Gu Jiao withdrew her hand without any expression, asking Yao's family: "Lady Gu, how has your sleep been?"
Yao's family said, "Not great, I have trouble falling asleep."
Gu Jiao asked, "Your appetite?"
Yao's family shook her head slightly, "Can't eat much either."
Gu Jiao paused for a moment, "Was it like this even before the cold?"
Yao's family: "Yes."
Gu Jiao: "How long has it been approximately?"
Yao's family: "I can't remember exactly, but it's been a long time."
Gu Jiao asked some more questions.
Actually the imperial doctor had also asked, but Yao's family was unwilling to open up and always gave perfunctory answers.
Yao's family trusted Gu Jiao and answered all her questions truthfully.
Gu Jiao added: "Lady Gu, you visited the doctor before, right? What did they say?"
