Chapter 30: A Pulse Case
Sister Qiao, the granddaughter of the imperial physician Xiong Shihai, accepted Xia Zhaorong Xia Xiaogui's request, and came to the studio every day to do scar removal care for her wounds.
"Sister Qiao, why are you called that?"
"Grandpa gave it and said that it was July 7 when the Magpie Bridge met, and the daughter could get a pair of skillful hands under the grape trellis and would do needlework."
"And how are you doing with your needlework?"
"Well, I sewed a lot of wounds."
"It's not needlework."
"That's what I learned at home since I was a child, I cut the meat at home, and I can cut out the bones of a whole pig's head, a lot."
"Then you're much stronger than me."
"How well do you read?"
"It's okay, my grandfather forced me to read the Analects and the University, but the mean, I can't read it. Later, he allowed me to watch "Lingshu", "Su Wen" and "Hug Puzi". ”
"Amazing, then you're a showwoman. She was also a healer. ”
"But my grandfather wanted me to learn to sing, and he said that he could learn to sing so that he could serve the nobles."
"Girls don't have to serve nobles. We can become nobles ourselves. ”
"Zhaorong, you can say that, you have already served the emperor, how can we folk women say that." Sister Qiao pouted.
"That's not the case, I never wanted to serve the emperor, but when I met the emperor, the emperor wanted me to do things for him in the palace, and there were no female officials in the palace, so I was arranged to be a talented person, and I made meritorious contributions, and I was promoted to Zhaorong."
"So you are the inspirational legend of Nantang."
"It's okay, but I don't like this kind of life, I want to make a difference."
"You could have been a man, why should you become a woman first and then make a contribution?" Sister Qiao said curiously.
Imperial Doctor Xiong is really a big mouth, it seems that he told Sister Qiao about his physical condition, and he probably thinks that Sister Qiao is looking for a chance to win the emperor.
"You're a healer, aren't you?" Xiaogui asked.
"yes."
"You want to be a woman from an official's family, a lady, or a concubine, right?"
"Hmm......" Sister Qiao hesitated a little.
"Your starting point is higher than mine."
"Huh?"
"I went through a lot of hardships to finally become a woman, and my sixteen years of hard work are just to be like you."
"I see......"
"I have someone I like, and I want to be with him as his woman."
"Does the emperor know?"
"I know, the emperor also said that if there is a chance in the future, he will give us a marriage."
"I'm married to the emperor, but I'm still thinking about that person," Sister Qiao looked at Xiaogui's face and said, "That man is really lucky." ”
Xiao Gui's heart was also sour, that lucky man snatched the door out of this courtyard just a few days ago.
"I have my own problems, too."
"Tell me what you're suffering."
Sister Qiao may be the most curious person in the world, such a person loves to take care of everything, as long as you show your dependence on her, she is willing to do a lot of things for you, even if it is something that violates the law and discipline.
"Like you, I grew up in a doctor's family, but I'm an adopted daughter."
"Child bride?"
"No, I was raised as a daughter, and my family is also a big medical hall, which is the Xu family of Tanzhou Shanzitang."
"Oh, oh, I know, your Angong Niuhuang Dan is very good, and my grandfather often praises it."
"I was raised by my master and mother, and my brother rescued me from the horse thief."
"It's so romantic."
"He killed forty-six bad people for me, and then put the life and death of the last man into my hands."
"Did you kill it?"
"Killed, that was the first time I killed someone, he bullied people too hard."
"Kill, I'm afraid you won't dare to kill."
"Don't say that, kids."
"I'm not a kid anymore! The woman is twenty-seven days old, can have a child, I am fourteen years old this year, and I am an adult. ”
"Imaginary years can't be counted."
"Go on, what about later?"
"Later, my senior brother was framed by bad people and ended up in the rivers and lakes."
"Zhaorong, I think the two of you will definitely be together again."
"I think so, but now I have a confusion in my heart."
"What confusion?"
"I suspect he's also adopted, and it's my long-lost brother."
“!”
"If that's the case, then we'll just have a pure brother-sister relationship."
"This ...... Just pretend you don't know...... Either of you will have children anyway. "Sister Qiao is very arrogant.
"What is this called, you have also read the book of saints, even if you don't have children, and you do that with your own brother, won't you blaspheme your ancestors?"
"It's because I'm thinking wrong, just thinking that my brother and sister will give birth to a fool."
"Recently I found a clue."
"What a clue."
"That's my sister in the past, and she may have seen Dr. Xiong."
Xiao Gui said that there was a pause here, Imperial Doctor Xiong not only treats the court, but also prescribes prescriptions to the families of some officials and even wealthy businessmen when he is not on duty, which is also an important part of his income.
"In the third year of the Later Jin Dynasty, that is, in the autumn of the year when Liezu changed the name of the country to the Southern Tang Dynasty, my sister Tian had received diagnosis and treatment from Imperial Doctor Xiong, if I knew her pulse case and bottom formula, then whether she was pregnant, whether my senior brother was her own flesh and blood, it would be clear."
"It's easy, I'll ask my grandfather when I go back."
"Slow, slow, this girl, why are you in such a hurry."
"Little Guijie, don't you want him to know?"
"This kind of daughter's heart, how can I let the old grandfather know...... Besides, if it's true that we are brothers and sisters...... I don't want more people to know about it......" Xiaogui's face turned crimson, and his expression was a little twisted.
"Hahaha, you are such a cool girl and you can be shy," Sister Qiao patted her chest, "This matter is wrapped up in me." ”
"You can find his background and pulse, read it, write it down, or copy it down."
"I'll get you the original, it's not difficult."
After Sister Qiao dealt with Xiaogui's scars, she was about to retire.
"Remember, keep it secret, it's a secret between the two of us!"
"Okay!"
Xiaogui sent Sister Qiao away and breathed a sigh of relief.
She doesn't like to deceive.
If she cheats people for Xu Yongzhi, she doesn't care.
But Sister Qiao, a girl who rushes to the door to be a confidant, is really too dangerous.
She might be able to withstand a round of torture, but she could easily be deceived.
Caution, caution, caution.
It's also for her good not to let her know too much.
Xiao Gui was thinking about it, when suddenly the little eunuch outside the door replied: "Qi Qi Zhaorong, the eldest princess is here." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lianqiao had already entered the studio angrily.
She entered the palace just now and talked to Li Yu about a 100,000 urgent matter.
Li Yu hurriedly stopped the meeting between Han Xizai and Xu Hyun to listen to her big things.
"Brother Emperor, I want a mattress made of red panda skin."
"Now in June, what do you want a leather mattress?" Li Yu reached out and touched Li Forsythia's head.
"I'm cold, you care ...... me"
"Nonsense, what kind of bear skin do you need, the cat bear is raised, it's still a male, where is the little cat bear?"
"It's not a thing, it's the kind of animal that is red, has a long tail, and then scares people and stands up like that......"
"Queen, can you understand what Sister said meant?" Li Yu looked confused.
"The eldest princess is vividly starring, and he really deserves to be a famous singer in Jiangnan, but if you want to say that it is easy to understand, I am afraid that the concubines will not be able to understand it at all." Emperor Zhou E said with a smile.
"Liang Wucheng!"
"The minions are here."
"Give the eldest princess a fox skin mattress, and ask for red."
"This can't be done, it has to be red panda skin!"
"How can you tell the difference between these two things?"
"Didn't you say it, it's a fox lying on its stomach, and it's a panda that can stand up."
"Okay, give the eldest princess a mattress for a bear......"
"It's a panda!"
"I'm hungry, pass on the food." Li Yu didn't bother to pay attention to Li Forsythia.
"Has the eldest princess eaten it?" The queen looked kind.
"Nope." Li Lianqiao was furious.
"If you haven't eaten, go home and eat."
The queen asked the palace maid to quickly fetch water to wash the emperor's hands.
Li Lianqiao had a while, rushed out of the palace angrily, and then remembered:
"The arrow wound of that slut in the studio is probably going to be healed, but I won't see the weather for a few days, wait for me to go in and knock her."
That's when I broke into the studio.
"Say hello to the eldest princess." Xiaogui greeted with a grin.
"Zhaorong get up, the arrow wound is healed?"
"Okay, change the medicine these days, look in the mirror, and miss the eldest princess all the time."
"What do you want me to do? Do you want to seek revenge on me? ”
"How dare I dare, I just think that the world is big, there are no surprises, since I was a child, I have felt that such a thing as a spell is a thing in a legendary story, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could be hit by a magic arrow, it really makes people feel that this life is not in vain."
"You're from a village in the countryside, I'm afraid you haven't seen much of the world, where is your home? Xingqing Mansion? ”
"Yan'an Mansion."
"Oh, I heard that there are handsome men and beautiful women in your place, so are you a handsome man or a beautiful woman?"
"This guy is boring." Xiaogui thought.
I thought that she was going to inquire about all kinds of information about Xu Yongzhi, judging from the status of the two people, Xiaogui still had to answer her, but I didn't expect that she was in such a favorable position now, and she just wanted to humiliate herself, which was really good.
"It should all count."
"How?"
"Before the age of eleven, Xiaogui was a man, after the age of eleven, Xiaogui was a woman, and now, Xiaogui is a strange woman with all kinds of amorous feelings." Xiaogui deliberately stimulated her.
"Whew!" Li Lianqiao laughed.
"Don't think it's okay for a woman to be just a handsome face, think about it, why Xu Yongzhi had you by his side in the first place, and he still came to me. Men can't be satisfied just by their faces, you have to have what women should have, without those funds on their bodies, and still want to seduce men, it's really wishful thinking. ”
"Eldest princess, I don't have the heart to seduce men," Xiaogui replied confidently, "I'm good, the eldest princess is good, they are all His Majesty's courtiers, I want to share worries for Your Majesty, Your Majesty needs my mind, then I will give my mind, Your Majesty needs my strength, I will give my strength, if there is no both, I have to sacrifice my body to give Your Majesty relief, but I think that such a woman, Your Majesty is not lacking." ”
"Are you saying I don't have the brains and the strength?" Li Lianqiao was furious.
"Don't dare!"
Li Lianqiao thought about it, it seems to be even more disadvantageous to substitute himself like this, and he can't say that he is the one who gave His Majesty a physical body.
She took a step forward, put it close to Xiaogui's ear, and said viciously: "You wait for me, Xu Yongzhi has been arrested by me, sooner or later he will confess and rebel, at that time, you will be beheaded, and you will also be in trouble!" ”
"Such great news," Xiao Gui said casually, "the eldest princess won't wait so long to tell me, right?" ”
“……”
"Also, what's the matter with these two bruises on the eldest princess's face?"
Although Li Lianqiao had tried his best to dress up with fat powder, the two palm prints that were beaten by Huo Yizun were still seen by Xiaogui, this was not a wound, and it was useless to put a healing spell.
"Is it domestic violence? Is the new boyfriend so cruel? I'll help you beat him up. ”
Li Lianqiao waved his hand to hit Xiaogui, and suddenly saw the innocent smile she revealed.
"This guy is not stupid, he slapped her in the face, Li Yu will be angry when he comes to paint."
At this time, a father-in-law outside-speaking person asked, "Is the eldest princess here?" ”
Li Lianqiao sat back in his place:
"What's the matter?"
Gonggong Yan, who was in charge of logistics in the inner court, came in with a smile on his face, he had passed the news to Xiaogui before, and it was the dark line of Shanzitang.
"Eldest princess, the fox skin mattress has been brought to you, and the slave has chosen the best."
Li Lianqiao covered his ears and shouted vigorously: "It's a panda!" It's a panda! The main thing in this company is the panda! Yes! Yes! Ah——————h
After she finished roaring, she snorted and rushed out of the door, and the little eunuch behind hurriedly followed behind with a mattress on her back.
Gonggong Yan whispered: "Zhaorong is fine, I heard that she came to the studio, so I quickly found an excuse to come over, afraid that she would be unfavorable to you." ”
"It's okay, I was worried that she would have some means, but she just humiliated me."
"Don't underestimate the enemy, this woman is not simply crazy, she has calculations."
"I know, thank you Gong Yan."
Gonggong Yan raised his voice and said:
"The minions are gone."
Everyone was empty, and Xiaogui asked the eunuch and palace maid to set the meal.
The studio is a small kitchen, which is relatively free, and you can just ask someone to do what you want to eat.
Fried Wuchang fish with autumn oil perilla, fried pork belly slices with tempeh, a stir-fried sunflower cabbage, a soft tofu and green vegetables boiled soup.
If the eldest princess hears it, she is afraid that she will die of hunger, she is also from Southern Chu.
You must not allow such wicked people to eat, it will ruin their appetites.
After eating two bites, the palace maid came in and reported: "Imperial Doctor Xiong's granddaughter is here." ”
"Let her in."
Sister Qiao ran in in a hurry.
"Don't worry, haven't eaten."
"Didn't eat it."
"Your family is from Ezhou, you should be used to eating, come and eat together."
"Hey, it's so fragrant, I'm eating, Zhaorong can see for yourself."
Sister Qiao got the original.
In the autumn of the third year of Tianfu, Xiong Shihai wrote the case of Tian's vein.
"Little Sister Gui (she regards herself as a best friend and confidant), you are really amazing, how do you know that my grandfather will keep the pulse?"
"The best doctor, I'm going to keep this."
"Hey, hey, hey."
"Did you read it?" Xiaogui asked.
"No, I'm your confidant, if you don't let me see it, I won't watch it."
Xiaogui gently unfolded the pulse case.
Twenty years ago, an unsolved case and a piece of history slowly unfolded in front of the two.
There are a lot of pulses that can be skipped.
The matter of happy pulse has always been a matter of "time and time", in other words, it is impossible to tell that you are pregnant or not by the pulse.
Some doctors say that Ximai is like a small bead dangling in a bowl, but if you really look for a few pregnant people and a few who are not pregnant to distinguish them, this judgment will be wrong.
But there is a good point, that is, the four words "look, hear, ask, cut", you see that the woman's belly is obvious, ask her, and find that she has stopped menstruation for three months, which is clearly the happy pulse.
There is another good thing about the imperial doctor, that is, there is a kind of thing in the palace, called the living record, in other words, the time when the emperor and the prince favored the concubines, everyone has a record, so according to this time, it can basically be calculated that one is eight or nine and ten.
The picture on the case of Imperial Physician Xiong has been changed, and there are three blackened words in front of "Tian's".
Xiaogui lit a candle, gently scraped the ink on the pulse case, and then looked at it by candlelight behind him, and there were three characters of "princess".
Xiaogui's tears fell.
"Little sister, why are you crying?"
"Can you and your senior brother still get married?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Great."
"Thank you, Sister Qiao, I confirmed, my senior brother is the son of my sister, we are definitely not brother and sister!"
"Great!"
Sister Qiao ran all the way, was hungry, and ate all the dishes on the table.
"Eat more, you're still growing."
After eating, Sister Qiao said to Xiaogui, "Sister Xiaogui, you can take care of the pulse case, and show it to your senior brother, so that he can rest assured." ”
Sister Qiao's reminder makes sense, this is particularly important evidence.
But if this evidence is released, I am afraid that the ancestors and grandchildren of the Xiong family will be in great trouble.
That's okay, if you need to release the evidence in the future, you can just take the old and the young with you anyway.
"Sister Qiao," Xiaogui took off a jade bracelet from his wrist and put it on for Sister Qiao, "This is for you, I am very happy to have a sister like you, sister." ”
Sister Qiao saluted and said goodbye and went out.
Xiao Gui pondered the pulse case carefully.
The crown princess Tian was three months pregnant in the autumn and October of the third year of Tianfu.
Xu Yongzhi is Tianfu's birthday in the spring and March of the fourth year.
Xu Yongzhi was conceived in the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Xu Zhixun said that for six months, he was trapped in the confinement of the Peach Blossom Land Wizards Guild.
Xu Yongzhi is the son of Li Hongji, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xu Zhixun has always known this matter clearly, and he has never mentioned it.
In a flash, the whole world became clear:
The master was forcibly married by Li Hongji,
Master was imprisoned by Li Lianqiao,
My mother is pregnant,
Shi Niang was forced to hang herself.
The master was rescued by the master,
The two became husband and wife.
Shi Niang gave birth to Xu Yongzhi,
The master regarded it as his own and raised Xu Yongzhi as an adult.
Xiong Shihai knew that the crown princess was pregnant, but he didn't know that the crown princess was the wife of the Xu family.
Li Yu and Li Lianqiao didn't know Xu Yongzhi's identity.
Li Lianqiao has always hoped to have a child with Xu Yongzhi, thinking that he will be the most powerful "half-blood wizard" in the prophecy.
The half-blood wizard in the prophecy may not be Xu Yongzhi's child, but himself.
Zhang Huan may know about this, but Xu Zhixun may not let him say it.
Xiaogui quickly put away the pulse case, this is a big secret.
Li Yu does not have a son, Xu Yongzhi is the son of the deposed prince, and if someone supports him, he can make a claim to the throne of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
If Li Yu knew, he would definitely hunt him down;
After Li Lianqiao knew that he was not a pure-blood wizard, he might not think about capturing him alive anymore, but would be ruthless.
Now the question is, I want to tell Xu Yongzhi, isn't Master his biological father?
Xu Yong said last time that he wanted to defect to the Great Zhou and destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, if he knew his identity, would he reconsider this decision?
After thinking about this, Xiaogui thought of Tian Xiaoqian, the teacher he loved very much.
How did Tian Xiaoqian accept Li Hongji, was it drunk, narcotic, violent, seduced, brainwashed, or was there really a relationship between the two?
How did Xu Zhixun accept this? Do you think that both of you have received other people of the opposite sex, or is it an extremely extensive love, or is it a special kind of spoiling?
In any case, Xu Zhixun is a good father. Master Zhang Huan's sentence "Xu Zhixun and Tian Xiaoqian are the best people I have ever met" is not a lie. And this pulse case may bring great confusion to Xu Yongzhi.
But if you don't tell him, I am afraid that he will not be forgiven for the crime of killing his own uncle.
That night, Xiaogui didn't fall asleep.
