Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

In the end, her mother and Yu Xiuming laughed out loud, not trying to hide their happiness at all, and ended the topic this time. They were afraid that their daughter/Xiao Yu would get angry and embarrassed, which would be bad, so they better behaved themselves, otherwise the child would not be polite to them.

People far away in Jinling naturally also received Mo Ruru's reply. When Zhou Qingyun saw the news that Wang Shiyu was about to get engaged, he felt a little disappointed and even a little violent, but he quickly suppressed it because he knew that this was unreasonable and the other party didn't even pay attention to his feelings.

After all, he is not a heartless person. After more than a year of companionship and getting along, his heart naturally fell there, in that small courtyard. It’s just that they were all young at that time, so he didn’t have any thoughts in this regard. As he grew older, he naturally realized his dirty thoughts, and he naturally wouldn’t disturb them, but there was still some regret that it didn’t go as he wished. Even when he thought of this matter, he was always a little heartbroken. After all, it didn’t go as he wished.

If he had argued against the emperor's marriage, he might have succeeded, but he had no power and he couldn't protect the girl at all. He even knew Wang Shiyu's character very well. If he got close to another girl, Wang Shiyu's cold personality would probably make her turn around and leave. He just couldn't do it.

But now that he has power, he is no longer qualified to own her. This is ultimately an unsolvable problem, so Zhou Qingyun knows what he wants. If he cannot have both, then he will choose the power in his hands. After all, power is the only thing he can grasp now, so he has to hold on to what he can grasp first.

Finally, he went to the warehouse and selected some things for Wang Shiyu's coming-of-age ceremony, as well as gifts to celebrate her engagement. However, because he was busy, he had to have them delivered. Zhou Qingyun even secretly added one of his personal items to the dowry list, and in order not to arouse suspicion, he even removed the old silk thread and replaced it with a brand new one.

And just after he had picked out the things and prepared them, he was really walking on thin ice. He arranged for someone to send them to Jizhou City directly. At that time, something happened at home again. In the Rui Wang Mansion, Zhang Qianqian was beating her daughter with a small bamboo stick for some unknown reason. When someone came to report, the child was said to have been beaten to the point of losing her life. The people below saw that things were not going well, so they quickly arranged for someone to go to the palace to tell Zhou Qingyun. After all, their prince was just a blind man.

By the time Zhou Qingyun got the news, the child had been beaten to the point of being on his last breath. Even Zhou Qingyun was a little frightened after knowing the news. After all, he had never actually seen Zhang Qianqian lose her mind.

The little girl didn't have a real name, her nickname was Jia Jia. When she saw Zhou Qingyun coming with people, Zhang Qianqian was obviously stunned for a moment, and the bamboo pole in her hand shook for a moment. She couldn't help but think of what Zhou Qingyun said that day. The little girl lying on the ground unconscious, her eyes blurred from crying too much, was looking at her. The brother who had never gotten along with her was walking towards her angrily, but Zhang Qianqian didn't think she had done anything wrong, and even hurriedly apologized to her son for interrupting her while she was teaching her daughter a lesson.

"Hey, who is this? Isn't this the proud eldest son of the Rui Palace? How come he is here today?"

Zhou Qingyun looked at the little girl lying on the ground, who was breathing in less than she was breathing out, and felt a little helpless. She really couldn't imagine that this child actually lived such a life. She even refused to stop after being beaten like this. If she hadn't seen her coming, this woman would probably have continued beating her.

He signaled the people beside him to pick up the child and planned to take him directly to the palace to see the imperial physician. He looked at Zhang Qianqian, who showed no remorse at all, with a cold look, so cold that the coldness in his eyes could even freeze Zhang Qianqian to death.

He turned around indifferently and left. At this time, Zhang Qianqian realized that she had hit the child too hard, so she did not stop Zhou Qingyun from taking the child away. She felt that it would be the same as before. Every time after she hit the child, King Rui would take the child away for treatment and then send him back.

Zhou Qingyun did not follow them back to the palace directly, but came to Prince Rui's study. He felt that even if the girl was in a hurry, she would not waste this little time.

Prince Rui already knew that Zhang Qianqian was beating the child, but he believed that his concubine would definitely not really beat the child to death. She was just hitting the child a few times. What could it matter to the child?

Therefore, Prince Rui didn't care about this matter at all. When Zhou Qingyun came, he realized that something was wrong. He couldn't accept the fact that Zhou Qingyun was allowed to leave the palace and return to the palace with such a cold expression.

These days, Zhang Qianqian's attitude towards him has taken a 180-degree turn. She no longer beats or scolds him as before when they met, but these past two days she has started to speak to him gently and considerately. So he always thought that Zhang Qianqian is no longer the same person she used to be, and has slowly begun to change.

Zhou Qingyun looked at his father and didn't say much. He just explained that he would take Jia Jia to live in the palace. As for his concubine, he would deal with her by himself and Jia Jia would not be sent back.

"Father, I will take Jiajia to the palace to raise her. If she continues to stay in the Rui Palace, I don't think she will see the sun tomorrow. Since father doesn't care about this child, I think father won't say anything if I take her away. Goodbye!"

Without giving King Rui a chance to reply, he just took the child away. He didn't appear to be in a hurry, but he was still anxious in his heart. The child had been in a state of unconsciousness since he held him.

Little Jiajia, covered in mud, leaned in Zhou Qingyun's arms, feeling like she was dreaming. She did not faint, but was relieved. She always thought that she would die today. At that time, she thought that it would be good if she died, and she would not have to suffer in the future.

Did she really escape from that wolf den? Would she never be beaten again?

The little child didn't know what this meant, but she knew that her brother would definitely not hit her. As long as she was hardworking and obedient enough, that was enough.

When Zhou Qingyun went out and took the child to his bedroom, the imperial physician was already waiting for the child in the bedroom. He started treating the child as soon as he arrived.

These imperial doctors all knew what to do and what to say. When they were treating the child, they looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to believe that this was their own eyes. They held their breath for a long time before finally discussing and writing out a prescription, a life-saving prescription. The child's injuries were too severe to be treated slowly, so their life had to be saved first.

Then, the pediatric expert who was most suitable for treating children gave the child an acupuncture, which temporarily saved her life. Perhaps because he had been treating children all the time, he had a special kind of care for them. Doctor Xia finally couldn't help himself and told him the child's condition directly.

“Your Highness, this child is too young. Because she has suffered multiple heavy blows, her spleen is damaged. Even if she is cured now, her life span will be affected. She is too young and her kidneys are not fully grown. She cannot be cured even with medicine.
