Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 210 Conspiracy
The woman's mood was like catkins blown by the wind, flying and messy, and every thought was related to the past.
The depths of her eyes reflected every bit of the past: when, where, and by whom? The invisible poison silently invaded the child's body. And how could she not notice it at all during the day-to-day closeness and care?
Could it be that those gentle and courteous doctors who came to visit regularly every day, feeling the patient's pulse and speaking earnestly, had they also been won over by the enemy and become accomplices of this conspiracy?
Everyone in the Zhang family looked at each other in bewilderment. There was a subtle atmosphere in the air that indicated that it was inconvenient to interfere. In the end, they all left with a polite farewell and returned to their respective residences one by one, leaving the woman and the heavy secret to wander alone in this dark web of intertwined power.
"Fortunately, we found it in time. From now on, you need to bring the young master here every day. Acupuncture and special medicinal baths will be used at the same time. The poison can be gradually eliminated. It will only take three to five years."
Doctor Yang's words were full of ulterior motives. He originally wanted to question why a mother was so unaware that her son was poisoned. However, when he saw the woman's disheveled clothes and haggard expression, the blame in his heart instantly turned into sympathy and understanding.
In this city, every wealthy family is mired in undercurrents and endless struggles. She may have experienced many life-and-death experiences.
After the treatment, Doctor Yang was directing the medicine boy to carefully select the herbs, and was about to explain the use of the medicine in detail, but he saw the woman groping inside and outside her clothes for a long time, and a trace of embarrassment and anxiety gradually emerged on her face - she couldn't find a single copper coin.
Perhaps it was lost in the hasty escape, or perhaps it met with an unexpected hand in a crowded market.
"Doctor, can I...can I come back tomorrow to pay the fee?"
There was helplessness in her words; after searching for a long time, she still found nothing.
Doctor Yang's face showed a bit of difficulty, and his words were mixed with helplessness: "Madam, I am forced to make a living. These herbs are rare, and each package is worth two taels of silver. You need four packages in total. If you can't come tomorrow, who should I ask for it? It is better for you to prepare the silver before treating me."
The woman was worried about her child's condition. Although she tried to remain calm on the surface, her inner anxiety was like a raging fire, and she was so anxious that she was turning around in circles.
At this moment when she was at a loss, she suddenly thought of something and decisively pulled out a pearl-studded hairpin from her hair. The pearl hairpin glowed softly in the dim drugstore.
"Doctor, this hairpin is worth at least five or six taels of silver. Please accept it first. I am really sorry that my silver is indeed missing."
Looking at the helpless yet determined look on the woman's face, Doctor Yang's heart was moved. He finally took the hairpin and sighed, "Forget it. Consider it a merit for me. I will waive today's consultation fee. I will use this hairpin as medicine money."
The night was as dark as thick ink. Outside the drugstore, except for the creaking sound of the wooden door closing and the rustling of leaves in the distance, the surroundings were immersed in a deep tranquility.
The woman carried the young boy on her back as they walked under the curtain of night, her heart filled with confusion and distress. Her poor financial situation made it difficult for her to even find a temporary shelter.
If she had not made up her mind and jumped into the cold lake with her children, they would probably have become victims of the power struggle.
The prince's unruly behavior angered the emperor, and he was ultimately deposed.
The vacancy of the crown prince's position was like a stone thrown into a calm pond, which stirred up a huge undercurrent in the harem. Every concubine quietly developed her own calculations and plans.
The queen heard from somewhere that in the Qingfeng Temple near the capital, there was an old Taoist priest named An Xuan who had the ability to see through the secrets of heaven.
According to the rumor, it was this old Taoist who, by counting on his fingers, asserted that a certain person had the appearance of an emperor and that his Purple Star shone brightly.
In order to ensure that her third son could ascend the throne smoothly, the Queen secretly made arrangements and was determined to eliminate the man who threatened the throne - An Zihao.
A young eunuch beside the queen secretly had an unusual friendship with the personal maid beside Concubine Zhuang.
Coincidentally, Concubine Zhuang is An Zihao's biological mother.
When she learned of the Queen's conspiracy, she quickly raised gold and silver and placed her hopes on the loyal Nanny Liu, instructing her to take An Zihao and flee the capital first, seek refuge in Jinzhou, and wait for the right time to return.
In Concubine Zhuang's heart, her greatest wish is that her son can grow up safely. Even if he can only become a free prince in the future, as long as he is healthy and happy, that will be the greatest comfort in her life.
As soon as Nanny Liu escaped from the pursuit and blockade in the capital, the Queen's killer followed closely behind her.
Along the way, all the guards accompanying her died. Faced with a dead end, she resolutely embraced An Zihao and jumped into the cold lake.
Perhaps it was God's will. Due to the heavy rain the night before, the water flow was particularly turbulent. Miraculously, the two men drifted for many days and finally managed to get ashore at the Pingzhou border.
Nanny Liu used the last of her life's strength to protect An Zihao, and as soon as she landed, she sent the unconscious him to the nearest clinic.
Fortunately, the child was not seriously injured.
Just as the mother and son were preparing to leave quietly, the killer's traces approached again like a ghost.
In this critical situation, An Zihao proposed a plan to change his appearance and secretly escape from Pingzhou.
They rented an inconspicuous carriage, thinking they could temporarily escape being tracked, but they did not expect that An Zihao's cold had not been cured, and their frequent requests for medical treatment and medicine on the way almost exposed their whereabouts.
After weighing the pros and cons, Nanny Liu decided to delay the journey for two days and leave secretly by water under the cover of night.
Finally, when they arrived at Yanzhou, they were both exhausted both physically and mentally.
The tortuous route seemed to have made the pursuers lost. Aunt Liu took the opportunity to muster up her courage, stopped a car and asked for help for An Zihao.
……
Nanny Liu carefully observed the surroundings and decided to take An Zihao to hide in a narrow alley to spend this uneasy night.
The cool breeze of spring night blows by, and the narrow alley formed between the two shops may reduce the wind and provide a subtle sense of tranquility.
"Sixth Prince, I am sorry for making you suffer."
Most of the shops on both sides of the street have drawn their heavy curtains, announcing the end of the day.
Mr. Zhang is the most dedicated night watchman on this street. He routinely checks every door and window of every house every night to see if they are secure.
His eyes fell on a window on the left that was not completely closed, and he staggered forward to close it again.
With the dim light, he vaguely saw an unknown figure swaying in the store opposite. Perhaps due to his age, his eyesight was no longer as good as before. He misunderstood it as a burglar and hurried to the backyard to call Zhang Laoer.
Two young and strong servants, Ah Fu and Ah Wang, heard the noise and hurried over with sticks in hand, shouting with great enthusiasm: "Old Master, let's go catch the thief."
"Let's go together. There's safety in numbers."
Zhang Laoer led them and quietly slipped out through the back door.
The group of people sneaked around in the night, their posture more like thieves walking at night.
