Chapter 43 - Chapter 42 Keep Your Distance

Zhao San was extremely anxious. "But the young master's injury, if we delay any further, what shall we do?"

Liu Zhao's face was calm. "It's Alright!"

After saying this, he picked up his pen and started writing.

Zhao San didn't dare to disturb him and could only stand aside, as quiet as a chicken.

Liu Zhao finished writing a page, folded the paper twice, and handed it to Zhao San, "Give this to Miss Gu, and wait for her reply."

Zhao San was full of questions.

Liu Zhao said: "Describing the condition in letters is not intuitive enough, but it saves a lot of trouble."

Zhao San understood immediately, "I will go see Miss Gu right away."

Liu Zhao reminded him, "After Miss Gu has read it, remember to destroy the letter."

"I understand."

Zhao San took the letter to the Puxian Temple next door and knocked on the door.

Qing Zhu opened the door with a crack. "Guard Zhao?"

Zhao San nodded. "Excuse me, is Miss Gu asleep? I have something important to discuss with her."

"My young lady hasn't rested yet. Guard Zhao, please wait a moment. The servant will go and report to my miss."

Gu Jiu was a little surprised to learn that Zhao San was looking for her.

Then she thought of the young man who had not shown up and the injuries on his body. Could something have happened to him?

Is the injury getting worse?

Gu Jiu immediately said, "Please ask Guard Zhao to come in."

"yes!"

Qing Zhu came to the gate and opened it. "Guard Zhao, my young lady invites you in."

"Thank you!"

Zhao San followed Qing Zhu into the house, looked around, and looked hesitant.

Gu Jiu knew it well and said, "Qing Mei, Qing Zhu, both of you go to the door and guard it."

"Miss?" Qing Mei was worried.

Gu Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's alright! Guard Zhao is my savior; I trust him."

Qing Mei had no choice but to walk out of the room with Qing Zhu and wait outside.

Zhao San's expression relaxed a little. "Thank you, Miss Gu."

Gu Jiu asked, "Guard Zhao came to see me late at night. Is there something wrong?"

Zhao San nodded but said nothing. He just took out the folded letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Jiu.

"My master asked me to pass it to you. Miss Gu, please read it and write back."

Gu Jiu reached out her hand, took the letter, unfolded it and read it, carefully, frowning slightly.

Zhao San became worried, "Is it serious?"

Gu Jiu nodded. "It is indeed very serious. The two prescriptions given before are no longer suitable, and the dosage needs to be increased. In addition, the wound also needs to be treated again."

"Is there any cure?" Zhao San asked nervously.

Gu Jiu looked at Zhao San and said affirmatively, "If the condition is true, it can be cured."

Zhao San immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Miss Gu."

Gu Jiu picked up the pen and prepared to rewrite the prescription.

Before she started writing, she suddenly remembered something.

"Guard Zhao, I'm wondering what your master name is."

"My master surname is Liu."

Last name, Liu?

The surname Liu was an uncommon surname in the Zhou Dynasty.

In addition to the royal family, it seems that a certain duke has the surname Liu, and the left prime minister of the current dynasty also has the surname Liu.

Could it be that this Mr. Liu was born in the Duke's Mansion? Or the Left Prime Minister's Mansion?

But who was the 'woman in white' who was dressed as a man that day?

I haven't heard that the Duke's Mansion and the Left Prime Minister's Mansion have any distinguished relatives in the northwest.

But judging from the appearance of the 'gentlewoman in white' who is dressed as a man, he must be someone very important.

With so many well-dressed guards, if you don't have sufficient status and position, you wouldn't dare to be so ostentatious.

If Mr. Liu next door is not from the Duke's Mansion or the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, could he be from some new noble family in the capital?

He can't be a relative of the royal family.

Gu Jiu shook his head. Royal family members were not allowed to leave the capital without imperial order.

She hasn't heard Lord Gu mention any royal relatives coming to the northwest recently.

Thinking about it this way, Master Liu is probably the son of some new noble family.

But why did Master Liu hide his identity and live in Tianmen Temple?

Avoid being seen?

Gu Jiu looked at Zhao San calmly.

How could a newly rising upstart have a master like Zhao San as his bodyguard?

What's more, Mr. Liu has not just one but a dozen expert guards like Zhao San around him.

That's really impressive.

The Gu family is also a family with a profound heritage, and there are only two or three guards like Zhao San.

Most guards can only intimidate ordinary soldiers. If they meet a real master, ten of them cannot defeat one.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but open her mind and think deeply about it.

Could it be that this Young Master Liu is really a relative of the royal family?

If Master Liu is really a member of the royal family, all the problems will have a reasonable explanation.

Young Master Liu left the capital without permission and secretly fled to the northwest, risking being discovered. He must have had some big plans.

So he had to hide his identity and live in Tianmen Temple instead of staying in the inn.

As for the identity of the 'young woman in white' who was dressed as a man that day, it is about to be revealed.

In the entire northwest, the only person who could have such a grand show was General Pei Ren, Marquis of Lu, and the General of the Western Expedition.

The young lady called Master Liu "cousin" and was most likely the daughter of the Marquis of Lu.

The daughter of Duke Lu is also in the northwest?

"Miss Gu?" Zhao San called softly.

Gu Jiu came to her senses instantly and avoided Zhao San's gaze.

Her heart was beating fast.

She didn't expect that when she opened her mind, she would discover such an incredible truth.

A relative of the royal family came secretly to the northwest, and the daughter of Pei Ren, Marquis of Lu, disguised herself to meet this relative of the royal family. Was there any deal going on?

Thinking that Lu Hou Pei Ren holds military power, it can't be...

Gu Jiu shook his head quickly, unable to think about it any further.

The more you know, the more dangerous it is.

Gu Jiu never forgot that when they first met, Zhao San made no secret of his murderous intent towards her.

It would be better for her to be an ordinary second-generation official caught up in a family feud.

What royal relative, daughter of Marquis Lu, has nothing to do with her.

Gu Jiu picked up her pen and rewrote two prescriptions. she also wrote a note of precautions.

She folded the letter and handed it to Zhao San. "Please pass it to your young master. The injury must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. If you are short of medicinal herbs, I have some here and I can sell some to you."

The first part made Zhao San nervous. The last part made Zhao San not know what expression to make.

Should we say that Miss Gu is materialistic, or should we say that it is wise to draw a clear line between the two?

Gu Jiu smiled knowingly and said, "Please forgive me, Guard Zhao. Although my father is the governor of Jinzhou, I am an out-and-out poor person.

My stepmother is the head of the household, and it is not easy for me to get some top-quality medicinal herbs from the storehouse.

The medicinal materials are used less and less, I am poor and have low aspirations, I really can't afford to give them away. If your son needs it, I can sell some to you."

Zhao San said, "I understand. Thank you Miss Gu. I will come and bother you again when I need you."

Gu Jiu nodded slightly, "After Guard Zhao returns, please treat your master wound as soon as possible."

Zhao San nodded, said goodbye and left.

Gu Jiu let out a long sigh and felt like she was about to break out in a cold sweat.

From now on, you must avoid the meditation courtyard next door and don't have any contact with that Mr. Liu.

At this moment, in Gu Jiu's eyes, Liu Zhao was like a bomb, a super bomb.

Once it exploded, the impact would be so wide that Gu Jiu was worried that she would be dead.

Qing Mei and Qing Zhu walked in.

Gu Jiu told the two, "Keep your distance from Guard Zhao and don't have too much contact with him."

"Girl, has something happened?" Qing Mei was a little worried.

Gu Jiu said: "Their master and servant status is unclear. If our excessive contact with them affects the master's career, that would be bad."

The two maids responded in unison: "We understand."
