The weather in Shao is extremely hot, although autumn is about to begin, but the sun is hot in the sky, and people can't stand it.

The pregnant woman knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to passers-by, and the little boy also knelt on the ground with his mother, who should have been carefree at an age, but there was endless sadness in his eyes.

Jiang Wan's heart ached, she stepped forward, half-squatted in front of the little boy, and her clean and white hands gently stroked the little boy's dirty head.

Bei Jinchuan stood behind the young man and looked at her quietly without saying a word.

In fact, he has seen a lot of this kind of situation, not to mention begging, and he even saw people gnawing on carrion corpses for their lives at the border gates.

There is a singing in a bustling restaurant, and there are people who live humbly in order to survive. Not to mention that darkness breeds where the sun does not shine, and even in the sun, there will be sin and suffering.

When I see too much, I can't stir up a trace of waves in my heart.

Just like offering incense in the temple and praying to the gods and Buddhas, there are so many people who offer incense and pray every day, why should the gods and Buddhas cross you. There are many living beings, and who is not living in suffering.

He watched as the boy tenderly touched the boy's head, and then handed the boy the sugar gourd he had given him.

Heh, next time, don't want this king to buy it for you!

The little boy felt the tenderness on the top of his head, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the fairy brother who saved him that day, and his originally dull eyes burst out with joy.

"Brother Fairy!"

He stretched out his hand to hug the boy, but his dirty hand shrank back in shame in front of the boy's clean clothes.

Jiang Wan gently helped the little boy up, tidied up his clothes, and handed him a large handful of sugar gourds.

The little boy was a little flattered, staring at the sugar gourd and subconsciously swallowing his saliva, under the gentle gaze of the fairy brother, he carefully took the sugar gourd, and then devoured it.

He hadn't eaten anything for a long time, and a fruit like this one had only been bought for him by his mother once a long time ago.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Jiang Wan looked at the little boy, the corners of her eyes were crooked, and the breath on her whole body softened unconsciously.

The surrounding passers-by were talking about this.

"Childe, this woman is also a poor person, her husband died a few days ago, and now she has been kicked out by her in-laws, begging all day long with her children."

"But then again, there have been more beggars in the imperial city recently."

"Those are just outcasts from other places, who come to the imperial city to beg for food..."

The scattered words around her floated into Jiang Wan's ears, and her eyes were dark, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and her heart was a little solemn.

The pregnant woman recognized it as the noble man who had helped her find the dog before, and kept kowtowing, her eyes were covered with tears, and her abdomen was slightly flat, and it seemed that the child had been lost.

"Please beg the son to do well and save our mother and son."

As she spoke, she tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes, refusing to let go as if she had seen a life-saving straw.

The people around him also helped.

"Childe looks like a big family, so let's take them in."

"Yes, yes, it won't cost you much silver taels, so I should give them a place to live."

Bei Jinchuan frowned slightly when he saw it, his face was displeased, and he glanced at everyone coldly, they immediately closed their mouths and dispersed in fear.

He stepped forward to stand beside the young man, and his powerful aura made the pregnant woman afraid to speak.

Jiang Wan helped the woman up, first gave her a bag of broken silver, and then untied the jade ornament around her waist and put it in her hand.

"You take the silver taels, change into clean clothes, and then take the children to buy something to eat and choose a place to live. These silver taels are not much, but they are enough for you to use for half a month, and then you can go to the nearby workshop to find some work, and if you have any problems, you can always take that jade plate to the Yibei Hou Mansion to find me. ”

The woman took it tremblingly, then folded her hands and chanted with joy.

"Bodhisattva bless, the son's life is safe, and the good man is safe in life."

The sun fell on the boy, as if gilding him with a layer of holy light. At this moment, Bei Jinchuan suddenly understood why some people should be admired by the world when they are born.

In the Beihou Mansion, Jiang Wan was still thinking about how to go to Yu County, Lin Prefecture to find the jade mixed plant, and suddenly a bad news came from the palace.

The Queen Mother is critically ill!

When Jiang Wan arrived, the people kneeling on the ground in the Dehua Palace were terrifyingly depressed.

Emperor Bei Shuyi turned his back to Jiang Wan and his face was gloomy, and the old lady doctor of the Tai Hospital trembled and knelt on the ground.

"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! ”

Bei Shuyi was furious, there were so many people in the hospital, none of them could cure the Queen Mother, and they were all helpless against the Queen Mother's sudden coma.

Jiang Wan stepped into the palace and saw the incense burner on the desk burning incense, and there was a stack of Buddhist scriptures next to it, which should have been newly sent by Miss Qiu.

Since the Queen Mother fell ill, Miss Qiu copied scriptures every day to pray for the Queen Mother, and from time to time there would be a stack of copied scriptures for the Queen Mother to relieve her boredom.

Hearing that the Queen Mother was sick, Qiu Yao was in a hurry when she knew about it.

There are a few drops of dried blood in the scriptures, which should have been accidentally stained by the Queen Mother before vomiting blood and fainting.

Jiang Wan opened her eyes, her heart was solemn, and she looked at the people around her carefully.

Judging from the treatment in the past few days, the Queen Mother's body is recovering well, and this situation should not occur.

Unless... It's artificial!

Who could it be?

Jiang Wan's eyes fell on Bei Youchen, who was sitting next to the Queen Mother's bed, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his delicate face was also dyed decadent because of sadness.

Next to her is the Empress of Shao Guo, dignified and general, with a worried expression at the moment. And then there was the King of Qi...

In the end, it fell on Bei Shuyi, the emperor of Shao Kingdom, who suppressed his anger, and his face was gloomy and terrifying.

The queen cautioned beside him.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yibei has arrived."

Bei Shuyi suppressed his anger at this time, turned to look at the young man, and his tone was a little stiff.

"Yibei Hou didn't say that the Queen Mother's condition has improved, what is going on now!"

The emperor's coercion hit Jiang Wan hard, and Jiang Wan stood there unflustered, and there was no change on her face.

"The minister's condition has indeed improved for the queen mother's diagnosis and treatment before, as for why he suddenly fainted, I have to wait for the minister to investigate."

The emperor suppressed his anger and waved his hand for the young man to investigate.

If it weren't for the painting banquet held by the Queen Mother, she left early because of an accident, I'm afraid the emperor would also suspect her, and she would not be able to escape the involvement!

Touching the pulse, Jiang Wan's face became more and more solemn. The pulse was disordered, the lips were dark, the face was pale, the snort was weak, and the whole person seemed to have been suddenly drained of spiritual energy, and he was in a state of dying.

This is something that someone used to induce the poison hidden in the queen mother's body to explode in advance!

She didn't hesitate, took out the silver needle she carried with her, and pricked a few stitches on the queen mother's body.

After a long time, Jiang Wan came over with a tired face.

"How?"

The emperor stared at the young man and asked impatiently.

"The Queen Mother's pulse is disordered, and she is in danger, and the toxins in her body are originally well regulated, as if they were suddenly induced by someone and burst out all at once."

When Bei Youchen heard this, his eyes were about to split into scarlet eyes, and his voice seemed to be pressed out of his throat.

"Who is it! Who dares to harm my mother! Who is it! ”

There was a long silence in the hall, and the oppressive atmosphere was oppressing everyone's nerves, and everyone knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe.

It took a long time to hear the emperor speak.

"The Hou of the North has a cure."

"Wei Chen just gave the Queen Mother an injection to temporarily stabilize her condition, if you want to really solve the problem of Lingxi grass and jade mixed plants, you need two flavors of fairy grass, but Lingxi grass is already there, and jade mixed plants are difficult to find."

Bei Shuyi's face softened a little, and he looked at the young man and asked.

"Where can I find the jade mixed plant?"

"The appearance of the jade mixed plant is no different from that of ordinary weeds, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to distinguish, and the growing environment is dry, and it is rarely seen in ministers who travel to various countries."

There was silence for a long time, and suddenly an old lady exclaimed.

"Your Majesty, the old minister knows where there is a jade mixed plant, and there has been a jade mixed plant in Yu County, Linzhou, but the old minister and others have also seen it from ancient books, and they are not sure if it is a real jade mixed plant."

Bei Shuyi paced back and forth, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking.

Suddenly, he waved his hand and pointed at the young man.

"The Marquis of Yibei received the order, and I ordered you to set off on the same day to find the jade mixed plant in Yu County, Linzhou."

At this time, a guard suddenly ran in from outside the palace gate, looking panicked.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, there are a large number of homeless people making trouble outside the gate of the imperial city!"
