Once Marquis Zhenbei wakes up, things will be much easier.
He is still the Marquis of Zhenbei who is loyal to the imperial court and Beiyuan.
After having Qu Cheng arrested, Marquis Zhenbei looked at Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer.
"You guys come with me."
Liu Qiaoer was worried about the health of the Marquis of Zhenbei: "My Lord, let me take your pulse and prescribe some medicine for you."
Lancheng is a border town, unlike the capital city. The doctors there have very good medical skills. The doctors accompanying the army can only treat injuries and orthopedics. Liu Qiaoer is more adept at physical conditioning and brain treatments such as stroke.
Uncle Gui also advised: "Yes, Lord, you should take care of one son first. As for this child, I will go find a wet nurse and a maid to serve him now."
Uncle Gui doesn't care who the child belongs to, as long as the Marquis is holding the child, he will assume that the child must be the deceased young master of their family, and he must take good care of him.
The Marquis of Zhenbei looked at Liu Qiao'er deeply, and then she said, "I will treat you while we chat."
That’s good.
Zhenbei Hou handed the child back to Liu Qiaoer: "Come in."
Peace was restored in the Marquis's room and normal order was restored in the courtyard.
Uncle Gui and Aunt Gui started to get busy again. Uncle Gui had to find a wet nurse and a maid for the child, and Aunt Gui had to arrange rooms and meals for the guests.
The maids and servants in the yard also started to busy themselves with their own things.
When the guards learned that the Marquis was threatened by Qu Cheng, they surrounded the Marquis's mansion in three layers.
Even though they realized it late, it is better than not knowing it at all.
Not to mention the panic outside, the room became much quieter.
The child in Cui Boxiao's arms woke up because he had to urinate and defecate. After waking up, he defecated once and urinated once. Cui Boxiao did not use anyone else's help.
She just asked the maid to get a basin of hot water, washed the child, and changed the child into a clean diaper. Aunt Gui brought a bowl of egg custard. The child was already seven months old and could have complementary food.
Besides, there is no baby formula in Liu Qiaoer's space. The child has been growing up on rice and oil. He could eat eggs when he was four months old. Now it is completely fine for him to eat a bowl of egg custard alone.
After eating, the children sat on the couch and played by themselves.
Liu Qiaoer took the old marquis's pulse. The pulse was a little weak and disorderly. In addition to his old age, he was also worried.
After Liu Qiaoer performed acupuncture on the old marquis, she wrote a prescription for him and asked the servants to get and boil the medicine.
The old marquis's mind was no longer on himself, he was always attracted by the child.
Liu Qiaoer pulled out the needle, and the old marquis actually got down from the bed, came to the child and played with him.
The child was too young and had just learned to sit. He was wearing too thick clothes and had not yet learned to crawl, but he was sitting there grabbing the edge of the couch and trying to stand up.
Although Cui Boxiao was protecting him, he did not help. After he stood up with a grunt, he began to pick at the round hole carved on the side of the couch.
Once his short and thick fingers were inserted into his body, he couldn't pull them out, and he kept yelling in panic.
“Ah, ah…” He cried out twice in strange voices and looked at Cui Boxiao, wanting Cui Boxiao to help.
Since Cui Boyao didn't help him, he tried to pull it out by himself. He didn't know how he used all the strength, but it came out suddenly, and he smiled with drooling.
Then, he put his finger in again, and again couldn't pull it out. This time he didn't ask anyone for help, he just moved his little finger and it came out.
After getting tired of playing with one hole, they changed to a smaller one. Once they poked it in, they really couldn't pull it out. The little kid cried in panic.
The old marquis couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward, held his little finger, and gently squeezed it, and the finger came out.
The little kid laughed and drooled. Cui Boxiao was disgusted. He touched the bib near his mouth and found it was soaked, so he changed it for him.
Zhenbei Hou really liked this little kid, and he played with him for a long time before he sighed and asked, "Tell me, who are you? What are you doing here?"
Liu Qiaoer then told him what happened in the capital.
"I am the maid of the son of the Marquis of Zhennan. Because I know a little bit about medicine, I was sent to the palace to serve the Queen. The Queen has not been pregnant since she got married, and it was me who cured her."
The Marquis of Zhenbei nodded and said, "The Queen has not been pregnant for a long time, which is a concern for the whole court of Dayuan Dynasty. Fortunately, she has given birth to the prince now. It turns out that you are the one who is taking care of her. You are the female doctor sent by the Marquis of Zhennan Mansion. This makes sense. I guess the Marquis of Zhennan hopes that the Queen will give birth to Cage."
Liu Qiaoer continued, "Yes, after the Empress gave birth to the Crown Prince, I entered the Imperial Hospital and became a female doctor, specializing in treating the Empress and the Crown Prince. In August of this year, there was a drought in Yunzhou, and the harvest was barren. The Emperor sent people to provide disaster relief. Since I was a female doctor, I followed the Imperial Physician Zhang Lingzhi to treat the victims. Who knew that halfway through the journey, the relief food and medicine were robbed."
Zhenbei Hou had some doubts: "You are a female doctor. Logically speaking, even if it is disaster relief, it is not your turn to go to the disaster area. The refugees in the disaster area are not easy to deal with. You are a woman and it is very dangerous."
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "Yes, but I have to come because my fiancé disappeared here. He was a businessman who came here to do business. Because of the refugee riots, he lost contact. He is an orphan. If I don't come to find him, I won't miss him."
Although his identity was fake, he was truly an orphan. When Cui Boxiao came to this dynasty, he was an orphan without a father or a mother.
Zhenbei Hou looked at him with more pity: "Fortunately you found it."
Liu Qiaoer: "The relief money was robbed, and Zhang Lingzhi and I fled in panic. We lost our way and fled to a village in the mountains. We lived there for more than a month before we came out of the mountains. We picked up this child on the way in the mountains."
"I don't know who this child belongs to. When I found him, there was a piece of jade in his bellyband."
Liu Qiaoer handed the item to Zhenbei Hou. When Zhenbei Hou saw the jade token, he was stunned: "Where did you pick up this child?"
When Liu Qiaoer recalled the place where she picked it up, Zhenbei Hou's face suddenly became full of sorrow.
"My son's body was found in that city. There was a riot of refugees at the foot of the mountain. That was the territory of King Xiang. King Xiang sent people to provide disaster relief and killed many refugees..."
It was not known whether the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei was killed by mistake, but when he was found, he had been stabbed several times.
But I haven't heard that he has a child.
And since it is an adopted child, let alone the child's mother.
The child's jade token is indeed the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, but this child...
"If you really can't find his parents, why don't you let me raise him? This child looks smart and looks a lot like my son when he was little. Although I don't know if he is related to my son, I will definitely treat him as my own grandson."
Marquis Zhenbei wanted to take the child in. Cui Boxiao and Liu Qiaoer looked at each other and were about to agree.
Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Zhenbei said, "Since this young man is also an orphan and saved my grandson, why don't you become my godson? You can live in the mansion for the time being. After the matter of King Xiang is settled, I will arrange your marriage."
