Chapter 2 Layout
Little Gourd spoke slowly, looking naive and foolish.
This made Chu Qinshu unable to connect it with the ancient medicine gourd that Meng Po had stuffed into her pocket.
"Well, it was you who dragged me into the wrong body. Now it's your turn to save me."
She tried to communicate with Xiao Hulu consciously.
"Master, don't worry. Just follow the instructions."
After Xiao Hulu said this, he disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a line of small golden words appeared in Chu Qinshu's mind.
After she struggled to read the words clearly, she was confused.
Can her bath water be used as spiritual spring?
Wasn't it that Little Gourd was fooling her?
She had read novels in her previous life and knew that spiritual springs could cure diseases and save lives, but spiritual springs were not the same as bath water.
But she had no choice but to believe it or not.
Before she could react, she was squeezed out of the small space by a great force.
"My lady, she is really a little princess."
It was Aunt Yao's surprised voice.
"Why is there no sound? But what's wrong?"
It was Yu Jinyi's voice, and she sounded tired and weak.
“Pah~~”
“Wow~Wow~Wow~~”
Chu Qinshu was slapped on the butt by her mother-in-law while she was in a daze, and she burst into tears unconsciously.
[Mom, is this me crying? Why is my cry so ugly? ]
Chu Qinshu complained in her heart while trying her best to stop crying, and her little face turned red.
"Don't worry, Madam Queen. The little princess cried with full energy and is in good health."
As Aunt Yao spoke, she had already taken Chu Qinshu from Grandma Wei's hands. After examining her, she signaled two senior palace maids to take her away for cleaning.
It was not until the warm water was poured on her body that Chu Qinshu remembered the hint given to her by Xiao Hulu.
[Mom, my bath water is drinkable. Just drink a sip after I take a bath. It can protect you from hemorrhage.]
Yu Jinyi: “…”
I thought my daughter was caring, but I didn't expect her to drink bath water. This...
[It's over. There are also crows. At noon, a group of crows will fly into the East Palace. The national teacher said that I am an evil star and wanted to burn me to death. My bath water can attract those crows away. Who can help me? ]
“Wow~Wow~Wow~”
Chu Qinshu was so anxious that she cried.
She didn't know what time it was, she only remembered that the book said she was born at noon.
A quarter of an hour later, a flock of crows flew into the East Palace and fell to their deaths in the backyard.
Soon afterwards, Princess Yu Jinyi died of hemorrhage.
He died at exactly 15:30.
"Oh, don't cry, little princess. I will wash you clean now."
Chun Yue thought that she had been too heavy-handed when washing the little princess and made her cry, so she was so scared that she was in a panic.
"Don't be afraid, little princess. I'll be done soon."
Chunxi's hands were almost unable to hold up the little guy who was stretching his arms and kicking his legs, so she hurriedly started to coax him.
Chu Qinshu: "..."
[It's so frustrating that I can't speak, come and save me, who can understand me? ]
"Chunxi, wash the little princess and bring her over first. Chunyue, go and ask my mother to come in. Pour the bath water later."
Yu Jinyi, who had already cleaned up the delivery bed, heard Chu Qinshu's thoughts and felt both anxious and amused.
But I couldn't show that I understood what she was thinking, for fear of scaring her.
"Jin'er, are you okay?"
Yu Jinyi had just placed Chu Qinshu on her side and covered her with a quilt when a bright-looking middle-aged woman hurried into the delivery room.
This person was Yu Jinyi's mother, Lady Cui, the wife of Duke Fuguo.
"Mother, I'm fine. What time is it now?"
Seeing Cui come in, Yu Jinyi felt much more at ease and hurriedly asked the question that worried her most.
She had been in pain all night and her mind was not very clear at this time. The doors and windows of the delivery room were closed and she could not see the sunlight, so she had no way of judging the time.
What her daughter had just said was a serious matter, and she was so anxious that she wanted to pour the bath water herself.
"It's only 4:40 in the morning, it's still early..."
Before Cui finished her words, she saw Yu Jinyi's serious expression, which frightened her so much that she stopped talking unconsciously, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Chu Qinshu: "..."
So after all that trouble, I didn't get tired of it, but was born a few hours earlier?
When Yu Jinyi heard that it was still early, she made a plan.
Last night, Madam Yao saw with her own eyes that doctor Liang added medicine to her medicine jar.
Afterwards, I asked someone to check the drug residue and found that it was actually safflower and aconite.
Not to mention giving her these two medicines together, even if she only takes one of them, she, a woman in labor, will have a hard time surviving.
Although she didn't know how her daughter could predict these things, verifying it once was enough.
Never take your daughter's words lightly.
"Mom, please come closer. I have something to say..."
Cui came closer obediently.
"Why is that?"
After hearing this, Cui was a little confused.
"Mother, just do as I say, and you will know the reason later."
Yu Jinyi grabbed Cui's hand and shook it, signaling her not to ask any more questions.
"Okay, okay, you can rest assured and rest. Mother will arrange this matter herself."
Cui knew that the palace was not peaceful and her daughter was not a fabricated person, so her face became serious.
Yu Jinyi relaxed and couldn't resist the sleepiness.
Chu Qinshu even underestimated the newborn's need for sleep. She insisted on sleeping until Cui came in and told her the time limit, but she had already fallen asleep by now.
Cui looked at Yu Jinyi, then at the baby beside her, and her heart softened.
The token in Yu Jinyi's hand seemed to have become heavier.
The prince had gone south to provide disaster relief and had not yet returned, so she was left to take care of her daughter and granddaughter.
"Madame Cui, go find some water bags to hold the water used by the little princess. Chunxi and Chunyue, take good care of your madam and the little princess."
After Cui settled Yu Jinyi and her daughter, she walked to the warm pavilion outside, showed her token and summoned the shadow guards.
Since the establishment of Sheng'an Kingdom, the royal family has had Dragon Guards and Shadow Guards.
The Dragon Guards usually work for the Emperor, while the Shadow Guards are commanded by the Crown Prince.
One thing they have in common is that they only recognize tokens, and they will obey the orders of whoever holds the token.
This group of shadow guards were specially left behind by the prince to protect Yu Jinyi before he left Beijing.
"Ma'am, the water sac."
When Nanny Yao saw that all the Shadow Guards had been summoned, she was shocked.
She was even more confused by the fact that she was asked to use a water bag to collect the little princess' bath water.
"There are six water bags here, you can do this..."
Even after the Shadow Guard left, Nanny Yao's heart was still beating wildly.
What secret did she hear?
Why not wait until she leaves?
"Madam Yao, go wake up the female doctor Liang in the side hall, give her some reward money, and then have someone send her back to the Imperial Hospital."
When Cui saw that Madam Yao was in a daze, she knew that she was afraid.
But as a servant of the Cui family and the Crown Princess's confidant, she must have the ambition to accomplish great things.
"Madam, why is this? Doctor Liang clearly..."
Nanny Yao was becoming more and more confused about Cui.
Doctor Liang poisoned the Crown Princess, and the evidence is solid. Why would she let her go? Isn't that like letting a tiger return to the mountain?
"She is still useful. Just do as I say."
Cui waved her hands and said no more.
