The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 599 Past and present (two more)

Xuan Pinghou ignored the doctor's instructions, and slammed the wheelchair, stepped forward, picked up the fainted Princess Xinyang, and carried her into the carriage.

This scene happened so suddenly that even Yujin didn't recover immediately.

Obviously, the princess's problem has been alleviated a lot, why did it suddenly happen again?

Because she has already fainted, she can't take care of what she said earlier not to ride in the same carriage with anyone.

"Come up." Xuan Pinghou said to Yu Jin.

"Yes."

Yujin got into the carriage.

"Let me come, Master Hou." Yujin said softly.

Xuan Pinghou looked at the pale Princess Xinyang in his arms, thought about the possibility that she would faint from fright if she woke up halfway, finally nodded, and handed Princess Xinyang to Yujin.

Yujin hugged Princess Xinyang, and gently held Princess Xinyang's hand.

Xuan Pinghou frowned.

Although he and Princess Xinyang do not interfere with each other, they are husband and wife, and they have been husband and wife. Now he can only watch her lying in the arms of a woman.

What's the matter!

Xuan Pinghou looked irritated!

He stood up abruptly and opened the curtain.

Yujin was taken aback, and asked, "Master Hou, what are you doing?"

Xuan Pinghou said coldly: "Get out of the car and ride the horse, so that she won't wake up and be stunned by me."

"But your injury..." Before Yujin finished speaking, Xuan Pinghou got out of the carriage, robbed a servant's horse and rode on it.

Xiao Heng went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to deal with official business. Gu Jiao lay on the bed for several days, and today she was finally able to move around freely. She first went to the yard to loosen her muscles and bones, and then she picked up the red-tasseled gun and used a set of marksmanship.

Martial arts should be practiced every day, otherwise it is easy to learn by hand.

Xuanpinghou and Princess Xinyang came back halfway through her practice.

Gu Jiao knew that the two of them had entered the palace, but when they went there they took the same carriage, but when they came back, it was Marquis Xuan Ping riding the horse and Princess Xinyang riding the carriage.

This is... a quarrel?

Xuan Pinghou got off his horse lightly, and threw the whip to the maidservant at the gate.

Immediately he said to Gu Jiao in the yard: "The princess has fainted, go and have a look."

"Oh." Gu Jiao put away the red-tasseled gun, and looked around.

"give me.

"Xuan Ping Hou stretched out his hand to Gu Jiao, and took her red-tasseled gun over.

Gu Jiao glanced at his waist and thighs, said nothing, and walked to the door.

Gu Jiao carried the unconscious Princess Xinyang back to the house, and put her on the soft bed.

Yujin followed in and asked worriedly, "Jiaojiao, is the princess okay?"

Gu Jiao looked at her pupils first, they were still normal, then put three fingers on her wrist and began to signal her pulse: "What's the situation? How did you faint?"

Yujin lowered her eyes and said: "The one who fainted at the gate of the palace, I went to Huaqing Palace and Kunning Palace before fainting, I didn't follow, I don't know what happened, the princess's expression was not quite right when she came out of Kunning Palace At the door, the princess and Lord Hou said that they would not ride in the same carriage with Lord Hou, Lord Hou... Lord Hou asked the princess a few words, and then the princess fainted."

"She fainted when you asked her? Did it make her angry?" Gu Jiao untied Princess Xinyang's skirt and the tightly bound belt so that she could breathe better.

Princess Xinyang's angina pectoris had been cured long ago, and her fainting had nothing to do with angina pectoris, but rather she fainted after being stimulated.

There is obviously something hidden in Yujin's words.

After Gu Jiao undressed Princess Xinyang, she pulled a thin quilt to cover her.

She turned to look at Yujin: "Aunt Yujin, if you don't tell the truth, it will be difficult for me to make an accurate diagnosis for the princess."

Yujin hesitated to speak.

After Xuan Pinghou put Gu Jiao's red-tasseled gun away, he walked in.

It was even more difficult for Yujin to speak.

Gu Jiao pointed to the chair beside her: "Sit."

Xuan Pinghou is definitely the most disobedient patient, tell him not to move around, his wound must be swollen again.

The atmosphere in the room was very strange for a moment.

Xuan Ping Hou looked at Yu Jin with a real gaze, which made Yu Jin unable to breathe.

Yujin looked at the unconscious Princess Xinyang, feeling a battle between heaven and man in her heart, and finally her desire to heal Princess Xinyang prevailed.

She lowered her head and said slowly: "Princess Xinyang cannot touch men, but any man who gets too close will make her feel uncomfortable."

"To what extent? How close and uncomfortable?" Gu Jiao asked rigorously.

"That's it..." Yujin is still an organized person. After a short period of tension and confusion, she sorted out the situation of Princess Xinyang clearly, "If it is outside, the distance of three steps is the limit. If it is inside... …Princess Xinyang cannot share a room with a man."

Xuan Pinghou frowned: "So that time in the attic, she was really scared, and she was still stubborn."

This happened a few months ago, before Gu Jiao went to the frontier, Princess Xinyang fell and was injured in the attic, Xuan Pinghou went up to rescue her, but she was terrified.

Gu Jiao also came to the scene later, and she also saw the strangeness of Princess Xinyang, but based on the situation at that time, Gu Jiao thought it was due to spatial claustrophobia.

"How long has she been in this situation?" Gu Jiao asked.

Yujin shook her head: "I don't know, the princess didn't tell me. I only came to serve the princess after she got married. She already had such a situation at that time. I tried to ask the princess, but the princess didn't know anything. Refuse to say."

Gu Jiao pondered: "Since you came to the princess, has the princess always been like this? Or has the situation worsened or improved?"

Yujin said truthfully: "It has gotten better in the past two years, and I can now ride in the carriage with Lord Hou."

In fact, Princess Xinyang also rode in the carriage of the pharmacist of the Yan State, but the carriage of the pharmacist of the Yan State has no curtains, and the front and back are open, not like a claustrophobic space.

Xuan Ping Hou thought of the recent experience of riding in a carriage with Princess Xinyang: "But Ben Hou sees her as not easy."

"So Master Hou found out?" Yujin was surprised.

Xuan Pinghou snorted coldly and said, "What? In your eyes, I'm just a big bastard? Can't you notice any of these trivial things?"

Yujin bowed her body: "Yujin made a slip of the tongue."

Xuan Ping Hou said solemnly: "I don't blame you, men who are military commanders are indeed not as delicate as your women, but this Marquis is very talented, how can he be an ordinary person?"

Yujin: "..."

Is it okay to put gold on your face like this?

Yujin could only pretend that she didn't hear it, and then said in her own words, "It's not easy, but I can hold it back. If I can't help it, I will pass out like today."

Gu Jiao murmured: "But Xianggong and Long Yi seem to be fine."

Yujin nodded slightly: "Young Master and Long Yi are exceptions."

Xuan Ping Hou was not happy.

Forget about Xiao Heng, that is her son, but why is Long Yi an exception!

Yujin hurriedly explained: "Long Yi didn't get close to the princess from the beginning, it's because the young master likes Long Yi so much, he always wants to pester Long Yi, Long Yi has been with the princess and the young master for a long time, Slowly let the princess see him as a child."

So in Qin Fengwan's eyes, Xiao Ji is a serious and majestic man.

Xuan Pinghou raised his eyebrows.

Wait, something is still wrong.

Yu Jin looked at Xuan Ping Hou, and said earnestly: "Master Hou, the princess doesn't hate you on purpose, she just can't get along with men, please don't blame her anymore."

Xuan Pinghou frowned, and murmured: "So she really took the wrong medicine that night..."

"Master Hou, what did you say?" Yujin didn't hear clearly.

Xuan Ping Hou Dan said: "Nothing."

Is he co-authoring an antidote for a woman?

Gu Jiao finished measuring the blood pressure for Princess Xinyang, and said: "Aunt Yujin said that the princess's condition has improved in the past two years, but today she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. She must have been stimulated by something in the palace. Does the Marquis have any impression?"

Xuan Ping Hou certainly has an impression.

It was after Empress Xiao mentioned the old Liang Wang and his wife that something was wrong with Princess Xinyang.

After coming out of Zhuque Street, Xuan Ping Hou went back to Xuan Ping Hou's mansion.

Guanshi Liu didn't go to war with him, and he hadn't seen his master for several months, his eyes lit up with excitement: "Master Hou! You're back!"

"Okay." Xuan Pinghou waved his hands impatiently, sat on the chair, and said, "Do you know the old King Liang?"

Liu Guanshi said: "Uh, I know, the ninth uncle of His Majesty and Princess Xinyang, why did the Hou suddenly ask him?"

Xuan Pinghou said: "Investigate him and the old concubine Liang."

Liu Guanshi asked: "Can you ask me why?"

Xuan Pinghou gave him a slash, and Liu Guanshi shrank his neck resentfully: "Young ones can't."

"You don't need to check all of them." That would be too time-consuming. Checking the news is as important as going to battle to kill the enemy. Xuan Pinghou thought for a while and said, "Just check something related to Princess Xinyang."

Liu Guanshi had a speechless expression: "Master Hou, you have made such a big detour, if you want to investigate Princess Xinyang, just say so."

Xuanping Hou said lightly: "What? I can't investigate?"

Manager Liu hurriedly said with a sneer: "Yes, yes, you are Lord Hou. Who can you investigate? But, you don't need to investigate. Ask me what you want to know. I am from the old Liang Palace!"

Xuan Pinghou looked at him with a twitch of his mouth: "Do you still have this experience?"

Guanshi Liu coughed lightly and said, "I... I am not a very important person. I was just a handyman in the old Liang Wang's mansion. Later, the old Liang Wang moved to a fiefdom to build a mansion, and I didn't go with him."

"I don't want to take you there." Xuan Pinghou broke him down.

Guanshi Liu smiled on the skin.

He was still young at that time, just a small handyman, so naturally he was not qualified to go to the fiefdom.

Xuan Pinghou continued: "Then tell me about the old Liang Wang and his wife, they dote on Princess Xinyang very much, is it true or not?"

Liu Guanshi said without hesitation: "It's true! It's more real than real gold! The old Liang Wang listens to music, and he raised a troupe in his house. I was young at the time, only eight years old, and I came in with the troupe. The next play The team disbanded, so I didn't leave, I stayed and worked as a small handyman. I heard in the mansion that the old Liang Wang and the old Liang Wangfei loved the late emperor's seventh princess very much."

At that time, Princess Xinyang hadn't reached Ji and had no title. She was ranked seventh, so the servants called her Seventh Princess.

Liu Guanshi continued: "The old Liang Wang and his wife often visit Princess Xinyang in the palace. They have no daughter or granddaughter, so...they always take Princess Xinyang as their sweetheart and love."

Xuan Pinghou said: "I know these things, I heard that they even took Princess Xinyang to live in their residence."

Guanshi Liu said excitedly: "That's right, there is such a thing! The theater troupe broke up because of Princess Xinyang!"

"What do you mean?" Xuan Pinghou frowned.

Liu Guanshi recalled it, and said: "I remember... Princess Xinyang was only six or seven years old that year. She came to live in the mansion for a while. I was lined up... I forgot what I was lined up for, but I just remembered that I took a knife and wandered around the stage."

"She likes to listen to opera?" Xuan Pinghou has never seen her listen to opera in these years.

Liu Guanshi shook his head: "Thinking about it now, I feel that the princess didn't like to listen at that time. She sat quietly between the old Liang king and the princess, and they each held her hand lovingly. The maids and mothers-in-law were all laughing, but she remained expressionless."

Xuan Pinghou's eyes darkened: "How did the disbandment of the troupe have something to do with her?"

Liu Guanshi said: "One day very late, Princess Xinyang came to the troupe suddenly. The troupe asked her what she was doing, but she didn't speak. The troupe thought she was going to listen to the opera, so he went on stage again and sang a few songs for her. Then the host said to her, Princess Seven, it’s getting late, shall we sing again tomorrow? She..."

These things have been going on for a long time, Liu Guanshi can't remember clearly, but for some reason, when I suddenly think about it today, the eyes of Princess Xinyang at that time became very clear in my mind.

"She seemed to be begging."

Guanshi Liu said in a daze.

But she eventually left.

Walked away alone.

The next day, news spread that Princess Xinyang had broken her leg.

It is said that she was injured on the way back from the theater troupe. The old Princess Liang blamed everything on the theater troupe, and disbanded the theater troupe involuntarily.

Xuan Pinghou pondered for a moment, then said: "Then let me ask you, has anyone in the house ever bullied her?"

Liu Guanshi said without hesitation: "Of course not! Liang Wang and his wife dote on the princess very much, no one dares to bully her! I remember one time, the son of the old Liang Wang had an argument with the princess for some reason, and pushed the princess to the ground. The ground is grass, so it doesn't hurt, but when the old Liang Wang found out, he hung up his own son and beat him up!"

Xuan Pinghou said thoughtfully: "Qin Fengwan's temperament...isn't very pleasing. Of all the princesses, she is the most bored and the least like a child. Liang Wang and his wife don't like the lively and lovely Ning An. Don't like Deqing who is educated and reasonable, but you like her?"

Guanshi Liu smiled: "Princess is the prettiest!"

This is true.

Among so many princesses, Xinyang was the most beautiful when she was young.

In the afternoon, Xuan Pinghou still went to Zhuque Street.

Gu Jiao is boiling medicine in the small kitchen.

Xuan Pinghou walked over and asked Gu Jiao, "Is she still awake?"

Gu Jiao threw a piece of ginger into the medicine jar: "Woke up once, drank the medicine and fell asleep again."

Xuan Pinghou stared and said: "Can her disease be cured?"

Gu Jiao said: "Heart disease still needs heart medicine."

heart medicine.

Qin Fengwan, what is your heart medicine?

Gu Jiao boiled the medicine and warmed it on the stove, and told Yujin that the princess must drink the medicine when she wakes up, and the medicine should be taken before meals.

"Are you going out?" Yujin asked.

"I'll go back." Gu Jiao said.

Yujin smiled: "It's time to go back after staying for a few days. I'm with the princess, so don't worry."

Yujin prepared a car for Gu Jiao.

On the way back to Bishui Hutong, you will pass near Liu Yisheng's house. When passing by that alley, Gu Jiao said to the driver: "Stop, I have something to do."

"Yes, Doctor Gu!"

The coachman parked the carriage at the entrance of the alley.

Gu Jiao just stopped by to see if Liu Yisheng was back, and didn't hold out much hope. Unexpectedly, before she even raised her hand to knock on the door, a white shadow rushed over from the wall, rushing into the room with a roar. in her arms.

"Little Ten!"

Gu Jiao hugged the little fat dumpling in her arms.

The chubby dumpling rubbed against her in a very dependent manner.

Gu Jiao bent her lips.

"Who's here?"

Liu Yisheng opened the lacquered wooden door from the yard, and he saw Gu Jiao appearing outside the door.

Dressed in Tsing Yi, Gu Jiao still looks like a young girl, but there is an inadvertent heroic spirit between her brows.

Liu Yisheng's eyes froze.

Gu Jiao said: "Are you back?"

She said come back.

Proof that she knew he was out earlier.

Liu Yisheng explained: "Nurse Wen is getting old, I will send her back to the countryside... The fallen leaves return to their roots."

Nanny Wen is the old nanny who used to serve in the yard. She is old and weak, and her mobility has long been inconvenient.

Liu Yisheng took her to live in the countryside for a while.

Gu Jiao suddenly realized: "So that's the case, then she..."

Liu Yisheng said: "She passed away."

Her heirs are gone, it was Liu Yisheng who gave her the end.

"Those who died in their sleep walked peacefully." Liu Yisheng made a way out, "Come in and sit down."

Gu Jiao carried the chubby dumpling into the courtyard: "I was passing by today, I didn't expect you to be at home, Yuan Tang asked me to bring you something, I'll bring it to you later."

Liu Yisheng brought Gu Jiao into the main room and poured her a cup of tea.

Someone is cooking in the backyard.

Anu, the last servant by his side.

Gu Jiao's eyes fell on the boxes on the chair: "Are you just back, or are you leaving again?"

Liu Yisheng followed her gaze to look at his and Anu's luggage, and said, "I was actually going to look for you, and I want to say goodbye to you."

Gu Jiao's expression froze: "Are you leaving the capital?"

"Yeah." Liu Yisheng smiled relievedly, "I'm leaving, but maybe not just leaving the capital."

"You have to leave Zhao Kingdom." Gu Jiao said.

Liu Yisheng smiled helplessly: "I can't help it, who would lose a bet with someone? I still understand the truth of willing to admit defeat."

Gu Jiao said: "So you remember."

Liu Yisheng took out the three hairpins in the kit: "I always remember, but Mother Wen is not in good health, I can't leave her here alone."

Gu Jiao nodded.

Like something he would do.

Thinking of something, Liu Yisheng said sternly: "But don't have too much hope, I'm just going out to study, and such a good thing as being named a prince and prime minister will not happen to me."

Gu Jiao didn't refute.

Liu Yisheng put away the three hairpins one by one: "Before I leave, I have a question for you."

Gu Jiao said, "Say it."

Liu Yisheng hesitated for a moment, and summoned up his courage to ask: "You...why are you treating me so well? Is it really just because I am a patient in the hospital?"

"No." Gu Jiao said.

Liu Yisheng's eyes lit up: "That's..."

Gu Jiao bent her lips: "You have already asked a question."

Liu Yisheng choked, and smiled bitterly after a while: "That's right."

Gu Jiao saw a bamboo flute standing on the cage: "Do you like playing the flute?"

Liu Yisheng said warmly: "I like it."

Gu Jiao groaned, and said again: "When are you leaving?"

Liu Yisheng said: "Leaving in an hour, I have a special status, and it is inconvenient to leave the city when there are many people."

Gu Jiao nodded and looked at him: "Is the carriage ready?"

Liu Yisheng smiled and said, "Ready."

Gu Jiao said: "Then I'll go get you Yuantang's things."

Liu Yisheng opened his mouth: "There's no need to make a special trip, I'll let Anu and you get it."

"it is good."

On an unremarkable night, Liu Yisheng, who had lived in the capital for twenty-two years, finally plucked up the courage to get in the carriage to leave.

He was not allowed to leave the capital, he spent some money and used some tricks.

He came out of the west city gate.

He didn't know if he could come back after this trip, but he had to go.

When passing by the Phoenix Pavilion, he suddenly heard the melodious sound of a guqin.

Liu Yisheng only felt a shock in his heart.

He yanked the curtain of the carriage tightly, and stopped suddenly when he was about to open it.

Anu turned his head, made gestures, and asked if he wanted to get out of the car?

He looked at the direction where the sound of the piano came from, hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he shook his head and said, "Let the carriage go slowly."

Anu slowed down the speed of the car.

The sound of the piano came faintly, like the sound of nine heavens, like the sound of mountains and streams.

He had never heard such a melodious and melodious piano sound in his life, and the court musicians could not play her in case.

Liu Yisheng slowly took out the bamboo flute in his hand, put it to his lips, and caught up with her piano sound.

She is seeing him off.

A frightening song to send off a confidant.

She thanked him for the love he buried in his previous life, and he thanked her for his kindness in this life.
