I won't brag to you, but I'm a disciple of the divine doctor Zhu Xinsuo. Even if I can't cure you with a leg disease, at least it won't hurt from time to time in the future, and it won't get worse. ”

Gu Xueqi smiled slightly when she heard this, her face was quite indifferent. Shaking his head, he said, "If you want to see it, you can help me see it, but don't say these comforting words." I have had frequent seizures in the past few years, and the imperial doctors are helpless. This time I came to live in the palace, and it was also the Empress Dowager's kindness that sympathized with my illness and pain at a young age, so she let me live here to facilitate the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment. But this has been cured for almost a month, and the effect is not great, and I still can't walk. ”

After speaking, Gu Xueqi's eyes were slightly gloomy, she looked down at her legs hidden in her skirt, and said with a wry smile: "I just beg not to be paralyzed in (chuáng) early, and the rest, I don't dare to have more extravagant hopes." ”

"Then hurry up and show me. I don't brag or deceive you, but I tell you about your illness (qíng) in a matter-of-fact manner, and then tell you how sure you can heal, so it's always okay, right? ”

Su Jinyao rarely met someone who made her fall in love like this, and she really couldn't wait to cure her immediately. Such a kind and friendly woman made Su Jinyao full of good feelings and protection.

Gu Xueqi saw Su Jinyao's shimmering eyes, and smiled for a moment, and said, "You look like my sister, everything (qíng) is in a hurry, and you can't wait to do it overnight." ”

Hearing Gu Xueqi mention her sister, Su Jinyao reflected the little girl in purple back then. I think that at that time, she also asked herself for a pair of bamboo cups, and she was indeed a straightforward (xìng) person when she spoke. Then he said: "I also have an impression of that girl, and I have teased my brother. ”

"Yes, your brother is also in our house." Gu Xueqi said to Su Jinyao: "Some time ago, I saw your brother once, carrying a long sword, so imposing. It's just that he worked with my grandfather (shēn), and I only met him once from afar, and I didn't say anything. ”

Of course, Su Jinyao knew that Xiaocheng'er was on an errand in the Gu family. It's just that a big family like the Gu family will definitely not let people into the backyard at will. Xiao Cheng'er is also a scholar and guard who follows the old man (shēn), and it is normal that he can't see Miss Gu from time to time.

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Look, this fate is getting bigger and bigger." Are you willing to let me see you? ”

Gu Xueqi nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't say no." But it can't be here, right? Let's go into the house, and I'll tell you about the form of qíng. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and got up (shēn) to help Gu Xueqi to walk into the house.

It's not that Gu Xueqi can't walk on her own at all, or her feet are more lame than when Su Jinyao first saw her, and she walks very slowly. It seems that it is indeed because of the pain, so I can't walk quickly.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl is the age when she is like a flower, and it is also the most beautiful. Now that she has difficulty walking because of her old leg problems, it is no wonder that she has been sitting in this small garden for a long time.

The heart that longs to walk happily, but can only sit quietly and watch the clouds rolling in the sky (qíng), makes Su Jinyao even more pity.

This crape myrtle pavilion is a little bigger than the Qinglian Pavilion where Su Jinyao lives, and the decoration in the house is more soft, and occasionally the small ornaments in some places also have the charm of a girl's boudoir.

For example, a small bamboo dustpan with cloth of various colors in it should be used for sachets; There are also a few small chair cushions, embroidered with cat heads, birds, and wild flowers, although the embroidery is exquisite, it is obviously not a thing in the palace, these should be brought by Gu Xueqi, or she made it when she had nothing to do.

Su Jinyao helped Gu Xueqi sit down, picked up a chair cushion by the side (shēn) and said, "This cat is so well embroidered, vivid, and her eyes are so energetic." ”

Gu Xueqi said with a smile: "This is a raccoon cat raised at home, it is so old that it is about to become a sperm, and it is very psychic (xìng). I usually feed it, but now I've lived here for a long time, and I don't know if Yuxuan has fed it well. ”

Only then did Su Jinyao know that one of the sisters of the Gu family was named Gu Xueqi, and the other was called Gu Yuxuan.

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then tell me now, what's going on with your leg disease." I'll listen to the process and check it out for you. At the very least, it can relieve your pain and make your leg disease no longer flare-up. If it's ideal, you can return to the state you were in when I saw you, as long as you don't walk quickly, you can't see lameness. ”

"It's good to be able to avoid pain, after all, the imperial doctors are helpless." Gu Xueqi was very indifferent and looked casual.

Su Jinyao could feel the helplessness and helplessness in her heart.

Although Gu Xueqi (xìng) is quiet, she speaks in a very organized manner, and she is not sullen with only one or two sentences. So I will tell you more about how she was sick when she was a child.

Gu Xueqi said: "I was already five years old at that time, so I have a deep memory. When I recovered, I wouldn't leave, and I lay on the chuáng for another half a year, and by the time I was able to get off the ground, I was already lame. ”

After speaking, Gu Xueqi sighed and said, "At that time, I didn't understand anything, I just felt that it was not convenient to walk, so I didn't pay too much attention to it, and I guess I fell into some diseases." It wasn't until the last few years that the recurrence became more and more serious, but it was too late to regret it. ”

After hearing this, Su Jinyao pondered for a moment, and said, "Then I'll check it for you now." Are you going to sit, or lie down? Also, I'm going to lift my skirt and check my legs directly, don't be shy, we're all girls. ”

Gu Xueqi's face flushed, nodded and said, "Just sit like this." I told someone to guard the door, and no one would come in. ”

After speaking, Gu Xueqi called two palace maids and instructed them to guard the door, and the other two closed the door in the house, latched it, and did not allow anyone to come in.

Su Jinyao gave Gu Xueqi a check-up, in fact, as soon as she lifted her skirt and pulled up her trousers, Su Jinyao felt that this should be a symptom of polio.

However, the treatment was quite timely, so the sequelae were not obvious. At least the thickness and length of the two legs are about the same, and none of the legs has obvious symptoms of atrophy, and the length is not a major defect.

It is estimated that Gu Xueqi always has leg pain now, and she is struggling with one leg all year round, so the femoral head and knee joints are worn out.

When Gu Xueqi saw Su Jinyao's serious appearance, she felt bottomless in her heart. At first, he looked at Su Jinyao with a nervous face, and didn't dare to ask out loud; After waiting for a while, Su Jinyao didn't see the situation (qíng), so he couldn't help but say, "If there is really no way, forget it." ”

"No, don't worry, I'll think again." Su Jinyao raised her head and said to Gu Xueqi: "It's not that if I don't speak, it must be serious, I'm thinking, your current (qíng) condition is much better than I expected." If treatment is started now, the pain can be relieved in the short term; If you can stick to the treatment, although you may not be able to fully return to the normal state, as I said, if you don't walk quickly, you will not be able to see that you have a leg problem. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao saw Gu Xueqi's eyes light up, as if a lamp of hope had been lit, full of joy.

Su Jinyao smiled slightly and said, "In addition, I have a final killer weapon, if you use it, you can not see the lame foot at all after being cured." ”

"Really?!!" Gu Xueqi was surprised and delighted, grabbed Su Jinyao's wrist and asked, "Even if I don't use your killer skills, as long as I can recover to the same level as before, I will be satisfied." ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Don't worry, that killer feature of mine doesn't cost money, and it's not an important treasure." When you're almost cured, I'll give it to you. When the time comes, let's go out for a walk, you're not lame, and it won't hurt to walk, how good. ”

"Good, good, really good." Gu Xueqi's big eyes were moist, and she swallowed back her tears after she pressed it, looked at Su Jinyao and smiled, and said, "I knew that you were not simple, I knew it." ”

said two "I know" in a row, which shows how excited and grateful Gu Xueqi is in her heart. Su Jinyao and Gu Xueqi have a fate, and they get along with the right mind, so they naturally want to help her. Seeing that Gu Xueqi was happy like this because of her words, Su Jinyao was also happy with her.

However, the two palace maids who had been guarding the door next to them frowned slightly when they heard this, and one of them said boldly: "Miss, the imperial doctor who treated you was appointed by the Queen Mother." If you are not satisfied, just ask the Queen Mother to give you another one. But this girl ...... She is not an imperial doctor after all, and if you want to take the prescription she prescribes, we don't dare to boil it for you. ”

Gu Xueqi immediately felt extremely embarrassed when she heard this, but she (xìng) has always been easy-going, and she will not yell and scold when she is angry, but just pull up her face and say: "My own leg, how I want to treat it is, of course, it is up to me, I believe in Miss Liu's medical skills, and I also believe in my fate with her, and I don't have to do much to be a slave." ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, shook Gu Xueqi's sleeve and said, "Okay, what they say is also true (qíng), sharing the worries of the master, is a good slave." Anyway, I can't run in this palace now, and your leg can't be cured in a day today. Miss Gu can first ask the Queen Mother what she means, if the Queen Mother agrees, it will not be too late for me to treat you. ”

Gu Xueqi still felt very embarrassed, took Su Jinyao's hand and said, "I really believe you, don't listen to the nonsense of the slaves." ”

Su Jinyao said: "It's okay, I'm young, and I only have a two-sided relationship with you, even if I am a pair of good friends from today, this feeling (qíng) will need a few (rì) to maintain." Don't worry, when you ask the queen mother, I can treat you with peace of mind. ”

"Well, okay, you wait for me in Qinglian Pavilion, I'll go over and look for you when I ask." Gu Xueqi said, and instructed the two palace maids guarding the door: "Order someone to prepare an extra cup of bird's nest for dinner, and I want to leave Miss Liu to eat here." ”

"Yes." This time, the two palace maids had no objections. Gu Xueqi (shēn) is the niece and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, and it is not okay to take medicine indiscriminately, but it is not a problem to ask for a few more bowls of bird's nest to entertain guests.

Su Jinyao said: "Okay, I'll eat here, and I'm not polite to you at all." After speaking, he looked at the little dustpan on the table over there and asked, "Does the ancient girl know how to make sachets?" In the future, if I have nothing to do, I will also learn from you. ”

"Okay." Gu Xueqi immediately agreed with a radiant look, but then blushed again, and said, "But my skills are not very good, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you well." ”

"It's okay, I'm clumsy, I can't be a female celebrity. It's a credit that you can teach me how to thread the needle. Su Jinyao was arrogant, but also for fun.

In this way, Su Jinyao and Gu Xueqi chatted with you and me, but it seemed more (rè) connected.

After a long time, Xiluo'er came, and the palace maid who was sent out to deliver food also returned. The two of them, one big and one small, stood at the door looking at Su Jinyao and Gu Xueqi, and the table (qíng) was quite weird.

Su Jinyao was the first to notice that something was wrong, and looked up at Xi Shen'er and asked, "What's wrong, something's wrong?" ”

"Yes." Xi Shen'er took a few steps forward and said, "I heard that Miss Liu is eating here, but what about the dinner sent by our Qinglian Pavilion?" If you want to send it here, or ...... Dump it out? ”

"Don't, it's a pity, send it here." Su Jinyao didn't notice anything wrong, but felt that it would be okay to bring the food to Gu Xueqi's side to eat together.

Xi Shen'er retreated, and Gu Xueqi's palace maid stepped forward and said, "Miss, dinner has arrived, but the imperial kitchen said that there is no need to prepare it anymore, just send a copy from Miss Liu's side." After speaking, he also glanced at Su Jinyao, and the table (qíng) was still quite weird.

Gu Xueqi was a little embarrassed, although she was not the official master of the palace, but she was the niece and granddaughter of the Queen Mother, and no one dared to slack off in this Yining Palace.

Even if she had always been peaceful, it was the first time that no one had done this kind of assignment.

What's more, in front of Su Jinyao, the imperial kitchen directly refused to cook an extra meal, Gu Xueqi felt that the noodles were really not good-looking.

Gu Xueqi frowned, and said unhappily: "Miss Liu's side is her dinner, I said that I want to invite Miss Liu to eat in this Ziwei Pavilion, can't I prepare one more?" How can there be a treat, and let the guests bring their own meals? ”

"It's okay, we don't have to be so particular, let's talk (tǐng) happily, don't be angry because of a dinner." Su Jinyao pulled Lagu Xueqi and instructed Xi Shen'er: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and ask someone to send my share over." ”

Gu Xueqi pursed her lips and was still unhappy, but she couldn't have another seizure, so as not to disappoint Su Jinyao, so she had to order the palace maid: "Then bring dinner over." ”

"Yes." Xi Shen'er and the palace maid agreed at the same time and went out separately.

Qinglian Pavilion is still some distance away from Ziwei Pavilion, so Xi Shen'er hasn't come back yet, and the palace maids on Gu Xueqi's side have already begun to serve food one after another.

There were six palace maids carrying large food boxes, and there were three big dishes in one food box, which was a full eighteen dishes. In addition, there are two palace maids carrying a double-layered food box with boiled snow clams and bird's nest for Gu Xueqi (shēn). Behind them were two palace maids, who delivered six staple foods and snacks.

A little master, not yet a formal princess, has eighteen dishes for dinner, as well as two desserts and six snacks. It is estimated that there are fruits, preserves, and snacks after the meal, which are all counted separately, and it is really a luxury treatment.

Gu Xueqi's face was a little better, and she pulled Su Jinyao and said, "Don't care, let's talk while eating." ”

Su Jinyao also nodded and said, "Yes, it's enough to eat." We're not pot-bellied, how can we eat so much. ”

Gu Xueqi asked Su Jinyao again: "Does Miss Liu drink?" I have fruit wine from the Western Regions here, sweet and sour, and it tastes very good. But there's a lot of momentum, do you want to try it? ”

Su Jinyao came to her senses as soon as she heard this, and nodded wildly and said, "Don't hide it from the ancient girl, I'll just take this mouth." When I studied medicine with him, the first thing I did was to collect medicine all over the mountains, and the second thing was to think about when to go down the mountain and drink a good meal. ”

Gu Xueqi smiled and instructed the palace maid to take out the wine, it was packed in a silver bottle, and the wine was fragrant when the bottle was opened, it was an authentic Western Regions wine.

Su Jinyao took a deep breath, nodded intoxicatedly, and said, "I have always been Zhu Yeqing, my daughter is red, and I have also drunk burning knives and stuffing cows." It's also good to switch to wine today. It's been a long time since I've tried this taste, Xueqi, let's have a good drink. Hearing Gu Xuebin say that there was another gift, Su Jinyao wanted to ask what it was. But I felt so anxious, so I had to pout and endure it.

Gu Xuebin said: "It's not too early, I'll go back first." Jinyao, you have to be careful when you stay in the palace. ”

"However, don't you even ask Gu Xueqi about the marriage (qíng)?" Su Jinyao didn't expect Gu Xuebin to be so calm, so she said: "I originally planned to help you get the help of the Gu family, so I wanted to help Gu Xueqi." ”

Gu Xuebin smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "The Gu family is looking for me to ask for someone, but I can't tell them yet, so the matter (qíng) is deadlocked." However, the imperial grandmother is from the Gu family, and Gu Xueqi is also her favorite niece, so there is no reason for her to marry Gu Xueqi to the second prince. The rest of the things (qíng) are not our concerns. ”

Su Jinyao asked, "You mean, the Queen Mother has other plans?" ”

If the queen mother has other plans, then the matter of marriage may just be to deal with the nobles.

Gu Xuebin nodded, and suddenly remembered one more thing, so he asked, "Jin Yao, you (shēn) are doctors, you should know about the matter of blood and relatives, right?" ”

Of course, Su Jinyao knew that this so-called "blood recognition" was originally the initial blood type comparison, so as to test whether it was biological or not.

This is the most commonly used method of recognizing relatives in ancient times, but the accuracy rate is equal to that of the Mongolian people. It is completely different from modern DNA testing.

Whether or not different blood types are compatible or not depends entirely on whether they are biological or not.
