Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

He invited Gu Qinghe for two reasons: one was for the fetus in Aunt Liu's belly, and the other was for Yao Fangzhi.

Before leaving, King Wu specifically told him to be wary of Gu Qinghe, and if possible, to get rid of this person as soon as possible.

But Yao Shiliang never took Gu Qinghe to heart.

He is different from King Wu. King Wu is worried about Lu Zhiyao, but Gu Qinghe doesn't have any leverage over him, and he doesn't think anything can threaten him.

Naturally, I won’t be too anxious.

If Gu Qinghe really posed a threat to him, it would not be too late to get rid of her then.

But now standing next to this man is Shao Wei, an absolutely stubborn character. Yao Shiliang would rather offend those nagging civil servants in the court than offend Shao Wei.

It would be fine if Shao Wei was really a reckless man who only knew how to lead troops in battle, but this man was different from other generals and had some brains.

Unless it was necessary, he was unwilling to confront Shao Wei.

What's more, there is a shortage of military generals in the court nowadays. If he really offends Shao Wei, His Majesty will only protect Shao Wei instead of him.

After realizing all this, Yao Shiliang naturally didn't want to be a knife for King Wu anymore.

After Gu Qinghe arrived at the Yao Mansion, he was led into Aunt Liu's courtyard.

Unlike last time, Aunt Liu's residence was moved from the side courtyard to a courtyard very close to Yao Shiliang's study.

As soon as he entered the room, Yao Shiliang came out of the bedroom. He looked dignified without being angry. His eyes fell on Gu Qinghe's face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long while, he walked towards Gu Qinghe and said, "Meng Jun has not had a good appetite these days. The imperial physician came to check the pulse and said that the fetus is too weak. I would like to trouble Doctor Gu to see if he can take care of it."

Gu Qinghe nodded and went in carrying the medicine box.

Aunt Liu was lying on the bed, and she looked a lot thinner since the last time they met.

Seeing Gu Qinghe, she tilted her head and turned away. She didn't mind Yao Shiliang following behind her at all. She said in a cold voice, "Are all of you doctors so snobbish?"

She glared at Gu Qinghe coldly, "Last time I told you that I didn't want this child, but you were unwilling to prescribe me an abortion pill. But now Yao Shiliang asked you to help me keep the baby, but you came without saying a word. It turns out that you doctors don't care about the patients' demands, but only care about money. If that's the case, why do you brag about being so selfless?"

Yao Shiliang frowned, but did not scold Aunt Liu. He just walked over to her side and tucked the corner of the quilt for her. "I told you that you have to give birth to this child whether you want to or not. You'd better be obedient to avoid suffering more."

When Gu Qinghe was taking Aunt Liu's pulse, she was met with a resentful look. She felt helpless, but she didn't have much sympathy.

Yao Shiliang values ​​the fetus in her belly so much. If someone really prescribed abortion pills for her, Yao Shiliang would never let that person go.

There is no way she didn't know this. She blamed others for not helping her and not following her wishes, but she didn't think that the price of helping her might be her life.

After writing the prescription silently, Gu Qinghe handed it to Yao Shiliang, "Being depressed will indeed have some negative effects on the fetus in your belly, but more importantly, Aunt Liu is too thin now. If this continues, the child will definitely not be saved."

Yao Shiliang said: "Then you can prescribe some nourishing prescriptions for her."

Gu Qinghe shook his head. "The child is only two or three months old now, and there is still a long time to go. If Aunt Liu really doesn't want him to be born, then it will be useless even if she takes a lot of medicine. If possible, Lord Yao should have a good discussion with Aunt Liu."

I don't know whether Yao Shiliang took her words to heart, but Gu Qinghe had done what she should do. She glanced at Aunt Liu, lowered her eyes and walked out.

Yao Shiliang sent her out, "I heard that Doctor Gu will follow General Shao to Chizhou in two days, right?"

"I haven't visited a few relatives in Chizhou for a long time. I have nothing to do, so I'll just go and visit them."

When they reached the door, Gu Qinghe stopped and smiled, "You don't have to see me off, sir. If you need anything, just ask someone to call me."

"Doctor Gu."

Yao Shiliang finally spoke up and stopped pretending. He looked at Gu Qinghe who turned around and said in a deep voice, "Doctor Gu should know my son who didn't live up to his expectations, right?"

Gu Qinghe: "I heard something, sir, is there something going on?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask Doctor Gu if he has seen him in the past two days."

"That's true. I've never seen him. I've been too busy these past few days. There are still many things to deal with at the Beijing Medical Hall. The old lady at the Duke's Mansion is still ill and hasn't recovered. I usually stay at home grinding herbs and never go out."

Yao Shiliang nodded, "If that's the case, then I'd like to trouble Doctor Gu to ask General Shao if he has seen my son in the past two days."

"Okay, if I see General Shao, I will definitely ask him for you."

Watching Gu Qinghe's figure gradually walking away, Yao Shiliang's face became gloomy.

This girl was young but looked so old that he had no idea whether Yao Fangzhi's disappearance had anything to do with her.

After exhaling the foul air from his chest, Yao Shiliang continued to send people to search secretly.

Thinking that the trouble might be caused by King Wu, he went to the study and wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Lizhou and hand it to King Wu.

……

The door that had just been closed creaked open again. Aunt Liu didn't even bother to raise her eyelids, "Get out."

"I asked the kitchen to prepare some almond crisps. Would you like some?"

A low voice was heard, and Aunt Liu finally opened her eyes.

She turned her head to look at Yao Shiliang, her eyes teasing, "Don't waste your time. I will never give birth to this child. You should have heard it just now. There is still a long time. This child is in my belly. If I am determined not to want it, no one can do anything to me."

"Even if I took He Yun's life, you wouldn't care?"

This time, Aunt Liu was silent for a long time. After a long while, she laughed at herself, her eyes slightly moist, "You don't have to threaten me with him anymore. Since he has completely given up on me, why should I care whether he lives or dies?"

She looked forward to it day by day and suffered every night. Her only hope was He Yun.

But after all her efforts, what she finally got was the news that He Yun had left the capital.

Sure enough, the men's confident words were all lies, and none of these people's words could be trusted.

If he really wants to kill her, then just do it. Her life is already so hard, why should she care about other people's life or death?

Aunt Liu finally thought it through.

Not afraid of her hysteria, but afraid of her being so calm, Yao Shiliang fell silent.

The stalemate ended with Yao Shiliang's surrender. He sighed, and his straight back finally collapsed. "Give birth to this child, and I'll let you go."
