C48 Poisoned

From the manor, Mu Ruqing helped Mu Ruxuan suppress Lau Fenglan. Yu Longzi naturally noticed her and sent someone to give her a double embroidered beauty fan. After learning that Lau Fenglan also had one, he played a little trick and destroyed Lau Fenglan. In her heart, she was even more pleased with herself. Mu Ruqing's fan had long been burned. Mu Ruxuan did not know that Yu Longzi treated everyone the same, so she felt that she was the most special.

Seeing Mu Ruqing and Mu Ruxuan getting closer, Lau Fenglan was naturally unhappy in her heart.

Today, Mu Ruxuan shook the beauty fan to look for Mu Ruqing and chatted for a bit. Mu Ruxuan ate dinner in her courtyard and leisurely went back. Although the two of them did not have a good relationship, but she also put in a lot of effort. This was what Mu Ruqing hoped for.

The night was dark and deep. The sky was covered with dark clouds, like a piece of black cloth.

"Why are you still sleeping?" Old Hong lowered his eyelids and called out expressionlessly. Mu Ruqing turned around and saw the village people's heads hanging on the wall. Their faces were full of fear, their facial features were hideous, and their mouths were wide open. The whites of their eyes replaced their pupils as they examined everything outside the wall.

Mu Ruqing was stunned and could not say anything, "What? You are unhappy that I did it?" Old Hong sneered and slowly opened his mouth. His mouth opened wider and wider. "Suddenly, his head separated from his mouth and he spat out stinky blood. When it entered Mu Ruqing's eyes, she felt a sharp pain.

"Huhuhu." Mu Ruqing woke up and looked at her own bed with a veil and a familiar set. She wiped away the sweat on her forehead and called Lingyue over.

Mu Ruqing's lips were dry and cracked and her voice was a little hoarse. She asked without any spirit, "When is it now? How long did I sleep for?"

"There is still a quarter of an hour left before the young miss will rest after eating dinner. It is only six or four hours but what bad dream did the young miss have?" Lingyue used a wet towel to wipe Mu Ruqing carefully.

"Nothing much, you can go down first." Mu Ruqing waved her hand and put on her clothes to pour a cup of tea for her to drink.

"Keke." Suddenly, a bone sound came from the beam of the room. Just as she was about to raise her head to look, suddenly, the "Ci" candle extinguished. Mu Ruqing shivered and took a step back. Her shoes were slowly soaked and when she looked down, she could not see clearly in the dark. A thick stench floated up.

"Lingyue?" Mu Ruqing tried calling out a few times. When did she leave?

"Keke." It was the sound of bones again and there was a chill at the back of her neck. Mu Ruqing was not afraid but her movements slowed down and she turned her head mechanically.

"Kacha." A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and lit up the ghost shadow behind her.

Looking at Aunt Qu, whose face was as white as a sheet of paper, mouth like blood, hair messy, head and shoulders were pressed against her, Mu Ruqing rolled her eyes and said lightly, "What are you doing here?"

Aunt Qu slowly opened her mouth and with every movement she made, she made a "kaka" sound. The sound blew out the rotten smell of corpses in the water. Her teeth were black and yellow, and there were even aquatic plants mixed in. "Keke, hee, hee, hee." It was unknown whether she was mocking or angry that Mu Ruqing was not afraid of her.

Mu Ruqing walked to the table with a look of disgust and leisurely poured a cup of tea. When she was thirsty, she moistened her lips and said, "You are still not leaving?"

Aunt Qu's entire body was wet and that stinky black liquid flowed towards Mu Ruqing again. Aunt Qu moved her swollen body and the sound of bones piercing into Mu Ruqing's ears.

The liquid had already flowed to her feet and Mu Ruqing frowned and was full of disdain, "Don't come over. It stinks to death. I don't even know if it is blood or your corpse water!"

Aunt Qu really did not move and stood firmly behind her. "Keke." Her voice became louder and louder. Aunt Qu trembled violently. She looked at her rotten lips. Mu Ruqing knew that she was angry and said indifferently, "What are you angry about? It is not like I am the one who caused your death. You do not know how to speak. You only know how to giggle. Only a ghost would understand. " Mu Ruqing was stunned and corrected him, "You are a ghost to begin with. Only you can understand."

"Qing, Qing." A familiar cry came from the sky.

"Ah!" Aunt Qu covered her head and screamed in pain before disappearing. Mu Ruqing snorted, "Don't you know how to speak?"

A burst of pain hit her. Mu Ruqing's head hurt badly. She opened her eyes slightly and saw Yu Longchen's anxious and worried face.

Was he dreaming again? Or was he dreaming?

Mu Ruqing wanted to speak but found that her throat was in great pain. Her lips were dry and her body was covered with sweat. Her head was also in pain. After retching for a long time, she squeezed out a few hoarse words, "Water. Water... "

"Qing, come." Yu Longchen took a sip of the cold tea beside him. Feed it to her. Initially, he wanted to 'tease' her, but he didn't expect... She fell asleep right after dinner. When Yu Longchen arrived, he saw Mu Ruqing sweating profusely. He gently said, "Qing, you have to feel cold. Your head is hot. I will call a doctor for you."

"You? ___ asked. A big man... is in my room in the middle of the night." Mu Ruqing drank a few mouthfuls of water, but her throat was still in pain.

"Stop talking, your throat will hurt." Yu Longchen's heart ached, then he broke the bowl and used his Light-body Technique to flip out of the window.

Lingyue and Xiangyi heard the sound and entered the room. They saw Mu Ruqing sweating. Her eyes were lifeless as she laid on the bed with a haggard face. The two of them became anxious. Lingyue ran over and patted Mu Ruqing's head. Anxious, she said, "Xiangyi, you should go and invite a doctor. Miss's fever is severe!"

"Good! Good!" Xiangyi responded and ran out in a hurry.

Lingyue naturally would not be idle. She called for cold water and used a wet towel to apply it on Mu Ruqing. A moment later, the doctor rushed over.

The doctor took her pulse and let out a sigh of relief, "Miss only suffered from a cold. I will prescribe a prescription for you. You go and get the medicine to boil for Miss to drink."

"Okay." Xiangyi frowned and was anxious in her heart.

"That's enough. I will leave first." The doctor bowed and Mu Ruqing nodded slightly.

Xiangyi wanted to rush out but Mu Ruqing stopped her. Xiangyi was puzzled and Lingyue saw that Mu Ruqing was having difficulty speaking so she said worriedly, "It is already late at night, where are we going to grab the medicine? That doctor is from the residence. Naturally it is easy to invite him but this Medical Residence is not complete."

Just as the two of them were in a dilemma, "Bang, bang," suddenly there was a knock on the door which startled the two of them.

" Miss Mu, this old one heard that you were in a hurry to catch a cold, so I specially came to diagnose and treat the young miss! "Imperial Physician Gu asked justifiably from outside the door.

Lingyue hurriedly opened the door and relaxed her brows as she said happily, "Imperial Physician, you are here. Quickly come in. My young lady is inside."

Imperial Physician Gu did not say much and carefully took Mu Ruqing's pulse. He unconsciously frowned.

Mu Ruqing forced herself to ask, "Imperial Physician, like... Cough cough, how is it?"

"Has Miss come into contact with anything unknown? Have you eaten anything bad? " Imperial Physician Gu tidied his beard and looked worried. "On the surface, it looks like she suddenly caught a cold, but in fact, she was poisoned. But the poison is very light. "

"Poisoned?" The two of them cried out together, and then Xiangyi's face was full of disbelief, "Impossible. The things that the young miss uses have passed through our hands, and the food she eats are all made by her own courtyard's kitchen. It is impossible to poison it."

"Don't worry. This poison is easy to cure and it does not harm the mechanism. If it is as you all say, then it must be that the young lady accidentally came into contact with something sensitive. You all should pay attention to these few days. This is the medicinal formula." Imperial Physician Gu wrote as he spoke.

"But Imperial Physician, it is late at night. Where can we get the medicine?" Lingyue pursed her lips and looked troubled.

"The two of you go and boil the water first and wait. I will send someone to get the medicine."

"Okay." The two rushed out of the door.

Seeing that the person had left, Yu Longchen came in, took the prescription, and left. Imperial Physician Gu shouted at his back, "There is an apprentice alchemist on duty inside. Don't fall and smash it."

After a moment, Yu Longchen rushed back in a hurry. Imperial Physician Gu handed the medicine to Lingyue and the other two. He said a few words and was about to leave.

Lingyue and Mu Ruqing were busy until the fourth hour and Mu Ruqing showed signs of turning well. Only then did the two of them sleep without worry. What they did not know was that there was another person who was even more anxious than them. They waited until the horizon turned white before leaving with dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
