Chapter 464 Going to Beijing for Treatment
This allows Huo Jiang to send out the most capable military doctor around him without hesitation.
At least it shows that this person has a close personal relationship with Huo Jiang and they trust each other.
Although he was far away in the capital and the matter was urgent, he chose a distant place instead of inviting the imperial physician or other famous doctors.
This means that the patients waiting for Doctor Bai's treatment have either suffered external injuries that are difficult to treat, or have extraordinary identities and their true injuries cannot be known to others.
Could it be...
Gu Xixi's thoughts raced, her heart sank, and she blurted out, "Who was seriously injured in Beijing?!"
Doctor Bai was startled, his eyes flickered, and he looked embarrassed, "This..."
"This is a military order. Without the general's permission, I cannot reveal more."
He cupped his hands and said, "Please forgive me, Boss Gu."
Gu Xixi came to her senses and realized that it was rash of her to ask that question.
"No, no, it's my fault for not thinking carefully and asking about military affairs without thinking. I have embarrassed Mr. Bai. I am sincerely sorry."
At this moment, she didn't want to say anything more, so she took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Doctor Bai.
"Mr. Bai still has to hurry on his way, so I won't waste your time."
Doctor Bai took it, still not understanding what it was, and looked at Gu Xixi inquiringly.
Gu Xixi said, "This is the anesthetic recipe I made myself. It's not very good. I'm glad you're interested."
"So I wrote one, thinking it might be of better use to you."
Doctor Bai stared at Gu Xixi in a daze, his expression changing from disbelief to being moved and excited.
He suddenly bowed and saluted, "Thank you!"
The tone was extremely serious.
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Bai."
"You are busy with official business and time is urgent. I will not see you off. Goodbye."
When Doctor Bai was about to mount his horse, he suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Although it is easy to get a heat stroke in this weather."
"But some patients were moved to a cool place in time and given a drink of light sugar and salt water. At least their lives were not in danger."
"Don't worry too much."
Watching Doctor Bai riding away on his horse, Lu Jing looked up in confusion for a while.
"There's no sun here, why did Doctor Bai suddenly mention heat stroke?"
This afternoon, the weather turned cloudy.
Gu Xixi turned and walked into the yard, saying calmly, "The key is not heatstroke."
"But there is no danger to one's life, so there is no need to worry too much."
Lu Jing was even more confused, "Who doesn't worry about their life?"
Gu Xixi changed the subject, "By the way, you went to see Yina at noon, how was it?"
Lu Jing probably misunderstood and said with a smile, "So you are worried about her."
"She is doing very well, can eat and drink, and has been walking around as instructed by the doctor."
"But little Le Nu is a bit troublesome. He can't drink mother's milk and can only drink goat's milk."
"Little Le Nu?" Gu Xixi was puzzled.
Lu Jing said, "Oh, did I forget to tell you? Yina gave her son a nickname, Le Nu."
“She said it was Le for joy and Nu for slave.”
The people of Beili use the word "Nu" as a nickname for their children, which is similar to the names of children in Daye, such as Gou Wa, Heidan and Shitou.
They all mean "a humble name is easy to raise".
Gu Xixi nodded, "Peace and Joy, it's a good name."
Lu Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course that's fine, because it follows the nickname given by our boss."
"Everyone says that this child has survived a great disaster and will definitely be very smart and bring good luck to those around him!"
“Just like Boss Gu.”
Gu Xixi held her forehead with her hand, "How can you still laugh at this?"
"Beili and the Northwest Army have been sworn enemies for many years. Who would expect their old enemy to get better and better?"
Lu Jing stared wide-eyed, suddenly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Gu Xixi looked at her and asked, "Have you realized it now?"
Lu Jing nodded with a sad face.
She didn't know Yina's true identity and had only heard Gu Xixi's initial speculation.
So she asked in a low voice like a thief, "What if they are really a family of officials from Beili?"
"Won't little Le Nu become an enemy of our great cause when he grows up?"
Gu Xixi sighed and thought for a moment, "Times have changed, and no one can predict what the future will be like."
"At least for now, it is a stage of peace between the two countries."
"What's more, the child is innocent, and he was born in Daye. Now everyone treats him as an ordinary child. There is nothing wrong with liking and loving him."
Lu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest to calm down. "Hearing you say that, my guilt is finally gone."
It was getting late, so Lu Jing went to make dinner, leaving Gu Xixi alone to sort out the soil samples collected this time.
The fields reclaimed on the border need further improvement.
Gu Xixi sealed and labeled the samples one by one.
Only after finishing the task at hand was she able to immerse herself in her own thoughts.
The hint that Doctor Bai gave before he left at least made Gu Xixi certain.
Doctor Bai understood whose life she was worried about.
Those in the capital waiting for Doctor Bai’s treatment should not be in danger of their lives.
As for whether Doctor Bai knew that the person Gu Xixi was worried about was the Regent Mu Nanzhao.
And whether the patient in Beijing is Mu Nanzhao.
Gu Xixi is not completely sure about the last two points.
Ever since the official announcement was made in front of the military families, the relationship between Boss Gu and the Regent was no longer a secret, at least in this village.
After a brief period of discussion, this matter is now seen as commonplace by everyone.
Just like the fact that "Zaohua's man is Captain Qiao", it is nothing more ordinary.
No one would bring it up on purpose, but sometimes it would come up naturally during casual conversation.
I wonder if Doctor Bai has heard of it from somewhere while he has been staying in the village for the past three days?
Gu Xixi supported her chin with annoyance.
Doctor Bai is truly worthy of being a veteran in the army, and he knows how to strike the right balance.
This would not only make Gu Xixi less worried, but also would not violate Doctor Bai's own principle of confidentiality.
A few days later, in the capital, at the Prince Regent's Palace.
As night fell, the waiter pushed open the door of a superior guest room.
The house was already lit, tea and food were on the table, still hot.
The servant said politely, "Doctor Bai, please settle down here."
"The palace has no maids to serve, but there is no shortage of manpower everywhere."
"Doctor Bai, if you need anything, just call me when you get out of the room."
Doctor Bai nodded in agreement, secretly shocked.
When he first entered the palace in the afternoon, looking at its spaciousness and grandeur, he was worried that he would not be able to adapt to the luxurious life of being served by a group of servants, and was afraid of being laughed at.
Now it seems that they are all unnecessary.
Doctor Bai couldn't help but ask curiously, "I didn't see any maids in the inner courtyard either."
"How about the prince's daily life?"
The servant said, "The prince doesn't like people to serve him closely, so the rest of the affairs will be left to us to handle."
He smiled again as he spoke, "There are no female relatives in the mansion now."
"When the prince marries a mistress in the future, he will hire maids for the palace."
The servant said, "Enjoy your meal," and left without saying anything more.
Doctor Bai sat at the table in a daze.
Gu Xixi's worried eyes appeared in my mind.
He stood up suddenly and accidentally hit his knee on the table, causing him to grimaced in pain.
But he didn't care about that, and muttered to himself in shock:
"I see! Is that so..."
