He's just a stand-in

Liu Huaiqiu fed Gu Lichuan a whole pot of water, his lips were slightly swollen due to heavy use.

After feeding the last sip of water, he didn't care to wipe off the water stains on his thin lips with his backhand, and continued to stay by Gu Lichuan's side.

"Madam, the lord has given orders before, we should go." As early as the moment Gu Lichuan fainted, Xuanying should have taken Liu Huaiqiu away.

But when he saw Liu Huaiqiu's emotions were so agitated, he also understood Liu Huaiqiu's mood at the moment and never stepped forward.

When Liu Huaiqiu first came to Gu Lichuan's side, although some people in the mansion welcomed Liu Huaiqiu's arrival very much.

But for them, the people sent by Kang Wang must not be taken lightly.

He also secretly paid attention to Liu Huaiqiu.

After such a long time, nothing happened to Liu Huaiqiu.

He also felt relieved and regarded Liu Huaiqiu as the second master in the palace.

When something happened to the prince, he was also worried, and wanted to stay by his side all the time.

But he had to listen to the prince's orders.

He knew how deep the prince's affection for his wife was.

Perhaps in the eyes of the prince, the life of the entire palace is not as important as the safety of his wife.

He had to follow his prince's order to send their wives to the capital safely.

Liu Huaiqiu sat quietly beside Gu Lichuan's bed, didn't speak or move, just picked up the handkerchief and carefully wiped the thin sweat from Gu Lichuan's forehead.

Xuan Ying shouted again, "Madam, it's time for us to go back."

Liu Huaiqiu looked up at Xuanying, and asked lightly: "Did Gu Lichuan ask you to escort me away, that means you want to listen to me now?"

The shadow guards of the royal family have never been easy to have two masters, but Liu Huaiqiu did not say that he would recognize him as the master, but according to the prince's order, he really wanted to listen to Liu Huaiqiu.

Xuanying thought about it, felt that what Liu Huaiqiu said was reasonable, nodded and said: "Yes."

Liu Huaiqiu: "Since that's the case, I don't want to go back. You are here to guard Gu Lichuan honestly. I think you don't want to go either."

"After all, Gu Lichuan is your master. As a subordinate, you leave your master here and return to Beijing alone. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Gu Lichuan won't die, you just need to be honest. When he dies, I'll leave."

Liu Huaiqiu didn't mean anything else when he said this, he simply thought that Gu Lichuan would not die.

He wanted to watch Gu Lichuan wake up with his own eyes.

Xuanying was just a subordinate, so naturally he obeyed his master's orders.

Although his master is Gu Lichuan, but now he chooses to listen to Liu Huaiqiu's words, instead of persuading Liu Huaiqiu to leave with him, he hides again.

Because he also has selfishness.

He didn't want to abandon his master and leave alone.

-

Time passed by, Gu Lichuan was still unconscious, Liu Huaiqiu only wiped Gu Lichuan's sweat, and fed Gu Lichuan with water.

Soon, the night darkened.

The doctor and county magistrate also came in.

County magistrate: "My lord, let's have some dinner first."

Liu Huaiqiu shook his head and refused, "No, I'm not hungry."

The county magistrate didn't know how to persuade Liu Huaiqiu, so he could only order his servants to heat up the food for Liu Huaiqiu, and wait for Liu Huaiqiu to eat when he was hungry.

The doctor walked to Gu Lichuan's side, felt for Gu Lichuan's pulse, and then felt for Gu Lichuan's forehead.

The tense expression immediately became relaxed, "I feel that the prince's fever seems to have subsided a little, and the pulse is stronger than before. I think this medicine should be effective."

When Liu Huaiqiu heard what the doctor said, his dull eyes lit up, "Then why hasn't he woke up yet?"

The doctor pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "My lord, don't worry, the prince is still awake, it should be related to the black blood he spit out, and the prince must have hurt his heart."

"But it doesn't matter. The prince's pulse is going in a good direction. If he can't wake up tonight, he may wake up tomorrow."

Liu Huaiqiu had been hanging on his mind for a whole day, and finally let go of half of it, and continued to ask the question in his heart, "Then he drank so much poison before, will it have any impact on him in the future?"

"This..." The doctor was a little embarrassed, he hesitated, "I can't guarantee this right now, maybe there will be some root cause of the disease, but this will not be known until the prince wakes up."

"I have asked someone to boil the detoxification decoction. It should be ready soon. When the servants bring it over, you can continue to feed the prince to drink it. It should be of some use."

Liu Huaiqiu and Gu Lichuan have no scruples in front of outsiders, and many people know the relationship between Liu Huaiqiu and Gu Lichuan.

This doctor is not an idle person, he used to be an imperial physician, but he just couldn't stand the rules in the palace, let alone anyone in the palace bullying him, so he resigned as an imperial physician , travel around the world.

It's just that he had just stayed in Changbei County for a few days, when he encountered floods and plagues, and was directly trapped in Changbei County.

He couldn't get away, but when he saw the announcement from the yamen that he was looking for a doctor to treat the plague, he came here.

Who knew that such a big secret would be discovered.

But it's not a big deal for the two men to be together.

Anyway, Gu Lichuan is a prince, and sooner or later he will marry a princess, and it seems that it is not difficult to raise this adult by his side.

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the servant brought up the prepared antidote.

The soup was still a little hot, Liu Huaiqiu blew lightly, poured it into his mouth, and fed it to Gu Lichuan bit by bit.

The detox soup is much bitterer than water, Liu Huaiqiu just poured it into his mouth for the first time, his bitter face wrinkled together, but resisting the urge to vomit, he fed it into Gu Lichuan's mouth.

In the past in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Huaiqiu, who had to be coaxed when he was sick, and had to eat sweet preserves after drinking the medicine, unexpectedly fed Gu Lichuan all the bitter medicine in one gulp.

Before the doctor and the county magistrate left, he ordered Liu Huaiqiu to wipe Gu Lichuan's body, so that the temperature on Gu Lichuan's body would drop quickly, which would help Gu Lichuan wake up earlier.

After Liu Huaiqiu fed the medicine, he ordered his servants to bring up a bucket of water.

Then he untied Gu Lichuan's clothes one by one, and wiped Gu Lichuan's body carefully.

He and Gu Lichuan have been sharing the same bed for so long, but the two have never met each other honestly.

When Gu Lichuan bullied him, he just kissed him.

Once, Gu Lichuan got excited and put his hand into his collar, and before he could react, he quickly took it out again.

If Gu Lichuan hadn't taken out his hand at that time, maybe he would have lost his mind and let Gu Lichuan go.

But at this time Liu Huaiqiu didn't have any reverie.

His only thought now is to wake up Gu Lichuan quickly, if Gu Lichuan can wake up, he will do whatever he wants.

Although the doctor said that Gu Lichuan would wake up, he still couldn't let go of his waking up.

After Liu Huaiqiu wiped Gu Lichuan's body, he was so tired that he was covered in sweat.

But he didn't go to take a bath. Firstly, it was inconvenient to bathe here, and with Xuanying around, he was afraid that his identity as a man would be exposed, and secondly, he had no intentions.

After working all day, Liu Huaiqiu was also a little tired. He rested his chin on his hand and watched Gu Lichuan start to doze off.

Little by little, my head was almost loaded onto the side of the bed several times.

Suddenly one hand held up his non-stop nodding head, and gently stroked his chin.

Feeling the temperature, Liu Huaiqiu woke up suddenly, and Gu Lichuan was looking at him tenderly.

Liu Huaiqiu grabbed the hand on his face and said excitedly, "Li Chuan, are you awake?"

"Well, why didn't you leave?" Gu Lichuan's voice was hoarse, and it sounded sexy.

Liu Huaiqiu: "You won't die, why should I leave? I want to stay here with you."

When Gu Lichuan heard Liu Huaiqiu's words, he paused and asked, "Why am I not dead?"

Liu Huaiqiu said angrily: "What are you talking about? You are a prince, how could you die so easily, you just lie down, and I will ask the doctor to come and see your situation."

After speaking, Liu Huaiqiu rushed out.

Gu Lichuan looked at Liu Huaiqiu's back with melancholy.

He can't guess what Liu Huaiqiu is thinking now, doesn't Liu Huaiqiu like Kang Wang?

How could he miss such a good opportunity to wake him up again.

Could it be that King Kang has other strategies?

Gu Lichuan looked up at the roof in a daze, and suddenly found a piece of clothing on the beam, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten an important thing.

Immediately, with a heavy face, he shouted, "Xuan Ying."

"The subordinate is here." Xuanying jumped off the beam, kneeling respectfully in front of Gu Lichuan.

"Didn't I ask you to escort Madam away? Why is he still here?"

"Going back to the lord, it's my subordinate's fault, and my subordinate failed to persuade Madam to leave." Xuanying told Gu Lichuan everything that happened after Gu Lichuan fell into a coma.

Although he only briefly mentioned how broken Liu Huaiqiu was after Gu Lichuan fell into a coma, Gu Lichuan could already imagine Liu Huaiqiu's reaction at that time.

After listening, Gu Lichuan was even more confused when faced with Liu Huaiqiu's attitude towards him.

Before Gu Lichuan could figure it out, Liu Huaiqiu led the doctor and county magistrate over.

The county magistrate was very excited when he saw Gu Lichuan woke up, and his reaction was no less than that of Liu Huaiqiu, "My lord is really lucky if he survives a catastrophe."

Amidst the excited voice of the magistrate, the doctor walked up to Gu Lichuan calmly, and felt Gu Lichuan's pulse again.

"It seems that the prince's epidemic disease should be cured, but the poison is a bit strong. After drinking the antidote, the poison still hurt the internal organs. I'm afraid the prince will live well in the coming days."

Gu Lichuan nodded expressionlessly, showing no joy of escaping from death at all.

"In this case, it seems that the people of Changbei County can be saved. Since you said just now that the drug is too toxic, try to reduce the dose. If others are saved, if the root of the disease falls again, the king will be able to live well when he returns. , those common people don’t have the spare money to support their health.”

Doctor: "What the lord said is that I was thinking about this just now. If the lord has nothing else to do, I will go down first. I will start distributing medicinal materials to the common people tomorrow."

Gu Lichuan responded softly, "Yes."

After the doctor and the county magistrate left together, Gu Lichuan set his eyes on Liu Huaiqiu.

He looked at it for a while, stroked Liu Huaiqiu's face, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
