”It is very possible that His Majesty already knew you were in the capital.” Gu Yun looked at Old Man Ji, ”Second Prince has a disease, His Majesty will definitely think of a way to recruit you into the palace.”

Old Man Ji squatted in the field, expressionless. However, his hand that was fiddling with the herbs paused, ”It's such a pity, although this disease is not fatal, but it definitely cannot be inherited. It's useless trying to find me, I can't cure it.”

Gu Yun's eyes froze, even Old Man Ji could not cure him? His guess was indeed correct, Old Man Ji knew the inside information, and even King Jin knew the inside information. Even though King Jin did not ask about the exit because of his face, but in his heart, he definitely wanted to know more than anyone else. At that time, when the previous Emperor died, it was the Old Man Ji that saved him. So in these past few decades, the person the Emperor wanted to find the most was his Old Man Ji, but unfortunately, the previous Emperor was unable to find him until his death.

It was very clear that if the Second Prince had inherited the disease, it must have come from the His Majesty. His Majesty's health was not good, and he must be troubled by the disease, so no one wanted to find the Old Man Ji more than him.

But why was Gu Qing looking for Old Man Ji? It was really hard to understand.

Gu Yun had originally wanted to trick him into speaking some truth, but he didn't expect this old man to be unwilling to speak. It's just that he thought that if he could say something, then he wouldn't hide it from you.

”Since you know what I'm doing, I won't say anything more. I can stop anyone from looking for you, but I can't do anything about His Majesty's words. Unless you leave right now, no one can do anything about you.”

The Old Man Ji shamelessly snorted, ”Why should I leave? It's like a thief, now that my Great Grandson's Wife has a great great-grandson, no matter how unruly I am, I shouldn't be rootless duckweed right? If I get old, then I won't want to stay floating around, and if I die without anyone to bury me, wouldn't I be wronged?

It was rare for a Old Man Ji to have a proper and proper time, and it was hard to bear looking at a proper time. Gu Yun looked at the old man whose back was slightly bent, and thought to himself, this old man is really old.

”What are you talking about?” Xie Jingxi walked over, seeing that the two of them were silent, she couldn't help but be surprised, it was really rare to see two people chatting so calmly like this, but Xie Jingxi's expression was covered by his smile, which pulled her over to sit down.

”Where's Grandmother? Didn't she go with you?”

”Grandmother said that Mama Chen was too busy to cook with us.” Xie Jingxi turned and said to the Old Man Ji: ”Grandfather, can you take a look at Xuanchen? A few days ago, he was heavily injured and had an old illness, but at that time, it was inconvenient for him to look for you, and coincidentally, I came today, so I have to trouble you to take a look.”

The hand that Gu Yun had wrapped around her body lightly tapped on it, his expression could not be seen, as though he did not care about his own body at all, while Old Man Ji looked at the two of them hesitantly, but in the end, he did not say anything. He went to the water's edge to wash his hands, and showed Gu Yun his pulse.

was about to get up and make way for her, but Gu Yun stopped her, not letting her move. Old Man Ji glanced at him unhappily, and saw that his old finger was resting on his white wrist, the moment he reached down, he couldn't help but shiver. His trembling, which was barely discernible, was caught by Gu Yun, but the corners of his mouth continued to curl into a smile, as if everything was within his expectations.

Deep grief and vicissitudes of hatred filled the depths of Old Man Ji's eyes. He didn't even dare to look at Gu Yun's expression at that moment, as if his heart must have been stung by something. This child was even harder and more tenacious than his mother, and also suffered more than his mother.

”Grandfather, are you alright?”

Xie Jingxi had her back facing the two of them, so she did not notice the expression that flashed past their eyes just now, and when she saw that the two of them did not speak, he became uneasy.

The Old Man Ji snorted and left, ”It's fine, I won't die yet.”

Gu Yun smiled as he embraced Xie Jingxi, his chin resting on her shoulders. His slightly cold face pressed against her tender and warm cheeks, instantly absorbing all the strength and warmth, ”Just say it's fine, don't worry. It's been so many years since you came here, and you've encountered even more dangerous situations.

Xie Jingxi frowned, she instinctively did not want to hear him say such words, it was just that recently she had a body, which distracted her greatly, and had forgotten about some matters before she could even think about it. For example, a thought that flashed through her mind just now, but could not remember it, but she did not force him, so when Pei Zixi told her to focus less, she tried her best to restrain herself, and she did not ask Gu Yun.
