The woman surnamed Ye stuffed two ingots of silver into Chu Qiao's hands and told her to hurry up and catch the car. Maybe she would have a chance to save Chunxiang when she got to Shouzhou.
"Hey, her mother is still waiting to get her monthly salary." The woman named Ye glanced at Chunxiang, a little regretful.
Chu Qiao didn't do it for money at this moment, but for her conscience. She picked up the horse whip and sat in the coachman's seat. She took a deep breath and shouted loudly. Before the whip could be raised, the horse neighed and ran wildly.
Got out.
After eating, the cold was no longer unbearable. It was already dawn when we arrived in Shouzhou.
When Chu Qiao stopped the carriage, she heard Mingzhu's crying coming from the carriage. She quickly got out of the carriage to take a look, only to find out that Chunxiang was dead.
Chu Qiao quickly grabbed Chunxiang's wrist and touched it, but found that there was no pulse.
"She's dead."
"Dead? What should I do...will I die like her?" Mingzhu was frightened, her little face as white as paper.
Chu Qiao was very sorry. Although she worked hard along the way and almost fell off her seat several times, she still couldn't catch up to save Chunxiang.
"This is Chunxiang's fate." The woman named Ye's eyes turned red and she slowly looked away.
People cannot be resurrected after death, but those who are still alive must seek medical treatment. Mingzhu was also infected and fell ill within a day or two, so she urgently reminded the woman named Ye.
"Hurry up and find a doctor at the hospital to take a look. Mingzhu can't be delayed any longer."
"Yes, find a doctor..." Mingzhu looked at the woman named Ye eagerly, as if everything must be obeyed by her arrangements.
But the woman named Ye was very calm and said coldly.
"This matter cannot be made public or approached by other doctors."
"But I will die..." Mingzhu sobbed.
"You have to hold on even if you die."
The woman named Ye was even more cold-hearted. After she finished speaking, she took out two more silver coins and gave them to Chu Qiao and whispered.
"It's good that you know this. Find a place to bury Chunxiang, and then help me buy some medicinal materials for treatment. We will live in the small inn in front. After these things are done, I will give you some
More silver, but if word gets out, watch your head."
"this?"
Chu Qiao took the money. It seemed that this trouble was coming to her, and she couldn't push it away even if she wanted to.
However, the words of the woman surnamed Ye made Chu Qiao even more certain that not only were they from the palace, but they were also traveling secretly, not wanting anyone to know their whereabouts.
If you can establish a relationship with them, you may be able to find a chance to enter the palace.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take care of things. As for Mingzhu's illness, I will take good care of it." Chu Qiao nodded in agreement.
The woman named Ye then took the baggage and the pearl to the inn.
Chu Qiao drove the carriage outside the city and found a hillside. She was going to dig a pit, but it was freezing cold and the ground couldn't be dug, so she had to bury Chunxiang in the snow.
"I have tried my best. I blame you for your bad luck. I hope you can be reincarnated and live a long life and be a carefree person."
After burying Chunxiang, Chu Qiao went to the drug store to buy medicinal materials. In addition to Rehmannia glutinosa and Scrophulariaceae, she also unexpectedly saw purple snow lotus. Her uncle said that this stuff has miraculous effects in treating lung diseases. Because it is rare, it is very expensive. Chu Qiao
She had to give the four ingots of silver given to her by the woman named Ye to the boss to buy these medicinal materials.
After returning to the inn, Chu Qiao learned that the woman named Ye was also infected. Her symptoms were more obvious. Not long after entering the inn, she could not get up.
"You must save me..." The woman named Ye grabbed Chu Qiao's hand.
Seeing that she was so ill, Chu Qiao felt guilty and did not dare to hide it anymore. She lowered her head and said regretfully.
"Actually...I, I'm not a doctor. I just...know a little bit about medical skills. I said that on the way just to survive. I'm really sorry. I'm going to find a decent doctor back now to treat you."
Just when Chu Qiao stood up to go out, a woman named Ye stopped her coldly.
"can not go!"
"Hey, do you understand? I'm not a doctor. I can't help you. If you don't find a doctor, you will die." Chu Qiao didn't know what to say. Did she not want to die?
