Yunzhu was completely stunned after hearing the conversation between her mother and the family physician.
Shouldn't it be Yunzhi who was poisoned? How did it become her? She clearly took advantage of Yunzhi's unpreparedness to poison her, so how did it end up on herself?
Yunzhu panicked and immediately fell to the ground at Xu Shi's feet, hugging her legs and crying out, "Mother, Mother, save me, save me!"
She had seen Madam Xu use this thing before, and it had harmed many women in Yun Cheng's harem. It was precisely because she knew how dangerous this thing was that she asked Madam Xu for it.
Originally, she intended to harm Yunzhi, to make her wither away like the women in Yuncheng's harem. But unexpectedly, she ended up harming both herself and others.
"Zhu'er, I have no antidote, I can't save you." Madam Xu's face was full of grief, and she was filled with regret.
"How could there be no antidote?" Yunzhu looked at Xu Shi in surprise. How could there be no antidote for this poison? If that's the case, wouldn't she just have to wait to die like the concubines in the mansion before?
She was still young, unmarried, and didn't want to die.
Therefore, she pleaded with Madam Xu again, saying, "Mother, go find the person who gave you the poison; she should have the antidote, right?"
"Me?" Madam Xu looked troubled. The person who gave her the antidote was long gone; where could she find it?
At this moment, the physician suddenly spoke up, saying, "Madam, Miss, there is something I'm not sure if I should say."
"you say!"
"It's like this, I just took your pulse and found that you were indeed poisoned with Beauty's Lament, but the effect is much stronger than before. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be able to detect it when you've just been poisoned. In the past, it would take at least half a month to find out. But now, I detected it right after you were poisoned. Could it be that the person who poisoned you increased the potency of the medicine?"
The physician's words struck the mother and daughter like a thunderbolt. They exchanged a glance, and a name flashed through their minds.
Thinking of Yunzhi, Madam Xu could no longer sit still. She said to Yunzhu, "Let's go and settle accounts with Yunzhi."
Yunzhu stood up, not even having time to change her clothes, and followed behind Xu Shi towards Yunzhi's villa.
When the two arrived at the villa, Yunzhi had not yet returned. At noon, Yunzhi had lunch at the Regent's Palace. After lunch, she didn't rush to leave but rested at the palace for a while.
Yunzhi was not at the mansion, and the servants dared not let the two of them in, so they kept them outside.
Xu was furious as she looked at the tightly closed door. She had come to confront Yunzhi, and now she was being made to wait outside. She was absolutely enraged.
As for Yunzhu, she was naturally angry as well. However, she was more afraid than anything else; she was afraid that if Yunzhi didn't give her the antidote, her life would be over.
However, she couldn't understand how Yunzhi knew she had poisoned her, and how she managed to put the poison back into her body.
Time passed slowly, and the mother and daughter, who hadn't had lunch, were both angry and hungry, yet dared not leave.
Finally, they waited for Yunzhi's carriage to return.
Upon seeing the carriage, Madam Xu rushed down and blocked Yunzhi, who was preparing to return to her residence.
Fortunately, the carriage wasn't going fast, otherwise they probably would have crashed into it. Even so, because the carriage suddenly stopped, Yunzhi bumped into the side of the carriage and hurt herself.
Therefore, she lifted the carriage curtain somewhat unhappily and looked outside.
When she saw Xu standing in front of the carriage, her face instantly darkened, and she said coldly, "What are you doing here again?"
