Chapter 40: The Peak Turns Around
bsp; Chapter 40: The Peak Turns Around
"According to the people of Caojiabao, although he is alive, Ji Gu's health has also become very poor." Shen Youyi sighed and said, "And Ji Gu has always been very worried about whether Ji Ying's bloodline can continue...... Although it is said that there is still a Divine Doctor Ji in the imperial capital, his nephew thinks that he may be worried that Divine Doctor Ji was also young at that time, lost his protection, and under the eyes of Concubine Deng, he may not be able to grow up, so he is looking forward to having a son and a half daughter...... For this purpose, he prepared a pair of medicines that could temporarily stimulate blood qi, and ventured down to Caojiabao alone, went into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs to recuperate his body - he accidentally met a wolf pack on the way, and died under the wolf's mouth! β
Wei Changying frowned tightly, and said after a while: "These are just Caojiabao's one-sided words, and you can't believe them all!" But what evidence is there to prove that this young man is Ji Gu and indeed died under the wolf's mouth? β
Shen Youyi said: "What my aunt said is that the clan uncle sent by the clan at that time didn't believe what the Caojiabao people said very much. Because at that time, Doctor Ji was already famous, even though this reputation could not be spread to Caojiabao at that time, but with the profundity of medical pharmacology shown by Ji Gu when he put down the poor person, it was impossible for everyone in Caojiabao not to hide him. So the man asked for evidence. β
"Can Cao Jiabao give evidence?"
"Given." Shen Youyi sighed, "Although Ji Gu died under the wolf's mouth, Cao Jiabao still collected some of his corpses for him. Among the clan uncles, he brought the best servants of Xiliang to dig up the grave and examine the body together with the officials and hunters - although the body had been buried for more than ten years at that time, the climate of Xiliang was dry, and Caojiabao chose a sunny place for him to be buried, but it was not very rotten. The body was identified by hunters as having been gnawed by wolves, but the remaining parts of the body were very similar to the portrait. Of course, it was finally confirmed that it was because of Ji Gu or because of what the poor said, and the position of the black mole on Ji Gu's arms and neck was not wrong at all! These are all viewed in plain sight. β
Wei Changying frowned and said, "What about this news...... Why have you been hiding it from Doctor Ji? β
Shen Youyi smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, you think, at that time, Doctor Ji was treating Ling Yan's chronic illness, according to Mrs. Song, Doctor Ji really suffered a lot when he was in the streets, so that he didn't have much attachment to the world, and he wholeheartedly wanted to find his little uncle for Ling Yan's diagnosis and treatment...... If this is for him to know that Ji Gu is dead, in case he can't think about it, this ......"
"I see...... "I don't tell him yet, because my father hasn't fully recovered?" β
Shen Youyi said: "That's the case. In fact, Ji Gu is dead, and there are not many people in the clan who know about it, but the lord personally told him not to spread the plan, so he has been hiding it. β
"This is really ......" Wei Changying listened to the whole story and the reason why this matter had been concealed for more than ten years, and he also felt that it was tricky: Ji Qu is still unmarried, and he usually has no hobbies, and he really doesn't seem to have any nostalgia for the world - thinking that he faced the persecution and intimidation of the powerful before, he would rather bend than bend, but also because of this depression and anger in his heart, he refused to bow his head. The only thing he couldn't forget was to find this little uncle who was still alive in case he was missing, and in order to achieve this goal, he spent decades pondering Wei Zhenghong's illness in order to get out and go to Xiliang to find it in person.
If he knew the truth, under the huge blow, he would deliberately cure Wei Zhenghong...... He couldn't think of it and didn't want to be treated, but what should he do if he asked Wei Zhenghong?
Even if Wei Zhenghong is cured...... In this way, Ji Quai's illness can be regarded as Wei Changying's father saver, and Wei Changying can't bear to see him die of grief.
However, Ji Quzhi's previous agreement with Mrs. Song was to cure Wei Zhenghong and let him go to Xiliang to find his relatives.
Now Wei Zhenghong is recovering, that is to say, after a while, Mrs. Song has no reason to stop Ji Qu from coming to Xiliang. If it is forcibly blocked, how can Ji Quzhi not guess the truth?
Wei Changying couldn't help but mutter, "Strange Dao Grandmother allowed Divine Doctor Ji to start looking for his uncle now, but she was silent and refused to use the power of the Shen family, so she actually asked Xin Miao to find out the news while practicing medicine...... What did you say to let Xin Miao sharpen her medical skills, and what did the Shen family not find out in the past, the original real purpose...... But it's procrastination? β
Shen Youyi groaned: "According to my nephew's opinion, I also think that it is not appropriate to expose this matter now. β
"You have to ask your grandmother." Wei Changying rubbed her eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "However, there is no need to hide it from Xin Miao, after all, she doesn't want to see anything happen to Doctor Ji...... Father, he is already improving, Doctor Ji will come to Xiliang in person sooner or later, it is impossible for him to find no one in his life, right? Xin Miao has found all the clues of Caojiabao! Sooner or later, I have to tell him, I think it is better to discuss with Xin Miao first, in the end she is the closest person to Doctor Ji, maybe I can know that there is a way to comfort Doctor Ji who can accept this bad news? β
Shen Youyi said with a smile: "My nephew doesn't know much about Miss Duanmuba, so I still have to ask my aunt to decide on this matter." β
Speaking of which, the Shen family has little to do with this matter, and the only thing that has to do with it is that the Wei family dragged them into the water. Whether Ji Qu's illness can withstand the news that Ji Gu has already died, the Shen family is not too concerned - even if they admire his medical skills and are more concerned in the country, anyway, they don't pay attention to how Old Madam Song will retaliate against them if this news is leaked by the Shen family and harms Wei Zhenghong.
Therefore, Shen Youyi pushed 265 and refused to say anything, for fear that something would happen, and he would not be able to get out of the relationship.
Wei Changying saw his mentality, and he didn't talk to him anymore, so he sent him away in a few words, and instructed Zhu Yi: "You send someone to the Taiping Restaurant first and explain to the people there." I have something to tell Xin Miao, Xin Miao won't be there this afternoon. "Also called Zhu Xian," Go to Xin Miao's side to have a look, if the person who came to see a doctor this morning leaves, please invite her to come." Let's just say, I have news of Caojiabao here! β
Duanmu Xinmiao heard that there was news from Caojiabao, so he attached great importance to it and hurriedly rushed over to inquire.
Hearing Wei Changying say that Ji Gu was dead, Duanmu Xinmiao was like a bolt from the blue, and sat down on the seat all of a sudden, holding on to a few cases before he fell, and he couldn't speak for a long time!
Wei Changying sighed and comforted her: "This is all a matter of no choice, I won't tell you, when I was in the imperial capital before, I also thought that this uncle of Divine Doctor Ji might still be alive?" But since I arrived in Xiliang, I can't believe it. The bitterness and barrenness of this place, you have also seen, it is not comparable to the imperial capital at all! Originally, Ji Gu's health was very poor when he was in service, but after being rescued by Cao Jiabao, even though he was recuperating...... You think that these people can't survive in their original village, so they went to Caojiabao to beg for a living. What else could be the herbs they stored? It must be something that can be found by turning over in the mountains! Otherwise, what would Ji Gu do to collect medicine in person? β
Herbal medicine is not good, no matter how clever Ji Gu's medical skills are, the degree of recuperation is limited. He didn't want to stay in Caojiabao yet, so he had to run to collect medicine...... It's really not surprising to die like this.
Duanmu Xinmiao's tears fell suddenly, he looked ahead blankly, and whimpered: "This ...... This...... How can I explain this to Master?! β
"I didn't expect such an outcome." Wei Changying hurriedly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and sighed, "It's just that people can't be resurrected after death, so you don't have to grieve too much...... As far as I can see, Dr. Ji is still unmarried, and his greatest wish in this life is to reunite with his uncle. But now it seemed that the wish would never come true, if he knew...... Counting it, Doctor Ji is already past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven! β
Hearing the reminder in her words, Duanmu Xinmiao cried even more: "Master has always said that his greatest hope in this life is to find this only living uncle, and then reunite with his uncle and nephew and live this life in peace!" But I don't want to...... But I don't want this uncle to die decades ago...... Where can Master stand such news? He's all counting on it! β
Wei Changying also felt very uncomfortable in her heart - but this matter was beyond the power of man, and after being silent for a while, she could only persuade her to mourn in a clichΓ©, and said: "You are sad like this yourself now, how can you persuade Lingshi in the future?" Knowing that Doctor Ji may not be able to stand this news, you have to think of something! β
Duanmu Xinmiao almost cried out, "What can I do? Sister-in-law, you don't know why Master was willing to accept me as an apprentice in the first place! It was because he asked me why a young lady who didn't learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from him was neither elegant nor decent? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed and excluded by your sisters and young ladies from the same background as me? I said that it was all for my eldest sister and nephew, even if I was ridiculed, I didn't care...... Master accepted me for this answer! How can you tell him the news! β
Wei Changying's face also changed when she heard this-Duanmu Weimiao and King Cai are still the daughter-in-law and grandson of Queen Qian! Even though Empress Qian tried his best to protect Ji Ying after his accident, was it because of Empress Qian's family that Ji Ying and his family suffered a catastrophe? Ji Quzhi has been angry with the Deng family so far, and he will actually accept Duanmu Xinmiao...... I speculated that Ji Qu's illness was because Qian Hou did his best, but it turned out that it was because he was sick with Duanmu Xinmiao!
This is even more worrying - Ji Quzhi attaches so much importance to Ji Gu, how can he bear the bad news that Ji Gu has passed away decades ago???
The two were silent for a long time, and Duanmu Xinmiao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not reconciled!" When Mrs. Song entrusted this matter to the Shen family, my master's reputation was not as great as it is now, so maybe the Shen family was perfunctory? I'm going to go to Caojiabao and open the tomb again to see if it's my master's uncle!" Perhaps, the people of Caojiabao coveted his uncle's medical skills and deliberately hid him, but they got a stand-in to send the people of the Shen family! β
Wei Changying couldn't bear to persuade: "You don't want to be like this, the people who went to the Shen family at that time also checked again and again to confirm." You haven't seen Ji Gu, how can you tell the truth from the fake? At the beginning, the people who went to the Shen family took the portrait to compare their faces, and then looked at the position of the black moles on their necks and arms......"
"Wait!" When Duanmu Xinmiao heard this, she suddenly thought of something and interrupted her, "Black mole? Could it be that it was confirmed that it was my uncle's corpse...... Is it because of the location of those black moles?! β
