Chapter 14: Pregnancy
What did Xia Jingnian's last words mean? His Royal Highness the famous King Qi has always been cold and cold, and since he has already helped me find Zhao Qiao, why do you continue to help me? What is the relationship between him and Zhao Qiao?
This Xia Jingnian is the emperor's youngest brother, and Xia Chengmu is the emperor's sixth son.
Is Xia Jingnian friend or foe? Ji Qiang rubbed her sore temples, but she couldn't think of an answer.
The afterglow is falling, and night is approaching.
"Miss, miss, you're back." Xi'er waited for Ji Qiang at the gate of the Guogong Mansion an hour ago, and the young lady had never gone out alone and came back so late.
Hearing Xi'er's voice, Ji Qiang came back to her senses, all the way she had been thinking about Xia Jingnian's miscellaneous things, and she didn't know when she arrived at the Guogong Mansion.
Ji Qiang sighed slightly and said, "I haven't seen my father and mother for a day today, so let's go and say hello to them first." ”
Ji Qiang was about to walk towards the main hall, but was stopped by Xi'er, "Lord Ji is not in the hall, in the second lady's courtyard." ”
"Huh?"
It seems that since the second aunt became pregnant, whenever she wanted to go to her father, most of the fathers were in the second aunt's hospital.
"I heard that in the past few days, the second aunt has been seriously harmed, and every time the second aunt has to be accompanied by Lord Ji so as not to make trouble, now that the second aunt is pregnant, what the second aunt says is what it is." Xi'er looked at Ji Qiang's complicated expression and said cautiously.
"That's it, let's go to Xuange to see Yang'er." Ji Qiang sighed slightly.
In any case, the second aunt is also her father's concubine, and she is also pregnant with her father's child and her younger brother.
"Hey, when Miss said this, I remembered that I was waiting for you at the gate of the mansion today, and I have something to tell you." Xi'er patted her head, how could she forget such an important thing!
"What?"
"Childe's medicine is running out."
Since Ji Yang's medicine was poisoned by the gangsters last time, Ji Qiang ordered that Ji Yang's medicine would be taken by her personally in the future.
Ji Qiang nodded slightly, in the past few days, she has been studying light skills and studying the art of poison Gu, so that she has neglected Ji Yang a little, Ji Qiang blamed herself a little, "Then let's go to the pharmacy first." ”
Pushan Pharmacy.
"Eh, you little beggar, do you know who I am? Dare to snatch my medicine! ”
As soon as Ji Qiang and Xi'er arrived at the door of the pharmacy, they saw a girl wearing a silk skirt slapping the little beggar and scolding the little beggar.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but my mother is really dying, for my pity, give me the tonic in your hand, and I will definitely repay you as a cow and a horse." The little beggar didn't care about the pain on his face, grabbed the corner of the woman's skirt and kowtowed a few times.
"Huh? Miss, do you look at that woman familiarly? It's not like Xiaocui next to the second aunt! Xi'er pointed to the girl in the blue skirt and said.
Ji Qiang frowned, just now she only felt that this girl was a little unreasonable, and she didn't pay attention to it, but when Xi'er said that, she felt very familiar.
Xiao Cui kicked the little beggar away, and patted the hem of her skirt in disgust, "Hmph, you dare to covet the medicine of the second lady of the Guogong Mansion, it's really dead!" With that, he made up for the little beggar again, and then swaggered away.
"Why did Xiaocui come out to grab the medicine?" Ji Qiangmei's eyebrows furrowed deeply, except for the medicine she ordered Ji Yang to be taken by her, the rest of the herbs needed in the mansion were managed by the doctors and Xiao Si in the mansion, and there was no need for the people under the second aunt to go out of the mansion in person.
What's more, now that the second aunt is pregnant again, she is very delicate, and she naturally doesn't need to worry much about such a trivial matter as catching medicine, but how can Xiaocui appear here!
Xi'er and Ji Qiang stepped forward, and Xi'er picked up the desperate little beggar and said, "Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground." ”
"Why did you grab the medicine of the woman just now, it is a fetal pill, and it can't be used to cure your mother's illness." Ji Qiang wiped the little beggar's dirty hands with a handkerchief and said softly.
The little beggar shook his head, "No, no, no, I heard with my own ears that when the shopkeeper grabbed the medicine, he said that there were salvia, motherwort, Zeeland or something, and the medicine I caught for my mother last time was in these." ”
As he spoke, the little beggar cried again, "What should I do, Qi'er is so useless, she can't save her mother......"
Looking at the helpless little beggar, Ji Qiang was a little distressed, in her previous life, she was like this little beggar, in trouble, and no one was willing to help.
Ji Qiang took the little beggar's hand and entered the pharmacy, "Go and tell the shopkeeper, what medicine you need, just take it, my sister will buy it for you." ”
The little beggar stared at the medicine in his arms for a long time, and then knelt on the ground with a plop, "Thank you Miss and my mother for saving your life, if you can use Qi'er in the future, Qi'er will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire." ”
Ji Qiang looked at the little beggar at this moment, her eyes were clear, and when she reported the name of the medicine to the shopkeeper, it was word-for-word, but it was not like an ordinary beggar.
Ji Qiang helped the little beggar up and said, "If there is anything next time, come to the Guogong Mansion to find me." ”
The little beggar nodded, thanked him again, and then grabbed the medicine bag and ran out.
"Shopkeeper, what are the effects of the salvia, motherwort, and zeeland that little beggar asked for?" Ji Qiang looked at the medicine samples on the table and asked casually.
Hearing the conversation between Fang Cai Ji Qiang and the little beggar, the shopkeeper knew that she was a big man in the Guogong Mansion, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "This salvia, motherwort, and zeeland are all herbs that nourish and invigorate blood. ”
"It sounds like a good medicine, so can you ask the shopkeeper to help me catch some too?"
"Naturally, there is no problem, these three medicines are very nourishing for women's menstrual affairs!" The shopkeeper smiled and responded.
Ji Qiang frowned roughly, menstruation? The second aunt is pregnant now, how can she have menstruation?
"Is it suitable for pregnant women to replenish blood?" Ji Qiang asked intentionally or unintentionally.
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, "No, this Zelan and Salvia are fine, but motherwort is not good, it can have the effect of abortion, and pregnant people should never take it." ”
Ji Qiang took the medicine from the shopkeeper's hand, "In this way, thank you for the reminder." ”
"Miss... The second aunt is not ......"
Ji Qiang waved her hand and didn't let Xi'er continue, what was Xi'er thinking, how could she not know? The second aunt was suddenly pregnant before, and she felt strange, but after all, this is the father's child, and now it seems that she is going to test the temptation, this second aunt.
Then Ji Qiang and Xi'er prepared Ji Yang's medicine and then came back to Fuzhong.
