After the general fell ill

As soon as it fell, footsteps sounded at the gate of the courtyard.

A figure who was eight feet tall and slightly taller than Su Ce walked towards the courtyard with steady steps, stepping through the fine sunlight leaking from the leaves of sweet-scented osmanthus.

This person was dressed in dark purple court clothes, dark cloud boots, and a golden crown on his head. He walked with an awe-inspiring aura, enough to deter wolves, tigers, and leopards.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, a heroic boy.

Su Ce admired silently, his eyes were quiet and long, as if the time that traveled through seven years was concentrated at this moment.

He didn't need anyone to tell him the identity of this person, just looking at the other's familiar face with traces of youth, he wanted to raise the corner of his mouth and smile in relief.

I thought that I would miss it so far in this life.

I don't want Lin Yinhua to be bright, they will meet again one day.

Yang Yan, no, Gu Yan.

After Gu Yan pacified Lingnan in a soothing manner, he hurried back to Chang'an. After reporting the situation, he wanted to ask Xiao Zhuo about Su Ce.

Xiao Zhuo had expected his request long ago, and pretended to be mysterious and told him that everything would be revealed after returning to the mansion. Gu Yan thanked Shengen and left the palace after hearing this.

No one mentioned the matter of rewards between the monarch and his ministers. Although Gu Yan would not be in a situation where there is no seal or reward, but for many years, the monarch and his ministers have already had a tacit understanding that does not need to be said, even if there is a layer of national interests. With An Wei, Xiao Zhuo still trusts Gu Yan, and there is no need to doubt Gu Yan's loyalty.

When he was about to meet the person he was thinking about, Gu Yan whipped his horse and went straight to the General's Mansion when he left the palace, but He Liang stopped him before leaving the palace gate. Gu Yan guessed what he might say, and his heart ached It's not bad for a day or two for Tao to clean up the dust for you.

Unexpectedly, He Liang actually asked a question that he could not answer.

"Congratulations to the great general on his housewarming! Don't rush to leave, no matter how much you like the new house of the Holy Lord, it will be a while."

Seeing that Gu Yan was going to go around him again, He Liang stopped the other person's way quite familiarly, and asked: "Have you moved in the pile of things in the old house? And the servants, have you sent them? And... ..."

He Liang's words directly woke up Gu Yan, who was dazzled by joy, and he said loudly: "Qi Ming, thank you, I will treat you to a drink some other day."

"Drink." The sound of the two words gradually dissipated in the early morning mist of Chang'an as Gu Yan rode his horse farther and farther.

Seeing this, He Liang curled his lips and got on his horse to go home. He had just returned to Chang'an, so he had to get together with his family quickly.

Gu Yan dispatched a group of his personal soldiers from the army who came back from Qingzhou to temporarily serve as the guards of the general's mansion, and also entrusted someone to send the things of the old residence to the mansion as soon as possible. After everything was settled, he packed up and rushed to the mansion.

The mansion bestowed by the emperor is naturally good in everything, Gu Yan is not in the mood to appreciate it for the time being, he needs to meet the person promised by the emperor first.

The emperor kept his word, and Xiao Zhuo kept his word.

When Gu Yan walked into this courtyard full of green bamboos and green trees brimming with vitality, his eyes were immediately attracted by the tall and thin figure in the middle.

The person he misses still has a handsome face, although his hair is loose, but his temperament is better than before, Gu Yan couldn't help applauding and laughing for this reunion.

When he walked in, he realized that the other party's face was pale and decayed abnormally, he hesitated and said, "You..."

The soldier had been signaled to continue patrolling when he came in, and they were the only two standing face to face in the yard at this moment.

He actually wanted to ask what's the matter with you, but at this moment, he had a timid feeling of being close to home, and he didn't dare to say many things, for fear of disturbing the other party and breaking the tranquility at this time.

On the other hand, Su Ce saw that Gu Yan only uttered the word "you" and didn't continue for a long time, so he laughed and asked, "Is there any water?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan hurriedly ordered a soldier to boil water, then turned his head and said, "General Su, let's go into the room and chat."

He carefully chose a polite and soft tone. He always remembered the agreement he made with the other party seven years ago, but he didn't dare to ask the other party to also remember it in his heart.

After all, the situation was complicated at the time, and neither he nor Su Ce told each other their real names.

At that time, tall poplar trees were planted on both sides of the road in Zhuoguang County. When Su Ce asked his name, he had an idea to replace the word "Gu" and use "Yang Yan" as his own name to exchange with the other party.

His name can be said to be changed a little bit, but the name Su Ce told him has nothing to do with it.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan had to admire himself for being able to pinpoint Su Ce as Zhuoguang's old acquaintance back then.

It was only when Su Ce was leaning on Ba Bu's bed that Gu Yan stopped his thoughts of reminiscing.

"General, the water is ready." The soldier outside the door carried a large kettle and put it on the round table.

Gu Yan looked around the house for a week and didn't see a small container of water. Seeing that Su Ce's eyes had been glued to the pot of water since it was brought in, he immediately ran to the small kitchen to get a soup bowl.

After thanking Su Ce, he took the steaming soup bowl filled with water, and wanted to warm his hands by cupping the bowl, but unexpectedly, his body seemed to be deliberately against him.

Su Ce's trembling hands couldn't hold the soup bowl steadily, but fortunately Gu Yan took it again quickly, otherwise his hands would inevitably be burned red.

The pain that had been sleeping peacefully all night seemed to be awakened by this bowl of water. Su Ce was caught off guard, and was forced by the violent pain to chase after him and surrender.

Gu Yan had just placed the soup bowl on the low table beside the bed, and was about to bring over the pillows on the soft couch to make Su Ce more comfortable, when he turned around, he saw Su Ce coughing up blood painfully lying on the edge of the bed.

He shrank his pupils, threw the soft pillow directly on the bed, stepped over the threshold in two or three steps, and ordered to the left and right: "Go and invite Mr. Cao."

Mr. Cao's real name is Cao Shiren, and he was a military doctor who accompanied Gu Yan. He made a name for himself in the early years by hanging pots to help the world. Now that he has passed the age of ears, he is respected and called "Mr."

Gu Yan sat on the bed next to Su Ce, gently following his back.The knuckles of the spine under the broad palms can be seen clearly bulging even through the clothes. Gu Yan picked up the cold soup bowl again and said in a low voice: "General, rinse your mouth."

After receiving Su Ce's response of shaking his head and rejecting, Gu Yan followed the other party's wishes and put the bowl back on the low table.

At this moment, he noticed that besides the blood that Su Ce coughed up just now, there were some dried up red blood stains on the carpet in front of him.

What kind of disease did Su Ce suffer from? How could it be so serious?There hadn't been any rumors coming out before.

Gu Yan's dark eyes stared silently at Su Ce's side face covered with cold sweat. No wonder Su Ce would let Li Yi submit to Qin. No wonder Wang Fang, who had always been on the same side as Su Ce, would surrender directly. No wonder...

It was all because Su Ce was ill, so sick that no matter how powerful he himself was, he was unable to use it.

Gu Yan silently clenched his right fist in a place Su Ce couldn't see. No matter what the disease was, he would cure the other party.

Mr. Cao couldn't do it, so he went to invite the imperial physician.

Lord Yan can't rob someone with him.

7. Condition

"How much time do I have?"

Su Ce clutched the front of his chest with his right hand, and closed his eyes weakly. The ailment in his body that stirred up the situation seemed to have finally calmed down.

He slowly stopped coughing up blood, and leaned back gently. The moment he felt Gu Yan's arm, he instinctively tightened his nerves, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, letting go of his strength and leaning on Gu Yan's shoulder. superior.

His changes were naturally noticed by Gu Yan. Gu Yan put one hand around Su Ce, and took out a handkerchief with the other to gently wipe the corners of his mouth.

Su Ce quietly let him do what he did. The usually cold and solemn general gently embraced the man in his arms, his piercing eyes were replaced by sorrow, and anyone who saw this beautiful picture of the general would doubt his own eyes.

——I suspected that I had seen the illusion that Gu Yan was in love with the man in his arms.

Cao Shiren thought the same way when he came in.

He held the medicine box in his left hand, stroked his beard meaningfully with his right hand, and looked back and forth between the two of them before saying: "General."

After Gu Yan noticed that Cao Shiren came in, he stood up and said, "Sir, please sit down." After speaking, he turned around and put the soft pillow behind Su Ce's back so that he could lean on it more comfortably.

Cao Shiren observed Gu Yan's attitude towards the man with great interest. He had just arrived in Chang'an with He Liang, and he didn't know the identity of the man in front of him. However, he was explained loudly by the soldiers who rushed to him in a hurry.

He elongated his voice and said "oh--", and now he understood that it wasn't the general who was looking for him when he was sick, but the general's people who were looking for him when they were sick.

After Gu Yan cleaned up, Cao Shiren got up and stepped forward. When he felt his pulse, he restrained his teasing expression, and remained silent with a solemn expression.

Su Ce half-opened his eyes, and his eyes fell lightly on Gu Yan's dark cloud boots, casually guessing what this old Mr. Cao would say.

While Cao Shiren frowned and thought, Su Ce recalled his initial views on this disease.

From suppressing hatred to giving up recuperation, the imperial doctor's words turned over and over like the wheels of a cart.

As if confirming his thoughts, Cao Shiren said after careful consideration: "The general's condition has not healed for a long time, the blood stasis inside, and the residual poison has not been cleared, so he coughed up blood."

Every time Cao Shiren said something, Gu Yan frowned.

Su Ce listened attentively, thinking that these doctors might not all be teachers, and they could speak exactly what they said.

But Cao Shiren changed the subject and asked seriously: "May I ask if the general has overdosed on health-enhancing drugs in the past two years?"

Hearing this, Gu Yan stared at Su Ce sharply, saw him nod his head slightly, and only heard Cao Shiren continue to say: "The general is overworked and overworked, he became sick from overwork, the residual poison was not cleared, and he was seriously injured, resulting in physical loss."

"Can it be cured?" Gu
