Li Mumu then asked Doctor Li about Old Man Zhang's current health and whether he could withstand the long journey and harsh conditions.
"That's no problem." Doctor Li said, "The old man is now in good health and can travel long distances, but don't get tired. Eat three meals on time, don't skip one meal and eat the next. Also make sure to get enough rest, go to bed early at night, and don't travel all night. That way there won't be any problem. Don't travel too fast or too fast because you're in a hurry, make sure to get enough rest."
Old man Zhang bowed to Doctor Li and thanked him.
Li Mumu arranged for someone to send Doctor Li away, and then Old Man Zhang said to Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu: "General Gu, Madam Gu, these days, I am grateful for your care. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life."
"I will never forget your great kindness." Old man Zhang said with tears in his eyes.
"General Gu, we have been holding on to your life-saving grace before, and we are really ashamed." Old Man Zhang said, "This time I have saved my life, and the life-saving grace is now even."
If it weren't for Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing, Old Man Zhang felt that he would probably not have survived.
Do you really expect Zhang Yingzi to get the antidote from someone?
What if there is none? Before he could take the antidote, his life depended entirely on the imperial physician that Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu had found.
Moreover, even if Zhang Yingzi got the antidote, could she prove that it was the antidote? Didn't she have to rely on Doctor Lu to study and prove that the antidote was fine before she dared to take it?
Old man Zhang now only feels ashamed.
"From now on, I will never come to you to ask for a life-saving favor again." said Old Man Zhang.
"Don't say that, old man." Li Mumu said.
Old man Zhang shook his head, "Madam Gu, I really don't have the face to do this. Besides, it was you who saved me this time. Without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to take the antidote. I feel guilty for saving General Gu's life. Although I took General Gu in, I almost delayed his recovery and even harmed him."
"No matter how you put it, we are even this time. You two should stop remembering my life-saving grace in the past." said Old Man Zhang.
Now, Old Man Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief. He would never trouble Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu again no matter what.
"I will set off for home today and pack my belongings. I should be able to catch up with Yingzi." Old man Zhang planned that even if he couldn't accompany Zhang Yingzi the whole way due to time constraints, he could at least look after her halfway.
When he arrived at the place, he settled down there and took care of Zhang Yingzi.
Seeing Old Man Zhang like this, Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu did not try to persuade him anymore.
Old man Zhang went to say goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Gu, and then packed up his things.
Gu Shangqing was worried about encountering danger on the road, so he arranged for someone to escort Old Man Zhang.
There were many people waiting in line to see Dr. Li, and he really couldn't spare the time.
Li Mumu then found another doctor to follow, and after they safely sent Old Man Zhang to Chong'an, Gu Shangqing's men would escort him back safely.
At least I can take care of Old Man Zhang's health along the way.
By then, Mr. Zhang's health should have stabilized.
Besides, Old Man Zhang wants to go with Zhang Yingzi.
The journey to exile was difficult and arduous, and the doctor was unwilling to follow even if he was offered more silver.
I just hope that Old Man Zhao can take care of himself in the future.
After all these were arranged, Li Mumu and Gu Shangqing escorted Old Man Zhang out of the city together.
"I originally said that I would not trouble General Gu and Madam Gu, but I didn't expect that my departure would trouble General Gu and Madam Gu again, and they even arranged for a doctor to follow them." Old man Zhang blushed.
"As long as the old man is healthy, it will be worth our efforts to save him, right?" Li Mumu said, "The exile is long, the northern frontier is bitterly cold, and no doctor in the capital is willing to follow."
Even for this trip to Chong'an, Li Mumu spent a lot of money before the other party agreed.
"When the old man sets out from Chong'an, he might as well look around in Chong'an to see if there is a doctor willing to follow him, in case something happens to his health on the road." Li Mumu said.
"Yeah! Okay." Old man Zhang nodded.
Li Mumu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I know that I love my daughter very much, but I must take care of my own health first. Only when I am healthy can I take good care of Miss Zhang for a longer period of time."
Old man Zhang knew what Li Mumu meant and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Madam. On the one hand, I can't let Yingzi go, but on the other hand, I will be on guard and cautious."
Li Mumu didn't say anything more.
Watching Old Man Zhang's carriage slowly drive away.
Just as Old Man Zhang said, we will probably never see Old Man Zhang and Zhang Yingzi again in the future.
I wonder how the two of them will live in Saibei.
"Let's go back." Gu Shangqing took Li Mumu's hand, and they went home together.
After a few days, the imperial edict came down.
Gu Shangqing was rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and was given the title of Mingwei Bo.
Li Mumu was granted the title of Princess An Ning.
The saint also gave him the Earl's Palace.
The Gu family packed up and officially moved into the Earl's Mansion.
Five days after moving into the Earl's Mansion, the Prince sent someone to deliver a letter.
Gu Shangqing came to find Li Mumu with the letter.
"It's a letter sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Shangqing said.
Seeing that Gu Shangqing was still holding the letter, Li Mumu asked, "Is it related to me?"
"It's not really relevant, but I thought you would want to know." Gu Shangqing sat down opposite Li Mumu and handed the letter directly to Li Mumu.
Li Mumu read the letter while listening to Gu Shangqing's explanation of its contents.
"Su Zhier is dead." Gu Shangqing said.
Li Mumu didn't even bother reading the letter, and simply looked at Gu Shangqing, "Is it because there is no town in the things she predicted about the Saint and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Gu Shangqing nodded, "Nothing about the Saint, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the First Prince, and the Third Prince has come to fruition."
"Because of Su Zhier's prediction, the Turks have been paying close attention to the situation here." Gu Shangqing said, "Su Zhier also told the Turks the specific time when it would happen. The reason why the Turks believed Su Zhier's prediction so much was because it happened to match their arrangements."
"Before they took Su Zhier to the Turks, Zhao Xia had already been waiting for the opportunity in the palace. Therefore, when the peace talks were going on, the Second Prince of the Turks believed Su Zhier's prediction at first, because only a few of them knew about Zhao Xia's affairs in the palace, and they had guaranteed that it would not be leaked. Su Zhier could not have known, but Su Zhier's prediction made the Second Prince believe that their arrangements in the palace would definitely succeed."
"That's why I brought Su Zhier back to Turkestan, believing in her predictions. We're just waiting for this event to come to pass to do the final verification." Gu Shangqing said.
"Who would have thought that this time Zhao Xia was arrested, and even the third princess of the Turkic people became a prisoner." Not to mention being guarded in the palace, the third princess of the Turkic people was directly thrown into prison.
"The Saint is fine, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine too." Gu Shangqing said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also used this investigation to pull out some of the Turkic nails. Those people were originally intended to frame the Crown Prince. Now that they have all been pulled out, the Turkic people have suffered a great loss."
"Su Zhier's prediction is completely untrue and has no use for the Turks. In addition, Su Zhier was brought back by the Second Prince, whose reputation in the Turkic court is growing. The First Prince took this opportunity to attack the Second Prince. Su Zhier became the first blow for the First Prince to attack the Second Prince, and he directly used his misjudgment of Su Zhier to attack the Second Prince."
"Su Zhi'er also became a victim of their power struggle." Gu Shangqing said, "The Second Prince naturally decisively abandoned Su Zhi'er, and Su Zhi'er died just like that."
Li Mumu stared blankly at the words on the letter, feeling a little sad.
The heroine of the original novel died just like that? Then she should have completely changed the fate of the original novel.
The Gu family is all well, the saint is safe, and if nothing unexpected happens, the prince will succeed to the throne smoothly.
She is fine and will not die.
Li Mumu let out a long breath.
Gu Shangqing also felt a little sad. Whether it was Su Zhier or Zhang Yingzi, if they just stopped doing that, lived a good life, and didn't pursue those unfounded things, they would be fine.
Su Zhier is still the daughter of an official, and Su Guangcheng will definitely be promoted after entering Beijing.
Zhang Yingzi and Old Man Zhang can live a good life in Chong'an.
Gu Shangqing shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
The most important thing is that the matter concerning everyone's lives is over.
Next, he concentrated on preparing for Gu Baiyuan's scientific examination.
Wang Cuizhen prepared everything she could think of for Gu Baiyuan.
Li Mumu also added to the discussion. When she thought of something, she asked Wang Cuizhen if she was ready.
The whole family worked together for Gu Baiyuan.
After buying everything, I realized that there was nothing missing.
On the day of the exam, the whole family went out together, even Master Guan came with them to the Imperial Examination Hall to send Gu Baiyuan into the examination room.
Although Gu Baiyuan could not go out during the exam, people outside could not come in either.
But Wang Cuizhen, Zhang Caiping and Li Mumu still took a carriage to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall every day to take a look.
When the exam ended on that day, the Gu family arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall early.
As the gate opened, the candidates inside looked a little listless and came out exhausted.
Gu Baiyuan is the youngest among them, hiding among the adults, so it is really hard to find him.
"There it is!" Gu Shangyong saw Gu Baiyuan first, "Baiyuan!"
The others also looked over and saw Gu Baiyuan coming out with a basket.
Hearing Gu Shangyong's voice, he looked over and saw that everyone was there. He immediately smiled brightly.
He carried the basket and hurried towards the Gu family's carriage.
Facing the sun, looking at my family members, my third aunt is also there.
Third Aunt is not dead. The cold and indifferent young lady from an official family whom Third Uncle married in the dream was fake after all.
It was a dream.
However, whether it was the original aunt named Li Mumu in the dream, or the young lady from an official family whom his third uncle later married, he felt that something was wrong.
Even if her name is also Li Mumu, that person is not his third aunt.
Only the person in front of him who was smiling at him, who supported the entire family in the most difficult times, who hired a teacher for him, who discovered what Bai Jin was good at, and who encouraged Gu Xiuxiu to do what she liked, was his third aunt.
Gu Baiyuan walked in front of the Gu family members in the sunlight.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, let's go back." Gu Baiyuan's eyes were particularly bright in the sunlight.
Helped by Gu Shangyong, the family got on the carriage and slowly headed home.
......
The end.
This is the end folks 😭
