Chapter 447: Chapter 443: Dislike for Kids_1
Yingbao looked out of the carriage window and saw a man and a woman running toward her carriage carrying a ragged bamboo basket.
The guard quickly intercepted them, shouting out loudly, “Who are you! Move away!”
Yingbao blinked and when she saw their faces clearly, she called out to the outside, “Let them come over.”
Then, the man and woman ran to the side of the carriage.
The woman wailed, “Please save my child, he has been bitten by a venomous snake.”
With that, she thrust the bamboo basket in her arms to Yingbao.
Yingbao glanced down and said to Magnolia, who was with her in the carriage, “Bring him here, let me take a look.”
Magnolia hurriedly carried the basket into the carriage.
Yingbao saw the baby’s small face turning pale gray, she sighed and told the man and woman, “Your child is very ill and it may be difficult to cure.”
The woman and the man knelt down in unison and kept kowtowing, “Please help him, even if we have to work as oxen and horses in our next life we’ll repay you.”
The corner of Yingbao’s mouth twitched and after a long hesitation, she nodded, “Alright, but if he does not survive, you must not blame me.”
“Of course.” The two kowtowed again, “If you do not trust us, we are willing to become your slaves and serve you for the rest of our lives.”
“Alright. Get up, we still have to move on.” Wei Zhan order the horse to trot along, “Just follow us from behind.”
The two nodded and went off to walk with the servants.
Yingbao poked her head out of the carriage and said to one of the court eunuchs, “Let them stay in the carriage at the back that carries miscellaneous items and don’t allow them to get off unless necessary.”
The eunuch agreed to her orders and ran to execute it.
Yingbao then took a closer look at the baby and administered a little Five Ding Zhi.
The child in the bamboo basket seemed to get a little better, even opened his eyes to look at Yingbao.
She touched the baby’s small face and played with him, making the baby smile.
Yingbao picked him up and whispered softly, “From now on, you will be my child.”
Magnolia sat by her side without making a sound.
The baby laughed even harder and made babbling sounds.
At night, the caravan entered an inn to rest.
Yingbao was led by the innkeeper, Wei Zhan, to a courtyard.
Magnolia, carrying the baby in the bamboo basket, followed them.
Then, Palace Maids, Xinghua, Qiu Xiang and He Xiang, came to serve Yingbao for washing and bathing.
Yingbao also gave the baby a bath in passing.
Wei Zhan asked displeased, “Why do you keep him at your side? Wouldn’t it be the same to hand him over to the maids?”
“It’s different, I find him very adorable, and plan to adopt him as my godson.” Yingbao answered while holding the baby and playing with him.
Wei Zhan: …
He secretively glared at the baby after washing his face and hands. However, catching his glare, the baby thought it was a game and laughed out loud.
At night, when Wei Zhan went out to check on the condition of his parents, Yingbao put the baby next to her and whispered to Xuanwu, “Help me see if there’s still any poison in this child.”
Xuanwu snorted and unwillingly said, “The poison has not been completely eliminated, didn’t you notice his little face is still black?”
“How to eliminate the residual poison?” Yingbao asked.
Xuanwu indifferently said, “Bathe him in the Holy Spirit Water every day. After thirty days it can completely remove the poison.”
In fact, Yingbao’s blood could have also immediately detoxified, after all, her body was reshaped by the divine beast Xuanwu’s essence and blood, but Xuanwu wouldn’t tell her that. Once she realized that her own blood could detoxify, she would undoubtedly think of that drop of golden blood.
Xuanwu didn’t want to give its flesh and blood to a mortal.
Yingbao: “Then give me a small basin of Holy Spirit Water now.”
Xuanwu grunted, “It’s under your bed, you get it yourself.”
