Chapter 564 Use Your Brain

Yu Jiao came back to her senses and spoke out to stop him, "I'm fine, you don't have to keep him busy."

The servant had hurried out of the house to get something as Gu Yun had instructed.

Gu Yun looked at her red and swollen little hands and felt that the servant's pace was too slow. It would be better if he was not injured.

He was not a person who enjoyed pleasure. He went to Lingnan with his father when he was young and suffered all kinds of hardships in the military camp. In the past few years since he returned to Beijing, Gu Yun never indulged in enjoyment. He was afraid that he would be spoiled by the extravagance and wealth of the capital, so he never lit the floor heating in his bedroom in winter.

At this moment, Gu Yun wished that the floor heating in the room could be as warm as an April day. He pulled up the outer robe draped over the bed and handed it to Yu Jiao, "Put it on first."

After Yu Jiao took it, she placed it on the bedside and said with difficulty, "Gu Yun, I'm not that fragile. You should take care of yourself more."

She placed her fingers on Gu Yun's wrist again, "I sneaked out of the mansion and can't stay for long." She said softly, "Can you let me see the injuries on your body?"

Gu Yun curled her fingers slightly, wanting to hold the cold hands on his wrists tightly to warm them up, but she could only try her best to restrain this impulse.

"The wound is a little hidden, so it's not easy for you to check it." Gu Yun said awkwardly, "Don't try to fool me by saying that you are a doctor and there are only patients in medical practice, regardless of gender. Anyway, I won't let you check it."

Yu Jiao's eyes fell on Gu Yun's prone lower body. Of course, she couldn't see anything through the quilt. The cane should have hit his buttocks. Only then did she understand why Gu Yun refused to let her see his injury.

After feeling Gu Yun's pulse, Yu Jiao felt a little relieved. Gu Yun was in good health and the injuries on his body had not caused any serious damage.

The corners of her lips curved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face. "Well, I won't look at it. Did the doctor who treated you say that your injuries were not related to your muscles and bones? Bring me the medicine he used so I can take a look."

Gu Yun pointed to several bottles and jars on the table and cabinet in the room, "The medicines are all there. I have thick skin and flesh, and my bones are not injured. I am really fine, don't worry."

Yu Jiao said nothing, walked to the table, poured the powder from each medicine bottle into her palm, smelled it carefully, and tasted it on the tip of her tongue to identify the ingredients.

She knew even without Gu Yun saying it that if such a heavy stick hit her buttocks, it would definitely tear her skin apart.

He said it easily, even if his muscles and bones were not injured, the flesh on his buttocks would fall off piece by piece after using the medicine, and the healing process would be very uncomfortable.

Several bottles contained healing medicines that could stop bleeding, promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and relieve pain. They were made from the finest medicinal materials. The last jade jar was a paste. Yu Jiao twisted it with her fingertips and found borneol powder inside. Although it was toxic, it was obviously carefully prepared and was a good medicine for removing dead tissue and promoting the growth of new flesh.

These medicines are all top-notch. Even if Yu Jiao mixes other medicines, they won't be much better than this. She said, "I'll prescribe a prescription for you to take internally."

Gu Yun lay on the bed, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Okay."

"The paper and pen are on the desk," he reminded again.

Calcined oyster, deer antler glue, processed Polygonum multiflorum, and Radix Trichosanthis are all medicines that can be taken internally to remove dead tissue and promote tissue regeneration. Gu Yun's injuries should heal faster with both internal and external application.

Yu Jiao had just finished writing the prescription when the servant who had just gone out came back with a tray of clothes in his hand, and another servant was holding a charcoal basin, and behind them was the wife of Marquis Annan.

Yu Jiao stood up and saluted, "Meet Madam Hou."

Madam Annan helped her up with a smile, "It's so cold, and you're still thinking about Gu Yun and making this trip."

Feeling Yu Jiao's cold hands, Lady Annan took the hand warmer from the servant and stuffed it into Yu Jiao's hands. She didn't ask why she was dressed like a maid and wore such thin clothes. She just said, "Hold it and warm yourself up."

Madam Liu had come to the mansion to make it clear that she had no intention of marrying into the Annan Marquis's family. The fact that Yu Jiao could come here at this time obviously meant that she had sneaked out.

Madam Annan said to the two servants, "Put down your things first and go out."

After the two servants left, Lady Annan took the clothes on the tray and handed them to Yu Jiao and Bai Lu, "These are new jackets and skirts that have never been worn. Go to the compartment and change into them quickly to avoid catching a cold."

Yu Jiao shook her head and said, "Madam, that's not necessary. I have to go back home now." She had sneaked out, and if she changed her clothes, she would be recognized by the gatekeeper when she returned.

Gu Yun lay on the bed and said anxiously, "Why not? What if you fall ill when you go back?"

The wife of the Marquis of Annan guessed Yu Jiao's concerns, so she put down the lacquer tray in her hand and took out two pairs of shoes and socks from the tray. "It's snowing outside, your shoes and socks will get wet and your feet will freeze. You don't have to change your clothes. Change your shoes. They don't stand out, so no one will notice."

Yu Jiao did not refuse. She took the shoes and socks and went to the cubicle with Bai Lu to change into them.

Both pairs of shoes and socks fit perfectly. Yu Jiao knew that this was no coincidence. The wife of Marquis Annan must be a very meticulous person.

Outside, Gu Yun whispered to Lady Annan, "Mother, how could you just ask her to change her shoes? She should also change her jacket and dress. Didn't you see that her clothes are very thin?"

Mrs. Annan had a headache and pinched his face lightly, "You should use your brain when you care about others."
