After hearing what her eldest sister said that day, Lin Yunyan had been thinking about when to go to Fu Guogong's Mansion.
You must go, but timing is extremely important.
She actually didn't know exactly how Xu Jian was injured this time, what happened, and what the condition was. She only heard Xu Jian tell her.
Self-reports are often the most unreliable.
It wasn't that Xu Jian deliberately lied to her, but that Xu Jian was indeed avoiding some questions. Lin Yunyan felt it, but it was difficult to explain the specific reasons.
The same is true for Xu Jian's injury.
During several conversations, Xu Jian gave her the feeling of being at ease.
He was very aware of his injury and accepted it very well. He still strategized and made Lin Yunyan feel that the injury was also part of his plan.
But it was precisely this kind of plan that made Lin Yunyan very uncertain once news about the treatment began to spread.
Are you really being treated?
Does it really hurt?
Or maybe he was actually in more pain than others saw.
The better she got to know Xu Jian, the clearer Lin Yunyan was that Xu Jian would not miss this opportunity.
He would not suffer such a crime "in vain". It was real pain and false pain. As long as the whole court knew about his pain, he would have to earn something back.
Earning more or less depends naturally on your ability.
What Lin Yunyan hoped was that her visit would be just right and add another big bargaining chip to Xu Jian in this game.
It won't work if it's too early, and it won't work if it's too late.
Lin Yunyan went to ask her father.
I heard from my father that Xu Jian's condition was not very good during those days when he went to court. It was obvious that he was enduring pain in his legs.
"I asked him, and he said, 'It's okay,' but his brows were furrowed and his whole body was tense."
"His steps are very difficult, especially going up and down the steps of the trail. He can walk slowly when going down, but he can't go up. He can't fall off, and no one can help him."
"I heard that the pain will get worse after two days. He asked me to tell you that you don't have to worry. It's just a process."
Sure enough, this "in two days" will come in the blink of an eye.
The news that Xu Jian had not gone to court for several days reached Lin Yunyan's ears through her father.
Lin Yunyan took a deep breath. It seemed that it was almost time. It was time.
The next day after Chen Gui made up his mind without asking Chen Gui to let Xu Jian know in advance, Lin Yunyan's carriage arrived directly outside the Duke Fu's mansion.
She didn't mean to shy away from it at all.
The gorgeous carriage passed through the streets and alleys and stopped directly outside the house. Wan Yue got out of the carriage and knocked on the door.
As soon as he entered the house, the news slowly spread.
At the concierge, Xu Bai, who came after hearing the news, welcomed Lin Yunyan inside.
This was the first time for Xu Bai to see the future mistress of the house. At first glance, he thought the princess looked outstanding.
There is no shortage of beautiful people in the Xu family. Whether it is the old lady who has passed away many years ago or the old lady who has returned home, they are all good-looking.
The princess was not at a disadvantage.
Although she has a serious expression and no smile on her face, her delicate eyebrows make people fall in love with her at a glance.
No wonder it impressed their prince.
Xu Bai guessed the princess's intention.
The Duke of Guo was not in court for a few days due to treatment for his injuries, and there was a lot of rumors outside. The princess could not hide it from herself. The princess was worried about the Duke of Guo, so she would not care about the rules and customs. She came to see it with her own eyes to put her mind at ease.
Xu Bai led the way and said to Lin Yunyan: "You are here by chance. The acupuncture is being performed at the moment. Don't be anxious. I said he can bear it."
Lin Yunyan looked at Xu Bai.
As Xu Bai was an old steward in the mansion, she had had many dealings with him in the past.
This old man was considerate and loyal, and he could only offer a few words of relief after seeing her worries.
"Which courtyard should the injury be treated in?" Lin Yunyan asked.
Before she got married, Xu Jian almost lived in the study room in the front yard.
However, Lin Yunyan knew about him. The study was a forbidden area. No one could enter except Shen Chen and Xuan Su. She would not let the doctor in even if she wanted to. He would have to move to another place if he needed to treat an injury.
Xu Bai said: "It's in Anpingyuan, not far away."
Lin Yunyan quickened her pace.
As he walked, Xu Bai gradually noticed something was wrong.
The princess seems to be very familiar with the Duke's Mansion.
Leading the way may seem simple, but in fact there are a lot of things to pay attention to. It must not be too fast, nor too slow to allow guests who don’t know the route to look left and right. It must be just a few steps ahead, and the body shape and gestures have already laid out the direction, so the guests don’t need to ask. figure it out.
But the princess walked very quickly, and almost before he turned around, the princess knew which way to go.
Xu Bai was confused and didn't know how to ask, so he walked all the way to the outside of Anping Courtyard.
"Mrs. Gu is probably in there too. She has been accompanying Mr. Guo to heal his injuries these days."
Lin Yunyan was slightly startled when she heard this, and then she realized that "Mrs. Gu" refers to Mrs. Xu.
Too.
Xu Jian Chengjue, he is the Duke of the country, and given the seniority, Mrs. Xu has to be labeled as "old" in her early thirties.
Some servants had already come to report the letter before. They already knew that Lin Yunyan was visiting and Shen Chen was waiting outside the hospital.
When he saw Lin Yunyan, he bowed.
Lin Yunyan stopped her steps at this time and asked: "Are you still being treated? How is your condition?"
Shen Chen said: "We are in treatment. I estimate it will take half an hour. Would you like to go in now or sit in the side hall for a while?"
Lin Yunyan chuckled.
As soon as I heard these words, I knew it couldn't have been thought up by Shen Chen, it must have been Xu Jian's order.
She is already here. Did she come to have tea and snacks with him?
Aren't you just here to look at the injury?
If the injury is on the leg, you must not dress neatly during treatment, especially when the injured leg is completely exposed.
Although it is said that she has "failed to pass", what hasn't she seen?
Xu Jian is not such a fussy person.
You are so particular, would you have personally buttoned her sleeve bag before?
It's just that Mrs. Xu is here, forcing her to put on such airs.
What end?
He would have to dismantle it all.
"I'll go in." Lin Yunyan said.
When Shen Chen heard this, he took a few steps forward, stood outside the door and called in. When Xu Jian responded, he raised the curtain and invited Lin Yunyan.
Lin Yunyan stepped forward and did not see Xu Jian at a glance.
When performing acupuncture, you need to be protected from the wind. All the windows in the house are closed, and a screen is placed in front of the door to block it.
Lin Yunyan only saw the medicine box on the table in the middle room, open, with all the doctor's instruments inside.
Walking around the screen, her eyes turned and met Xu Jian's in the air.
Involuntarily, Lin Yunyan pursed her lower lip tightly.
She didn't even bother to look at Xu Jian's legs. She just looked at his expression and was shocked.
Xu Jian was not in good spirits.
He is not in a state of weight loss, and there is no stubble on his chin, but he is not refreshed at all, and his eye sockets are deeper than before.
Sweat should have been wiped off the forehead, but the hair could not be held up and was covered with sweat, making it wet. The loose forehead hair made the person extremely tired.
Especially those eyes, which are extremely dark and bottomless, making people panic.
"You..." Lin Yunyan gritted her teeth.
Before coming, she had anticipated Xu Jian's situation.
No matter what, it shouldn't be worse than before.
In the past, she accompanied Xu Jian through the process of his right leg gradually shrinking, affecting his left leg, and finally being forced to sit in a wheelchair. During the treatment, the injuries were treated with great care and urgency. Xu Jian suffered a lot, and she had seen it all with her own eyes.
Right now, it should be lighter.
I'm sure I can pretend, but that's to face the court, so there's no serious reason to pretend to be here with her.
In fact, with Xu Jian's temperament, he would most likely still pretend to be indifferent to her.
As a result, if this is "Fengqingyundan" that has been modified, what will it look like without modification?
When Lin Yunyan moved her eyes down to Xu Jian's legs, her brows furrowed tightly.
There is no long, snake-like knife mark, nor is it shrunken or deformed. Just looking at it this way, it is actually nothing at all.
Compared with the faint scars and the appearance in Lin Yunyan's memory, she would not have been anxious at all.
But she saw those silver needles, and also saw the dense blue and purple under the silver needles, dots and dots, connected into a patch.
Xu Jian was also looking at Lin Yunyan.
As the treatment progressed, he guessed that Lin Yunyan would come, and he even guessed that she was probably calculating the most suitable time.
Xu Jian didn't let anyone send her a message and let her figure out the time on her own.
Xu Jian actually breathed a sigh of relief when someone came to report that "the princess is here."
It's almost time to come. If you don't come, you won't be the little princess.
I just didn't expect that after taking one look at it, the little princess felt very wrong.
Almost instantly, his eyes turned red.
She didn't even bother to say hello to Xu Miao.
Xu Jian said hurriedly: "It just looks scary. These are the colors from the medicinal bath. They are stained."
Lin Yunyan did not answer this and looked at Doctor Yue beside her with a frown.
Doctor Yue's mouth twitched.
What did this make him say?
Should a doctor's conscience allow him to talk nonsense?
After taking a medicinal bath, if you want to dye one leg, how can it be that the same section of green is blue and purple?
Even if he talks nonsense out of conscience, the princess will believe him.
The princess is not easy to deceive at first glance.
Doctor Yue was extremely confused. He glanced at Xu Jian and then at Lin Yunyan. He forced himself to smile and said: "It looks scary, but in fact it is a normal situation when treating injuries."
Lin Yunyan breathed out slowly.
The doctor was in trouble, so she would not press him for anything.
After calming down, Lin Yunyan and Xu Miao saluted.
Xu Miao's face didn't look good.
She has been tired these past few days and feels tired.
No mother can sleep soundly after seeing her son suffering like this. Even if Dr. Yue explained it to her several times, she would be worried about it.
But apart from accompanying her, she couldn't do anything to help Xu Jian. In other words, even accompanying her was just to comfort herself.
Hearing that Lin Yunyan was here, Xu Miao was surprised, but also understandable.
Although Ah Jian and the princess have not yet consummated their marriage, their relationship has always been good. How could the princess not be worried?
It's okay to come and take a look, otherwise you will have to worry about it day and night.
Moreover, she had to comfort and comfort the princess for A Jian.
The more relaxed she looks, the more at ease the princess can be, right?
Xu Miao made up her mind, but she didn't expect that as soon as Lin Yunyan came in, the worry and concern in her eyes were not hidden at all, and it wouldn't be surprising even if she was about to shed tears in the next moment.
This made Xu Miao feel heartache.
I feel sorry for A Jian, and I also feel sorry for the princess.
yes.
Isn’t that what it is?
If you are sincere and sincere, even if you hold it in on the face, or even endure it until outsiders can't see any clues, your heart will be overwhelming and turbulent.
And the princess doesn't need to, and won't force herself to dress casually.
Seeing that Lin Yunyan was about to cry, Xu Miao's eyes turned red. He went over to hold her in his arms and said softly: "Isn't it scary? I haven't gotten used to it after watching it for a few days. When you first saw it, it was
Can't stand it.
Alas, look at me, my face is a little pale.
You sit with A-Jian for a while, and I'll go clean my face."
After Xu Miao finished speaking, she let go of Lin Yunyan, turned around and walked out.
Doctor Yue understood that the needle was pricking him, and he was not needed at the moment, so he withdrew.
Only Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian were left in the room.
Lin Yunyan walked to the chair where Xu Miao was sitting before and sat down directly.
Xu Jian closed her eyes, adjusted herself, and then opened her eyes again to look at her: "I was thinking you were almost here."
Lin Yunyan observed carefully for a while, especially Xu Jian's legs. She frowned and looked at Xu Jian's eyes for a long time, and then met Xu Jian's eyes again: "You, don't you want to be cured? Then how can it be cured?
Xu Jian was completely avoiding the important and taking the easy.
She tilted her body and looked outside. Shen Chen was guarding outside the house, and Doctor Yue seemed to be in the yard.
So, she lowered her voice and said, "Is that Doctor Yue or Doctor Zhang?"
After she finished asking, she saw another layer of sweat on Xu Jian's forehead. Lin Yunyan took out her handkerchief and wiped it with him: "If you don't have the energy to talk now, stop talking and rest your mind."
Xu Jian looked at her and smiled.
The scarf on the forehead is very soft, and you can smell a faint fragrance when breathing.
That is the smell of incense that the little princess likes. Her clothes and handkerchiefs will have this smell.
Saying that he is worthy of it gives peace of mind and refreshes his mind.
The former one felt right to Xu Jian, but the latter one didn't feel right to him at all.
Where did you wake up?
It was better to relieve his fatigue, which made him want to close his eyes and take a rest. He had not slept well in the past few days.
A while ago, his fatigue was deliberately put on display, and the effect was created by drinking cups of strong tea, so that everyone in the court room thought he could not sleep at night.
But these days, it really isn’t caused by tea leaves.
"It feels like it's hurt all over again", it's not just words, it really made him suffer a lot.
He couldn't even tell which one hurt more.
Coupled with the fatigue caused by tea in the past few days, my body is very tired, and I can't rest mentally, the situation looks even worse.
"It's Dr. Zhang," Xu Jian sighed, "the same Dr. Guanzhong we met at that time."
Lin Yunyan responded.
She knew exactly when.
Xu Jian wanted to say something more, but raised her hand to touch her eyebrows. What she touched with her fingers was not her forehead, but Lin Yunyan's hand holding the handkerchief.
Lin Yunyan loosened the handkerchief and wanted to take her hand back and let him wipe it off by himself.
Xu Jian ignored the handkerchief and stretched his fingers to this side, directly clasping Lin Yunyan's hand and holding it tightly.
"I really don't have the energy," his voice became deeper, "Let me take a break."
Lin Yunyan moved her fingertips and saw that Xu Jian had closed her eyes and her eyes were green. She relaxed her arm and did not move or take her hand out.
The scorching summer has passed, and autumn is approaching these days.
However, the room was airtight and dull. She put the back of her hand on Xu Jian's forehead, and the sweat soaked off it and became sticky.
