Chapter 412: Vomiting or Poisoning

Looking at Qiuqiu's aggrieved and tolerant attitude, Mei Niang was silent for a long time, but still couldn't help but lose her temper.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you covet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"He is not the same as you! He is in the clouds."

"Do you think his father is really a butcher? He is in trouble."

"If Your Majesty was born and raised in Stone Lane, could he have sat in that position?"

Of course, ordinary butchers can't do that.

Only as the commander-in-chief of the Fu Family Army could he lead the elite Fu Family Army and make people risk their lives to follow him in conquering the country.

"Qiuqiu, they treated you so well, you can't repay kindness with hatred."

Mei Niang's words were harsh, but they aroused Qiu Qiu's rebellious psychology.

"How can I repay kindness with enmity? He was the one who said he would take care of me!"

Qiuqiu's eyes flashed with a look of grievance and accusation, as if the person standing in front of her was not Mei Niang, but Fu Chenan.

Mei Niang was stunned by her self-righteousness, and then she sneered.

"Your Majesty asked me to take care of you. I haven't let you get dirty in Zuihonglou for so many years. Doesn't that count as taking care of you?"

Qiuqiu was stunned.

Of course she knew this was caring.

But she thought that Fu Chenan was worried about her.

"The Fu family has taken over the world. His Majesty will allow you to pick any general in the army and grant you marriage..."

"There are so many girls in Zuihonglou, but you are the only one who has this special honor. Isn't that considered as a favor?"

Speaking of this, Mei Niang seemed to remember something.

"These were all arranged by His Majesty. What does this have to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Qiuqiu was not convinced: "But every time he came to Zuihonglou, he wanted to see me. He also protected me in front of those people..."

Sometimes when there are many people around, he would keep Qiuqiu by his side to cover up and prevent others from flirting with her.

Mei Niang looked at Qiu Qiu in disbelief.

"You've been in Zuihonglou for years, don't you understand these things?"

"He has no romantic feelings for you at all. It's just a relationship between us as childhood friends and neighbors. He's doing his best to protect you..."

"If he really had you in his heart, why didn't he redeem you after he returned to the Fu Family Army?"

"Is the Fu family too poor to redeem it?"

Qiuqiu felt a little guilty: "That's because he is too busy..."

Mei Niang shook her head repeatedly: "That's because you are not the one in his heart at all..."

Seeing Qiuqiu's stubborn look, Mei Niang wanted to drive her away immediately.

But thinking about her being a widow with two children, if she lived alone outside...

Mei Niang couldn't bear it, so she decided to keep her.

I just secretly asked the maids to keep a close eye on her and not let her do anything stupid.

With no one else in the room, Qiuqiu cried unrestrainedly.

She lost her parents when she was young and grew up with her gambling brother, who beat and scolded her every day and often went hungry.

Uncle Fu back then - now the emperor is the most caring neighbor in the entire Shitou Lane.

Seeing that she had nothing to eat, she asked Fu Chenan to give her two steamed buns.

The tall and handsome young man smiled, stretched out his big, bony hands, and handed her a fragrant steamed bun - that was the only light in her gloomy life.

She had longed countless times in her heart to become his bride.

Who knew that she was sold to Zuihonglou by her gambling brother.

She thought her life was hopeless, but who knew Fu Chenan would appear in Zuihonglou again, and would call on her and protect her every time he came...

Her dead heart came alive again.

She knew that after her experience in Zui Honglou, she could not become his legal wife.

It doesn't matter, she is willing to be a concubine or a bed warmer...

But who would have thought that Mei Niang saw through her thoughts and did not intend to fulfill her wish.

Mei Niang married her off.

She had almost given up, but then the short-lived man died again.

She was left helpless again, with two posthumous children.

When Mei Niang took her in to live in seclusion, she was very grateful to Mei Niang.

She lives alone outside, and her gambling brother comes to collect money from her every now and then.

When she heard that the Emperor needed two secret babies to be sent to the palace, she volunteered and even suggested that she could go into the palace and pretend to be a wet nurse.

Unexpectedly, Mei Niang refused again.

The child entered the palace, but she herself could not enter the palace, and had no chance to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

Today, Mei Niang's words were like sharp swords piercing her chest.

She vaguely felt that what Mei Niang said was true, but she was unwilling to accept it.

The boy next door who gave me steamed buns back then has become a famous person. He used to take care of me like that...

He is different about himself!

Just as Qiuqiu was daydreaming, the window was suddenly pushed open and a figure jumped in.

Before Qiuqiu could scream, the man in black covered Qiuqiu's mouth and nose, and the cold blade touched her neck.

"If you dare to make a sound, I will kill you." The low voice was filled with cold murderous intent.

Qiuqiu nodded vigorously, indicating that she would definitely obey.

"Your child has been poisoned?"

Qiuqiu nodded.

"I was the one who poisoned him."

Qiuqiu——struggled hard.

But the man held Qiuqiu's head and body tightly, and Qiuqiu's small body couldn't break free at all.

"I'm here to bring you the antidote."

In one sentence, Qiuqiu was successfully calmed down.

"If you are willing to listen to me patiently, I will tell you the truth." The man's voice was as low as ever.

Qiuqiu nodded vigorously.

The man believed it and really let Qiuqiu go.

Qiuqiu took a deep breath and looked over.

She couldn't see the man's face in the darkness, but she could tell he was not very old, probably no more than thirty years old...

"There's someone outside, how did you get in?"

The man sneered: "Don't worry, they are all asleep. When they wake up later, they will just think that they were lazy and fell asleep."

Qiuqiu was really relieved and brought up the topic just now.

"You said my child was poisoned? Wasn't it cured?"

The man sneered: "Anyone can cure my poison?"

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see if the child will vomit tomorrow."

As he spoke, the man stuffed a packet of medicine into Qiuqiu's hand.

"If the child is vomiting a lot, you can give this to the child to eat, and it will completely detoxify."

Qiuqiu couldn't believe it: "Why should I believe you?"

The man sneered again: "My target is the Crown Princess's child, but who knew that Emperor Tianwu would actually let two innocent babies replace the twins..."

"I don't want to hurt innocent people, so I came here at night to make up for my mistake."

"If you don't believe it, you don't have to feed it."

"I will come back tomorrow to see if your child has really been detoxified. If I find anything unusual, I will not come in."

"You decide."

After saying this, the man climbed out the window and left again.

Qiuqiu clutched the small medicine bag and felt a chill in her heart.

Mei Niang said that the child's poison had been cured, but this person said that the child's poison had not been cured?

Who should she believe?

The answer was revealed the next day.

Both children spit up milk badly.

He only ate half of his usual amount of milk and then started vomiting.

And he spits out large gulps of it like a jet.

The child started crying after vomiting, his face turned red and his voice became hoarse.

Mei Niang came over after hearing the noise, but said, "The doctor said that it was just damage to the spleen and stomach, and it will be fine after a period of conditioning."

She asked the wet nurse to drink the medicine and then pass it to the child.

But the child still vomited after eating.

From morning to afternoon, he vomited four or five times, and the wet nurse was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

"Should we ask a doctor to take a look? Normally, a child shouldn't spit up milk like this..."

Qiuqiu was so anxious that tears kept falling, and there was more and more distrust in her eyes when she looked at Mei Niang.

The child has vomited so much, how could it be that he just has a weak spleen and stomach?

It must be that the poison has not been detoxified yet!

They don’t feel sorry for their children, as they are not their own.

After the child finally fell asleep, she hesitated and trembled as she picked up the medicine bag...
