He and Su Lan were from the same hometown in Longxi. They had always had a good relationship in Prince Yan's Mansion in Beijing and talked about everything.
They have a relationship of brother and sister in private and have taken care of each other for decades.
Therefore, when Xiuying encountered several critical illnesses and was about to reach King Yama, Zhou Ping asked Su Lan to treat her.
Su Lan had good medicine and excellent medical skills, so he just dragged this little girl back from the entrance of Yama Hall.
"Who is this person entrusted to you? Can you tell Sister Lan?"
Su Lan asked.
She knew that Zhou Ping was a very cautious and well-behaved person. Without a special relationship, it would be difficult for him to do such an outrageous thing.
"He...he is my mother's nephew, the eldest son of Xu Mansion."
Zhou Ping had no choice but to tell the truth, but it was inconvenient to tell the other party's full name.
taboo.
"What?"
Su Lan turned pale with astonishment, and it took her a while to react, "Are you talking about the young man Zhan Shi in the East Palace Zhan Shi's Mansion, the eldest son of Wei Guogong?"
"That's right, he was the one who found me."
Zhou Ping nodded affirmatively, "Sister Lan must also find it unbelievable. I feel the same way. I still don't understand why."
"But when people come to my door in person in a serious matter, I can't refuse."
"This girl is really good in all aspects."
"But if that's the case, then why did she and Wang Jinghong become rivals?"
Sulan immediately raised a very sensitive question.
"I was confused about this at first."
"But I heard from the eunuchs in the internal lawsuit that this incident was planned and forced by Wang Jinghong. So far, this girl has only accompanied her to have a meal or something, and has not slept with her...doing those outrageous things."
Zhou Ping replied truthfully.
Oh, I see.
Su Lan nodded when he heard this, seeming to understand a little more.
"Then why does the eldest son of the Xu family... take such good care of her?"
"Although this girl is outstanding in all aspects, she is not as slutty as a fish and a wild goose. Besides, she is still a maid of the guilty family, and her status is despicable."
Facing Su Lan's doubts, Zhou Ping also existed.
It's just that he couldn't ask Xu Qin directly.
"I'm thinking about it, this matter is not simple, it's not like an ordinary relationship between a man and a woman. I don't think the prince has fallen in love with this little girl, he just sympathizes with her."
"Perhaps, he is also entrusted by others and is loyal to others."
Sulan nodded in agreement after hearing this.
"Well, I've figured this out. Since you promised the crown prince, let's take care of this little girl."
"Don't worry, she was soaked in the rain and cold just like the last few times, so it won't be a problem. After drinking a few of my herbs, she will be able to get out of bed this morning."
"That's good. I'd like to thank Sister Lan."
Zhou Ping bowed to Su Lan to thank him, then took out a bundle of silk cloth from his wide sleeves and handed it over respectfully with both hands.
"It will get hot in a month or two. This is the ice silk brocade that Siam just sent as tribute. It would be best to use it to make sweat towels."
Ice silkworm brocade is much more valuable than gold.
Use it as lining in summer, it will not cause sweating on the skin, and it will be cool and comfortable.
Because there are not many of them, they are usually used to make undergarments for favored concubines, emperors, empresses, and mistresses of the East Palace.
Although Su Lan is a fifth-grade female imperial medical officer, she has never touched this kind of ice silkworm brocade with her own hands, let alone used it herself.
"Okay, sister, I'll accept it. You can leave first, so as not to be seen by others."
She took the ice silkworm brocade and whispered.
Of course Zhou Ping understands.
He slightly arched his hands, turned around and left quickly.
Sulan waited for a while and then walked to her hospital room.
Night falls.
When Su Lan walked to the door of the hospital courtyard, she saw Xiao Anzi emerging from under the tree on the roadside carrying a food basket.
"I've met Aunt Su. Here are the braised pork and two dishes for you."
Sulan didn't take it immediately, and asked with a straight face:
"Why don't you go in? Just squat under the tree and wait quietly like a thief. You and..."
She wanted to say that you and Zhou Ping have the same virtue.
But she didn't say this.
Why tell this to a junior? Besides, there are some secrets involved.
"I...I want to turn back right away. The Crown Princess will look for me later."
This little guy is obviously lying.
When he brought things to the little girl, he always went straight in and out. When did he pass through her hands?
Besides, the little girl is in the house.
"You little guy are lying again. The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince are having dinner at this time. What do they want from you?"
"Say, why don't you just go into the house?"
"I...I don't want to see her."
Xiao Anzi lowered his head, arrogant like a lazy person.
"Why?"
"I...she and the prince..."
Su Lan has a powerful mouth, and she often makes shocking remarks and pursues her.
I see.
This little Anzi is angry with the little girl and cares about her having sex with Wang Jinghong.
"Hmph...where's my sworn sister?"
"I will accept these things first, but Xiao Anzi, that girl is protected by a big shot in the court."
"You must not think wildly. I don't need to say more about what to do."
In the twilight, Xiao Anzi's face was like yellow wax, and his eyes were like falling stars, a bit bleak.
He lowered his head a little deeper, bent down and took a few steps back, returning to his usual attitude of serving others.
Then, he bowed and bowed politely, saying:
"Auntie is worried, little Anzi, be careful not to offend."
Su Lan has stayed in the palace for a long time, and naturally knows that eunuchs never show closeness to others.
One is humble and has a different status.
The second is physical disability, low self-esteem and taboo.
I often see Xiao Anzi bowing and waiting for others, and I am used to it.
But today, when I suddenly saw him being so forbearing, I actually felt a little sad in my heart.
Sigh... After all, she watched the child grow up, sighed secretly, turned around, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked into her own small courtyard.
Looking up, there are herbs drying all over the yard.
This scene made Su Lan very excited.
I originally thought that it had been raining heavily for several days and that the herbs would become wet again.
It was finally sunny today, but she didn't have time to move it out to dry during the day.
Now it's better, Xiaoya is smart, she thought of helping to dry it.
Su Lan ran to the herb shelf she built by herself, rubbed a handful of dried Gynostemma pentaphylla, Houttuynia cordata and other medicinal materials, and lowered her head to smell them.
Well, no musty smell.
She nodded with satisfaction.
The long stems of herbs picked out from the table under the eaves were piled high into a small hill.
It was obvious that the little girl did this too.
Xiuying was sweeping the floor in the room. She looked up and saw Sulan standing at the door, staring at the rhizomes selected from the herbs, and hurriedly said:
"Auntie, you are back, these..."
"Did you pick these out?"
"Well, when I have nothing to do, I went through the herbs in the yard."
Her voice became a little soft due to timidity, and the last note was almost inaudible.
She was afraid that Su Lan would blame her for turning over the medicinal materials.
These are taboos for doctors.
"You...know about herbal medicine?"
Sulan was very surprised and looked at it.
Xiuying nodded slowly and said:
"My grandpa is from Sanqu, and everyone in the family practices medicine. My family has opened several herbal medicine halls. My mother has been a barefoot doctor since she was a child, so I have learned some medicine since I was a child."
Su Lan was immediately surprised, "What is your grandfather's family name?"
"The last name is Yang."
Xiuying still told the truth.
