The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 36

Facing the distressed two cousins, Li Ru'an told the truth with a smile, "I have been in Luxi County for the past three years. .”

"...What Luxi County? Outside the city?" Gao Shan was taken aback.

"Luxi County... no wonder, no wonder they didn't let us see you, so you weren't in the mansion at all, you were left in the countryside so far away for three years, okay..." Gao Yan shook her head in astonishment, her eyes tearing apart , slapped the table hard, "How dare they treat you like this!"

"Countryside!?" Gao Shan almost jumped up.

"Cousin, no matter what, I'm back now. I will do what I have to do." Compared to Gao Yan Gao Shan's fury, Li Ruan said calmly.

Affected by Li Ru'an's attitude, Gao Yan took a deep breath and quickly calmed down, her gentle brows were filled with firmness at the moment, "This matter will not be left alone, An An, don't worry about it, you can get married at ease, now it's us The Gao family has something to do."

"Big cousin, I know who is a human and who is a ghost. Let me solve it myself this time. If I have any difficulties, I will ask you for help." The matter of herbal medicine has not been found out yet, and Li Ru'an does not want to startle the snake for the time being.

After several conversations, Gao Yan could only obey, and skipped mentioning it. The three of them talked about their childhood time again. Reluctant to give up, he took a step and turned his head three times to say goodbye.

Yi Feng leaned on the window and saw Li Ru'an downstairs walking away in the other direction, and then turned to look at his master who had been here for a long time.

"The girl has gone back." He didn't even know that his master had the habit of eavesdropping on corners, and the key was that he hadn't brought him with him.

"Well, what did you say she asked you to check?"

Yi Feng opened the veil and presented it, "Miss wants to know what kind of grass it is."

Xiao Huan twisted his stiff neck for a look, then stopped suddenly, picked up the grass stem and smelled it carefully, and frowned.

"The general knows what this is?" Yi Feng asked upon seeing this.

"Goat grass." Xiao Huan looked serious.

"It's the kind of goat grass from Mo Cang? It's still boiled, could it be that someone shot at the girl again?" Yi Feng whispered.

"Let Twelve and the others keep an eye on Li's house, but not too close, it will affect her."

"Yes." Yi Feng responded and exited the room.

Xiao Huan wrapped the handkerchief and put it around his waist, walked to the window and looked at the busy traffic outside, took a deep breath of the rolling killing intent under the air pressure, it turned out that she was forced to learn all her skills, and was forced to learn by her stepmother just after her biological mother passed away. When she was sent out of the house, her biological father watched with cold eyes. As a teenage girl, she must have been so desperate in the countryside to have such a cold and lonely temperament.

The night was still deeper, on the bed with carved steps, the gauze curtain was half opened, Li Ru'an, who was wearing a plain white inner petticoat, rested his head with one hand, pinched a needle with the tip of the other finger, and shot it one by one towards a piece of wood on the round table not far away, with a bronze bird head. The wick of the oil lamp swayed slightly, reflecting the densely packed needle tails shining coldly on the wood.

It wasn't until there were two small stone knocking sounds from the window that she threw out the last needle, got up, put on her coat and walked out silently.

When there was no one in the courtyard, Li Ru'an shook his head. It seemed that this person had a special liking for roofs, and he didn't think it was cold at night. He stepped on the courtyard wall, climbed onto the eaves with both hands, and climbed onto the roof with a slight effort, clapping his hands to get some stains. dust, and walked towards the people sitting on the roof beams and eaves.

"Listening all afternoon is not enough, what else do you want to know?"

Xiao Huan looked at the girl who walked up to him and sat down generously, no matter what she looked at, she was pleasing to the eye, and felt tenderness in her heart.

"I just wanted to know more about you, but I don't know that your life is like this. Do you have any hatred?"

"Of course, thanks to them, I have already died once." Li Ru'an recalled the night when he woke up in the pit. It was less than three months ago, but it seemed to have happened in his previous life.

"But you didn't touch her when you came back, you just killed Lin Gang." Xiao Huan had checked all of Lin Qing's past, his black eyes were full of killing intent, "Do you need my help?"

"No, I still have some things to figure out."

"So you want to check this?" Xiao Huan handed over the handkerchief.

Li Ru'an took it, and said in surprise, "Did it find out?"

Xiao Huan nodded, "This is goat grass, which can only grow in the extremely cold place on the other side of Mocang. Lin Gang got it from a Mocang man who was doing business in Daqing many years ago. Gambling money."

"Goat grass? Is it a poisonous weed? What is its function?" Li Ru'an was sure that he had never heard of this name.

"It's not a poisonous weed. The characteristic of this kind of grass is that if a person's health is healthy, sheep's grass has no effect, no different from ordinary weeds, but if a person is sick, just put this in the decoction Not only will it cure all the properties of the medicine, but it will also aggravate the disease, and the silver needle cannot be detected. This kind of grass is very inconspicuous, and few people know its properties, even in Mocang. I also saw it by chance. Pass."

"...So that's how it is." Li Ru'an's peach blossom eyes flashed, and she finally understood why Gao's illness did not recover after a long period of recuperation, and even Gao Kuang, the great doctor's grandfather, could not diagnose the reason.

"Someone used this to deal with you? Are you sick?" Xiao Huan's gaze was fixed on that exquisite side face, motionless.

"No, I discovered it by accident, but now I can basically confirm the doubts in my heart." Li Ru'an put the handkerchief back in his arms and said lightly.

"If you need my help, just ask, no matter who you want to deal with, including Li Yuan."

Li Ru'an turned her head and saw that the man looked calm and didn't think there was anything wrong with calling Li Yuan's name in front of her at all, she chuckled, "Not for now, you heard it today, the Gao family is going to deal with him. "

"The title of Imperial Physician of the Gao family has been passed down from generation to generation. Although they rarely get involved in government affairs, they have a very high reputation in Beijing. Both your grandmother and eldest aunt came from the Zhang family in Liyang. The deceased Zhang Tai's chief assistant was mostly his juniors and students in the court. It is not difficult to deal with Li Yuan."

Xiao Huan was quite surprised when he heard Li Ruan call her father's name in the afternoon, but after thinking about it, this kind of ruthless father doesn't matter, if he didn't allow his stepmother to oppress the eldest daughter, why would Li Ruan suffer for the past three years? What's even more disgusting is that now he still wants a caring concubine to replace the eldest daughter in the marriage. It's a waste of time, and being the empress dowager is like a child's play. This is what Xiao Huan finds most intolerable.

"In a few days you will get rid of your clothes. There are some spectacular scenery outside the capital city. I will take you there to relax." As a fiancé, Xiao Huan smiled and said the last sentence, his dark eyes were full of affection .

"Sorry, I won't stay in Kyoto for a long time, let's go and see again when I have a chance." Li Ru'an pursed her lips, it was rare to live again, she wanted to go outside for a walk in the future, as Master Baimei said, to practice medicine and save lives, and enjoy the beauty by the way Heshan also wants to go to Dazhao and Mocang to enjoy the extravaganza. As for the destination, let nature take its course and go wherever she wants. Anyway, she has an inexhaustible secret room, so she is not afraid of running out of money.

Xiao Huan's face froze, "What do you mean? You want to leave the capital?"

"I have this plan, but I won't do it for the time being." Li Ru'an smiled, "I don't want to be like other women, trapped in the boudoir, with only one side of the backyard in my eyes, and my husband, children, and a bunch of tedious housework in my life. I also have to endure jealousy and jealousy with other women to rob husbands, that kind of life is boring when I think about it.”

"Ru'an, I... King Huan is not that kind of person..." Xiao Huan had the urge to reveal his identity immediately, but he didn't know if he would be turned into a hedgehog by needles on the spot.

"How do you know that if you are not him, ordinary people can't be single-minded, not to mention that he is a son of the royal family. I don't ask for anything else. I hope to have one heart and never leave my head."

Li Ru'an looked at the dim moon in the sky, smiled and said something sour that even she felt hypocritical. In her two lifetimes, she had seen too many people who lost their minds because of love. The catastrophe of love, and she was betrayed and killed in the end, made her more convinced that love is a kind of harmful thing. If she can meet a like-minded and respectful partner in the future, it will be regarded as a great gift. What love is there? not love.

"I wish to have one's heart, and the white head will not be separated..." Xiao Huan murmured, and suddenly smiled, with tender eyebrows and eyes, "If you are safe, you will have it."

Li Ru'an suddenly smiled, "I accept your good words."

On the day of Gao's death, Li Ru'an and Li Ren got into the carriage with Gao's tablet in their hands, and a group of servants behind the carriage came to the Shanyuan Hall at the end of South Street with all kinds of sacrificial items. After the sacrificial ceremony, each of them entered a quiet room, sat on the futons on their knees, and read scriptures. At the beginning of the sacrificial ceremony, they could not be interrupted and could not go out. The nuns of Shanyuan Hall delivered fast food on time, and the day passed peacefully.

The quiet room is relatively remote, surrounded by a small piece of green bamboo forest, and there is a small path leading to the outside, which is extraordinarily wild. The nun who delivers the food is a 12-year-old girl with a dharma name Juekong. When meeting their eyes, she would smile back shyly and put a white plum on the food box. Xuegu lamented several times that this little nun is kind and beautiful.

At lunch time on the second day, Juekong was not seen for a long time, Xuegu said to Ziyan who was waiting outside, "It's already two quarters of an hour late, you go ahead and have a look."

"Hey." Zi Yan responded and raised her foot to walk out of the small path. Just after she got out of the small stone path, she heard a few exclamations accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps.

Ziyan walked over quickly, and saw Juekong was dragged ashore by several nuns by the lake under the plum tree, his face was pale and purple, his wet body was lying on the fallen plum petals, and there was a food box beside him.

"Juekong!" Ziyan ran over, seeing several nuns panicking, she shouted, "Don't be dazed, go find the doctor!"

A nun nodded in a daze, and staggered to call for someone. Ziyan slapped Juekong's face, seeing no response from the person, she stretched out her hand to get under Juekong's nose. She gasped, panicked, turned her head and ran back .

"Miss! Jue Kong fell into the water!"

"What!" Xue Gu and Li Ru'an looked at each other, quickly got up and opened the door of the quiet room, and saw Zi Yan running back anxiously.

"Juekong fell into the water in front, people rescued him, but he was out of breath!" Ziyan gasped and said loudly.

drowning?Li Ru'an dropped the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, walked out, was stopped by Xue Gu, and said anxiously, "Miss, you can't, you are chanting scriptures and sacrificial rituals, you can't go out, otherwise the madam's soul will be in trouble!"

"If my mother is alive, she won't want me to die without saving my life." Li Ru'an finished speaking lightly, seeing Xuegu step aside in a daze, and quickly walked out of the quiet room.
