"He’s a person newly appointed by His Majesty." Eunuch Wei, fearing that this lie would be cut short, hastened to change the subject, "Why is Young Miss Gu here?"
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing smiled gently, "She is the little physician I told you about."
Eunuch Wei was speechless for a moment.
What kind of fate was this? The little miracle physician"s healing hands had also reached the Imperial Concubine Dowager?
"Cough." Eunuch Wei was worried that the longer he stayed, the more mistakes he would make. He said to Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, "It"s getting late. This servant still has to go to the palace to give a report to His Majesty. This servant will visit Imperial Concubine Dowager again another day."
Eunuch Wei left in a hurry.
Gu Jiao glanced at Eunuch Wei, said nothing, and began to make a follow-up examination for Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.
She took out her stethoscope.
During the last auscultation for Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, her lungs were full of ringing sounds, but now it was normal.
Gu Jiao checked Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing’s pulse again, and the condition of her pulse was much smoother.
"How do you feel?" Gu Jiao asked.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing said with a smile, "After taking the medicine you gave me, my condition got much better. I only had two flare ups the next day, and on the third day, I hardly wheezed."
Gu Jiao was not surprised by this result. After all, the research inst.i.tute’s medicines were all good ones, and they were far more effective than similar medicines even in her medically advanced previous life. She said, "Always have that spray on your person; use it in time in case your asthma flares up again."
"Alright." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing responded and looked at Gu Jiao with a fond look on her face, “You’ve taken a lot of trouble to see me here, I’m sorry.”
Gu Jiao said, "I received a consultation fee from Rui w.a.n.gfei."
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing was stunned at first, and then she realized what Gu Jiao meant. She looked at Gu Jiao seriously and then gave a giggle.
"You"re an amusing girl." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing couldn"t help laughing. She looked at the clear sky and said, “The sun is shining. Is Young Miss Gu in a hurry to go back? If you"re not in a hurry, could you accompany me for a walk outside? Whenever I fall ill, I can"t go out. I"ve been indoors for a long time.”
"Okay." Gu Jiao was in no hurry to return.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing put on a cloak and went out of the yard with Gu Jiao.
The monastery wasn’t big; they would be out after a few steps. Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing led Gu Jiao out of the monastery.
The limestone path in front of the monastery was very easy to walk on, but on the way here, Gu Jiao noticed that there wasn’t such a convenient path in front of Puji Temple.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing enjoyed the surrounding scenery as they walked slowly, "What does Young Miss Gu think of the scenery here?"
"Not bad." Gu Jiao had little interest in mountains and rivers or whatnot.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing smilingly said, "I think it"s quite good, better than the palace. How many girls squeeze their heads to get into the palace, but once they really enter it, they would spend a lifetime looking forward to leaving the palace."
Gu Jiao felt that Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing was explaining her earlier conversation with the eunuch.
Gu Jiao wasn’t a talkative person.
Whether Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing explained it to her or not, Gu Jiao would unlikely tell it to another person.
However, the conversation between the two just now revealed a fact—— Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing had no choice but to stay in the monastery, or at least, the Emperor thought so. The Emperor wanted to take her back to the palace, but something was preventing him from doing so, but soon, he would be able to bring her back.
While Gu Jiao was thinking about this, Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing stopped suddenly.
Gu Jiao noticed from the corner of her eye that her body had gone slightly stiff. Gu Jiao turned to look at her, then looked to the front where her gaze was.
Ahead of the path was a tall and st.u.r.dy looking old man in plain clothing who had appeared since who knew when.
Gu Jiao, who had gone through life and death in the organization in her previous life, almost instantly felt the hidden murderous aura of the other party.
This plainly dressed old man in front of her... had killed people before.
And he must have harvested countless lives, otherwise there wouldn’t be such a thick murderous aura on him.
The other party soon saw them, and his footsteps also stopped.
Hm, did he know them?
There was a trace of complexity in the eyes of the plainly dressed old man. He went forward and saluted Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing, "Greetings to Imperial Concubine Dowager."
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing unconsciously squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, but her tone didn"t change much, "Old Marquis doesn"t have to be polite."
Hearing the words Old Marquis, Gu Jiao didn"t immediately think of Old Marquis Gu. Who told the capital to have so many Marquis?
Old Marquis didn"t pay too much attention to Gu Jiao, only regarding her as a little servant girl beside Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing calmed down and asked, "Is Old Marquis here to light some incense?"
Old Marquis kept his eyes down all the time and never looked at Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing"s appearance, "There was something wrong with the hanging bridge a few days ago, and it has just been repaired recently. I came to have a look."
The repair of the hanging bridge was Marquis Gu’s responsibility, and it should have been Marquis Gu who came here to inspect it. However, wasn’t Marquis Gu seriously injured because of his own father? As a result, Old Marquis had no choice but to come here on his behalf.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing pretended to be calm, but everyone with a discerning eye could feel that something was wrong with her breathing, "Then… Then go ahead and hurry to your business."
Old Marquis cupped his hands in salute without glancing sideways, "May Imperial Concubine Dowager take care of herself."
"En." Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing nodded her head steadily.
Old Marquis turned around and left.
Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing stared at his departing back, and a trace of disappointment pa.s.sed through her eyes. After a moment, she looked at Gu Jiao beside her, smiled and said, "Let’s go back, I"m a little tired."
Gu Jiao sent Imperial Concubine Dowager Jing back to the monastery and got into the carriage of the medical hall.
The coachman was Little San.
Little San said, "Gu girl, are we going straight back to the medical hall?"
"En." Gu Jiao answered.
"All right, Gu girl, sit tight!" Little San waved the whip, "Go!"
The carriage left the monastery, pa.s.sed the Puji Temple, and drove across the stone arch bridge.
The beautiful scenery all the way reminded Gu Jiao of her days in the countryside.
Before the carriage had gone far, another carriage followed.
Whichever way Gu Jiao"s carriage went, that carriage also went. They turned a few corners in this way.
At first, Gu Jiao thought that the other party was also going back to the city, but when Little San stopped the carriage in front of a tea shack to let them go first, the other party didn"t proceed.
When Little San drove the carriage on the road again, the other party continued to follow them neither far nor near.
Gradually, even Little San noticed something was wrong, "Gu girl, why does that carriage always follow us?"
At this time, they were about to enter the downtown area, and then through a narrow path was Chaoyu Street. At the end of Chaoyu Street was the Chaoyu archway. After pa.s.sing this archway, they had to turn a corner to reach Xuanwu Street.
"Stop in the alley ahead." Gu Jiao said simply.Raz P."s Thoughts
