217 Adoptive mother

The clinic business was only deserted for one day, and the next day there were more people. Fortunately, the injured who had been treated here were discharged from the hospital one after another.

Jiang Shi is still in treatment.

He was the worst patient in the accident. He successfully passed through the dangerous period just a few days ago. He is in good condition and can see new improvements every day.

His voice is gradually recovering, and he can occasionally say a few words hoarsely.

Gu Jiao has learned that his name is Jiang Shi, a native of Yu County. He is 21 years old this year and his sister Jiang Li is 8 years old this year.

Their village was filled with famine, and their parents and family were starved to death, leaving only him and his sister.

The two of them were bought by someone and resold them many times. In fact, it is easy to sell if they are separated, but Jiang Shi is unwilling to separate from his sister.

By chance, they were sold to the capital and he worked as an illegal worker for the Ministry of Works.

The salary is not much, but it is enough to give my sister a bite of food to save money.

From Jiang Shi's mouth, Gu Jiao also learned that there are many black workers like him, and it is a blessing to be able to do black workers for the court. Some people were not bought by corrupt officials in the court, but were sold to some black-hearted small workshops. That was really miserable.

Such black workers have no household registration or road guide in the capital. Although the court has borne their treatment expenses and paid for them a little wage, they all have to leave the capital after they recover.

Gu Jiao hangs today's needle drip for Jiang Shi.

Jiang Li was not in the ward, so she went to the lobby to help.

The little girl has become familiar with the people in the clinic and understands that the people here will not hurt her. She gradually let go of her guard and will help when there are too many people.

She was helping pack medicine bags today, but her hands and feet were not too quick, but she did it very carefully.

When Gu Jiao observed Xiao Jiangli, Dr. Song suddenly came over, smiled and said, "The little girl works hard, and she can recognize a lot of medicinal herbs, which is much better than mine."

As he was talking, a carriage came outside the door.

The four accompanying guards all rode high-headed horses, and at a glance they could tell that the people in the carriage were of extraordinary identities.

Sure enough, the curtain of the car was lifted and a noble and beautiful young lady walked down.

Who is it if it’s not Princess Rui?

Princess Rui has met Gu Jiao on the stone arch bridge on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and has never appeared again.

She walked out of the carriage with the help of two female officials, and she waved her hand impatiently: "Okay, don't help me, I'm not helpless!"

"But you have to be careful," said Ms. Xu.

Princess Rui ignored her and stepped into the lobby. When she saw Gu Jiao at first sight, she smiled happily: "Miss Gu!"

Gu Jiao nodded slightly.

Princess Rui looked around, walked up to take Gu Jiao's hand, "Is it convenient to go to your yard to sit?"

"Okay." Gu Jiao said to Dr. Song, "I'll leave it to you here."

"Hey." Doctor Song responded and bowed to Princess Rui.

The patient here does not know the other party's identity, but he knows it.

Princess Rui didn't notice him much and went to the yard with Gu Jiao.

The two sat down.

Gu Jiao poured her a cup of tea.

Princess Rui did not drink, but said, "Sorry, I haven't come to see you for so long. It was also when I came back from the palace that day that day when I realized that I was pregnant. The nannies didn't let me go out and had to close me for two months!"

The nannies also followed Concubine Yu's meaning. The fetus had to wait three months before it could be declared to the public before it could go out.

"Congratulations." Gu Jiao said.

A shyness flashed across Princess Rui's face: "I have been married to Your Highness for a few years. This is my first child. Please help me see how my pulse is."

Gu Jiao took her pulse: "The pulse is very stable."

Princess Rui rarely showed an innocent smile: "The imperial doctor said the same thing, but I was worried about what the imperial doctor said, but I was relieved only if you said it!"

Thinking of something, she said again, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. If you hadn't asked me to prepare in advance, I wouldn't have saved those who fell into the lake."

Gu Jiao said, "I just told you that they will be saved only if you believe it. The credit is yours, so you don't have to thank me."

Princess Rui opened her mouth: "Ah..."

How could she answer this?

Gu Jiao asked calmly: "You are here today to take the pulse and thank me?"

Princess Rui smiled embarrassedly: "Actually there is something else. I want to invite you to the hospital. I know I am too abrupt and should have told you earlier. However, I was also the news I received by accident when I entered the palace today to pay my respects to His Majesty and the Queen. I was worried that others would go to see it..."

This is what Gu Jiao is like, not hard.

If Princess Rui uses power to suppress her, she will refuse her early in the morning. Princess Rui looks at her with a pair of deer-like eyes. She sighed and agreed.

"You are the best!" Princess Rui took Gu Jiao to her carriage.

Gu Jiao's treatment target was an imperial concubine from the dynasty. The concubine did not live in the palace, but in a cemetery near Puji Temple.

Cross that river, too.

The cable bridge has been rebuilt, and the only one who may be carrying a carriage is the stone arch bridge.

The carriage stopped outside the temple.

The two got off the carriage.

Princess Rui asked the female official to wait outside, and took Gu Jiao into the temple.

This treasury is not big, and there are not many masters, so they saw two of them in total.

"Are the concubine here?" asked Princess Rui.

"Here, please come here for the princess." A little master took Princess Rui and Gu Jiao to a Zen room in the backyard.

A depressed cough came from the Zen room.

Princess Rui's heart tightened and walked over with her skirt: "Empress Dowager! Are you okay?"

In front of the bed, an old nanny saluted Princess Rui: "Princess."

Princess Rui sat down beside the bed and held the thin hand of the cougher: "Why are you so sick?"

"Cough cough...what are you here to do? I'm not in the way...I'm an old problem...cough cough..." She coughed violently.

Gu Jiao walked in with a small basket on her back.

Her eyes fell on the other person. This was an old lady with hair and practiced, about the same age as her aunt. Her elegant face could vaguely show her beauty when she was young.

"This is..." the other party looked at Gu Jiao.

"The Concubine, this is my friend. Her surname is Gu. Her medical skills are very good! She is here to treat you!" Princess Rui said, looking at Gu Jiao, "Miss Gu, this is Concubine Jing."

Gu Jiao nodded.

She has no habit of bent down and kneeling.

Concubine Jing is a monk, so she doesn't care about this. She covered her face and coughed twice, and said to Gu Jiao: "Since she is Qianqian's friend, don't be restrained. I am not a concubine. Just call me Master Jing'an."

Gu Jiao took the pulse for Concubine Jing and checked her body: "Did the Master also have asthma in the past?"

Such a young girl was diagnosed with asthma all of a sudden. Concubine Jing was quite surprised, but she was a person of this age and would not be surprised.

She said: "I have had old problems before, and spring is the most serious."

"Can it be cured?" Princess Rui looked at Gu Jiao.

"It's difficult to cure it, but it can be controlled." Gu Jiao opened the small medicine box, took asthma medicine and asthma spray to Concubine Jing, and explained how to use it and some life taboos.

Concubine Jing thanked Gu Jiao.

Princess Rui talked to Concubine Jing for a while, and did not leave reluctantly until Concubine Jing was sleepy.

After getting on the carriage back, Princess Rui sighed: "The Concubine is so pitiful, what's more?"

Concubine Jing is admired by the emperor. The emperor's biological mother was born in a small palace maid and was not qualified to raise the prince. The emperor was adopted by Concubine Jing as soon as he was born.

At that time, Concubine Jing was just Concubine Jing. A few years later, she gave birth to a little princess and became Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing is a gentle and generous woman. She never jealous in the harem and never sees her stirring up trouble.

It was her uncompetitive and scrambled nature that she was attracted by Empress Dowager Zhuang, who gave up so many princes and made her adopted son the emperor.

However, she also made sacrifices.

Since the emperor has adopted her name, it is her son. If the emperor ascended the throne and she should be named the queen mother.

But how could Empress Dowager Zhuang allow a second Empress Dowager to appear in the palace?

So, Concubine Jing missed the late emperor and wanted to practice and recite scriptures for the late emperor every day.

"However, there is another saying among the people." Princess Rui did not treat Gu Jiao as an outsider. She did not have her own little sister. Gu Jiao was the first, and she unilaterally recognized it.

She said: "Concubine Jing has a sweetheart. She doesn't want to be the queen mother, so she asked to become a monk by herself."

She didn't even say this before even her sister Du Xiaoyun.

Of course, it is mainly because Du Xiaoyun has a big mouth, and a big mouth that is brainless and biased towards the Crown Princess.
