Chapter 708: Little Seven Is Here

They saw an adult sitting in a chair playing with a rattle.
Eh?
Did adults play this game too?
They had not played with rattle drums for a long time and could not help but be a little envious.
What was worse was that that lord had many rattle drums in his hand. Every one of them was different, and they were all especially beautiful.
Zhuge Qing sensed the sizing up outside the door. He raised his eyes calmly and looked at the door.
The three little ones retracted their heads.
Zhuge Qing did not care too much and retracted his gaze.
The three little ones peeked out again.
As long as Zhuge Qing looked out, they would retract their heads. After repeating this a few times, they even thought that Zhuge Qing was playing with them.
The three of them became bold and walked into the courtyard to Zhuge Qing’s stone table.
Last night, it rained in the west and water entered the study. The coachman carried the damp book out to dry.
He immediately saw three babies in the courtyard. They looked like triplets. Triplets were rare these days.
His Master rarely visited with his neighbors. Perhaps it was because he was in a wheelchair, but the children always guessed that he had no legs and felt that it was scary. Almost no one dared to walk in. These little fellows were the first.
The three of them did not stare at Sir’s leg like the other children.
They probably won’t be chased out… the coachman thought.
As the eldest brother, Dahu was the first to speak. “Are these your rattle drums?”
Zhuge Qing looked at the three sweating little fellows in front of him and paused for a moment before saying, “They’re mine.”
Dahu pointed at the largest red rattle. “This is the best-looking.”
Erhu pointed at a blue rattle. “I think this is the best-looking.”
“M-m-m-m…” Xiaohu stood on his tiptoes and pointed at the rest of the table.
“They’re all the good-looking.”
Zhuge Qing was speechless.
Xiaohu said, “I have a rattle drum at home too!”
Sister Xivue’s!
Zhuge Qing said, “It’s not as good-looking as mine.”
Xiaohu said, “No! The one is my house is the best!”
This adult was not sensible at all. He did not even invite them to play.
Although the three little ones were very envious, their mother had taught them not to touch others’ things without their permission.
Other than a few newly bought rattle drums on the stone table, there was also an unfinished chess game.
A leaf fell on the stone chess piece. Erhu kindly removed the leaf, but his sleeve was a little wide, causing the chess game to be messed up. A few chess pieces even fell to the ground.
Erhu cried out, “Aiya.”
Dahu squatted down, picked up the chess pieces, and placed them back in their original positions. The pieces also returned to their positions one by one, exactly the same as the original chess game.
Zhuge Qing looked at Dahu in surprise. “How old are you?”
“Three years old,” Da Hu said.
“You know how to play chess?” Zhuge Qing asked.
Dahu shook his head.
“Xiaohu knows how to play chess!” Xiaohu said.
Zhuge Qing wanted to ask more, but Xing’er came over and brought the three little ones back to the inn.
“Ah Yuan.”
The coachman called Ah Yuan put down the half-done book and walked forward. “Sir.”
Zhuge Qing picked three rattle drums. “Send them to those three little fellows.”
Ah Yuan was shocked. This was the first time Master had given something to unfamiliar children.
He agreed. “Yes.”
In the princess’s residence, Su Xiaoxiao ended today’s treatment. The young prince’s fever receded again.
However, because of the previous lesson, the other imperial physicians still did not think highly of her medical skills. They thought that she had drugged the young royal prince to reduce his fever. This could not save the young royal prince.
On the contrary, it would harm the young prince.
“Just wait to be questioned,” Physician Li muttered disdainfully.
He had not liked Imperial Physician Liang for a long time. Back then, he and
Imperial Physician Liang had competed for the position of imperial physician. In the end, Imperial Physician Liang was successfully selected and he was defeated.
He was hoping that something would happen to Imperial Physician Liang. Anyway, he was not from the Imperial Hospital. No matter what trouble there was, it would not implicate him.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what he was thinking. Not to mention that she wasn’t Imperial Physician Liang, she wouldn’t care about the jealousy of a defeated opponent.
She carried the first aid kit out of the courtyard.
Eunuch He chased after her. “Miss, please wait.”
Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks and looked around to make sure there was no third person here. She turned to look at Eunuch He.
She had long felt that there was something wrong with this old eunuch’s gaze. She had already disguised herself as a beard, but she was still seen through. As expected of the trusted aide of the Western Jin Emperor. He had some skills.
Eunuch He smiled. “Miss, don’t be afraid. No matter who you are, as long as you can treat the young prince’s illness, His Majesty will reward you heavily. On the other hand, if anything goes wrong, you and the Imperial Princess’s residence have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and will be beheaded. ”
After coming out of the princess’s residence, Wei Ting and Ah Fu were already waiting in the alley opposite.
Su Xiaoxiao saw them and walked over to get into the carriage.
“How is it?” Wei Ting asked.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hide it. “I was discovered by the Western Jin Emperor, but he only discovered that I was impersonating Imperial Physician Liang and didn’t know who I was. He doesn’t care who I am, only that I can treat the young county prince’s illness.”
Wei Ting said, “If he can’t be cured, I’ll take you away from the Western Jin.” Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You don’t have to be so pessimistic.”
She had studied it all night last night and already had a direction to treat. Not to mention anything else, she was at least 70% confident.
“What about you?” she asked Wei Ting.
Wei Ting said, “We went to the opera house that Big Brother mentioned. They asked me to retrieve the news three days later.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “Three days? Do they know Second Brother?”
Wei Ting thought of the woman’s original words. “She said she didn’t know him.”
Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “It only takes three days to check on someone you don’t know. Don’t you think it’s too strange?”
Wei Ting said, “There are indeed doubts, but this is not a bad thing.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and realized. “That’s true. If someone has seen him, it means that Second Brother might really be alive.”
On the way back to the inn, Wei Ting asked Ah Fu to stop the carriage in front of a shop selling jewelry and children’s clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and asked, “After buying candied hawthorn for them in the morning, you’re shopping again. When did you spoil them so much?”
“I’m buying for Xi Yue.” Wei Ting got out of the carriage. “Today is Xi Yue’s birthday.”
“Ah, then I’ll choose something too.”
The two of them chose a beautiful set of clothes for Wei Xiyue, an exquisite red string bracelet, and a box of shark pearl headbands.
In addition, they bought clothes and tiger-headed shoes for the three little ones.
The two of them returned to the inn. The three little fellows each held their beloved rattle drums and jumped around the bed.
“Mother!”
The three little ones jumped and called out.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over with a smile and looked at the three unfamiliar things. She asked, “Who bought the rattle drum?” Dahu jumped and replied, “Uncle gave it to me!”
“Oh? Which uncle?”
Erhu said, “Good-looking uncle!” Xiaohu said, “The best-looking uncle!”
Su Xiaoxiao was still at a loss.
“It’s a young master who lives opposite.” Xing’er told him about the three young masters playing at his house.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three little fellows jumping on the bed and said, “I’ll thank him. ”
“I’ll go,” Wei Ting said. “Rest for a while.”
“Okay.”
The courtyard door was ajar.
He raised his hand and knocked gently. Creak—
The door was opened from the inside..
