The next day, after Leng Yu was settled, Luo Lan hand-drawn a drawing and gave it to Ayu, instructing him to go to the copper foundry in the city and make a chamber pot according to her drawing.

For Leng Yu's dignity, she designed a drawing of a chamber pot with a small mouth and a big butt for him, so that he could solve it by himself when needed. This would save him from always feeling embarrassed.

After sending Ayu off, Mrs. Zhang from the kitchen came. She bowed and said, "Princess, there is not much food left last month. We have no rice, oil, and noodles at home. There are also some seasonings that we should buy."

Already."

It was really raining all night. Seeing that there was not much money left in his hand, and he was about to run out of food, Luo Lan frowned and asked:

"How much silver do you need?"

"If you buy enough food for a month, it will cost about one hundred and fifty taels."

One hundred and fifty taels?

Luo Lan took a breath of cold air. He just took away three taels for Ayu, and now there are only thirteen taels left, which is enough to last for three days!

She frowned and waved her hands:

'I understand. I'll ask Ah Hong to send you the money later. After you buy it back, you can just hand the account to her for review.'

Mrs. Zhang bent down and saluted, then stepped back and left.

For the first time, Luo Lan felt that life was so difficult. Such a large palace seemed so majestic to outsiders. Who would have thought that the people in the palace would even have problems with food and clothing?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, but life had to go on. Let's go back to Leng Yu's place to pawn something. This rice and noodles are always indispensable. Otherwise, what else would Leng Yu eat with so many people in the house?

Something nutritious.

She rubbed her forehead vigorously, thinking about how she could continue with her life.

At this moment, Caifeng hurried in and shouted loudly:

"Princess, there is a child outside looking for you. He said his name is Xiaozhi."

Small blog?

Luo Lan didn't want to think too much and quickly asked Caifeng to pass him in.

After a while, Xiao Zhi ran in dusty, with tears on his face. After entering the house, he gasped and shouted,

"Sister, please help my mother, she...she's going to die from pain."

Hearing this, Luo Lan quickly came to Xiao Zhi. She bowed and patted his shoulder, asking softly, "What's going on? Speak slowly."

"My mother... while she was eating, she started to have a stomachache again. The pain was excruciating. She said... let me come to you. She wants to see you."

Luo Lan suddenly had a bad feeling, and she said to A Cai behind her:

"Go to the prince's door and tell him that I have something to do and I will be back soon."

After saying this, she took Xiaozhi's hand and hurried out of the door.

Prince Tangtang Yu's palace was so poor that they didn't even have a carriage, so they could only trot to Xiaozhi's house.

When they arrived at Xiao Zhi's house, Luo Lan was out of breath, but Xiao Zhi didn't look tired at all. He impatiently took Luo Lan's hand and ran towards the house, shouting,

"Sister, come on, why is my mother silent?"

Luo Lan was also in a hurry. She only had time to put her hands on her knees in the yard and take a few deep breaths before following Xiao Zhi and running into the house.

When she saw the moaning woman on the bed, she suddenly felt a sad feeling.

Xiaozhi has already fallen beside her,

"Mother, mother, sister is here, sister is here!"

After hearing this, the woman forced herself to sit up. Her face was pale and she seemed to be exhausted.

Luo Lan came to her side, looked at her pale face, leaned over and asked:

"Where does it hurt? Point to me?"

The woman pointed her finger at her lower abdomen and whimpered weakly with half-closed eyes:

"Here...here...hurts..."

Luo Lan said to Xiao Zhi:

"Help your mother lie down and I'll show her..."

The woman suddenly grabbed her hand and looked at her with longing eyes, "Girl, I know you come from a wealthy family and you are a good person. I beg you, if I can't survive, please let Xiaozhi stay with you.

Just give him food to eat..."

"mother…"

Xiaozhi burst into tears suddenly, "Mom, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying at home, I'll be with my mother..."

"Xiao Zhi... good... mother... mother... I can't do it anymore!"

After saying this, she closed her eyes in despair. Luo Lan frowned and said in a sharp tone:

"Stop talking. No matter if you can do it or not, you have to let me take a look. Xiaozhi, help her lie down."

Xiao Zhi heard this and hurriedly helped the woman lie down. The woman's body was twisted in pain. She said to Xiao Zhi in a weak voice:

"Go out and wait. If mother leaves, you will recognize this sister, follow her from now on, and listen to her words, do you understand?"

Xiaozhi nodded heavily while crying, "Mom, don't worry, you won't die. This sister will definitely cure you."

After saying this, he turned to look at Luo Lan, his legs softened, and he knelt down directly.

"Sister, please save my mother, Xiaozhi is willing to act like a cow or a horse to repay my sister!"

"Go out! Watch the door. Don't let anyone in before I go out. Don't waste any time."

Luo Lan's face looked a little ugly. Judging from the position of the woman holding her belly, she must have had chronic appendicitis that turned acute. If not treated in time, it would easily perforate. If it were later, it would be difficult for the gods to cure it.

Seeing that her tone was a little anxious, Xiaozhi didn't dare to be vague, so he hurriedly ran out and closed the door.

At this time, the nearby neighbors had surrounded the yard of Xiao Zhi's house. When everyone saw Xiao Zhi, they kept shaking their heads and sighing. They had known about Xiao Zhi's illness for a long time. They heard that she was not alive anymore, so they came over one after another.

They all wanted to help the mother and son.

After Xiaozhi left, the woman had passed out from the pain. Luo Lan quickly opened the operating room passage and checked the woman.

The facts were as she expected. After her examination, she found that the woman had acute appendicitis. This is not a big problem in modern society, but in ancient times when medical treatment was scarce, this disease can cause pain to death and even kill people.

She had to operate on the woman quickly.

Without thinking too much, she began to prepare for the operation...

The people waiting outside looked at Xiaozhi kneeling on the ground and crying non-stop. They all shook their heads and felt sorry for the child. At the same time, everyone spontaneously began to collect money to prepare for Xiaozhi's mother's funeral.

Xiaozhi knelt in front of the door, crying and praying, praying that his mother would not die.

But he knew that his mother was really in trouble this time. Although he was very scared, he also tried his best to stop the tears that kept falling, but the tears just kept falling...

Time passed little by little, but this originally simple operation became serious due to Xiao Zhiniang's delay. It took Luo Lan a full hour to complete the operation.

Looking at the sleeping little Zhiniang, Luo Lan finally breathed a long sigh of relief. After giving her an intravenous drip, she put away the operating room.

Thinking that it would be impossible for Xiaozhi to take care of the patient alone, she felt that she should go back quickly and let A Hong and A Cai take care of this woman. That guy Leng Yu was still waiting for her at home, so she did not dare to delay any longer.

But when she opened the door, she was really frightened by the scene outside. There was a group of people standing in the yard. Some of them were sawing, doing carpentry work, and some were building sheds. The moment she opened the door, everyone

They stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Xiaozhi was still kneeling there. He looked at Luo Lan with expectant and timid eyes, and choked with sobs.

"Sister, my mother..."
