Chapter 193 Rejection of Marriage

All the eunuchs and palace maids were ruthlessly blocked outside the door by the tall, mighty and serious guards. They could only pace anxiously outside, standing on tiptoe to look inside the door from time to time, but they could see nothing.

At this time, only a few experienced and skilled imperial physicians were able to follow Gu Wenbo and others into the room.

These imperial doctors first bowed respectfully to Gu Wenbo, then quickly came to Gu Mingbai's bedside and began to carefully take his pulse and examine his illness.

After a careful diagnosis, the imperial doctors exchanged glances with each other, and then hurried to prepare the necessary medicinal materials according to the prescription given by He Yue.

For a moment, only Gu Wenzhi, Gu Wenbo and He Yue were left in the room.

They gathered tightly around Gu Mingbai's bed, their faces full of worry and concern.

Not long after, Gu Mingbai, who had his eyes closed and was unconscious, finally moved.

His fingers trembled slightly a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

Gu Wenbo, who was anxiously waiting on the side, was overjoyed when he saw this. He quickly and carefully helped Gu Mingbai up and let him lean on the soft and comfortable headboard of the bed.

Gu Mingbai stared blankly at the three people surrounding him, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and bewilderment. He slowly spoke, "I...what's wrong with me? Why are you all gathered here so nervously? What exactly happened?"

As he spoke, he shook his head gently, as if trying to wake himself up, but the dizziness kept coming over him in waves, causing him to frown.

Gu Wenbo took a deep breath, and then slowly told him everything that happened after Gu Mingbai fainted.

Gu Wenbo's voice was steady and clear as he described in detail the thrilling scene at that time: how the palace maids and eunuchs panicked, how he, Gu Wenzhi and He Yue rushed to the platform in a panic, and how the imperial physician rushed to treat them.

Gu Mingbai listened quietly, his eyes filled with a hint of guilt and gratitude for everyone's concern.

After Gu Wenbo finished his narration, his gaze slowly shifted to He Yue and Gu Wenzhi.

He sighed softly and said apologetically, "My illness came on so suddenly. There was no sign beforehand. I just collapsed like that."

"This has made you very worried. Moreover, because of my illness, your wedding has to be stopped."

"This was supposed to be a very important event in your lives, and I feel really bad that it was interrupted like this."

Gu Mingbai paused, a look of deliberation in his eyes, and then continued, "If you mind the delay of the wedding, I will ask the Imperial Observatory to find another good date."

"The officials of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory are all well-versed in astronomy and calendar, skilled in observing the stars, and quite experienced in selecting auspicious days."

"Let them choose a day that will surely be auspicious."

"How about holding a more grand and magnificent wedding for you then?"

"This time, we must make it a grand occasion, so that everyone can witness your happy moment."

After listening to Gu Mingbai's words, Gu Wenzhi nodded and agreed without hesitation.

The nod was quick and firm, as if he had no hesitation or hesitation about the proposal.

However, after nodding in agreement, he immediately looked at He Yue subconsciously.

His eyes were filled with anticipation and a hint of subtle nervousness, like a person awaiting trial. Although he had beautiful aspirations in his heart, he was also afraid of unexpected results.

His eyes were fixed on He Yue, hoping to find the same response from her expression.

As for He Yue, after hearing what Gu Mingbai said, her heart felt like a pot of mixed feelings, with all kinds of thoughts flooding into her mind.

She thought about it over and over in her mind, and it was as if there were two little people arguing fiercely in her mind.

As these complicated thoughts kept swirling in her mind, she did not answer in time.

The atmosphere at this moment seemed to be frozen. Gu Mingbai, Gu Wenbo and Gu Wenzhi all stared at He Yue.

Gu Mingbai's eyes were full of confusion. He didn't understand why He Yue hesitated. After all, he thought the relationship between Gu Wenzhi and He Yue had always been good.

Gu Wenbo was curious and was waiting for He Yue to give a reasonable explanation.

In addition to the initial expectation, worry gradually emerged in Gu Wenzhi's eyes. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He Yue took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision.

He took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the courage into his body.

Then, she slowly said, "I can't marry Azhi."

Although her voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in the silence where only the sound of breathing could be heard.

Every word was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples in the room.

After hearing what He Yue said, Gu Mingbai and Gu Wenbo's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

Gu Mingbai's face was originally filled with anticipation and relief for Gu Wenzhi and He Yue's marriage, but now it was as if blown by a gust of cold wind, leaving only astonishment.

His slightly opened mouth seemed as if he wanted to say something, but something seemed to be choking his throat and he couldn't make any sound for a while.

Gu Wenbo was also surprised. He frowned and stared at He Yue, as if trying to find out the reason behind these shocking words from her face.

Gu Wenzhi was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. He suddenly grabbed He Yue's shoulders tightly with both hands.

His fingers turned white due to the force he applied, as if he was afraid that He Yue would disappear in the next second.

His eyes were filled with panic and confusion, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

She asked anxiously, "Why? Why can't you marry me? Didn't you agree to it before?"

"We had so many wonderful times, and you said you were willing to be with me forever."

"Why are you unwilling now? Is there something I did wrong?"

"Or did something happen that I don't know about? Tell me, Ayue."

He Yue lowered her head, her eyes fixed on the ground beneath her feet, as if there was something on the ground that could give her strength.

Although her shoulders were tightly grasped by Gu Wenzhi, and the force caused waves of pain in her shoulders, she seemed not to feel it and did not push him away.

Deep in her heart, she is experiencing a fierce struggle and game.
