After nearly a month on the road, everyone finally returned to the capital.

Yixiu felt strange.

Emperor Kangxi asked Yinzhen, Xinghui and doctor Li Xuesheng to deal with the bandit problem, so she was the only one who came back with the women.

Jianqiu walked over and whispered a few words to Yixiu.

"What's going on?" Yixiu asked in a low voice. She had just entered the mansion, and as a concubine, she naturally came to see Lu Yingfeng.

Jianqiu replied, "As soon as I entered the palace, I followed the instructions of the Majesty and secretly went to Ruyi Garden to see Lingyu Gege. I then learned that Gege was seriously ill. The maidservants wanted to ask the palace doctor to come, but were stopped by the guards at the door."

"Before we left, I checked the guard's background according to Majesty's instructions, but I didn't expect that the guard fell ill a few days after we left, so Zhang Jinming replaced him with someone else."

How could it be such a coincidence?

There must be something weird.

Jian Qiu continued, "I have just sent someone to invite Doctor Wen. Would you like to go over and take a look?"

Yixiu rejected Jianqiu's proposal. She took off the token and handed it to Jianqiu, giving him instructions one by one.

As for Yixiu herself, there are more important things to do.

It will only be effective if you finish it and go see Lingyu.

--------

As for Wen Xumo, he was led by Jianqiu into Lingyu's room to take her pulse.

The guard at the door turned pale when Jianqiu showed Yixiu's token. In the winter season, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

As soon as Jianqiu stepped into the house, the guard wanted to leave, but there was no way he could get away. Several guards who had been hiding in the dark immediately surrounded him, covered his mouth and threw him into the woodshed of Ruyi Garden.

"The concubine is still ill and unconscious. Should I wait for her to come and report to her?" Wen Xumo looked towards the door. He was not sure whether Yixiu would come, but he was looking forward to seeing her.

The last time, when he accidentally picked up Kang Luhai, he hurried over to tell Yixiu, but someone got there first and killed him.

He felt guilty and always hoped to do something to restore his image in Yixiu's heart.

Otherwise, you will always feel itchy all over your body when you lie in bed at night.

He was the imperial physician, representing a group of people with the most superb medical skills in the Qing Empire.

But he really didn't know how to heal his inner demons.

He even secretly hoped that someone else in the mansion would fall ill so that he would have a chance to visit them.

However, the next time we heard about Yixiu, it was that she followed Yinzhen to the frontier.

Wen Xumo felt depressed. Naturally, he didn't dare to compete with the prince.

It was just a few days ago that whenever I thought of Yixiu and Yinzhen watching the stars and the moon together in the frontier, and maybe even talking about poetry and songs and their ideals in life, I would feel upset.

I don’t know what kind of poetry and songs Yixiu likes, or what her ideals in life are.

While on duty at the Imperial Hospital, Wen Xumo looked up at the bright moon above the Forbidden City and speculated in his mind.

Looking up at the bright moon, I think of my old friends.

No, he not only misses his old friend, he can also continue to research a prescription for treating headaches for his old friend.

The next time he sees Yixiu, he will be able to give her the recipe.

--------

"Our wife is still busy, and the imperial physician told me the same thing."

Jianqiu spoke with confidence, as if my master still trusted me very much.

Wen Xumo suddenly felt lost. It turned out that even if she returned to the capital and he came to the mansion, he would still not be able to see her as long as his status stood between them.

He was not necessarily qualified to see her.

She had no obligation to see him.

"The concubine has a severe cold. It should be because she caught a cold and ate too much cold food, which caused the spleen and stomach to be out of balance. This is not a serious illness, but..."

Wen Xumo paused. Although he didn't know the details of this mansion, he could feel the undercurrent from his several visits to the doctor.

He began to imagine, wondering whether Yixiu asked him to come over to save someone or to give someone a ride.

"Physician, just say whatever you want. As long as the concubine can be cured, no matter how expensive the medicinal materials are, they will be used." Jianqiu interrupted.

Wen Xumo then said, "But because it has been delayed for too long, and Concubine Jin is worried and confused, her condition has become more and more serious. I will prescribe a prescription for Concubine Jin first. While the young lady sends someone to get the medicine, I will give Concubine Jin acupuncture."

"When the hour ends, Concubine will be more sober."

Wen Xumo estimated the time for acupuncture and moxibustion, but couldn't help asking, "I dare to ask one more question. Will Fu Jin come over soon?"

"Is there something wrong with the imperial physician?" Jianqiu asked puzzledly.

"Hmm..." Wen Xumo felt that half of his breath was stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down.

He couldn't just say that he wanted to see if he would have another chance to see Yixiu if he stayed any longer.

An idea struck Wen Xumo, and he explained, "After I give you acupuncture, Concubine will wake up, but it will be better for her body if she stays awake for a while before continuing to sleep. I was afraid that Fu Jin would come to visit Concubine, so I calculated the time to avoid overtiring Concubine."

Yixiu seems to be quite interested in this concubine, so she will come over soon...

Then can he meet her too?

If she was lucky, she might even have a chance to say a few words, even if it was just a routine report to her about the concubine's condition.

Wen Xumo raised his head, his eyes full of anticipation.

Jianqiu's next words put an end to his hopes: "The imperial physician is very considerate. But our wife is busy with other things, and I don't know when the master will come."

Ok.

Wen Xumo sighed slightly, but didn't dare to react any further. Jianqiu was her personal maid, and he didn't dare to show his true colors...

In this prosperous era, under the guidance of a noble family, he kept his hidden love to himself.
