Chapter 540 The Arrow
Chapter 540 The Arrow
Mo Liujin, whose life was threatened by Aunt Liu, sat dejectedly against the wall in the yard.
Mo Liuyuan sat down next to him and patted his shoulder. "Go tell the girl first. Otherwise, if she finds out after we enter the mansion first, she'll definitely be even angrier."
"Brother, Qing Meng's body, I'm afraid she can't bear this kind of stimulation. When Jiang Che married Dong, she was so angry that she fainted before she could finish her words. What's more, if I take a concubine! Her reaction will only be greater.
Since he ascended the throne, Qing Meng has never stopped taking medicine. During this period of time, not only has the medicine not stopped, but even the food has been replaced with nourishing food.
I asked Quan Si how she was feeling. Quan Si just frowned and shook his head. Even with his medical skills, he still felt that Qing Meng's condition was difficult. I... I really didn't dare to say..." Mo Liujin's decadent expression was clearly revealed. If he had known this would happen, he should have gone back last night!
Mo Liuyuan also frowned. If he didn't tell her about this matter in advance, it would only make things worse. "Call Quan Si and have him wait. If my sister really has something to do, it won't delay her. Anyway, you should tell her first and then bring her into the mansion."
"Yeah." Mo Liujin responded, stood up and walked out of the manor.
…………
Chu Qingmeng sat with the arrow in his hand for half the night, but he still couldn't figure it out until dawn.
Why did he do this?
"Master, it's time for breakfast." Shuang Cheng knocked on the door and put the tray on the table in the outer hall.
After a quick bite, Chu Qingmeng went to sleep. She needed to catch up on her sleep.
It was already late in the afternoon when Mo Liujin returned with Quan Si. Upon learning that an assassin had come the previous night, he headed straight for Chu Qingmeng's bedroom. Seeing that he was soundly asleep, he felt relieved.
Quan Si silently stepped forward to take the patient's pulse, his brows furrowed. After a long pause, he replied, "I'll adjust the prescription a little bit."
"Brother Quan Si, can you... take a look at my mother?" Mo Liujin asked after hesitating for a long time. If Quan Si could cure her, then he wouldn't have to take Song Wanwan into the house. At worst, he would fight his mother to the end!
Quan Si was stunned for a moment, but then nodded, "Okay."
Mo Liujin didn't expect Quan Si to agree so easily, "You..."
"Don't get me wrong, sir. I still hate Liu to the core, but I don't want our master to be caught in the middle." Quan Si stood up and packed up the medicine box. "I'll go get ready."
Mo Liujin felt relieved and sat beside the couch to guard Chu Qingmeng. He didn't notice that Quan Si, who walked to the door, turned around and looked at him, with undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.
Treat Liu? Oh, Liu's recurring illness was originally caused by his poison.
Quan Si's thoughts drifted back to a few months ago. Jing Yan had found him and told him that Eleventh Master wanted a poison that would make people constantly sick, gradually weakening and dying without any signs of illness.
He had not originally intended to give it to him, but after learning of the Eleventh Master's purpose, he gave it to him without hesitation. Not only did he give it to him, he also increased its toxicity, so that even the imperial physician could not detect any clues.
He thought the poster would punish him after finding out, but after finding out, the poster just glanced at him lightly and continued reading.
Now that you want me to treat it, then I'll treat it. I can't make things difficult for you.
Mo Liujin brought Quan Si back to the manor. Mo Liuyuan and Mo Liuteng were stunned for a moment when they saw Quan Si, and quickly invited him in.
As soon as he took the pulse, Quan Si raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. Was he angry? Being angry is good, because it will only make you suffer more. "Let me see the prescription written by the imperial physician."
After receiving the prescription, Quan Si changed a few herbs, walked out of the room and handed the prescription to the three people who had been following him. "Sir, if you don't trust me, you can ask the imperial physician to check this prescription. The patient has a mental illness. External medicine can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Quan Si shook his head. Even if he had a way, he wouldn't cure her. The poison had already penetrated her lungs, so she wouldn't live much longer.
Mo Liujin and Quan Si returned to Yunyin Villa once again. They were both silent along the way.
Chu Qingmeng had woken up at this time, but she was still holding the arrow in a daze.
This arrow has two sets of barbs behind the arrowhead.
Ordinary arrows have only one set of barbs, which are difficult to remove once they have penetrated the flesh. Barbed arrows are mostly used on the battlefield.
But this one has two sets of barbs.
Only Mo Yunting's personal guards would use this kind of arrow.
But, there are many things.
The logic doesn't make sense.
Frame-up?
But who can escape the eyes of the fifth floor?
"Qing Meng." Mo Liujin hesitated for a long time and then gritted his teeth and entered the inner room.
Chu Qingmeng placed the arrow on the table. Before she could turn around, Mo Liujin had already pulled her into his arms, leaning against her neck and sniffing her scent.
"What's wrong?" Every time he did this, he probably had something to say. When he was sucking her, he would rub her neck.
"Qing Meng..." Mo Liujin's hand around her waist tightened unconsciously.
Chu Qingmeng suddenly had a bad premonition, a woman's keen sixth sense, "If you have something to say, tell me quickly."
"You have to promise me first that you will not leave me no matter what happens. Okay?" Mo Liujin unconsciously increased his strength, wishing he could crush her and hide her in his body.
"Hiss..." Chu Qingmeng felt a little pain from being strangled by him, "What the hell is going on?!"
"Promise me, Qingmeng."
