Truly great.
Even Zhuang Yuexi on one side was filled with shock.
What just happened?
How could her big brother leave her behind and run away with another woman?
Bishui Alley.
Gu Jiao looked at An Junwang gloomily, "Did you do it on purpose? You even imitated the way he walks!"
An Junwang couldn’t help but chuckle, "Well, yes, I did it on purpose."
The moment his wrist was grabbed by her, he knew that she made a mistake. She didn't walk very fast, and was very careful to keep out the surging crowd for him. She guarded him from the front as she led him out of the sea of people.
But he didn't stop her and even lied to her on purpose.
He wanted to go a little bit further before revealing himself was what he thought, but he couldn't help it until the end.
Gu Jiao's little face was completely black.
An Junwang said, "I am your patient, and you are my physician. You can't hit me."
Gu Jiao, clenching her small fists, tried her best to control her temper. She ignored him, turned around and walked away!
An Junwang stepped forward to keep up.
By this time, the parade had gone far, and the street over here was tranquil again.
The two people appeared in tandem.
Zhuang Yuexi rushed over while holding up her skirt a bit, took An Junwang’s arm and said, "Big brother! What just happened?"
"It's fine, get in the carriage." An Junwang told her.
"But ..."
Zhuang Yuexi wanted to know what happened right here and right now, but An Junwang raised his hand and gently patted her head.
Zhuang Yuexi's heart melted in an instant. Taking his big brother's hand, she got into the carriage obediently.
Before leaving, An Junwang smiled and glanced at Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang, "See you another day, Young Miss Gu."
Gu Jiao:“…”
Xiao Liulang:“…”
The carriage went away, leaving only Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao on an empty corner of the street, and the atmosphere quickly turned very awkward.
Gu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "If I say I grabbed the wrong person, would you believe me?"
Xiao Liulang: "Heh."
Okay, her husband was truly very angry! The kind that couldn’t be coaxed!
On the way back, no one said a word.
Gu Jiao was mainly criticizing herself inwardly all the way. How could she grab the wrong person and let her husband wait for her in the cold wind for so long?
Xiao Liulang was truly sulking. The more she didn’t talk, the angrier he felt.
But he couldn’t tell what exactly he was angry about!
When he finally crossed the threshold, he asked, "What did he mean by seeing you another day?"
Gu Jiao sighed and said, "He is a patient of the medical hall, and will come for a re-examination in a few days."
Look at that. There was still a physician-patient relationship!
Xiao Liulang clenched his fists and said with his usual expression, "What's wrong with him?"
Gu Jiao replied, "It’s the patient's privacy. I can't tell you."
Very good, they also had their own little secret together.
“JiaoJiao~”
Little Jing Kong poked out his small head from the door of the west room.
Immediately, Gu Jiao had no time to gossip with Xiao Liulang about An Junwang. At this hour, Little Jing Kong was still awake. It was obvious that he had crawled out of bed.
Gu Jiao went over and picked up the little guy. She put the fried fruits on the table, held his cold little feet in her hands, and tucked him into the quilt, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Little Jing Kong was wrapped up tightly, motionless, like an obedient silkworm baby, "Waiting for JiaoJiao."
Gu Jiao said, "I wasn’t able to buy candied haws, only fried fruits. Would you like to try one?"
"En!" Little Jing Kong nodded obediently.
Gu Jiao took a piece of fried fruit and fed it to him. His mouth was full of oil, and he was so satiated that his eyes narrowed.
"I want to eat more." He said.
"You shouldn’t eat any more at this hour." Gu Jiao poured a cup of hot water for him to rinse his mouth. "Go to sleep and eat more tomorrow."
Little Jing Kong was an obedient child. Soon, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
After washing himself up, Xiao Liulang lay down beside the little one, only to toss and turn on the bed restlessly.
When he finally fell asleep, he had a dream.
The dream was fleeting and chaotic. Finally, he got rid of the huge shackles in his heart and opened his eyes to find himself back in the Marquis Xuanping Estate.
Lying on a strange yet familiar bed, he saw a strange yet familiar sight.
There were servants standing in the room, waiting upon him, but he hadn’t seen them for so long that he could no longer remember their names.
Princess Xinyang, wearing a goose-patterned yellow dress, came in with a gentle expression, "Ah Heng, you're awake!"
He looked at Princess Xinyang stupefied. Princess Xinyang sat down on the side of his bed, raised her hand and touched his forehead, wondering, "What's the matter? Why are you looking at your mother like this? Don't you recognize your mother?"
Seeing him like that, she was anxious to death at once, rushing outside and shouting, "Physician! Quickly get an imperial physician!"
The imperial physician arrived soon, checked his pulse and examined his body, and said to Princess Xinyang, "Reporting to Princess, Little Marquis is fine. He must have been frightened greatly, so he is in this state."
Princess Xinyang looked worried, "Ah Heng, Ah Heng, are you alright? Don't scare me. I told you not to take the palace exam. What's good about the palace exam? If you want to be an official, mother will help you. You don't need to participate in the imperial examination!"
“Palace exam?” He stared blankly at a roomful of people, "Was the palace exam over already?"
Princess Xinyang said, "That’s right, you had a conflict with someone during the palace exam. You accidentally fell down and have been in a coma for several days now."
The fire accident four years ago didn’t happen, and he had grown up safely until now.
"What about JiaoJiao?" He asked.
"Who is JiaoJiao?" Princess Xinyang asked, "You'll be married to Linlang soon. Don't see any other girls outside. Linlang will be sad."
“JiaoJiao.” He lifted the quilt and got down the bed.
"My legs..." He looked at his legs which could walk around without any injuries and was left in disbelief.
Right, without the fire accident, of course, he wouldn’t end up wandering among the common people and wouldn’t get that injury.
Princess Xinyang cried out, "Put on some more clothes, it's cold outside!"
He quickly made his way to Bishui Alley and came to his and JiaoJiao’s home. However, when he pushed open the courtyard gate, there was no one inside.
His heart sank.
He knocked at Old Chief's courtyard gate.
It wasn’t Old Chief who opened the door, but an unfamiliar man.
He went to Uncle Zhao's house next, "Uncle Zhao, it's me, Liulang!"
Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao looked at him in doubt, "Who are you?"
He went to another neighbor, "Aunt Zhang, it's me! I'm Liulang!"
Aunt Zhang's face was filled with puzzlement.
He had never been here. No one knew him.
He felt cold all over.
Then, he remembered the medical hall. He rushed over without delay.
Miraculous Hands Hall was still here, but no one in Miraculous Hands Hall knew him.
Finally, he saw the familiar little figure in the lobby.
He walked quickly towards her and was about to call her JiaoJiao, but before he could do so, she gave him a very unfamiliar look and said to another physician on the side, "A patient has come. Please receive him."
She walked past him and never looked back.
An unspeakable suffocation suddenly welled up in his heart, as if something was choking his heart.
It was truly a very unpleasant feeling, causing him to wake up abruptly.
Only then did he find out that it was just a dream.
