(Too familiar, folks. Looks more familiar than my own ID.)

Qiu Baishao quickly realized, "The wind was blowing just now, I want to touch my sister to see if it's cold, and I don't want to wake her up."

Startled, Melo shrank back subconsciously in fear, turning her head to avoid Qiu Baishao's touch.

"Sister finished writing?" She looked at the account book on the Kang table, her tone slightly panicked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Qiu Baishao couldn't help laughing when she saw that she was like a frightened bird.It really is a weak character, is it possible that she really thought she would attack her here?

However, this appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than Liu's domineering appearance. In the entire palace, only the princess is the most worry-free.

"Yes, please take a look at the princess." Qiu Baishao followed her words, handed over the paper, and pushed the abacus in front of Melo.She still really wants to learn something quickly.

But he didn't want Mello to hold the papers in his hands and turn them over one by one without touching the abacus in front of him.

She looked at it for a while, picked up a pen and circled the numbers, and it took less than a quarter of an hour before returning the things to Qiu Baishao, "I think these points seem to be suspicious, sister, do you want to think about it again?"

Qiu Baishao's heart was full of mixed feelings, no matter how glamorous she was dressed up, there were some things that would break if poked, and could not stand the test.

"Okay." She kept smiling, "I'll have a look again."

Just as she sat down, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and then Yi'er ran in in a panic, and without paying attention to the concubine, she said directly to Qiu Baishao, "It's not good, master, I just sent a message from Qiu's house, My aunt is seriously ill, and there is no cure for Shiyao... I am afraid she will die soon."

despair--

The writing brush in the woman's hand slipped and landed on the table. After rolling twice, it fell off the kang bed.The body of the pen rolled out a long way, and the ink on the tip drew intermittent traces.

"Mother is seriously ill?" She stood up abruptly, "When did it happen, why didn't I know?"

"I heard that you started coughing up blood not long after you got married. My aunt was afraid that you would be sad, so she kept it a secret..."

Qiu Baishao's pupils constricted, and suddenly the world wobbled, she put one hand on the table, and her whole body was on the verge of falling.

"Sister!" Melo supported her, looked at Qiu Baishao's bewildered appearance, and asked for her, "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said... I'm afraid it's..." Yi'er lowered her head, not daring to speak again.

"Have you invited the imperial physician!" Qiu Baishao regained her strength, "Invite the best imperial physician in the palace, my mother has always been healthy, she must be treated by those barefoot doctors blindly!"

"Master went to invite him yesterday, but the people in the imperial hospital said that the imperial physician is only for the royal family, how can ordinary people invite the imperial physician?"

"Bastard!" The gentle beauty who has always been outside showed blood in her eyes, tearing away all the beautiful disguises, "Didn't they say that I sent someone to invite them?"

Yi'er raised her eyes, then lowered her eyes again, "Say, I said..."

Not to mention that Qiu Baishao is just a side concubine, and her background is also humble, even because of Melo, the Tai Hospital dare not take care of this matter.

These days, the news that the third princess was neglected by the prince because of Qiu Baishao was widely spread, and Melo was the granddaughter of the imperial hospital. The imperial physicians who worked under the staff naturally didn't want to touch this bad luck.

In desperation, Qiu Baishao didn't think so much.She closed her eyes, suppressing the unsteady rise and fall of her chest.

Sure enough, her footing is still unstable, and no one in this world looks down on her. Even if she is the daughter of a county magistrate today, those imperial physicians will probably be willing to treat her mother.

If, if mother is gone, what is the use of the glory and wealth that she has been planning all these years!

Melo couldn't be happy seeing her like this.She pulled out a warm jade pendant from her neck, and handed it to Yi'er, "The judge of the imperial hospital is my grandfather, you take this thing and ask him to heal the concubine's mother, and he will agree."

After all, Qiu Baishao is the real bride, how scheming she is on weekdays, she panics when encountering life and death events of her close relatives, and is overwhelmed by anxiety and sadness.Melo, who is still an outsider, reminded, "Normally, women in the palace are not allowed to leave the palace casually, but the situation is critical now. If the prince is here, he will allow you to see your mother. You should pack up quickly and go home to serve the two. day."

Only then did Qiu Baishao realize, "Yes, yes, I'm going to see my mother, I'm leaving now."

She just took two steps outside, but there was a sharp voice at the door, "The Empress Dowager Yizhi has arrived—"

Against the summer light, a line of guards dressed in yellow walked in outside the door, headed by an eunuch in a flower robe, with dust on his arms, haughty eyes, and his chin raised higher than ordinary people.

Qiu Baishao was stunned, then heard the head eunuch say, "Is this the side concubine Qiu?"

"Yes……"

The man looked her up and down, and smiled inexplicably, "The empress dowager announces you to enter the palace, Concubine Qiu, so let's go for a visit, shall we?"

"But..." Qiu Baishao was only thinking about her mother at this time, and she spoke recklessly, "But my mother is seriously ill, let me go to see my mother, and then go to the queen mother..."

"Presumptuous." The eunuch frowned and yelled, "With the queen mother's intention, even the emperor would not dare to delay, you are a little side concubine, is it possible that the queen mother is waiting for you?"

Melo in the house heard the movement and asked Qiushi to help her out.

"Hey, Third Princess." The eunuch of the Compassionate Ning Palace was familiar with Melo, and the arrogance on her face immediately dissipated when she saw her, showing a bit of earnestness, "Why did you come out because of your poor health, go back and lie down, don't caught the heat."

"Eunuch Zhou." Melo called out as a compliment.She looked at Qiu Baishao, who was in a dilemma, and couldn't help thinking about her mother. If her mother was seriously ill, she might be as anxious as Qiu Baishao.

Thinking of this, she took Qiu Baishao's hand and signaled her to be at ease, then turned her head and said to Zhou Gonggong, "It's really a coincidence, the side concubine's mother is in a hurry, you have seen her anxious appearance If you don't let her go back and take a look, she will be flustered and unseemly in front of the queen mother, and she will inevitably bump into the queen mother."

Qiu Baishao was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Melo in a daze.

She made things difficult for her in private, Melo didn't have to speak for her...

"But the Empress Dowager's intention is here..."

Melo squeezed Qiu Baishao's hand, and said in a compromise, "Well, let her go back and have a look first, and then go to the Queen Mother to answer after she is at ease. Before that, I will go to greet the Queen Mother on her behalf. You think this is good." ?”

Eunuch Zhou squinted at Qiu Baishao, "Since the third concubine said so, then Concubine Qiu, please hurry up and don't make the Queen Mother wait too long." After he finished speaking, he turned sideways, "The carriage is ready, and the servants are outside First Class Princess."

"Thank you." Melo nodded and watched him leave.

As soon as he left, Qiu Baishao immediately bowed to Melo, "My concubine is a great virtue, I will always remember it in my heart."

Melo smiled, rolled up the veil and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Hundreds of goodness and filial piety come first, you go anyway. It's just that I was grounded by the lord, but I left the yard rashly today, and I asked my sister to speak kindly for me when the lord comes back."

"This is nature, this is nature." Qiu Baishao bit her lip, responding hastily.

For her, nothing is more important than mother.Her biological mother, second aunt, entered the mansion early, and now she has lost her color, and she has no son under her knees, so she was disliked by her father.In the autumn house, there are some aunts who make things difficult for her, and some young aunts who exclude her, and her father has always been indifferent, so Qiu Baishao beats the little one and lives with her mother.

At this time, Qiu Baishao wouldn't be so anxious if her father was critically ill, but she was the only mother who gave birth to her and raised her and loved her dearly, and she was also the only relative in her eyes.

If even the only pillar fell down, Qiu Baishao might not be bothered to struggle in this palace.

She followed the moment that Melo had bought for her, and hurried back home. On the other side, Melo was also accompanied by Qiu Shi, and everyone went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother.

Along the way, Qiu Shi was unhappy, "Princess, the side concubine is so vicious, why do you help her, and you have worked hard for the court judge, so you won't be afraid to become...Mr. Dongguo."

"She didn't do me any harm after all." Melo was a little dizzy due to the jolting carriage. She gasped and leaned on Qiushi's shoulder, frowning impatiently.

"Look, how anxious she was when she heard that her mother was seriously ill. She looked like a different person. It can be seen that she values ​​filial piety."

"So what?" Qiu Shi took a wet handkerchief, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead distressedly, while fanning her to cool off.In the hot summer day at noon, the carriage was so hot that even she found it unbearable, let alone the concubine who was still ill.

"People who value filial piety can't go bad." Melo closed her eyes, her tone was weak, "What's more, she is her, her mother is so innocent. The old man is old, if he can't even see the only child before he dies, It's a pity to leave. I helped her today, which is considered a good deed, and I hope that my mother will be taken care of by someone in the future."

Qiu Shi sighed, "Princess, you are so kind. But because of her troubles, today's medicine is too late to drink, how can your body take it?"

Mello smiled and didn't speak. She closed her eyes and concentrated on getting over the nausea in her chest.
