Chapter 785, Jixiang Tower

After returning to the capital, Qi Baoer did not go back to his hometown or the Ministry of War first, but first went to a place called the "Jixiang Tower" in the west city of the outer city.

Jixianglou, translated in modern terms, means an orphanage.

This is the masterpiece of the queen from a hundred years ago who Qi Bao'er suspected had traveled through time.

Every city in the entire Qilin Kingdom has an auspicious building to take in abandoned babies or children who have nowhere to go.

Of course, having one auspicious tower in each city cannot prevent the appearance of little beggars on the streets; but it has to be said that the existence of auspicious towers has indeed saved a lot of people.

Twelve and the Shadowless Army moved very quickly. On the way back to Beijing, Qi Baoer received the news that they had sealed off the medical center, arrested everyone in the medical center, and rescued boys and girls and sent them all to the hospital.

News from Jixianglou.

Jixiang Building in Beijing was unusually busy today. It had been a long time since Jixiang Building had accommodated a hundred children at once. No, it should be said that Jixiang Building had not had a hundred children at the same time for several years.

The reason will be discussed later.

Because there are few children sent here, there have not been many staff in Jixiang Building over the years, and there are exactly ten stewards, so today a hundred children are sent here at once, which makes them busy. Even the stewards are busy.

I personally went to bathe the children.

No, not only did Qi Baoer not receive a warm reception when he came in, he was also completely ignored by everyone who was rushing in and out.

Little Coconut came out of a room carrying an empty bucket, and finally saw his master, who was supposed to have a strong presence.

"Your Majesty, good luck."

"Get up, how are the children?"

At the mention of this, Little Coconut's face showed a trace of unbearability.

He said: "Those people did not treat these children as human beings. They were all locked up in a basement. The basement was not big. The children could only live close to each other, eating, drinking and urinating.

.

Almost every child has various injuries on their body, whether they were whipped or burned by something, new or old, and some children can hardly see a good piece of flesh on their bodies.

There are also a few older girls..."

Afterwards, Little Coconut felt that she was already a cold-hearted person and could not continue to speak.

"What a sin."

Qi Baoer's eyes turned cold, "Have you invited the doctor?"

"Reply to the prince, they have already been invited. Twelve sent the children here. At this time, the servant went to invite the doctors from Baoren Hall and Baohe Hall. The doctors are now treating the seriously injured children there.

"

At this time, the room that Little Coconut had just come out of was opened again, and an acquaintance walked out of it holding a little girl.

"Princess Binghua?" Why did this girl come here?

Princess Binghua was not surprised to see Qi Bao'er. She already knew that the children sent here today were all saved by the wise king from the thieves.

"Bao'er, you're here."

Qi Baoer nodded and asked, "Why are you here?"

While waving her hand, she signaled Little Coconut to go on her own. She had already seen that Jixiang Tower was seriously short of manpower.

Princess Binghua directly carried the little girl to Qi Bao'er, "I have nothing to do in Beijing, and I don't want to deal with those hypocritical people. My mother suggested that I come here for a walk. After I came here, I found that I’m very happy here.”…Looking at the children’s smiles, no matter how depressed I feel, they can gradually dissipate.

Of course she, a dignified princess, would not come to Jixiang Building to be a volunteer. She has a bunch of servants around her who can help her with any work. She just comes here to have fun with the children here.

Princess Binghua shook the little girl in her arms, moved closer to Qi Bao'er and whispered: "Bao'er, this is the daughter of the prefect of Tongcheng."

Although the wife of the magistrate of Tongcheng and Princess Binghua could not be considered true confidants, they had frequent exchanges. They were the only people whom Princess Binghua was barely close friends with when they were at her husband's house.

Magistrate Shen and his wife are strange in this world. They do not favor their son but their daughter. Mrs. Shen even takes her little daughter with her wherever she goes.

Therefore, Princess Binghua recognized the little girl at a glance.

Qi Bao'er was really startled when she heard the news, "Who do you think she is?"

"The youngest daughter of Shen Huaiqing, the prefect of Tongcheng."

After finishing her words, Princess Binghua didn't know what she was thinking, and added: "Prefect Shen only has one son and one daughter."

After confirming that this was the answer, Qi Baoer turned his attention to the little girl in Princess Binghua's arms.

However, the little girl is now very dependent on the Princess Binghua she knows, and is obviously timid and afraid of people other than Princess Binghua. She is hugging Princess Binghua's neck tightly, and her body is still trembling slightly.

Princess Binghua apparently also discovered the little girl's condition, smiled apologetically at Qi Bao'er, and hurriedly hugged the little girl and left.

But before leaving, she left a message: "Bao'er, Magistrate Shen's son is seriously injured."

Qi Baoer: "..."

Good guy, it’s all served in one pot.

After learning that a child was seriously injured, Qi Baoer originally planned to go see these children, so he did not change his route and go in the direction pointed by Princess Binghua.

The layout of Jixiang Building is a bit like a restaurant, except that you enter the courtyard first, with a three-story building in the middle, and a garden behind the building.

She was now on the corridor next to the lobby on the first floor, and Princess Binghua was pointing to the stairs to the second floor.

After going up the stairs, there was no need for anyone to guide me. Looking to the right, I saw that there were several people who were obviously doctors coming in and out of the rooms at the end.

There are two rooms here where seriously injured children are kept.

Although the house is only two rooms, it looks very small. The Jixiang Building is used to house orphans. Each room here is quite large. There can be ten beds arranged side by side in one room. That is, a large house of dozens of square meters with a total of twenty beds.

The doctors also didn't pay much attention to Qi Bao'er's arrival.

Twelve who were watching here came over and reported: The beds in the rooms on both sides were almost full of children, and a total of thirty-seven children were seriously injured.

Of course, the serious injuries suffered by children are different from the serious injuries suffered by skilled people like them. They are mainly caused by disgust or fear, and most of them are not life-threatening.

There are only three children, two boys and one girl, who are really in danger.

One of the two boys is about four or five years old, the other looks to be about ten years old, and the girl is the youngest, looking to be only two or three years old.

The important point is that the boy around ten years old is related by blood to the girl in the arms of Princess Binghua.

The three children have all fallen into a coma, and three old doctors are treating them with silver needles at their bedsides.

Qi Bao'er didn't stay here for long, and left after making sure that the children's lives were not in danger.

As soon as I walked out of Jixiang Tower, I didn't expect to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, who was coming in a hurry.

"Why is Your Highness here?" She was a little confused.

You're not here to spread love like Princess Binghua, are you?

"What do you think?"

I don't know if it was his own misunderstanding, but Qi Baoer actually heard a hint of grievance in His Highness the Crown Prince's words.
