Rebirth of marriage

The visitor respectfully withdrew, but he did not leave immediately. He and Mo Qi poked their heads at the door, thanking him for the wine and pretending not to know.

After a while, Mo Qi finally spoke, as if he was confused, "Xie Miss, please drink the medicine. Master said, if you don't drink it, we will have to get the whip."

Xie Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I don't like taking medicine. Don't take it anymore. The prince is joking with you. You are his people. How can he punish you because I am an outsider? Don't worry."

She was not familiar with Mo Qi and the others, and Gu Xiao would not be stupid enough to use his people to blackmail her.

What's more, he is not a person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and he will not punish irrelevant people because of her mistakes. These words are lies made up by Mo Qi to persuade her to take medicine.

When he saw Mo Qi standing at the door of the house the next day, Xie Jiu knew that he had guessed correctly.

The news of Xie Jiu and not taking medicine came back to Gu Xiao’s ears that night, but Gu Xiao only frowned and said nothing.

On the second day, he took medicine three times a day and still didn't drink a sip of wine. Gu Xiao put down the pen in his hand a little irritably, got up and wanted to go out.

Aunt Wu brought someone in with a food box and asked, "Your Majesty, are you going out?"

Gu Xiao paused, remembering Xie Jiu's calm eyes staring at him and asking him what he wanted to do.

His eyes darkened and he turned back to the desk. What did he want to do? He just couldn't bear the thought of her being sent out by the Yang family to become a plaything of men, and he also needed a woman as a Chinese medicine man.

He would meet her request and give her enough money to live a stable life as compensation. He could even secretly solve the Yang family for her as long as she was willing.

Previously, he was worried that she would simply be coaxed into sleeping with other men by the Yang family, so he threatened to kill her if she dared to sleep with other men. Later, when she killed the Yang family's clerk and crippled the Cai family to leave the Yang family, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.

Then why should he care about her injury? She didn't know how to pity herself, so why should he care so much? Gu Xiao slowly sat back on the chair.

He was cold-hearted and unkind to himself, but when did he have enough compassion to care about the lives of others?

Grandma Wu took the food box from the maid's hand, took out the food inside, and said with a smile, "My lord has been working hard recently. Grandma has made a medicinal diet. Please try it."

A delicate soup cup was placed in front of him. The aroma of meat was mixed with a faint medicinal smell. Gu Xiao settled down and then looked at Grandma Wu, "I heard that Grandma gave me 500 taels of wine as a reward."

When Aunt Wu heard this, her expression froze, but she soon adjusted and told the truth about her visit to Xie Jiu, detailing every sentence, "Your Majesty, this old slave is good at making decisions and is willing to accept the punishment.

But Xie Jiu was a widow, and it would be extremely detrimental to him if she was allowed to get involved with him, so the old slave had no choice but to say it was her own wish to prevent her from having unwanted fantasies about him. "

Gu Xiao listened quietly and said for a long time, "My life is only worth 500 taels in the eyes of grandma?"

How can the prince's life be measured in money? But 500 taels is a huge amount for a prisoner. Aunt Wu said in her heart, but she couldn't understand what Gu Xiao meant at the moment, so she tried, "Old slave Are you going to give Mrs. Yang some more banknotes?"

Gu Xiao nodded slightly, "Come out of Grandma's private room."

Aunt Wu's face suddenly changed. The prince blamed her.

After Mo Li was punished, she knew that what she had done could not be hidden, but she did not feel that she had done anything wrong. Xie Jiu was from the Yang family, and the Yang family belonged to the third prince. Who could say for sure whether this was not a trap set by the third prince? Well, after all, the third prince gave the medicine to the prince.

First administer the medicine, and then let a widow get involved with the prince. Then the prince and the widow's affair will be brought before his majesty, and even impeached by the censor. Your majesty will definitely punish the prince, and the relationship between the two will become more tense because of the prince's resentment towards your majesty. .

When the Duke of Zhenguo knew about this, he would also criticize the prince. The prince was already in trouble. She originally thought that the prince understood her painstaking efforts and did not criticize her until he found out about the matter.

But now...

Aunt Wu felt bitter in her heart.

"Mommy is old and can't go out at night. Bring it here and I will order someone to send it to you." Gu Xiao looked cold.

Nanny Wu's heart sank to the bottom. The prince wanted her to send the banknote to the study for him to check.

The prince respected her in the past and was generous with money, so she had saved a fortune, and the prince knew about it.

But now the prince asked her to give her private room to thank him for the wine. Nanny Wu looked at Gu Xiao with trembling lips, and walked out without saying anything.

A quarter of an hour later, she brought 1 taels and said, "The prince's life is precious. Thank you for saving your life. I should give you more, but I only have this."

Of course, it was more than that. After all, she was unwilling to give all the wine to thank her. She had to leave it to the prince.

"It's late at night, mama, please go back to the hospital to rest early." Gu Xiao glanced at the banknotes, his voice was calm, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.

Aunt Wu knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty, I hope you are well."

1 taels is not a small amount, and the prince actually accepted it all. The most famous prostitute in Yuyouguan can only get [-] taels in one night. No matter how good-looking she is, Xie Jiu is still a widow, and she is still a widow from a criminal family. Wu Grandma felt very uneasy.

Gu Xiao didn't even raise his head, "Mommy, it's only three things."

He respected her, but there were some things she couldn't interfere with.

Grandma Wu sighed heavily and left the room with the help of two maids.

Gu Xiao held the banknotes and thought for a long time. He called the secret guard and asked him to deliver the banknotes to Xie Jiu.

The secret guard left, and he caught a glimpse of the soup cup on the table. He seemed to hear the cry of thanking the wine again in his mind, and by some strange mistake, he walked out of the study.

In a strange place, Xie Jiu slept very lightly. She woke up when there was movement at the door.

Under the dim candlelight, she saw a tall figure walking towards the bed.

After blinking and seeing the person in front of her clearly, Xie Jiu looked at him calmly until she saw the medicine bowl in his hand. She quickly turned over and buried her face in the soft pillow.

In the face of absolute power, her escape was in vain.

Gu Xiao picked him up and held him in his arms. He picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip before leaning over and kissing Xie Jiu on the lips.

After feeding a bowl of medicine, Xie Jiu felt an unknown fire in his heart, and couldn't help but sneered, "The prince really cares about this body, and he doesn't hesitate to come to give medicine at night. It's a pity that the body is inconvenient now and can't serve the prince."

Although she didn't take any medicine, she applied the external medicine vigorously. She finally came back to life, how could she risk her life? However, the injury was not life-threatening.

He made a fuss out of a molehill.

Gu Xiao didn't care about her sarcasm and said calmly, "If you don't drink the medicine tomorrow, I will continue to feed you this way."

Hearing this, Xie Jiu sat up suddenly, hugged his neck and kissed him. She kissed him hard and deeply, with a bit of revenge.

When Gu Xiao pushed her, she let go of him and smiled, "I've done the more intimate things. Your Majesty's threat is of no use. I just don't like taking medicine, and I'm not trying to harm myself. Your Majesty, you can rest assured."

Gu Xiao stared at her for a moment, the depths of his dark eyes were like cold pools, and he said two words in a low tone, "It's up to you."

He stood up and left the house. The words of Xie Jiu injected a sense of clarity into his brain. He cared about her injuries, probably because she took the initiative to hit the assassin's sword, and was worried that she would not cherish herself like her mother and concubine, and would harm her body.

He didn't care about her, and Gu Xiao felt a little relieved.

Xie Jiu looked at the man walking away without looking back, and fell straight on the bed in anger.

But considering that Gu Xiao died so tragically for her in his previous life, and she was reluctant to be angry with him, he must have a reason.

Gu Xiao did not appear again in the next few days, but left Mo Qi to watch her and not allow her to leave.

Xie Jiu still didn't take medicine, but she asked the kitchen to make a medicinal meal to replenish qi and blood, and ate every last bit of it. She also wanted to get better quickly.

Eating well and sleeping well made her look much better. During the past few days of training in another hospital, she spent most of her time eating and sleeping, and occasionally recorded some things taught by her master on paper.

At noon on the fifth day, she told Mo Qi that she was going back to Lin Shu's house.

Mo Qi did not stop her and handed her a wooden box, "Girl, these are the pills that the prince specially asked the doctor to prepare to replenish qi and blood. They are sweet. Please bring them with you."

Xie Jiu took it, took one out and put it in his mouth. The sweetness of the honey offset the bitterness of the medicinal herbs.

Her heart was bittersweet.

Mo Qi took out her backpack and handed it to her, "The things in this are also prepared by the master as ordered by his subordinates."

It was a box of too pale powder and some fresh medicinal materials, as well as the clothes she was wearing when she arrived, but the clothes were scratched in a few places.

Xie Jiu's eyes fell on Mo Qi's face, "Aren't you afraid that I will pester him and tarnish his reputation?"
