The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 562

Of course Xiao Yinxiu was not able to go in. The small Buddhist courtyard was still guarded by two guards. When she walked in front of them, the two guards came forward to salute. She only dared to ask, "How is the old lady now?"

The guard shook his head. "I am just guarding the gate. Nanny Tao and the others are taking care of the inside. I believe the old lady is fine. She hasn't called Doctor Zhao for the past two months."

Doctor Zhao?

Yup!

There was also Doctor Zhao, so Xiao Yinxiu made a few perfunctory remarks and took Shuangyue and Aunt Chu for a walk with a lantern. "My uncle is really cruel. This small Buddhist temple is surrounded like an iron barrel. There is not even a dog hole."

Shimotsuki shuddered.

Fortunately, there was no such thing, otherwise she would have to crawl through this dog hole. But the next moment, Shuangyue felt that she could not underestimate her wife's ability, so she went straight to where Doctor Zhao lived outside the second gate.

At three o'clock in the night, Shuangyue knocked on Doctor Zhao's door, but did not dare to say anything.

Doctor Zhao put on his robe and lit the lamp. When he opened the door and saw Shuangyue, he thought that the Crown Prince's wife was not feeling well, or that Aunt Qiao was not feeling well. He had also given Aunt Qiao acupuncture in the morning, so it shouldn't be a problem.

The next moment, Shuangyue gave up half of her body, and Xiao Yinxiu supported Aunt Chu and stood in the courtyard.

He put on his clothes immediately and went out. "Madam, do you have any instructions?" Xiao Yinxiu hesitated for a moment. "Doctor Zhao, maybe we can talk inside the house?"

"This……"

Doctor Zhao had only a little medicine boy who did odd jobs with him, and no family members around. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, my room is messy, and I'm afraid it would be impolite to entertain guests."

"It's only a few words."

Xiao Yinxiu walked towards Doctor Zhao's house. He was currently staying at the government mansion. Although the food and accommodation were quite good, there were also several other talented and down-and-out people from other places who came here because of his reputation living in the small courtyard.

Doctor Zhao was afraid that others would see him and misunderstand him.

But Xiao Yinxiu didn't care about all this, and Shuangyue pushed the door open. Doctor Zhao thought to himself, I hope it's not a serious matter.

Thinking of this, he sighed slightly, looked around, saw dark clouds covering the moon, and the candles in the neighboring houses had gone out, so he followed him in.

The two of them took their seats according to their rank, and Xiao Yinxiu got straight to the point, "I wonder if Doctor Zhao has visited the old lady recently?"

what!

Doctor Zhao felt relieved, as long as it was not about the filth in the harem and the concubine Qiao in the prince's room. Hearing that it was about the old lady, Doctor Zhao reported it truthfully.

"The old lady is doing well. She hasn't had any headaches or fevers since the beginning of July. The two maids inside asked the fourth young master to come to my place and prepare three doses of medicine for her. They are all for regulating the stomach and intestines."

"Shiro?"

Doctor Zhao nodded, "I originally reported this to the eldest young master's wife, but she asked the maids to find the fourth young master, and he brought him to me."

Xiao Yinxiu's sleeves and palms were all sweaty. "Qi Yueniang, you really have some abilities. You didn't look for the prince, but for Silang. Everyone knows that Silang was cruel and ruthless to his own mother. From this point of view, her plan might fail.

"The old lady is now——"

"Don't worry, Madam, there should be no problem. In May and June, it is rainy and hot, and I often go to the small Buddhist temple. The old lady is in good health, her face is rosy, her voice is loud, and her eyes are bright. To be honest, at the old lady's age, there are few people with such a strong body as her."

Especially after being detained for a long time, the old lady could still slam the table and kick the stool, and the maids in front of her were even weaker than her.

Xiao Yinxiu sighed, "It's a pity that my father is so hard-hearted that we, his daughter-in-law, cannot show our filial piety to the old lady. I just hope that Doctor Zhao will visit the old lady more often. If there is anything wrong, please let me know."

Doctor Zhao should agree.

The conversation cooled down for a moment. Xiao Yinxiu pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "Doctor Zhao, to be honest, the old lady's birthday is at the end of August. I can't reunite with her now. If Doctor Zhao comes in, can you help me bring some birthday gifts?"

Doctor Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he hesitated, "Madam, you don't know that when I enter, I am not allowed to bring personal belongings into the medicine box. Actually, if Madam has the intention, she can just tell the prince."

After all, he is my biological son.

"My Lord, I am very busy with affairs and rarely see people. That's why I came to ask Doctor Zhao a question..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a palm-sized cloth bag from her sleeve and said, "I heard that things have been going on in your hometown, Doctor Zhao, recently. I didn't know about it before, but now that I've heard about it, I'd like to express my gratitude to you."

Doctor Zhao knew what was in the cloth bag without even looking.

He wanted to refuse, but Xiao Yinxiu shook his head and said, "It's just an ordinary thing." After that, he called Shuangyue and went out. Doctor Zhao grabbed the cloth bag and chased after him to return it.

But Xiao Yinxiu turned around to stop him, "Doctor Zhao, if you can't bring the birthday gift in, why don't you take a message for me, saying that the fourth brother is still single and that the fourth brother's wife has been taking medicine for days but it doesn't work, what should I do?"

"Madam, this subordinate..."

Doctor Zhao was in a dilemma. "In the past, when we entered the palace, apart from taking the pulse and examining the patient, we were not allowed to say anything else. The maids and servants had to obey the master's strict orders—"

Xiao Yinxiu smiled happily, "Doctor Zhao has his own way. There are only three brothers and one sister in this mansion. The sister came out this morning. You went to see her. It's hard to predict the future of a little girl who is not even born yet, even if she is well-dressed and well-fed."

She gave earnest advice, and was rarely so gentle and kind.

"Speaking of which, father favored the third and fourth sons the most, but the third son was so stubborn that he secretly converted to Buddhism, and it was difficult for him to get married and have children. Only the fourth son was young, but his body... I don't need to tell you, but Doctor Zhao, you are an expert and you know it. After so many years, he has no children. What should he do?"

Doctor Zhao sighed, "Young Madam is still young. If she takes some more time to recover, there should be a turn for the better."

"Doctor Zhao!"

Xiao Yinxiu slightly emphasized her tone, "There's no need to say anything like this to fool the couple of the fourth family. After the old lady was imprisoned, the thing she was most worried about was the issue of the fourth family's heir. I dreamed of her crying all night. As a child, my heart aches when I think of a living person coming to me in my dreams."

Mentioning this nonsense, Xiao Yinxiu took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Doctor Zhao also has parents and children. If it came to my old lady's situation, how could she not say something?"

Doctor Zhao lowered his head and said, "The Crown Prince's wife is very filial, but if I don't obey your order, I can't enter. I haven't seen the small Buddhist temple for more than a month, and I'm afraid I will fail the Madam's trust."

"No problem, no matter when, just bring a message."

After Xiao Yinxiu left, Doctor Zhao opened the cloth bag by candlelight and was shocked. He thought it was just two silver ingots, but they were actually gleaming with gold, which was really dazzling!

All this gold, just to bring a message...
