Gu Bijin was still screaming and struggling. Doctor Zhao walked up to her and gestured for a woman to pry open her lower jaw. He looked at her tongue and pondered for a moment. Then he took out a few silver needles from the medicine box and quickly pierced them into Gu Bijin's body.
The people who were just yelling about how they wanted to struggle immediately quietened down. Gu Bijin slumped down on the bed. She was no longer as crazy as she was before.
Gu Jinzhu saw that the old doctor's method was indeed quite capable. Aunt Jiang was overjoyed. She immediately hid at the side and watched with her father in her eyes. She didn't even dare to let out a breath.
The old doctor took Gu Bijin's pulse, his complexion turning more and more unsightly.
Aunt Jiang couldn't hold it in any longer, so she came over and asked cautiously, "Elder Zhao, look, what's wrong with Jin? How did she suddenly have such a violent attack?"
He dropped his tears again.
Doctor Zhao stood up with a serious expression. Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Yao stepped forward and squeezed out a smile. "Elder Zhao, this place is not convenient. Please step outside and speak."
As she spoke, she invited Doctor Zhao out. Aunt Jiang was about to follow, when Mrs. Yao turned around and said, "It wasn't easy for Jin to calm down. Quickly clean up her face, so Elder Zhao can look at her wounds!"
Aunt Jiang was most worried about her daughter's face, so she reacted abruptly. She rushed to Gu Bijin's side in a panic and ordered for water to be brought to her.
Mrs. Yao invited Dr. Zhao directly to the outer hall, and chased all of maid out, leaving only Maid Ping by her side.
Just as Gu Jinzhu was about to leave, Gu Bitong suddenly said from behind her, "Big Sis, why are you here as well?"
Gu Jinzhu stopped and said, "I was a little worried about Third Sister, so I came to take a look if I wasn't relieved."
"That's right," Gu Bitong sighed as a trace of worry appeared on her face. She looked at Gu Bijin on the bed and said, "I don't know what's going on with Third Sister. She has been allergic to pollen in the past, but she's never been this bad."
Gu Jinzhu shook her head and said softly, "It can't be pollen allergies. It looks like Third Sister was poisoned."
"Poisoned?" Gu Bitong was shocked. She suddenly felt a little unnatural on her face. "Big sister knows medicine?"
Gu Jinzhu smiled faintly. "Of course I don't understand, but I've seen a similar example before in the Linan."
Panic appeared in Gu Bitong's eyes, and she was about to ask something else when Gu Jinzhu smiled at her and said, "Third Sister is busy here, so I won't stay for long. If Second Sister is free, come visit me more often."
"Oh, okay." The smile on Gu Bitong's face was a little forced.
Gu Jinzhu no longer paid any attention to her and turned around, bringing the fragrant willow tree back to Green Bamboo Garden.
As she walked out of the Cloud Mansion, she felt a heavy weight on her chest, and her eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of malice.
Yun Xiang took a step forward and whispered with some doubt, "Miss, why do I look at Third Lady's appearance? Why does she look a little like that Aunt Yu from before?"
When she was at Yang Family, she had indeed seen such an example.
His uncle Yang Shao had many concubines, but the one he doted on the most was a skinny horse he bought from Yangzhou. His uncle Yang Shao had many concubines, but his favorite was a skinny horse he bought from Yangzhou.
This Aunt Yu, on the other hand, was domineering and pampered. She had offended many people and was somehow taken advantage of. It was said that she had mixed some pollen from her usual rouge powder, called the Flowerflower.
Yan Xi was an aquatic plant. The flowers were gorgeous and fragrant, but its pollen was very irritating. If touched accidentally, it would cause one's skin to itch and go down the bone.
However, the pollen's smell was really good. If mixed with the rouge, it would make it even more exquisite and gorgeous, so it was not easy for people to detect it.
Originally, this pollen did not have much toxicity to it. As long as it endured the itch, it would not cause any harm to the skin. However, it had a special characteristic, which was that the more it scratched, the more itchy it got.
In the end, Aunt Yu's face was scratched, her face was disfigured, and she was chased out of the house by Yang Shao. It was only then that Gu Jinzhu realized that there was such a thing in the world.
However, that Flowerflower was extremely rare, and mostly grew by the side of the dark and humid water. There simply wasn't such a plant in the north, how could she have expected to see such a scene in the Gu Mansion?
Thinking about Gu Bijin's miserable state, her heart felt as if a huge stone had fallen on her chest. No matter what, it couldn't stop her from thinking about those previous details.
Why did Gu Bitong come to give her the rouge of the palace? Why did Mrs. Yao pretend to be concerned about her and ask if it was of any use?
As long as she thought carefully, all the blood in her body would instantly freeze.
It was too scary. She didn't expect Mrs. Yao to be this crazy to dare to openly attack!
She gripped her fingers tightly, feeling chills all over her body.
Returning to the Green Bamboo Garden, she told Yun Xiang and Su Ju about this matter. The two girls were even more shocked and terrified than her.
As long as Yun Xiang thought of that rouge that was almost used on her young miss, she was scared out of her wits. She rubbed her chest as she muttered to herself, "Fortunately, Buddha blessing me, otherwise, if it was used on your face, it would really be …"
She was too scared to continue.
Su Ju jumped up in anger, gritting her teeth as she scolded, "Second Lady is too malicious, to actually dare to harm my Young Miss like this. She looks like a fairy, but her heart is like a scorpion. Are you not afraid of retribution? "
Compared to the fear of the two girls, Gu Jinzhu had calmed down. She said quietly, "I'm telling you all this because I want you to know how terrible our situation is right now. In the future, we'll have to carefully inspect all the food and clothing sent over from other courtyards. If you're not careful, you might fall for someone else's trick."
Yun Xiang and Lili both nodded their heads. After this incident, the two little girls had become more cautious of her food and accommodation.
Gu Jinzhu stood by the window and looked out into the thick night sky. She sighed.
Gu Mansion was far more dangerous than she had imagined. Although she was already mentally prepared when she returned, she was still a thirteen year old girl.
She had thought about how to deal with Mrs. Yao, but she hadn't expected that the battle in the backyard would be so intense that it was even more terrifying than what she had imagined.
Mrs. Yao's attack directly gave her a warning. She didn't even bother to put on an act. If she didn't, then whatever. The moment she appeared, she would be put to death!
She could dodge it this time, but what about next time? What about next time?
She clutched her chest, her heart cold.
But even so, there was no room for her to retreat.
No matter what was ahead, she would charge head on!
Mrs. Yao! She bit her lower lip, her eyes cold.
Exit Center.
Gu Bijin drank the medicine and fell into a deep sleep. A few red lines appeared on her face.
Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter's face and never stopped crying.
Gu Qingyuan sat at the side and frowned. As soon as he came back, he heard that something had happened to his third daughter and hurried over to take a look.
Although Gu Bijin's appearance could not compare to Gu Bitong's and Gu Jinzhu's, she could still be considered pretty and charming. Now that her appearance was ruined, his face was as gloomy as if a storm was brewing.
"What did Doctor Zhao say?" He spoke heavily.
