Chapter 362 Siqi's Strange Disease
Mo Yunzhu nodded and said, "Although I don't want to acknowledge my ancestors and know some of the things that happened back then, I can still meet my mother's close friends to see what my mother's vision is like.
After all, we have to be on guard against fire, theft and best friends. I have to help my mother to find out whether this best friend is real or fake."
The corner of Eunuch Song's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt that it seemed impossible to use Chu Qiaoxin to threaten Mo Yunzhu.
This woman doesn't even want to trace her ancestral roots, so why would she care about her best friends?
How cold-hearted!
It seems that I still have to rely on poison to make her surrender. But seeing how good her spirit is and how energetic she is even when arguing with others, this poison will not be ineffective, right?
Eunuch Song stood up and said, "The imperial physician is unable to cure Gu Siqi's illness, so we have to rely on you. They are waiting inside, so I will not go in. You can talk about the past first."
Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows, then nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Song."
"Miss Mo, as long as you can help the emperor relieve his pain, and even better, help him detoxify, everything else will be easy." Eunuch Song said slowly.
"What if I want to kill a few people?" Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"That depends on who he is. Generally speaking, there is no problem." Eunuch Song looked at Mo Yunzhu dimly.
Mo Yunzhu nodded and suddenly smiled.
"Eunuch Song is indeed a man who can accomplish great things."
Eunuch Song was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Miss Mo should not be underestimated."
Having said that, he waved his hand and left.
As soon as the door opened, Chang Teng rushed over immediately, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Mo Yunzhu was fine inside the door.
"Chang Shiwei, you don't have to worry about your eldest daughter. Eunuch Nian, please ask Chang Shiwei to go to the courtyard for tea. Miss Mo will need some time."
Eunuch Song said this with a smile and left.
Eunuch Nian agreed and took Chang Teng into the yard and sat in the hexagonal pavilion. This time a servant came out to pour tea.
After seeing Chang Teng sit down, Mo Yunzhu walked towards the inner hall.
Soon, a carved wooden door opened and a head popped out.
Mo Yunzhu saw a middle-aged face. Although her complexion was not very good, it could not hide the fact that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
Her temperament is like that of a lady from a noble family, and she is also very pretty and beautiful. She is indeed the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor.
When Chu Qiaoxin saw Mo Yunzhu walking towards her, she was stunned at first, then surprised, and slowly her expression turned into shock, and her pupils seemed to be shaking.
The door was opened, and Chu Qiaoxin immediately stepped over the threshold and ran over, then grabbed Mo Yunzhu's arms with both hands.
"You, you are the little princess?" When Chu Qiaoxin saw Mo Yunzhu's face, she almost instantly recognized that she was the daughter of her best friend and Xiao Feng.
Although she married to Pingyang County before Princess Kun had any children, she knew about Princess Kun's pregnancy when she got married.
After the tragedy happened, the prince consort Xiao Feng immediately fled the imperial capital with the little princess in his arms, and his whereabouts were unknown. Not long after, she received news that the prince consort had died at the border of Qingyun, which made her think that the little princess was also dead.
During that time, she cried every day and was heartbroken about what happened to her best friend's family. As her best friend, she could not help at all.
I want to go back to the imperial capital, but I can't. Every day is like a year.
Mo Yunzhu could see the sincerity and surprise in Chu Qiaoxin's eyes.
It seems that she doesn't even know she is alive.
Mo Yunzhu nodded, but didn't know what to say. She was really not good at this kind of situation.
Chu Qiaoxin suddenly hugged her and started crying.
Mo Yunzhu lay motionless in her arms, feeling the endless sorrow emanating from the woman.
The door was opened again, and Mo Yunzhu saw a gentle and elegant middle-aged man standing and looking over here.
His mature face was full of sadness and heartache, but he still nodded at Mo Yunzhu and forced a smile.
Mo Yunzhu knew that he was Chu Qiaoxin's husband Gu Qiyun.
Considering that this man gave up his career as an official for Chu Qiaoxin, it is clear that he is also a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty.
Chu Qiaoxin was already crying so hard that she was out of breath. Mo Yunzhu could feel her body getting weak and could only say, "Aunt Chu, everything is over. Don't be too sad."
Chu Qiaoxin said incoherently: "I'm sorry to your mother, and I'm sorry to you, little princess, wuwu..."
"Aunt Chu, let's talk inside." Seeing that she was about to lose her balance, Mo Yunzhu immediately reached out to support her.
Gu Qiyun ran out immediately when he saw something was wrong and supported his wife.
"Xin'er, you're not feeling well. Don't be too sad. Let's talk inside."
After a lot of effort, the two of them helped the extremely sad Chu Qiaoxin in and sat her down. Mo Yunzhu looked around but didn't see their daughter Gu Siqi.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Chu, where is Sister Silin?" Mo Yunzhu knew that Gu Siqi was two years older than her.
Gu Qiyun wiped Chu Qiaoxin's tears and said in a hoarse voice: "Siqi is lying in the room. She can no longer speak."
Mo Yunzhu nodded and said, "I'll go in and take a look." Then she went straight in.
Chu Qiaoxin was greatly shocked but also very anxious. She wanted to stand up and follow, but as soon as she stood up, she swayed a few times.
"Xin'er, don't be anxious. The little princess is here and won't leave. Just take your time." Gu Qiyun felt sorry for his wife and rubbed her back to help her relax.
Mo Yunzhu actually didn't know how to get along with Chu Qiaoxin, so coming in first was a way to ease the awkwardness.
When she walked to the bed, she saw a pale and painful little face.
It really is a small face, the size of a palm, with delicate and beautiful features, but it is extremely thin and looks very sick.
Mo Yunzhu noticed at a glance that her neck was swollen, and her throat made gurgling sounds from time to time, as if she had phlegm.
Gu Siqi had been hearing the noises outside, and also heard Mo Yunzhu coming in. She widened her eyes and looked at the young woman who appeared in front of her.
"Woo..." The woman's beautiful eyes lit up. She wanted to say hello, but she couldn't speak and could only make a slight sound. Her breathing seemed to be unsmooth and her face turned painful again.
Mo Yunzhu immediately said softly, "Sister Siqi, don't say anything. Let me help you first."
As he spoke, Mo Yunzhu sat down and took her pulse.
Her arms were very thin, her body was very weak, and she was suffering from severe malnutrition, which might be related to her inability to eat.
"Can you only drink liquids now?" Mo Yunzhu asked.
Gu Siqi nodded and pointed to her neck.
After taking her pulse, Mo Yunzhu gently pressed her neck a few times and found a bulging lump inside.
Gu Qiyun, who was outside, had already walked in. Seeing Mo Yunzhu checking her daughter, she immediately said, "Siqi didn't have this thing before she was sixteen. This thing appeared suddenly. It was not big at first, but it is getting bigger.
She was able to eat before, but has been getting worse in the past six months. She can't eat anything at all and can only eat liquid food. Now she even has trouble speaking. We took her to see many doctors, but they were all helpless and didn't know what disease she had.
Gu Qiyun's voice was filled with pain. Seeing her beloved daughter suffer like this, as a parent, she wished she were sick herself.
"This should be a throat tumor." Mo Yunzhu frowned and said. This disease is naturally very tricky. If the tumor is benign, it is fine. If it is malignant, there is no way to save it. The process of dying is also very painful. In the end, it is almost like suffocation due to foreign objects blocking the throat.
