On the outskirts of the city, the location is remote and the people are poor. Here you can see the difficult livelihood of the people at the lowest level.
Beggars, children running barefoot, women sitting on the threshold mending clothes, men chopping firewood, chickens and ducks imprisoned in the fence, the foul smell of excrement wafts...
"Boil honeysuckle in water and scrub your body every day, and you'll be fine in three days."
The woman's clean and refreshing voice rose.
On the steps, Ye Jinxiao stopped his hand, and the woman with skin disease thanked him gratefully.
"Thank you girl, thank you girl."
Not far away, an ox cart was slowly approaching, its wheels rolling over the ground and making a rattling sound that attracted attention.
On the bullock cart, a young man wearing coarse clothes jumped out and ran forward happily:
"Princess Yu!"
"The common people have seen Princess Yu!"
His name is A Niu, he is a commoner in Nancheng and a person from the epidemic area. Ye Jinxiao had many negotiations with him when he was in the epidemic area.
"No need to be polite."
A Niu looked at her, his eyes red with gratitude: "Fortunately, Princess Yu came to the rescue and we were able to save our lives. I have told everyone the methods you proposed. I am pulling the sweet potato seeds and preparing to take them back to Nancheng." It’s being farmed by the people!”
Ye Jinxiao walked to the bullock cart and uncovered the hay covering it. There were wooden shelves underneath.
Each row of shelves is covered with soil, and many green sprouts are transplanted.
It's sweet potato seeds.
"There is heavy dew in the morning, so spread out the hay to be careful not to suffocate the seeds."
A Niu was extremely admired.
Unexpectedly, Princess Yu knew both medicine and farming, and she didn't put on airs. How could she find a second master like her who was so approachable?
The epidemic delayed farming, and the crops were dead and dead. The people had been busy for a year and had no harvest. Fortunately, Princess Yu proposed to cultivate sweet potatoes, which could greatly recover the losses and support people's livelihood.
Suddenly remembering business, he quickly took out a glass cup from the small shelf at the front of the cart.
"Princess Yu, these are Cui'er's mother's ashes. All their relatives got sick and died, except Cui'er. I really don't know where to bury her mother's ashes."
"After much thought, I decided to leave it to Cui'er to bury."
Ye Jinxiao paused slightly.
The whole family died?
Take the glass cup.
A little heavy...
After seeing A Niu off, she held Cui'er's mother's ashes in her hands. She didn't know what she was thinking. She walked past with her head lowered, preparing to return to Prince Yu's Mansion.
At the corner of the street, an old beggar man was leaning on a cane and wearing shabby clothes full of patches, lazily basking in the sun.
Next to him, a man who looked like a little beggar lowered his voice: "Master, this person is Princess Yu."
"oh?"
The old man squinted his eyes thoughtfully, his messy and rough hair covering most of his face, and his cloudy eyes chasing the woman's back...
On the way home.
When Ye Jinxiao walked to a sunny street, he vaguely heard the sound of arguing:
"let me go!"
"How long will you continue to make trouble?"
Hear the sound and look.
Not far away, a low-key and luxurious black carriage was parked steadily. A distinguished man in a blue brocade robe was holding the woman's hands and pressing her against the wall of the carriage.
The woman struggled hard: "I have saved enough money to redeem myself and redeemed the deed of betrayal. I have nothing to do with you anymore!"
"so what?"
The man clamped the woman's jaw and sneered sharply:
"As long as I don't let you go, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will still be a member of my Prince Jin's palace!"
"Go back and apologize to Xue'er. I will protect you and you will have a place in Prince Jin's palace."
"I'm not going! I didn't do it! I didn't push her! I didn't!"
"Go back with me!"
"No!"
The two got into a heated argument, causing the carriage to shake.
He was supposed to not look at anything inappropriate, but Ye Jinxiao was going to pass by this road. As he walked by, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the woman was a familiar face.
Chunjing? !
Just at this time, Chunjing also saw her.
"Sister Ye!"
It was as if she was grasping a life-saving straw, "Sister Ye, wait for me, Sister Ye!"
The man in blue robe looked sideways, he saw an extremely elegant and graceful face, with sword-shaped eyebrows flying into his temples, and dark pupils as beautiful as scattered stars, but with a hint of calm madness.
Hidden beneath his handsome appearance is an unknown ruthlessness and a danger that cannot be underestimated.
"Ye Jinxiao?"
The magnetic voice was rich and beautiful, but it was filled with the depth of unknown emotions and anger, and it grabbed her like a hunting beast.
Ye Jinxiao: "..."
She had seen him.
That day at the Yongshou Palace, where the Supreme Emperor was, he was also among the ranks of those who served the sick.
He was the only son of the current Jin Dynasty prince - Crown Prince Jin, Chu Huaijin.
His status is not low. Prince Jin is the elder brother of the current emperor. He is also the only legitimate son, and his status is as noble as that of a prince.
She shouldn't be nosy, but Chunjing called her.
She always thought that Chunjing was just a female doctor among the people, but she never expected that she was related to the current Crown Prince Jin...
The identity of Prince Jin is comparable to that of Chu Yuci, and he cannot be offended easily.
She stood there for seven or eight seconds, her mind spinning rapidly, thinking about how to speak.
"Is something wrong?" The man glanced at her coldly and asked suddenly.
"……Nothing."
He raised his sword eyebrows coldly and motioned for her to get out.
she:……
Chunjing looked at her eagerly, struggling with her as if she were a life-saving straw, breaking free from the man's hand, and quickly ran behind Ye Jinxiao:
"I have sold myself to Prince Yu's Mansion. I am a member of Prince Yu's Mansion in life and a ghost of Prince Yu's Mansion in death. Please respect yourself!"
Chu Huaijin looked at Ye Jinxiao.
Ye Jinxiao raised his head slightly and lied without blinking, "Her contract of sale is indeed in my hand."
Chu Huaijin immediately frowned, and his expression darkened sullenly, striding towards Chunjing like a ferocious beast about to become angry.
Ye Jinxiao stretched out his hand to protect him:
"Prince Jin wants to touch the people in Prince Yu's palace. Should he ask me about it? Or should I say that my concubine, a concubine bestowed by the Holy Father, cannot be in the eyes of the prince?"
He quietly brought out the imperial edict to exert pressure.
Chu Huaijin stopped.
Although he looked down on Ye Jinxiao, he had to respect the imperial edict.
He gave Chunjing a cold look, didn't stay long, got on the carriage, and left immediately.
After the carriage was far away, Chunjing breathed a sigh of relief. All her strength seemed to have been drained away, and she fell limply on the steps, her eyes filled with confusion.
Ye Jinxiao helped her up, "Are you from Prince Jin's Mansion?"
Chunjing lowered her eyes and hesitated to speak. She pinched her sleeves tightly with both hands. After hesitating for a long time, she spoke:
"Yes, my father was an official in the imperial court. Nine years ago he was dismissed from his post and exiled for committing a crime. I was sold into the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Because I was literate and understood medicine, I became the maidservant around the prince."
In the past nine years, she has worked diligently and carefully. She just wants to redeem herself and leave the house as soon as possible, and go to the difficult places on the frontier to find her father and be with her family.
More than a month ago, the Crown Princess became pregnant and she was summoned to serve her.
At that time, she was holding the fruit plate, but the imperial concubine made things difficult for her. She held the fruit plate with both hands and was not allowed to put it down for a full quarter of an hour.
Her arms were so tight that she couldn't support her, and the fruit plate accidentally fell to the ground, shocking the princess.
The Crown Princess had a miscarriage.
She became the culprit.
"I swear, I didn't push my concubine into this world. I really didn't. I didn't even touch the corner of her clothes, but no one believed me. Everyone said I had evil intentions and that I was a murderer!"
Mentioning this matter, Chunjing became emotional and cried aggrievedly, her eyes red:
"But I dare to guarantee my father and mother's lives. I will never harm the princess!"
That day, she finally saved up enough money to redeem herself, thinking she could redeem her freedom, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The prince will not let her go.
In order to escape, she ran to the epidemic area. Unexpectedly, as soon as the epidemic was over and she returned to the imperial city, she would be entangled by Prince Jin.
She couldn't escape.
Unless you die.
Unless he sacrifices his life for the concubine's miscarriage child.
But she did not harm the Crown Princess, she is innocent!
