Back to the marriage proposal, helping the incompetent husband to rise to the top

Chapter 217 Rouge Flower

Aunt Hua glanced towards the house and said, "Xiao Ke can't move, so she usually eats in her house. When the weather is good, I carry her to the yard to bask in the sun.

We have lived alone for so many years, and she is not used to meeting so many guests. "

"In that case, I won't force it." Ye Wanqing said gently, "It's just that I brought a doctor with me, who was once a student of the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital in the palace.

If it's convenient, could you let me take him to see Sister Xiao Ke?"

"Doctor?" Aunt Hua sighed, "I have looked for doctors in Lin'an City, but they are all helpless.

It’s better not to watch it, because watching it will only make you sadder.”

"Let's try." Ye Wanqing said, "This is my doctor. There is no consultation fee. I can also check your pulse in the evening."

"That's right!" Chu Anlan echoed, "Just give it a try. It's free anyway. You don't want to take advantage of a bargain that's delivered to your doorstep? If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

Aunt Hua's eyes moved slightly: "Okay..."

Ye Wanqing called the palace doctor.

Aunt Hua took her and the court doctor to the room with the closed wooden door and pushed it open.

This is a small room with only a table, chairs, a bed, a wooden shelf and a wooden cabinet.

On the bed, there was a skinny figure lying.

The house was clean and tidy, with no peculiar smell.

There was even a palm-sized wine jar on the small wooden cabinet beside the bed, with a bunch of bright purple rouge flowers in the jar.

In the dim room, the rouge flowers are the only bright spot.

Seeing someone coming in, Xiao Ke on the bed opened her mouth and said uncomfortably: "Mom, I don't want to see a doctor..."

Aunt Hua felt distressed and walked over quickly: "This is the princess from the capital. The princess's mother is the elder sister of the current emperor. The doctor in her family is very good. Can you let the doctor take a look?"

Ye Wanqing walked to three steps away from the bed and said, "Sister Xiaoke, I'm sorry to bother you."

Xiao Ke didn't move, crying softly, "It can't be cured anyway, so why bother with me?"

Aunt Hua was so angry that she slapped the bed board and said, "Silly child, what are you talking about? You are my only child, who else can I take care of?"

Xiao Ke cried softly: "Without me... Mom's life would be much better... I am a burden to Mom..."

Aunt Hua's eyes were red. "What are you talking about? It's obviously your mother who is holding you back.

If your mother had rushed back to Lin'an earlier and found a good doctor to treat you, why would you have had to lie in bed for so many years?
I know you are uncomfortable lying down, but there is nothing I can do. I only have you. You have to live well and stay with me for a few more years."

Xiao Ke cried much louder.

The court doctor looked at Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing nodded.

The court doctor took out the silk handkerchief he carried with him and walked to the bedside: "Don't be afraid, please let me take your pulse first."

Aunt Hua wiped her eyes and quickly moved a stool: "Please sit down."

As he spoke, he wiped Xiao Ke's face with a handkerchief, then lifted Xiao Ke's hand and placed it on the pulse pillow placed by the court physician.

After the court doctor covered Xiao Ke's wrist with a silk handkerchief, he placed his fingers on it.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

The palace doctor's surname was Lu, and his name was Gu Chen. Although he was still young, he had superb medical skills and liked to study medicine. He dug herbs along the way and disappeared when he arrived in Lin'an.

This evening, it appeared out of nowhere.

Coincidentally, Ye Wanqing brought him here.

……

Doctor Gu has a calm temperament and never shows any emotion.

After taking Xiao Ke's pulse, he took her hand through the silk handkerchief and examined it carefully. He pinched Xiao Ke's fingers with his slender fingers and asked, "Can you feel anything here?"

Xiao Ke replied: "Yes."

Doctor Gu glanced at her and pinched her joints again: "Here?"

Xiao Ke pursed her lips: "Yes."

Doctor Gu showed no expression: "You were obviously unconscious, why did you lie to me?" Xiao Ke was stunned: "I didn't lie..."

Aunt Hua also spoke up: "Her fingers are conscious. A few days ago, she was able to hold the bowl by herself."

Doctor Gu asked, "What about these two days?"

These two days...

Aunt Hua was stumped by the question: "These past two days, the vegetables in the garden needed to be picked urgently. In order to save time, I was the one who carried the meal to feed them..."

As she spoke, she grabbed Xiao Ke's fingers and asked in a trembling voice, "Your hand... has lost all feeling?

You said that you eat slowly with chopsticks, which delayed me from washing the dishes and cleaning up, so you asked me to feed you in a few bites and then go about my business. So you were just trying to coax me?

You can't move, why didn't you tell me earlier? "

Xiao Ke whispered: "Mother has worked hard enough taking care of me, and I am tired of living by myself. Sooner or later I will have to meet my husband and father-in-law anyway.

Rather than dragging you down all the time, why not…”

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Aunt Hua was so angry that she slapped the back of Xiao Ke's hand: "You must cure me! I'm not dead yet, and you have to live well!"

Xiao Ke's tears flowed from her skinny eyes: "Mom, please let me go. What's the point of me living like this?"

Doctor Gu still had a calm expression: "If you are willing to tell the truth, I might be able to help you a little.

If you don't want to be cured, stop eating or drinking from today, and you will be free in three to five days."

"Gu Chen..." Ye Wanqing shook her head at him disapprovingly.

Gu Chen said: "I'm sorry, but as a doctor, I must tell the patient the truth about his condition."

Chu Anlan said: "Gu Chen, just tell me, can you cure it?"

"It's hard to say." Gu Chen replied.

"Stop being ambiguous." Chu Anlan kicked the leg of the stool lightly: "Take a closer look and give me a definite answer."

Gu Chen had no choice but to say, "Please forgive me for not being able to help below the waist, but above the waist, I can still try."

Chu Anlan looked at Aunt Hua: "Do you want to try?"

Aunt Hua's eyes were red, and she said excitedly: "Try!"

Gu Chen ate a bowl of noodles in a hurry.

After putting down his bowl and chopsticks, he went into the house accompanied by Aunt Hua and Yingxiang to give acupuncture to Xiao Ke.

It was dark and an oil lamp was lit in the mud house.

Aunt Hua was worried that it wasn't bright enough, so she lit two more candles.

Gu Chen opened the medicine box, took out the acupuncture kit, and began to give acupuncture.

Ye Wanqing and Chu Anlan did not go in to disturb them.

Aunt Hua is a great cook. Chu Anlan, who has always been picky about food, ate so much that he started to make a fuss and went to the yard to dig carmine flowers.

He leaned over the window and asked, "Aunt Hua, are there any other purple flowers in the corner?"

Aunt Hua replied, "There is a large patch of other flowers behind the house, and you can dig as many as you like."

"Then I won't be polite?" Chu Anlan raised his voice.

Aunt Hua didn't reply to him, and seemed to be talking to Gu Chen.

So, Chu Anlan took Ye Wanqing's hand, asked the servants to light torches and carry hoes, and three or four people went to the back of the house.

Sure enough, there was a large patch of rouge flowers behind the house.

In the light of the fire, the purple flowers were gorgeous and there were many black, uneven seeds between the petals and leaves.

Chu Anlan picked a few seeds and said, "Qing'er, this flower is so beautiful, the seeds won't be poisonous, right?"

Ye Wanqing walked over: "Non-toxic."

"Can I eat it?" Chu Anlan asked.

Ye Wanqing raised her eyes: "It shouldn't be possible."

“Pfft…” Qianxi couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Why does the prince want to taste everything he sees?
Fortunately, the Second Young Master is not here, otherwise, the two of them might have eaten something weird if they had discussed it together. "
