As soon as the two of them walked into the palace gate, they raised their hands to Yingbao and said with a smile: "Princess, your Majesty has a decree, please accept it."
Ying Bao and Wei Zhan returned the greeting and welcomed them to the middle hall to sit down.
The palace people quickly set up the incense table, and invited the two masters to bathe and burn incense. Finally, everyone knelt down in the middle hall to receive the order.
It turns out that this imperial edict was to promote her father's official position, to promote the ninth-rank county captain to the seventh-rank Yuanwailang, and temporarily serve as a salary official, which is a false position with just a salary and no work, and let her take care of the king of Chu.
Yingbao was confused.
Promoted her father and asked her to save the King of Chu?
But isn’t the King of Chu doing well in his own place?
Suddenly she thought of something and raised her head to look at Master Lu.
Just then I heard Mr. Lu Da say in a low voice: "The Holy One also has a secret decree for me to send to you."
Yingbao understood, looked at Wei Zhan, and invited Mr. Lu to the study.
After reading the secret decree, Ying Bao was speechless.
It turned out that the child who pretended to be the King of Chu was poisoned. Although he was treated in time, his life was still hanging by a thread.
To prevent the fake act from coming true, the emperor asked Master Lu to take the fake King Chu out of the palace and tell everyone clearly that he would send the child to Zhouhe County for medical treatment.
“Where is the child?” Yingbao asked.
Mr. Lu said: "I'm on the carriage. I'll let someone carry me in."
"good."
Subsequently, Ying Bao saw a tightly wrapped child being carried into the study by a chamberlain.
The child was placed on the Arhat couch. Ying Baoping dismissed the servants and palace people, and personally opened the cloak, revealing a very thin child of two or three years old.
His complexion was gray and he was dying.
Ying Bao quickly took out a bottle of Wuding Zhi and dropped it into his mouth.
The child swallowed subconsciously but did not make any sound.
Yingbao saw that he drank a small bottle of Wudingzhi, and felt relieved. He straightened up and asked Mr. Lu, "Why is he so thin?"
Children living in the palace should not lack food or drink. However, this child should be more than three years old, maybe older, but he looks like he is more than two years old. It is really annoying.
Mr. Lu said awkwardly: "I don't know that the child is cared for by someone in the palace, and ordinary people are not allowed to see it."
Ying Bao’s face darkened.
Not allowed to be seen by ordinary people? Doesn't it mean that this child is under house arrest somewhere and has never been able to see outsiders.
She looked at the thin child and thought of what her brother looked like when he was a child, and couldn't help but feel extremely sad.
He is still so young, he has been treated as a chess piece since he was a child, and he may have been abused in invisible places.
Yingbao picked up the child and said to Mr. Lu: "I will take him to my yard. You can stay here for a while. It will not be too late to leave after he is well."
Mr. Lu clasped his fists and said, "I do have this intention. I'd like to trouble the princess."
Ying Bao said nothing and left the study with her child in her arms.
Wei Zhan took two imperial envoys to the guest room to settle down.
The accompanying palace servants and chamberlains were placed in other courtyards by him.
Ying Bao took the child back to her room and placed him on a small wooden bed.
This bed was where Chu Wuchang slept before. Now that he, Wei Fanzhi and Jiang Bao live in the same room, eat and sleep together, he doesn't use this small bed much.
He secretly summoned Xuanwu and asked, "Do you think there is any hope of saving this child?"
Xuanwu smelled it and said, "There is not much hope. The poison in his body has entered his lungs. It is probably a chronic poison. It has been at least more than a year. He may have been treated, but the poison has not stopped, which is why he is like this now."
Ying Bao frowned.
In other words, this child has been poisoned all the time, without interruption. It is not easy for him to last for so long.
"How can I save him?" Ying Bao felt sad, feeling sad for no reason at the sight of this child.
Xuanwu: "Same as before, soak in the Holy Spirit Spring, but it will take at least three months. If it still doesn't heal after three months, there will be no help."
"Well, bring out a basin of pupil spring." She would soak him to detoxify him now.
This time Xuanwu was not coy and took Qiao, and released a basin of holy water to give to the young master.
Yingbao took off the child's clothes and put him into a basin of warm water to soak.
It took half an hour to soak, so Yingbao brought the custom-made doll-bathing tool from last time, put the child on his head, and then submerged it into the water, leaving only his head above the water to ensure that the child could breathe smoothly.
"Ma'am!" Wu Yao ran in quickly and saw his maid bathing an unknown child. He was a little disgusted. He hugged Ying Bao's legs, raised his head and asked, "Who is this brother? ? Let Aunt Mu Dan and Aunt An Rou wash him."
Every time he takes a bath, Aunt Mudan and Aunt Anrou wash him, so he doesn't want his maids to wash the little baby.
Yingbao touched his head and said, "This brother is sick. We need to take more care of him, just like my mother-in-law took care of you when you were sick when you were a child."
Wu Jing seemed to understand, but looked at the child with his eyes tightly closed and asked, "Honey, what's wrong with him?"
“I got poisoned after eating food given by someone I don’t know.” Ying Bao said vaguely.
Wu Yao looked at the child in the basin curiously and asked, "Then what's his name?"
Yingbao thought for a while and said, "My name is Wugui." This was the name she had just given him, Wugui.
This name is not just a name, it may also be a life-saving talisman in the future, because no king likes to owe others favors, and no king wants his substitute to live forever.
“His name is Wuhui!” Wu Yao didn’t know what Wuhui meant, but he just felt that the name was very similar to his own.
Ying Bao hummed and patted his head: "Go out and play with Jiang Bao."
It is estimated that the child will return to the capital soon, and there will be very few opportunities to play with Jiang Bao and Wei Fanzhi in the future.
Wuhao nodded obediently and ran out to play with Jiang Bao.
It’s just that Jiang Bao and Wei Fanzhi were both attending classes at his teacher’s place, so he could only lean on the crack of the door and peek in.
The gentleman glanced at him, pretending not to see him, and went to teach the child how to read.
Wu Yao is very smart, and he also follows suit: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good! Nature is similar, but habits are far apart."
He sat on the threshold and recited it for a while, and had already recited a long section.
The gentleman was amazed, but said nothing.
Because the princess said, ignore him for the time being and let him steal the lesson at the door, and then he can really be interested in learning.
An hour later, the master finally rang the bell to send the children off to school.
Wei Fanzhi and Jiang Bao stood up and bowed to the Master, then packed up their books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones and put them into cloth bags.
"Brother Jiang Bao! Brother Fanzhi, you are finally out of school!" Wu Yao was so happy that he reached out to take Jiang Bao's schoolbag and forced it to be put on himself.
Jiang Bao had no choice but to tie up the straps of the cloth bag and reluctantly put it on Wu Hao's back.
Wu Wei carried his brother's schoolbag on his back and ran at the front with his short legs in a confident manner, urging from time to time: "Brother Jiang Bao, hurry up! Wu Wei is hungry!"
"knew!"
The three little ones ran into Yingbao's courtyard and sat down at the round table in the main room. Wu Yao said loudly: "Aunt Mudan! Wu Yao wants to eat cakes!"
Mudan brought out the freshly made pastries and said with a smile: "You can only use one piece each. We will serve lunch later. Eating more will hurt your food."
“Yeah!” Wu Ya nodded heavily.
It would be uncomfortable to eat, and he didn’t want to eat to fill his stomach.
