Eyes facing each other.
For a while, no one spoke in the room, except Dr. Yue who was busy finishing things.
The needles on Xu Jian's legs have been removed. Without those coverings, the condition of the skin becomes more obvious.
Green and purple, the dots are connected into pieces.
Lin Yunyan walked over and sat down, her eyes focused on that leg, and she lightly pursed her lower lip.
Doctor Yue didn't let Xu Jian tidy up his clothes, but still just brought a blanket to cover him.
This is the first time he has met the Princess of Ning'an today. He is not familiar with her temperament and personality, but he is an old doctor who knows many things well, and he is not willing to be a glowing candle here. .
After all, Mrs. Xu avoided it.
There is no way to tighten the needles, now...
"Same as usual," he said to Xu Jian, "just lie down and rest for a while, and then move again when your legs feel better."
After saying this, Doctor Yue bowed to the two of them, picked up his medicine box and walked out.
When he walked out of the house, he thoughtfully closed the door again.
Then, he glanced at Shen Chen standing outside, chuckled, and said in a low voice: "I'll sit in the east chamber for a while. If you need anything, just call. It's okay... I guess it's okay."
When Shen Chen heard this, he also smiled.
The room was no longer ventilated, and the sticky, muggy air came back bit by bit.
Lin Yunyan asked: "Is it like this every day? Inject an acupuncture, then take it slow?"
"Absolutely," Xu Jian said, knowing that she was concerned, "If you are not too strong, you need to slow down for a quarter of an hour or two."
Perhaps it was even more uncomfortable when the needle was withdrawn, but his voice was still hoarse, showing a hint of exhaustion.
Lin Yunyan asked: "Didn't you just say you were sleepy? Why don't you just sleep a little longer?"
"It's not necessary," Xu Jian raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, "It's inconvenient for you to come over here. If you have something to do, you better tell me something. I'll go to bed later."
Lin Yunyan said nothing, just looking at him with her lips pursed.
Why go to bed later?
If I could fall asleep later, I wouldn't be in such a tiring state.
Xu Jian looked at her, and without Lin Yunyan saying anything, he knew that the little princess must be angry, and he could think of many reasons why.
Insisting on talking about things now is actually adding fuel to the fire.
If a large spoonful of hot oil is poured on it, the little princess will not fall out. She will explain the matter to him carefully and thoroughly, settle everything, and then go back to Chengyi's house. This fire will not burn the house. Who is in it, I have been holding it in my heart, and Slasla is smoking.
How long it will take, I can't tell.
After all, he couldn't see each other on weekdays, and it was impossible for him to visit the uncle's house in his current situation. Maybe it would be postponed until the day of the wedding. When he raised his hijab, he looked at a face that had been angry for months.
Not worth it.
It's really not worth getting angry like that, and it's not worth ruining a good marriage.
Thinking of this, Xu Jian moved slightly.
He didn't dare to move his legs, and he couldn't move now, so he tried to find a more comfortable seat with his upper body on the couch and closed his eyes again.
"It's up to you," he said softly, "I'll take a nap. If you feel the room is stuffy, go outside for some fresh air."
After saying this, Xu Jian fell silent.
Lin Yunyan's shoulders relaxed: "You sleep on your own."
After she finished speaking, it didn't take long for her to notice that Xu Jian's breathing was much calmer.
She sighed secretly.
In fact, she could see that Xu Jian was not in pain that kept him awake, but that he was tense and unrelaxed, making it difficult for him to sleep.
At this moment, maybe he didn't want her to be annoyed, or maybe he was getting used to her presence, so he wasn't so tense and felt much more tired.
However, such an airtight house, with the weather not cooling yet, is indeed not the place to sleep soundly.
Not long after sleeping, there was another layer of sweat on Xu Jian's forehead. It was probably from pain or boredom.
Lin Yunyan pinched the handkerchief in her sleeve.
The veil was already dripping with sweat.
Even if you wipe it, it will be in vain.
She stood up gently, walked around the screen, went to the other side of the room to look, and took a clean handkerchief from the shelf.
The movement of her hand was light and the movement was small. Lin Yunyan printed Xu Jian's forehead and looked at his hand again.
She remembered that Xu Jian's hands were also covered in sweat.
However, wiping hands is different from printing forehead. With Xu Jian's vigilance, he might wake up at the slightest movement.
Lin Yunyan simply stayed still and rested for a while. Listening to the noisy chirping of cicadas, her heart felt calmer than many times.
Xu Jian just dozed for a while, and after a quarter of an hour, she opened her eyes.
Lin Yunyan handed him the handkerchief and asked him to wipe the sweat from his hands and neck.
Xu Jian was a little apprehensive, so she spoke more casually, with just two words: "What about you?"
After asking, Lin Yunyan's face turned red.
Her skin is white, like mutton-fat jade, and the slightest hint of red is particularly noticeable.
"Me what?" she asked.
Xu Jian came to her senses at this time and smiled to herself: "It's nothing."
If he didn't recruit her, she wouldn't have sweat all over her neck before.
You can't ask in detail about this matter. If you ask too much, your rest will be in vain.
Xu Jian simply talked to her about business: "I think it's okay for Dr. Yue to treat the injury. It's only been a little severe these few days, but it will slowly get better after a while."
After hearing this, Lin Yunyan asked again: "You didn't plan to take good care of me at first, but now it seems that you are more cooperative than I thought."
"It's not that I don't plan to treat it well," Xu Jian said, "No matter how much treatment is given, it will never be the same as when it was not injured. I know this, the doctor knows it, and you know it in your heart.
I originally thought that since the difference is not big, there is no need to worry too much. If the tossing goes in the wrong direction, it will be even more troublesome.
But now it seems that it's okay. "
Lin Yunyan responded in a low voice.
She knew what Xu Jian meant by "Xing", which was the Thousand-step Corridor and the Imperial Study Room.
When I was injured, the specific reasons were suppressed. There were many rumors, but there was no certainty.
Now we are healing our wounds and bringing out the old things again. Although everything is still foggy, those who have taken the lead have a clear idea.
The lamp was shining and waving, and the fog slowly dispersed.
This is also the reason why Lin Yunyan came to Fuguogongfu today. After suffering, the benefits must be received.
Reason being, Lin Yunyan was also worried about Xu Jian's injury from the bottom of her heart.
"It hurts like this, is it really okay?" As she said that, she turned her head and looked towards the door.
Knowing that Shen Chen was guarding outside, Lin Yunyan still lowered her voice and even moved closer to the couch: "Although he has been cured for a long time, he is not a doctor at all. Are you sure this treatment is feasible?"
Human feelings are often unreliable.
In the past, when Xu Jian's injury worsened, they also visited many doctors, and there were times when they felt that the treatment was effective.
But maybe it was the "effectiveness" that deceived Xu Jian. By the time his body realized it was ineffective or even worse, it was already too late.
What about this time?
Xu Jian glanced at his right leg, thought for a moment, and said, "I didn't lie to you before. Even though it looked fierce, it was actually not bad. Dr. Yue, or Dr. Zhang, I want to give it a try."
Now that he has said this, Xu Jianshao has to tell Lin Yunyan about his communication with Dr. Zhang.
His origin, the situation in Prince Jin's Mansion, various speculations and inferences.
Lin Yunyan listened carefully and told him some of her own opinions.
As I talked, my heart was ups and downs, with mixed feelings.
She knew that Xu Jian was in a difficult situation, and the decision to treat her injury was particularly difficult for Xu Jian.
Xu Jian told her before that he had adapted to his leg injury. Regardless of whether it was to comfort her, starting to treat it was a gamble.
If he wins the bet, he will recover a little. If he loses the bet, he will have to sit in a wheelchair again.
This decision is really not easy to make.
But if you risk everything and gain less, this deal is really not worth it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan asked: "Sir, do you want to fan the flames again?"
"September is not far away." Xu Jian said.
He said it simply and his meaning was clear.
In late September, the death anniversary of the late Empress Xia, everyone knew that Li Shao would definitely be able to walk out of the East Palace before then.
"I went to see him before," Xu Jian said after considering, "He was holding his breath, but he wasn't that crazy yet."
Li Shao still needs a little stimulation.
Lin Yunyan nodded slightly.
Not that crazy, because I am confident.
It is indeed not a decent thing for the dignified prince to be grounded, but Li Shao has been greatly embarrassed this time, so being grounded is better than facing the messy things in Chen Mi Hutong.
The Holy Spirit punished him, but not to the point of breaking his bones.
After the ban was lifted, apart from An Yibo's upright temper, no other nobles or censors would casually reveal the bad things and scold Li Shao in front of them.
Unless Li Shao commits another serious crime, the old and new accounts will be brought out together.
The Holy One knows this, and Li Shao himself knows it even better.
Especially with the "anniversary of death" right in front of him, he was very aware of the time he would be banned.
If you know it, you won’t be afraid.
If you are not afraid, how can you go crazy?
Unless he can't get out, he can't lift the restraint before the death anniversary of the late Queen. That's how a bucket of ice water in the cold winter can make Li Shao confused.
Xu Jian wanted to take advantage of his leg injury, but he alone was not enough, so Lin Yunyan needed to visit.
After the visit, she had no idea that she could not go directly to the Imperial Study Room, and had to go to the Cining Palace.
She had to cry.
She is not afraid of crying, but she is worried about the Queen Mother.
She could use the queen's chicken feathers as arrows, but she couldn't bear to stab the queen in the heart.
How could Xu Jian not know Lin Yunyan's concerns?
But this matter cannot be persuaded. Even if he can tell ten thousand reasons, it is just "high and superior".
He just moved his fingers and landed on the back of Lin Yunyan's hand.
Lin Yunyan didn't seem to notice, she lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "I came here today, so I naturally figured it out."
She didn't want her to be sad, nor did she want her to have a conflict with the Holy One because of her, but she could only rely on her.
It was just like what the Empress Dowager said when Li Shao went to Cining Palace to deliberately ask for a drink when she changed wine.
"The Yi family will definitely go ahead of him. When that happens, he will cause trouble for you. Where will you bring in reinforcements?"
The empress dowager couldn't worry about her.
What the Empress Dowager was most unwilling to do must be the moment when she was lying underground and could not be her rescuer.
When she was alive, the empress could grieve for her, but when she was gone, there would be no joy, sweetness or bitterness left.
She must live well and survive for a long time, only then can she really put the Queen Mother's heart at ease.
"I will go to Cining Palace later," Lin Yunyan's voice became sore, "I know how to tell the queen."
His words of comfort were useless, so Xu Jian simply held Lin Yunyan's hand again.
If you are sweating, just be sweating.
After everything was discussed, Xu Jian called Shen Chen.
When Shen Chen came in from outside and saw their master holding the princess's hand, he lowered his eyes again and pretended not to notice. After receiving the order, he left to do the work.
Xu Jian asked him to invite Xu Miao.
Xu Miao deliberately left a place for him to talk to Lin Yunyan for a while. If he didn't invite her here, he wouldn't come.
While waiting, the two casually chatted about trivial matters. It wasn't until they heard the footsteps outside that Lin Yunyan twitched her hand.
Xu Jian glanced at her and slowly let go.
Lin Yunyan stood up and greeted Xu Miao who came in.
Xu Miao glanced at the handkerchief hanging beside the couch, and then looked at Xu Jian seriously.
I've wiped it, but I can't stand the sweltering heat, sweat is still dripping on my forehead and neck, and there are still blue marks under my eyes.
But his eyes were bright and he looked much better than before.
really.
Xu Miao glanced at Lin Yunyan again.
This is the benefit of having someone in your heart. As long as this person stays with you and talks for a while, you can overcome thorns and thorns, and you can feel better no matter how painful or tired you are.
It's a pity that this sweetheart is not yet close to him.
The princess hasn't married yet.
If they are already married, it will be more useful to accompany him when he is being treated every day than to be with her.
Although it was an old injury, the doctor said that the injury should be treated as early as possible, and it would be more difficult to treat it in winter. Otherwise, Xu Miao originally wanted to persuade her to postpone it until after marriage.
"Have you recovered?" Xu Miao asked Xu Jian, "It's almost calmed down. Just get up and tidy up. If you have anything to say, I'll tell you later. It's still too stuffy here. Don't worry, the princess is still stuffy."
Xu Jian responded.
After Lin Yunyan heard this, she followed Xu Miao out first.
It did feel much cooler outside. Lin Yunyan supported Xu Miao and stood on the porch, listening to the sound of cicadas.
She looked at Xu Miao and said softly, "You look very tired."
Xu Miao raised her hand and pressed it on her face, and said with a smile: "Is it obvious? I also put on a lot of powder today, and it seems that I didn't cover it."
Lin Yunyan chuckled.
"To be honest, Princess, A Jian's leg injury has become a worry for me," Xu Miao sighed, "I don't know why, I'm just afraid of his injury."
Lin Yunyan responded quietly.
Human nature.
"I often have weird nightmares. I have dreamed about them many times," Xu Miao said, her voice trembling. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her heartbeat. "I dreamed about A Jian sitting in a wheelchair... …”
Normally, she shouldn't have said these words to Lin Yunyan. She had only told Aunt Xia, but she was so uneasy at the moment that she wanted to tell Lin Yunyan.
Lin Yunyan did not interrupt her and listened carefully.
Xu Miao spoke very slowly, with red eyes and tears at the end: "Sitting in a wheelchair, having a knife on my leg, using a cane, I have dreamed of various scenes and A Jian of different ages. The only thing that remains the same is The thing is, his leg is injured..."
Lin Yunyan's breathing stagnated.
They were all dreams, those were Mrs. Xu's dreams, but she caught a thin line from those dreams.
Various scenes, Mrs. Xu of different ages, the only thing that remains the same is that she is crazy.
The sound of autumn cicadas pours in, sad and lonely.
Lin Yunyan remembered what Xu Jian said.
"Sooner or later she will go crazy."
