Madam Wu brought over some medicinal soup and gave each of them a bowl to drink.
Looking at the prince lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), she said to Li Lanzhen with heartache.
"This child is probably poisoned. With my skills, I can't cure him."
We need to send it to Youzhou City as soon as possible to get a doctor to examine it and prescribe some herbal medicine.
Poisoning is a serious matter that requires prompt and thorough treatment.
This child is so young, tsk tsk, he's suffering!
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the silver fox.
Silver Fox nodded.
"I know medicine; he is indeed poisoned, and I know how to detoxify him."
Mrs. Wu was delighted. "That's wonderful. If you need any medicine, just tell me and I'll get it for you."
Silver Fox said, "Okay, I'll come find you if needed. Thank you, Auntie."
Li Lanzhen knew about the medicinal herb garden in the space, and the silver fox should be very familiar with it. She would put both of them into the space at night, and the silver fox could then treat them.
Linglong was too young, and after crying and getting nervous, she fell asleep on the kang next to her brother.
Su Chen frowned, sitting silently beside the prince, holding his hand tightly.
Han Mingxiang came to call them to go eat.
Li Lanzhi woke Linglong up and held her in her arms.
He said to Silver Fox, "Will you come eat with us, or will you stay here and have someone bring the food over?"
Silver Fox said, "I'll have my meal here."
Su Chen also said, "Grandma, can I eat here too?"
Li Lanzhen readily agreed, saying, "Okay, you and your uncle can stay here. I'll bring the food over later, and you can eat here."
He casually placed the half-asleep Linglong on the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Linglong, why don't you eat here with your brother and uncle?"
She nodded her little head and said in a muffled voice, "Okay, thank you, Grandma."
When Li Lanzhen and Han Mingxiang arrived at the dining room, they saw three food boxes placed on the table near the entrance.
Xue Nizi saw her come in and said.
"Mother, I cooked rice porridge, vegetable pancakes, and two refreshing side dishes for Silver Fox and the other brothers."
The meals for Su Chen and Linglong also included rice porridge, vegetable pancakes, and potatoes stewed with dried meat.
"Okay, you did a great job. I'll take it to them now."
Li Lanzhen and Han Mingxiang carried three food boxes back home, left the food for them, and then returned to the dining room.
When Han Shunde saw Li Lanzhen come in, he waved for them to come and sit at that table.
Li Lanzhen saw that there were still two seats left at this table, so she went over there. They must be waiting for him to say something.
Since fleeing the famine, Li Lanzhen's actions, demeanor, and words have made everyone deeply understand the truth of the saying, "Women can hold up half the sky."
Therefore, in Peach Blossom Spring, women are involved in all decisions.
During meals, men and women are not strictly separated.
Back in Hanjiacun, some families wouldn't let the women sit at the table.
But once you arrive in Peach Blossom Spring, such rules no longer apply.
After sitting down, Li Lanzhen drank a couple of mouthfuls of porridge to calm herself down.
Han Shunde then spoke, “Sister Lanzhen, today Silver Fox and that boy were able to come to our Peach Blossom Spring by the river.”
I worry that one day someone might follow the water flow to Peach Blossom Spring.
We just discussed it, and tomorrow we're planning to go upstream to see if we can set up some traps to stop anyone trying to get in.
Li Lanzhen finished the vegetable pancake in her hand, took a sip of porridge, and nodded.
"What you've thought of, I've also thought of."
I also want to see if the river can pass through Youzhou City by following the current downstream.
"If we pass through Youzhou City, it will be much more convenient for us to sell vegetables or go to Youzhou City in the future."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at Li Lanzhen, their eyes sparkling as they nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, how come we didn't think of that? Lanzhou girls are so clever!"
Li Lanzhen smiled and said, "You guys are very smart too."
It was thought that we could go upstream to check on the river's water inflow.
"Then, tomorrow we'll go our separate ways and each go about our own business."
Xue Laohu said, "I think our security patrols in Peach Blossom Spring cannot stop for a moment and need to be strengthened."
Han Shunde chimed in, "Yes, let's arrange these things tomorrow, who will stay in the village to handle daily work and security tasks, and who will go upstream to check on the river inlet."
Lanzhen wants to go outside the river to take a look.
Han Mingxiang turned to look at Li Lanzhen and said.
"Mom, you can't go on alone, I'll come with you."
Also, how are we going to get out? We don't have a boat, and sitting on planks isn't very practical, is it?
Li Lanzhen then thought of this problem.
Yes, I was so eager to go out and explore along the river that I hadn't even thought about what tools I should use.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's not rush it. I'll discuss it with my dad tomorrow and see if we can build a simple bamboo or wooden raft."
Li Erhan overheard his daughter's words at the table next to him and said to Li Lanzhen.
“Daughter, I’ve been thinking about this too. I already have an idea. Tomorrow, your brother and I, along with a few young men, will work overtime to build you a vehicle that can travel on water.”
Li Lanzhen smiled brightly at her father, "Thank you, Dad. It's so good to have you."
When Li Erhan heard Li Lanzhen's childish words, he chuckled proudly.
After the meal, Li Lanzhen said to Han Shunde and the others, "Wait a moment, I will give you all the money I earned from selling vegetables and people in the village today."
After she handed over all the accounts and gave them the money, she hurried back home.
Su Chen and Linglong were already asleep.
Li Lanzhen carried Linglong over and placed her on the kang (heated brick bed) in the west room, where Han Yuemei usually slept with Miaomiao.
After coming over, he said to Silver Fox, "I'll carry Su Chen over too, otherwise if I put the two of you into the secret place tonight and leave him alone in this room, he'll be scared when he wakes up."
Silver Fox nodded and agreed.
Li Lanzhen placed Su Chen on the kang (heated brick bed) in her room in the east wing.
Beside her were Douhua and Datou, the two children whose hands and feet had been washed and who were covered with blankets by Han Yuemei and were now asleep.
After taking off Su Chen's outer clothes and covering him with a quilt, Li Lanzhen went to the east wing.
Once inside the house, she said, "We're going into the secret area now."
Seeing the Crown Prince's condition, Li Lanzhen realized that he had been poisoned for too long and needed to be treated as soon as possible.
After entering the space, the three of them appeared directly in the grass shed built by the silver fox next to the herb field.
Li Lanzhen looked at the Crown Prince, who was still unconscious.
"Silver Fox, how old is the Crown Prince this year?"
"Auntie, the Crown Prince is 11 years old this year. He was poisoned by the Imperial Concubine."
The Imperial Concubine's son is ten years old this year. Her father is the General Who Guards the North, and his brother has just led the army to suppress the Jin King's army.
After the Consort's brother returned to the capital, she became even more unscrupulous in the harem, flaunting her power and bullying the Empress in various ways.
The emperor has just ascended the throne and his power is weak. Half of the people in the court are aligned with the General Who Guards the North.
Therefore, the empress had a difficult time in the palace, and the emperor also faced difficulties in court.
After hearing this, Li Lanzhen sighed inwardly and felt secretly fortunate.
I have transmigrated into the body of an old woman.
Imagine if you were transported to the imperial harem, or to the home of some powerful and wealthy family.
I reckon he'll be dead in less than three episodes.
She's just not cut out for backstabbing and intrigue!
