Peerless Physician: The Path of a Foolish Eldest Daughter's Rise to Power

The Third Prince, Chu Yize, entered the room.

After the four people in the room bowed to Chu Yize, Chu Yize returned the bow.

"General Gu, Aunt Yang, I have something to discuss with you today."

Why does my mother call him "Auntie"? Gu Xinyue was puzzled.

"Husband, you two talk, let's go outside." After saying that, Yang Ziwei led Gu Xinyue with one hand and Gu Hui with the other and went out.

Upon entering Gu Xinyue's room, it was warm and cozy.

"Moon, thank you, thank you for finding Father, thank you for the gift for Mother, Mother likes it very, very much."

"Mother, why does the Third Prince call you Aunt Yang?" Gu Xinyue asked, voicing her doubts.

"The Third Prince's mother, Ling Xue, is the eldest daughter of the Ling family and is now Consort Ling. Our two families were old friends and played together since childhood. I used to call her Sister Xue'er, and she called me Sister Ziwei. She was five years older than me, and it was Sister Xue'er who taught me to play the zither. The Ling family raised her to be the matriarch of the family, and she also hoped to be with her husband for life."

Yang Ziwei patted Gu Hui's head and continued, "But things didn't go as planned. The then-Crown Princess, now the Empress Dowager, personally went to the mansion to propose marriage, and the Ling family had no choice but to agree. Less than a year after Sister Xue'er got married, Lord Ling requested to be transferred to a post outside the capital, and the whole family moved away. After her marriage, we had much less contact. Later, your father and I got engaged, and Sister Xue'er became the Crown Prince's concubine. She said we shouldn't contact each other anymore, because she was afraid that the Gu family would have military power, and she had a prince. We would either be involved in the power struggle or be used as pawns. So we didn't contact each other for a long time."

Gu Xinyue thought that Consort Ling was a wise person who lived life with great clarity. Looking at her mother, who seemed lost in thought, she was probably reminiscing about the happy days she had spent with Consort Ling.

After exchanging glances, Gu Hui and Gu Xinyue waited quietly for Yang Ziwei.

Jixiang came to report that the master and the third prince had gone to the study, thus breaking Yang Ziwei's reverie.

In the study, Gu Siming spread out a sheet of paper, preparing to draw. Chu Yize held a drawing in his hand, a portrait of a man.

Gu Siming said, "Your drawings of this person don't quite capture his likeness, so I'll draw him."

“Our people, during the interrogation, did not know the man’s background; the people on the street were carrying out their tasks according to instructions and did not know the man’s identity.”

"He's not from the Great Leap Forward. He used to come and interrogate me frequently, but he hasn't come to see me for almost three years. I don't know where he went."

When Gu Siming drew the person, Chu Yize was amazed by his future father-in-law's high talent for painting. No wonder Old Master Yang was willing to let him be his son-in-law. It turned out that he was not a warrior. He wrote very well. Chu Yize had seen him write letters to his soldiers in the military camp.

"General, this is the clothing of the Cangyun Kingdom."

"Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps they're trying to mislead us."

“I’ll send people to investigate; with this portrait, it’ll be much easier.”

"Has the poison in your body been neutralized?"

"It's fixed. Gu Xinyue helped me fix it."

"My daughter. You know her?"

"I met her in the Deadly Forest in Shihou Town, Suxian County. At that time, I was still suffering from the poison and had also been afflicted by the Calamity of Freedom. She saved me when I was on the verge of death."

"Then what is your purpose in giving me the red-tasseled spear and sword?"

"General, I am simply giving this to you. A good horse deserves a good saddle, and I think the fine iron material of this weapon is excellent, making it the perfect match for you."

He was a little nervous. This was a fine iron chain used to restrain Gu Siming. He thought it would make a good weapon. As long as Gu Siming didn't know, he wouldn't care about the bad luck.

Gu Siming picked up the red-tasseled spear and examined it carefully. Both the shaft and the spearhead were made of the finest materials. He weighed it in his hand, then placed it on the table. Next, he picked up the sword, which was also excellent.

While he was imprisoned in the secret room, he thought that if he got out, he would use that fine iron chain to forge a gun and a sword. Unexpectedly, the kid actually forged them in six or seven days.

Looking at Chu Yize's expression, he realized that Chu Yize had figured it out, but he wouldn't say it. Others might find it unlucky, but he didn't think so. He wanted to remember that these humiliations were due to his emotional outbursts and his foolishness in getting caught.

"You're not allowed to have designs on Xinyue. If you have such thoughts, you should give up now."

"General, I can't rest anymore. I love her; she has taken up residence in my heart."

"Does the Emperor know about this? Does Consort Ling know about it?"

"As everyone knows, my mother supports me, and my father neither opposes nor agrees."

"You are a prince, you two are not suitable?"

"why?"

"Although you are very outstanding, I hope that Xinyue's husband will only love her for the rest of his life, so you two are not suitable."

"That's fine. I swear I'll only have one wife for the rest of my life, and only Xin Yue as my woman, otherwise..."

"Alright, if Xin Yue doesn't want to marry you, you're not allowed to bother her. If she agrees, you'll have to deal with the Emperor yourself."

“Alright, I will come to propose marriage after Madam Gu’s three-year mourning period is over.”

"No, you're dreaming. Wait until Xinyue is 18 before you propose, and then we'll get married when she's 20."

"This, this..." Chu Yize was shocked as he listened to the marriage proposal at 18 and the wedding at 20. How could this be? Other people's daughters had children at 16, and those who were still unmarried at 18 were considered old maids.

"Don't be shocked. I'm going to make up for the missing five years and let Xinyue live a carefree life."

"..." What could he say? He dared not refute Gu Siming's words.

"Go back?" If Chu Yize weren't a prince, he would definitely agree, but he is a prince. He originally respected princes and wanted to marry his daughter, so he didn't want to give him a good face. If he didn't let him know his temper now, he might become arrogant and ignorant if he became his son-in-law in the future.

"General, I would like to ask Xinyue to help me treat someone."

"Ask Xin Yue about this. She can save them if she wants to, but you can't force her if she doesn't."

"well."

Gu Xinyue looked at her mother and said, "Mother, just say what you want to say. Don't keep it to yourself."

Do you know the Third Prince?

Gu Xinyue was about to speak when Xia He came to report that the Third Prince had come out.

Yang Ziwei led Gu Hui and said, "Come on, let's go find your father."

As soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw Chu Yize standing in the yard. When she saw them, she quickly said, "Aunt Yang, I need to talk to Xinyue about something."

"You two talk. We'll go see your father." Yang Ziwei's lips curved into a smile; she was in a good mood. The Third Prince was quite something, and he was Xue'er's child. He was so handsome; Xue'er could never raise a bad child.

"Aren't you cold?" Gu Xinyue asked him. "Let's go inside. It's warm inside."

Hearing this, Chu Yize felt better. But he didn't dare go in, afraid that Gu Xinyue's parents would think he was a dissolute playboy who didn't know his place.

"I'm leaving now, will you see me off?"

"it is good".

"Xinyue, you are the only wife in my life. I hope that the two of us can live together without anyone else disturbing us."

"I know what's wrong with this person."

"Can you treat someone for me tomorrow?"

"it is good".

"I can't go to the lantern festival with you tonight, please be careful."

Gu Xinyue nodded.
