Chapter 604: Shall We Return to Beijing?
On the bunk bed, Lu's mother was unconscious. On the small couch, Mu Qing's face not only did not improve at all, but seemed to be even darker than before.
"Who poisoned him? If it wasn't the Zhou family, could it be..." Hu Xin'er paused halfway through her words, and a very terrifying guess emerged in her mind.
If the prince frees up his hands to take revenge on their Lu family, what should they do?
Could it be that the prince's men have already sneaked into the Lu residence, ready to poison their food at any time?
Could it be that the prince has a part to play in the worsening of Lu's mother's condition?
You know, compared to the blatant pursuit before, the poisoning now is more torturous.
Dying bravely and decisively is far less despairing than watching your loved one die in pain without medical treatment.
This is also very consistent with the prince's sinister style, and Hu Xiner had a terrifying idea.
Could it be that the prince wanted to watch Lu Yunjue watch everyone around him die in pain because of him?
"It must be him." Lu Yunjue also thought of this. He uttered these words from between his teeth, and clenched his fingers hanging at his sides into fists, even making a cracking sound due to excessive force.
"What on earth do you want to do—" He suddenly rushed out of the room, his voice rising from low to high, and roared at the people around him, somewhat out of control: "Come out, come out right here! Nangong Jin, if you have any grudges, just come to me, why are you hurting my family?"
The voice disappeared in the air, no one responded, only the gusts of cold wind that chilled my heart.
He punched the tree next to him hard, and the trunk shook.
Hu Xin'er had been trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, but now she couldn't hold them back any longer. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears kept falling down: "Yun Jue, forget it..."
"Sister-in-law, this is all my fault." Lu Yunjue choked up, "It's all my fault for being so useless."
Hu Xiner slowly closed her eyes, letting the tears flow from the corners of her eyes. She gasped for breath and couldn't say a word.
"The eldest young master has woken up!" the servant reported hurriedly.
When she stepped into the room again, Hu Xiner stared blankly at Mu Qing who was barely standing up. She seemed to be in a dream, her steps were light and she couldn't step on solid ground.
"Xin'er, what's wrong?" Mu Qing asked worriedly. He wanted to get up and pick her up, but he didn't have the strength. He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
He ordered, "Why don't you help the young lady quickly?"
The servants woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly surrounded Hu Xiner, but their eyes when they looked at Mu Qing were complicated.
The servants' eyes were filled with pity and sympathy... This made Mu Qing keenly aware that something was wrong, and his heart became heavier.
When he vomited blood, he knew that something bad was going to happen. Now that he saw everyone's eyes, his guess became even more certain.
Lu Yunjue stood at the door, not daring to come in.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Qing asked pretending to be calm, but his hands were shaking slightly.
"Husband." Hu Xiner walked to the bed and started crying as soon as she opened her mouth. Tears couldn't stop falling.
Mu Qing held her in his arms distressedly: "I'm here, what's wrong?"
Hu Xiner grabbed the clothes on his chest and burst into tears.
Mu Qing frowned and looked towards the door.
Lu Yunjue avoided his gaze and quickly turned back. Although he didn't shed tears, his eyes were red and he looked dejected.
Even his back, which had always been as straight as pine or cypress, was now slightly bent.
Miss Du was standing behind him, also lowering her head to avoid Mu Qing's gaze.
Hu Xin'er sensed the heavy atmosphere and managed to stop crying: "Husband, you scared me. How do you feel now?"
She didn't want to tell Mu Qing the bad news so soon.
Mu Qing, however, had already sensed an ominous aura from the slightest clue. He subconsciously pressed his aching abdomen, and despite enduring the pain, he coldly asked the servant, "What exactly happened while I was unconscious? Tell me quickly."
The servant was stared at by him, and his knees gave way as he knelt down, saying in a trembling voice, "I... this humble man... after the young master fell unconscious, the young lady called in a doctor."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Hu Xiner's face.
Mu Qing gently patted Hu Xin'er's back, used his eyes to stop her from saying anything, and then said in a deep voice to the servant, "Go on."
"The doctor said that you have been poisoned and will not live long. There is no cure!" The servant gritted his teeth and said.
Hu Xin'er couldn't help crying again. She hugged Mu Qing's waist tightly and said, "Husband, don't be afraid. We have so many herbs. We will go back to the capital to find Doctor Dou immediately. He will definitely be able to cure you!"
Although Mu Qing had guessed the result, he was still stunned when he heard the news in person.
His consciousness seemed to be pulled out of his body in an instant. He didn't know how long it was before he was awakened by Hu Xiner's crying.
"Husband, don't scare me. What's wrong with you?" Hu Xin'er patted his face. Mu Qing didn't respond to her calls just now. She was really panicked.
Mu Qing gently stroked her back: "It's okay, I'm fine."
Lu Yunjue and the others wisely left, leaving the couple a chance to be alone.
Hu Xiner buried herself in Mu Qing's arms and burst into tears. She couldn't speak a complete sentence, but just kept saying that she wanted to go back to the capital.
After crying enough, she wiped her tears and stood up: "Doctor He's medical skills are not very good. He can't even diagnose what kind of poison you have. Let's set off for Beijing now!"
Mu Qing held her back and called out softly and helplessly, "Xin'er."
When Hu Xin'er met his gaze, she felt a pang in her heart, tears streaming down her face. "Mu Qing, you are such a good person, why does God have to be so hard on us?"
Why is it that every time their lives seem to be getting better, God always throws them down to the bottom?
It was like this in Shuangxi Village before, and it was also like this after arriving in the capital. When he arrived in Qingzhou and saw the two brothers' identities exchanged, Mu Qing no longer worried about his appearance.
He was poisoned and there was no cure.
After hearing her question, Mu Qing slowly smiled bitterly. How could he know such a thing?
But even if he was just guessing, he could guess who did it.
"Are the Crown Prince and his men chasing us?" He asked with a frown, "If I return to the capital now, will I fall into their trap?"
In Qingzhou City, they have the help of the Du family, and the court is looking for Nangong Jin everywhere. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Even if Nangong Jin, who is on the run, has a powerful backup plan, he may not be able to resist the power of an entire city.
In other words, they are relatively safe in Qingzhou City. At least the prince cannot attack them openly and can only poison them secretly like he is doing now.
But what if we leave Qingzhou City?
