"The market is open today, new comics are out!"
"Comics? What are comics?"
"You wouldn't know, would you? Miss Hu's storybooks always sell out!"

Chapter 603: No Cure
Before she finished speaking, her face changed drastically: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Qing suddenly pressed his stomach, closed his eyes tightly, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and then his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"Mu Qing, Mu Qing!" Hu Xiner hurried over and took off the mask. She saw that his expression was extremely painful, his facial features were wrinkled, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't utter a word.
As soon as Hu Xiner bent down, she saw him scream and spit out a mouthful of black blood!
This was clearly poison. Hu Xin'er cried out in a mournful voice, "Come quickly, get a doctor!"
Fortunately, Miss Du had not gone far. After seeing this scene, she quickly invited Doctor He over.
Doctor He saw his appearance and sighed repeatedly before he even started to examine him: "Who poisoned him again?"
"Godfather, now is not the time to chat." Miss Du urged, "You should go to the doctor quickly."
After a while, Doctor He said, "There was already residual toxin in his body, and now we don't know what poison he's been exposed to. I'm afraid he won't live long."
The four words "You will not live long" were like a sledgehammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily. No one thought that Mu Qing would be injured so badly.
"What?!" Hu Xin'er couldn't believe it. "Doctor, please take a closer look. Isn't the original toxin in his body non-lethal?"
"The poison he was poisoned with previously was harmless," Doctor He said helplessly, "but the poison he was poisoned with later was extremely toxic. Even if I were to use all my medical skills, I might not be able to save his life."
Hu Xin'er was stunned. She looked at Mu Qing lying on the bed and couldn't believe that the bad news came so quickly.
There was deathly silence in the room.
"No!" Lu Yunjue suddenly said, "Doctor He, please save my brother. He has been in the mansion all day today, how could he be poisoned? If he was poisoned, how could he be the only one!"
Doctor He said helplessly, "If they wanted to poison him, they would naturally find a secluded time to secretly put the medicine in. As for why they only poisoned him, I don't know."
"Godfather!" Miss Du took a few steps forward and said anxiously, "Is there really no other way? Don't we have a lot of medicinal herbs at home? Can't we use those medicines?"
Yes, detoxification!
An idea suddenly struck her, and she pulled out the medicine bottle from her bosom. "Doesn't our medicine cure all toxins? Would it help if I gave it to him?"
Doctor He looked at her speechlessly: "It's someone else's family matter, why are you so anxious?"
He watched coldly from the side, feeling that the Lu family was a disaster. Ever since their family came, Qingzhou City had been in turmoil and there was no peace.
Even the Du family only had a few bottles of medicine in Miss Du's hands. They were kept by her in the past, but she never had the chance to use them. But now, in less than three months, she has used up a whole bottle!
Now Miss Du, a young girl, is actually living in someone else's house. They say it is to protect Miss Du, but in fact, it is not known whether Miss Du will be implicated.
Doctor He contracted an illness when he was young and had no children. The person he loved most was his goddaughter Du Xiaoqin.
Lu Yunjue had been unhappy about Miss Du's repeated rejections.
The Lu family was a fire pit, how could he let his goddaughter jump into it? As for Mu Qing, he really didn't live long.
"Will it even work?" Miss Du stamped her feet anxiously. "This is most likely done by someone from the Zhou family. If the eldest son dies because of me, then I, I won't live either!"
"You're not going to live anymore?!" Doctor He raised his voice. "You, it's fine that you just threw yourself at the second young master, but now you're going to die with the eldest young master, what's that?"
"I, I..." Miss Du was speechless.
Wasn't she doing that to threaten Dr. He?
Lu Yunjue spoke up to help: "Doctor He, don't be angry first. Miss Du was plotted against by the Zhou family last time. Is it the Zhou family who is behind my brother's misfortune this time?"
If it is really the Zhou family, he must kill the Zhou family to get the antidote.
Doctor He snorted, "If the Zhou family had such a powerful poison, they would have long ago become the king of the martial arts world. Why would they bother to fight for territory in Qingzhou? I think this is most likely caused by the Lu family themselves, and has nothing to do with Xiaoqin."
"What kind of poison did my brother get? Please tell me, senior!" Lu Yunjue saw Doctor He's expression and knew he had a prejudice against him. He hurriedly lifted his skirt and knelt on one knee. "I offended Miss Du a lot in the past. I was wrong! Doctor He, please put aside the past grudge and tell me the name of the poison so I can find an antidote."
Doctor He frowned but began packing his medicine box. "I hate it when you guys kneel down in the middle of a conversation. I've said everything I need to say. I'm going back to look through the medical books now. Once I find a prescription, I'll have Xiaoqin bring it over."
He is usually slow and unhurried, but at this moment he was incredibly fast. Lu Yunjue tried to stop him, but he escaped nimbly. It turned out that although he usually kept a low profile, he was actually a master!
Seeing Doctor He's foot greased, Miss Du fell to the ground and said dejectedly, "It's over!"
Her godfather usually did everything slowly, but he was incredibly fast when escaping. He must have been sure that Mu Qing's poison was incurable and was worried that he would be in trouble, so he ran away.
"What does Doctor He mean by this?" Hu Xin'er asked dazedly, "He went back to look up medical texts. He thinks my husband can still be saved, right?"
Miss Du was silent for a while, then she managed to cheer herself up and said, "Maybe."
She was afraid that Hu Xiner would not be able to bear it after she told the truth.
If Mu Qing really died, at least Hu Xin'er could still keep his bloodline.
After she said this, although everyone did not feel relieved, their emotions eased a lot and they had the strength to struggle out of their tension and grief.
"Could it be that the person who sneaked into the mansion today and made my sister-in-law unconscious also attacked my brother?" Lu Yunjue denied his own thoughts as soon as he finished speaking.
He speculated, "If my brother had been attacked, there would have been some noise, but I didn't hear anything. So, it's very likely that the person poisoned my brother's food."
"There's something wrong with the food... Could it be one of the servants?" Hu Xin'er said, her face pale with fear after she finished her guess. "Oh no! He's been staying with Mother the whole time. We need to check her pulse right away."
Miss Du thought for a moment and took out her own detoxification pills. Lu Yunjue happened to see this and whispered, "Let me do it."
He took the detoxification pill and fed it to his brother with some water.
The doctor in the mansion took Mother Lu's pulse. Fortunately, Mother Lu's pulse was normal.
However, no one could laugh.
