一幅新的画面在蛋壳上方迅速凝聚、清晰：一个鬓发微霜、面容憔悴的老妇人，穿着朴素却整洁的锦缎袄子，怀中紧紧抱着一个软枕，正满面愁苦地在宫墙外一处禽舍的篱笆外徘徊。篱笆内，赫然可见那只神俊的“富贵”正在悠闲踱步。老妇人眉头深锁，不时望向禽舍，又看看天色，那份深沉的忧虑几乎要透过光影溢出来。更引人注目的是，她略显蓬松的鬓角，还沾着几片细小的、青翠欲滴的草屑，正是灵泉苑特有的清心草！
“娘？！”一声难以置信的惊呼，如同被踩了尾巴的猫，猛地炸响在队列前端。
户部尚书王伯安，这位向来以沉稳持重着称的老臣，此刻像是被一道惊雷劈中，整个人都僵住了。他双目圆睁，死死盯着蛋壳上方那清晰无比的老妇人影像，脸上血色瞬间褪尽，又猛地涌上羞窘的潮红。他手中紧握的象牙笏板“啪嗒”一声掉在地上，山羊胡子剧烈地颤抖着，哪里还顾得上什么朝仪体统！
“臣……臣……”王伯安语无伦次，猛地跨前一步，几乎是扑跪在地，声音带着哭腔和一种豁出去的急切，“陛下！陛下开恩！此蛋……此蛋臣愿出百两黄金！求陛下赐予老臣！家母……家母她……”他猛地一指那蛋壳上仍在循环显现的老母影像，痛心疾首，“家母为这夜不能寐之症所苦，已有经年！每夜辗转，总言……总言梦见先帝爷斥责她……斥责她掌管家财太过悭吝！臣……臣心如刀绞啊！”
金銮殿内，死寂被彻底打破。
群臣的目光在王伯安涕泪横流的脸上、蛋壳上那忧心如焚的老妇人影像、以及御座上神色平静的女帝之间来回逡巡，表情精彩纷呈。惊愕、恍然、同情，甚至还有一丝丝压抑不住、觉得荒诞离奇又莫名贴切的笑意。
就在这时，一直安静看着下方闹剧的霜儿，似乎觉得王尚书那激动蹦跳的样子很有趣，小嘴咧开，露出几颗珍珠般的小乳牙。她的小手朝着王伯安的方向轻轻一挥。几点比之前更为明亮、更为凝实的乳白色光点，如同拥有生命的萤火虫，轻盈地飘飞而出，在满殿惊诧的目光注视下，精准地落在王伯安官袍的胸前补子上。
光点如水银般流动、延展，瞬息之间，竟在王尚书的仙鹤补子上方，绣出了一枚小小的、金光灿灿的“孝”字纹章！那金纹虽小，却光华流转，庄重非凡，与深色的官袍形成鲜明对比，熠熠生辉！
“哗——！”这下，殿中的低语再也压不住了。
王伯安自己也懵了，低头看着胸前那突然多出来的、流光溢彩的“孝”字金纹，一时间忘了哭诉，只剩下目瞪口呆。这……这是小公主的神迹？
还没等众人从这“孝子金纹”的震撼中回神，坐在萧景容腿上的泉儿，似乎被姐姐的动作和满殿的喧哗感染，兴奋地拍起了小巴掌。他胖嘟嘟的小手拍着父亲坚硬的玄甲护臂，发出“啪啪”的轻响。随着他的拍打，他掌心处那团肉眼难辨的温润水汽骤然活跃起来。
无声无息间，一道极其清澈、如同流动水晶般的灵泉水线，自泉儿掌心流淌而出，贴着光滑如镜的金砖地面，蜿蜒如蛇，迅捷无比地流向御阶之下。水流过处，留下清晰的水痕，竟在御阶最显眼的第一级之上，凝结成一行笔锋稚拙却异常工整的大字：
“拍卖所得，尽入医学院基金。”
