Hearing Yan Zhao's angry and loud voice, Yi Cui's first reaction was not to answer, but to turn around and cover Gu Chaoge's mouth.

"Don't tell Yan Zhao a word about that, lifespan, understand?" Itry's eyes burned and his tone was stern.

"Hmm." I know that Gu Chaoge tried to move his mouth to speak, but he covered it very tightly, except for a few rubs of his mouth on his palm, the rest was in vain.

The slight itch in the palm of his hand made Yi Cui subconsciously shrink a little, he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and couldn't help but withdraw his hand in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Yi is rude." ”

"Bad guys." Gu Chaoge muttered quietly, her voice so light that it was almost the movement of her lips, and even Yi Cui, who was so close, was not sure what she was hearing.

However, he saw Gu Chaoge's pursed mouth, as if he was unhappy. He sighed and begged her in a low voice: "Miss Gu, Yi begs you, don't tell Yan Zhao about this, let alone anyone else." ”

"I know, you're afraid that he'll be sad, but ......" Gu Chaoge's brows twisted slightly, "You're not afraid that he will feel guilty?" As the years pass, when he is no longer young and lingering on the sickbed, Yan Zhao will finally learn the truth, what is the sadness at this time compared to the guilt and regret that will be regretted in the future?

Yi Cui reached out and flicked her hand on her smooth forehead, and said lightly: "That is a long time later, and it is not your turn to worry about it." ”

He didn't speak politely at all, and Gu Chaoge refuted unconvinced: "My master said that twenty years are very fast, and they will pass in the blink of an eye!" ”

Not to mention that he did not have twenty years at all.

Yi Cui waved his hand, listening to Yan Zhao's voice getting closer and closer, he didn't have time to discuss this issue with her, he asked her, "Do you agree or not?" ”

"I agreed," Gu Chaoge emphasized, "and I've always been very tight-mouthed about patients. But I promise you, you also promise me to take my medicine well, and I have to walk on crutches for more than half an hour every day. ”

She deliberately stared at him wide, as if she could increase her deterrent power by staring at him so hard that she could not blink.

Thinking of the little girl with a thick treasure cover on her forehead and hanging her head and not daring to look at people when she first saw her, Yi Cui suddenly missed it very much.

Because he suddenly realized that if he taught her too well, it would not be good for him.

"I promise," Izri sighed, "and that's a deal." ”

Gu Chaoge stretched out his hand: "I want to high-five!" ”

Itri thought it was childish to give her a high-five. But he did ask her, so he had to stretch out his hand too, touch her, and hit each other with his palms to make a crisp sound: "A word is a decision." ”

"Gah?" Yan Zhao inserted it inappropriately, he saw his friend and the little girl sitting on the stone, swearing as he spoke, he swore a high-five, and touched his nose hehehe: "Am I not at the right time?" ”

Yi Cui glanced at him, stood up from the stone with his wooden crutches, and changed the subject seemingly casually: "Is this battle going well?" What's the matter with me in a hurry? ”

Yan Zhao didn't doubt that he had him, smiled mysteriously at Yi Cui, and sold Guanzi: "You'll know later." ”

He was still wearing a suit of soft armor that had not been taken off, his hands were empty, and he had nothing with him, leading Yi Cui to the place where he was meeting. While talking about the war and the operation of the territory under their command, the two walked forward, and Gu Chaoge, who couldn't interject, became a little transparent passerby, she was not interested in their conversation at all, looking left and right, absent-minded, thinking about when she could say goodbye and leave.

When she arrived at Yan Zhao's study where she had discussed in the past, Gu Chaoge thought that she would finally be able to say goodbye, but Yan Zhao turned around and grinned at her: "Miss Gu came together, and I also brought you something." ”

"Am I got my share too?" Gu Chaoge was surprised, and the toes that had originally turned out turned back and followed in curiously. This was the first time she had entered Yan Zhao's study where she discussed with her subordinates on weekdays, and when he was not there, it was empty and no one was allowed to trespass.

The furnishings of the study room are simple, and the precious antique calligraphy and paintings collected by the former Taishou were either taken away by Yan Zhao or sold by Yi Cui for grain and grass and military supplies. Gu Chaoge followed them into the inner room of the study, turned the screen, and saw two boxy boxes on the wide desk.

A big one, a small one.

Yan Zhao handed the big box to Gu Chaoge first, and smiled loudly: "Give it to you!" ”

"Yes, what?" Although Gu Chaoge was no longer so afraid of him, he was still very careful. She took it hesitantly, and as soon as Yan Zhao's hand was released, she immediately felt the weight of her hand suddenly sink, and she almost fell down without catching it.

"It's so heavy!" She was surprised.

Yan Zhao smiled and looked down at her: "Open it and take a look." ”

The box itself is just an ordinary wooden box, without any decorative carvings and no locks, just open the iron buckle on the box.

Gu Chaoge opened it curiously.

The light from the window shone in and into the box, and for a time the golden light was dazzling and dazzling.

Gu Chaoge squinted, and when she saw clearly that the box was full of gold, silver, beads, and pearl jewelry, she immediately opened her mouth wide and stammered: "This, what is this!" ”

"Thank you for the gift, the money for the last consultation, and the treatment of Acui this time, you helped me a lot, I can't thank you enough. You don't accept the consultation fee, but you have to accept the jewelry that these girls commonly use. Yan Zhao smiled, thinking that he had done the right thing this time. Every time they conquer a city, although they do not disturb the people, they still have to rob the big officials and those rich people with a bad reputation, which is very disgraceful, but the fact is that these people are equal to half of the military grain and grass, and the other half is from the business of Yi Cui and the taxes of various places. Even so, Yan Zhao's Red Turban Army still became an outlier in the eyes of other anti-thieves, because those people thought that rebellion was to rob his mother, and if they didn't rob him, they wouldn't rob it.

The jewelry used by these ladies was supposed to be sold for the army, but Yan Zhao remembered the little girl who was forcibly taken by his soldiers to see Yi Cui for medical treatment, and felt that she must be frightened with her temperament, so he specially asked his subordinates to pick the best jewelry and jewelry, and brought them back to her as a gift.

"I don't want it."

Yan Zhaoman thought that she must be happy this time, who knew that Gu Chaoge swung the box of jewelry on the desk, put his hands behind his back, raised his head, and his resolute expression was exactly the same as when he refused to accept the medical fee that day: "Don't." ”

Yan Zhao was dumbfounded: "Why, why not?" Do you still blame me for being disrespectful to you? Then I apologize to you? ”

Gu Chaoge shook his head like a rattle: "He has already given Mr. Xue's consultation fee, and it is my voluntary choice to continue to stay in Lai'an, and it is none of your business." As for the diagnosis and treatment of Yi Gongzi, my consultation fee is to live here for nothing and eat and drink for nothing, and I don't need you to give more. I don't want any of these jewelry. ”

Yan Zhao felt very frustrated, he picked up a gold-inlaid sapphire agate and dangled it in front of her, trying to tempt her: "It's so good-looking, you really don't want it?" ”

Yi Cui looked amused at the side, he picked up another small box on the table, looked at it and said, "Have you ever seen her wear jewelry?" ”

Yan Zhao noticed that Gu Chaoge had braided a braid from beginning to end, not to mention the hairpin ring, she didn't even have earrings.

Gu Chaoge looked at him, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't stop nodding his head again and again, agreeing with Yi Cui's words. It's not that she doesn't like jewelry, the bell doctor walks outside, and it is dangerous to expose her wealth.

"Don't you reward and punish your subordinates clearly, reward them according to their favor, and punish them with sincerity, are they all just right? How did you get to her and you were confused? Yi Cui pointed at Gu Chaoge and said to Yan Zhao: "You give her a few out-of-print medical books, or some rare precious medicinal herbs that are rare in a hundred years, and let her call you brother, she is probably willing." ”

At first, Gu Chaoge nodded again and again, saying that she agreed with Yi Cui's opinion very much, but in the end, she felt that something was wrong, and glared at Yi Cui: "I don't have a brother, and I will never recognize my brother!" "Even the senior brother, she only has one.

It's meant to tease her, but seeing her react like this, he just smiled and opened the equally plain little box in his hand.

Then his expression changed.

His eyes slowly widened, and suddenly a light burst out. It was not greed for the joy of seeing wealth, but joy of lost and regained, and disbelief in consternation. The contents of the box seemed to illuminate his whole being, and he became radiant in an instant.

Yan Zhao watched his expression change, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face, the big box didn't please people, but he knew that this small box would definitely succeed.

"What's in the box?" Seeing that Yi Cui's reaction was so big, Gu Chaoge looked over and looked at it curiously.

There was only one jade pendant in the box, a jade pendant that was not decorated with jade spikes or tassels.

But it is indeed beautiful, and in the sunlight, there is not a single blemish in the pure white jade, like a crystal liquid flowing slowly. It is intricately carved, and the cutouts are intricately detailed, except for a small notch, the rest is flawless. Yi Cui carefully picked it up, carefully examined it against the light, and turned it over to see that the words on the back of it were thick and round. Even if Gu Chaoge didn't know the difficult seal, it didn't affect her appreciation of its beauty.

"It's like a royal thing." It's so good-looking, Gu Chaoge sighed sincerely.

Her sigh was originally a matter of interest, and she said casually, who knew that the two men on the other side both cast their eyes over, and their four eyes were like bright copper bells, staring at her with burning eyes.

"How do you know that this thing must belong to the royal family?" Itri retracted the look of surprise she had just given and looked at her with an inquiring look in her eyes.

This is indeed a royal system, which was given to his mother Princess Changjia by the emperor back then, and then transferred to him by his mother.

The question is, how did Gu Chaoge have the eyesight to see through the origin of this jade pendant at a glance?

"I, I'm ......" Gu Chaoge stammered, she really couldn't lie, and she didn't want to tell them the name of her master, she was so anxious that she was about to sweat, and stumbled and said: "My master took me into the palace to see, he, he is the imperial doctor, he used to give the queen, uh, it is the current queen mother, and Li Guifei back then, he has seen them all!" ”

She wasn't lying. Yan Zhao and Yi Cui glanced at each other, and each saw the same information in each other's eyes.

"I'm not torturing you, I'm just curious about where you came from, after all, it's rare for a girl of your age to have such medical skills," Yi Cui saw that she seemed to be crying again, she was really a little helpless, and handed her a handkerchief from her sleeve, Wen Yan explained, "I didn't doubt what you meant." ”

Gu Chaoge clenched his handkerchief tightly, holding it in the palm of his hand and not being willing to use it, he sobbed twice: "I, I know, I am, I am nervous, you are as scary as him like that, like that." She pointed to Yan Zhao and said that Yan Zhao was the scary "him".

Yan Zhao felt innocent.

"Am I scary? Miss Gu, do you know what that is? It was a relic of Acui's mother, when he replaced it with steamed buns, I found it in a dry well in Jiqing Taishou Mansion, and personally went down to salvage it, which is why Acui has lost it today. So, do you still think I'm fierce, I'm scary, I'm bad? ”

Gu Chaoge nodded, shook his head again, and said, "General Yan is sorry." ”

Yan Zhao said most of this to Yi Cui to invite credit. With her reaction, Yan Zhao felt as if she was really fierce and bullying her. Helplessly, he didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he turned his head and asked Yi Cui, "It's true, right?" ”

"You caught it yourself, it's naturally good," Yi Cuimo held the jade pendant, the corners of his lips hooked, it was really pleasant, with a hint of regret in the pleasure, "It's just that a small corner has been knocked off here, and the last person who owned it must not know how to cherish it and throw it away at will." ”

"There are so many good things in Jiqing Taishou's mansion, and they didn't look at your little jade pendant in their eyes," Yan Zhao looked at this jade pendant that had gone through many tosses and turns, and was also very emotional, "It saved our lives back then." ”

When Gu Chaoge heard this, he raised his head curiously: "Can it save lives?" How so? ”

Yan Zhao smiled and teased her: "It's the same as you saved us." ”

Gu Chaoge felt inexplicable: "Me? ”

"Who else?" Yan Zhao said deliberately: "I really regret that I didn't take your silver chopsticks away back then, otherwise Ah Cui's jade pendant would not have been broken." ”

"Silver chopsticks? What silver chopsticks? Gu Chaoge felt even more strange, her eyes were full of question marks, "What are you talking about?" ”

Yan Zhao's happy expression froze on the spot.

"You're not that little girl?" He pointed at Gu Chaoge, his mouth wide open enough to swallow an egg, and his expression was shocked beyond measure.

"What little girl?" Gu Chaoge frowned: "What are you talking about?" ”

She, no, know, Tao?

Yan Zhao slowly and slowly turned his head to look at Yi Cui, and then slowly and slowly asked, "You, haven't sued her yet?" ”
