[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 376 Falling in love with the male protagonist's "golden finger" 20

"Yun Jian," Emperor Qianqing sighed, "The fourth son is useless and did such a foolish thing. Now he has learned his lesson. He said with his own mouth that he is sincere to Fei Yun. Look at this..."

Lord Shangguan understood the unspoken intention of Emperor Qianqing, and cursed him as a "tyrant" in his heart, but showed gratitude on his face.

"Your Majesty, I am honored that the Fourth Prince has taken a liking to me, but..." Lord Shangguan looked hesitant, as if he had something to hide.

Emperor Qianqing was unhappy: "Why, my fourth son is not worthy of Feiyun?"

No matter how useless Gu Hongying is, he is still the son of Emperor Qianqing. He can despise him, but not others.

Lord Shangguan hurriedly knelt down and said sincerely, "It's just that my daughter's fate...is not appropriate. I'm afraid it might hurt the Fourth Prince. How about Your Majesty, please ask Taoist Dengyun to help?"

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Emperor Qianqing was about to get angry, but the second half aroused his curiosity.

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Qianqing carefully observed Lord Shangguan and found nothing wrong.

In addition, Lord Shangguan took the initiative to mention Taoist Dengyun and seemed very calm, which made Emperor Qianqing feel suspicious.

Then, Taoist Dengyun, who was traveling, was urgently called back and sat face to face with Shangguan Feiyun again.

In addition to Shangguan Feiyun, also present were Gu Hongying, Lord Shangguan and Emperor Qianqing.

Emperor Qianqing was very polite to Taoist Dengyun: "Master Dengyun, please help me take a look at this girl and see if she is a good match for my fourth son."

Taoist Dengyun first looked at Gu Hongying, and Gu Hongying hurriedly forced a smile.

He looked very pitiful as he had not yet recovered from a serious illness, and Emperor Qianqing could not help but feel pity for him.

What an injustice!

Taoist Dengyun nodded slightly in greeting, then turned his gaze to Shangguan Feiyun.

Shangguan Feiyun was very calm and politely greeted: "Hello, Taoist Priest!"

Taoist Dengyun smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Miss Shangguan looks more energetic now."

Shangguan Feiyun smiled and looked very well-behaved.

There was a piece of red paper on the table in front of Taoist Dengyun, with the birth dates of Shangguan Feiyun and Gu Hongying written on it.

The old Taoist calculated for a moment, then put down his hand and said to Emperor Qianqing, "Miss Shangguan has a unique fate that no ordinary person can bear. If she insists on marrying the Fourth Prince, it may shorten his lifespan."

"what?"

Gu Hongying didn't believe it at all and suspected that Taoist Dengyun had been bribed by the Shangguan family, which was why he was talking nonsense.

Taoist Dengyun's eyes were gentle, and he said with conviction: "Indeed it is so."

Emperor Qianqing now hesitated. Although his son was useless and he didn't like him very much, he would definitely not agree if it would really shorten his lifespan.

"Father!" Gu Hongying saw that something was wrong and spoke up hastily, "Father, I am truly sincere to Miss Shangguan. I hope you will give me a chance."

Shangguan Feiyun couldn't help but interrupt, "Fourth Prince, aren't you and Miss Liu Second in love? Why are you so sincere to me?"

"Uh..." Gu Hongying was speechless.

Emperor Qianqing glared at Gu Hongying, signaling him not to embarrass himself.

After listening to Su Jiu's suggestion, Shangguan Feiyun said, "Fourth Prince, how about this? I'll spend some time with you first. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll marry you. If you feel... uh... you don't get along with me, then you can cut your losses in time. What do you think?"

Gu Hongying's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately: "Okay!"

He didn't believe in fate and vowed to capture Shangguan Feiyun.

Since his son said so, Emperor Qianqing agreed.

It's a one-year period, and the Fourth Prince can regret it at any time.

"I won't regret it!" Gu Hongying was full of confidence.

Su Jiu chuckled and said: If she doesn't beat Gu Hongying to death, she will write her name upside down.

So, the next day, Gu Hongying, whose injury had not yet healed, leaned on a crutch and asked Shangguan Feiyun to go out for an outing.

Then, in full view of everyone, Gu Hongying rolled down the hillside and broke his other leg.

"I didn't touch him, he fell down by himself!" Shangguan Feiyun raised his hands and shouted, trying to prove his innocence.

The guards sent by Emperor Qianqing to protect Gu Hongying looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Qianqing couldn't help but mutter and advised Gu Hongying to just forget it.

But Gu Hongying was determined, and as soon as his leg healed, he came to ask Shangguan Feiyun to go on a boat trip again.

Then, a big wave came. Everyone else was fine, but Gu Hongying was knocked off balance and fell straight into the water. He had a high fever for seven days and almost became a fool.

Gu Hongying, who didn't believe in superstition, came to ask Shangguan Feiyun to go to the temple fair for the third time. As a result, the lamp stand inexplicably fell down and hit Gu Hongying.

The scalding candle oil poured onto Gu Hongying's skin, causing him to faint from the pain.

In these three incidents, no traces of human activity were found; they were all just coincidences.

This time, Gu Hongying really started to get scared.

He decided to try one last time and even brought Emperor Qianqing with him.

Then, under the nose of Emperor Qianqing, Gu Hongying, who was limping, stepped on dog shit, slipped, and crashed directly into a carriage parked on the side of the road.

The horse was frightened and kicked Gu Hongying in the spine, breaking three of his ribs.

Just like that, the male protagonist of the novel, Gu Hongying, became paralyzed.

Emperor Qianqing: What an unlucky child.

Finally, Gu Hongying gave up.

He lay on the bed and cried, "Father, please save me!"

Su Jiu looked at the unlucky talisman in the space with satisfaction, hiding his merits and fame.

In fact, she had asked Shangguan Feiyun whether she should just kill Gu Hongying and put an end to it all.

Shangguan Feiyun thought about it and rejected the proposal: "He is already a cripple and is doomed to have no chance of becoming emperor. He has also offended the Second and Third Princes, so his future will not be easy. Let's just forget it!"

Okay, since the heroine said so, Su Ji won’t meddle in other people’s business.

Anyway, for Gu Hongying now, living is more painful than death.

And based on his current condition, Su Ji estimated that he would not live long.

The medical treatment conditions in ancient times were not as good as those in modern times. Even if he was a prince, he would still feel pain and die. It was just a matter of time.

Since Gu Hongying is disabled, he naturally cannot marry Shangguan Feiyun again.

Since the Shangguan family had already explained the situation in advance, it was Gu Hongying who refused to believe in it and insisted on giving it a try. Now that things were like this, Emperor Qianqing couldn't blame the Shangguan family, but he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Lord Shangguan was a smart man. He saw through Emperor Qianqing's thoughts and took the initiative to ask for his remains.

Emperor Qianqing refused several times, but finally agreed.

However, perhaps he also realized that he was being unreasonable, so he valued Shangguan Xi who stayed behind even more.

Shangguan Xuan had been sent to the border by Emperor Qianqing before and was currently working under Gu Hongjing.

Shangguan Hui achieved good results in the imperial examination, but he took the initiative to apply for an external appointment and is now working hard in a county in the south.

The retired Lord Shangguan simply took his wife Shangguan and Shangguan Feiyun to find his third son, preparing to travel around the country.

As for Su Jiu, he accompanied Shangguan Feiyun everywhere to practice medicine and save lives, until Shangguan Feiyun was dying, when he finally separated from her.

Su Jiu: So this is what they call timing! (????)

At this time, the elderly Shangguan Feiyun looked at Su Jiu's figure in the void and smiled: "Sister Xiaojiu, you are as beautiful as I imagined!"

Su Jiu looked at his illusory body and shrugged helplessly.

She bent down and touched Shangguan Feiyun's old face, but her hand went straight through.

"Sister Xiaojiu," Shangguan Feiyun reached out and lightly held Su Jiu's hand, "It's great to meet you!"

Shangguan Feiyun never married in her life, not because she couldn't find a good man, but because she devoted all her energy to the cause of saving lives and felt she could no longer take care of her family.

Su Jiu has always been by her side, climbing mountains with her just to pick a herb; rushing into the battlefield with her just to save a wounded soldier.

They are friends, teachers and students, and confidants.

Shangguan Feiyun always regretted that she had never seen Su Jiu's true face, but she didn't expect that she would get her wish when she was about to die.

Su Jiu felt the laws of heaven and earth and knew that he didn't have much time left in this world.

She touched Shangguan Feiyun's head lightly and said with a smile, "I'm also very lucky to have met you!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Feiyun smiled and closed her eyes.

Su Ji turned her head and looked out the window. Magnolia flowers were in full bloom on the branches, and the whole place was filled with spring scenery. Her figure slowly disappeared into the sky.
