Chapter 112 Family Letter
It was still drizzling outside. The continuous rain in the south of the Yangtze River had affected the imperial city.
Sanbao kissed her all over the face as if his saliva was free.
"Mom, get up."
"The sun is shining on my butt."
"Get up quickly, or Daddy will fly away."
Bai Taotao enjoyed herself and was pulled up by Sanbao, who helped her put on her clothes and shoes, and also helped her brush her teeth, wash her face, and eat.
It was the first time she had seen such attentiveness in recent years.
After dinner, he took her to the study, where Dabao gave her a back massage, Erbao ground ink for her, and Xiaobao got her paper.
They all looked at her eagerly, waiting for her to write a letter home to Lu Jiuyuan.
Bai Taotao chuckled and shook her head: "I'll write it right away, don't worry, write yours first, what do you want to say to the Crown Prince?"
Dabao's eyes sparkled: "I heard there's a lot of food in Jiangnan. Ask Prince Daddy to bring me more food. If it's not convenient to bring, then ask Prince Daddy to help me eat more and come back to tell me how delicious it is. Finally, Daddy wants to eat well, drink well, have fun, and stay healthy."
Erbao also jumped in to speak: "I heard that there are many talented people in Jiangnan, and the children must be very capable. I asked the prince to help me find some friends to play with. Then Daddy must be good and find him some more friends."
Bai Taotao had just finished writing Dabao's words when she heard Erbao's words. She turned around and looked at him speechlessly.
He is indeed the material to be a tyrant. Even at such a young age, he knows how to seek powerful friends.
Xiaobao also quickly said: "Mom, I miss Daddy. I don't want anything else but Daddy. As long as Daddy is well and safe, I will be happy."
"Oh, and if you want to know if Daddy misses me, Mommy and I both miss Daddy very much. Daddy should miss me first, then Mommy."
Xiaobao said a lot in one breath, his eyes narrowed, his whole body was full of milk, and his smile was particularly sweet.
Bai Taotao sighed, thinking that Xiaobao really had the physique of an ancient demon queen. Just look at his appearance and listen to his sweet little mouth.
Bai Taotao wrote them all down one by one.
The three little chatterboxes were very good at talking and told us everything that had happened at home in the past few days.
For example, the eldest child climbed a tree again, the second child spoke carelessly, someone was struck by lightning, and the youngest child used medicine to harm someone again.
Xiaobao also took the opportunity to complain, and told anyone who said something bad about her.
Bai Taotao spent the whole morning in the study, her hands numb from writing letters home, dozens of pages in total!
They are all the mumblings from the Three Jewels, and they are repetitive mumblings!
Of course, there was also Sanbao holding the pen and writing crookedly, and the two words "Dad" took up the entire piece of paper.
Bai Taotao: ...
This letter from home is really heavy!
Sanbao finally finished writing down their ramblings about the Prince.
Then he urged Bai Taotao.
Erbao: "Mom, you have to write the truth, otherwise there will be a little dark cloud following you every day."
Xiaobao tilted his head back and said, "Mom said that men also need to be coaxed. Mommy wants to coax Daddy."
Dabao: "Mom, please tell Daddy nicely that when I grow up, I don't want to be his enemy."
Bai Taotao looked up at a small dark cloud flying over from a distance: ...
"Okay, you guys go out, I'll write a private message to your dad myself."
Bai Taotao kicked Sanbao out, then sat down at the desk, biting her brush, and began to think about how to tell Lu Jiuyuan.
She thought that she did have a little crush on Lu Jiuyuan.
But if she said she liked him at this time, she was afraid that he would think that she was saying it because she was a woman with a red mole and was avoiding responsibility.
He probably doesn't believe it.
After thinking about it, Bai Taotao decided to first say that she was a woman with a red mole?
But who was the man she buried?
That time Lu Jiuyuan saw that the cinnabar mole on her waist would fade, and she said it in the letter. Would he believe it?
After thinking for a long time, Bai Taotao sighed, still not knowing what to say.
Sanbao urged from outside: "Mom, are you okay?"
"The sun is almost setting, time for dinner."
"The daylilies are getting cold."
Bai Taotao: "..."
Under Sanbao's urging, Bai Taotao could only say, "Okay, it will be ready soon, don't worry."
Bai Taotao didn't think any more, picked up the brush and quickly wrote the letter.
Then blow on it to dry the ink.
Then put them together with the dozens of pages of letters written by Sanbao.
A letter from home, bulging with so much.
Thinking about the contents of the letter, Bai Taotao felt inexplicably nervous.
What would happen if Lu Jiuyuan saw it?
She didn't know and didn't dare to imagine.
Bai Taotao took the letter, asked someone to hold an umbrella, prepared a carriage, and personally sent someone to deliver the letter.
After sending the letter, Bai Taotao asked Hongdou to take Sanbao home.
She herself went to Baicaotang.
Drip.
It was raining in the imperial city, not heavily but continuously.
There were many people coming to see the doctor, so Bai Taotao became busy.
As night fell, Bai Taotao finished seeing her last patient and planned to go home.
The shopkeeper came in hurriedly: "Master, the situation in Jiangnan has changed. I'm afraid it's not good..."
Bai Taotao was shocked: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jiuyuan is in Jiangnan, so Bai Taotao has attracted more attention.
Her people are behind the scenes and can help more.
The shopkeeper said, "The dam in Yuncheng has burst, causing a massive flood. Many areas have been submerged, resulting in countless casualties."
"Look at this rainy day. It won't stop for three to five days."
"If we keep going like this, the high temperature will cause the bodies to be left untreated, which will be very easy..."
The shopkeeper didn't say the last word, but Bai Taotao knew it was the word "epidemic".
In ancient times, epidemics would kill people, entire villages and towns.
Many people who were not infected with the disease were locked up in this village and died.
Bai Taotao stood up and said, "Pass the order down. All doctors in Baicaotang, take some herbs with you and go south for protection."
"Young doctor, please go ahead on horseback. The rest of the herbalists will follow up with the supply of herbs. You must not stop."
"Also, all those heading south along the way have prepared herbs for the plague and placed them along the path I must pass."
Since the shopkeeper came to talk to Bai Taotao about this matter, he naturally knew that she would go to the south of the Yangtze River.
However, he was worried: "Those three young masters..."
Bai Taotao said, "Have someone protect the three treasures. Remember, pay special attention to Lu Jiuyuan's return, and any behavior that prevents them from recognizing their relatives. If there is anything unusual, intervene."
"Keep an eye on them and don't allow any losses."
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes."
The situation was urgent and Bai Taotao didn't even have time to go back and tell Sanbao.
She asked the shopkeeper to send someone back to tell Sanbao, and then she swept the herbs into the space herself, and then left the imperial city in the rain.
At this time, the city gate was about to close, preventing Bai Taotao from leaving the city.
Bai Taotao directly showed her identity as the island owner, and the city guards immediately opened the door and let her out of the city.
Naturally, everyone knows the identity of Doctor Tao.
She left the imperial city late at night, alarming Emperor Shengzong.
Emperor Shengzong was reading the ending written by Master Tao and felt full of regret.
The ending seemed too rushed and was a complete mess.
He was complaining to Manager Li: "You said, there are no details. Don't you want to write about the details of the wedding night?"
"Blow out the candles, draw the curtains, and that's it?"
"The Grand Tutor has repeatedly taught me to pay attention to the process and details..."
Steward Li drooped his eyelids and complained silently: Your Majesty, if you want to see Huang Huang's notebook, just say it directly. There is no need to be so tactful.
Emperor Shengzong was really angry: "Also, it says quadruplets, can't we have a second child, or a third child?"
"Write down my three adorable grandchildren's names and call them Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao. How adorable!"
Manager Li: ...
You wanted to participate in the storytelling and play a role, but were rejected by Master Tao. Now you want Sanbao to save face?
I would think about it.
Emperor Shengzong kept complaining, and Steward Li even yawned out of boredom.
Only when the emperor was reading a storybook would he dare to doze off and slack off so blatantly.
Suddenly, a young eunuch hurried in: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Jiangnan."
Emperor Shengzong stopped complaining about the storybook, took the memorial, and his expression changed immediately.
Li Zongguan's sleepiness disappeared instantly. "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Emperor Shengzong: "The Yuncheng dam has burst, flooding several nearby villages and towns."
Manager Li shuddered, "Then the Crown Prince..."
Emperor Shengzong was extremely upset, but his face was as dark as ink: "He is in Yuncheng."
It seems that this urgent letter was not sent by Lu Jiuyuan.
But this is not all good news.
Generally speaking, the main city is far away from the dam, so even if it breaks, it will not be flooded.
But Emperor Shengzong was worried about Lu Jiuyuan, who was a good crown prince.
Soon, the young eunuch came in again and reported that Doctor Tao had left the city late at night.
Emperor Shengzong frowned: "Divine Doctor Tao left the city at this time, I'm afraid he went to Yuncheng. This is not a good thing, but it is also a good thing."
It's not a good thing because if Doctor Tao goes there, there might be an epidemic.
The good thing is that with Doctor Tao's visit, the epidemic will be resolved, and there will no longer be the tragic situation like before where an epidemic would kill an entire village.
Emperor Shengzong sighed.
Li Zongguan said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Crown Prince is blessed by heaven, and we have Doctor Tao here."
How could Emperor Shengzong not be worried? He handed the notebook to Li Zongguan and said, "Hide it. I won't read it until there is news from the Crown Prince."
Manager Li reached out to take the notebook, but it took him a long time to pull it over.
He thought that if the emperor was not afraid that he would tear the notebook, he would definitely not let go.
Emperor Shengzong sighed deeply: "Alas, I am worried about the Crown Prince."
Manager Li quickly put the notebook away. His tone probably showed that he was worried about the notebook being taken away.
Emperor Shengzong instructed Li Zongguan again: "These days, you have someone look after the Eastern Palace. If there is any news from the Crown Prince, please report it to me first, so as not to worry the Crown Princess and Sanbao."
"Also, I don't want the news from Yuncheng to reach the harem."
The prince is still in Yuncheng. If the news of the dam bursting were to spread to the harem, no one knows what would happen.
Thinking about it, Emperor Shengzong was worried again: "In the next few days, keep a closer eye on those princes."
To prevent them from interfering and taking the opportunity to harm the prince.
At this time, Bai Taotao was wearing a straw raincoat, riding on horseback, galloping on the rainy night.
Some of the rain hit her face, blurring her vision.
"Lu Jiuyuan, let's see who arrives first, the letter or me."
"Maybe this is my chance."
If the letter arrived first and Lu Jiuyuan knew that she was the woman with the red mole and wanted to kill her and the children, then she would arrange to take Sanbao and leave the place.
If she arrives first, she will tell him in person, see his reaction, and then make plans.
She hoped the letter would arrive first.
I also hope that Lu Jiuyuan is safe and sound.
Lu Jiuyuan, you must be well.
