Chapter 776 When a person is about to die, his words are also good
The situation here at the Princess’s Mansion is naturally better.
After Gu Chan came to live here, she not only had a special maid to serve her, but also servants to do her bidding. Of course, it was much more comfortable than living alone in Prince Chan’s mansion.
In the evening, Zhao Danian, as agreed, asked his son to bring several large boxes of banknotes to pay for the mansion, and also gave Gu Chanchan the plaque of the palace.
Gu Chan did not make things difficult for the Zhao family. After accepting the silver, she handed over the land deeds and house deeds.
In the end, her mansion was sold for a total of 20 million taels of silver, which was considered a low price in Kyoto. However, because of this, she became friends with the imperial historian, which was a win-win for her.
In the evening, when Gu Chan, Zuo Yun and the other two were having dinner in the front hall, Di Yi, the former guard of Di Zong, suddenly came over and said to Gu Chan, “Prince Chan, please come with me to Di Zong. Our sect master wants to see you.”
“Is the old prince feeling better?” Gu Chan asked while eating.
Di Yi frowned and said, “Ever since you made him vomit blood outside Dongcheng Station last time, his chronic illness relapsed when he went back home, and now he can’t get out of bed.”
“Oh! Your sect leader is too careless. I didn’t go too far at that time! How could he be so angry with me?” Gu Chan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Anyway, she never thought from the beginning to the end that such a powerful old prince Xuanyuan Wen would be so angry with her.
Zuo Yun sat aside and said with a smile, “You should go and take a look! After all, the old prince is so angry about you, it would be unreasonable if you don’t go and take a look.”
“Okay then! Let’s go!” Gu Chan said with a wry smile.
After saying that, she put down her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and left with Di Yi.
After the two of them left, the Thirteenth Princess worriedly asked, “Will the Emperor’s uncle kill him?”
“Yes! The old prince was so angry that his chronic illness relapsed and he couldn’t get out of bed. He must hate him very much!” Yuan Jie said in reply.
Zuo Yun shook his head and said, “In my opinion, the old prince will not harm him, because he is now at the end of his strength. If he keeps Gu Chan, he can still make trouble for the prince and the queen mother in the future. But if he kills Gu Chan, the prince and the queen mother will be happier than him.”
“That’s true. If I were the old prince, I would definitely keep Gu Chan. I hope he will make a comeback in the future and deal with the empress dowager and the prince.” Yuan Jie nodded.
Princess Thirteen smiled awkwardly and didn’t know what to say.
After all, the Queen Mother is her biological mother, and the Crown Prince is her biological brother. At a time like this, if she were to speak up for Gu Chan, it would seem like she was being disloyal.
So in the end she chose to remain silent, just lowered her head and continued eating, not saying anything more about it.
Half an hour later, in a relatively secluded courtyard behind Di Zong.
At this time, Gu Chan had already followed Di Yi in. As soon as they entered the yard, Gu Chan saw Xuanyuan Wen lying on a recliner in the yard. His face was as pale as paper, and he looked like he was about to enter a coffin. He had no energy at all.
The two walked up to him, Di Yi clasped his fists and saluted, saying, “Master, I have invited you.”
“You go guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my order.” Xuanyuan Wen waved his hand weakly.
“Yes, Master.” Di Yi said respectfully. After that, he immediately turned around and went to guard outside the courtyard.
Gu Chan said with an embarrassed look on her face, “I’m sorry, old prince. If I had known that you were so impetuous, I would have been more tactful when I was at the East City Gate.”
“It doesn’t matter. At my age, anything that happens is not surprising.” Xuanyuan Wen said with a faint smile.
As he said this, he waved at Gu Chan, motioning her to sit down.
Gu Chan understood and sat on the stone bench next to him, looking at him quietly. For a moment, she really didn’t know what to say.
Xuanyuan Wen was silent for a long time before he said softly, “I sent someone to invite you over tonight. I mainly want to tell you three things.”
“Which three things?” Gu Chan asked curiously.
“First of all, it was the Queen Mother who designed to frame Prime Minister Gu’s family. I already knew that you have a close relationship with Prime Minister Gu’s family, so you can decide what to do in the future.” Xuanyuan Wen said weakly.
Gu Chan frowned as she listened, and thought secretly in her heart, could it be that this old bastard said this deliberately to stir up conflict between her and the Queen Mother?
After all, she used to be a member of Prime Minister Gu’s family. If she knew that her family was framed to death by the Queen Mother, she would definitely seek revenge on the Queen Mother!
Xuanyuan Wen didn’t care what Gu Chan thought and continued, “As for the second thing! You must be careful of Xuanyuan Wu. He is definitely not as harmless as you seem. He was able to defeat me and take the throne. It shows that he is extremely powerful in both means and scheming. Don’t let yourself be sold out and foolishly help him count the money.”
“Okay, I understand. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind, Old Prince, and stay alert at all times in the future.” Gu Chan said respectfully.
She could see that when a man is about to die, his words are good. Xuanyuan Wen was now at the end of his life, so what he said was absolutely sincere. In this way, there was no need for her to go against him anymore.
Xuanyuan Wen grinned, turned his head and stared at her solemnly, saying, “This third thing is the most important. Looking at all the princes of Tiancang Country, the only one who has the real ability and strength to sit on the throne is Lao Jiu. The others are no match for the prince. If you go to Diyue Country this time and fail to bring back the spiritual herb Bianhua and fail to save Lao Jiu, then you can rebel in the future and replace the prince.”
“Ah? Old Prince, I have no intention of treason! Don’t scare me by saying this.” Gu Chan said hurriedly, waving her hand.
“The prince is suspicious and cruel by nature. He is definitely not a true dragon emperor. If he ascends to the throne, Tiancang Kingdom will surely face a great disaster. Now I am tired and can’t compete with him. I can only hand over the important task of revitalizing the people of Tiancang Kingdom to you young and promising successors.” Xuanyuan Wen said with his eyes wide open.
“puff!”
After saying this, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The next second, he lay directly on the recliner and gasped heavily.
Gu Chan quickly stood up and shouted outside the courtyard, “Di Yi, call the doctor quickly, the old prince is vomiting blood again.”
“Master, please hold on! I’ll go get the doctor.” Di Yi rushed into the yard shouting, and seeing that Xuanyuan Wen was really dying, he quickly ran to call the doctor.
After a while, more than a dozen doctors with excellent medical skills and many captain-level people from the Di Zong all rushed into the small courtyard and formed a circle to guard Xuanyuan Wen.
Gu Chan stood far away, watching more than a dozen doctors take turns to treat Xuanyuan Wen, and a feeling of sadness appeared on her face.
