Chapter 578: Today’s harvest is really good
Xie Yingmian was shocked.
The female official beside Aunt Yu!
Today’s harvest is really good.
They found Yan Lingyue, who was hiding deeper than a mouse, and also found the female official beside Yu Ma.
Yan Lingyue said, "Madame Yu is a favorite of the Queen Mother, and holds a very special status. Everyone in Changle Palace is saying that Madame Yu is the true master of Changle Palace, and that the Queen Mother is just a puppet."
"Wutong, oh, Wutong is the name of the palace maid I rescued."
"I rescued her from under the Wutong tree, so I just called her Wutong."
"Wutong used to be Aunt Yu's right-hand man. I don't know why she got rid of him."
"She's good at Gu."
"It's all thanks to her. She used the poisonous insect to suppress my headache. If it weren't for her poisonous insect, I would have collapsed long ago."
"The phantom fog Gu at the door was also left by her."
"That door, like many other places in the palace, would occasionally lead to maids and eunuchs wandering in by mistake. Although they wouldn't break into the courtyard, if word got out, it would definitely reveal their identity."
"The Illusion Mist Gu pretends to be a ghost and scares people away."
Yan Lingyue laughed and said, "Everyone is afraid of ghosts and gods. After the palace maids and eunuchs who strayed into the place saw the ghost of the wedding dress, they were all frightened and fell ill for a day or two. They never dared to mention this place again."
"As for the couplet at the door, it's even simpler. The characters are the ones used by Yu Mama's clan."
"Most people saw the couplet at the door and thought that this small courtyard was set up by Madam Yu. They didn't dare to approach it easily, let alone say anything. Therefore, this small courtyard has remained undiscovered to this day."
Xie Yingmian asked, "That palace maid is still alive, right?"
Yan Lingyue responded: "She is in the other room."
Xie Yingmian: "Can I meet her?"
Yan Lingyue: "You can't communicate with her."
"She couldn't speak, couldn't hear, and her handwriting was unrecognizable to me."
"I don't usually communicate with her. When there's something going on, she listens to me. Oh, she can read lips a little bit and can barely understand what I mean based on my gestures and lip reading, but this is limited to relatively simple communication."
"If you want to ask her a question, I'm afraid you won't be able to."
Xie Yingmian said, "I want to see him."
Yan Lingyue pulled a rope beside him.
A palace maid who was about thirty years old, dressed simply and had a pretty face walked over slowly.
She is very beautiful.
Although she is not young, she has a special temperament of freshness and elegance.
The phantom fog Gu, which had shrunk to the size of a middle finger, lay on her head. From a distance, it looked like a white camellia.
The palace maid had a limp and walked very slowly.
It was less than ten meters, but it took her nearly half a cup of tea to walk.
Yan Lingyue explained to Xie Yingmian, "Wutong survived, but her legs were broken. By the time I treated her, it was too late, and she could only recover to this extent."
Wutong seemed to have not seen a stranger for a long time and was a little nervous.
She pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers and her body trembled slightly.
"Don't be afraid." Yan Lingyue said, "She won't hurt you."
Wutong listened to Yan Lingyue's words very well, nodded, and stood aside obediently.
Xie Yingmian noticed Wutong's vigilance and nervousness.
If I ask her questions at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get anything out of her.
Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "Don't be nervous."
"I was just passing by."
"I see you have trouble walking. I'm a doctor. If you don't mind, could you let me take a look at your legs?"
Wutong hesitated for a moment and looked at Yan Lingyue.
Yan Lingyue didn't know that Xie Yingmian knew medical skills. He was very surprised: "That's great."
"Wutong, your legs are in unbearable pain every time it rains because the treatment is incomplete. If you could treat them, it would be the worst."
Wutong silently lifted the hem of her skirt and thanked Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian pinched Wutong's ankle.
It was indeed too late to treat it, and the bones were obviously dislocated.
Wutong not only feels pain on rainy days, but also has thorns on her bones that prick her legs.
Every step I took felt like being tortured to death.
As the bone spur grew heavier, the pain became more severe.
Xie Yingmian said, "When your leg was broken, it wasn't properly reconnected, causing the bones to become severely dislocated. As they grew, they became thorns, constantly rubbing against the flesh of your leg, causing you more and more pain."
"There is only one way to eradicate this pain."
She looked into Wutong's eyes and spoke as slowly as possible: "Break the dislocated bones and reconnect them."
Wutong understood this and his face turned pale.
The pain of breaking her leg that year is still vivid in her mind, and she does not have the courage and confidence to endure breaking her leg a second time.
Yan Lingyue sighed.
He worked in the imperial pharmacy for several years and learned a little about medicine.
He knew that Xie Yingmian's diagnosis was correct.
In a case like Wutong's, the only option is to suffer a short pain rather than a long one.
After Xie Yingmian finished diagnosing Wutong, he said to Yan Lingyue, "Senior Yan, please extend your hand so I can feel your pulse."
Yan Lingyue stretched out his arm: "Thank you for your help."
After feeling Yan Lingyue's pulse, Xie Yingmian's expression became more and more serious.
After a long time, she changed her hand and took the pulse again.
After finishing taking Yan Lingyue's pulse, Xie Yingmian had a complicated expression and didn't know how to start.
Yan Lingyue said with a smile: "It's okay, I know my body well, feel free to tell me what you want to say."
Xie Yingmian sighed: "Then, I'll just say it straight."
