Chapter 316 Why does my brother have the same body as me?
Lengliu had someone call Dr. Leng over. After some acupuncture, the situation still did not change.
Dr. Leng called Dr. Leng to the cubicle to discuss the medication for the condition.
Gu Yu's condition cannot be treated as a normal fever. Medicines that clear away heat and cool the blood, such as talc, raw rehmannia root, and silver bupleurum, cannot be used as usual for severe colds.
Lengliu learned all his medical skills from Dr. Leng, but Lengliu practiced medicine outside for two years, learned some of the methods of a barefoot doctor, and then entered the Royal Hospital, where he could discuss things with Dr. Leng to some extent.
Gu Yu was lying on the bed, covered by a thick quilt. Sometimes he was sweating profusely, kicking the quilt constantly, sometimes shivering, twitching, and clenching his teeth.
Gu Qiong was afraid that she would bite her tongue, so she hurriedly handed over her finger.
The pain came instantly, and Gu Qiong almost screamed.
But she knew that people with high fevers should not be suddenly frightened, so she endured it.
After finally taking her hand out of Gu Yu's mouth, Gu Qiong quickly stuffed a handkerchief inside.
Gu Qiong did not dare to look at her brother distractedly.
Gu Yu sweated profusely and soaked the pillow.
Now Doctor Leng and Doctor Xiao Leng were discussing in a low voice in the cubicle. Gu Qiong did not dare to disturb them, so she took a clean handkerchief to wipe her brother's sweat.
But as she rubbed it, Gu Qiong found something was wrong, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.
After changing the towel again, Gu Qiong lifted the quilt slightly and wiped it down. Gu Yu suddenly struggled, exposing a little skin on her body.
Gu Qiong suddenly thought that he was too tired and had hallucinations.
When she closed her eyes and opened them again, the scene in front of her still remained unchanged.
Gu Qiong felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She carefully opened Gu Yu's collar and found that it looked like her inside.
Why does her brother have the same body as hers?
Gu Qiong covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
She was confused for a moment, thought of a possibility, hurriedly covered Gu Yu with the quilt with trembling hands, and stumbled to the cubicle.
The old lady and Aunt Su were lying on the soft couch and were not asleep. When they saw Gu Qiong running over in a panic, they thought something had happened to Gu Yu and hurriedly got up.
Gu Qiong asked with a trembling voice: "Why does my brother have the same body as mine?"
Aunt Su didn't react for a moment.
But the old lady understood what she said. She quickly closed the door and said like a formidable enemy: "How do you know? Who else knows? Where is Dr. Xiao Leng?"
Gu Qiong said: "Doctor Xiao Leng is discussing the condition with Dr. Leng. I know it by wiping my brother's sweat."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Gu Qiong, and said, "I thought you were still young and ignorant, so I kept hiding it from you."
Gu Qiong said: "But my brother is as old as me!"
Aunt Su knew that Gu Qiong was stubborn. Although she occasionally complained about the old lady because of her two children, she knew in her heart that the old lady had no choice but to do so.
Aunt Su stood in front of the old lady and said: "Qiong'er, you know the situation in our family. If we hadn't let your brother and your sister dress up as men, our family wouldn't know what it would be like. This is a helpless move."
Gu Qiong recalled everything in the past, her heart was twisted like a knife, and she cried bitterly.
Her brother turned out to be her sister.
He has been silently protecting the whole family for so many years.
She and her sister were obviously the same, but she was pampered by Aunt Su, but her sister was beaten in the palace and made to kneel in the ice and snow for the sake of the family's future, narrowly escaping death.
She used to be so ignorant that she repeatedly shut out her sister when she was subject to family law.
Gu Qiong cried and shouted: "It's too much!"
I don’t know whether I said it to the old lady and Aunt Su, or to myself.
Aunt Su said: "Qiong'er, at that time some uncles from the clan came to the door and asked the old lady to pass on the title to the branch. If we really did that, how could we girls still have a foothold in Kyoto?"
Gu Qiong said: "But my sister is also a girl. Have you ever thought about whether she is willing?"
But after Gu Qiong said it, she had the answer in her heart.
If my sister was unwilling, how could she persist for so many years?
In other words, since my sister was born, there has been no room for her unwillingness.
When she was a child, she was jealous of her elder sister. She felt that her elder sister was recognized as her legitimate mother and became her legitimate son. She could go out, study, and practice martial arts, and was much freer than she was.
I also sympathized with my sister. No matter how cold the winter or the heat, her sister would get up early every day and study and practice swordsmanship without stopping, but she could enjoy Aunt Su's care in bed.
She was even secretly angry with her sister. Even though she and her sister were from the same mother, and Aunt Su was her sister's biological mother, her sister was closer to her sister than to her, and she spent much more time with her aunt than with her aunt.
She deliberately showed off her temper. Sometimes when her sister came to see her aunt, she would take the opportunity to act coquettishly and deliberately interrupt her conversation with her aunt.
After my sister got married, the sisters slowly became close to each other.
Only now do I know how wrong she was.
She hides behind her sister as a matter of course, accepts her sister's kindness to her as a matter of course, and hurts her sister repeatedly and holds her back.
Until now, when the old lady explained why she didn't tell her the truth, the reason she used was still "You are still young and ignorant."
Obviously she and her sister were born in the same year, same month, and same day, but she was still a dodder flower, and her sister silently supported the whole family.
Gu Qiong was in pain and couldn't hold back her tears.
Aunt Su went over and hugged her and said, "Qiong'er, please stop crying. Is it my mother's fault? I shouldn't have hidden it from you."
Gu Qiong said: "Is it your fault that you kept it from me? Your fault is..."
Her words stopped abruptly. How could such a mistake be explained clearly?
Gu Qiong pushed Aunt Su away angrily and said, "Why weren't you there when my sister needed you?"
Aunt Su's hands were empty and she also cried: "Qiong'er, aren't you tearing out my mother's heart by saying this?"
The old lady looked at this scene and felt confused and said, "I'll go to Yu'er's place and watch."
Gu Qiong became stubborn and stood in front of the old lady, saying: "You are not allowed to go!"
She suddenly remembered that when her sister was in a coma, the old lady said to Dr. Leng, "She is dead, and you and I are both murderers."
The reason why my sister has reached this stage is because of their choice to conceal her identity in order to keep their title.
Gu Qiong said paranoid: "Neither of you are allowed to go. When my sister was unconscious, she called my name. Only I can accompany her."
Gu Qiong wiped the tears on her face, stepped out from the threshold, closed the door, and locked her aunt and aunt Su inside.
Back to Gu Yu, Gu Qiong was afraid of disturbing Gu Yu, so she didn't dare to make a sound and cried silently.
Lengliu realized what had happened when Gu Qiong ran out.
After Gu Qiong calmed down a little, he walked over and took Gu Qiong away from Gu Qiong in the name of giving medicine, saying: "Miss Third, tears are the most useless. If you really feel sorry for Gu Yu, you want to share her burden with her."
Just do something practical."
After hearing this, Gu Qiong felt even more sad. Even Dr. Xiao Leng, an outsider, knew her sister's gender, but she only knew it now.
But then she thought about it, Dr. Xiao Leng was a doctor, so it was not strange to know her sister's gender.
Gu Qiong said: "What practical things can I do?"
Lengliu's eyes were cold and he said, "Gu Yu injured her body in the snow and wind. She may not be able to get pregnant in the future."
After saying this, Lengliu walked out without even looking at Gu Qiong's reaction.
