Gu Qing could only temporarily order her men to stop administering the medicine the doctor had sent. She was thinking about how to find the right moment, or at least how to get a message out to the outside world...
The only person who can help her now is Chen Zhizhou outside.
However, ever since the last incident with Pei'er, even after she left the Chen family and returned to the Gu family, Chen Zhizhou never showed up.
With his mother like this at home, no one outside knew what Chen Zhizhou's situation was...
This time, Gu Qing really did what Aunt Liu said. He was so anxious that his voice became hoarse... he could hardly speak.
"The back door of our house will be opened at noon tomorrow. Noon is the time when vegetable farmers come to deliver vegetables to our house and the maids go out to buy them." After Gu Qing finished speaking, she coughed violently several times. She couldn't help but pounded her legs hard, and her throat was hoarse, dry and itchy.
At first she thought she was suffering from a heart attack, but the pain came on with great force.
Gu Qing also sensed something was wrong.
Cui Ru checked every piece of food sent to the eldest lady's room one by one, even the medicine that Gu Qing was sure must have problems, and found that there was no problem!
"This is not right, how is it possible?" Gu Qing sat in front of her mother's bed with her chin in one hand. She fed the water in the cup into her mother's mouth, her eyes full of worry.
Mother Gu was so ill that she was even more unconscious at this moment, but she was still mumbling Gu Qing's name...
"Qing'er...Qing'er..."
Gu Qing nervously sat up and quickly moved closer to her mother. She held the back of her hand tightly with one hand and replied with tears in her eyes, "Mother, Qing'er is here. Don't be afraid, mother. Now that Qing'er is back, no one will dare to bully you anymore."
She took the handkerchief from Cuiru's hand and gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from her mother's forehead.
Gu Qing had a headache and didn't know what to do.
But at this moment, a report came from outside.
Mu Xin is here!
"The princess is here!" the servant called out.
The maids in the room all lowered their heads.
As soon as Mu Xin entered the room, she looked around. Seeing Gu Qing sitting on the bed and about to get up, she hurriedly said, "It's okay. You and I are so familiar with each other. Why are you being so polite? Come and sit down."
Gu Qing took a casual glance and was surprised to find that among the maids who came with Mu Xin today, there was one who was particularly tall...
The maid was wearing a veil on her face, which was really strange.
"I will go and make tea for the princess."
The maidservant of the Gu family had just opened her mouth to say this when Mu Xin waved her hand and ordered her, "We girls are just talking about personal matters. You all should go down."
Even though Mu Xin acted like this, none of these maids showed any intention of retreating.
Seeing this, Mu Xin was furious. She turned around and glanced at the accompanying servant: "The Gu family is truly incredible. Now their achievements have surpassed their masters. Doesn't even my words have any influence in the Gu family? How dare a mere maid act like this?"
"I dare not. I am just afraid that if we all leave, we will not be able to serve the princess well. So we will leave now..."
They did go out, but they just walked out of the bedroom and stood outside the door.
Gu Qing was even more furious when she saw this. She clutched her handkerchief tightly in one hand and said in a hoarse voice, "It's really amazing!"
When he heard her hoarse voice and it sounded like she was about to lose her breath, Mu Xin immediately realized that something was wrong and frowned in worry.
Mu Xin turned back and glanced outside the door, then sneered, "Tell them to leave this courtyard! What filthy things are they? How can they listen to my private affairs? If anyone dares to disobey, they will be killed without mercy!"
Mu Xin's order was very effective.
Now the yard is finally quiet...
Gu Qing looked at Mu Xin and forced a smile, a bitter smile mixed with a hint of helplessness: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Xin'er."
Before Mu Xin could say anything, the veiled maid standing behind Mu Xin walked over quickly. She took Gu Qing's wrist and placed her hand on her pulse.
This move made Gu Qing stunned at first.
However, she felt the familiar warmth from that hand and immediately understood everything.
Chen Zhizhou took off his veil, his deep eyes filled with concern for her. "It's only been a few days, Qing'er, how did you become like this?"
Not long after Mu Xin entered the room, she covered her nose with her hand and asked in confusion, "Isn't Madam Gu sick in bed? She's not feeling well, yet she's still using such pungent incense..."
At first, Gu Qing was still wondering what went wrong.
In her panic, she checked all the suspicious items, but neglected the incense.
Mu Xin's words just now caught Gu Qing's attention.
Chen Zhizhou moved as swiftly as the wind. He quickly extinguished the incense in the incense burner, and then gently stirred the ashes in the incense burner with his hand to take a look.
"Why do you come in dressed like this? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Gu Qing looked at Chen Zhizhou with a smile in her eyes. As she spoke, her nose felt sore and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
She didn't know why, but as soon as she saw Chen Zhizhou, her anxiety and helplessness disappeared completely.
It seemed that after seeing Chen Zhizhou, she felt inexplicably confident.
In the face of all difficulties, no matter how difficult they are, there is no need to be afraid!
"Something happened in the Chen family... Today, the Third Prince was also ordered to be under house arrest. It was said that voodoo and sorcery items were found in his mansion, and His Majesty's birth date was also pasted on it." Chen Zhizhou looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated when he spoke.
Gu Qing had a smile on her face just now, but after hearing what Chen Zhizhou said, she suddenly looked confused and her expression gradually became nervous!
It is very unusual to find such things in the prince's mansion!
Not to mention that Li Xiangsheng has recruited countless powerful officials in the court. Judging from the current situation, everything is harmful to the third prince.
However……
Chen Zhizhou has long been tied to the third prince's lineage.
No matter what, they had to find a way to keep the Third Prince safe. Otherwise, once Li Xiangsheng took power, they would all be dead.
It seems that they have not made a choice, but they have already made the decision invisibly.
Once something starts, there is no turning back.
"I'm going out for some fresh air. This incense is really giving me a headache. You guys take your time chatting." After saying this, Mu Xin waved her hand and gave a look to the other maids around her.
Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou were the only ones left in the room. They both looked towards Mother Gu lying on the bed...
