The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

But it was said that Gu Changqing took Gu Yan out of the mansion and sent Gu Yan back to Bishui Hutong on horseback.

The two rode together, and Gu Yan sat in front.

The body of the sixteen-year-old boy couldn't block Gu Changqing's sight, so Gu Changqing held the rein tightly with both hands and wrapped him in his arms.

Gu Yan's excitement had passed, but now he was really sleepy, his thin body was leaning against Gu Changqing's strong chest, and his little head began to peck at the rice.

Gu Changqing was angry and funny, and put one hand around his thin waist: "Now you know you're sleepy?"

"Huh?" Gu Yan sat in a daze and hummed, then immediately sat up straight, widened his eyes, and said very clearly, "I'm not sleepy!"

Gu Changqing saw through but didn't tell the truth, smiled, and asked again: "How do you know those things?"

Gu Yan said triumphantly: "Check it out, I'm so smart!"

Gu Changqing laughed angrily, and muttered, "You really are not humble at all."

He didn't ask Gu Yan how he checked it, because Gu Yan started pecking at the rice again, but even if he didn't ask, he could guess a thing or two.

Zhuang Yuheng lived in Bishui Hutong, and Gu Yan must have accidentally learned from him how Zhuang Yuheng was drugged by Zhuang Yuexi that day.

Zhuang Yuheng didn't suspect that Gu Jinyu's appearance was not a coincidence, but only thought that she was really passing by, didn't understand, and really cared about herself.

Gu Yan, a villain, is not so easy to fool.

He may not have found conclusive evidence, but he put together all the fragments of the incident, combined with his understanding of Gu Jinyu, and basically restored the truth of that day.

To put it bluntly, it's still guesswork.

But judging from Gu Jinyu's reaction, he guessed right.

Gu Changqing looked down at Gu Yan who had fallen asleep in his arms, and said dumbfoundedly: "Why can't such a brilliant mind be used for studying?"

...

The next day, Zhuang Yuheng packed his luggage and boarded the carriage to the frontier.

Empress Dowager Zhuang also came to Bishui Hutong to practice for him. He was not in exile, but the frontier fortress was already suffering.

If he wanted to protect a few younger sisters, he would have to suffer a little bit.

"Come back if you can't bear it anymore, the capital is your home."

Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't say this.

Zhuang Yuheng's trip seems to be more arduous and long-distance than going to the country of Chen as a hostage. He is not for his home country, nor for anyone's ambition. He is starting a journey that is completely his own with a brand new identity.

He no longer relies on any influence, nor does he receive any help. Every step he takes must start from scratch.

"Here, here you are." Xiao Heng took a booklet from the study and handed it to him, "Don't you want to learn from that Yan Guo book? I sorted it out and made some notes."

It was a book about the arithmetic of Yan State, and there were annotations originally, but Zhuang Yuheng's language of Yan State was not very good, so Xiao Heng translated it into Zhao State language.

Xiao Heng's hands and feet have been inconvenient for the past few days, so it can be seen that this book has been prepared long ago.

Zhuang Yuheng took the books and said to Xiao Heng who was in the wheelchair: "You can start from scratch, so can I."

He knew Xiao Heng's identity.

Strictly speaking, it was actually Xiao Heng's incident that inspired him. Since someone has accomplished this, it means that this path is feasible. Xiao Heng was only fourteen years old when the accident happened.

Fourteen-year-old Xiao Heng can do it, why can't he!

Zhuang Yuheng said solemnly: "You wait for the day when I return to the capital!"

Xiao Heng said: "Wait and see."

Empress Dowager Zhuang gave Zhuang Yuheng a brocade box.

Zhuang Yuheng opened it after he got into the carriage.

That's a hair crown.

His twentieth birthday is probably going to be on the road. This is a coronation ceremony prepared for him by his aunt.

He wiped his red eyes, smiled through his tears: "Thank you, aunt."

...

In the next few days, Master Gu rushed into the Ministry of Industry. Gu Jinyu tried to find him several times, but he couldn't even see him.

Xiao Heng suffered a skin trauma, and after a few days of recuperation, the gauze was finally removed. Xuan Pinghou was not so lucky, his wound was so severe that he was disobedient and rode a horse overnight, was hit by a big tree, and his back injury recurred.

In short, after Xiao Heng regained his freedom and returned to the officialdom, he was still a hard-working Dabai who could only sit in a wheelchair.

Can't even play a card.

"Qin Fengwan."

He sat in the yard basking in the sun, and called Princess Xinyang who was helping Xiao Jingkong tie her hair.

The small mushroom head with small headroom can be tied a little.

Princess Xinyang pierced him patiently, and he was happy to let Princess Xinyang do it.

Princess Xinyang didn't want to talk to Xuanpinghou.

Xuan Pinghou raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't always show that you are very close to the child in front of Benhou. It is useless for you to hint. Benhou will not have children with you."

Princess Xinyang was so angry that she picked up the basket on the ground and threw it over his head!

Xuan Pinghou, who was covered in a basket: "..."

"Qin Fengwan."

"Take the basket away."

"Qin Fengwan."

"You are presumptuous."

"Qin Fengwan, Qin Fengwan?"

Gu Jiao didn't know what to do at home recently, so she requisitioned the front and back yards of the old Jijiu, and she always ran to the iron shop, making her face disheveled every day.

Today she came back from the iron shop again, washed up and changed into dry clothes and went to the next door.

It's time to rehabilitate Huangfu Xian.

Today Huangfuxian will officially throw away his crutches and stand up with his hands on the railings on both sides.

Huangfuxian sat in the wheelchair and dared not move.

Gu Jiao came in front of him, kept a distance from him where he could hug him, and said, "Don't be afraid, stand up and try."

Huangfuxian hesitated.

Huangfuxian is thin-skinned, he usually doesn't have too many people present when he trains, Yu Ya'er and Liu Quan deliberately didn't gather in the backyard.

Gu Jiao said: "If you hesitate any longer, it's time for Xiao Qing Kong to come over."

Thinking of the little mushroom, Huangfu Xian gritted his teeth.

He didn't want the little mushroom to be underestimated, and he didn't want the little mushroom to be disappointed.

He took a deep breath and grabbed the two rows of railings in front of him with both hands.

Gu Jiao looked at him: "Stand up, Huangfuxian."

Huangfuxian's arms were exerting force, but his legs didn't listen.

"I... I can't stand up."

You can walk several steps on the ground with crutches, why can't you even stand up without the crutches?

This is a kind of psychological dependence, and Gu Jiao has to help Huangfuxian get rid of it.

Gu Jiao said again: "Huangfuxian, stand up."

Huangfuxian exerted all his energy, and the veins on the back of his hands jumped violently, but just as he got up a little, his stump felt a sharp pain like a needle prick.

He fell back into the wheelchair, sweating profusely: "No! I...I can't stand up!"

Gu Jiao looked at him without blinking, didn't say anything unnecessary, just repeated over and over again: "Huangfuxian, stand up."

"Huangfuxian, stand up."

"stand up."

Huangfuxian's thoughts drifted back to that icy and snowy night, when his mother put him into the snow pit dug out, and used his thin body to block the wind and snow that filled the sky.

"Xian'er, live well..."

Huangfuxian's eyes turned red in an instant. He firmly grasped the armrest of the wheelchair, clenched his teeth, and supported his body with the strength of his arms to stand up slowly.

Slap, he put one hand on the railing on the right, and then he put the other on the railing on the left.

His arms began to tremble faintly due to the excessive force, and he put his strength on his legs little by little.

One inch, two inches, three inches...

He gradually got out of the wheelchair.

The pain from the stump twisted his features together.

He almost fell back down again.

"You've already stood halfway!" Gu Jiao said.

Huangfuxian gritted his teeth again and stood up vigorously!

The severe pain in the receiving cavity almost killed Huangfu Xian once, his back was drenched in cold sweat, but he did stand up.

"Very good." Gu Jiao said calmly, "Now, let go of your left hand first."

Letting go is not the goal, the main thing is to prevent him from using his arms again.

Huangfuxian's throat slipped, and he slowly picked up his left hand.

Gu Jiao put her hand under his palm in time, but did not touch him: "Now, try to let go of your right hand."

"I..." Huangfuxian was extremely nervous. After his left arm couldn't use his strength, he used his right arm to support him. He felt that his stump was very painful.

But he still forced himself to let go after hesitating for a moment.

Gu Jiao held his hand modestly.

He stood up completely on his own.

He looked at his legs in disbelief, and then looked at Gu Jiao in front of him: "I...I stand...ah——"

He lost his balance and fell forward!

Gu Jiao supported him in time.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you I won't let you fall." Gu Jiao asked him to stand back and put his hands on the railing, "But in the future, you will inevitably fall."

Now it's just about building your confidence to stand up.

"En!" Huangfu Xian nodded.

After really crossing that hurdle, he didn't feel so scared. The pain was painful, but he already knew how painful it was, and he had a bottom line in his heart.

"No bone grinding pain," he said.

Gu Jiao said: "I'll talk about this after you walk a few steps."

Sure enough, Huangfuxian was slapped in the face.

This is too painful, every step is like walking on the tip of a knife, at least the bone grinding is anesthetized.

Gu Jiao thought half of his pain was psychological, so it was considered normal.

On the first day, he was formally rehabilitated, mainly focusing on adaptation. Gu Jiao didn't let him practice for too long, and he sat back in the wheelchair in less than half an hour.

At this time, there was no dry place on Huangfuxian's body.

"My lord, I've prepared the hot water." Seeing that they were done practicing, Lian Er walked out of the room with a smile.

Huangfuxian looked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said: "Go take a bath, don't catch a cold."

"En." Huangfu Xian nodded.

Gu Jiao turned back to her side, Huangfuxian suddenly called her: "Thank you, Doctor Gu."

Gu Jiao nodded.

Gu Jiao left the backyard of her aunt's house, and as soon as she entered her own backyard, she saw her aunt sitting in the aisle.

She looked in the direction of the rehabilitation field from the perspective of her aunt, and immediately understood what her aunt was looking at just now.

"Stop playing cards?" Gu Jiao asked, bending her lips.

"Hmph, let's fight now." The Empress Dowager Zhuang raised her chin and walked out, "Liu Cuihua! Three missing one!"

Empress Dowager Zhuang was in a good mood today, and she put some water in the game, which saved the neighbors from losing a few pennies.

Gu Jiao went back to the east room.

Xiao Jingkong didn't go to class today, he just went to play with Princess Xinyang, and now he ran in with a few small bumps on his head: "Jiaojiao Jiaojiao!"

Gu Jiao looked back at him.

He handed his little head in front of Gu Jiao: "Look, Jiao Jiao!"

Gu Jiao scratched his crotch: "It looks good."

In a few months, I will be able to tie a small ball head.

Xiao Jingkong was happy and shy: "The princess pierced it for me!"

Gu Jiao praised: "It's really well done."

Xiao Jingkong said: "Jiaojiao."

Gu Jiao said: "Huh?"

"That...that..." Xiao Jingkong lowered his head and pointed his fingers, "Is there any more delicious food?"

After he gave all the two bottles he picked up to Princess Xinyang, he regretted it. He knew that he should keep one bottle.

Gu Jiao tidied up the small medicine box: "What's good to drink?"

Xiao Jingkong began to look into the small medicine box: "Blue, sweet and sour."

Gu Jiao understood: "Calcium Supplement Oral Solution, it's gone."

That one only appeared twice and never again.

Xiao Jingkong was disappointed. He looked at the small medicine box that did not have any blue vials, and asked in puzzlement, "Why are there only two bottles this time? Didn't there be many, many before?"

Now Gu Jiao is puzzled, the oral liquid is calculated by the box, a box of ten bottles, where do you start with two bottles?

"That's... that's..." Xiao Qingkong scratched his own little cock, and told Gu Jiao about finding the blue vial under the bed.

Gu Jiao was extremely sure that there hadn't been any oral liquid for calcium supplements in the small medicine box these days, but she must be talking about blue potions...then only Psychedelic No. 1!

Gu Jiao asked Xiao Qingkong exactly when he picked it up, and Xiao Qingkong said it was the day he sent the baby away.

Gu Jiao paused for a moment: "Should I send it away to Princess Xinyang, or send it back to his parents?"

Xiao Jingkong said: "His parents, his parents have come to look for the child!"

That was the day when Psychedelic One appeared!

Did she accidentally drop two bottles on the ground when she put the potion back?

Gu Jiao closed the small medicine box: "Where did you put the medicine?"

It must have been drunk, otherwise Xiao Qingkong wouldn't be standing here well.

Xiao Jingkong said: "The princess was so sad that day, I wanted to comfort her, so I gave it to her."

Gu Jiao felt that she had been shot in the heart by an arrow!

Wait, Princess Xinyang probably hasn't had a drink yet, otherwise something will happen early.

Xiao Jingkong took a sip of his saliva: "Jiaojiao, is there any more? I really want to drink."

Gu Jiao rubbed his little head: "No more, if I have one in the future, I will keep it for you."

"Well, okay!" Xiao Jingkong is an obedient child, and Gu Jiao said that he doesn't have it for now, so he can wait until later.

"By the way, where's the princess?"

"she left."

"Let's go..." Gu Jiao looked at the increasingly dishonest little medicine box on the table, resisted the urge to smash it flat with her fist, and said to Xiao Jingkong, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."

Xiao Qingkong responded cutely: "Okay, Jiaojiao!"

Although it has been safe and sound for several days, that kind of potion is a time bomb after all, if you don't know it, you can just return it, if you know it, why don't you get it back immediately?

Gu Jiao didn't take the carriage anymore, and rode directly to Zhuque Street.

Yujin was watering the flowers in the front yard, and seeing Gu Jiao get off her horse at the door, her eyes lit up and said, "Jiaojiao is here?"

"Aunt Yujin." Gu Jiao handed the reins to the maid at the door, walked into the courtyard and asked, "Is the princess there?"

"Princess has gone to Buzhuang." Yujin was going to follow, but she fell down when she entered, so Princess Xinyang told her to rest at home.

Gu Jiao asked: "Aunt Yujin, do you know that the princess brought back two bottles of blue medicine?"

Yujin looked at Gu Jiao strangely: "I know, what's wrong?"

Gu Jiao paused, did not say that it was a love potion, but said: "There is something wrong with those potions, can you bring them to me first?"

"The princess gave me the potion..." Yujin said with a complicated expression, "but I gave it to Master Hou again."

Gu Jiao opened her mouth: "Xuan Pinghou?"

Yujin said worriedly: "Well, the princess said that the two bottles of medicine are for leg cramps. I was reluctant to drink them and kept them all the time. Last time I went to Bishui Hutong and heard Lord Hou yelling that my legs hurt, so I took them for him today. It's... did I get into trouble?"

Gu Jiao gathered herself together: "It's okay, it's okay."

It is better to be drunk by Xuan Pinghou than to be drunk by the princess.

Although the medicine is powerful, Xuan Pinghou's concentration is also very strong.

What's more, he had plaster cast all over his body, so he couldn't do anything he wanted.

——I can't let someone carry him to the brothel to find a girl.

Gu Jiao smiled awkwardly: "I'll go back and have a look first."

Yujin froze for a moment: "Ah, good."

The matter was urgent, and Yujin didn't have time to ask Gu Jiao what's wrong with those medicines.

Gu Jiao rushed back to Bishui Hutong non-stop, the first thing she did was to find Xuan Pinghou who was basking in the sun in the backyard.

Gu Jiao walked over and asked out of breath, "Master Hou, have you taken the medicine Yujin gave you?"

Xuan Pinghou glanced at her and said, "I didn't drink."

Gu Jiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out her hand: "Then give it to me quickly."

Xuan Ping Hou Dan said: "Not anymore."

Gu Jiao was slightly taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Xuan Pinghou looked down the corridor with his eyeballs: "Nuo, she drank it."

Gu Jiao turned around and saw Princess Xinyang coming out of the room.
