Chapter 171: The Difference Between Adoptive Son and the Other

The other party was the eldest son of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion and had an unusual status, so the Queen Mother asked Eunuch Qin to stay with him and monitor the treatment to make sure he was saved.

"Doctor Xu, how is Commander Gu?" Eunuch Qin asked hurriedly after the imperial physician finished taking his pulse.

Doctor Xu said, "I saw a wound on his ankle. He must have been bitten by a snake or insect, which caused him to faint. Fortunately, he sealed his blood vessels before fainting, so the poison spread slowly. I have already given him antidote pills and cleaned out the poisonous blood. When he wakes up, he will be fine after a few days of rest."

Eunuch Gui clasped his hands together and said, "Thank God, thank the Bodhisattva for your protection. Commander Gu has only been in office at the Wenquan Palace for a year. He is young and promising, and he is also the legitimate son of the Marquisate. It would be a pity if he died of poisoning."

Eunuch Qin, Eunuch Gui and Imperial Physician Xu stood by and waited for Commander Gu to wake up.

About half an hour later, Gu Yi slowly woke up.

"Where am I?" Gu Yi asked.

Eunuch Gui stepped forward and said, "Commander Gu, are you okay? Doctor Xu said you were poisoned by a snake, but fortunately the poison has been cured."

Gu Yi took a deep breath. He was indeed injured by a snake. "I don't know who saved me. I must thank them!"

Eunuch Gui pushed Eunuch Qin to the front and said, "It was Eunuch Qin who was beside the Queen Mother who ordered people to carry you back."

Eunuch Qin smiled and said, "Commander Gu, you are welcome. I was ordered by the Queen Mother to go into the mountains to hunt rabbits, and I just happened to find you lying unconscious on the ground. It's just a small favor, but Commander Gu was injured while hunting rabbits for the little prince. Concubine Tao and the little prince were very upset, and said that they would come to visit you in person when you wake up."

Gu Yi hurriedly said, "No, no, how can we trouble Lady Tao and the little prince to visit? We can't do that."

Gu Yi looked around and realized that this should be the temporary palace. He couldn't stay here any longer, so he said, "I wonder if I can move around now? It's not convenient for me to stay in the temporary palace. I have to go back to the barracks as soon as possible."

Doctor Xu said, "The poison has been removed, but the wound still needs to be disinfected. It would be better to wait for two days until the wound is better before leaving!"

Eunuch Qin and Eunuch Gui both tried their best to keep him. He had finally managed to save his life, and he couldn't let anything go wrong again.

Hard to refuse such a kind invitation, Gu Yi had no choice but to stay, but asked Eunuch Gui to send someone to the military camp to tell him, so that his subordinates would not worry if they couldn't find him.

After Eunuch Qin came back with the report, little Jinan felt a little uneasy, thinking that it was because of his desire for the rabbit that someone got hurt, so his whole face was wrinkled and he no longer had a smile on his face.

The Queen Mother said, "Jin'an, you are the master and he is the subject. If something unexpected happens while doing things for the master, you can reward him, commend him, and compensate him, but you cannot feel guilty or sorry for him, understand?"

Xiao Jinan nodded half-heartedly, then shook his head.

The Queen Mother touched his head and said, "You will understand when you grow up. If you feel uneasy, just ask your mother to take you to visit her."

Although the Empress Dowager only said that she was visiting, Tao Yanyan still personally prepared meals for the wounded and sent them there the next day. It would be unreasonable to visit a patient without bringing anything.

Upon hearing that Concubine Tao was coming with the little prince, Eunuch Gui quickly had someone put up a screen as a partition to prevent the outsider from bumping into Concubine Tao.

After Tao Yanyan brought Xiao Jin'an in, she saw the screen in the middle and said through the screen: "This time, Commander Gu was accidentally injured. The little prince and I are very worried. We specially cooked a few dishes and sent them over. We hope Commander Gu will recover soon."

Gu Yi could only vaguely see a slender figure outside the screen. From the voice, it seemed that the figure was not very old, and might even be about the same age as his half-sister.

Thinking that the other party picked up a child at random and seduced the king to take him as a prince, Gu Yi said distantly: "Thank you, Lady Tao and the little prince, but I am fine. Thank you, Lady Tao and the little prince, for coming to visit."

Tao Yanyan touched Xiao Jinan's head and said, "Go in and see Commander Gu. Let Dong Fang and the others accompany you. Your mother will be waiting for you here."

Dong Fang carried the food box, Xiao Quanzi held Xiao Jinan's hand, and the three of them were led in by Eunuch Gui.

Gu Yi wanted to get up, but Tao Yanyan said from outside the screen, "Commander Gu, just lie down. There's no need to get up."

Xiao Jinan also nodded and said, "Well, you are injured now, don't move, and rest well."

After saying that, he sat obediently on the stool that Xiao Quanzi brought.

"Mother has prepared delicious rice, eggs and vegetables. You should eat more to increase your nutrition." Little Jinan instructed like a little adult, serious and cute.

Gu Yi had never had the experience of getting along with such a young child. His mother died during childbirth, and he was raised by his stepmother. His stepmother's children often fought with him when they were young, so he had never seen such a cute child.

Eunuch Gui brought out the food, and the color and aroma of the food immediately aroused people's appetite. Gu Yi was a little hungry, but it felt weird to eat in front of so many people, so he didn't move.

"Do you want me to feed you? Well, mother would feed me when I was sick."

Little Jinan took the bowl of rice and started to feed him actively. Eunuch Gui quickly stopped him: "Why bother the little prince? Let me do it." As he was about to serve the rice, a hand took it away first.

Gu Yi took the bowl and said, "I'll eat it myself. Thank you, little prince."

The first bite almost made my eyebrows drop.

He couldn't help eating with big mouthfuls, and soon he finished all the food.

Xiao Jinan was very satisfied: "Mother said that if you eat more, your body will recover faster. It seems that you will get better soon."

A blush flashed across Gu Yi's face. He had just eaten up everything in no time at all, without any manners at all. He even ate up the entire lunch box, feeling quite embarrassed.

Xiao Jinan stood up and said, "Then you should have a good rest. I will bring you dinner. By the way, can you eat roasted rabbit?"

As if thinking of the people who got hurt because of catching rabbits, Xiao Jinan was a little unhappy again: "You can only eat the roasted rabbit this time. Even if Doctor Xu doesn't let you eat it, you should secretly eat a bite, because you will never eat roasted rabbit again."

"Puff," Tao Yanyan couldn't help laughing outside and said, "Jin'an, you can still eat if you want to. Commander Gu can't be bitten by a snake every time he catches a rabbit. You can't give up eating because of choking."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinan ran to the outside of the screen and hugged Tao Yanyan's thighs: "Really? If you get bitten this time, you won't get bitten next time?"

Tao Yanyan said patiently: "This is an accident. Maybe I just happened to run into a snake. Next time I won't get bit if I don't run into one. I just need to be more careful next time."

Gu Yi listened to Lady Tao patiently explaining to the little prince in a gentle tone, and couldn't help but think of the way his stepmother treated him.

Although they are not biological children, one is like a spring breeze while the other is like a freezing cold wind. There is a world of difference between them.

He couldn't help but look at the unrelated mother and son through the screen, feeling bitter in his heart.
