What embarra.s.sment? That didn’t exist in her dictionary at all.
Gu Jiao, who had eaten enough tofu, went back to her room contentedly, leaving only Xiao Liulang alone in the main room… disarrayed in the wind.
Tonight, Gu Jiao slept very well.
On the other hand, Xiao Liulang simply felt his heart heating up, and for some reason, he couldn’t fall asleep and tossed and turned, waking up Little Jing Kong.
Little Jing Kong complained impatiently, "Are you adults all so disobedient? Can you just get some sleep?"
Being scolded by the little guy, Xiao Liulang really settled down. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
There was a spring rain at night, and it didn"t stop until dawn. The ground was wet, and Little Jing Kong slipped when he went out.
Today, he had something in his hands, so when he tumbled over, he failed to cover his head and body in time, and his knee was scratched a little.
Gu Jiao was outside and not at home.
Little Jing Kong frowned, came to the courtyard gate and sat on the threshold, then he put his injured leg in the most conspicuous place.
Gu Jiao came back from the market after buying some rice noodles. When he saw the little guy sitting on the threshold with his calf outstretched, she couldn"t help asking, "What"s the matter?"
It came in handy that Little Jing Kong had been saving his tears all morning. He tearfully withdrew his hand and uncovered the place it was covering, saying, "It hurts!"
Gu Jiao leaned over and looked at it, "Did you tumble over again?"
"En!" He choked with sobs and nodded.
Gu Jiao took him into the east room and took out some iodophor to disinfect his wound.
Little Jing Kong said in a coy manner, "It won’t hurt if you blow on it."
Gu Jiao held up his small chubby legs that resembled lotus roots and gave his wound a gentle blow.
Yi!
How comfortable!
Little Jing Kong was so intoxicated that he felt like he was going to faint!
And then Xiao Liulang appeared.
"Let’s go to school."
His tone was cold and his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to grab Little Jing Kong from Gu Jiao"s arms!
Little Jing Kong jumped down to the ground, walked up to him with small steps, and wore a little ostentatious face, "I got a blow, bleh bleh!"
You got a blow, and I got a ma.s.sage!
Xiao Liulang ignored the little guy in the end and merely looked at Gu Jiao in the room, greeting her calmly, "Good morning."
"Good morning." Gu Jiao bent the corner of her lips upwards.
Xiao Liulang"s eyes moved slightly and led Little Jing Kong out of the house as usual.
Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan also got up and went to school after breakfast.
Gu Jiao headed to the medical hall.
Little Jiang Li was crouching down in the backyard, feeding carrots to her little fat rabbit.
"Big sister Gu!" Seeing Gu Jiao coming, Little Jiang Li walked over with the little fat rabbit in her arms. "I cleaned the yard!"
Gu Jiao nodded, "Truly a good girl."
Little Jiang Li had been raised in the medical hall for some time and was no longer sallow and emaciated. She had a small face as big as a palm, and her facial features were very pretty. To be honest, she and Jiang Shi didn’t look like each other. Maybe one of them took after the father and the other after the mother.
"This morning, that sister came to play the guqin again!" Little Jiang Li said, pointing to the wall in Gu Jiao"s small courtyard.
Little Jiang Li had lived in the medical hall for so long that she was already aware that next door was the women"s academy, and a sister from the women"s academy played the guqin every day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon.
Gu Jiao said, "Do you want to try playing a guqin?"
"Ah..." Little Jiang Li froze. "May I?"
Gu Jiao nodded, "Well, there is a guqin in the room."
Little Jiang Li happily went to play the guqin... er, to be exact, playing with the guqin!
Little Jiang Li suffered a lot in the days when she lived alone with Jiang Shi. She developed a temperament that avoided being troublesome to others, and she was also very good at pleasing people.
She never messed up the house like Little Jing Kong, and she would definitely clean up everything after playing.
Gu Jiao let her play by herself while she headed out.
Today was the follow-up visit to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing. Gu Jiao took the carriage of the medical hall and went to the monastery.
Another carriage was parked outside the monastery, but Gu Jiao didn"t care and simply headed inside.
Last time she came here, she saw at least two Bhuddist nuns, but today there were none.
Gu Jiao went to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing’s living quarters.
It rained last night, and the soil was sticky, so Gu Jiao’s pace was reduced.
When she arrived at the door of the room, Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing and a voice that seemed a little familiar came from inside.
"You must take good care of yourself. His Majesty always has you in mind. His Majesty said that you don"t have to wait much longer. He can take you back to the palace in a few days."
"No need, I"m used to living here. I like the days of being under an oil lamp before the statue of Buddha. Please tell His Majesty not to worry about me."
"What is Imperial Concubine Dowager saying? His Majesty was brought up by you. In his heart, you are his mother. How can he not worry about you? You have suffered all these years, and His Majesty is looking forward to taking you back every day.”
"You go back and tell His Majesty that I am fine here."
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing had just said this when Gu Jiao knocked on the door.
The conversation inside the room stopped abruptly.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing asked, "Who is it?"
"It"s me." Gu Jiao answered.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing recognized Gu Jiao"s voice and said in a warm voice, "It"s Young Miss Gu, come on in."
Gu Jiao pushed open the door and stepped into the room.
When the other person in the room saw her, his eyes grew wide, "Little ..."
Miracle physician?
"Hm? Aren’t you...? " Gu Jiao looked at Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei had once accompanied the Emperor to the medical hall; it was when the Emperor b.u.mped into Little Jing Kong.
Gu Jiao still didn"t know that the other party was the Emperor, only that the other party was Chu Yu"s father, who seemed to be a high-ranking official in the court.
As for Eunuch Wei, he was dressed as an ordinary steward at that time, and Gu Jiao only thought that he was a servant of the Chu Family.
It seemed like that wasn’t the case.
"Do you… know each other?" Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing looked at the two people questioningly and asked.
Eunuch Wei looked as though he had seen a ghost. How could he meet the little miracle physician here? What he just said with Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing was not heard by the little miracle physician, was it? The little miracle physician wouldn’t be able to guess his ident.i.ty, right?
He was His Majesty"s entourage. If she guessed that he was an eunuch, wouldn’t that cause His Majesty’s ident.i.ty to be exposed too?
At that moment, Eunuch Wei had a brainwave. He turned to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing and said, "His Majesty once sent me with Lord Chu to the medical hall to visit the injured people in the accident. Young Miss Gu is the physician of that medical hall, and that was when we met."
"Lord... Chu?" Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing had never heard of a Lord Chu.Raz P."s Thoughts
