Chapter 650: Hanging on
Jiang Ning was rescued, and with him also the last glimmer of hope for an antidote.
Mother Lu said silently, "It's all because of me, an old woman, that I've delayed you."
"Mom, please stop saying that." Hu Xin'er forced a smile. "It was Jiang Ning who deceived our relationship. What fault can you have done?"
Seeing that she was still protecting herself at this time, Mother Lu couldn't help but hold her hand. There seemed to be thousands of words flowing in her eyes, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she vomited blood.
Those who originally had some resentment towards Lu's mother were all shocked.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yunjue quickly supported his mother and looked at Doctor He, "Doctor, please treat my mother!"
Hu Xin'er asked in a panic, "Did the powder just now trigger the toxins in my mother's body?"
Seeing such a thing happen at his banquet, Master Du couldn't help but stay out of it. He immediately said, "I'm going to chase them back and force them to reveal the antidote."
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Mother Lu took deep gulps of fresh air. However, the cold air she inhaled into her lungs caused another violent coughing fit.
She trembled and said, "Don't, don't go..."
"Mom, what did you say?" Hu Xin'er couldn't hear clearly, but the others were very skilled in martial arts and had sharper hearing than ordinary people, so they heard the words clearly.
Seeing that Mother Lu insisted on not letting everyone pursue Jiang Ning even in this situation, everyone couldn't help but feel more complicated.
Especially Mr. Du, who has a quick temper.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Mrs. Lu, my words may not be pleasant to the ear, but you are too cowardly. Someone is trying to kill your whole family, and you still sympathize with him?"
Mother Lu coughed intermittently and said, "Everything... is retribution for the wrong person I trusted back then. After I die, don't take revenge on her..."
How can we accept that my mother, who was full of energy and able to walk just now, now looks like she is dying?
Doctor He noticed something was wrong and stepped forward to check the patient's pulse. His face changed drastically: "How, how is this possible? This is a sign of exhaustion!"
Running out of energy? Hu Xin'er said in shock, "My mother was fine when she woke up today! Did you make a mistake?"
Doctor He shook his head, his face very serious: "It can't be wrong."
"No, no!" Upon hearing the bad news, Lu Yunjue supported his mother in his arms.
The blood that Lu's mother spat out soaked his clothes, a scene of sadness and despair.
He looked at Doctor He anxiously: "Doctor He, you are so kind and compassionate. Can you think of a way? You must save my mother!"
Doctor He's face was heavy. "It's not that I don't want to take your order, it's just that I'm powerless. My two young masters, listen carefully to your mother's last words and get ready."
As for what to prepare...it's naturally Mother Lu's funeral!
Hearing this, not only Hu Xiner was on the verge of collapse, but even the people from the Du family couldn't believe it at all.
"Godfather, do you want to try again?" Miss Du couldn't help but say.
She already had a close relationship with the Lu family, and her heart was also with Lu Yunjue. How could she bear to watch them suffer the pain of losing their mother?
Doctor He just sighed and said, "If you don't believe me, feel free to find another doctor."
Miss Du was silent.
Others may not know, but how could she, her goddaughter, not know?
In Qingzhou City, only Doctor He has the best medical skills. He has been practicing medicine for decades and has never missed a case.
An atmosphere of despair spread in the yard. Du's parents couldn't help but shiver in the cold wind and felt sad when they saw Lu's mother, who was of the same age as them, fall into this state.
Mu Qing remained silent. Every time he heard about his mother's serious illness, it was as if his self-protection mechanism had been triggered, and he would become dazed.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Yin Li and asked quickly, "Master Yin, do you have any way to cure my mother's illness?"
Seeing this, Yin Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he tapped his fan heartlessly, "How bizarre! Young Master Lu, who always looked down on me, actually came to me in person one day to beg for help instead of hiding behind a woman."
"Actually..." Hu Xiner was about to speak, but was protected by Mu Qing behind her.
Mu Qing's anxious expression could no longer be concealed, but his tone was firm: "As long as Pavilion Master Yin is willing to lend a hand and rescue my mother, I am willing to agree to any request you make."
Yin Li muttered, "Even if I told you the prescription, it's too late now. I might as well take this opportunity to talk to my dying mother a few more words."
"Hey, why are you like this?" Miss Du was getting anxious and angry. "If you have any recipe, just tell us directly. How do you know we can't gather them?"
The Du family has many friends in the martial arts world. If even the Du family cannot gather all the medicinal materials in the world, the only place they can go is probably the palace.
Although she had not had much contact with Lu's mother before, when she sneaked into Lu's house to chat with Lu's mother, she could feel from her words and actions that she was an extremely kind and benevolent old lady.
Isn't it said in this world that good people are rewarded? She just couldn't believe that Mother Lu would have no chance of survival!
Doctor He had already asked his servants to bring some sliced ginseng, and he carefully let Mother Lu hold it in her mouth to keep her alive. "Although ginseng slices can nourish people, they won't last long. If you really have a solution, you might as well tell me sooner rather than later."
Yin Li snorted coldly, "Even good medicine can't cure a damned ghost. Her illness has already dried up her heart meridians. Only the Dao Sect's most precious treasure, the One Leaf Pill, can cure it."
Miss Du was stunned. "The Dao Sect is extremely secretive. Its whereabouts have long been difficult to track down. Even if they could be found, they wouldn't be able to treat Madam Lu in time... Doesn't this mean..."
She suddenly looked at Lu Yunjue, only to see that the latter's eyes were filled with emptiness and helplessness.
After hearing this, Hu Xin'er and Mu Qing stood there in despair, as if they could not bear the blow.
"No matter what, let's take my aunt inside and let her lie down. We'll find a way to keep her alive first." Miss Du is an outsider and will not be swayed by emotions. Instead, she can better distinguish priorities.
When Master Du heard that what was needed was Dao Zong Yiye Dan, he also showed an embarrassment. At this time, he slapped his head and said, "Yes, Lao He, please see if there are any life-saving herbs that can be used. I will go to the mansion to get them!"
While she sent servants to help move Lu's mother, she led the way to her room.
The water in the room was changed basin after basin, and Lu's mother finally stopped vomiting blood.
She lay in a mess on the bed, with large bloodstains on the edges of the sheets and her clothes.
No one could have imagined that this would be the former mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Hu Xiner recalled that when she first met her, she was so dignified, beautiful and amiable.
