Time Travel Female Queen, Legend of Medicine Saint
Chapter 126 Commitment to Baozi Shop
Jiang Qingchen couldn't help feeling emotional. Although she had gone through a life-and-death struggle and a tense delivery process, seeing the happy couple and the newborn baby made her feel that her efforts were worth it.
At the same time, she also understood that her situation was still dangerous. The royal husband has launched a full-scale manhunt, and she must act more carefully to avoid falling into his trap.
If she is caught by the royal husband's people again, her life will be lost.
"Okay, then I'll cause trouble for you. I'll stay here for a few days." Jiang Qingchen also has nowhere to go.
Even if she had money, she would not dare to stay in an inn now, as she was afraid that the emperor's wife and the concubine would investigate her.
Hiding in this dilapidated little bungalow is quite safe.
The boss's name is Shang Yuxiang, who is from the old capital. He has been making a living by selling steamed buns, making a small living, barely enough to survive. While Jiang Qingchen helped her take care of her husband's health, she asked her to inquire about outside news.
Jiang Qingchen temporarily lived in Shang Yuxiang's house, and her life was relatively peaceful. During the day, she would dress up and help Shang Yuxiang take care of the business of the bun shop, and at the same time, she would take care of the health of her husband and daughter.
At night, she would quietly inquire about outside news and try to find a way to contact the Ninth Prince.
On this day, as soon as it got dark, Jiang Qingchen got up and went out.
She walked through the narrow alley and came to a restaurant. This was a source of information she had heard before. It was said that some people in the world would exchange information here.
Jiang Qingchen sat down in a corner of the restaurant, ordered a pot of tea, and drank the tea while paying attention to the people around him.
Not long after, a tall woman came over and sat opposite her.
"This little sister is very cool. She's new here, right?" the woman said with a hearty smile.
Jiang Qingchen's heart moved, and he replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "I am a commoner who rarely comes to the city. I am not very familiar with this place."
The woman nodded, "There has been a lot of turmoil in the city recently. Has my little sister heard that the emperor's husband wants to catch a female thief?"
Jiang Qingchen's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface, "I heard a little bit."
"The female thief is very cunning and has not been caught yet." The man lowered his voice and said, "But I heard that the emperor's husband has laid a dragnet and the female thief can't fly."
Jiang Qingchen was secretly wary, but she didn't show it, "Thanks for letting me know."
Seeing that she didn't show too many emotions, the woman seemed relieved, "Little sister, you've just arrived, and this is not a peaceful place. It's better not to inquire about some things."
Jiang Qingchen smiled slightly and said tentatively, "Thanks for reminding me, but it is rumored that the Ninth Prince is also looking for this woman. I heard that she is not a female thief, but the doctor who rescued the Ninth Prince."
"I haven't heard about this. I only heard that after the Ninth Prince woke up, the Emperor banned him again and punished him to copy the palace rules. Even his bodyguards and servants were not allowed to leave Fengque Palace for even half a step." The woman drank a few drinks. He took a big gulp of wine and put a large piece of soy beef into his mouth.
She said in a low voice, "There are rumors that the emperor will choose a wife for all the adult princes among the nobles. The ninth prince is the most handsome man in the capital. It's a pity that we commoners don't have this blessing."
Jiang Qingchen's body trembled slightly, so the Ninth Prince's people couldn't get out. He was in a restraint. Even if he did enter the palace, he would have no way to fight against the main emperor's husband.
Could it be that she just let it go? She dropped some loose silver and returned to Shang's house with a depressed look.
Shang Yuxiang had just come back from her stall, and she happily put down her burden, "I got a good job today. The breakfast cook at Ba Xian Wang's family has something to do and asked for leave. The manager asked me to deliver 40 steamed buns at dawn tomorrow. "
Her husband was holding his daughter who was crying and worried, "Master, please come and see our daughter first. I'm afraid she's hungry. Do you want to get her some rice soup?"
The child was crying so loudly that it could be heard from several streets. Jiang Qingchen hurriedly came over to check, "There is nothing wrong with the child's health. Is she hungry? No milk? She is drinking rice soup at such a young age. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt."
The daughter's father lowered his head shyly and said softly, "Doctor Jiang is back. The slave family is embarrassed to say that I am afraid that my difficult labor is due to poor health and insufficient milk. My daughter is hungry every day."
It turned out that this was the case. Jiang Qingchen immediately gave him a prescription for breastfeeding, "Sister Shang, you go get the medicine first. It's not okay for the baby to be without milk."
After hearing this, Shang Yuxiang immediately turned around and went out to grab medicine. Jiang Qingchen stayed to take care of the child. She gently picked up the child, put her finger against the child's mouth, and let the child suck.
Gradually, the child's crying subsided, and a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Look, the child is not crying anymore." Jiang Qingchen said with a smile, "She is just hungry. You two are new parents, and you will know it later."
"Dr. Jiang, thank you so much." The child's father said gratefully, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what we would do."
Jiang Qingchen waved his hand, "You're welcome, I'm the godmother of your child. If I don't help you, how can I do it?"
While talking, Shang Yuxiang came back after taking medicine.
Jiang Qingchen took the medicine and said, "I'll boil this medicine and give it to the child's father to drink. He will have milk soon."
Jiang Qingchen was lighting a fire in front of the stove and thinking about what she should do next. The flames danced in front of her eyes, making her complexion flicker. ,
While she was concentrating on lighting the fire, a commotion in the front room interrupted her thoughts.
Her heartbeat accelerated sharply, and she immediately leaned down at the crack of the door, carefully peeking at what was going on outside.
I saw a group of officials checking the front room with great momentum, as if they were looking for someone important.
Her heart sank. Could it be that her whereabouts had been exposed?
Time was running out, so she quickly grabbed a handful of ashes from the stove, wiped them on her face, and rubbed a handful into her hair.
Although this crude method is crude, it can conceal her true appearance to a certain extent.
Moreover, being dirty and smelly may also make visitors reluctant to approach her, thereby evading search.
Shang Yuxiang also ran over in panic after hearing the sound, with a look of panic on his face, "Doctor Jiang, what should we do? The officials are arresting people."
Jiang Qingchen tried his best to stay calm and comforted Shang Yuxiang: "Don't be afraid, I have a solution. You must be calm and don't let them see the flaw. I will continue to make medicine here. If they ask you, just say I am Your distant relative is a deaf-mute, so you don’t need to worry about the rest."
Although Shang Yuxiang felt uneasy, she still nodded firmly, turned around and walked out.
Jiang Qingchen hid in the kitchen hall and continued to observe the situation outside.
She noticed that the officials did not seem to immediately enter the house to search. Maybe they were not sure of the target's specific location and were just conducting a routine inspection.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized that she had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.
She burned the fire brighter, filling the room with smoke and the smell of medicine. This not only covered her whereabouts, but also prevented the officials from seeing clearly what was going on inside the house in a short period of time.
The leading officer frowned and asked Shang Yuxiang: "Who is in the kitchen hall?"
"He's a distant relative of mine." Shang Yuxiang answered cautiously.
The official took a few steps forward, stretched his neck and looked into the kitchen hall, trying to see clearly what was going on inside through the smoke.
However, the thick smoke forced him to retreat, holding his nose and complaining: "If you don't find someone with quick hands and feet to help, everyone will choke to death with this thick smoke. Let's go and search elsewhere."
He turned around and left with his men. Shang Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief and bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, yes, what you said is absolutely true. You are good to go."
As soon as the officials left, Shang Yuxiang hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from her head and rejoiced in her heart: "It's really dangerous. I didn't expect that all the officials were searched here."
Jiang Qingchen also realized that the situation was not good, "Sister Shang, it seems that I won't be here for long. I have to leave! So as not to inconvenience you."
Under this situation, staying at her home may bring big trouble to Shang Yuxiang.
But where to go? The capital is so big, where is the place that can accommodate her? Does she feel at a loss as well?
