Chapter 103 Brothers and Brothers Respect
Under the moonlight, the Di Sheng Palace appears even more magnificent and majestic.
Gu Mengzhen looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and was overjoyed.
"I have had people try the good medicine you found for two days, and it works very well."
"It's much better than the old prescription of Ms. Ning San, but it's not as good as the new medicine she developed."
Fang Zhixuan acted out the deep love between brothers and smiled sincerely.
"I am very pleased to be able to share your worries, my brother."
"I have sent someone to invite the doctor to the capital, and he will be here soon."
"In compliance with the order of my brother, I have ordered a thorough investigation of that doctor's background. Only when there is no doubt about it will I introduce him to the palace."
Gu Mengzhen's dragon eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, brother."
"In addition, to show loyalty, you must arrange for someone to assist King Di Jin, and let him deal with it in front of you. But if there is even a trace of reluctance, I will not employ him."
Fang Zhixuan agreed readily.
"My brother is still thoughtful."
"Emperor Jin has many ministers, I wonder who my brother has chosen?"
Gu Mengzhen quickly picked someone.
"You Xiancheng, how is it?"
Fang Zhixuan thought about it and remembered this person.
"Brother, are you talking about Lord You, the servant of Tinghe?"
"I seem to remember that he is the confidant of Prime Minister Qin, the Prime Minister?"
Gu Mengzhen treated it like a worn-out shoe.
"It is his confidant."
Fang Zhixuan was shocked.
"Since entering the government, Lord Qin has been personally trained and promoted by my brother. Unspokenly, he has already become an important official under my brother's command."
"Brother, you must have made a mistake. Why do you want to deal with his confidant?"
"Could it be that I have misunderstood, and my brother the emperor actually does not think highly of Lord Qin?"
There was a hint of anger in Gu Mengzhen's breath.
"It is precisely because you value me that you make me angry."
"During the time you were away from Beijing, Qin Hongzhong turned traitor!"
Fang Zhixuan showed an expression of disbelief.
Gu Mengzhen harbored anger and resentment that took a long time to dissipate.
"I value him highly and promoted him to be the Prime Minister of the Court, competing with Zhong Jian."
"I have secretly instructed him to deal with Zhong Jian many times. But he has accomplished nothing and is still looking for excuses saying that he has no intention of doing anything sinister."
"He is so noble, implying that I am a villain."
"Brother, please judge for yourself. How can you deal with a man like Zhong Jian without resorting to cunning tactics?"
Fang Zhixuan nodded repeatedly, agreeing strongly.
"My brother is right."
"To deal with a villain like Zhong Jian who is plotting rebellion against the world, extraordinary measures must be used."
"This Lord Qin is so ungrateful."
"But having said that, your quick mind and ability to adapt are your brother's strengths and advantages over ordinary people. It is only natural that others cannot do it. Otherwise, how could the people of this world regard your brother as their king?"
Gu Mengzhen looked worried.
"The hearts of the people in the world are still with King Di Jin."
Fang Zhixuan disagreed and tried to please him.
"That's a bad word."
"On my way back to the capital, I heard many people praising my brother's ability to govern the country and manage the world."
Gu Mengzhen was suddenly surprised.
"Sure?"
Fang Zhixuan knelt down and was resolute.
"I dare not deceive you, my Lord."
Gu Mengzhen's brows relaxed and his spirits were high.
"I am busy with state affairs and don't often inquire about people's livelihood. Fortunately, you can share my worries."
Fang Zhixuan lowered his eyes in shame.
"I am a humble and mediocre person, but I hope you don't mind me, my brother."
There was a hint of doting in Gu Mengzhen's eyes.
"You hurried back to Beijing because of Hui'er's marriage, right?"
"This marriage was originally proposed by Mu Rong. She is interested in reconciliation, and I am happy to see it happen, so I accepted it for you."
"During the time you were away from the capital, the Prince of Chen was restless and seemed to be planning to break away from us and go it alone. After Zhong Shuyi was executed, he became even more unscrupulous."
"Noble Concubine Yi has hidden ambitions, and the Mu clan is also restless, and they all seem to want to follow Prince Chen."
"After becoming in-laws, it's easy to talk to each other. My idea is that you can help mediate, just like Fengzhe persuaded Ning Sannu."
Fang Zhixuan responded happily.
"Yes."
"I fully understand your intention, brother, and I will live up to your expectations."
"Tomorrow Hui'er will be getting married. Would you be willing to come and marry me, brother?"
Gu Mengzhen took a sip of the ginseng chicken soup and felt satisfied.
"Of course I will go to my niece's wedding."
"It's just that Ning Erlang is as stupid as a pig. He is really not worthy of my niece."
"But I can't choose Fengzhe. After all, they are cousins. Alas, I can only let Hui'er suffer and live with Ning Erlang."
Fang Zhixuan smiled modestly.
"Hui Er is naughty and Ning Erlang is honest, they are a perfect match."
"Thank you very much, my brother, for your help."
Gu Mengzhen signaled to Xiao Fuzi to bring another bowl of ginseng chicken soup to Fang Zhixuan.
"As long as you like it."
"This soup tastes good. It was made by the new royal chef. You can try it too."
As he said this, he gave instructions to Xiao Fuzi.
"Remember to pick out all the chives according to Uncle's taste."
After giving the order, he turned to Fang Zhixuan.
"When you convict You Xiancheng, do it quickly and don't let anyone catch you."
Fang Zhixuan made a suggestion.
"My royal brother tried to test that doctor to see if he was loyal to Prince Di Jin, and dealt with You Xiancheng very appropriately."
"But with this move, there is no way of knowing whether he was sent by the King of Chen."
"Since the Prince of Chen has ulterior motives, shouldn't my brother be on guard as well?"
Gu Mengzhen fully agreed.
"My dear brother, what you said makes sense."
“I wonder if there is anyone who can be chosen?”
When he reached this point, he heard Fang Zhixuan's personal attendant, Lu Siwei, asking for a meeting outside the door.
After getting Gu Mengzhen's permission, Lu Siwei came quickly, bowed respectfully, and reported: "My Lord, I just received news that the clinic where that doctor works was originally opened with money from Xinglin Hall."
Fang Zhixuan stroked his chin lightly, pretending to be in deep thought.
"Xinglin Hall?"
"That sounds very familiar."
Gu Mengzhen didn't want to know, and his face darkened.
"Xinglintang is the medical clinic of King Dijin."
Fang Zhixuan's eyes were startled.
"I am guilty of this. I almost fell into King Dijin's trap!"
Gu Mengzhen comforted him softly.
"Don't worry. I have always been cautious. I have only asked others to test the medicine, but never tried it myself."
"It's just that Xinglintang paid for the establishment. It's not enough to prove that the doctor must have been sent by King Dijin."
"Maybe it's a coincidence."
Fang Zhixuan put away his surprise and asked as he was told.
"Then, will my brother still use the pills in this porcelain bottle?"
Gu Mengzhen replied.
"Just in case, let's not use it."
"It's better to delay the cure of an old disease than to lose your life directly."
"I have to make sure there is no doubt before I can use the medicine with confidence."
"There's no rush for this matter. Let's find another way."
Fang Zhixuan sighed helplessly, full of self-blame.
"It is my fault that I was useless and failed to find a good prescription and medicine for you, my brother."
"In this case, do we still need to punish You Xiancheng?"
Gu Mengzhen made the decision.
"No, keep it for now."
Seeing that his brother was still gloomy, he continued to comfort him.
"I'm really fine, you don't have to worry."
"You went through a lot of trouble to find a doctor and get medicine, why do you need to blame yourself?"
"The number of people around me is decreasing day by day. Thank you for your loyalty and devotion."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of myself, recover from my old illness, and protect you for the rest of my life."
Fang Zhixuan's worried expression disappeared and he smiled with relief.
"Thank you, brother."
