Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After Zhou Ying came up, she scanned Gu Chenglin with her divine sense. Seeing that he was still asleep, she did not disturb him, as she assumed he hadn’t slept well yesterday.
So, she placed the food on the table for him, then returned to her room to make a pot of tea and read a novel.
When it was almost noon, Gu Chenglin finally woke up from hunger. He quickly washed up and knocked on the door opposite him to ask, “Cousin-in-law, are you inside?”
“Come in.” Zhou Ying opened the door to welcome him and asked, “How did you sleep last night?”
“It’s, it’s fine. I just slept a little late.” Gu Chenglin scratched his ears and asked with a smile, “Does cousin-in-law have anything to eat?”
“Not bad, much stronger than I imagined.” Zhou Ying saw that he was indeed in good spirits. After encouraging him, she pointed at the rice and tea on the table and said, “I prepared breakfast for you. After eating, drink two cups of tea to digest your food. It will be lunch in about an hour.”
“By the way, where’s cousin? When are we going back to Dongyang?” After Gu Chenglin finished speaking, he began to eat his food.
“No matter what, we must wait until King Rui’s health recovers.”
“Oh, brother-in-law has woken up? I have to go and visit him.”
“You can go during lunch. You can help me deliver their lunch.
“He had suffered serious injuries and is still feeling weak now. It was better not to disturb him too much.”
“Okay, should we buy some pigeon soup for my brother-in-law?”
“Smell carefully. The kitchen has already made some chicken soup. We don’t have to worry about that.”
Gu Chenglin nodded when he heard that. After breakfast, he drank his tea while picking up the medical book that Gu Chengrui had copied for Gu Chengxi.
When it was time for dinner, he called Zhou Ying and ran downstairs.
Just then, he bumped into Zhou Huaiming, who was carrying a food box out of the kitchen. He didn’t even bother to eat his lunch before running along with him.
At this moment, Gu Chengrui also came out with a lunchbox. When he saw her, he said, “Since you’re here, let’s have lunch together. Brother Zhou will take good care of Chenglin.”
“Sure.” Zhou Ying nodded and followed him to a table in the corner.
After they were almost done eating, Gu Chengrui told her King Rui’s suggestion and asked, “I’ve thought about it carefully and feel it’s not appropriate for us to go back now. What do you think?”
“Okay, then write a letter back. As for the chili, cumin, and our workers, just let Sun Hongliang handle them and send them over together with the rose tea.”
Gu Chengrui and Doctor He worked shifts to guard King Rui daily for the next few days.
Besides accompanying King Rui, Gu Chenglin began studying.
Zhou Ying got busy in her interspace other than her book reading. She even monitored Mrs. Lu and the others through her interspace.
When Gu Chengrui was free, they would also go out and try the delicacies of the various restaurants and snack bars here.
Five days later, at night, just as the couple was about to enter the interspace, Zhou Ying suddenly heard a faint scream and quickly spread her divine sense.
She saw a soldier patrolling the outer perimeter who had his neck twisted by a man in black who had climbed over the wall; she immediately alerted Gu Chengrui.
She also shouted at the top of her lungs, “There’s an assassin!”
“Crossbow, itching powder.” Gu Chengrui reached out his hand.
Zhou Ying immediately took out the crossbow and the itching powder she had specially made for such an occasion and handed it to him.
Although it was called itchy powder, it was a poison that targeted the skin. If there were no antidote, although it would not kill him, it would greatly disfigure the target.
After Gu Chengrui took the weapon from Zhou Ying, he looked out the window. He saw that the black man was about to kill someone.
He immediately drew the crossbow and shot an arrow toward the assassin.
The man in black was vigilant and held the soldiers in his hands before him as a shield..
