Chapter 121 Adoption
Xie Anci and Pei Xuan knew nothing about the upcoming danger.
They were still taking care of Pei Muan, who was still in the cradle.
"Wow... Wow..." Pei Muan stretched out his little hands, his round face red from crying.
"He was very well behaved before, why did he cry so badly all of a sudden?" Xie Anci looked at the little ball on the bed and thought.
Raising a baby is indeed not an easy task.
"Are you hungry?" Pei Xuan shook his head. This little guy had just eaten not long ago, so it shouldn't be that bad, right?
Pei Xuan opened the quilt that wrapped Pei Muan, it was very dry and there was nothing unusual.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Pei Xuan pinched Pei Muan's little face, it was smooth and tender, making people love it.
"It's possible. I'll send someone to get a doctor." Xie Anci called the waiter of the inn and asked him to find the best doctor in town.
"Wuwuwu..." Pei Muan cried for too long, as if he was tired of crying. His nose and eyes were red and he looked very pitiful.
"Okay, okay, dear..." Xie Anci felt a little distressed and hugged him to comfort him.
Pei Muan stretched out his little hands and grabbed Xie Anci's collar tightly. Finally, he stopped crying, but he looked listless and not in good condition.
After a while, the waiter hurried over with an old doctor.
"Doctor, come and see him. He doesn't cry or make a fuss usually. I don't know why he kept crying today." Xie Anci held Pei Muan and sat down.
Pei Xuan stood beside them to accompany the two.
The old doctor looked at Pei Muan and smacked his lips: "My two lords, just give him less food in the future."
"He ate too much and had food accumulation." The old doctor rubbed Pei Muan's stomach and his aggrieved face instantly brightened up a little.
"..."
"Rub him like this, I'll prescribe a prescription for him to help digestion, he should be fine in a while." The doctor said, "Shua shua" wrote down the prescription and handed it to the two.
Pei Xuan took it: "Thank you."
The two sent the doctor away and sent someone to get medicine and boil it. Half a day had passed after all the hard work.
"Fortunately, nothing happened. Raising a child is really not easy." Xie Anci remembered the time when he picked up Xie You before. At that time, Xie You was already seven or eight years old. Fortunately, unlike Pei Muan, Xie You was still easy to raise.
Pei Xuan chuckled, "Really."
Knock, knock, knock...
"Master Imperial Master..."
A series of knocks on the door were accompanied by a man's voice.
Pei Xuan and Xie Anci looked at each other.
"It should be the county magistrate." Pei Xuan explained.
Xie Anci understood.
"Come in!"
The door creaked open, and the county magistrate was surprised to see someone else in the room.
"Master Imperial Master." The county magistrate saluted hurriedly.
"You're welcome, county magistrate. Is there any news about the child's parents?" Pei Xuan asked.
The county magistrate looked at the baby in Xie Anci's arms, "It's like this, the child's parents are probably gone."
Pei Xuan and Xie Anci frowned, although they knew the situation should not be good, otherwise no parents would throw their children into the river.
The county magistrate explained: "His father is a farmer, and his mother is an embroiderer in the county. I heard that his father died in an accident, and his mother also died..."
Xie Anci sighed: "Forget it, this child is destined to be with us, so let's send him to Xingyan Palace as we said before."
"Hey, who is this..." The county magistrate nodded and turned to ask Pei Xuan.
"This is... the Regent King."
The county magistrate was shocked and widened his eyes. He knelt down quickly. Xie Anci supported him and said, "I am no longer the Regent King. No need to be polite."
The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had also heard about the changes in the capital, but it was not the emperor who removed the position of Regent King at that time, and he had not heard any news from the capital now.
Who could have thought that the Regent King would be in this small county with the Imperial Master?
"In that case, we will adopt him. The relevant documents..." Pei Xuan signaled the county commander to help them draft the documents to prevent any accidents in the future.
"It's ready." The county commander took it from the person behind him and handed it to Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan glanced at it and found no problem, so he folded it and put it in his arms.
"In that case, I won't bother you two. If you have any problems, just call me and I will come as soon as possible." The county commander was a little nervous facing the two people and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Thank you, we will leave here tomorrow." Pei Xuan thanked him, and the county commander led his people out of the inn.
