That night, Li Yi came to reply to Mu Yan, saying that Jun Ruoxu had been poisoned. Mu Yan was not surprised at all.
He curled his lips and said, "This is really Jun's style. Is there any hope?"
Li nodded, "It's only been two days since I was hit. It's because Jun Ruoxu was so alert, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed anything unusual."
"What kind of poison did you get?"
"The doctor said it is a 'sleeping beauty'. It is colorless, odorless, painless and sleepless. It will only make people feel tired and sleepy, and finally leave in their sleep. The longest time can be half a year, and the shortest time is a few days, the effect of the medicine can be seen.
Depend on the dosage.”
Mu Yan laughed and said, "Jun Xiangjie was buried. His eldest grandson was too sad. Let him go, but a good story can be spread."
Li Yi was a little confused, "Doesn't Aunt Jun still want to support Young Master Jun to stabilize his position as the patriarch? Isn't the only person closest to her left?"
Why take action? Is there no other way?
Mu Yan smiled and said, "She never leaves behind anyone or anything that is not good for her. Not to mention nephews, even her own flesh and blood, if they get in the way, they will not hesitate to shovel them away. If I were not in Yunnan, she would
It’s not like she had to take Jun Ruoxu’s life, but with me here, she was afraid that Jun Ruoxu would ruin her affairs. The position of the head of the Jun clan is important, but it is further than smoothing the road and helping Mu Zhan ascend to the throne.
Not as good as."
Of course, Jun Ruoxu, who is closest to her by blood, is the best person to serve as the patriarch.
But if Jun Ruoxu had the handle on her, it wouldn't matter if someone else did it. He must have felt that as long as she supported him, he could easily control her and do whatever he wanted.
"Go, give Jun Ruoxu a few words..." He gave Li Yi a few words.
After Li Yi left, Mu Yan returned to the house and saw that Huo Xi was not there. He asked his servants and said that Madam had gone to see the young lady. Then he walked over again.
While walking, I took a look at this side courtyard. There wasn't even a wing, and Wan'er couldn't live in the same courtyard as the couple. When mother and daughter met, either Wan'er, who was not yet one month old, came over to hug her, or Xi'er wanted to walk over.
"Tell the craftsmen to hurry up. We will move back to Cuihuang Courtyard next month at the latest."
"Yes. Please note it down, slave."
When Mu Yan arrived at the courtyard where Wan'er lived, he saw Huo Xi teasing his daughter with a smile on his face and talking to her daughter in a whimpering manner. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"So fast? I thought it would take you a long time." Huo Xi saw him coming and greeted him with a smile.
The couple teased their daughter for a while, then Mother Ma told her that Huo Xi was still in confinement and the night breeze was cold, so she asked her to go back to the house, so the couple had to go back to their yard.
Along the way, Mu Yan supported her and talked to her, "He said he wanted to give Wan'er a big moon feast and a banquet for guests, but I refused."
After saying that, he looked at Huo Xi and saw that she was not angry, with a smile on her face again.
Huo Xi hummed softly, "Wan'er's birth was not smooth. She was frightened. She hasn't recovered yet, so Miyuejiu might as well stop doing it. If she can recover in a hundred days, we'll talk about it then."
Mu Yan hugged her, let her lean against him, and hummed, "That's how I responded to him." Then he looked down at her and said, "I will carry you for my husband."
"No." Huo Xi pushed him.
Mu Yan insisted on squatting in front of her and said, "Come up."
Huo Xi had no choice but to lie on his back. Mu Yan carried her on his back, leaning forward slightly and walking slowly, "Why is she still so light? She didn't add a few ounces of meat."
"Don't bother me again. I don't want to eat more. I haven't eaten it yet. If I add a few more ounces of meat, will you still be disgusted?"
Mu Yan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, "Don't say such words again! No matter what you become, my husband will not dislike you."
Huo Xi raised the corner of her mouth, put her face into his shoulder, and hummed softly.
On the other side, in Jun Ruoxu's courtyard.
Servant Liu Er brought a suitcase and said to Jun Ruoxu who was lying in the inner room: "Young master, the medicine is here." He took out the medicine bowl from the suitcase and carried it into the inner room with both hands.
"Young Master." Liu Er called out, put the medicine bowl on the small table next to Babu's bed, and stepped forward to help him get up.
"I'll do it myself." Jun Ruoxu refused his help and struggled to get up.
Liu Er looked distressed: "Young master, don't be too sad. The old master is gone, and the house still needs your support. If you fall again, will the big house be eaten up and wiped clean by other heads?"
Seeing Jun Ruoxu half sitting up, he quickly took a pillow and put it behind his back for him to lean on.
Then he hurriedly reached for the medicine bowl: "The old lady is worried about you. I heard that you were overworked. She was so anxious that she wiped her tears and told her that the kitchen had boiled a tonic soup. You must drink more. If you fall down, stay
How pitiful an old lady is."
Jun Ruoxu paused when he thought of his grandmother, and turned to look at the medicine bowl. He wondered if his grandmother knew what medicine was in it.
She must not be aware of it. My aunt is so secretive in everything she does, how could my grandmother know?
"Put it down. I'll drink it when it gets colder."
Liu Er advised: "Young master, you'd better drink it while it's hot. I brought it all the way and it's already a bit cold, so it won't reduce the efficacy of the medicine."
"Okay, I'll drink it. Go and get me some candied fruits. I don't know what this tonic is made of, but it's very bitter. Bring me some candied fruits, it'll be sweet to my taste."
Liu Er laughed and said, "Young master is still afraid of drinking medicine. You have to eat a candied fruit after drinking it. I will go and get it now."
Jun Ruoxu poked his head outside until the sound of footsteps was too soft to be heard. He hurriedly struggled to get off the bed, picked up the bowl of medicinal soup, hurried to the window and poured it out.
After a while, Liu Er came back and saw the eldest young master grinning in pain. He hurriedly apologized, went up and fed the eldest young master a candied fruit, and then left with the food box.
I didn't want to go outside and be stopped when I was still some way away from the kitchen.
I looked up and saw Aunt Shui next to my aunt, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. Aunt Shui hummed and glanced at the food box, "Did the young master drink it?"
"Back to grandma, the eldest young master has finished drinking and has gone to bed."
"Did you watch the eldest young master drink?" Aunt Shui asked.
Just after he finished speaking, he hurriedly added: "Our wife told the old lady about your eldest young master, saying that he was vigiling day and night, and his eyes were black and blue from exhaustion, and he was afraid that he might not be able to bear it any longer. The old lady was so distressed that she shed tears after hearing this, and she confessed to her personally.
I boiled the tonic soup in the kitchen, but I can't let the old lady down. The old lady has lost her son and her husband. If something happens to your eldest young master again, how will the old lady live?"
Liu Er nodded and said, "As soon as my young master heard the old lady's order, he picked up the medicine bowl and drank heavily. He also said that he wanted to see the old lady, but he was stopped by the servant."
"You're right to stop me. You need to take good care of yourself first. You won't be able to do it at any time."
"Mommy is right, this is what my servant advised the young master."
Aunt Shui asked him a few more questions before turning and leaving.
Liu Er walked a few steps, turned back and glanced in the direction of Aunt Shui, then looked down at the suitcase in his hand, shook his head, and strode away.
After that, Liu Er returned to the house and talked to Jun Ruoxu about what happened on the road. Jun Ruoxu only said that his aunt felt sorry for him, so he sent his aunt to ask, saying that he answered well, and rewarded him with silver.
This matter will not be discussed.
It's just that after Liu Er left, Li Yi ducked in in Jun Ruoxu's room.
He handed him a pill and saw that he swallowed it without any hesitation. He joked: "You are not afraid that our prince will poison you."
Jun Ruoxu smiled weakly and said, "If the prince wants to save my life, why go to all the trouble."
He didn't expect that his aunt actually wanted to kill him. And he didn't expect that the person he would turn to for help in the end would be the crown prince.
"If your fate is great, I will be saved by your son this time, and I will definitely repay you for your great kindness. I wonder what your son's instructions are?"
