Mu Qianchen held the brocade box in his hand, his bony hands clenching so tightly that it creaked. He ordered Qianli, "Beat him up!"
"yes!"
Qianli really looked down on Lu Qingzhou, saying he had no manly responsibility at all. When he saw Lu Qingzhou walking into the alley, he put a sack over his head and beat him up.
It was night, late and quiet.
A figure came to Gu Yunran silently. Mu Qianchen opened the brocade box and took out a crystal clear pill from it and put it into Gu Yunran's mouth. He also patiently fed her a sip of water.
As soon as Zhuye came in, she saw Mu Qianchen. She opened her mouth in shock and almost dropped the bowl of medicine in her hand.
"Shh!"
Mu Qianchen made a quiet gesture to his lips and said gently, "Don't disturb her."
Zhuye nodded, carefully placed the medicine bowl on the table, turned around and looked towards the door. She found that the maid guarding the door was asleep, and she felt relieved.
He went back to the inner room and asked, "Why did Master Mu come here at this time?"
She saw the brocade box on the table and asked in surprise, "What is this?"
"Life-saving pill."
Zhuye was shocked. "The Fourth Master also went to the palace to beg for mercy today, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager didn't even want to see him. I heard he was severely beaten."
"Master Mu must have put in a lot of effort to get this thing."
Mu Qianchen didn't answer her, but said, "Take good care of your wife."
After saying that, he turned and left, but when Zhuye turned around, he saw a large red patch on his back, which was blood.
"Master Mu, you are injured."
Zhuye kindly reminded him, but Mu Qianchen had already disappeared.
But just as he got outside, he felt a piercing pain in his back. Qianli hurried forward and asked worriedly, "Master, how is your injury?"
Mu Qianchen gritted his teeth: "This little injury is nothing."
Qianli muttered, "The Queen Mother was really cruel. She had you beaten like this. She is using public power for personal gain and settling personal grudges."
Mu Qianchen didn't care: "She is just venting her anger for Princess Pingyang."
"Master, your back injury is too serious. Let me apply some medicine to you."
After sitting in the carriage, Qianli began to apply medicine to Mu Qianchen. The moment he lifted up his clothes, even Qianli, who had experienced many serious injuries, frowned deeply.
The back was covered with whip marks in all directions, the skin was torn and the blood was visible inside. The master's injuries were much more serious than he thought.
Qianli's eyes were red and his voice was choked. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. However, he had already secretly taken note of this in his heart.
The second day.
Gu Yunran finally felt better. The high fever had subsided and there was finally some color on his face. He finally woke up after being in a coma for two days.
Zhuye wiped her tears happily, "Madam, you are awake."
She brought the millet porridge that had been cooked long ago, first helped Gu Yunran sit up, and then began to feed her mouthful by mouthful.
"Madam, please have some rice porridge."
Gu Yunran opened her mouth and found that her lips were very dry and her throat was very sore. She took two bites and couldn't eat anymore.
Leaning on the soft pillow, Gu Yunran sighed: "My body is really not doing well. A little cold almost killed me."
"Madam, you don't have a cold, you're poisoned." Zhuye put down the bowl and sighed, "And Doctor Mu said it's a very rare white wood poison."
"The person who poisoned you is truly an expert. Imperial Physician Mu said that doctors with lesser medical skills couldn't diagnose you. If you hadn't caught a cold and caused the poison to break out early, you wouldn't have been able to recover by then."
Hearing Zhuye's words, Gu Yunran's face turned pale and her heart trembled violently. She thought of how she fell ill at the age of 35 in her previous life and was about to die. She originally thought that it was caused by overwork, but now it seems that someone had secretly poisoned her.
No wonder, no wonder, she is about to die at such a young age.
Holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her whole body was trembling. The evil of human nature was even more cruel than she had imagined.
"Where's Taohua?" she asked, but when she opened her mouth she found her voice was trembling violently.
"She went to see the doctor who treated you two days ago," Zhuye said. "Taohua suspects that the doctor poisoned the medicine he prescribed for you."
"Probably not." Gu Yunran seemed to have the answer in her heart. She said to Zhuye, "Bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I want to write a letter to my father."
"good."
Gu Yunran stood up and got out of bed. She was still a little weak. With Zhuye's support, she walked to the desk and sat down, forcing herself to write a letter.
She handed the letter to Zhuye and said, "Later, give this letter to Chen Mo and ask him to deliver it to the Prime Minister's Mansion." After a pause, she reminded him, "Don't let anyone see it."
Zhuye knew the letter was very important when she heard it. She hid it in her sleeve and said, "Madam, I understand."
"Madam," Yuling came in at this time, carrying ginseng soup, "I heard that you woke up, so I made some ginseng soup for you to nourish your body."
Zhuye took the ginseng soup and said, "I'll serve my wife. You can go out first."
"Yes." Yuling held the tray, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Madam, how do you feel now that you've woken up?"
"Is there anything else that's making you uncomfortable?"
Gu Yunran glanced at Yuling, looking thoughtful. Zhuye said, "Madam has just woken up and is still weak, but Doctor Mu said she should be fine."
Yuling breathed a sigh of relief: "Amitabha, Madam, you are kind-hearted and will surely live a long life!"
