Chapter 103 Detoxification
The old lady and the eldest master heard that the owner of Yichun Hall was the only person who could save the second master. They originally thought that with the wealth of the Xiao family, it would not be difficult to find someone. But when they looked for him, they were shocked to find that the owner of Yichun Hall was actually the prince's sworn brother. And they heard that this person was deeply respected by the prince, with a wild and unrestrained nature, and most importantly, this person wandered around the world, rarely returning to Pingyang, unless he wanted to see you.
For Jun'er's life, the eldest master had to ask the prince for help, but the prince said that he had only met this person once, and often hoped to drink with him again and talk about the pain of separation. However, he had searched all over Da Qi but could not find any news. When the prince mentioned the owner of Yichun Hall, his eyes showed earnest desire, and the eldest master was desperate. With the prince's power, it would be difficult to find this person, let alone the Xiao family. Having said that, even if the Xiao family could find this person, it would take time. Seeing Jun'er sleeping in bed, they could not wait!
After listening to the eldest master's story, the old lady wondered if Jun'er was really doomed to die? He had already been blessed with happiness before, so he couldn't do it again ! Was there really no hope this time? Thinking of Jun'er's uncertain life and death, was she really going to have to send him off? She burst into tears and asked the heavens speechlessly:
What evil did my Xiao family commit to deserve such retribution? Is our direct bloodline really going to be cut off from now on?
Not to mention the sadness in the hearts of the old lady and the eldest master, the east wing was even more restless at this time. Mengxi and others had been confined for four days. The old lady had long forgotten about them. At this time, Zhichun was anxiously asking the second wife:
"Second Grandma, is Second Master really okay?"
"You've asked me this a hundred times. It's really okay."
"Why aren't you awake yet?"
Mengxi looked at her as if she were an idiot:
"How can you wake up without taking the antidote?"
"Yesterday I heard from Hong Xing that the Second Master's breathing was getting weaker and his face was getting paler. Is he okay?"
Zhichun asked anxiously again.
"If I let you lie there for four days and four nights without food or water, your breathing would become weaker and weaker, and your face would become paler and paler. That's because you're hungry!"
Mengxi rolled her eyes at Zhichun and secretly sighed that in ancient times there were no intramuscular injections like drips to replenish nutrition. The Second Master was wasting his life. If he was not treated, he would definitely die.
When Zhichun heard this, he jumped up anxiously:
"Then Second Master will die of starvation or thirst, Second Madam, we must find a way to send the antidote out as soon as possible."
"We are all under house arrest. How can we deliver the antidote? If we deliver it, once we find out where the antidote came from, the old lady will be the first to guess that we are the one who caused the Second Master's illness. Then we won't know who will die!"
Zhiqiu glared at Zhichun fiercely.
After hearing this, Zhichun sat down dejectedly again. She was the one who gave the medicine, and she hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past two days. If anything happened to the Second Master, she thought she would never have peace in her next life. Mengxi also understood her thoughts, but now she was under house arrest and couldn't go out, there was nothing she could do.
Zhichun was unwilling to give up. After a while, he asked again:
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
"have"
When Zhiqiu and Zhichun heard this, their eyes lit up and they both looked at the Second Grandma:
"Second Madam, what can I do? I will do it."
"Wait, wait until the old lady remembers us"
After hearing this, Zhichun and Zhiqiu lowered their heads in shame again.
Mengxi was right. On the fifth day of Xiao Jun's coma, the old lady finally remembered her. The Third Master was talking to her:
"Grandma, could it be that my second brother is really in conflict with my cousin? The last time my second brother got sick, it was because my cousin was in my second brother's yard every day. This time, my cousin is there every day again. Maybe my second sister-in-law was suppressing my second brother before, so he didn't get suppressed. Now that my cousin is sick, she went to a Taoist priest for help. Who knows, maybe the Taoist priest has eliminated the pressure of my second sister-in-law on my cousin, and my second brother is being suppressed again."
When the old lady heard this, she suddenly remembered that Xiu'er's illness was cured in the morning, and Jun'er fell ill when he returned home in the afternoon. There is no such coincidence in the world , so she believed it.
"That's right. Xiu'er recovered from her illness this morning, but Jun'er got sick again in the afternoon. Is Xiu'er still in Xiaoxiangyuan these two days?"
"Yes, my cousin has been watching over my second brother these past two days. Grandma, why don't you let my cousin hide for a while? My second sister-in-law got my second brother into trouble last time. Let her move back to the upper room to calm him down. My cousin's sister-in-law is a noble person, and maybe he will get better."
The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this. She remembered the half-month period and the words of the monk from Jingyun Temple, and shouted to the door:
"Shihua, go ask the eldest wife to come over."
…
Mengxi sat on the couch and looked at the sleeping Second Master. It was better to look at this iceberg with eyes closed, and it made him look much cuter.
Just now the old lady had told her to move back to the upper room to serve the Second Master. She was not allowed to move out of the main room before the Second Master woke up, and she didn't need to go to Shouxi Hall to pay her respects. She just had to serve the Second Master wholeheartedly. She didn't know why the old lady had suddenly said such a thing, but it was indeed exciting news, and Zhichun and Zhiqiu were so happy that the uneasiness they had felt for the past few days was swept away, and they were almost ready to beat drums and gongs and dance the yangge.
Although they came to the upper room, Erye was still in a coma and could not drink anything. In broad daylight, people were coming and going in the upper room, so the antidote could not be fed to Erye immediately. As the saying goes, it is best to do bad things at night. Although the three were beside Erye at this time, they could only sit there with their eyes open and wait for the night to fall.
At night, Hongzhu saw that the Second Master showed no signs of waking up. In the past two days, Hongzhu and Hongxing took turns to watch over the Second Master with the little maid. The Second Madam came over. Hongzhu didn't know what arrangements the Second Madam would make tonight, so she tentatively said:
"I will wait for Second Madam to rest first."
"Second Master, don't you drink water these days?"
"I will try to feed you some every day, so that you can drink a little more."
"You and Hong Xing are both tired these days, so go down first. Zhiqiu, Zhichun and I will be here to watch over you."
"Second Madam, this... I'd better wait for you to rest first."
Mengxi looked at the bed. It was occupied by the Second Master. The old lady wouldn't let her leave the room. Where could she sleep? She might as well sit on the couch. Thinking of this, she said to Hongzhu:
"No need, Zhiqiu is here, you can go down."
Seeing that the Second Mistress insisted, Hongzhu felt really tired these past few days, so she said goodbye and left.
When Zhiqiu heard no sound outside, she quietly locked the door from the inside. The three of them took out the antidote and flushed it with water. Zhiqiu and Zhichun gently pried open Erye's teeth and fed the antidote to him. After everything was cleaned up, they breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. They opened the door. Zhiqiu moved two embroidered cushions and sat down beside the couch. The three of them looked at each other, as if they had stolen a treasure together. They were nervous and excited, and they smiled at each other. From then on, they had a common secret, and their fate was now tied together.
Mengxi stroked Zhiqiu's face, which was still swollen, and said:
"I'm sorry to have made you suffer. Zhichun and I are here. You should go back and rest first. Don't waste your time here. The Second Master will not die anyway."
"It's okay, I'm not tired, let Zhichun go and rest, I'll stay here with you"
Zhichun glared at Zhiqiu with murderous eyes, but Zhiqiu pretended not to see it.
"You should go down. Let Zhichun go down. She can't sleep either. You have to leave the house tomorrow."
Mengxi understood Zhichun's worries. She was the one who gave the medicine, and she would not be able to rest in peace unless she saw the Second Master wake up with her own eyes. She also remembered that she had been under house arrest these days, and wondered how the pharmacy was doing.
After hearing this, Zhiqiu knew that what Second Madam said was true. If Second Master didn't wake up, Second Madam couldn't go back to the East Wing, and it was even more impossible for Second Madam to rest in the same bed with Second Master. This night would be tough, so she said:
"Then Second Madam, please take a nap on the couch first. Let Zhichun stay here. If Second Master doesn't wake up in the middle of the night, I will come over and let Zhichun rest."
As he spoke, he stood up, found a thin blanket to cover the second grandmother, then turned around and went out, gently closing the door.
