The Yingchun Courtyard in the west courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion occupies a large part of the Mansion. It is beautifully decorated with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers.

All the cultural relics on the antique shelves in the main house are exquisite.

The noble lady in her pink dress sat there eating the fruit that the maids had cut and chopped:

"Mom, I secretly looked at that woman under the veil. She is as thin as a bamboo pole and has a sickly body like my eldest brother. It is obvious that she is not blessed. I think my eldest brother will not be able to get married."

The one who spoke was Nangong Jiao, the third lady of Marquis Changyong's Mansion.

The thirteen-year-old Nangong Jiao is as her name suggests, she is more beautiful than flowers and is favored by the old marquis's wife and the concubine. In this marquis's mansion, as long as it is not too out of the ordinary, she is the boss.

"Humph, I didn't even go to the wedding ceremony, so I can't rush in."

The one sitting on the other side playing with a jade pendant was none other than the Second Young Master Nangong Xuan, who was supposed to come to the wedding today on behalf of his brother but said he had sprained his foot.

Looking at his lazy look, how could he be the type to call for a doctor just because he was injured?

Madam Zhu Xinlan looked at her two children and smiled faintly:

"Let them do whatever they want. Sooner or later, what belongs to you will definitely be yours."

The mother and her daughter were talking.

A little girl rushed in, without waiting for the announcement:

"Madam, I'm afraid the prince is in trouble. Madam Yang just ran out crying."

Zhu Xinlan put down the fruit in her hand and stood up in surprise:

"really?"

The little girl said:

"I don't know if it's true, but when I was sweeping the floor, I saw Aunt Yang running out the door while crying."

Madam Ce winked at the people behind her, and Mengchun, her capable maid, came out and gave a few copper coins to the little maid who reported the news:

"Go and ask around. Come and report anything quickly."

The little girl kowtowed happily to thank for the reward, then ran out again.

In the main courtyard of the Changyong Marquis's mansion, two little girls were massaging the old marquis's wife's legs. A nanny came in hurriedly and whispered a few words in the old marquis's ear. The old marquis's wife became depressed:

"Still failed to come back for the wedding?"

"Well, they said he came out from the east courtyard and kept howling as he rushed towards the main gate. He was totally different from his usual self."

The old marquis's face changed from cloudy to bright, and she sighed for a long time:

"What a pity for that child!"

No matter how much he disliked his mother, the child was his own grandson.

……

East Courtyard Chaohuiyuan

The clothes of Old Doctor Yang, who was pulled in by Nanny Yang, were pulled out of place.

After coming in, she had to tidy up her clothes first. But Yang Mama reached out to help first:

"Uncle San, please take my pulse first."

"Nonsense!"

Old Doctor Yang had retired and was at home entertaining his great-grandson when his niece rushed in and dragged him away.

Fortunately, the Yang family is not far from the Marquis' Mansion. If it were farther away, I wouldn't be able to run.

Doctor Yang wanted to pay his respects to the Marquis and his wife, but the Marquis' wife couldn't wait any longer and personally stepped forward to help him to the bed.

"Uncle Yang, please show it to Yu'er first."

Gu Ruoxi had unbuttoned her sleeves and stood aside, watching them busy.

Seeing Old Doctor Yang coming, Gu Ruoxi moved the embroidery stool over and let the old doctor sit down to take her pulse.

The old doctor sat down and saw that the prince had opened his eyes. He also said with surprise:

"The prince is awake!"

Ever since Nangong Yu was injured and poisoned, Old Doctor Yang had been invited to take his pulse several times. He naturally knew Nangong Yu's physical condition. Now that he saw that he had woken up, he was really surprised.

He stretched out his hand to feel the patient's pulse. As he felt the pulse, the corners of Doctor Yang's mouth widened:

"My Lord, Madam, the prince is in good health, but he still needs to recuperate for a few more days."

But Nangong Yu said in a hoarse voice:

“I couldn’t feel my legs.”

Gu Ruoxi blinked and looked at the prince: How is it possible? Although my body is weak now, the wood spirit is not full, and the poison has not been completely eliminated, but at least my limbs will not be unable to move.

Old Doctor Yang also frowned, and reached out to take Nangong Yu's pulse again with some disbelief.

But when he was taking the pulse, the prince pinched the old doctor Yang under his sleeve.

Old Doctor Yang was startled. When he looked at the prince, he found that the prince gave him a wink.

Because Gu Ruoxi happened to be standing at the head of the bed next to him, she was able to block other people's gazes on him, but she caught his eyes signaling to Old Doctor Yang.

Then, Doctor Yang changed his mind and sighed:

"It's just that the poison has been in his body for too long. After we gave him acupuncture and medicine, the poison has settled in his legs."

"I'm afraid this poison has hurt the prince's leg. He can't stand up or walk for the time being. It will take some effort to heal his leg."

This means that the prince is disabled!

Even so, the Marquis's wife was so happy that tears were streaming down her face. She turned around and knelt down facing the red candles in the new house:

"Thank you, Bodhisattva, and thank you for the guidance of the master. My son really woke up after the good fortune! Next time I go to the temple to fulfill my vow and make a golden statue for the Bodhisattva! It's good that my son is alive, it's good that he is alive!"

As he said this, he kowtowed three times to the red candle.

Gu Ruoxi: ...Thank you, Bodhisattva? Shouldn't you thank me? Nanny Yang also knelt down behind the Marquis' wife, also thanking the Bodhisattva.

The Marquis looked up at the pair of red candles that were still burning brightly, and his eyes became moist.

This is his eldest son. Although... although he seems a little distant from him after growing up, this son is his pride!

At the age of three, he was taught by Marquis Lady Xie, and at the age of five, he entered the palace to become a companion to the third prince.

At the age of sixteen, he ranked fifth in the second class. It is said that the late emperor did not let him enter the first class because he wanted to suppress him a little and did not want him to stand out too much and attract the attention of the third prince.

He is smart, clever, rational and calm, and has never caused any worries to adults since he was young.

Even though the late emperor had various concerns about the Nangong family, he still admired him very much.

The Third Prince is now the emperor, and he regards him as his right-hand man. This time he was poisoned because he helped the emperor block the assassination, but he did not expect that the poison on the arrow was difficult to cure.

The Marquis had not slept well these days because he was worried about his son. Before this wedding, he was mentally prepared to lose his son.

He did not stop the Marquis' wife from asking the master for help, but he was not optimistic about it either. He just wanted to let the Marquis' wife feel at ease.

But unexpectedly, my son really woke up!

only……

When the Marquis thought of this, he looked up at Gu Ruoxi who was now standing obediently at the head of the bed.

This girl didn't seem to be Gu Ruolan, whom he had met twice? But she seemed somewhat similar?

Did the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion abuse their daughter? Why is this girl so thin?

After kneeling down and kowtowed to the Buddha, Madam Hou stood up again and reached out to take Gu Ruoxi over.

To the Marquis’ wife, it didn’t matter whether it was Gu Ruolan or not. What mattered was that this girl seemed to be her son’s lucky star. Now, she came to bring good luck, and her son woke up.

If it was Gu Ruolan who came, maybe...
