This red pill was the life-saving pill given to her by her master before she came to Miss Gu. There were only two of them in the world, and this one was the last one.
Ningxue wrote a prescription according to Gu Yunran's symptoms, and asked the maid in the mansion to boil the medicine. She began to give Gu Yunran acupuncture to stop the bleeding and stabilize the fetus.
Soon, Ningxue's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Wang Po stood by and watched nervously, but did not dare to ask any questions.
"Miss Ningxue, let me wipe the sweat off your forehead." Old Mrs. Wang took a soft towel and gently wiped the sweat off Ningxue's forehead.
After an incense stick of time, Gu Yunran's complexion finally improved.
The pain in her abdomen was also under control, but her face was pale, her lips were cracked and bleeding, and she looked like she had experienced life and death.
At this time, the little maid had already prepared the medicine: "Sister Ningxue, this is the young lady's medicine."
After Gu Yunran drank the medicine, he slept lightly for a while. When Wang Po heard Gu Yunran's even breathing, her heart, which had been in her throat, finally relaxed.
"Amitabha!" She looked at Ningxue and asked, "Miss, should you be okay?"
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise there would be two deaths."
"The child?"
Ning Xue glanced at Gu Yunran's pale face and pursed her lips as she said, "I prescribed medicine to preserve the pregnancy. Whether it can be saved depends on luck."
"I'm glad that Miss is okay." Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears.
It would be better if the child could be kept, but it doesn’t matter if the child cannot be kept, there will be another one in the future. She just hopes that the young lady is safe.
"How could the young lady be poisoned?" Mrs. Wang frowned. "Who is so bold as to poison our young lady?"
"Go and call all the little girls in the mansion."
Anyway, there are only a few little girls in the mansion, so it won’t be difficult to investigate.
"Bring all the food for the young lady today?"
Zhuye's injuries had mostly healed, but her chest still felt like it was being torn apart when she moved. When she heard that Gu Yunran was poisoned, she couldn't wait to get out of bed despite the pain.
She wants to see which little bitch is brave enough to attack the young lady?
Mrs. Wang had someone bring in the food that Gu Yunran had eaten today. Ning Xue checked it one by one and pointed at a few plates of vegetarian dishes and said, "All of these vegetarian dishes have Veratrum in them."
"This Veratrum is cold and poisonous. Be careful when taking it internally. Who came up with the idea of putting it in the dish?"
Ningxue is usually reserved, quiet and taciturn, but when she shows her power, she is so terrifying that even an old maid like Wang Po is startled.
She looked at Ningxue and nodded, worthy of being a girl from the Mu family.
With a thud, a little maid fell to her knees. She was trembling with fear and knelt on the ground crying, "The food that the young lady usually eats is made by this servant."
"I don't know where I went wrong. Miss Ningxue, please enlighten me."
Hearing Gu Yunran waking up outside, she called out weakly. Zhuye was always listening to the movements in the house. When she heard the shouting, she hurried in.
"Help me out."
Zhuye helped Gu Yunran out.
"Miss." Ningxue hurriedly moved a chair behind Gu Yunran, found a cushion underneath, and let her sit down.
When the maid Xiaoqiu saw Gu Yunran, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.
"Miss, I really didn't mean to do that. I didn't recognize Veratrum and thought it was chives, so I put it in the dish. I usually cook like this and nothing goes wrong. I don't know why it went wrong today."
"Every word I say is true. Please verify it, young lady."
The little girl was only in her teens and had just started working in the mansion. She had never experienced any major storms or waves, and when she saw this scene, she was scared out of her wits.
She knelt on the ground, trembling and banging her head. Soon, blood appeared on her forehead.
Mrs. Wang, who was standing by, was completely stunned. This thing was bought by her.
These days she noticed that the young lady had a poor appetite and often suffered from nausea and vomiting. She heard from the older generation that chives could cure vomiting, so she bought chives and put them in the dishes and asked the maid to add some when cooking. Unexpectedly, she bought Veratrum instead.
"It's my fault. I deserve to die!"
After realizing what was happening, Mrs. Wang also knelt down, tears streaming down her face, her face full of shame.
"Miss, this has nothing to do with Xiaoqiu. This thing was bought by this old servant. I thought about you being nauseous and vomiting frequently these past few days, so I thought of buying some chives for you to treat it. I didn't expect to make a big mistake."
"Miss, if you want to punish me, just give me an old slave."
Gu Yunran reached out and pulled Wang Pozi up: "Madame Wang, you get up first."
She paused and said, "Since everything you ate before was fine, but something happened today, it's not your fault. You don't need to blame yourself."
Pulling Nanny Wang up, Gu Yunran looked at Xiaoqiu and asked, "Who else has been to the kitchen today?"
Someone must have changed the ingredients.
Xiaoqiu was terrified, her mind a blur. She shook her head and said, "This has always been the case with Xiaochun and I. Yesterday, Xiaochun's mother fell ill, so Nanny Wang sent her back to visit her family. Today, I'm in charge of the small kitchen alone."
"Xiaochun?" Gu Yunran frowned and told Ruizhu, "Go check on Xiaochun's house."
" yes."
Ruizhu went out, and Mrs. Wang asked in surprise, "Miss, do you suspect Xiaochun?"
"If she did, we'd know if she asked Ruizhu to check."
"It's nothing, you all can go away."
After the maids dispersed, Gu Yunran asked Mrs. Wang, "Did the invitation I sent home yesterday arrive?"
Mrs. Wang poured a glass of water for Gu Yunran and placed it in front of her.
