Chapter 149 No Different from a Eunuch
Perhaps his mother knew his background from the beginning.
From the moment his mother stopped urging him to study, she was planning to give up on him.
These days, he slowly figured out many things.
His mother was strict with him before, but she really cared about him.
Later, his mother changed. She no longer forced him to study, but just said nice words to coax him and allowed him to become more and more arrogant and become a playboy.
From that moment on, his mother knew that he was not her biological son.
Gu Yu...
Why was it Gu Yu?
Why is Gu Yu the mother's son?
Gu Yu must be very happy now, as he can get all the love from his mother.
"Zheng Qi! Go to the kitchen to help after sweeping the floor! Don't be lazy." The housekeeper came over and called Gu Yu to help in the kitchen.
Gu Huan glanced at Zheng Dan's room, then turned and left.
At this moment, Su Yuan was taking Zheng Dan's pulse.
Zheng Dan had blood clots in her head, which affected her nerves, causing her to become mentally retarded.
The only way to cure Zheng Dan is to make the blood stasis disappear.
The easiest way to remove blood clots is to perform a craniotomy. Unfortunately, there was no sterile environment in ancient times, so craniotomy could not be performed.
She could only use conservative methods, such as acupuncture, to stimulate the acupoints and disperse the blood stasis.
This method will take a long time to be effective, but it is the only way available now.
"What's the matter? Madam Gu, is there still hope for Baoer?" Tan asked anxiously.
Su Yuan nodded: "The prince still has a chance to recover, but... it will take a long time, maybe a year or two. I wonder if Madam..."
"Sure! As long as Baoer can recover, no matter how long it takes, I can accept it." Tan spoke before Su Yuan finished speaking.
What is a year or two?
As long as Zheng Dan can get better, it's fine.
Su Yuan: "Okay, then I will start treating the prince today. I will come to the Marquis' Mansion every seven days. After three months, I will prescribe some medicine for the prince.
Perhaps within half a year, the prince will be able to recover."
Hearing this, Tan was overjoyed. She bowed respectfully to Su Yuan and said, "Thank you, Madam Gu, for putting aside past grudges and being willing to help me."
Su Yuan pursed her lips slightly, "A doctor's heart is kind, Madam Zheng, there's no need to be so polite."
Su Yuan gave Zheng Dan acupuncture and ended after half an hour.
Tan originally wanted to keep Su Yuan at her house for dinner, but Su Yuan refused. She had to go back home to have dinner with Gu Yu.
Gu Yu has already started his rest and will return to the academy in early February next year.
"Mrs. Gu, if you want to take Gu Huan away, I won't stop you." Tan said.
Although Gu Huan is not Su Yuan's biological son, she has raised him for ten years. Su Yuan must be reluctant to part with Gu Huan.
Since she couldn't bear to let him go, she let Su Yuan take Gu Huan away.
Su Yuan: ...
Don't!
Gu Huan still has a chance to survive in the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.
Returning to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion...
She didn't want to see a murderous enemy hanging around in front of her.
"No need! Now the prince of Zhennan Marquis' Mansion is Yu'er, and I don't want to make Yu'er sad." Su Yuan explained.
Tan was slightly stunned, and then she understood.
Su Yuan didn't want to take Gu Huan back home.
Fine! Then let Gu Huan continue to atone for his sins in the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.
"In that case, I won't make things difficult for Madam Gu." Tan said with a smile.
Su Yuan nodded, got on the carriage and returned to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion.
……
At the end of December, Cheng Liang rushed back.
The second day after he returned to Kyoto, Su Yuan came to visit him.
But before he could be happy, he learned that those who came with Su Yuan also included Princess Jing'an and the young princess Li Yueyao.
He knew what Princess Jing'an wanted to do and was very unhappy.
He had no plans to marry, let alone Li Yueyao.
When Cheng Lang entered the main hall, Su Yuan and the other two were drinking tea inside.
Cheng Lang paid his respects to Princess Jing'an, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness."
Princess Jing'an smiled and said, "You are welcome, my lord! Please take a seat."
Cheng Lang sat down and looked up at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan looked at him and lowered her head guiltily.
She had no right to refuse. The more she refused, the more it seemed that she had some hidden relationship with Cheng Lang.
So, she had no choice but to come.
"I wonder what brings you here, Your Highness?" Cheng Lang asked directly.
Princess Jing'an was not in a hurry either. She first talked about Su Yuan.
"I've come here specifically to act as a peacemaker. I heard there's some grudge between the Duke and the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan. Could you two, for my sake, shake hands and make peace?"
Cheng Lang looked at Su Yuan again, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Su Yuan stood up and said, "Brother, I was young and ignorant before, and I hurt your feelings. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold the same view with me."
Cheng Lang agreed, "Yuan'er, what are you talking about? Let the past be the past. From now on... we will still be brother and sister."
Princess Jing'an smiled broadly, "That's right. There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between siblings. You two don't have to stay away from each other forever."
Cheng Lang bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
After resolving the feud between Su Yuan and Cheng Lang, Princess Jing'an asked Cheng Lang, "Duke, after the New Year, you will be thirty. Why don't you get married? What are your reasons?"
Cheng Lang: ...
Princess Jing'an asked a very direct question.
What does it have to do with Princess Jing'an whether he gets married or not?
"To be honest with you, Your Highness, I... have my own difficulties!" Cheng Lang sighed.
Princess Jing'an looked surprised. She asked, "What's your reason?"
Could it be that Cheng Liang really has some hidden illness?
If that were the case, she couldn't let her daughter marry Cheng Lang.
Her daughter had suffered once and could not suffer a second time.
"Your Highness, this is my privacy, Your Highness..." Cheng Lang had an expression that was difficult to speak.
Princess Jing'an was even more curious, "Does the Duke... have any hidden illness?"
Cheng Lang sighed again, "I was once seriously injured on the battlefield. Although I survived, I am no different from a eunuch. This is why I have never wanted to marry.
Please, Your Highness, keep this a secret for me. I don't want to become a laughing stock among the people."
Upon hearing this, Princess Jing'an took a deep breath. It was true!
She said, Cheng Lang has such good conditions, why hasn't he gotten married yet?
It turned out to be...
Princess Jing'an was a little embarrassed, but she felt more sympathy for Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang also wanted to defend his country, so he ended up like this.
As the eldest princess of Dongyu, she should indeed admire Cheng Lang.
Admirable as she is, she would never sacrifice her daughter's happiness.
"Don't worry, Duke. I won't tell anyone about what happened today, and Yao'er and...the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan won't tell anyone either." Princess Jing'an promised.
