Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

Upon hearing this, the emperor took the old Marquis of Pingyang's writing brush from Gu Yanzhou.

The letter has turned yellow due to age.

But because it was properly preserved, the words on it were not affected at all and are still clear.

The emperor knew something about Gu Yanzhou's life experience. After reading the letter, his brows slightly frowned.

Gu Yanzhou was a man of such stature that he did not miss the expression on the emperor's face.

"The old Marquis of Pingyang was originally a military commander who followed the emperor's ancestors to fight. Now the Marquis of Pingyang also holds military power. If you inherit the title and the military power in your hands, even if I agree, the ministers in the court will definitely disagree."

The emperor held the letter in his hand and felt troubled.

"If so, I am willing to hand over the military power in my hands," Gu Yanzhou had already anticipated the emperor's concerns.

“General Xuanwu in the court is in his middle age, upright and incorruptible, and has his own way of marching and fighting. Your Majesty can hand over the military power in my hands to him.

"Okay, but the army still needs you. You will hand over two-thirds of your military power so that you can continue to stay in the army and handle military affairs."

The emperor listened to Gu Yanzhou's suggestion, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will announce this matter to the public tomorrow morning.

The emperor knew Gu Yanzhou's temper and stopped trying to persuade him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support," Gu Yanzhou bowed to the emperor.

"Okay, there's no need to be so formal between us."

When the emperor was still a prince, the late emperor intended to train him to be the next heir, so he sent him to the military camp secretly for training.

The two men became acquainted with each other as a result. They were only fifteen or sixteen years old. They trained together and fought together in battle. Their relationship was like that of a king and his subject, but also more like friends.

"What happened to your grandmother? I haven't heard that the old lady is seriously ill!"

"It was a sudden poisoning and we are still investigating," Gu Yanzhou told the truth without deliberately concealing anything.

After all, after collecting evidence of Xu's murder of his mother, the family members of the court officials who committed crimes would still need to be tried by the emperor.

Gu Yanzhou was naturally not afraid of being found out by the emperor.

"Even if the old lady is well again, she is still in danger. You have to get her out."

The emperor was two years older than Gu Yanzhou, and he couldn't help but worry about Gu Yanzhou.

"That's what I'm thinking of, and I'm still thinking of a solution."

"Your Majesty, Doctor Song is here," Liu Sheng's appearance interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Dr. Song is here. I will take my leave."

"Go quickly!" The emperor raised his arm, signaling Gu Yanzhou to go quickly.

Outside the door, Doctor Song was wondering why the emperor didn't let him in after calling him over.

But suddenly he saw Gu Yanzhou walking out of the room, and he immediately understood.

Although he was in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he still heard about the affairs of the court.

General Gu was a close minister to the emperor.

"General Gu, have you made all the arrangements and are here to see me?"

"That's right. Doctor Song, please come with me."

Gu Yanzhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is worthy of being the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, his mind is really meticulous.

On the way, Gu Yanzhou explained the old lady's condition to Doctor Song.

"Doctor Song, I have another favor to ask of you. Please do not tell anyone else in the mansion about my grandmother's poisoning. Just follow the diagnosis of the resident doctor Xu."

"I understand," Doctor Song stroked his beard subconsciously and nodded to show his understanding.

After going in and out of the palace, it was already evening when Gu Yanzhou arrived at Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion.

When Gu Yanzhou took Doctor Song to the old lady's courtyard, the Pingyang Marquis' family was having dinner there.

Gu Yanzhou raised his eyes and looked around, and saw Gu Huixuan holding chopsticks and unconsciously picking rice in the bowl.

The rest of the people were not affected by the old lady at all and were working hard to eat.

They are indeed a heartless family.

Gu Yanzhou took Doctor Song and walked around a few people and went straight to the old lady's bedroom.

Doctor Song had no grudges against the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. When he passed by a few people, he nodded to the Pingyang Marquis as a greeting.

Xu, who was having dinner, stood up from her seat suddenly when she saw that Gu Yanzhou really invited Doctor Song.

His eyes were fixed on Doctor Song, and he could feel his heart pounding inside.

I have to pretend to be calm on the surface.

When Marquis Pingyang saw Doctor Song coming in, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed him into the old lady's bedroom.

"It's over, it's all over. What should I do?" Xu suddenly felt weak all over.

"Mother," Gu Yunting reminded Xu when he saw her losing control of herself.

"Our son is here to help us." Gu Yunting whispered in a voice that both of them could hear to comfort Xu.

After saying that, he followed her into the old lady's bedroom.

Gu Huixuan was worried about the old lady and did not have time to think about the strange behavior of his mother and second brother. He followed Gu Yunting into the bedroom.

Xu was the only one left at the table, still digesting what Doctor Song had said.

That bitch died, and she became the wife of Marquis Pingyang as she wished, managing the huge Pingyang Mansion with great glory.

Why did this old man have to raise that little bitch's son and ruin her good deeds? Her son is now one step closer to inheriting the title.

Xu's well-maintained hands pressed down on the dining table so hard that her nails flew out due to the force.

As the old lady's daughter-in-law, she had to go over and show concern.

Xu forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart.

Only then did he notice his bleeding nails, and he crossed his hands and covered them with a handkerchief.

Trying hard to maintain an expression on his face, he walked into the bedroom with a nervous mood.

It just so happened that Doctor Song had just finished examining the old lady.

"The old lady is in a very weak condition, so I'll prescribe a prescription for you to use for two days. The rest is up to fate."

Hearing this, Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly asked someone to bring pen and ink to Doctor Song to write the prescription.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Xu returned to his previous attitude.

"Thank you, Doctor Song."

Gu Yunting, who was standing aside, became suspicious.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

Doctor Song wrote the prescription and handed it directly to Gu Yanzhou without going through anyone else.

"General Gu, the medicinal materials in our Sizhentang are all top-quality. You can go to our pharmacy to get the medicine, which can also guarantee the efficacy of the medicine." Doctor Song said to Gu Yanzhou meaningfully.

"Okay, I'll send someone to the Fourth Clinic to get the medicine."

Gu Yanzhou called Rong Xin and asked him to go get the medicine himself and send Doctor Song away at the same time.

"Then I'll take my leave," Doctor Song said, and then he followed Rong Xin out.

Gu Yanzhou stayed here to look after the old lady, waiting for Rong Xin to bring the medicine.

"Brother, grandma will be fine, right?"

After Doctor Song left, Gu Huixuan and the other young men could no longer hold back. With red eyes, he walked to the bedside and squatted in front of the old lady's bed, as if he could find a glimmer of hope in Gu Yanzhou.
