Song Yi

Chapter 672 Identity
An incense table was placed outside the door, three pillars of high incense floated upwards, and disappeared in the wind. Gu Hualuo knelt in front of the incense table, clasped his hands, closed his eyes, muttered something, with a devout expression, no one If you dare to approach, everyone stays in one place and listens carefully to the sounds in the room. The moon slowly moves westward from the roof of the east wing until it reaches the roof of the hall in the front yard. At this time, not far away There was the sound of a watch.

"Yifei, what time is it?" Gu Xiaotian sat on the rattan chair, resting his forehead with one hand, and holding two marble stone balls the size of eggs in the other.

Gu Yifei stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Father, it's already three o'clock, and it's been almost two hours since Yun Fan went in, why don't you go back and rest first."

Gu Xiaotian shook his head lightly, and said: "No, go get your sister a glass of water, the weather is so hot, don't suffer from heatstroke."

Gu Yifei said: "Give it to him, but she won't drink it."

Gu Xiaotian sighed softly, at this moment there was only a creak, and the door of Yan Zi's room opened.

Gu Hualuo was the first to stand up, because it took too long to stand upright, but fortunately, the maid at the side quickly stepped forward to support her, so she didn't fall down.

Du Wenhao walked to the door, hissed, then closed the door, walked a few steps, and said: "Let her rest well, don't disturb her."

Gu Hualuo asked eagerly: "Has the gold been taken out?"

Du Wenhao raised his hand and everyone took a closer look, only to see that there was indeed a gold nugget the size of an apricot pit in his hand.

Gu Yifei said: "How is Zi'er?"

Du Wenhao nodded, and said: "The anesthetic has not passed, so I haven't woken up yet, but don't worry, I will stay here all the time. The operation was very successful."

After hearing this, Gu Hualuo let out a long breath, and almost collapsed on the servant girl's body.

Gu Yifei said: "Put your wife back to rest first." Then he said to Hualuo: "Little sister, you'd better go back and have a good sleep, now Yunfan also said that everyone staying here can't help What's the matter, you and your father go back and rest for a while."

Du Wenhao said: "Brother Gu said that Mrs. Gu and Master Gu should go back and rest."

Gu Hualuo listened, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, if you need anything, just tell my brother and my father."

Gu Xiaotian looked into the room from the window, and said: "Yun Fan, you should be the only one. You didn't have a good rest after rushing all the way, so let more maids take care of you, and you can rest while you are alone." I'm not tired of staring at it."

Du Wenhao said: "Don't worry about me, I have no problem, it's settled like this, everyone go away, I will naturally take care of Brother Gu if there is something to do."

Gu Xiaotian and Gu Hualuo had no choice but to leave first, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Gu Yifei said: "When will Zi'er wake up?"

Du Wenhao said: "There are at least two hours before the anesthetic wears off before she wakes up."

Seeing Du Wenhao's tired face, Gu Yifei said, "Why don't we just sit in this gazebo outside the door. Anyway, there are maids waiting in the room, so we can go there immediately if there is anything called."

Du Wenhao stretched his waist and said, "Brother Gu, go back and rest too, I'm fine here alone."

Gu Yifei smiled, patted Du Wenhao on the shoulder, called the servants at the side, and said, "Go and prepare some wine and vegetables for my husband and me, and bring them down to the gazebo."

When the servant left, Gu Yifei put his arm around Du Wenhao's shoulder and said, "You are the hardest one, you don't rest, there is no reason for me to be lazy, let's go, let's go to rest under the gazebo first , anyway, it’s almost dawn, and this is the coolest time, and you won’t feel sleepy after blowing the cold wind.”

The two went to the gazebo and sat down, and the maid brought tea.

Gu Yifei saw that Du Wenhao was holding his teacup without drinking as if he was thinking about something, so he said with a smile, "Yunfan, what are you thinking about?"

Du Wenhao took a sip of tea, put it on the table, and said with a smile, "I'm wondering why Zi'er wants to swallow gold."

Gu Yifei was startled, then smiled, and said, "I know you will definitely ask, but if I say I don't know, would you believe me?"

Du Wenhao nodded, did not look at Gu Yifei, but said: "Of course I believe you, but Zi'er has no reason to swallow gold? Could it be that one of you hurt her? She is such a pure and kind-hearted child, how can she not?" I would think of dying!"

Gu Yifei turned his head and made the maids around him retreat, and then said: "Why don't I think so?"

Only then did Du Wenhao take a look at Gu Yifei, seeing that Gu Yifei was also looking at him, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, Du Wenhao said: "Why does such a big capital have to go far to find me?"

Gu Yifei laughed, and said: "My dear brother is thinking too much about why now, right? Speaking of which, this matter was still my father's idea, and I only found out afterwards that my father asked Gu San'er to invite my dear brother , At that time, it was not without thinking of a way. Almost everyone who could come to the Tai Hospital came to see it. They only said that they were waiting to die. You also know that your father loves Zi'er the most, so you would not give up so easily, so you went to the palace to find a way and come back. Then I told Gu San'er to pick you up, that's all I know."

Du Wenhao said: "Did the eldest brother find out why Zi'er swallowed gold?"

Gu Yifei shook his head and said: "We didn't know at first that Zi'er swallowed the gold, we thought it was something wrong, because in the early morning of the day when Zi'er became ill, Hualuo took Zi'er out, and soon after returning I was sick, but later the imperial doctor said that it was not eating the wrong food, so we knew it was not."

When Du Wenhao heard this, he became alert immediately, and said, "Go out? Where have you been? Have you ever asked Mrs. Gu or Zi'er?"

Gu Yifei said: "I asked Hualuo, Zi'er was in so much pain that she couldn't listen to anyone's words, Hualuo said that they only went to Shuyu Zhai to buy Zier's favorite snacks, and then went to Ji Buddhist Temple to offer incense , I originally said that I only came back after eating a vegetarian meal in the temple, but it was because Zi'er suddenly felt unwell, so I hurried back."

Du Wenhao thought for a while, and said, "Then elder brother, have you asked the monks in the Buddhist temple and the people in Shuyuzhai?"

Gu Yifei was puzzled, and said: "At that time, Hualuo had been watching Zi'er and never left, and Zi'er had never talked to strangers, what did you want them to do?"

Du Wenhao said: "Are you sure that Zi'er has never left Mrs. Gu for half a step?"

Gu Yifei said: "There shouldn't be any, hey, if Zi'er wakes up and asks Zi'er, he will know."

Du Wenhao said: "She is not a three-year-old urchin, nor is she ignorant, so she has no reason to swallow a piece of gold by herself."

Gu Yifei nodded. It was a rooster crowing not far away, and the sky was about to dawn.

In a trance, Yan Zi felt that someone was talking to him, but he couldn't open his eyes, his lower abdomen was painful, and he couldn't move at all.

A voice echoed in his ears, and Yan Zi listened carefully, feeling that the voice was very kind and familiar.

"Now don't rush to feed Zi'er anything, and don't rush to take medicine. After she wakes up and breathes, she can drink a little water, but not too much."

Yan Zi opened her eyes vigorously, at first there were a few blurred figures, and then they gradually became clear, and she saw a person sitting in front of her bed, looking at her.

Yan Zi wanted to speak, only to find that his lips were sticking together. Du Wenhao saw that Yan Zi opened his eyes and seemed to want to say something, so he quickly wiped Yan Zi's lips with a soaked cotton ball, so that Yan Zi's lips could open .

"Brother... why are you here?" Yan Zi said with difficulty.

Du Wenhao touched Yan Zi's forehead affectionately, and found that he didn't have a fever. This phenomenon is the best, because it would be very troublesome to catch a fever in such weather.

"I came here last night. You should have a good rest. Don't talk for now. Wait until you feel better."

Yan Zi smiled weakly and said, "I really want to sleep."

Du Wenhao said: "Then you can go to sleep, you need to sleep well to recover faster."

Yan Zi said: "But I'm afraid that once I fall asleep, when I wake up my brother... just... will leave."

Du Wenhao said softly: "Don't worry, you're not good, I won't go anywhere, don't worry, close your eyes and sleep, when you wake up, brother Yunfan will still be here guarding you."

After Yan Zi heard this, she closed her eyes.

"Yunfan, are you tired?"

Du Wenhao turned his head and saw Gu Xiaotian standing behind him, looking at him lovingly.

Du Wenhao whispered: "Fortunately, why is Master Gu up?"

Gu Xiaotian sat beside Du Wenhao, first sighed softly, and said: "I can't sleep, I just heard what Zi'er said to you when I entered the door, fortunately, I listened to what Eunuch Liu said, and brought you here Oh, you see how much Zi'er misses you."

Du Wenhao said: "Eunuch Liu?"

Gu Xiaotian said: "Yeah, am I in a hurry and have nothing to do? When I went to the palace to look for someone from the imperial hospital, I met Mr. Liu and he said he was looking for you. I just remembered, so I asked Gu San I'm looking for you."

Du Wenhao said: "Who is Eunuch Liu, and how does he know me?"

Gu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, did not answer Du Wenhao, but said in a low voice: "Let's not talk here anymore, it will affect Zi'er's sleep, let's go out."

Du Wenhao didn't think much about it, but felt that what Gu Xiaotian said was true, and the two of them got up and went out. Du Wenhao told the maid who was taking care of him, knowing that Zi'er would sleep for at least a whole day, so he didn't worry. , As long as someone is watching, it's just in case.

The two walked along a long winding path.

Gu Xiaotian said: "Did Zi'er tell you just now, who made her swallow the gold?"

Du Wenhao shook his head.

Gu Xiaotian said: "Oh, thanks to you, our Gu family owes you too much. This time, when Zi'er is well, Yunfan, what do you want, as long as I Gu Xiaotian can afford it, I will definitely not Will not give it."

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "Master Gu is really proud."

Gu Xiaotian looked at Du Wenhao, and said: "I know you have always had a prejudice against me. This old man doesn't blame you. No matter what you think of me, this old man won't say anything."

Du Wenhao looked at Gu Xiaotian's gray hair, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the old man from the bottom of his heart, and said: "Master Gu, don't say that, I'm just a junior, how dare I have any prejudice against you?"

Gu Xiaotian smiled wryly, and said: "Don't talk about you, even I myself sometimes feel that I am too philistine and care too much about other people's opinions. Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous."

The two walked to an attic, Gu Xiaotian said: "This attic used to be where Miss Hualuo lived, and no one has ever lived in it. The old man thought that one day she would come back, so I should let her continue to live in it." ,well……"

Du Wenhao said: "Sir Gu, don't think too much, aren't they all by your side now?"

Gu Xiaotian looked at Du Wenhao, smiled, and said: "The old man understands what you mean, hehe, Zi'er's illness this time made the old man think a lot. It's better to be a family together."

Du Wenhao also laughed, and said, "It's best for Mr. Gu to think that way."

At this time, a servant came over, bowed and said: "Master, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu are here, and they said they want to see you and Mr. Du."

Du Wenhao said: "How do they know I'm coming?"

Gu Xiaotian said with a smile: "I'm also wondering, let's go, since everyone is here, let's go out and have a look."

Du Wenhao suddenly remembered the Eunuch Liu who asked about it earlier, and said, "Master Gu, you haven't told that Eunuch Liu in the palace how he knew me?"

Gu Xiaotian smiled, and said: "Don't talk about Eunuch Liu, probably the whole Dali country now knows that Mr. is very skilled in medicine. Regardless of him, let's go, Mr. Liu is still waiting for us." After speaking, he took a step first .

Du Wenhao looked at the back of Gu Xiaotian's head and thought to himself, since when all the eunuchs in the palace know about him, it seems that he really can't get involved with these court people, dealing with these people is troublesome.

Du Wenhao followed Gu Xiaotian to the front yard, and saw Liu Zixu and Le Qi already sitting in the hall.

"I have seen Mr. Gu in my humble position."

"Le Qi met Master Gu."

Seeing that Gu Xiaotian entered the door first, and Du Wenhao followed behind, they got up and saluted Gu Xiaotian first, and then walked towards Du Wenhao excitedly and happily.

"Student has met Mr." Liu Zixu stepped forward to salute, and Le Qi also followed Liu Zixu to salute Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Now it's Mrs. Liu, how can I afford it?"

Liu Zixu said: "Mr. is Zixu's Mr. for the rest of his life, and this will never change."

Le Qi leaned forward and said with a smile: "What Mr. Xiang said is that the master will not tell us when he comes. If Mr. Liu hadn't told Mr. Mr. Liu today, we wouldn't know about it."

Du Wenhao said, "Is that Eunuch Liu again?"

Liu Zixu said: "What? Do you know Eunuch Liu now?"

Gu Xiaotian stepped forward and said: "Okay, the old man knows that the three of you are close friends, so I miss you very much after not seeing you for a long time, but you can't pretend that I, an old man, don't exist anymore? Sit down and talk."

Everyone laughed and sat down one by one.

Le Qi said: "Master Gu, is Miss Zi'er's illness better?"

Gu Xiaotian looked at Du Wenhao, and said with a smile: "Your husbands are here, so what's wrong with it?"

Liu Zixu said: "After the court was over this morning, I met Eunuch Liu at the gate of the palace. He said that the master came to treat Miss Zi'er. That's when the students knew that the master was here."

Gu Xiaotian got up and said: "Talk slowly, the old man still has some things to deal with." He stood up with a smile, and walked out the door without letting Liu Zixu and Le Qi stand up and salute.

Seeing Gu Xiaotian walk out, Liu Zixu heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smirk: "The most feared student is Master Gu."

Du Wenhao said: "Respect is due, but there is no need to be afraid. We are all human beings first, then officials, and finally your chief. What is there to be afraid of?"

Le Qi said: "Sir, don't talk about such things. Mr. Xianggong can't be compared with Mr. He is most afraid that he will go to the court, and he will be fine after the court." After finishing speaking, she covered her mouth and started laughing.

Du Wenhao said: "You, don't say that about Zixu. I heard that many people are afraid of Gu Xiaotian, and Zixu is not alone."

Seeing Du Wenhao speak for him, Liu Zixu felt a little better, and said, "Mr. still understands the hearts of students. By the way, I heard from Eunuch Liu that Miss Zi'er was critically ill because she swallowed gold. Is it true?"

Before Du Wenhao could speak, Le Qi went to the door to have a look, then returned to her seat, and whispered, "How did this happen?"

Du Wenhao said: "I'm thinking about it too. Zi'er hasn't woken up yet, so I don't know what the truth is. By the way, Zixu, who is that Eunuch Liu you mentioned just now? I also heard Gu Xiao God said it."

Liu Zixu said in a low voice: "Eunuch Liu is the chief eunuch in the palace, the celebrity around Concubine Mu Gui."

Du Wenhao said: "It seems that this Eunuch Liu is very capable, isn't he very happy in the palace?"

Le Qi said: "Speaking of this Eunuch Liu, I have to first talk about this Concubine Mu Gui. Sir, I don't know that this Concubine Mu Gui was originally the queen's own sister, but I heard that she has a different temperament from the queen. Well, he is also easy-going, deeply loved by the emperor."

Du Wenhao said: "How do you know?"

Le Qi smiled and said: "I also heard from Bier that she was going to come today too, but she just got pregnant and couldn't go out, so she didn't come out."

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "Oh, so fast?"

Le Qi snickered, and said: "I said it too, but I thought it was also for my husband's happiness."

Seeing Le Qi sincerely said this, Du Wenhao knew that he should get along with Liao Bier fairly well, and was also happy for her.

Liu Zixu said: "This Eunuch Liu and Mr. Gu have a great friendship."

Du Wenhao said: "I can see this too, but I don't know how Eunuch Liu got the idea that he asked Mr. Gu to come to me. There are so many imperial physicians in the palace, why doesn't he let Mr. Gu go to the imperial physician to find a solution? "

Le Qi said: "What are those imperial physicians, they are not as good as a little bit of sir."

Liu Zixu thought for a while, and said: "Student knows what you mean, you are thinking, where did Eunuch Liu know about you, or why this Eunuch Liu didn't recommend the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, but just mentioned a folk doctor?" The doctor, sir, the students have no disrespect..."
