I have to say that Dr. Lu is indeed highly skilled, in the past, when he was in Junggar, that Dr. Dong once said that May is a critical time, if you can survive, the child will be born nine times out of ten, and under Dr. Lu's treatment, the fetus in her womb has grown to six months.

This month is a rare quiet day for Ling Ruo, he doesn't have to think about how to save his life all the time, let alone think about calculations all the time, just spend his days quietly.

If so, Ling Ruo really wanted to live like this forever, never returning to the frightening prosperous capital, but in the end, he just thought about it, and he still had to go back.

In order to ensure the safety of Ling Ruo's fetus along the way, Yunli begged the doctor Lu for a long time, hoping that he could enter Beijing with them, but Doctor Lu refused at first, but under Yunli's repeated requests, he finally agreed.

After everything was arranged, he set off all the way to the capital, along the way Ling Ruo stroked the child in his womb from time to time, Yunli looked at it in his eyes, and while the carriage was resting, he walked to Ling Ruo's side and said, "Niangniang is not thinking about whether the child will be okay in the future?" ”

"Yes, when I was in Junggar before, Dr. Dong once said that even if this child is born, it will be difficult to survive, if things are really as he said, I ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Yunli said: "No, when Niangniang is about to give birth, we will already be in Beijing, and there will be so many imperial doctors at that time, as well as a royal pharmacy with all the rare medicinal materials in the world, I believe that we will be able to keep Niangniang and Little Brother safe." ”

"Really?" Ling Ruo whispered, but his eyes kept looking at the blue sky.

Yunli followed her gaze and said very firmly: "Yes, I believe that God will not be so cruel to Niangniang, and Niangniang's child will definitely be safe and sound." ”

Ling Ruo shook her head and stopped talking about this topic, and after a while, she retracted her gaze and said, "How long do we have to get to the capital?" ”

"At our current rate, it's going to take about another month." As soon as Yunli's words fell, Ping'er said: "Seventeenth master, there is a town ahead, during this time, we have been in the wilderness, and it is not convenient to even decoct medicine and sleep." It doesn't matter if the slave or maid is pregnant, but I'm afraid that the master is pregnant with Liujia, which will be inconvenient. ”

Yunli nodded and said: "If this king is not mistaken, the front should be Zhengzhou Mansion, and then rest in Zhengzhou Mansion for a few days before leaving." ”

Zhengzhou Mansion has always been the most prosperous and lively place in Henan, although it is not as lively as the capital, but it is also more lively than many towns they have passed through before, there are people everywhere, restaurants and teahouses can be seen on both sides from time to time, those shop Xiaoer, standing at the door with a smile on their faces beckoning guests to enter.

Ping'er lifted the curtain and looked around, just looking at the excitement, suddenly the carriage shook, suddenly stopped, so that Ping'er was defenseless, and suddenly threw herself into the arms of Yunli, who was sitting opposite, and suddenly the person was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, there was a burst of joy in his heart.

Yunli picked up Ping'er, who pounced on him, frowned slightly and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Ping'er glanced at Yunli shyly and timidly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern, the slave and maid have nothing to do." ”

At this time, the carriage moved again, and Yunli lifted the curtain and asked Sori, who was in charge of driving the carriage, "What's wrong?" ”

Sori turned around and said, "Lord Qiqi, just now a few people called Huazi were beaten out of the restaurant and blocked in front of our carriage, but now they have left. ”

Yunli nodded, "In that case, let's quickly find an inn in the city to settle down." ”

"Yes." Sori drove the carriage to the inn in front, and behind the carriage, the beggars who had just been pushed out were shrinking on the side of the road, and one of them said angrily: "This shopkeeper is really inhumane, let's just ask them to ask for some leftovers and food, if they don't give it, forget it, and push us, because the carriage just stopped quickly, otherwise we will have to be injured." ”

The other patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, Ah Gui, this way, there are no human people, do we still see less?" That's what the world is. Rich people have endless delicacies every day, and those who don't have money can't even eat a mouthful of food. ”

The last beggar shook his head and sighed, "The world is hot and cold." ”

These three people are none other than the three Hongli who came all the way to Zhengzhou, they just entered the city today, they have been hungry all day, and they want to ask for something to eat, but they are driven out and almost hit the carriage.

Hongli couldn't have imagined that he had just passed by Eniang, who he thought was no longer alive, and if he knew the way, he didn't know what kind of mood he should have.

Ah Gui touched his hungry stomach, and said with a bitter face: "Since we can't get anything, let's hurry up and inquire about the way to the prefect's yamen, hoping to meet Zhaohui's uncle smoothly, so that we won't be hungry." ”

"That's right." Zhaohui gritted his teeth and propped up his hungry legs, and as soon as he took a step, he was pulled by Hongli, "I don't know how far away from the prefect's yamen is here, how to go when you are hungry like this, let's talk about it when you are full." ”

"Fourth elder brother, aren't you crazy hungry, where do we have something to eat now." Ah Gui said angrily beside him, but soon his eyes widened, because Hongli actually took out half a roast duck from his arms, Ah Gui wiped the saliva that flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and said in surprise: "This ...... Where did this come from? ”

Hongli hid the duck back in the shabby clothes, and then said: "When the shopkeeper pushed us just now, there was a shopkeeper who put a half-cut roast on the table next to him to do other things, and I took advantage of the shopkeeper's inattention, so I stole the half of the duck underneath, although it was not enough, but it was enough for us to fill half full." ”

Ah Gui looked at him stunned, and it took a long time before he squeezed out a sentence, "Fourth elder brother, you ...... Do you steal? ”

Along the way, they went through hardships, slept in the open air, picked wild fruits and caught fish to eat in the mountains and forests; When they came to the market, they looked for a place to work as casual workers, but few places were willing to hire them, so later, they had no choice but to beg for a living, but they never stole anything again, and they didn't expect it......

Zhaohui was afraid that Ah Gui's words would make Hongli sad, so he hurriedly stopped and said, "Ah Gui, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"It's okay, I did steal." Hongli said mockingly: "Along the way, I kept telling myself that even begging is better than stealing, but I didn't expect to end up being a thief. ”

Zhaohui hurriedly comforted: "No, Empress Xiao Shengxian will understand that Fourth Elder Brother you were forced to do this, and I won't blame you." ”
