late night song

Chapter 16
When he woke up the next morning, Gu Yuchu was dressing up while looking through the account books of the palace and Feiying Street, as well as the gift list for Prince Rong's wedding next month. The princess's life was not as leisurely as she imagined.

She was busy all morning, took a nap at noon, and then sat on the corridor in the middle of the lake in a daze with nothing to do.

Occasionally, she was pleasantly surprised when she heard the girls who had returned home after waking up from their relatives say that purple gourds were hanging high in front of the Tonglu Medical Center on Huangchang Road. She had not seen her old friend Qiongzhou for almost a year.

Gu Yuchu quickly changed into ordinary clothes and took Liansheng out.

"Ms. Wang, I don't feel comfortable there. Why go to the hospital? I can just ask the housekeeper to ask the doctor to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment. Why bother to go there myself?" Liansheng was very puzzled.

"This Xuanlai miraculous doctor travels all over the world. Every city he visits must hold free medical clinics for three days. China is so big that it only took three years for the last visit to the capital. I must go and see the miraculous doctor. The princes are not at home, and I am fine. But please just follow and don't talk too much." Gu Yuchu nodded Liansheng's forehead and made up a reasonable reason to save her from chattering endlessly.

When their carriage arrived at the Huangchang intersection, they saw a long queue outside Tonglu Medical Center, which was very lively.

Everyone in the world knew that Xuan Lai had superb medical skills, but few knew that she had an eccentric temper and did not like others to cheat, cheat, or bully others. However, knowing her temper well, Gu Yuchu faced such a scene, so he naturally got off the carriage and lined up in person.Unexpectedly, she had to wait for more than an hour. When it was almost her turn, she sent Liansheng to Yipinju to buy hot plum blossom dew to ward off the cold.

Gu Yuchu knew in his heart that this little tail was Qi Jian's spy. Not taking her with him would make Qi Jian suspicious. Taking her with him would make it difficult to talk to his old friend, so he had to find this way to get rid of her.

Gu Yuchu walked into the doctor-patient room alone and sat down in front of the large medical case. When Xuanlai saw the doctor sitting down, he asked through the curtain:

"Is the girl feeling slightly ill?"

Rumor has it that Xuan Lai has a male-female appearance, and he has always disliked other people's comments about his appearance, so every time he consults a doctor, he always hangs in plain gauze in the hall to prevent the doctor from seeing his appearance clearly.

But Gu Yuchu knew that she was a woman, but she was born with a low and hoarse voice, just like a man's, so she used this as a cover up to make it easier to travel around the world.

So when she heard this unique voice, she was absolutely certain that it was Xuan Lai himself.

So, he replied: "I've been very tired recently, I have a headache and a hot brain, but I have a very good appetite and eat a lot. I often stay up late at night and can't sleep. Doctor, do I have some incurable disease?"

But before Xuan Lai could speak, he heard another soft voice: "For such a minor illness, it is better for the disciple to come and take a look at it, so that the master will not have to work hard."

Gu Yuchu lowered his head and snickered, thinking that he had finally caught up.

"It's okay, I'll save you from nagging me endlessly. This girl, my beloved disciple has my true medical skills. I wonder if you can trust her. Don't worry, let her show it to you."

"The disciples of the miracle doctor must have different reactions, so I would rather obey him than obey him."

Then, a woman in a light blue skirt opened the curtains. She simply tied up her hair, with a leaf-shaped silver hairpin inserted at an angle, which was exquisite but not tacky.

The woman in blue guided Gu Yuchu into the side room at the back of the hall with an expressionless face. After closing the door, her face suddenly changed and she smiled brightly and made Gu Yuchu jump up. If someone didn't know the truth, they would definitely think that there was something wrong with this girl's mind.

"Damn girl, where have you been this year?" The woman in blue grabbed Gu Yuchu's sleeve and asked with a bared teeth.

"Zi Zi, can you be more virtuous? Listen carefully, master." Gu Yuchu rolled his eyes and then smiled.

Lan Ye is Gu Yuchu's only and best friend in Sanxing Academy, although she does not belong to the same branch as him.

She studied under Dui Men and specialized in medical skills.

The two of them had nothing in common, but Gu Yuchu liked to go to Zuoyun Mountain in the academy to practice martial arts, and it happened that Lan Ye also often went to this mountain to collect medicine. When he was 13 years old, by chance, Gu Yuchu saved a man who almost fell into the mountain while collecting medicine. Lan Ye, who was on the cliff, also laughed at her, saying that it was ridiculous that a doctor who was so busy couldn't even save herself at the critical moment.

From then on, the two started an endless bickering mode and eventually became confidants who talked about everything.

But before Gu Yuchu left school, Lanye followed her master down the mountain to visit free clinics. When they parted, they agreed on this secret code to identify themselves under special circumstances.

In fact, this was also the cause of Lan Ye's accidental ingestion of Xu Ling Cao when she was trying Baicao, resulting in dizziness and vomiting. Gu Yuchu laughed at her because she clearly had a good appetite and gluttony.

The two played around for a while, and Lanye asked Gu Yuchu for the personal jade plaque and looked at it carefully.

"Do you have any news about my brother? Tell me quickly!" Gu Yuchu suddenly became excited and rushed forward and asked anxiously.

"How can you beg me?" Lanye smiled and raised his eyebrows, directly asking for an advantage.

Gu Yuchu glanced at her sideways, knowing that this woman would be difficult to deal with, but fortunately she was well prepared, so he quickly took out a silk bag from his arms and handed it to her generously.

"Here, I specially selected the green-leaf hosta for you. I knew you were going to play tricks."

"I don't think you like these gold and jade jewelry. Why don't you give me the one on your head as well?" Although Lanye accepted the gift, he still deliberately made things difficult. When they first met, she saw that she was well-dressed, especially He had doubts about the valuable hairpin on his head and was curious about Gu Yuchu's extraordinary experiences in recent years.

"Damn girl, you've gone too far."

Gu Yuchu didn't even think about it. He raised his hand to pull out the hairpin, but Lan Ye stopped him immediately.

"Since you don't value sex over friends, I won't take anything from you. Please explain to me honestly later."

She said with a smile, and then returned to the topic.

"I remember you once mentioned to me that you and your brother each have this jade plaque. Yours is engraved with your mother's favorite honeysuckle flower, and your brother's is engraved with the spring bamboo shoots, which is taken from your father's cousin Yin Di, which represents With the arrival of honeysuckle and spring, I hope that you, my brothers and sisters, will be able to persevere and have a stable life. Is that right?"

"Have you seen another jade plaque?" When Gu Yuchu heard this, he immediately stepped forward and took Lan Ye's hand and asked, very nervously.

"I've seen him before, in Yunjing, the capital of Beiling Kingdom."

"Then who owns this jade? Is it a young master?" "Yes!"

Gu Yuchu was overjoyed and squeezed Lan Ye's hand tightly, causing her to scream in pain.

"It hurts. I won't tell you if I squeeze it any more." Lan Ye expressed dissatisfaction. Gu Yuchu immediately let go of his hand and held her shoulders with both hands, eyes filled with anticipation.

"That day, my master and I traveled to Yunjing. It was the Dragon Boat Festival. I asked my master for leave and was wandering alone at the temple fair. Suddenly I saw a young man who was suave, handsome, good-looking..." Lan Ye was immersed in his own memories. , with a look of nymphomaniac.

"Tell me the important point!" Gu Yuchu stamped his feet anxiously.

"Why are you so anxious? It's just because of this young man's appearance that I pay more attention to him. Guess why?" Lan Ye gave it a try, with a very proud expression on his face.

"He looks a lot like you! So, I followed him for most of the temple fair. I wanted to go forward and create some opportunities to have a chat with him so that I could find out more about him. Who knew that a thief would pick him up? Fortunately, he had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he immediately snatched it back from the thief. I guessed it looked like a jade plaque, but I couldn't see it clearly."

"and then?"

"Nothing happened. There were too many people on the street. If you follow him, you won't know where he is going."

"Can you clearly see the red birthmark on his right arm?"

Faced with Gu Yuchu's questioning, Lanye rolled his eyes and muttered: "Sister, that was on the street. Do you think you want me to be frivolous with a man in broad daylight?"

"Oh."

Gu Yuchu calmed down, responded disappointedly, and asked no more questions.

Indeed, appearance, age and similar jade plaques alone cannot explain anything. The world is so big that there are many people who look similar, not to mention that the jade pendants of the two of them are just ordinary things.

"Don't be discouraged. At least you have some clues, right? He looks similar and has similar jade cards. He may have a lot of potential. It's agreed. If he is really your brother, you will definitely accept me as your sister-in-law. Yes!" Lanye stepped forward to comfort him.

Gu Yuchu smiled bitterly, but then she thought, she should really be happy. After all, this was the first time in so many years that she had news about her younger brother.

"It's your turn to recruit. Which official's wife did you become?" Lan Ye saw that her friend's expression became much more relaxed, so she changed the topic and asked Gu Yuchu about his current situation. She was really curious about her friend. With the circumstances of this year, how could a Sunda disciple be so arrogant in the market?

"I am Princess Qin now." Facing Lan's question, Gu Yuchu didn't want to hide anything, but her answer was very low, and she didn't know why she felt guilty.

"What?! King Dongqi Qin opened his frame?" Lan Ye spat out a sip of tea, extremely shocked, "What is going on? You are such a damn girl, you are so beautiful, you envy me to death."

"Is this your reaction?" When Gu Yu saw her like this for the first time, his eyes widened and he was extremely helpless.

"Otherwise, I won't ask more questions than I should. It's just that the royal family is complicated, so you have to be extra careful."

Lanye raised his eyebrows, spread his hands, and then warned.

She knew in her heart that every day when the Xunmen Shadow Master was born, she was a slave to others, and her freedom and life were not within her control.She and Gu Yuchu were in love with each other, and no matter what mission she was tasked with, she definitely did not want her to move forward with difficulty and be in panic all day long.

Moreover, when she saw Gu Yuchu's expression today, she was afraid that the person she missed in the past was the King of Qin. Although she didn't know the reason, but compared to other days when shadows were dark, murderers drank blood, and names were unknown, her current situation was It was so much better, and as a confidant, she was very pleased.

"Ye Zi..." Gu Yuchu hesitated, feeling filled with emotion. He firmly believed that it was a blessing to have such a close friend in his life.

Although they have known each other for ten years, she rarely mentioned her life experience to Lan Ye. That old case involved the interests of too many people. For the sake of Lan Ye's safety, she did not dare to let her know too much.

And Lan Ye also has a blue heart, and he has long seen that she has something to hide, and steps forward to gently hug her Bijian, reaffirming their vow to live up to their past regardless of the past.

"Miss, are you in there?"

Just when the two of them wanted to talk more about their respective experiences during the past year, unfortunately, Liansheng had already come looking for him.

Gu Yuchu winked at Lan Ye and called Liansheng into the room. Lan Ye's heart was like a mirror, and he returned to his previous cold expression and said no more.

"Miss, I waited in line for a long time, and finally I bought out all the plum blossom hot dew." Liansheng explained, looking a little aggrieved.

"It's okay. This is the disciple of the miracle doctor Xuan Lai. She cut my pulse just now. When you return home, remember to send someone to pay for the diagnosis."

"No need, Xuanhu will be a free clinic for three days. Besides, the girl is strong. Just remember not to worry too much and keep warm."

Lan Ye reminded lightly, and Gu Yu understood the concern for the first time.

"I am very happy to have the doctor look at you today. If you are free someday, the lady can come to my house and have some tea. I will treat you well. I will take my leave today."

Although Gu Yuchu was polite, his eyes were full of reluctance when he looked at Lan Ye, and so was Lan Ye. They could no longer stay together as carefree as they did when they were young. Thinking of this, Lan Ye couldn't help but tighten his grip. He picked up the green leaf jade hairpin in his hand.

She all knew that Gu Yuchu didn't like the pearls and jade strings from her daughter's house, but she always liked to find some leaf-related jewelry for herself, just because of her name.

That night, Gu Yuchu lay on the bed unable to fall asleep for a long time, feeling both excited and disappointed.

For the first time in so many years, she had news about her younger brother. She wanted to set off immediately to find him, but Yunjing was thousands of miles away from Qidu, and given her current status, it was really unrealistic.

But the hope in her heart grew stronger and stronger, ardently looking forward to the day when the young man with jade in mind was her biological brother, and looking forward to the day when their siblings would finally be reunited.
