The Emperor did have something to ask her. Since she took the initiative to mention it, he might as well ask, "I'm here about the bellows. I heard that the bellows was actually your invention, but your sister took the credit."
"You’re wrong." Gu Jiao replied.
The Emperor was stunned.
Gu Jiao said, "She’s not my sister."
She denied being sisters with Gu Jinyu.
The Emperor smiled awkwardly. So she was referring to this. It scared him to death! He thought the bellows were not invented by her.
Gu Jiao continued, "Also, the bellows are really not my invention."
"..." The Emperor had just taken a sip of tea. As a result, he almost choked to death when he heard this. "Is it really Gu Jinyu?"
"It's not her either." Gu Jiao said, "I learned it from someone else."
The Emperor's heart thumped, "Someone else? People of the State of Liang?"
Among the six states, only the State of Liang had the most developed and advanced craftsmanship.
"No, he’s not in this world." Gu Jiao answered.
Gu Jiao meant that the person didn’t exist in this world, but the Emperor automatically took it as her having said a word less. The complete sentence should be, he was not in this world anymore.
The Emperor's thinking was a layer above that of Marquis Ding'an. He had personally experienced Gu Jiao's medical skills, so he knew that Gu Jiao was by no means an ordinary girl. But of course, the Emperor could never guess that Gu Jiao was a soul from another world.
He only thought that Gu Jiao had a chance encounter with a master living in seclusion and was accepted as a disciple.
Only, that master had now passed away.
For the Emperor to think so was also not bad, saving Gu Jiao the trouble of explaining it.
The Emperor suddenly smiled, "You girl, you really are not greedy for merit."
Gu Jiao wasn’t interested in these so-called contributions. Her original intention was just to make her iron tools available as soon as possible.
"Is there anything else you want to know?" She asked.
The Emperor hesitated, took a deep breath and smiled, "That’s all."
He got up and left.
Gu Jiao spoke lightly, "Aren’t you here to see the physician?"
The Emperor looked back, "Huh?"
Gu Jiao pointed to her small medicine chest and said, "You keep looking at my medicine chest, don't you want to ask for a consultation?"
As a matter of fact, the Emperor only looked at it twice, once when he came, and once when he was leaving. If it was another young girl, they wouldn’t have noticed.
How else to say she was sharp?
The Emperor cleared his throat, "Well, it's not a big deal. I just kicked the quilt last night, and caught a common cold and a headache…"
Gu Jiao: "Take off your pants."
Emperor: "Ah!?"
Wait a minute, what could have gone wrong?
When Gu Jiao opened the small medicine chest just now, she found that there was an extra box of test strips inside. The injured patients in the medical hall had no need for this.
There were no lesions on the surface of the other party’s body, just like normal people.
However, after being together with her medicine chest for so long, she had gradually figured out the rules of the small medicine chest. Nothing that she didn’t need would appear in the medicine chest, not counting those messy family planning supplies before.
Then there was only one possibility. This person had recovered completely from his illness.
In order to further confirm her diagnosis, Gu Jiao had to conduct a titer test by taking a blood sample from him and testing it with the test strip.
She was correct.
Seeing that the result of the diagnosis likely turned out well, the Emperor recovered greatly. He raised the tip of his eyebrow, tied his belt and said proudly, "You’re mistaken. My body doesn’t have that kind of problem..."
Gu Jiao took off her gloves, saying, "Come back for reexamination in three months."
Emperor: "Alright!"
The Emperor went back to the palace refreshed.
He couldn’t tell why. It seemed that every time he came to the medical hall and walked into that clean small courtyard, his mood would grow more comfortable, as though no matter how many troubles he had, as long as he came out of that courtyard, it would all disappear.
On the way back, he was thinking a lot. One moment it was about the little miracle physician, the next moment, he thought of Qin Chuyu.
At the beginning, Qin Chuyu was sent to the Imperial Academy because he found that he had been spoiled too much by the Empress and the palace maids. He already had six sons, and a Crown Prince had also been established. It didn’t matter much whether Qin Chuyu had a successful future or not, so studying and other things were just a matter of changing his temperament.
But Qin Chuyu unexpectedly became classmates with the little miracle physician’s younger brother.
Looking back carefully, Qin Chuyu had actually changed in recent days.
He cried less and no longer had so many acts of bullying.
Yesterday, the Emperor flipped through his homework at random. At that time, he didn't pay much attention due to the hidden worries in his heart. Now, after careful reflection, his handwriting seemed to have improved.
His thoughts seemed to be drifting far away.
The Emperor pulled his thoughts back and began to ponder about the little miracle physician again.
It was one thing for the little miracle physician not to care about the credit, but it was another matter if someone ambitious took the credit for themselves. He originally intended to go easy on Gu Jinyu for the sake of Old Marquis who remained loyal and dedicated to him at his age.
But now, just let her stay in the prison!
The other thing was the reward he should give to the little miracle physician.
The Emperor racked his brain for a long time, and felt that those yellow and white objects were vulgar and unworthy of such an unworldly little miracle physician, and she also didn't value those false reputations——
The Emperor swore that he had never taken such care in choosing gifts for those imperial concubines in the six palaces.
After an hour of careful selection, the Emperor finally selected a gift suitable for the little miracle physician.
The Emperor had Eunuch Wei make a trip to the medical hall and send the gift to the little miracle physician.
Eunuch Wei said nicely, "My Lord has met His Majesty in the palace and informed His Majesty about the girl. His Majesty stated that the credit for inventing the bellows belongs to the girl, and asked the girl to accept His Majesty's reward."
Gu Jiao wondered what the Emperor had given her.
After Eunuch Wei left, she immediately opened the box and had a look.
Such a big and delicate box, full of decoration, only had a writing brush inside!
Gu Jiao who was deeply hurt once by a writing brush: "…!!!”
In fact, this wasn’t an ordinary writing brush, but the imperial writing brush of the Emperor, with the Emperor's exclusive seal on it, as well as his fingerprints that were left behind from using it for many years. This was what all the literati and the imperial concubines of the six palaces wanted to obtain.
However, in Gu Jiao's eyes, wasn't this just a writing brush?
And a second-hand at that!
Gu Jiao wasn’t fond of writing calligraphy; she disliked it!
Thereupon, she put the Emperor's imperial writing brush for sale and quickly sold it off!
The buyer was Zhuang Mengdie.
"This, this is the imperial writing brush! Do you really want to sell it?" No matter how stupid Zhuang Mengdie was, she could still recognize that this was something used by the Emperor. No one in the world dared to make an imitation of it as that was punishable with nine familial exterminations!
Gu Jiao said lightly, "Are you going to buy it? If not, I will sell it to others."
"Who said I won’t buy it!" Zhuang Mengdie’s hand grabbed the imperial writing brush tightly. "Name your price!"
Gu Jiao casually responded, "Five thousand taels."
Zhuang Mengdie's almond eyes stared wide at her, "It's so expensive!"
Gu Jiao reached for the writing brush, "Don't buy it if it's too expensive."
Zhuang Mengdie clung to the writing brush to death, "I, I, I... I'll buy it!"
Gu Jiao said, "I've changed my mind, it’s now seven thousand taels."
Zhuang Mengdie:“…”
Ultimately, Gu Jiao sold the second-hand writing brush for 8000 taels.
There was another thing in the box, which was a golden medal. She hadn’t the slightest clue as to what use this medal had, but since it was made of pure gold, Gu Jiao kept it.
