On the morning of the second day, Gu Liuyan was helping Xu Youguo open the clinic.
It was fortunate that the Hall of Relief was mostly about treating illnesses and saving people. Xu Youcai was not familiar with this place, so she could only ask Gu Daiyan to contact some medicine farmers to sell herbs. When the Hall of Relief was lacking in manpower, she would go and help.
It was at this moment that Zheng Qiankun pulled her out of the back door of the infirmary.
Gu Liuyan thought for a while, then handed a side to him and said in a low voice: "What does he want to say now?"
"He said that the Autumn Competition is about to begin. He told you to hand over your name list to her first." Zheng Qiong took the prescription and pretended to read it.
"Wait a moment." As Gu Liuyan spoke, she walked back to the infirmary and wrote down the names one by one. She handed the names of the herbs to Zheng Qiankun, "Let him take a look for himself. I can't give you the details for now."
Zheng Qiankun nodded and left with the name list.
Gu Danyan thought for a while, then subconsciously raised his head and saw that his head had shrunk back under the shade of the tree.
She didn't know why Gu Cheng had sent people to follow her, so she just walked leisurely back to the hospital. Thinking back, she had often personally written down formulas for many people, so even the people following her wouldn't be able to tell anything from it.
Noon, the sky was filled with drizzling rain.
Xu Youjiu sat on the side, half drenched. Mo was taken by the little girl to have a hot bath. Only Gu Shenwei didn't go out, he just sat on the chair with the medical books that Xu Youwei brought.
These few days were very peaceful, and she rarely had time to rest.
"Time to eat." Meng Xu put away his oil-paper umbrella and helped them bring delicious food.
The few of them sat together. Gu Daiyan ate the fastest, but she did not leave. As she fed Mo, she asked Meng Xu, "The Emperor has been uncertain about your position for a long time, yet he allowed you to follow your father to the entrance of the palace. Why?"
"The Sacred Heart is hard to predict." At this point, Meng Xu sighed softly. The people who had gone to high school with him had already arranged for official positions, but the top scorer had not been able to go to his proper place, "But today, the third prince has expressed that he can't just recruit Wu Chen. He has to change his position for the annual Spring and Autumn Trials."
"And the result?" Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"The Emperor was happy. After agreeing to this, he bestowed the Third Prince with great rewards. However, when the Prime Minister came out, he was depressed." Meng Xu said softly.
A'Mo looked as if she wanted to interrupt, but Gu Mingyan covered her mouth with a dish, and gently smiled at her before continuing, "Of course, father and prince both advocate for the superiority of the son of your father, saying that this Spring and Autumn Competition is all for the sake of the children of the Humble Class. They think that they can't control it."
Amos pursed his lips and turned away from her.
Seeing that Meng Xu did not reply, Gu Pingyan smiled as he took Mo into his arms. He waved his hands at the little girl, telling her to eat first. The little girl was grateful, so she quickly ate.
These days, not only did she not put on any airs as an imperial concubine, she was a kind-hearted person. However, previously, when she had met a few of the young ladies, Gu Liuyan had revealed a venomous side of her.
"Elder sister, the children here are all stupid. I don't like them." A'Mo's mood was a bit better, so he continued.
"How stupid?" Gu Daiyan wiped her mouth and placed her on a nearby stool.
Amo twitched his mouth. "All the kids here like to read books. If not, they like to talk about teachers at home. I hate it. I want to pinch people."
Xu Youwei looked at her rather helplessly. "Lady Ji, what are you pinching?"
With a snort, Amo rubbed Gu Mingyan's chest and asked her, "You want to pinch me?"
Xu Youdao had no other choice but to rub her head: "Then I won't play with them. Next time, I'll take you to the small street, where the kids are really thick-skinned, it's quite interesting."
Once Tian Yan's child heard about this, he kept his distance from the street, but ever since Zheng Qiankun had helped them, and since Gu Liuyan had often done good deeds, the people on the street had always respected her, and they also liked this An Mo who went with her from time to time.
"Don't give him any trouble." Xu Youwei warned her.
"No way!" Amo made a face and ran off. After finishing her meal, the little red girl quickly chased after him. Immediately, she started to laugh in the courtyard.
After the meal, a young master came to collect the herbs. Gu Daiyan helped to wrap the herbs and was about to sit down to read.
But as soon as she sat down, she saw Spirits, drenched from head to toe, kneel in front of her with a thump. She stood up in a fluster and pulled him up: "What happened?"
"I beg for Your Highness' help!" The ghost's eyes were red.
"Come over here and talk." Gu Danyan quickly dragged him into the long corridor, while Xu Youdao stuck his head out to hug Mo. Meng Xu also put down his brush and ink and listened attentively.
Seeing Gu Liuyan being so serious, ghost also started to talk about it.
At that time, the village had lost some food for a while, and later, the mountain road was dug up. However, he also drank some sewage, and in addition, his mother was alone at home, so she had no helpers at home and suffered from a lot of illnesses. In these few days, she suddenly broke out.
Seeing that she was pitiful and had no one to take care of her, the village mother-in-law wrote a letter to ask the ghost to return home. She said that if her mother couldn't be cured, her life would be lost within a month.
"Then what are we waiting for? Go and prepare the horses, I'll go back with you." Gu Liuyan glared at him.
To her, ghosts and teachers were also her friends. Teach her martial arts was a favor.
"Your Highness doesn't allow it." "I went back once at the beginning of the year, and the Prince said that he had already sent back some money."
"I'll talk to him." Gu Daiyan turned his head away, his face full of dissatisfaction.
Ghosts grabbed her hastily. "Don't go, your highness! While we were nurturing you, you've already made us cut off all relations. What's more, we've already been given money …"
"Even the mountains of gold and silver cannot compare to your mother's life!" Gu Danyan pulled away from him and grabbed his collar, pulling him to his side with great force.
Looking at Gu Daiyan's ferocious appearance, ghost face sank. He hurriedly took out the letter from before: "Granny will write down all of Mother's symptoms on it …"
Gu Danyan glanced at the letter and fiercely shoved it back into his embrace. This time, he pulled Gu Liuyan to his side and spoke with a hint of anger: "Even if your mother dies, I'll watch you die!"
His ghostly eyes widened slightly, and they immediately filled with tears. "Are you saying that my mother …"
"I haven't checked my pulse yet! You, a man, are not allowed to cry for me! Why is it even more useless than my disciple! " Gu Liuyan yelled at him, but the ghost quickly sniffed and stopped crying.
