Chapter 7: Saving Zhao Momo
Yunli and Yingtao returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the evening, they went to Qionghua Courtyard to visit Zhao Momo.
The Qionghua Courtyard was in a dilapidated state. It was located in a small courtyard at the foot of the hill behind the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was in a remote area, overgrown with weeds and wildflowers. The entire courtyard was less than ten square meters. The wooden door had a big hole in it, and it looked like it would fall down at any time.
Just by looking outside, Yun Li could tell that it might be even worse inside. Yun Ran and Su Meixian had deliberately locked Zhao Momo up here to let her die.
As we approached the gate, there was indeed a young man squatting at the gate. He looked young, about ten years old. When he saw Yingtao coming, he quickly stood up and came to greet her.
"Sister Taohong, you're here. Why are you here so early today?"
"Yeah, I'll bring Miss over to see Zhao Momo."
The servant looked at Yun Li in surprise. "Miss?"
"Yes, this is the Third Miss."
"Oh, I'm here to meet the Third Miss!"
After saying that, he would salute Yunli.
"No need, you just stand guard at the door and remind me if anything happens. We'll go in and see Zhao Momo."
"Yes, Miss, don't worry! Go quickly, don't take too long, otherwise I'm afraid someone will see it and tell the lady."
"good"
The two pushed the door open and walked in. They smelled a strong odor at the door, a mixture of feces and urine. There was only a bed, a table and a chair in the room.
The old woman on the bed was about fifty or sixty years old, but her hair was completely gray and a lot of it had fallen out. Her eyes were closed tightly and her face was pale and bluish. If it weren't for the slight movement of her chest, she would have looked like she was dead.
Yun Li walked over and pulled Zhao Momo's arm out from under the quilt. She placed her fingertips on her pulse and pretended to touch her sleeve. She took out a small flashlight from the space and opened her eyes to look at it.
"Miss, let me feed Zhao Momo the medicine first, otherwise it will get cold."
"Don't feed her anymore. This medicine won't help her at all! It'll only make her worse!"
"Ah? How could this happen? Is Zhao Momo going to die..."
Yingtao looked at Zhao Momo on the bed, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she was about to cry while talking.
Yun Li ignored her, but took out a needle and gave Zhao Momo acupuncture on her head. Soon Zhao Momo's head was full of needles.
She did not tell Yingtao that the medicine Zhao Momo had been taking for a long time had problems. She also found out that Zhao Momo had Bai Ku poison in her body after taking her pulse. The medicine Yingtao picked up included a white leaf that could stimulate the toxicity of Bai Ku poison. Long-term use could paralyze a person's nerves. This was also the reason why Zhao Momo had been in a coma.
It is possible that Yingtao fell into the trap when she was looking for a doctor for Zhao Momo... This person is either Yun Ran or Su Meixian, no matter who they are, these two people can't escape!
Giving Zhao Momo acupuncture could only force out part of the poison in her body. The Baiku poison had already penetrated deep into her internal organs, especially her lungs, which were half rotten. In addition, she had been malnourished for a long time, and her body was seriously deficient.
She would have to nurse Zhao Momo for a while, and when her health was up to par, she would have to perform surgery on her to remove the rotten lung, and then slowly nurse her back to health. Otherwise, Zhao Momo might not live long. Even if she tried her best, she could only keep her alive for two or three years, at most...
"Miss San, please come out quickly, someone is coming this way..."
The doorman outside anxiously reminded
Yun Li quickly pulled out the needle, thinking about who could be here at this time? Yun Ran was under house arrest, and she couldn't think of anyone else except Su Meixian.
He quickly changed Zhao Momo's pulse and made her pretend to be dead. After doing all this, he dragged Cherry, who was still in shock, out of the house. It was too late to go out, so he hid at the side of the yard and squatted down. The weeds covered her and she couldn't be found if she wasn't paying attention.
Yingtao recovered from her shock. How could her daughter know medical skills? She looked very professional when she was giving Zhao Momo acupuncture and taking her pulse just now... She grew up with her daughter, how could she not know that she could treat people...
Just as she was feeling depressed and puzzled, Yun Li saw through the gaps in the weeds that it was Su Meixian who came into the yard. She was accompanied by a maid and a nanny, and behind her were four guards holding lanterns. The four guards were waiting at the door. Su Meixian went into the house with the maid and the nanny.
"Shh, don't make any noise, just hide here, I'll go over and take a look"
Yunli whispered to Yingtao
Cherry covered her mouth, her eyes wide open like bells, and nodded repeatedly.
Yunli quietly moved from the bushes to the window at the back of the yard, spitted a little, and used her fingers to gently tear the paper covering the window.
Inside the room, Su Meixian stood at the door, covering her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Momo beside her:
"It stinks, that old woman! Go check if she's dead or not. If she's not, give her this medicine!"
The nanny took the medicine, walked to the bed with a look of disgust, stretched out her hand to feel Zhao Momo's nose and sniffed.
"Madam, Zhao Momo is dead! Judging from her appearance, I'm afraid she's been dead for two or three days..."
Su Meixian was surprised. "Dead? What's that guard doing? He didn't even come to report to me? What bad luck! Did you look carefully?"
Momo nodded and said: "I have looked carefully, Zhao Momo is indeed dead. If you don't believe me, please come closer and take a look. She is no longer breathing."
Su Meixian frowned, looking impatient: "It would be best if he died, so that I could save all the medicine. Okay, let's go... Send someone to set fire to this yard, it's really unlucky!"
Yun Li, who was watching all this from outside the window, had a sharp gleam in her almond-shaped eyes, and the anger in her heart had reached its peak.
Su Meixian walked out of the courtyard with a look of disgust on her face. When she reached the door, she looked at the servant and asked, "Zhao Momo is dead. Why didn't you report it to me?"
The servant was shocked: "I didn't know Zhao Momo was dead..."
Su Meixian snorted coldly: "Humph, you should know what the master said. This lady has not been here today!"
"Yes! I know!"
After saying that, he left with his maid and his mother-in-law in a high-handed manner.
Yunli came to the bushes and said to Yingtao: "Go back to Wutong Courtyard first and clean up Zhao Momo's room! I'll take Zhao Momo back with me!"
"Ah, Miss, how are you going to take care of it by yourself? I'll go with you."
"No need, I have my own way. Go back quickly, they are going to set this place on fire!"
Cherry looked at her mistress with a serious face. Although her mind was full of questions and worries, she didn't say anything. She just believed in her mistress.
After Yingtao left, Yunli quickly went into the house and put Zhao Momo into the space with a wave of her hand.
Without waiting for the guards to set the fire, she took a piece of paper from the space, lit it with a lighter and threw it on the bed. The flames spread quickly and soon the quilt on the bed was on fire.
She went out, approached the boy, handed him a bag of change, and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Feng Zhu, and I cannot accept this money, Miss! Zhao Momo helped me before, and I will always remember it."
Yun Li looked at Feng Zhu, who was an honest man and not greedy.
So he asked, "Would you like to follow me from now on?"
The servant looked up with a look of shock. After a moment, he said, "I am willing to follow the Third Miss!"
"Well, I'll let Cherry come to see you in a few days."
"cherry?"
"Cherry is rosé!"
"oh oh……"
Without waiting for Feng Zhu's reaction, Yun Li disappeared into the night.
