On the other hand, the Emperor learned about Marquis Gu's unsuccessful plea.
He didn't know what exactly had transpired within Gu Jiao's small courtyard. He wasn't so mad as to monitor the little miracle physician. He just sent someone to keep an eye on Marquis Gu, who entered the medical hall vertically and came out horizontally.
He was found by Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong skillfully carried people into the carriage.
Based on the scout’s report, how could the word miserable be enough to describe it?
Emperor: "Did he get into a fight with someone?"
Eunuch Wei: Who knows, I dare not ask.
However, looking at Marquis Gu's tragic appearance, his pleading must have been a failure. With this, the Emperor was almost certain about the little miracle physician’s attitude towards Gu Jinyu.
The Emperor set aside the mountain of memorandums and said, "All right, let’s head to the medical hall."
He had something to ask the little miracle physician face to face.
There was also his illness.
The little miracle physician said that reexamination should be done once every three months in the course of two years.
Eunuch Wei asked, "Is Your Majesty still going incognito? Do you want to wear a bamboo hat this time?"
Going incognito was necessary. As for the bamboo hat——
The Emperor thought about it and put it on in the end.
Eunuch Wei had already appeared in the medical hall yesterday, so the Emperor didn't take him this time. He took Eunuch He who had accompanied him to the county town.
Eunuch He was an inconspicuous eunuch who didn’t even work around the Emperor. It was difficult for ordinary people to associate him with the Emperor.
Eunuch Wei felt some taste in his heart. On such important missions, His Majesty would always take that old bastard, Old He, with him. Fortunately, he had done a great job in waiting upon His Majesty, and no problem had occurred during their trip in Jiangnan at the beginning. Eunuch Wei only heard about the little imperial physician from His Majesty afterwards too.
Eunuch He appeared in the medical hall with His Majesty wearing a veiled bamboo hat.
Both Second Owner and Shopkeeper Wang had seen Eunuch He and the man in the bamboo hat before.
However, that was in a small county town.
At that time, they were held around their necks by a group of experts, which was still quite fresh in their memory.
Both Second Owner and Shopkeeper Wang trembled instinctively when they saw the other party again.
What did this man seriously want from them?
How much hatred did he have with them?
He unexpectedly chased them from the county town to the capital?
Second Owner and Shopkeeper Wang misunderstood. The Emperor didn't bring any guards this time, there were only he and Eunuch He.
The Emperor pressed his throat and asked in the same low voice he used to talk to people in the county town, "Is that girl here?"
Shopkeeper Wang realized that he was asking about Gu Jiao, who had treated him back then. He blankly pointed to the backyard and said, "In... in the back..."
Before he finished speaking, the Emperor already left with Eunuch He.
He went to Gu Jiao's small courtyard.
However, the first thing he saw was the child he met in the street last night.
The little guy, dressed in the Imperial Academy's elementary school uniform, stood at the gate of the courtyard, and his little face was crumpled up as if something was bothering him.
“Jing Kong.” The Emperor walked over.
Little Jing Kong restrained his sad face and looked up at him strangely, "Do you know me?"
Only then did the Emperor remember that he was wearing a bamboo hat with a veil. He smiled and said, "People in the medical hall told me. Are you that Jing Kong?"
"I am." Little Jing Kong nodded.
The Emperor liked the child very much, not only because he was adorable, but also because he did himself a big favor. If he hadn't happened to bring him to the medical hall, he might not have found out the truth about the accident with the bellows.
He already knew that Little Jing Kong was the younger brother of the little miracle physician, but he hadn't heard that Marquis Gu had a younger son outside the estate. He didn’t know where this younger brother came from.
He asked nicely, "Is your elder sister here?"
"Are you looking for JiaoJiao?" Little Jing Kong spread his hands, "Then you may have to wait. She's seeing someone."
The Emperor asked, "What is she examining?"
Little Jing Kong said, "Bird’s disease."
The Emperor was slightly astonished.
Little Jing Kong sighed, "Alas, these adults are always fooling around outside, going just about everywhere and ruining their birds, and then coming to JiaoJiao to examine their birds. JiaoJiao is very busy, where can she find time to check the birds of this group of smelly men day by day?"
The words ‘smelly man’ were a vocabulary he learned from Aunt Zhang next door.
At present, he was at the age of learning to speak and was still incapable of distinguishing between good words and bad words. He would say it after hearing it, and even made a perfect mimicry of the scathing little tone.
Originally, the Emperor’s thoughts didn't go in that direction, but this little manner and tone really made people think twice.
He broke out in a cold sweat, wondering if this disease was so prevalent in the capital now. At that moment, he saw several men coming out with birdcages.
"Thank you, Young Miss Gu! We'll pay attention! No more misfeeding!"
Several people thanked Gu Jiao and left with their treated birds such as Crested myna, parrot, and melodious laughingthrush, feeling a sense of relief.
The corner of the Emperor's mouth twitched, so the bird in your mouth was a literal bird?
Little Jing Kong ran over and pointed to the Emperor outside the gate, "JiaoJiao! Someone is looking for you!"
Gu Jiao conveniently turned to look at the Emperor.
The Emperor was wearing a veiled bamboo hat, not at all worried that she would recognize him. However, plans could go awry sometimes. A young man carrying a bird cage accidentally twisted his foot; he reached out in an attempt to prevent his fall and ended up grabbing his hat off!
The Emperor’s face was immediately exposed to the public!
At this critical juncture, the Emperor pushed Eunuch He into the bush!
The confused Eunuch He who suffered a sudden disaster: "..."
Little Jing Kong exclaimed, "Uncle Chu! It’s you!" Then he said to Gu Jiao, "JiaoJiao, JiaoJiao! He was the handsome uncle from yesterday! My schoolmate’s dad!"
Gu Jiao didn't manage to see Eunuch He, only a bamboo hat that fell to the ground. However, she didn't think of that special patient she had treated back in the county town for the time being.
Gu Jiao: Oh, that Lord officer yesterday turns out to be the father of the little fat man.
The Emperor chuckled.
Inside, he was almost weeping...
Gu Jiao asked, "Are you here for the investigation?"
"...Yes." The Emperor toughened his scalp and replied.
Gu Jiao said to Little Jing Kong, "Go play in the yard for a while."
"Okay, JiaoJiao!" Little Jing Kong was a sensible boy. Knowing that JiaoJiao was busy, he skipped away to play by himself.
Gu Jiao took the Emperor into the main room and poured him a bowl of tea.
The Emperor looked at the ocean bowl in front of him, and commented inwardly that the little miracle physician truly had wonderful tastes.
"What else do you want to know?" Gu Jiao asked.
Although Gu Changqing said yesterday that he would deal with the investigation, one couldn’t say for sure that the yamen officers wouldn’t have to collect evidence in different aspects.
