Chapter 024: See Through
When He Yu heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and thought to himself: Didn't he take me to see the concubine? Why did he bring me here, did he recognize me? I said, he must have not forgotten, and I have not changed much!
Thinking about it, she remembered that scene from many years ago......
That was the first time He Yu went out of the mountains to the Central Plains, and it was also the first time she went to a city with all kinds of people, because He Yu had been living in Xihai Mansion for as long as she could remember. She doesn't know her background, she is helpless, she is a child picked up from the main hall, she has studied with the medicine king for a few years since she was a child, and then returned to Xihai Mansion and has never gone out.
At that time, He Yu was just a little medicine girl, and her master asked her and her sister to pick some rare medicinal herbs. After finishing her errands, the senior sister wanted to buy some things, so she asked He Yu to wait at the bridge.
He Yu, who was afraid of being lonely, stood there shyly, for fear that others would look at her more, because she found that her clothes did not fit in with the people around her. But someone found her, and she was a group of troublesome children.
The group of children disliked the taste of He Yu's medicinal herbs and He Yu's dress, so they laughed at her loudly and domineeringly.
"Where did you come from to call Hanako, why do you stink so much?"
"And you're dressed ugly, don't you know how to take a picture by the river?"
"yes, go to the river for a while, let's see how you swim!"
Faced with a group of unreasonable and unrelenting children, He Yu had no choice at all, and was about to be pushed into the river by a group of them, when a person suddenly grabbed her.
"Girl, are you alright?"
He Yu looked up in a panic, and she saw a handsome and polite young man looking at her gently, and his eyes seemed to have a healing light, which instantly illuminated He Yu's shy and gray heart.
"I... I'm fine!"
The young man sent the group of children away, and ordered his entourage to help He Yu pack the medicinal herbs she had scattered all over the place.
"It's a crowded place, and it's easy to get into chaos. The girl is a little rusty when she first arrives here, and I can't help but encounter this scene, I'm really sorry!"
"Childe is serious, the child is naughty, what does it have to do with you?"
"A feng shui, a people, are all a whole. Those children also represent the face of the city, and naturally have something to do with me. Today, please don't mind, let alone spoil your mood!"
"No!"
"That's good!"
Back in Xihai Mansion, He Yu was full of thoughts about the young man, and naturally recorded his appearance. Since parting, she hasn't seen him for many years, He Yu not only remembers his appearance, but also remembers the mind that inspired her to work hard.
After years of hard work, He Yu finally became a great tool, won the first medical woman, and inherited the position of deacon and medical woman in Xihai Mansion. On the rivers and lakes, her fame should not be underestimated. However, the most stubborn obsession in He Yu's heart is not in medical skills, but in an old man.
"You are the woman who applied medicine outside Tangzhou City?"
When He Yu heard Liu Li's voice, he immediately came back to his senses and replied nervously. "Yes!"
"The epidemic has plagued Beihua for several months, the displaced people are in distress, and the government is uneasy, thanks to the girl's help, I would like to express my gratitude!"
He Yu was startled, and there was a lot of warmth in her heart, she looked at the emperor in a daze, this person was still as polite and righteous as he was at the beginning.
It is rumored that the emperor is weak and cowardly, and the empress refuses to give up power, so the emperor is just a puppet. However, He Yu didn't agree with those gossips at the moment, she only felt that he was infinitely beautiful.
"The emperor has been promoted, and the people's daughter has just performed the duties of a doctor. When disasters and epidemics fall from heaven, they are tribulations and tests, and to sweep away the pain and sickness, it is the emperor's grace, and it has nothing to do with the people's daughters!"
"Really?" Liu Li smiled indifferently, his expression soft and unfeeling. "But I think that a good government should not make the people suffer, and the Beihua Dynasty is inevitably as good as you say! Besides, I heard that the doctor of Xihai Mansion will not treat diseases at will, let alone care about the government, why would the girl make an exception?"
"It's... This matter is a long story, but Xihai Mansion wants to help one or two. Please don't worry too much about it, this matter is mostly the people's daughter's own will!" He Yu said as she spoke, and changed the explanation of the main hall, she wanted to get closer to the emperor.
"What do you mean by that?"
He Yu was about to brew a good mood and tell the story she had buried in her heart, but was interrupted by Liu Li again. He didn't ask her to talk about the past when they met, but was more concerned about other things.
"That's it, I have something to ask in a hurry, I wonder if the girl can dispel her doubts?"
He Yu nodded, "Your Majesty, please speak!"
"On that day, I sent my men to inquire about the situation, and learned that the girl would give a candy when she was treated, why is that?"
He Yu was stunned for a moment, and was shocked in his heart: Add candy? This group of people can be cured, why do they give sugar? What should we do now, what are the benefits of giving sugar?
"The emperor doesn't need to be surprised, this is just to understand the suffering of the people for many days, and want to use the sweetness of candy to cure the bitterness of the soul. After all, sweetness can dissolve sorrow, and it has a bit of a good effect!"
Liu Li nodded thoughtfully, and then his expression was bright and relaxed. "That's the same, that day, the subordinates said: The girl holds a pen in her left hand to record, and her right hand gives medicine and sugar, but I didn't think that the reason is so, and now I sigh more and more at the girl's practice!
He Yu smiled awkwardly, "Folk girls like this when they have nothing to do, and practicing both left and right hands is also a way to strengthen the body and bones." ”
"Wonderful!" Liu Li smiled, looked at Gonggong Liu, and said calmly: "It's not too early, thank you later, please ask the girl to treat Concubine Xian!"
Father-in-law Liu walked up to He Yu and instructed a group of little fathers-in-law to take her, "Please follow the girl to Concubine Xian's residence!"
"Yes, the folk girl is retiring!"
He Yu reluctantly walked out, looking back from time to time. The meeting was so sudden, short-lived, but it was a good thing to say. Although Liu Li didn't know that she had ever known He Yu, she was also full of joy.
When He Yu walked away, Liu Li took off his disguise. He sighed softly, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
"Bring me my paintings!"
Gonggong Liu took out a painting from the inner room and presented it to Liu Li.
Carefully unfolding the scroll, Liu Li fell into contemplation again, the person in the painting was the woman who applied medicine in his memory, but how did he become like this now?
"It's ridiculous, it's obviously a one-person identity, but there are three people performing it. ”
Liu Li sighed casually, and was completely captured by Liu Gonggong, and he habitually shared his worries for Liu Li: "The emperor sighs like this, do you think this doctor girl is pretending?"
"What do you think?"
"Since I sent someone to invite her, until I picked it up, this girl's identity cannot be faked. Moreover, she applied medicine that day with this countenance, and she was also a deacon and a doctor in Xihai Mansion......"
No matter what Father-in-law Liu said, Liu Li just smiled slightly.
"It seems that she can blind everyone!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You have not seen her, so you cannot compare, so you assume that it is her. However, no matter how true my identity and appearance are, I believe that the feeling will not be fake!"
"Could it be that the emperor has seen her?"
Liu Li nodded, "I've met three times, I've seen three people!"
Looking at Gonggong Liu's puzzled face, Liu Li smiled faintly, and he gently stroked the painting, as if examining his own heart.
On the one hand, he remembered everything about her, and could even distinguish it among thousands of people.
"You're still you, you're in the painting. But who is the medicine woman, and what does this medicine woman have to do with you?"
About an hour later, the door quietly opened, and Gao Hai walked in. Gonggong Liu retreated to the side, Gao Hai seemed to have something to say, but he didn't dare to disturb Liu Li.
"What?"
Hearing Liu Li speak, Gao Hai replied: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have seen her heal Concubine Xian, and there is nothing unusual, and they can be sure that her identity is not fake!"
Liu Li smiled softly, "Really?"
Gao Hai was stunned for a moment, he never told lies, why did the emperor and Gonggong Liu look at him like this?
"I just briefly tested it, she missed a lot of flaws, I think they are very well decorated with things in this place, but some things can't deceive people!"
"Gao Hai is stupid, please make it clear to the emperor!"
Her rhetoric is biased towards praise and flattery, without the style of people in the rivers and lakes, and it is not the kind heart of the woman who administered medicine that day. Besides, I pretended to say some details, and she replied one by one. But the woman who applied the medicine that day didn't give candy, and she didn't write with her left hand!"
Gao Hai nodded and smiled, "The emperor is still wise, I don't know what to do next?"
"There is no next step, let's end this matter! The Queen Mother will no longer pursue it, and the medical woman will not endanger Beihua. The matter of wanting to come to the hospital and the matter of entering the palace have the meaning of the person behind it, and the conclusion of this matter is beneficial to all parties!"
"Yes, what should the matter of the virtuous concubine pretending to be sick? Doesn't this make the people of the rivers and lakes see a joke, what if it spreads?"
Liu Li chuckled, "Then it's not up to us to worry about, let Concubine Xian entangle with the medicine girl herself!"
