It has been two days since we set out from Qingshui County.

Because it is the coldest time of the year, Qingshui County, where Xia Yingying was previously located, is located in the south, so the weather there is not particularly cold. However, as one heads north from Qingshui County to the capital, the weather becomes increasingly cold.

After resting in the inn for a night and having breakfast in the morning, we set off again.

At noon, they didn't find a town to stay in. Fortunately, the third prince had bought some dry food when he was in the city, which were all steamed buns and Hu cakes.

It tastes filling and is easy to carry, but it's a bit choking.

Xia Yingying felt that eating steamed buns and Hu Bing was not tasty, so she took out the pork buns, beef jerky and braised beef she made from her package. After distributing a little to everyone in the convoy, Xia Yingying and a few children ate aside.

Because the beef jerky and pork stew tasted so good, everyone was still craving for more, but they were too embarrassed to ask Xia Yingying for more.

The third prince was different. After eating, he wanted to eat more. He got off the carriage and asked Xia Yingying directly for it.

"Sister-in-law, do you still have that jerky?"

"Yes." Xia Yingying nodded.

"I want to buy some. Sister-in-law, please sell all the extra ones to me." said the third prince.

"Sure." Xia Yingying bought a lot of beef this time and made a lot of jerky, but everyone loved beef jerky, and Xia Yingying didn't really plan to give the rest to the third prince, as they still needed to eat. She also made some to bring to Lu Ziren. If she sold them all, Lu Ziren would have nothing to eat.

Xia Yingying took about half a pound of beef jerky and gave it to the Third Prince. When the Third Prince saw the pieces of beef jerky, he stared at Xia Yingying with wide eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, is that all?"

"This is all I can give you. If you go to Beijing, I can cook beef for you if you have it. You can pay me the processing fee then." Xia Yingying did not hide anything.

"Yeah. Okay." Although the third prince felt that the beef jerky Xia Yingying gave him was too little, it was better than nothing. After taking the beef jerky, the third prince asked the servant to bring him a piece of silver.

Ever since Xia Yingying sent him the letter, Lu Ziren has been looking forward to it, wishing he could grow a pair of wings so he could bring Xia Yingying and the others back immediately. The people in the general's mansion were also extremely excited.

Especially the four maids bought by Uncle Lin were very afraid of the upcoming new lady.

Although they were girls from poor families, they had heard of many stories of maids working in wealthy families being abused to death by the mistresses of the house, and of maids who had offended their masters and were sold to such vile places as brothels.

But because they had no other way to save themselves except to panic, the four of them fell ill at the same time.

After being bumpy on the road for a long time, except for Lu Haojie, Jingjing, Lu Yuwei, Lu Haoran and Lu Yurou, who were very curious about the scenery outside, Song Ruyi and Xia Yingying looked pale and unhappy in the carriage, and they had no energy at all.

Xia Yingying would not get carsick in modern times. She had never gotten carsick from the time she was born until her death.

Xia Yingying never expected to sit in a carriage for such a long time in ancient times. She experienced motion sickness for the first time in her life.

The shockproof technology of horse-drawn carriages in ancient times was not good, and today's roads are not modern smooth asphalt roads and concrete floors, but bumpy dirt and stone roads. When a carriage passes through a bumpy road, it will involuntarily shake. Xia Yingying always worries that the carriage will fall apart at the next second.

Besides, horses would sometimes urinate and poop while walking, and the smell would come in through the window of the carriage, making Xia Yingying's already churning stomach instantly churn. Xia Yingying couldn't help but pull the curtain of the carriage and vomit and have diarrhea outside.

After only two days of traveling, Xia Yingying had trouble eating or sleeping, and even lying down in the car was difficult for her. She looked visibly haggard.

Lu Yuwei wanted to feel Xia Yingying's pulse, and Xia Yingying said, "I was knocked unconscious by the carriage, I'm fine."

Lu Yuwei still insisted on taking Xia Yingying's pulse. Xia Yingying's breathing was unstable and her pulse was disordered.

Lu Yuwei's medical skills are only at the entry level now, but luckily she has seen the acupoint massage method that can relieve Xia Yingying's symptoms.

Lu Yuwei massaged Xia Yingying's four acupoints: Taiyang, Neiguan, Hegu and Tianchuang. After a while, Xia Yingying's discomfort was relieved a lot.

When the third prince heard the coachman say that Xia Yingying was not feeling well, he came forward to ask about Xia Yingying's condition.

Xia Yingying said it was okay.

The Third Prince looked at Xia Yingying's listless face, and immediately thought of Lu Ziren and said:

"Sister-in-law, how are you? I'll let the convoy slow down a bit and set off again after you recover."

Xia Yingying didn't want to wait until she stopped feeling motion sickness before leaving. If she never got over her motion sickness, then she would have to stay here for the rest of her life.

Xia Yingying usually has a way to deal with things that she dislikes, which is to do it in one go and do it to the end.

This way she wouldn't have any thoughts of retreating.

Seeing that Xia Yingying was not feeling well, Lu Haoran wanted to make her feel more comfortable on the road, so Lu Ziren wrote to him repeatedly.

Ask Lu Haoran to take good care of Xia Yingying, her younger brothers and sisters, and Song Ruyi. If anything happens to Xia Yingying, ask Lu Haoran to tell Lu Ziren in detail.

Lu Haoran immediately took a pen and paper and wrote a letter. He blew a whistle and a white dove landed on his shoulder. Lu Haoran rolled up the letter paper and placed it on the dove. The dove then grew wings and flew directly into the capital.

“No, I’ve had a good rest. As soon as the car started moving, I felt dizzy again. It’s better to follow the original plan and take a good rest after arriving in Beijing.

It's only a few days away. The later we leave, the later we will arrive in the capital. I want to see my husband soon."

Xia Yingying knew that she was just carsick and it wasn't that serious at all. However, the whole team would be dragged down by her, and there was nothing wrong with her health anyway.

The Third Prince was worried. Lu Ziren treated Xia Yingying and the children very well. If he wanted to be like Lu Ziren and join the Crown Prince, he had to start with Xia Yingying and the children. If Lu Ziren knew that Xia Yingying did not receive the Third Prince's care on the way to the capital, and that Xia Yingying suffered physical injuries, who knows how he would deal with him and the Crown Prince. He would not do such a thing that would hurt others and make them not understand him, and he did not dare to do it.

"Sister-in-law, let's do this. We will reach another town in two hours. Then we can find a doctor to check on your health. You look terrible. What happened to your body? Lu Ziren will beat me to death." The third prince proposed a compromise plan that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Okay, let the doctor prescribe some motion sickness medicine for me." Xia Yingying nodded in agreement.

Although Lu Yuwei's professional technique could relieve some motion sickness symptoms, Xia Yingying still subconsciously wanted to take medicine.

Two hours later, the group finally arrived at the county town. The third prince found a clean inn to house Xia Yingying and her group, and then sent a servant to find a famous doctor to treat Xia Yingying. "Please give me some votes"
