Gu Jiangyue took a short rest. After waking up, she headed straight for Gu Yi's courtyard. Gu Jiangyue had been extremely exhausted in the past few days, so Zhi Yuan followed closely behind her, carefully supporting her.
"How is Yi'er now?"
Gu Yi was in poor health originally, and he had just cried his heart out. Gu Jiangyue was really worried that something might happen to him. Fortunately, Zhi Yuan just smiled and replied.
"Miss, don't worry about the young master. I heard from Young Master Ji that the young master has been in good health these days. Let's go and see for ourselves."
Gu Jiangyue recalled Gu Yi's complexion just now. It was indeed a bit rosier. Zhi Yuan was right, so she didn't ask any more questions and quickened her pace.
When Gu Jiangyue arrived at Gu Yi's courtyard, she also saw Xie Jiuan and Ji Yunsheng. Ji Yunsheng still had that smiling look on his face. Xie Jiuan had changed into a clean robe. The white robe fluttered in the wind, and he looked extremely handsome sitting there.
"How is Gu Yi?"
When Gu Jiangyue saw the two of them, her restless heart gradually calmed down. She looked around but didn't see Gu Yi.
"In the room."
Ji Yunsheng answered first. He tilted his chin towards the closed door, indicating that Gu Yi was inside.
"He's resting inside. Song Zhong should have gone to verify the authenticity of the Wood Spirit Moon Orchid. You can go in and have a look."
Xie Jiuan frowned and glanced at Ji Yunsheng, then smiled and gave Gu Jiangyue a more detailed explanation.
Hearing that Gu Yi was resting, Gu Jiangyue had no more concerns. She walked straight to the door and knocked on the closed door.
"Yi'er?"
Gu Yi inside the room seemed to have heard Gu Jiangyue's voice. His tone was filled with excitement as he quickly replied.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open. Gu Yi had already sat up on the bed. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Gu Jiangyue. But then, as if he had thought of something, his expression dimmed.
"Sister, have you been looking for medicine for me all this time?"
Hearing this, Gu Jiangyue was stunned for a moment. She nodded and sat down beside Gu Yi, only to see Gu Yi lowering his head.
"Sister, don't you hate me? I was in such a state..."
Gu Yi only knew that his illness was very difficult to treat and required a lot of rare treasures from heaven and earth. But he didn't expect that no matter how bad he was, there would still be people who cared about him and helped him.
"No, I don't hate you. Sister knows that Yi'er is the most obedient."
Gu Jiangyue let out a soft laugh and reached out to ruffle Gu Yi's hair. Gu Yi's hair was as soft as he was.
Gu Yi looked at Gu Jiangyue and felt a sourness in his nose. He wanted to cry again. But just as he was about to open his mouth and cry out loud, he felt Gu Jiangyue quickly stuff a preserved fruit into his mouth. The preserved fruit was sweet and suppressed the sourness in Gu Yi's heart.
"I know you're afraid of the bitter medicine and don't want to take it. Here, this is for you."
Gu Jiangyue put the remaining preserved fruits on the plate into Gu Yi's hand. Ten years ago, Gu Yi was still a child who chased after her asking for candy. Gu Jiangyue had always remembered that Gu Yi liked sweet things.
"The preserved fruits from sister are the sweetest."
Gu Yi chewed on the preserved fruit in his mouth and looked at Gu Jiangyue, showing a long - lost smile. Just then, there was a noise outside the door. Gu Jiangyue patted Gu Yi's head and went to check what was going on.
"This Wood Spirit Moon Orchid is real. I'll use it on Young Master Gu right away."
As soon as Gu Jiangyue stepped out of the door, she heard Song Zhong's excited voice. He was still holding the flower that they had obtained with great difficulty in his hand.
A smile appeared on Gu Jiangyue's lips. She subconsciously looked at Xie Jiuan and found that Xie Jiuan was also looking at her with a smile.
The Wood Spirit Moon Orchid was extremely rare and precious. Although it had good medicinal effects, it was also extremely troublesome to use. If one was not careful, it would be ruined. During the half - month of using the medicine, Xie Jiuan and Ji Yunsheng rarely missed, and Gu Jiangyue also kept watch all the time.
Since Gu Yimiao had gone crazy last time, there had been no more trouble from the Second Branch. It seemed that Shen Menglan was scared, or perhaps she could no longer shake Gu Jiangyue's position, so she didn't dare to provoke them anymore.
It was quiet inside the Gu Mansion, but there were quite a few disturbances in the capital outside the mansion.
"Xie Chengrui is going to marry a brothel girl! Jiangyue, was this your doing?"
Ji Yunsheng was sitting on a stone bench in Gu Yi's courtyard. He propped his cheek with his hand and casually rested his elbow on the stone table. He looked at Gu Jiangyue with a mischievous smile on his face.
"You're so quick. I haven't paid much attention to these things in the past few days. Has Xie Chengrui already confirmed it?"
There was a hint of surprise in Gu Jiangyue's round eyes. Half a month had already passed, and Gu Jiangyue guessed that the matter in Jingzhou should have been resolved.
"Yes. As expected, there was a severe drought after the heavy rain. Xie Chengrui used the method of water storage and gained a lot of credit in front of the emperor."
There was a hint of exhaustion in Xie Jiuan's eyes. He took a sip of the tea gently and told them all the information he had gathered in the past few days.
"Not bad, Jiangyue. Your astrology skills are really good. I'll have to learn them someday."
There was a look of admiration in Ji Yunsheng's eyes as he looked at Gu Jiangyue. He sat there daydreaming, seemingly very interested in astrology.
"Xie Chengrui has gained so many benefits. Did the emperor agree to let Xie Chengrui marry Mu Xia?"
Gu Jiangyue felt a bit guilty because of what Ji Yunsheng said. It wasn't that she knew astrology. It was just that she had been reborn. Ignoring Ji Yunsheng, she raised the corner of her lips in a smile and then asked Xie Jiuan.
Xie Jiuan thought for a moment and then spoke again.
"Xie Chengrui really believed in Mu Xia's ability. He told the emperor the truth and wanted to marry Mu Xia. After this incident, the emperor also thought highly of Mu Xia, so he naturally agreed. But now there's another problem."
Xie Jiuan paused for a moment. Gu Jiangyue immediately became interested and asked.
"What problem?"
Xie Jiuan sneered and said.
"Xie Chengrui is completely infatuated. He wants to marry Mu Xia as his main wife. But the emperor thinks that no matter what, Mu Xia is just a woman from a brothel and doesn't want Xie Chengrui to waste his main wife position on her. But Xie Chengrui is determined, and although the emperor is dissatisfied, he is too lazy to care and just lets him do as he wishes."
Xie Chengrui was now completely infatuated with Mu Xia. Gu Jiangyue's goal was about to be achieved soon. After Xie Chengrui married Mu Xia, he would find that Mu Xia was actually a good - for - nothing.
"Gu Zhengwan hasn't appeared for a while. The emperor has never attached much importance to Xie Chengrui. No wonder he agreed. He probably didn't expect to gain anything from Xie Chengrui. When will they get married?"
Ji Yunsheng on the side spoke up at this moment.
Xie Jiuan thought for a while and then shook his head.
"I don't know."
Ji Yunsheng seemed to have thought of something else. He raised his head and looked at Xie Jiuan, then at Gu Jiangyue. He asked in confusion.
"How did this news spread? The whole capital is in an uproar. Who did this again?"
