Chapter 278 Mother and son were poisoned
She had barely finished speaking when Qing'er clutched her stomach and began to wail, calling out incoherently, "Mother~ it hurts~ it hurts~"
Little Mianmian, nestled in Granny Zhuang's arms, quickly reached out to Qing'er, "Brother~ Brother~"
Madam Wu held Qing'er in her arms, her face full of worry, and said, "She was fine when we went out this morning, so why does her stomach hurt now?"
Du Wanchun quickly stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and call Doctor Xu right away."
She quickly got up and went to invite Doctor Xu over.
When Doctor Xu arrived, Madam Wu was also clutching her stomach in great pain.
"What's going on?!" Doctor Xu exclaimed, his face turning pale at the sight before him.
He quickly knelt down to take the pulses of the mother and child.
After a while, Doctor Xu's face gradually turned pale.
Wu Niangzi suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Aunt Zhou quickly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe her face. Having seen much in the palace, she immediately guessed what was going on. "Doctor Xu, are Madam Wu and this child poisoned?"
Doctor Xu quickly prescribed two medicines and handed them to Granny Zhuang, saying, "Quickly, go and decoct these medicines!"
Granny Zhuang placed the children in the cradle, took the prescription, and quickly replied, "I'll go right away."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Holding her child in her arms, with red eyes, Madam Wu asked Doctor Xu, "Doctor, is it really poisoning?"
Dr. Xu didn't answer directly, but instead frowned and asked her, "What did you and the child eat today?"
Madam Wu thought for a moment and said, "Today, Qing'er and I are eating the same food as everyone else, except..."
Doctor Xu quickly asked, "But what?"
Madam Wu's eyes were glazed over as she thought about the day's events. She slowly said, "But today, that young lady invited us to a restaurant and treated us to two cups of tea."
Doctor Xu was taken aback. "It seems the poison was put in the tea."
Despite the pain, Madam Wu was completely baffled. "I have no grudge against her, why would she poison me and my child?"
Dr. Xu shook his head.
He asked Aunt Zhou to stay here and take care of him and his son, and then he called Du Wanchun out himself.
Seeing that no one was around, Du Wanchun said to Doctor Xu, "Doctor, just say it directly, there's no one here."
Doctor Xu sighed and said, "It's a deadly poison with no cure. It won't kill you immediately, but will slowly rip your intestines out and kill you. It seems that person was determined to take the lives of that mother and child."
Du Wanchun frowned and asked him, "Is there really no cure?"
Doctor Xu nodded. "Yes, although the two of them only have abdominal pain now, the poison has already entered their hearts, and there is basically no cure."
He had barely finished speaking when a loud bang came from the doorway.
Wei Xun has returned. He had just entered the courtyard when he heard Granny Zhuang say that Madam Wu had been poisoned. Now, hearing Doctor Xu say this, his face turned pale instantly, and he trembled all over.
“Brother Wei?!” Du Wanchun turned around and looked at him.
Wei Xun strode up to Doctor Xu and asked, "Really? Is my wife's poison really incurable?"
Dr. Xu, with his back to him, nodded, his voice filled with helplessness, "Yes, that's right."
Wei Xun quickly added, "No medicinal herbs were used? What about the medicinal herbs from the palace?"
Dr. Xu shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xun strode towards Madam Wu's room, then picked her up and hurriedly headed outside.
Du Wanchun stopped him, "Brother Wei, where are you taking her?!"
