Outside, light snow was falling, and the cold air could not penetrate the house. The maid looked at the charcoal stove with fine silver and charcoal that burned without smoke, Wei Tong wrapped in a cloak with fox fur piping, holding a small gilt hand stove of copper beasts, and looking at the light snow outside the window with a half-rolled bead curtain, which had a special mood.

Her complexion is white and red, her skin can be broken by blowing, and she doesn't paint any makeup. Compared to when Gu Chaoge saw her a few months ago, she was plump, which was inevitable, after all, she was now pregnant with one in her belly.

"It's snowing, do you think his march will be blocked?" Wei Tong stroked his belly, which was not yet pregnant, and his eyes were stunned to look at the snow outside the window. Yaxing, who did not enjoy the snow in the winter in the past, frowned slightly, remembering the newlywed husband who was fighting in the distance.

It's not easy for couples in troubled times. Less than two months after she married Yan Zhao, her husband went to Changxing to join Zhang Suiming, and now it is even more inextricably fought, and even the people in Yangzhou City began to panic, for fear of being affected by the war again.

Because of this, Yan Zhao didn't know that Wei Tong was pregnant.

Gu Chaoge wrote down the last word, put it down, blew the ink on the paper, and handed it to Wei Tong: "The fetus is very stable, and the body is good, do it every day according to the requirements I wrote, and give birth to this child peacefully." ”

Wei Tong didn't let the maid fake her hand, she took the prescription with her own hands, read it carefully, and asked Gu Chaoge one by one if she didn't understand. Finally, he looked at her gratefully: "I'm glad you're here, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

Gu Chaoge shook his head: "Female science, I'm not proficient. The doctor that Master Wei invited you is good, I looked at his fetal prescription, there is nothing wrong, the dosage is accurate, and he is obviously experienced. And you have to rely on those experienced midwives when you give birth, but ......" her nose wrinkled, and she had a disgusted expression: "If it's the kind of midwife who never washes the blood on the scissors, and says that this blood can bless the safety of the mother and child, just hit it out." ”

Wei Tong was amused by her: "Chaoge, why do you think that you have a lot of temper when you come back this time?" ”

"I'm serious, postpartum wind is not a joke, you must not be careless, as for my ......" Gu Chaoge wanted to speak and stopped, but sighed, got up and packed up his things, "It's nothing, you are so resting, I will leave." ”

She did have something on her mind, but she didn't want to say it to make the pregnant Wei Tong more annoying. Walking out of the door, the north was mixed with snowflakes, and they greeted Gu Chaoge's face, if it weren't for the big plush cloak, her little face would definitely be frozen red.

The distance from the Wei Mansion to the Taishou Mansion was not far, and she refused the carriage sent by the Wei Tong faction, intending to walk back slowly like this. On such a quiet snowy day, it's best to hold an oil-paper umbrella and leave a quiet space to think about something.

Gu Chaoge didn't like to think about issues that had nothing to do with medical Taoism in the past. The trajectory of the first half of her life was almost predetermined, she studied medicine with her master, and when her master passed away, she continued to study and practice medicine by herself, taking it as her responsibility to complete her master's notes. Later, the contents of the journal were completed, and only the need for repairs and corrections remained. At this time, she inexplicably became Yan Zhao's chief medical officer, she worked hard to complete the task of teaching medical officers, read medical books carefully, treated people in Yangzhou City, recuperated for Yi Cui, and studied ways to cure his legs.

She lived a life of regularity and fulfillment without thinking about it, and she had hope.

However, this alliance, as well as the ensuing Yanzhang War, broke this law. Gu Chaoge stopped and looked at the end of the long street, the gray sky, and the endless fluttering snow. When Wei Tong was thinking about Yan Zhao, she was also thinking about her senior brother and the wounded soldiers who she couldn't continue to complete the treatment.

She wanted to go back, to where a medical officer was supposed to be.

The trouble is that this simple wish is not as easy to achieve as it used to be.

The plaque of the Taishou Mansion was already very close, and she could enter after a few more steps, and there would be soldiers at the door who greeted her kindly. Because of the plague, almost all the soldiers guarding the city in Yangzhou knew her, so without Yi Cui's warrant, she would never be able to step half a step at the gate of Yangzhou.

Don't even go out of Yangzhou City, let alone go to that turbulent place where there are frequent wars to find a place for the wounded soldiers' camp?

Gu Chaoge greeted the soldiers guarding the door and asked them if Master Yi had gone out, the soldiers laughed and told her that ordinary people don't want to go out in this kind of weather, and Lord Yi's legs ...... Not so much. Since he has not gone out, he must be in the main hall. The main hall is the most familiar place for Gu Chaoge in the Taishou Mansion, except for his own room. It was snowing and dark, and today's main hall was also lit with candles, but the scribes were sparsely lit, and the number of people was very small. Because many of them were sent to serve in the newly occupied towns, and some followed Song Wuyi to the front line to transport grain to **.

When Gu Chaoge walked in, a scribe came out with a dossier, smiled at her chin, and greeted: "Doctor Gu, come to give Master Yi a routine diagnosis again?" ”

Gu Chaoge smiled and did not answer. Her gaze turned to the man who was lying at the desk and flipping through the papers, frowning, who looked a little unkempt, with crumpled sleeves and blue stubble on his cheeks and lips, and the weather had indeed caused trouble for the Red Turbans in recent times. Seeing that she was only looking at Yi Cui, the scribe smiled knowingly, didn't stop much, and quietly walked away.

"In this kind of weather, a lot of people will die in front of you. Wind chill, frostbite, angina, asthma...... I can't even count them. ”

In the quiet room, she opened her mouth quietly, which startled the frowning Itsu, and he looked up suddenly: "You, when did you come over?" There was a bit of obvious panic in his voice.

"Just now." Gu Chaoge dragged a seat and sat down upright in front of his desk, his back straight.

Seeing her posture, Yi Cui couldn't help but have a little headache: "You...... I won't let you out of Yangzhou, the situation outside is uncertain now, and it's very dangerous. ”

Her senior brother said the same, so he forced the guards to send her back to Yangzhou, even if she was stunned and tied up, she had to be brought back, maybe the barbaric practices of the captain of the guards were ordered by the senior brother in advance. She knew her brother, and as long as she felt that she was doing it for her good, he would not listen to her.

Now that Yi Cui is like this, she simply suspects that he and his senior brother have discussed it in advance.

"In that case, I can't afford this scarf." Gu Chaoge said stiffly, smashing the jade seal of the medical chief on Yi Cui's desk. It was a trick she had come up with on the road.

"You ......" changed to others, Yi Cui Dake scolded with a cold face, but it was Gu Chaoge in front of him, and he stumbled and said: "You wait a few more days, and then talk about it when it clears." ”

"You're a liar!" Gu Chaoge stood up: "You lied to me like this when I came back three days ago!" Because she was delayed in the small town, and later set off, Yi Cui, who also came back by water, turned out to return before her, and she asked him to go back to the small town, and he used the "procrastination trick" to prevaricate her at that time.

"It's too dangerous," Trei paused, "I don't worry about you." ”

Gu Chaoge was silent for a long time.

"You weren't like this before," she deliberately provoked him like this, pursing her lips, and secretly exerting her whole body, "You thought I was cowardly, so you polished me, and let me take over the post of chief medical officer, at that time you should know that sooner or later I will join the army." ”

But I regretted it.

I regret doing it myself.

Yi Cui didn't dare to look at Gu Chaoge's eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, he always knew that this girl had a kind of toughness that could not be polished, the more she grinded, the tougher she became, and the more she grinded, the more luster. What she really wanted to do, no one could stop, so all he had been doing was to inspire and encourage her.

Now, however, he would rather she didn't have that resilience. He and Chu Dongyuan coincide, and they both want to protect this girl under their wings, don't go through wind and rain, just see the rainbow.

Because he was reluctant.

"Sign the warrant, you know how much of a role I can play in the wounded barracks, and you also know that their increased chances of survival means that there will be no problems with the Red Turban Army's soldiers." Gu Chaoge slowly said the words she had thought about and even practiced on the road, and even she herself was amazed at her steady performance at the moment.

She really didn't want to stay in this safe and reliable rear for a moment, with her senior brother in front and so many soldiers in front. And she felt like a wasted person, a useless person with empty medical skills, and a waste person who could not be saved when she saw death.

Yi Cui was still resisting, he shook his head: "Recently, the snow has been heavy, it is not suitable to go on the road, you should wait patiently for a few more days, and it will be sunny ......"

"If you don't sign it, I'll go by myself. You know that I must go, and the soldiers defending the city may not dare to stop me, for they are afraid of hurting me. The seal is placed with you, and my resignation from this position is not a violation of orders. ”

She offered the next move she had come up with, and her tone was stiff and cold, ensuring that she conveyed a resolute conviction.

However, at this time, Itsui raised his head and glanced at her.

With just one glance, she held back the tears of sadness, grievance and guilt for several days, and scrambled to break the embankment.

His eyes were full of tender worry, and just looking into his eyes, it was as if I could hear his sad sighs.

His expression was a lover's reluctance to part, and there was a bit of unspeakable helplessness. Seeing her crying, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve almost reflexively and handed it over.

I don't know if it was the first handkerchief that Yi Cui gave her, but this review Chaoge didn't ask for it, she bit her lip, shed tears, and stuffed her nose and asked him, "Why did you kiss me that night?" ”

When she came back to see Yi Cui three days ago, she even avoided him, obviously he was the one who did the bad thing, but she was afraid that he would take the initiative to explain, so that she would not even have any illusions. But now, seeing a look he inadvertently cast made her think of the senior brother standing on the flagship looking at her from afar when she saw her off, Gu Chaoge suddenly realized that Yi Cui was not completely emotionless for herself.

This is a conclusion that can have been reached a long time ago, but she is stupid, stupid and unconfident, and she has never dared to believe this beautiful fact.

She finally asked.

Yi Cui actually had the urge to breathe a sigh of relief, since he saw Gu Chaoge who came back, his heart had been hanging, waiting for her to ask what happened that night. Gu Chaoge didn't ask for three days, and his heart kept in his throat, and he didn't fall for three days.

"I was drunk that day, and you must have smelled me drunk. Dizzy for a while, I don't know what I'm doing, I didn't expect to offend you, I, I apologize to you. Against his will, he said the prevarication that he had already thought of, was full of flaws, and he couldn't be more scummy, and while spitting that he was really not a thing, he wolfishly touched his cane, and he really planned to get up and apologize to her.

You lie!

Itrei you liar, big liar!

I hate you, I hate you the most!

Gu Chaoge yelled in her heart, she found out, he didn't dare to look at her, he lowered his head and touched the cane everywhere, obviously the cane was behind the wooden chair and didn't know! And his other hand was always on his right knee and caressing unconsciously, and she remembered that he was also touching his knee when he let go of himself that night!

She should have known that he rejected her because of this leg!

Even kissed her, he could regret and not admit it, he was really hopeless!

In some specific circumstances, love can make people's minds sharp, Gu Chaoge's mind has never been so clear, she shouted: "I don't want you to apologize!" ”

Because of her shouting, Yi Cui's movements froze, and he still didn't dare to look at her, and said again and again: "No, no, I have to apologize and apologize." ”

"I don't want it!" Gu Chaoge rushed out: "I just need a warrant!" Out-of-town warrant! ”

What?!

Idri froze.

Gu Chaoge's face was red from excitement, she suddenly felt that she was really smart, it was not unreasonable for the master to take a fancy to her as an apprentice! She was so witty to think of such a great way to ask Itri for a warrant!

Who cares about his apology, it's better to have that kind of apology! Now that she knows that he is not completely indifferent to her, then she will continue to work hard in the direction of marrying him, who cares about apologizing!

What is her immediate priority right now? Of course, she didn't force him to tell the truth, she knew that the cunning spider would never tell the truth, so she might as well solve the most urgent matter first.

That's it—a warrant!

Warrant Warrant Warrant, it's not enough to say something important a hundred times!

"Give, I, hand, order!" Gu Chaoge said word by word. She stared into Izri in the eye and demanded loudly. In front of him, she has never been so imposing as she is now, and she cannot be refused!
