Xu Lingyi's yard has a whole yard of plum blossoms, and it is the cold winter season, but this year's plum blossoms are half unopened.
There is a dark air in the courtyard.
After Xu Yunchu entered Xu Lingyi's courtyard, he looked around, then frowned, and was led by his mother-in-law into the painting hall.
In the painting hall, Xu Lingyi came out coughing and was supported by a maidservant. Her face was pale. After seeing Xu Yunchu, she blessed her body and weakly called "Brother".
Xu Yunchu didn't expect to see Xu Lingyi like this, he was taken aback, and immediately asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Xu Lingyi said, "It's because of the wind and cold."
Xu Yunchu immediately asked, "Can I invite a doctor?"
Xu Lingyi said, "I have never asked a doctor, I have studied medical books myself, and I have been a doctor for a while. I accidentally caught a cold yesterday, and I just feel unwell today. It's nothing serious." After a pause, she said, "It's not that I don't want to see my brother, it's because I'm afraid of making my brother angry."
Xu Yunchu turned around and asked the woman, "Why didn't you say she was sick earlier?"
The woman trembled, and immediately said, "Back to the young master, the slave servant saw that the young master finally came to see the young lady, and was happy for a while, so I forgot."
Xu Yunchu said in a deep voice, "Go to the butler to receive the punishment."
The old woman quickly responded, but she didn't dare to speak any more, and retreated.
Xu Yunchu sat down slowly, looked at Xu Lingyi, and asked her, "When did you study medical books?"
Xu Lingyi also sat down and said softly, "Since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."
Xu Yunchu thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor asked Su Fengnuan to see her, and she lost to Su Fengnuan in chess, so she must have been depressed. What's more, she once secretly gave Ye Chang the anti-heat medicine in Baihua Garden, and he severely punished her. On that day, Ye Chang dragged Mrs. Su into the palace to ask for the imperial edict of marriage. She must also feel that she is inferior to Su Fengnuan in every way, and she has been depressed until now. Now he tortured himself into this skinny appearance.
He was silent for a moment, sighed, and said to her, "Sister, to this day, are you still unable to let go of Ye Shizi?"
Xu Lingyi smiled sadly, "Brother misunderstood, I can't let it go, I want to achieve a hundred years of friendship with Ye Shizi, but I can't help myself? Knowing that moths are flying to the flame, why should I jump? If it wasn't for my brother to save me last time , Ye Shizi almost killed me, I already knew that he has no affection for me. Why should I think about him anymore?"
Xu Yunchu looked at her, "You really think so?"
Xu Lingyi nodded, coughed again, looked at Xu Yunchu and said, "Don't you believe me?" After saying that, he said, "I know that my brother likes Su Fengnuan. In Yanbei, for her, he would not hesitate to hurt himself. My brother would not Please, it’s even more hopeless to be a younger sister, so don’t ask.”
Xu Yunchu said, "If you can really think like this, that's the best." After saying that, he sighed and said, "Ye Shizi from the Rong'an Palace and Miss Su from the Su Mansion, although one grew up in the capital and the other grew up in the capital since childhood." They are in the countryside, but for many years, they have been in secret contact, but they are not known to others. They are in love with each other, and their love is as deep as the sea. No matter who they are, they can't get in, and they can't separate them. people."
Xu Lingyi pursed her lips and said, "Although I'm staying in the mansion, the rumors from outside still reach my ears, and I can't stop them. Say they are a pair of people made in heaven, say They are a perfect match, and I have heard too much about it, so you don’t need to tell me about it. I know it well. Don’t worry.”
Xu Yunchu saw that she was telling the truth, so he nodded and said to her in a gentle tone, "Father left early, and mother also went. Although grandpa is still alive, he is already old. In today's Guozhang's mansion, in terms of relatives, except You and I are just grandpa. In the future, when grandpa goes away, it will be just you and my brother and sister. I hope you can find a good family to marry, take care of your husband and raise your children well, and have a smooth life."
Xu Lingyi looked at him and said, "My brother is not engaged yet, so my sister is not in a hurry." After finishing speaking, he said, "After my brother has made an engagement, my sister can help my brother. It is you and my brother and sister who are closest, and I have no other relatives."
Seeing her saying this, Xu Yunchu nodded in relief, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and said, "I'll ask Imperial Physician Meng to come over to show you later. You look so disturbing, my daughter's The body is the most delicate, so don't be sloppy. You have just studied medicine for a few days, so don't prescribe medicines to yourself indiscriminately, lest you eat it badly."
Xu Lingyi didn't refuse when she heard the words, and nodded with a smile, "Listen to brother."
It was rare for Xu Yunchu to see a smile on her face. Thinking how long it had been since he hadn't seen her, he secretly sighed and asked her, "I heard from grandpa that you brought Chen Zhiran into the mansion? Why?"
Xu Lingyi heard the words, "Brother, do you still remember the few days when the Guozhang's mansion was ransacked and thrown into the prison? In the sky prison, I thought our Guozhang's mansion was over, I thought I was going to die. For Shen Zhilan I felt the same way as Chen Zhiran. So I went to pick them up, but Shen Zhilan didn't come to the manor with me, so I brought Chen Zhiran here."
Xu Yunchu nodded and said to her, "Where is Ms. Chen? Tell her to come and see me."
Xu Lingyi gave instructions to the maid, and the maid went immediately, and after a while, a very thin little girl came out. The little girl had a pair of big eyes, and when she looked at people, she was like a deer bumping. But now these eyes are full of timidity and fear.
Xu Yunchu knew something about the internal affairs of Duke Anguo's mansion, and the elder brother of the report died on the day of this little girl's birth, and he always hated it. Even if she was alive, he probably didn't want to pay attention to her. He might not care about how she lived. If he cared, he would be sorry for his elder brother who died because of him.
Xu Yunchu didn't speak, but waved his hand, and asked the maid to take Chen Zhiran down again.
Xu Lingyi said to Xu Yunchu, "Brother, she is also pitiful, let her follow me."
Xu Yunchu nodded.
As before, the two brothers and sisters said some good-bye words in a friendly manner. Xu Yunchu saw that Xu Lingyi was coughing non-stop, so he ordered someone to ask for Doctor Meng.
Imperial Physician Meng came soon after, felt Xu Lingyi's pulse, and said to Xu Yunchu, "Miss Xu is suffering from a cold, the old man can just prescribe some medicine."
Xu Yunchu nodded when he heard the words, Imperial Physician Meng prescribed the medicine, Xu Yunchu thanked him, and Imperial Physician Meng left the mansion.
When it was getting late, Xu Yunchu came out of Xu Lingyi's courtyard and whispered to the guards around him, "Send two people to keep a close eye on Miss. Then send someone to ask Doctor Meng. The expression is different, please tell him the truth."
The guard should be, and went immediately.
After Doctor Meng left the Guozhang's mansion, he went to Rong An Wang's mansion instead of returning to the mansion.
The gatekeeper of Prince Rong'an's mansion was very friendly when he saw Doctor Meng coming, so he hurriedly went to report to Ye Chang.
Not long after Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan returned to the room in the courtyard, Ye Chang raised his eyebrows when he heard that Doctor Meng was asking to see him, "Isn't this old man most afraid of coming to Rong'an Palace? He wished he could stay away from me, why did he come to the door on his own initiative now?" ?”
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "You always bully Dr. Meng, how dare you say it now?"
Ye Chang said, "The medical skills are not good, and the mediocre doctor will harm people." After saying that, he ordered the housekeeper, "Go and invite him into the painting hall in the outer room."
The butler responded and hurried away.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Meng came straight to the main courtyard where Ye Chang lived, and entered the painting hall in the outer room. Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang came out from the inside, and he hurriedly saluted, "Ye Shizi, Miss Su, the old man is interrupting you."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, pulled Su Fengnuan to sit down, waved casually to Doctor Meng and said, "You still know you're bothering us? Tell me, what's the matter? If you're asking for medical advice, Nuan'er is very tired, so don't talk about it." .”
Physician Meng choked, and glanced at Su Fengnuan, seeing that although she was smiling, her breath was weak, as if she was not as good as ordinary people, he suddenly said in surprise, "Miss Su suffered a serious injury?"
Naturally, Su Fengnuan would not casually tell people that he had lost all his martial arts, so he nodded with a smile and said, "It's not a problem, just take care of it for a while."
Physician Meng thought of Su Fengnuan's medical skills. There is no disease or injury that she can't heal in the world. Hearing this, he stopped being surprised and said apologetically, "Although the old man vaguely heard that people in Beijing were talking about Miss Su's illness after returning to Beijing yesterday." Seriously injured, today I heard that you were taken to the mansion by Ye Shizi to recuperate, but I never knew your injury was so serious. I am really sorry to disturb you at such a late hour."
Hearing the words, Su Fengnuan guessed that she was here to look for her, and said with a smile, "It was really hit by Ye Chang, is it because there is something difficult to solve in medical skills?"
Ye Chang's face suddenly darkened, "I said it, don't talk about it."
Physician Meng immediately looked at Ye Chang in embarrassment.
Su Fengnuan reached out and slapped Ye Chang, and said, "I slept for a long time during the day. Although it's a bit late today, I won't go to bed so early. Since Doctor Meng is here, I will help him solve his doubts." alright."
Ye Chang said with a bad face, "Don't worry about overwork and fatigue, didn't you say you must be obedient? Why are you disobedient now?"
Su Fengnuan said helplessly, "What's so tiring?" After finishing speaking, he said to Physician Meng, "Say it, don't listen to him, I'm fine."
Physician Meng looked at Ye Chang. Although Ye Chang looked pale, he didn't stop him, so he immediately said, "Today, Uncle Xiaoguo invited me to see Miss Xu at the husband's mansion. I will check Miss Xu's pulse. Something is wrong, after thinking about it, I still don't understand it, Miss Su knows that the old man is almost obsessed with medical skills, but it is difficult to sleep if there are doubts that cannot be solved, so she came to Rong An Palace to disturb."
"Oh? Xu Yunchu's younger sister? What's wrong with her pulse? Tell me." Su Fengnuan became interested and glanced at Ye Chang.
When Ye Chang heard that it was Xu Lingyi, his eyes showed disgust and lacked interest.
