"I have already told the prince. The prince has sent people to prepare according to your instructions. He also specifically asked me to come back immediately to protect your safety."
Luo Jiuli nodded and said no more.
"Little sister, how is the child?"
Luo Jiuli said:
"My body is full of redness, swelling and blisters. Although I have treated it, in order to avoid inflammation and infection and high fever that persists, I still need someone to look after me overnight."
"So serious?"
Luo Yuanliang frowned.
Luo Jiuli smiled bitterly and said:
"In such a big fire, he is lucky that he did not die in Jiang Mansion."
"Moreover, the child had been wet before escaping. I don't know the specific reason. It was precisely because he was wet that he escaped."
Next to him, Nan Xing said:
"Master, I just asked about the woman."
"What did she say?"
Luo Jiuli raised his head and looked at the woman not far away, who was rubbing her hands back and forth, hesitating in her steps, and her face was still in shock.
"She said that she and her son Shitou, the child that the master just treated, both work in Jiang Mansion. She specializes in serving the mistress's courtyard. Her son Shitou works in the second courtyard where the hall and Jiang Fengnian's study are located.
Waiting in the yard."
"Before the Jiang Mansion escaped today, she escaped because she went out to fetch ylang-ylang for her mistress to wipe her face with."
When Luo Jiuli heard this, he turned to look at Nan Xing.
"Ylang-ylang?"
Nanxing nodded.
"Yes, it's ylang-ylang, and my subordinate asked specifically. What she went to get for her mistress was the latest popular butterfly series."
"Oh!"
Luo Jiuli snorted coldly.
"My husband's body is still cold, but as a wife, she still thinks about dressing up. This thing is getting more and more interesting."
"Go and bring her over. I have something to ask."
"yes."
Nan Xing leaves.
Luo Jiuli looked at his eldest brother.
"Brother, help take people around to see if there are any injured people who have escaped from Jiang Mansion. If there are any who have not been treated, bring them here too."
Luo Yuanliang nodded and left.
Nan Xing also happened to come over with the woman.
As soon as the woman walked in, she knelt on the ground with a plop.
"My slave, please pay your respects to Miss Luo Er."
Just now, she thought that the doctor who treated her child was really a female doctor. She never thought that this person was actually Luo Jiuli, the second lady of the Duke's Mansion who dissected Mr. Jiang's body in the Jiang Mansion last time.
That time, she was folding paper ingots with a group of humble slaves in the woodshed in the backyard. She was not qualified to go to the front yard to see the grace of several adults and the second young lady. Unexpectedly, today her ancestors appeared and she actually met them.
Miss Luo Er.
And when she left the mansion to go to Yilanxiang today, she saw the vast betrothal procession from the Nine Princes' Mansion going to the Duke's Mansion to carry the betrothal gift.
In other words, today is the day when the Ninth Prince goes to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage, and it is the future Ninth Princess who saves her son.
The thought of the Ninth Prince and the future Ninth Princess being here made her feel uneasy.
"Get up, I have something to ask you."
Luo Jiuli didn't like being knelt down, but these people would kneel down at every turn. If she didn't let them, people would think that the second lady was unhappy, and they would all be frightened.
Therefore, she simply did not force it.
"Thank you, Miss Second."
The woman stood up.
Only then did Luo Jiuli take a closer look at her. She had an upright appearance. If she were young, she would have been a pretty woman. However, due to years of hard work, her face was haggard and her knuckles were thick.
"Your son Shitou's life is not in danger, but in order to avoid inflammation, infection and persistent high fever, I suggest that it is best to put him in a hospital or have someone with medical skills guard him."
When the woman heard this, she raised her head, then lowered her head and then shook her head again.
"My slave has a low status. No medical clinic is willing to treat my son."
Luo Jiuli saw that she was at a loss, and when she mentioned her identity, she felt a flash of inferiority complex on her face, and suddenly felt her heart congested.
How humble his status is, that he is not even willing to treat him at a medical center that can save lives and injuries.
"If that's the case, then I'll do my best to finish this child well."
The implication is that she is responsible for this child to the end.
When the woman heard this, she suddenly raised her head, feeling panic and confusion at the same time.
Then as expected, he knelt on the ground again.
And he expressed his gratitude in tears.
Luo Jiuli rubbed his temples.
"Nan Xing, let her get up."
Nan Xing stepped forward to help her up.
"My master wants you to get up."
The woman then stood up with Nan Xing's hand.
Luo Jiuli looked at her.
"Let me ask you, how many of the servants you know well in Jiang Mansion have escaped? Where was the flooded area in the Mansion first burned?"
The woman shook her head and said:
"I don't know. When I came back, the house was already in flames. Many people who entered the courtyard to wait on me escaped, and those female relatives in the backyard--"
The woman stopped talking, with a sad look in her eyes.
"Do you know all the people who escaped?"
There was a trace of hesitation in the woman's eyes, but she still nodded slightly.
"The slaves have a humble status. Although they all know each other, they don't usually get close to them."
Luo Jiuli frowned. This woman had such a low status that she couldn't help her even if she wanted to.
She originally wanted to ask her some other questions, but the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back.
"Nan Xing, take her to identify people. Everyone who has escaped from Jiang Mansion will be gathered in one place and under guard."
"Remember, no matter men, women, old or young, don't leave anyone out."
"yes."
Nan Xing never asked her master why, she would immediately carry out his instructions.
The woman was taken away by Nanxing to identify her.
Nan Zhu on the side was a little puzzled.
"Master, as for the servants who escaped from the Jiang Mansion, the people from the government office will also gather together to question them at this time."
Luo Jiuli shook his head.
"They don't care. Look at the fire in that mansion."
"This is the inner city. The inner city is full of royal relatives and dignitaries. Beyond the inner city is the imperial city. Once the fire spreads out of Jiang Mansion, do you think it is more important for the people in these government offices to save their heads or immediately?
It is important to find out the cause of the fire."
Luo Jiuli glanced at Nanzhu, and then looked at a group of government servants wearing various official and military uniforms coming from a distance.
"Look at those people again. People from Jingzhao Mansion, Dali Temple, people from the Third Department of the Ministry of Justice, people from the Fourth Department of the Ministry of War, and even the people guarding the city in the outer city have sent troops for reinforcements. What does that mean?"
"It means that the emperor already knows about this and is furious."
After Luo Jiuli finished speaking, he lowered his head and sighed.
