Chapter 688 Lack of Medicinal Materials
Chapter 688 Lack of Medicinal Materials
After returning to the inn, Qin Zhongwan fell asleep quickly. Early the next morning, she went to the medical center to buy medicinal materials. However, due to the lack of supplies on the border, she did not buy all the medicinal materials she needed.
But there are not enough medicinal materials, and the bodies of General Chu and Chu Changying...
Qin Dong said: "It is better to send people directly to take General Chu and others back. By then, there will be no shortage of medicine, and General Chu and others will recover faster."
"Inappropriate." Gu Siyuan shook his head, "General Chu's name has not yet been cleared, and he appears at this time... Furthermore, General Chu and the others have not died, but they have not returned to camp for many days. Appearing rashly at this time will only If you treat someone as a deserter, even if you have an orphan as a guarantee, you will inevitably be gossiped about. At that time, it will be even more detrimental to General Chu."
Hearing this, Qin Dong was speechless.
The three of them went to the old house in the north carrying medicinal materials and breakfast.
At this time, the three generals of Chu had already stood up. Chu Changying was practicing martial arts. When he saw the three of them, he saluted Gu Siyuan, "Your Highness."
"Nowadays, there is no need to be so polite outside."
Gu Siyuan asked Chu Changying to stand up, "Now, just treat me as an ordinary friend."
Chu Changying was already straightforward. Hearing what Gu Siyuan said, he nodded.
After entering the house together, Qin Dong put down his breakfast and invited several people to eat.
After breakfast, Qin Zhongwan changed the medicine for General Chu's wounds, and then began to boil the medicine.
At the same time, Gu Siyuan also discussed the funeral arrangements with General Chu.
"General Chu, your injury has not healed yet. You should take good care of yourself here first. Qin Dong will send you daily necessities and medicine on time." Gu Siyuan said first that it had been decided in the morning.
General Chu had no objection to this.
He asked: "Your Highness, after I recover from my injury, when will I go to the battlefield again?"
But Gu Siyuan shook his head.
"General Chu, this is a good opportunity."
Gu Siyuan said: "General Chu, your charges have not been completely cleared, and there is Yun Yuanwei in the army who is watching and plotting against you. If you return to the court, the troubles will only continue, and if they get more serious, I am afraid it will affect the entire Chu family." .”
When the news of General Chu's treason reached Kyoto, his father was already furious, so he had not actually punished him yet. However, he was indifferent to the rumors of rebellion of the Chu family in the capital.
It is conceivable that the emperor already believed [-]% to [-]% of the Chu family's rebellion.
Now General Chu is afraid that he will be guilty of desertion again.
Everything has two sides, it will not be completely good or completely bad.
But if he seizes the opportunity and resigns on the grounds of injury, relying on General Chu's many years of meritorious service, the father will not be in many embarrassments, and will be tolerant and praise him generously out of guilt and peace of mind.
By then, Gu Siyuan's thoughts were drifting away.
"General Chu, in my opinion, you will pretend to have lost your memory at that time, and then Gu's people will find you, and it will be difficult for others to find your fault."
Gu Siyuan's idea is not the best, but it is the most suitable at the moment. It will allow the Chu family to retire and no longer be involved in the whirlpool of power.
General Chu frowned after understanding what Gu Siyuan meant.
After a while, he shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I know that you have the Chu family's wishes in mind, but I don't agree."
He said: "I, the Chu family, have been generals for generations, guarding the mountains and rivers of Daxuan. How can I abandon my armor and run away because of other people's evil intentions?"
Seeing that Gu Siyuan was about to speak, General Chu asked again: "Or is it that His Highness sees that I have lost one of my hands and feels that I am a useless person?"
"Although I am a useless person, I, Chu Xiao, also have my own integrity. Your Highness, do you think that there is no use for a mere useless person?"
As he spoke, Chu Xiao laughed at himself.
These words made Gu Siyuan speechless.
