157 I’m Willing to Accept You as My Adopted Daughter
Seeing that Gu Qingxue had been persuaded, Imperial Duke Zhan hurriedly got off the carriage and invited her to get on.
The carriage stopped in front of a teahouse.
Gu Qingxue followed Imperial Duke Zhan upstairs. The two of them found a private room and sat down.
After the tea was served, the waiter left the room and closed the door.
Imperial Duke Zhan stood up with a solemn expression. He raised his teacup and said to Gu Qingxue, “Miss Gu, I’ve indeed offended you today. Please forgive me.”
Gu Qingxue took the teacup from Imperial Duke Zhan, she said lightly, “The imperial duke was heavily injured when you were fighting for the country. As a citizen of the Tianyue Kingdom, I will naturally not divulge this matter. However, there is no wall in this world that can not be leaked. The state of the imperial duke’s health is already very bad. If you are not treated in time, you will only be able to hold on for another five years at most.”
She had never thought of using this matter to threaten Imperial Duke Zhan.
Imperial Duke Zhan had made outstanding contributions to the war. When he was young, he only went into battle to defend his country and suffered heavy injuries.
She respected such a person. The fact that she had said that he was seriously injured was just to stand up for herself.
In addition, it was to set a trap.
She had not forgotten the rules of the Medical God System.
The more you save a good person, the more points you will get!
Imperial Duke Zhan had fought for his country and defended the borders for decades. If such a good person was saved by her, his points would definitely not be small!
“I have seen many famous doctors before. They all said that my old injuries are too serious to be treated. I have also mentally prepared myself.” Imperial Duke Zhan sat down. His eyes were filled with loneliness.
He had always wanted to be strong, but he had never thought that he would end his life in such a way.
“Imperial duke, others can’t do anything about it, but I can,” Gu Qingxue said with a faint smile.
Imperial Duke Zhan said with a smile, “I admit that Eldest Miss Gu is indeed powerful, but the ones I’ve seen are all national experts...”
“Imperial duke, give me three days, and I’ll show you the results. If you don’t feel better after three days, it won’t be too late for you to reject me,” Gu Qingxue said when she saw Imperial Duke Zhan frowning, she continued, “Imperial duke, the Madam is very loyal to you. You’ve been keeping it from her. When you pass away in five years, your wife will definitely follow you.”
Gu Qingxue’s words were like a sharp blade, stabbing into Imperial Duke Zhan’s chest!
It had to be said that what Gu Qingxue said was exactly what he was most worried about.
“Alright. However, please keep the treatment a secret, Eldest Miss Gu. I don’t want my wife and son to worry,” Imperial Duke Zhan said.
Gu Qingxue nodded. “In that case, I’ll ask Imperial Duke Zhan to stop taking the medicine for the time being. Two days later, when I go to straighten your wife’s bones, I’ll treat your illness. By then, Imperial Duke Zhan will be able to see the effect.”
“You don’t even need to check my pulse to see that I’ve taken the medicine?” asked Imperial Duke Zhan in surprise.
“I can see that Imperial Duke Zhan’s Qi and blood are weak. Your Lips are blackish, but your complexion is as usual, ruddy and full of vigor. It can be seen from this that you must have taken some medicine that can strengthen your Qi and blood. This kind of medicine is not good for you, and it will also affect the medicine I’m going to take next,” Gu Qingxue said, she stood up, “It’s getting late. Let’s go to the imperial duke’s manor as soon as possible.”
“Well, Eldest Miss Gu, I was wrong about what happened yesterday. If you don’t mind, I’m willing to take you as my adopted daughter,” Imperial Duke Zhan said with a dry smile.
It was rare for him to take the initiative to make peace. If he did not really like Gu Qingxue, he would not have proposed to take her as his adopted daughter.
