansion, sighed and accompanied the stubborn nephew to beg to see Mrs. Gu.

**

After traveling for two or three miles, Cheng Shicheng met the Tao Mansion convoy head-on, and put on his usual smile.

Tao Xinhe was a little surprised, and asked softly through the car curtain: "Didn't uncle go all the way with the Gu family? Why did you come back again?"

Hearing the answer of parting ways, Tao Xinhe nodded blankly, and then remembered that the carriage was separated, so she responded aloud.

Cheng Shicheng was like a roundworm in her stomach. After she hesitated for a few moments, she understood her concern and set up a step for her: "A Tao, Gu Sicheng's life was rescued by you and me together, so naturally we can't see him." Tossing around. With the friendship of living and traveling together these few days, why not send Uncle Tao and the others back to the mansion, and you and I will visit the Xingu mansion together?"

"Okay!" Tao Xinhe responded quickly and anxiously, and raised her hand to cover her lips when she recovered.

Cheng Shicheng accompanied him right there, helping Uncle Tao get off the car with a smile, joking with Tao Xinqiang, and sincerely inquiring about Hong's body, which made everyone in the Tao Mansion feel that Cheng Shicheng was with them.

After a few minutes faster than usual, Tao Xinhe left Qingfang to deal with other general affairs, and told her third sister Tao Xinqiang to worry more, then got into Cheng Shicheng's carriage and meandered towards Xingu's mansion.

Unexpectedly, it was empty.

The housekeeper frowned and told about Gu Ningxi's whereabouts. Tao Xinhe frowned and reprimanded: "Why didn't you stop him?" After hearing that the housekeeper called him "madam" and was about to defend himself, she just remembered and apologized softly to the housekeeper.

That being the case, Tao Xinhe and Cheng Shicheng had no choice but to leave.

In front of Xingu's mansion, Tao Xinhe declined Cheng Shicheng's request for escort, saying that she can go back to the mansion by herself, and that uncle should rest after being tired.

Cheng Shicheng, however, was hesitant and disagreed, saying that weeds had to be planted and trees had to be planted, and he was that majestic tree, and Atao had to be brave enough to accept his overtures and his approach.

While the two were arguing, Second Uncle Gu came back with Gu Ningxi.

Gu Ningxi dragged her feet with heavy steps, with a sad face, she passed by Tao Xinhe and turned her head, her face changed drastically, her brows were forced into a flat and joyful look, and she called half tentatively and half pleasantly, "He Niang? You're here?"

Tao Xinhe felt as if her breathing was being dragged away by the person in front of her, and she couldn't breathe out of her heart, and after a while she said, "Let's see if you've settled down."

Talking about things at the door is always outrageous, and soon the group moved to the flower hall.

Tao Xinhe used to be extremely familiar with the place, where she received guests, greeted with others, and just sat around with nothing to do, all of which were common sights.

When she left on the ninth day of the first lunar month, she thought that she would never step into the Xin Gu Mansion again in her lifetime, or at least it would be after many years of time. She didn't expect to revisit her old place after more than a month, but it was for the person she wanted to leave...the ex-husband Gu Ningxi with a sick face in front of her.

Uncle Gu patted his stomach and gasped for breath, and talked about the situation of returning in vain.

When they arrived at Old Gu's Mansion, Third Uncle Gu came out unceremoniously to refuse Gu Ningxi's visit, and by the way, scolded his uncle Second Uncle Gu. Speaking of Mrs. Gu, she was recuperating, and Gu Ningxi was so angry that she didn't want to see this unworthy descendant at all.

When they arrived at the patriarch's house, the patriarch saw Gu Ningxi's complexion changed drastically, and asked him repeatedly, did he not complete the imperial mission and absconded with his concubine? Why did it suddenly appear again? Gu Ningxi simply explained a few words, but the patriarch blindly shirked responsibility, saying that he didn't understand official affairs, and that Gu Ningran took the lead, and he followed in a cloud. The Hui people will definitely not be able to return, let Gu Ningxi prove his innocence.

Gu Ningxi didn't intend to go to other offshoots of the Gu family. Uncle Gu naturally wanted him to return home to recover from his injuries, so he met Cheng Shicheng and Tao Xinhe who were just about to leave the home.

"It turns out that what Gu Ningran gave me was such an unwarranted crime. Someone really believed it, and he actually succeeded." Gu Ningxi muttered a few words, and then her eyes became firm: "I'm looking for Gu Ningran again right now. It doesn’t help, so I can only focus on completing the imperial mission, and then move on to the next step.”

Tao Xinhe couldn't help affirming his thoughts.

Later, when Gu Ningxi said that he was going to the wine shop to retrieve the materials he had written earlier, Tao Xinhe sighed deeply, turned his face to look at the ground and answered: "The **** smell on your body can attract tigers in the mountains, let's keep it safe. The shopkeeper of the restaurant recognizes me, so I'll go for you."

Gu Ningxi refused at first, but then thought of something, she suddenly smiled, lighting up her handsome pale face, and replied: "Then I won't thank you, I will entrust it to you. I will wait for you in the mansion... come back .”

With the last two words between her lips and teeth, Gu Ningxi seemed to have returned to the time when the couple was back when Tao Xinhe was busy with him.

Cheng Shicheng left at the same time, and wanted to accompany Tao Xinhe on this trip. Gu Ningxi couldn't stop her, her smile dimmed.
