Yan Cigui.

In the thick darkness, the main courtyard of Duke Fuguo's Mansion was busy, and lights were lit from the main room to the left and right wings.

Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan had just returned home. Mother Ma was standing in the corridor, giving instructions with a serious face.

Today, neither she nor Wan Yue followed the princess. They only roughly knew that this trip to the paddock might not be easy.

It was impossible to reveal the slightest bit about such a big matter to others. The two of them kept it in their hearts and did not talk in private. It was not until various news came out that they saw worry in each other's eyes.

What situation happened that made the Holy Sage send so many royal guards to the paddock for rescue?

There was a lot of information everywhere, but they were all rumors after all. Mother Ma didn't dare to believe it. It wasn't until Chen came to the Duke's mansion that they finally got a certain belief.

The prince encountered a blind bear in the paddock, and the Duke went to rescue him.

Just listening to these two sentences, no matter how much confidence Mother Ma had in her heart at first, now it has slipped through the sieve.

That's a blind bear, a beast that makes a living in the woods!

No matter how strategizing the Duke and the princess are, how can the beasts fully cooperate?

Everyone is disobedient sometimes!

When Mammy Ma looked at Wan Yue with heartache, as soon as the two of them looked at each other, they knew that it was half a pound to eight ounces, and no one could carry more sieves than the other.

It was not until late at night that Eunuch Yu came to say "safe", and the whole house breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, they continued to wait until just now, the person from the front came to announce that "the carriage has arrived at the house", and Mother Ma and Wan Yue hurriedly went out to welcome him.

The arrival of the chariot.

The princess brought a load back from the paddock and carried the Duke directly to the main courtyard and moved it into the house.

Seeing this, Mother Ma signaled Wan Yue to go in and serve the princess, and she made arrangements one by one without anyone else's orders.

I need to bring a message to Mrs. Xu so that she can sleep peacefully. It's so hard to come here in the middle of the night and it's snowing.

There was ginger tea in the small kitchen, so I hurriedly brought it in to cool it down, and said that it should be eaten warm. If the Duke and the princess have an appetite, they can serve it at any time.

Ahead, Xu Bai also sent people over.

"I have sent someone to Uncle Chengyi's house to report that he is safe. There is no shortage of people to take care of Shenchen. I just went to ask for Doctor Yue and he will be here soon."

Mother Ma felt relieved after hearing this.

With Xu Bai taking care of her at the front, everything was organized and the work was divided between them. She didn't have to take care of the overall situation alone, which made it much easier.

Just as he was about to say a few more words to the people below, he saw Doctor Yue walking through the snow.

Doctor Yue was carrying a medicine box on his back and walking in a hurry.

Xu Jian usually treats his injuries in Anping Courtyard. Today it was late at night and it was inconvenient to move much, so he stayed in the main courtyard.

Doctor Yue came here for the first time and couldn't help but look around.

Mother Ma greeted him, called the house, and led him in.

Inside, Lin Yunyan changed into clean clothes and tidied up briefly, looking more energetic.

Xu Jian also changed. He had been crawling in the snow for almost a day, and his inner clothes were wet, wet and dry again. Compared to Lin Yunyan, his face looked more tired.

He had just finished drinking a bowl of ginger tea and met Dr. Yue. Xu Jian said, "I'm going to cause trouble for you."

Doctor Yue put down the medicine box, and there was a clang sound. His expression was not very good: "It's really troublesome."

As a doctor, what you fear most is not incurable diseases, but the patient's lack of cooperation!

After several months of dealing with Fu Guogong, Dr. Yue finally understood that the Duke was really transparent. He thought about many things clearly in his mind, so that this idea was absolutely big. Don't worry about it. He persuaded her so earnestly, but the Duke of the country insisted on having his own way.

If you want to go to court, you will go to court, if you want to climb over the wall, you will climb over the wall. Today, you are even more powerful, riding a fast horse, and even had a fight with a blind bear.

Is this something a person who has not recovered from his leg injury can do?
  Having said that, this can't be blamed on the Duke of Guo. It's just catching up.

Accompanying the prince to hunt, the prince is in danger, how could he not try his best to save him? Just this one rescue operation takes a long time and consumes a lot of money. It’s really annoying!

Criticisms come from the abdomen, but Dr. Yue was still careful in his examination.

Not only on the right thigh, but also along the meridians, the strength of the hand changed several times to observe Xu Jian's reaction and ask him about the situation.

Lin Yunyan was listening on the sidelines, and she couldn't help but become nervous as she saw Doctor Yue's brows furrowing more and more tightly, and his words becoming more and more deliberate.

Could it be that the condition of the legs is not good?

When she asked Xu Jian just now, he said "it's not a big deal", why...

Oh.

This person always reports good news but not bad news.

This can be...

Lin Yunyan was hesitating, but she didn't expect that Doctor Yue was even more entangled than her. He even almost leaned on Xu Jian's lap, and waited for a while before looking up.

"This..." Doctor Yue looked at Wan Yue.

Now, Lin Yunyan came to understand and nodded slightly to Wanyue.

Wan Yue pushed away the others and stayed inside, while Nanny Wu guarded the outside.

Doctor Yue then asked with a sullen face: "To tell you the truth, what kind of medicated oil was applied to Mr. Guo's legs? Although it was wiped off, I could smell it."

Xu Jian laughed and said to Lin Yunyan, "You can't hide it from him, right?"

Lin Yunyan also smiled helplessly.

Before leaving for the paddock, Lin Yunyan applied a layer of medicated oil on Xu Jian's legs, which was useful for bruises and bruises in the house.

It didn't show anything when I first put it on, but it turned a little bruised after covering it under my trouser legs for a whole day.

When I checked the injury in the paddock, under the light of the lampstand, it looked really miserable, and it was frighteningly white and green.

Without this level of preparation, how could we frighten Eunuch Cao?
  The doctor who treated Xu Jian didn't know much about what medicine Xu Jian used on daily basis. He had already bandaged several injured imperial guards, so he wouldn't take it seriously if he smelled some medicine.

Unlike Dr. Yue, he knew very well about daily medication and was proficient in it. Even if he had just wiped it, he had discovered the clues.

"Medicated oil for bruises," Xu Jian said, "apply a little bit in the paddock."

Doctor Yue didn't believe what he said.

If it was really the medicinal oil given by the imperial doctor in the paddock, as for him looking at Wan Yue, would the princess really have withdrawn all the people?

Obviously something else is going on!
  However, one thing that Dr. Yue still understands now is that some curiosity must be put away. Knowing more is not necessarily a good thing.

Without needing to be reminded by the Duke and the Princess, he made a gesture himself and said that he would never mention "unknown medicinal oil" and just pretended that it did not exist at all.

Lin Yunyan smiled.

Smart people are just convenient and don't need to pay much attention to them.

Xu Jian would definitely not go to court when he got up in the morning. In addition to the Holy Shang, there might be people from other places to visit his patients. However, if he could not turn around, he would open his mouth and say "What kind of medicinal oil was used for the Duke of Guo in the paddock last night"? In the ears of some people, it is “one more thing”.

After confirming that the medicinal oil had no effect on Xu Jian, Doctor Yue made a detailed diagnosis again, and then started to relieve Xu Jian's pain.

A warm handkerchief was applied to the legs, and then acupuncture was applied, and the silver needles were inserted into the skin one by one.

After taking care of Xu Jian, Doctor Yue took Lin Yunyan's pulse again to make sure that she was not cold, tired or even sick.

When the business in this compartment was finished, he said: "It will take three-quarters of an hour. I will go see Shenchen first and come back later."

Lin Yunyan thanked him, sent him off, and sat down by the couch.

Xu Jian raised his eyes and said softly: "Go to the bedroom to sleep first."

Lin Yunyan shook her head. She was sleepy, but if she were to take a nap, she would probably not be able to sleep well.

"Close your eyes and collect yourself for a while," she said. "I'll go when I want to sleep."

Xu Jian didn't force her, closed her eyes again, and fell asleep soon after.

Lin Yunyan took the handkerchief and gently wiped away the thin sweat on Xu Jian's forehead.

She knew that Xu Jian was really tired, and they were deliberately plotting against Li Shao, but Xu Jian really had the energy to fight to the end. If he hadn't been so tired, how could he be sweating coldly in pain and still be able to do it? How about sleeping on it?
  It was just a very restless sleep.

Lin Yunyan was afraid that he would kick his legs in his dream, so she moved her seat and put a hand on Xu Jian's knee to ensure that she could hold him down immediately if he moved.

The other hand fell on Xu Jian's hand and gently interlocked with his fingers.

While in the enclosure, she actually went to see the black bear.

The black bear was already dead and motionless, but just looking at its size, you knew it would definitely be difficult to deal with.

In fact, it seemed to be bigger and bigger than the one Xu Jian showed her yesterday, which was frightening.

Such a beast had one of its arms chopped off by Xu Jiansheng. Even though it was exhausted by that time, it was just as exhausted as the Xu Jian it consumed.

In such a difficult situation, Xu Jian still took advantage of the opportunity.

What did Shenchen say?

"It's accurate."

How difficult it is. To make accurate calculations in that situation, strength and luck are both indispensable.

Yes, Xu Jian said that the bear was "smaller now." In the four years he had experienced, how much effort had he spent facing the bigger blind bear?

Just imagining it made Lin Yunyan's breathing become congested.

It was difficult and hard, she knew it before, and she was experiencing it all the time now, but she understood even better that it was "hard-earned."

The achievements over the past year have been hard-won, and today’s results are also hard-won.

What she has to do and can do is to expand this victory to be worthy of the hard work in the paddock.

Suddenly, Xu Jian's right leg twitched, and Lin Yunyan quickly held down his knee.

Xu Jian seemed to have noticed it in her sleep, and vaguely comforted her: "It's okay, it's really okay..."

Lin Yunyan lowered her eyes and whispered to him softly: "Okay, it's okay."

It was almost time before Doctor Yue came back.

"Shen Chen is suffering from flesh injuries, and the imperial doctor had no problem with them before. He just needs to be nursed back to health," he said, "Xuan Su is not injured, he is just tired. I think he slept well."

Lin Yunyan was relieved.

When Dr. Yue took up the needle, Xu Jian woke up. She was still tired, but her eyes were much clearer.

"Except for this leg, the Duke of Guo is in good health and will not suffer from cold or fever. A good night's sleep is better than any panacea," Doctor Yue said. "You can't see anything on the leg now. It will become bruised in an hour. It will take a few days to go away.”

Lin Yunyan was quite satisfied with this.

The bruises that appear naturally are stronger than those faked with medicated oil. Besides, in broad daylight, they are not as easy to fool as under dim lights.

Waiting for the lights to turn on in the main room, Ma Ma estimated the time.

After a while, it will almost be time for the Duke to get up and go to court.

This worrying and tense night was finally over.

Mother Ma went back to her room, took a nap, and then got up.

Mrs. Xu sent someone to ask about the situation early. She heard that the young couple had not gotten up yet, so she did not bother them. After that, she only invited Dr. Yue to go to the backyard and inquire about the injury in detail.

Dr. Yue told the truth that a day of tossing like this would definitely have an impact, so he could only try his best to treat it.

He also said that thanks to the previous treatment for a period of time, the injury has been alleviated a lot. Otherwise, even if he gritted his teeth and persevered in the snow forest, his right leg would probably be completely disabled, let alone hoping to get better and be able to use crutches. Walking on your own is like Amitabha.

These words, not to mention Xu Miao, made Liu Ping and Aunt Xia chant "Amitabha" together.

On the other side, in the facing room, the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

Uncle An Yi's arms and legs ached everywhere. Sitting on the chair, his already frighteningly serious facial features looked more and more like he was holding fire.

In fact, he wasn't really angry.

I was so tired that I still had the energy to be angry with Nao Shizi.

Lin Yue solemnly thanked him for rushing to the paddock and helping Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan.

"They are blessed with good fortune, and I don't have much credit," An Yibo said. "When I found them, the black bear was already lying on the ground."

"You are the Dinghai Shenzhen." Lin Yu said.

An Yibo actually accepted this compliment with a smile.

It's not that he is thick-skinned. In a situation like yesterday, what was lacking was not manpower, but someone who could stabilize the situation, and he was one of them.

An official came over to inquire about the situation with An Yibo.

"Your Highness is not injured? That's great."

"I heard that my uncle carried His Highness back. I thought His Highness was injured and was shocked."

"The Duke of Fu protected the prince until the reinforcements found them. This is a great achievement for the Duke of Fu."

"So, his leg injury should be almost healed, right? Where are the others? Didn't they come to court?"

Hearing the sound, An Yibo raised his eyelids and said, "Can he still go to court? If he wants to climb up to the Golden Palace today, I have to carry him on his back, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

It was the prince who was carried back by his uncle yesterday. What Uncle An Yi said seemed to mean to mock the prince...

Ordinarily, it wouldn't be the case. They all knew that the uncle had a bad temper and was not particular about what he said. He probably just said it casually without any extra thoughts.

An Yibo didn't notice it himself. He moved his sore shoulders and continued: "His legs, I think it's difficult. It will take some time to recuperate..."

"After all, the prince is in danger, and Duke Fu will definitely try his best to rescue him. His legs were originally..."

Tell half of it and hide the other half, which is very meaningful.

Lin Yu turned around and saw that the person speaking was Gu Heng, the young minister of Taichang Temple.

I'm so anxious.

Lin Yu thought.

Before the Fourth Highness was weaned, his grandfather Gu Heng had already "said" a few words whenever he had the chance. Before the Crown Prince was banned, those who were most actively seeking trouble were those of the Fourth Highness's lineage.

Gu Heng only said one sentence and stopped, but it was enough to make people think.

Beijing has never concluded how the Duke of Fu was injured in the first place, but Gu Shaoqing's words make people think that there seems to be a theory that the Duke of Fu was injured because of the prince.

Saving the driver should have been a credit, so why was this credit concealed?
  In fact, Gu Heng didn't know it completely. He only relied on some rumors to say such a specious statement, but at this moment, he could sense some meaning.

It seems like, is that something worth digging into?
  I’m particularly confused when it’s doubled at the end of the month.

Just shout, it’s a bit of a loss if it doesn’t double. Don’t shout, because you’re afraid you won’t have any votes at the end of the month.

I hope the number of monthly tickets at the end of this month will be better.
