"They said we should evacuate as soon as possible."
The messenger pigeon arrived at the post station at noon that day. People from the post station then reported to the local yamen, saying there would be a natural disaster that night and urged the villagers to evacuate.
The yamen officials were skeptical about the disaster but dared not neglect the Emperor's orders.
Local officials went to the village in the afternoon to mobilize the villagers to leave, by which time the heavy rain had already started.
At first, the villagers were reluctant to leave, especially the elderly, who said they would rather die there than move.
The officials used both soft and hard tactics and finally convinced the villagers to evacuate in the middle of the night.
By nightfall, heavy rain was pouring down, and the officials escorted the villagers to evacuate overnight.
At the time, their son was lying next to a large winter melon. They took the melon but left their son behind...
"It was just too chaotic... We picked up what we thought was our son and put him in a basket... Our family is big, with elders and young ones, a total of three households. After reaching the relocation site, each household went separate ways. The basket was taken by the child's grandparents, and we thought the child was with them. The grandparents, on the other hand, thought the child was with us... Later, when I asked to bring my baby over, his grandparents, being old, only then realized..."
The woman choked up as she spoke.
Gu Jiao was at a loss for words.
It was a stroke of luck for the child to have survived with such absent-minded parents.
The child likely woke up to find his family missing and crawled around looking for them, accidentally crawling onto the well cover.
A one-year-old could stand and even take a few steps, and the well opening wasn't high, so climbing up wouldn't be difficult.
The dark guards were quick, and Princess Xinyang was informed shortly after.
Surprisingly, Princess Xinyang personally came over with Yu Jin carrying the child.
The child was held by Yu Jin.
"This is Princess Xinyang." Gu Jiao introduced.
Everyone quickly bowed to Princess Xinyang.
The couple, seeing their child in Yu Jin's arms, were so overwhelmed with emotion they wanted to rush forward immediately.
Princess Xinyang asked the couple about the incident with a slightly indifferent expression, "Are you sure this is your child? What does your child look like?"
The couple described a few characteristics of their child, including the tightly curled toes of their baby.
Yu Jin nodded to Princess Xinyang, confirming they got everything right.
Having looked after the child for several days, Princess Xinyang understood that everything they said was accurate. She didn't need to ask further; a mother's gaze at her child was unmistakable.
Princess Xinyang looked calmly at the teary-eyed couple and sternly said, "From now on, don’t be so careless and negligent, even confusing your own child with something else. First, falling into a well, and then having pneumonia. What if no one came to your village? No one heard his cries, and no one treated his illness? You——"
Halfway through her words, Princess Xinyang seemed to realize her emotions were showing and stopped herself. She gave the child a restrained glance without reaching out to hold him for the last time and said to Yu Jin, "Take him to them."
"Yes." Yu Jin replied and walked over to hand the child to the woman.
The child was asleep by this time and didn't react.
Princess Xinyang discreetly glanced at the child several times, perhaps hoping he would wake up.
Having regained their child, the couple was overwhelmed with gratitude. After numerous expressions of gratitude, they left with the child, escorted by the officials.
Gu Jiao continued to dry medicinal herbs, with Yu Jin assisting her.
Princess Xinyang went to see her son.
In fact, since the child was saved by Marquis Xuanping and Xiao Heng, the couple really wanted to thank them, but both of them didn’t like this kind of scene and had been staying inside the house without coming out.
As Princess Xinyang entered the main room, she found Marquis Xuanping's wheelchair blocking her path.
Seeing him always infuriated Princess Xinyang, so she was reluctant to face him.
Marquis Xuanping raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Can't bear to part with the child?"
Princess Xinyang ignored him and walked past him.
Marquis Xuanping's gaze followed her, "If you want a child, you can always have another."
Princess Xinyang scoffed, "With whom? You?"
Marquis Xuanping brazenly replied, "Currently, this Marquis is quite interested in you. Having a child with this Marquis might not be that difficult."
Who wants to have a child with you!
That was sarcasm!
Do you get sarcasm?!
Princess Xinyang took a deep breath. She was an imperial princess and couldn't lose her composure. She had to remain calm. He’s just a pumpkin full of fart.
Without looking back, Princess Xinyang continued walking.
Marquis Xuanping cheekily stretched out one leg wrapped in a cast.
Ignoring me? I'm blocking you then.
Princess Xinyang: "…!!"
Princess Xinyang's temper flared up in an instant. Conveniently, there was Gu Jiao's little medicine chest on the table beside Marquis Xuanping. She grabbed it and threw it at him!
Marquis Xuanping raised his plastered arms and caught the little medicine chest firmly.
Hitting me? I'll just block it.
Princess Xinyang tried to pull the little medicine chest back but couldn't move it after a couple of attempts.
Marquis Xuanping looked smug.
Princess Xinyang was so enraged she wanted to kick him!
Unfortunately, Marquis Xuanping was entirely plastered from head to toe, and she couldn't find a suitable place to kick.
Suddenly, her eyes landed on a particular area of him.
Marquis Xuanping's brow twitched, quickly lowering the little medicine chest.
Princess Xinyang kicked the little medicine chest over, and the medicine inside spilled out.
Princess Xinyang, not expecting this, changed her expression and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
These medicines were precious; she couldn't let them get damaged.
With the medicines scattered over Marquis Xuanping, Princess Xinyang had no choice but to pick them up one by one from him.
Marquis Xuanping glanced deeply at her, saying sternly, "Qin Fengwen, can you stop taking advantage of this Marquis in such a way?"
Princess Xinyang: Just give me a knife, I could really kill you right now!
After organizing the little medicine chest, she stood up, gave Marquis Xuanping a condescending look, and decided not to lower herself to his level by being angry with such a person!
Gu Jiao returned to the main room after drying the herbs. Both Marquis Xuanping and Princess Xinyang were gone. She took the little medicine chest back to her room to check the medicines.
Then she noticed something was off.
"What are these blue bottles?"
They looked like the calcium gluconate oral solution she had given to Little Jing Kong. But when she took a closer look, she almost smashed the little medicine chest!
Enchanted No.1!
This was the kind of… drug the research institute developed, commonly known as an aphrodisiac!
The entire Enchanted series was, but No.1 had the strongest effect!
"Who would need this?"
"I… You think I still need this to seduce my husband?"
"If you behave indecently one more time, I'll really burn you!"
A breeze passed by, leaving the little medicine chest quiet as a chicken.
