At that moment, Gu Qingtong told Qin Chong in detail how she met him and how she had been with him these days. At the end, Gu Qingtong's eyes were red. She looked at Qin Chong, who was curled up in bed in pain, with his legs twitching violently, and sighed again: "Master and Madam, I don't know what Qin Chong has done to offend you. But please consider that he has suffered so much and will probably have to suffer for the rest of his life. Can you please forgive him? Can you please be magnanimous and let him go?"
For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the room. No one spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Qin Chong, watching him huddle in the corner with his chest in his arms in silence. Watching him tremble all over like a sieve. Watching his gray lips twitching and calling out "mother" or "Qingtong"...
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't be afraid..." Gu Qingtong couldn't sit still anymore. She didn't care about being stared at by everyone. She walked quickly to the bed, shook out the quilt and wrapped it around Qin Chong. While taking a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off Qin Chong's face, she said softly, "It's not cold anymore, it's not cold anymore, Chong'er is not cold anymore. It will be warm soon..."
Mei Ya couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She turned her head and gently pulled Zhong Mingwei's hand, whispering, "Mingwei, what kind of poison did he...what kind of poison did he get? Why is it so severe?"
"This is not poisoning, this is probably drug addiction," Zhong Mingwei said in a deep voice, his eyes slid across Qin Chong's grayish-green face and fell on the equally green skin of Qin Chong's neck. He paused, then said, "And he has been addicted to drugs for quite some time, at least a dozen years."
"More than ten years?" Pang Yi was stunned and frowned. "As far as I know, Qin Chong should be less than 30 years old. How could he become addicted to drugs when he was only in his teens? Moreover, he was born in a family of imperial physicians. How could Qin Lu and his wife let him become addicted to drugs?"
"That means Qin Lu and his wife had no way to intervene, or... Qin Chong was no longer in the capital at that time." Zhong Mingwei said slowly.
"Yes, Qin Chong should have gone to Southern Xinjiang at that time, so Qin Chong's drug addiction should have been contracted in Southern Xinjiang," Pang Yi nodded, and said puzzledly, "But I just can't figure it out. He is a doctor, and he has such a family background. How could he not know the severity of drug addiction? How could he allow himself to become addicted to drugs?"
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything else. No one else spoke. Qin Chong suddenly screamed. Gu Qingtong hurriedly hugged him and held his hands tightly to prevent him from grabbing. Zhong Mingwei couldn't bear it anymore. He patted Pang Yi's shoulder and motioned them to go out first. At this moment, Chen Qingxuan rushed to the bed, grabbed Gu Qingtong's arm, and shouted: "Come out with me!"
"Cousin!" Gu Qingtong looked at Chen Qingxuan anxiously and guiltily, "I can't leave!"
"Look at who you've offended!!" Chen Qingxuan had been watching for a long time and had been enduring for a long time. At this point, he really couldn't bear it anymore. The veins on his forehead popped out. He grabbed Gu Qingtong with one hand and pointed at the still frantic Qin Chong with the other, shouting, "I always thought you were a clear-headed person, so I never interfered with your life on weekdays. But look! Look at who you've offended! You're a clean-cut girl, but you've gotten involved with such a drug addict. Don't you want to lose your reputation?!"
"I can't care about so many things! If I...if I don't care about him, no one will care about him anymore!" Gu Qingtong blushed and yelled, "He has no parents! If I don't care about him anymore, he will die!"
