Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Gu Yichuan's eyes were as dark as the night, and he nodded after a long while, "Okay, Nankui, I promise you that I will appear in front of you when you want to see me, but you also have to promise me to take good care of yourself and not worry too much, and everything will be fine."

There was a glimmer in his eyes, as if he had a lot to say.

Shen Nankui only took a glance and turned away, "I know."

Gu Yichuan stared at her quietly for a while, then turned and left the house. Not long after, he left the Qingyu Lane courtyard.

After he left, the courtyard became even quieter.

There were two injured patients in the hospital. Shen Nankui was better. After two days of recuperation, he was able to get out of bed and walk. However, Zhong Shan was seriously injured and bedridden. It was Hehua who took care of him every day.

The original bamboo forest in the courtyard and the flowers and trees planted later were all destroyed by Princess Yongjia. Now the courtyard is in a mess, bare everywhere, and there is not much scenery to see. Shen Nankui has been unwilling to leave the house these days. After taking the medicine, he just stays in the room reading.

Doctor Li would come to check her pulse every day, but he would only say the same thing, asking her to take good care of herself.

However, what surprised Shen Nankui was that Doctor Li didn't know if there was something wrong with his body. In just a few days, he looked much more haggard than before.

She didn't want to ask, she just felt that Doctor Li's medical skills were indeed good.

I still remember that on the day of her miscarriage, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. But after taking the medicine, she really didn't feel any pain at all. In fact, her body was not as weak as she had imagined after the miscarriage. Apart from depression and poor appetite, she had no other discomfort.

But she couldn't be happy.

She failed to protect her child and deserved to be punished. If she let it go so easily, not to mention whether the child could forgive her as a mother, she herself would not be able to let it go...

After Doctor Li took her pulse and gave her instructions, he saw that she looked gloomy and seemed overwhelmed by sadness. There was a hint of pity in his eyes, but he just sighed, slowly picked up the medicine box and went back to Zhongshan's room.

Zhongshan's injury is more troublesome and requires daily dressing changes.

After Doctor Li finished his work, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his face became paler. When he went to pick up the medicine box, his body couldn't help but sway a few times.

Hehua hurried over to take the medicine box, "Doctor Li, I'll take you there."

When they got to the outside of the courtyard, Hehua suddenly asked, "Excuse me, Doctor Li, does my wife's miscarriage have any impact on her health?"

"Madam is young, if you take good care of yourself, there won't be any root of disease." Doctor Li answered fluently.

"Did the lady's pregnancy really go away?"

Doctor Li frowned and said unhappily, "Why do you ask this question, young lady? Don't you believe in my medical skills?"

"No, I'm not questioning Doctor Li, it's just..."

A trace of doubt emerged on her face, and she said puzzledly, "My sister-in-law also had a miscarriage accidentally. I took care of her for a few days during her confinement. Normally, women will have a few days of bleeding after a miscarriage. The doctor also said that it is appropriate to drain the remaining blood. However, my wife's clothes have no blood stains except for the first day. I was afraid of making my wife sad, so I didn't dare to ask her. That's why I came to ask you. If this pregnancy is really clean, then there is no problem. If there is residual blood in the body that has not been drained out, won't it leave hidden dangers?"

Doctor Li smiled and said, "Young lady, you should be really careful. Most unmarried women never pay attention to these things. Your worries are not unreasonable. However, I know how to use medicine. If I say it will not harm your wife's body, I will definitely not make a mistake. If I am right, your sister-in-law must have had a miscarriage after the first three months, when the fetus was stable. Naturally, there would be more dirty blood in her body. But your wife has been pregnant for less than three months, so there is not such a big injury. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, He Hua breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and said, "Thank you, Doctor Li, for clearing up my doubts. I feel relieved now that my wife is fine."

After saying this, she walked two steps to the alley entrance, waved to call two sedan bearers, took out a few copper coins and gave them, saying with a smile: "Please take Doctor Li home."

Doctor Li was stunned and quickly declined, "How can this be done?"

He Hua smiled and said, "Doctor Li, please get on the sedan chair. My wife told me yesterday that you are old and asked me to arrange a sedan chair to take you home every day from now on."

Li Lang was deeply moved and looked back at the courtyard.

He had already sat in the sedan chair when he suddenly stuck his head out and called out to Hehua, "Miss, please go back and tell your wife not to worry and just relax. The lost child may come back to her in another form."

Hehua nodded blankly and kept thinking about these words on the way back.

"Come back to me in another form?"

Shen Nankui murmured, and said with emotion: "Doctor Li is kind-hearted and a good person."

Although it was the abortion medicine he prescribed that caused her miscarriage, Shen Nankui could see that Doctor Li was not an unethical mediocre doctor and he did this because he was forced by Princess Yongjia.

-

After Gu Yichuang left the courtyard in Qingyu Lane, he found an inn nearby to stay in.

On the day he entered the palace to meet the emperor, he accused Princess Yongjia of murdering his wife and asked His Majesty to make the decision. Although His Majesty agreed to the matter, he did not take any action for a long time. In fact, on the day of the audience, the other two people in the first group were granted official positions, but Gu Yichuan was the only one who was put aside.

Logically speaking, as the new top scholar, he should have entered the Hanlin Academy directly according to the old rules.

However, His Majesty did not issue an order, but instead appointed the other two candidates, second and third, to review and revise respectively.

Gu Yichuan was just ignored.

Everyone in the court said that Gu Yichuan said the wrong thing when he met the emperor and angered the emperor, so he was disliked and was afraid that he would not be reused.

Some people even laughed at him, knowing that Your Majesty had suppressed the impeachment of Marquis Jianning, yet he, a newly-crowned Jinshi, had the courage to bring up the matter again. Your Majesty could not touch Marquis Jianning, but could not punish a small scholar from a poor family?

He may be patient for a while and everything will be fine, but he has such a bad temper that he cannot stand even the slightest grievance. He is simply destroying his own future by showing off his edge in front of Your Majesty!

Those who originally wanted to curry favor with him have now all retreated away, and even the inn where he is staying has started to have some gossip.

Gu Yichuan ignored it all.

Without an official position, he was still a scholar. Every day, apart from visiting Shen Nankui in the courtyard of Qingyu Lane, he just stayed in his room reading.

That day, he was sitting by the window reading a book when the door suddenly opened.

He thought it was the waiter, so he said, "Just put it on the table first."

A female voice with a charming smile came, "How did Gu Lang know that I brought you food? Well, then I will obey your orders and put these on the table first."

Gu Yichuan turned around and saw her, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"why you?"
