"If there is nothing, I'll be going first. Goodbye." Gu Jiao turned to get into the carriage.
"Wait." An Junwang opened his mouth to stop her.
Gu Jiao turned her head back at him.
An Junwang: "Can't I talk with you if there is nothing?"
Gu Jiao: "No."
An Junwang took a deep breath, "Treat my illness."
Wu Yang, who wasn’t far away, couldn’t help but gasp for breath. My Lord, what happened to being distrustful of other people? You surrender just like that?
Gu Jiao calmly told him, "Come to the medical hall."
An Junwang smiled warmly, "Okay."
The two of them returned to the medical hall in their respective carriages.
When Gu Jiao walked into the medical hall with An Junwang, Second Owner and Shopkeeper Wang, who were checking accounts at the counter, were shocked.
What was this situation?
Who was this unfamiliar man?
Did their JiaoJiao climb other people’s walls?
Except for Gu Changqing, Gu Jiao had never appeared with a man other than Xiao Liulang. And Gu Changqing was her own brother, so there was nothing fishy there.
Gu Jiao walked ahead, and she might not be aware of it, but the way the other person looked at her was different from that of others. It was a look only men could understand.
Seemingly aware of the two people’s gazes, An Junwang said politely and without losing his status, "I’m here to see the physician."
Second Owner was stupefied, "Ah... see the physician, is it Little Gu?"
Little Gu? An Junwang hooked up the corners of his lips, and his eyes couldn't hide his delight, "En, it is indeed Little Gu."
Second Owner realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.
He and Little Gu had an excellent friendship so he called her Little Gu. But why did a patient who came from who knew where also called her that?
Second Owner was not convinced!
An Junwang put a silver ingot on the counter, "Treatment fee."
Second Owner: "Please head inside!"
Shopkeeper Wang: I look down on you!
An Junwang followed Gu Jiao into the consultation room.
Gu Jiao discovered his night blindness the first time she met him, but she still followed the proper procedure and asked him, "Take a seat. What is wrong?"
An Junwang sat down, "My eyes."
Gu Jiao looked at him and motioned for him to go on.
An Junwang hesitated and finally said truthfully, "I can't see at night."
Gu Jiao added, "Is there anything else uncomfortable besides being unable to see at night?"
"No." An Junwang shook his head.
"How long has this been the case?" Gu Jiao asked.
An Junwang thought for a moment, "It slowly emerged during my second year in the State of Chen. A physician examined it and diagnosed that I should have been poisoned by others, but I never found out what kind of poison it was."
"This has nothing to do with poisoning." Gu Jiao asked about his eyesight again.
An Junwang said, "I can't see clearly if it's too far away."
Gu Jiao pointed to the words on the wall, "What about that?"
An Junwang shook his head.
He also had myopia(nearsightedness).
Gu Jiao gave a judgment in her mind.
Gu Jiao opened the small medicine chest and took out a small flashlight that was less than the size of a palm.
Slit lamp was needed to check the bottom of the eyes. Unfortunately, the small medicine chest couldn’t take out such a huge device for the time being, so she could only do the examination with the naked eye.
Gu Jiao was a physician. When she treated people, she didn’t distinguish between men and women.
She got up, stood in front of An Junwang, and leaned over slightly, "It may be a little dazzling in a bit, just bear it."
"Okay." An Junwang replied.
He was much better than Liu Yisheng as a patient. He did what the physician told him to do, and he never moved.
Gu Jiao liked cooperative patients.
Gu Jiao opened his eyelids with one hand and examined his eyes with the blade-like light of the small flashlight.
An Junwang had no clue what thing she was holding in her hand, but it was so bright that he couldn't see anything.
But the tip of his nose was filled with her fragrance.
"En." After examining his eyes, Gu Jiao retracted the flashlight in her hand, sat back in her seat, and asked him about his eating habits before and after going to the State of Chen. She found that because he was extra vigilant in the State of Chen, he didn't dare to eat many things there, which led to problems with his nutrition intake.
This kind of night blindness was easy to treat.
It was also possible to restore his eyesight to normal.
Gu Jiao took a bottle of cod liver oil tablets from the medicine chest, transferred the contents into a small porcelain bottle and handed it to him, "Consume this once a day, one at a time."
"It’s really not from poisoning?" An Junwang took the small porcelain bottle and asked in disbelief.
He couldn’t be blamed for being so doubtful. He was sent to the State of Chen as a hostage prince at the age of eight. It was unknown how many people were looking forward to his death. He should have been poisoned not just once or twice.
"It's not from poisoning." Gu Jiao replied definitely.
An Junwang suddenly learned that he wasn't poisoned after all. So that was why. All this time, he had been wondering why he couldn’t find the culprit? Two people had even been killed by mistake.
……
Classes in the Imperial Academy finished early today, and Little Jing Kong was picked up by Liu Quan. This evening, Old Chief would give Little Jing Kong a foreign language supplementary class.
Xiao Liulang alone went to the medical hall.
When he went in, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the way people looked at him, especially Second Owner and Shopkeeper Wang, whose eyes looked sympathetic and awkward, and they didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Xiao Liulang got used to all kinds of gazes after having problems with his leg, so he didn't pay it any attention. He simply walked to Gu Jiao's small courtyard.
Second Owner whispered, "Do you think we should tell him that Little Gu is in the consultation room?"
Shopkeeper Wang: "That's not the point, is it?"
The point was that they had been in there for a long time, and still hadn’t come out yet.
Gu girl was never this slow when examining patients, was she?
Of course, they wouldn’t go so far as to say that the two of them were engaging in shameful acts inside. Gu Jiao had her own courtyard; if they really wanted to do something, they should have gone to her courtyard instead.
But it was quite rare for her to treat a patient for so long, not to mention that the man didn’t look sick at all, and was good-looking too.
Second Owner: I know Little Gu best. She must be enjoying watching the eyecandy again, just like she did with Xiao Liulang at that time!
When Xiao Liulang was asleep for the examination of his leg back then, Little Gu took her time enjoying the view for a long time. Humph, don't think he didn’t know!
One needed to pass the consultation room to go to the small courtyard.
Just as Xiao Liulang walked to the door of the consultation room, he saw the door suddenly open from inside.
It was An Junwang.
Xiao Liulang’s footsteps halted.
Just then, the small medicine chest fell off the table, and Gu Jiao reached for it, but her waist was about to hit the table. An Junwang stepped forward, stretched out his hand and placed it between her soft waist and the sharp corner of the table.
Actually, he didn't even touch her. Gu Jiao was able to dodge. She wasn't so careless.
However, from Xiao Liulang's point of view, it looked like his hand was on her waist.
Xiao Liulang's eyes darkened.
