"According to the people in Caojiabao, although Ji Gu is alive, his health has become very poor." Shen Youyi sighed, "And Ji Gu has always been worried about whether Ji Ying's bloodline can continue. And worry... Although there is still a Divine Doctor Ji in the imperial capital, my nephew thought that he might be worried that Divine Doctor Ji was still young at the time and had lost his asylum. Also, under the eyes of Concubine Deng, he might not be able to grow up, so he was looking forward to having one. Sons and daughters... For this purpose, he prepared a medicine that could temporarily stimulate blood energy, ventured down to Caojiabao alone, and went into the mountains to collect medicinal materials to recuperate his body. Unexpectedly, he encountered a pack of wolves on the way and died like this!"
Wei Changying frowned tightly and said after a while: "These are just Caojiabao's one-sided words. You can't believe them all! But what evidence is there to prove that this young man is Ji Gu and that he was indeed killed by a wolf?"
Shen Youyi said: "What my aunt said is that the clan chief sent by the clan at that time didn't quite believe what everyone in Caojiabao said. Because at that time, Divine Doctor Ji had already become famous, even though this reputation could not be spread at that time. When we arrived at Caojia Fort, with Ji Gu's superb medical skills and pharmacology when he brought down the police, it was impossible for everyone in Caojia Fort not to hide him, so the clan leader asked for evidence."
"Has Caojiabao given any evidence?"
"Give it." Shen Youyi sighed, "Although Ji Gu died at the mouth of a wolf, Caojiabao still collected part of his body for him. The uncle of the clan brought the most famous person in Xiliang to the Shu clan. The good man, together with the government servants and hunters, went to dig the grave and examine the body. Although the body had been buried for more than ten years at that time, the climate in Xiliang was dry, and Caojiabao chose a sunny place for him to be buried, so it was not very unusual. The hunter found that the body had indeed been bitten by wolves, but the remaining features were very similar to those in the portrait. Of course, it was ultimately confirmed that it was Ji Gu's because of what the police said. There is no difference in the location of the mole! These are all visible to the public.”
Wei Changying frowned and said, "Then this news... why have you kept it from Divine Doctor Ji?"
Shen Youyi smiled bitterly and said: "Auntie, please think about it. At that time, Divine Doctor Ji was diagnosing and treating Ling Yan's chronic illness. According to Mrs. Song, Divine Doctor Ji really suffered a lot when he was living in the world, so that he didn't have much influence on the world. Nostalgic, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to Ling Yan's diagnosis and treatment just because he had the idea of finding his younger uncle... If he knew that Ji Gu was dead, if he couldn't think about it, then... "
"So that's what happened..." Wei Changying pondered, "Then why you haven't told him yet because my father hasn't fully recovered yet?"
Shen Youyi said: "That's what happened. In fact, Ji Gu is dead, and many people in the clan know about it. It's just that the clan leader personally told him not to tell anyone about it, so he kept it secret."
"This is really..." Wei Changying heard the whole story and the reason why it had been concealed for more than ten years, and he felt deeply troubled: Ji Qubing was still unmarried, had no hobbies, and did not seem to have any nostalgia for the world. The way he looked - thinking about it, he would rather bend than bend when faced with pressure and threats from powerful people, and it was because of the anger in his heart that he refused to bow his head. The only thing he could not forget was to find his missing uncle, who was still alive in the hope of being alive. In order to achieve this goal, he spent decades thinking about Wei Zhenghong's condition in order to escape and go to Xiliang to search for him personally. .
If he knew the truth, he would be under a huge blow, not to mention that he would deliberately cure Wei Zhenghong... He couldn't think about it anymore, but he didn't want to cure it, but what should he do if he asked Wei Zhenghong
Even if Wei Zhenghong is cured... In this way, Ji Qubing can be regarded as Wei Changying's father-savior, and Wei Changying cannot bear to see him die in grief.
However, Ji Qubing's agreement with Mrs. Song was that after Wei Zhenghong was cured, he would be released to Xiliang to find his relatives.
Now Wei Zhenghong is recovering, which means that after a while, Mrs. Song will have no reason to stop Ji Qubing from coming to Xiliang. If he was forcibly stopped, how could Ji Qubing not guess the truth
Wei Changying couldn't help but murmured, "It's weird that Grandma allowed Doctor Ji to start looking for his uncle now, but she kept silent and refused to use the Shen family's power. She actually let Xin Miao pry for information while practicing medicine... Why did Xin Miao take advantage of the opportunity to hone her medical skills? Why did Shen not find out in the past that the real purpose... was to delay? "
Shen Youyi muttered: "In my nephew's opinion, it is not appropriate to expose this matter now."
"You have to ask your grandmother." Wei Changying rubbed his 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 getting better. Doctor Ji will come to Xiliang in person sooner or later. It is impossible for him to find no one in his life, right? Xinmiao has found all the clues about Caojiabao, and I will tell him sooner or later! Why don't we discuss it with Xin Miao first? She is the closest to Doctor Ji after all. Maybe she can find some way to comfort Doctor Ji to accept this bad news?"
Shen Youyi smiled apologetically and said, "My nephew doesn't know much about Miss Duanmuba, so I still have to ask my aunt to decide on this matter."
Speaking of which, the Shen family had little to do with this matter. The only connection they had was that the Wei family was dragged into it. The Shen family is not too concerned about whether Ji Qubing can bear the news that Ji Gu has died long ago - even if they admire his medical skills and are unparalleled in the country, they are more concerned. Anyway, they are not worried about the news if it is leaked by the Shen family and harms Wei Zhenghong. How Mrs. Song will retaliate against them matters.
So Shen Youyi pushed back and refused to get involved in anything, for fear of causing trouble and he would not be able to escape the relationship.
Wei Changying saw his mentality and stopped talking to him. He dismissed him with a few words and told Zhu Yi: "First send someone to Taiping Restaurant and explain to the people there. I have something to tell Xin Miao He said, "Xinmiao won't be able to go there this afternoon." He called Zhu Xian again, "Go and have a look at Xinmiao. If the person who came to see you this morning is gone, just ask her to come here." Got the news from Caojiabao!"
When Duanmu Xinmiao heard the news from Caojiabao, he took it very seriously and hurried over to ask.
Hearing Wei Changying say that Ji Gu was dead, Duanmu Xinmiao was like a bolt from the blue. He sat down on the table and held on to several cases to keep from falling. He was speechless for a long time!
Wei Changying sighed and comforted her: "There is nothing we can do about this. To tell you the truth, when I was in the imperial capital, I also thought that my uncle Ji Shenyi might still be alive? But since arriving in Xiliang, I have no idea. I can believe it. You have also seen how cold and barren this place is. It is not comparable to that in the imperial capital! Ji Gu was originally in poor health when he was serving in the army. After being rescued by Caojiabao, even if he nursed back to health... what do you think? People couldn't survive in their original village, so they went to Caojiabao to make a living. What other good herbs could they have found in the mountains? , What else does Ji Gu want to do to collect medicine in person? "
If the herbal medicine is not good, no matter how good Ji Gu's medical skills are, the degree of nursing care will be limited. He didn't just stay in Cao's Fort, but insisted on running to collect medicine... It's really not surprising that he died like this.
Duanmu Xinmiao's tears suddenly fell down. She stared blankly ahead and sobbed: "This... this... how can I explain this to Master?!"
"I didn't expect such a result." 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 don't be too sad... As far as I can tell, Divine Doctor Ji is still unmarried. , The biggest wish in this life is to reunite with his uncle, but now it seems that this wish will never be realized. If he knew... Doctor Ji would have already passed the age of knowing his destiny!"
Hearing the reminder in her words, Duanmu Xinmiao cried even harder: "Master has always said that his greatest hope in this life is to find his only living uncle, and then the uncle and nephew can be reunited and live out this peaceful life. Life! But I didn't want to... But I didn't expect that this great uncle had passed away decades ago... How could Master bear this news? "
Wei Changying also felt very uncomfortable - it was just that this matter was beyond human control. After a moment of silence, he could only persuade her to express her condolences, and then said: "You are so sad now, how can you persuade her in the future?" Master? Since you know that Divine Doctor Ji may not be able to bear this news, you have to think of something!"
Duanmu Xinmiao almost burst into tears and said: "What can I do? Sister-in-law, you don't know why the master was willing to accept me as his disciple in the first place! It was because he asked me if a wealthy lady would not learn to play chess, calligraphy and painting. Why should I learn this medical skill from him that is neither elegant nor decent? Aren’t I afraid of being laughed at and ostracized by my sisters and ladies from the same background as me? I said it was all for my eldest sister and nephew, and it didn’t matter even if I was laughed at... Master accepted me for this answer! How could you tell him this news?”
Wei Changying also changed his expression when he heard this - Duanmu Weimiao was still the daughter-in-law and grandson of Queen Qian when talking about it with King Cai! Even though Queen Qian tried her best to protect Ji Ying after his accident, was it not because of Queen Qian that Ji Ying and his family suffered a great disaster? Ji Qubing was still angry with the Deng family, but he actually accepted Duanmu Xinmiao... I thought before that Ji Qubing was doing his best because of money, but it turned out that it was because he had the same problem as Duanmu Xinmiao!
This makes people even more worried - Ji Qubing values Ji Gu so much, how could he bear the bad news that Ji Gu had passed away decades ago? ?
The two were silent for a long time, and Duanmu Xinmiao gritted his teeth and said: "I am not willing to accept it! When Mrs. Song entrusted this matter to the Shen family, my master's reputation was not as great as it is now. Maybe the Shen family was perfunctory? I I need to go to Caojiapu in person and open the tomb again to see if it is my master's uncle! Maybe the people in Caojiapu wanted to hide his uncle's medical skills and deliberately hid him, but they made a substitute. Send away the Shen family members!"
Wei Changying couldn't bear to advise: "Don't do this. The people who went to the Shen family at that time only confirmed it after repeated inspections. You have never seen Ji Gu, how can you tell the truth from the false? The people who went to the Shen family at the time were holding I checked her face in the portrait and looked at the location of the moles on her neck and arms... "
"Wait a minute!" Hearing this, Duanmu Xinmiao suddenly thought of something and interrupted her, "Black moles? Is it because of the location of those black moles that it was confirmed that it was my great-uncle's body?" (To be continued) )
