Chapter 289 - Only 3 years at most
"Your Highness, this person tried to break into the military camp but was stopped by our subordinates." After he finished speaking, he pointed at Gu Liuqing who was standing on the horse.
Gu Qinghong looked in the direction of Bingwei's finger, his breath suddenly choked, he quickly took a few steps forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Qing'er, is that you?"
"Sister... I'm really tired." After he finished speaking, he fell off the horse. Fortunately, Gu Qinghong caught him in time and saved him from getting injured.
"What are you still standing there for? Come over and help. Then send someone to call the army physician! Hurry!" Gu Qinghong shouted with red eyes. How could his Qing'er become like this after just a few days of being away? He was in his prime but his hair turned white in an instant. What kind of injury had he suffered?
Standing beside the bed, Gu Qinghong looked at the pale person on the bed with a worried look on his face, and then looked at the sweaty imperial physician from time to time, "Imperial Physician Li, how is the emperor's health?"
"Princess, forgive me for being frank, but the Kung Fu that His Majesty practiced when he was young was quite overbearing. Now his muscles, bones and internal organs have all been damaged to varying degrees. In addition, excessive worry and sadness have caused his hair to turn white in his prime. I estimate that..." Imperial Doctor Li clasped his fists and was about to speak.
"But it doesn't matter!"
"I'm afraid it will only be three years at most." After he finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Gu Qinghong.
Gu Qinghong's body swayed violently and he took two steps back, shaking his head in disbelief. How could Qing'er's body be so damaged? He looked very strong! What do you mean, only three years at most!
In a fit of anger, Gu Qinghong invited all the imperial physicians who accompanied the army, but the result made her even more disappointed, because what Imperial Physician Li said was still the deadline, and some other imperial physicians said that there were only two years left.
"Get out, everyone. Try to prescribe the best medicine for the emperor. And don't let any news of this leak out, otherwise all nine generations of your clan will be killed!" Gu Qinghong ordered harshly, and the imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground were so scared that they kept kowtowing and swearing.
"Sister, don't waste your energy. I know the condition of my body well." Gu Liuqing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes calm as if nothing had happened. Then he raised his chin slightly to signal the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground to leave quickly.
After the doctors left, Gu Liuqing took out a few crumpled papers from his bosom and handed them to Gu Qinghong, coughing lightly and saying, "Sister, take a look at these first."
Gu Qinghong looked at it calmly at first, but when he saw the second and third pages, his hands began to tremble. He really couldn't imagine that in less than half a year, Nanyue's economy and military strength had recovered to this point. If they continued to waste time, the only one who would suffer would be Chu Nan.
"Qing'er, what are your plans?" Gu Qinghong asked with a frown.
"Sister, let's leave a small group of people here and harass them from time to time. Then let half of the people return to Chunan with great fanfare, and we will lead the other half to secretly march towards Dongchu."
After Gu Liuqing rested, Gu Qinghong inspected the various camps for him. During the journey, she kept thinking, isn't the military token of Lanling 106 Cavalry in Qing'er's hands? Why can someone else mobilize it? Are those black-clothed men who rescued Feng Muyan and Song Yunli that day really Lanling 106 Cavalry?
"Princess, the spy has sent a letter via carrier pigeon. Please take a look."
Gu Qinghong took out the note from the pigeon leg cage and unfolded it hurriedly. His brows furrowed as soon as he saw it, and his chest felt uncomfortable as if a breath was taken out. How could he be so careless? Should he send someone to rescue him?
During dinner, Gu Qinghong was absent-minded and poked his face with chopsticks several times, which made Gu Liuqing frown.
"Sister, what happened to you? Weren't you fine at noon?"
