I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

An Muxi was shocked when she heard this and stood up quickly: "What's going on?"

Qiu Shuang shook her head: "I don't know either. The prince's personal guard came over to pass on the message just now."

An Muxi hurried out immediately. Since it was her brother who said that, the matter must be serious, otherwise he would not disturb her rest and ask her to come over.

At the gate of the Duke's Mansion, a guard was waiting there anxiously.

An Muxi had seen him before, and he was indeed Bai Jingchen's personal bodyguard.

"Where's my elder brother?"

When the guard saw An Muxi coming out, he quickly said, "Miss, the prince is at the Gu family now. He asked me to come and pick you up. Miss Gu is unconscious now."

When An Muxi heard this, she quickly ordered, "Qiuyue, go back to my room and get my medicine box."

She had just come out in a hurry and didn't know what was going on, so she forgot to bring her first aid kit.

After a while Qiuyue took out the medicine box.

An Muxi took Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue on the carriage, and the guard drove the carriage to the Gu family.

The doorman recognized that it was the prince's guard, and when he saw the person coming, he quickly opened the door, and An Muxi followed the guard into the inner courtyard.

Seeing Bai Jingchen pacing back and forth at the door of a room, An Muxi shouted, "Brother, what happened to An Yan?"

When Bai Jingchen heard An Muxi's voice, he hurried over and said, "I don't know what happened to An Yan today. She suddenly fell into a coma. Madam Gu heard that you are a good doctor and came to me for help. That's why I asked someone to invite you over."

When An Muxi pushed the door open, she saw Madam Gu sitting by the bed, secretly wiping away tears, and Bai Jingchen followed her in.

"Mrs. Gu, my little sister is here. Please let her see what's going on with An Yan."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu quickly stood up and held An Muxi's hand: "Xi'er, An Yan suddenly fell into a coma today for some reason. The imperial physician also examined her, but could not find any problem. I really have no choice."

An Muxi patted Mrs. Gu's hand gently: "Don't worry, aunt, I will do my best to save her. She is my future sister-in-law, I will not ignore her."

Mrs. Gu's complexion looked a little better.

An Muxi came to the bed, grabbed Gu Anyan's wrist and began to take her pulse. This time the pulse taking lasted for a long time.

She didn't show it on her face, but she was a little confused in her heart. Gu Anyan seemed to be poisoned, and it was a colorless and odorless poison.

After taking the pulse, she turned to Madam Gu and asked, "Aunt, what did An Yan eat today? I need to know."

Mrs. Gu did not dare to neglect it, knowing that it must be related to the illness, so she quickly called Gu Anyan's two maids over.

"Tell Miss Bai everything she ate today."

The two maids were terrified and quickly told Gu Anyan what she had eaten today.

It was just some ordinary meals. The Gu family should have eaten these things. Everyone else was fine, which meant it was not a problem with the food.

Suddenly An Muxi asked, "You said An Yan ate the cakes bought outside today?"

The two maids nodded.

An Muxi then asked, "Who bought the cakes?"

One of the maids said in panic, "This is what I bought."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Liu'er."

"Did you meet anyone after buying cakes today?"

Liu Er shook her head: "I didn't meet anyone."

"The cake was in your hand the whole time? It never left your hand?"

She nodded: "Yes, it has always been in my hands."

An Muxi asked Madam Gu: "Aunt, do you have any cakes left? I want to see."

Madam Gu immediately asked her trusted maid to get it.

After a while, the maid brought over a plate of pastries. An Muxi checked and found that there was indeed something wrong with the pastries.

An Muxi's face immediately turned cold: "Aunt, this Liu'er is lying!"

Bai Jingchen's face immediately turned cold when he heard this. An Muxi grabbed him and shook his head.

After all, this is someone else's family affair, and as a man, Bai Jingchen should better not interfere.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she immediately became furious: "Take Liu'er out and beat her with a stick until she confesses!"

She didn't expect that the little maid who had followed her daughter since she was a child would actually harm her daughter.

When another maid of Gu Anyan heard this, she looked at Liu'er in disbelief, as if she didn't expect that she would harm the young lady.

After a while, the sound of a board hitting flesh and Liu'er's crying were heard outside the door.

In addition, the maidservant grew up with Liu'er. She felt sorry for it, but she also hated Liu'er for harming the young lady.

She ran outside and cried, "Liu'er, you and I have served the young lady since we were young. Has the young lady ever treated you badly? Why did you want to hurt her? Tell me!"

Liu Er also started to cry. After being beaten with more than ten boards, she finally said weakly, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

The board stopped, and An Muxi, Bai Jingchen, and Madam Gu all stood in front of her. Madam Gu suppressed her anger and said, "Hurry up and speak!"

Liu'er explained in a halting manner the reason why she harmed Gu Anyan.

It turned out that she had parents and a younger brother outside. Her family was poor, so they sold her to a human trafficker.

Later, her family somehow found her again and learned that she had entered the Gu Mansion and worked as a personal maid for Miss Gu.

Seeing that she was living a good life, her family began to complain about her poverty. Liu'er softened her heart and often helped her family.

Not long ago, her father suddenly found her and said that he owed money to the casino, and his younger brother was caught by the casino and was about to be sold, so he asked her for help.

She was just a little maid, and the little savings she had were drained by her family. How could she be of any help?

She thought her father wanted her to ask Miss Gu to see if Lord Gu could come forward to help.

She felt that she was not bold enough and wanted to refuse, but she didn't expect her father to directly give her a packet of medicine powder.

"Liu'er, sprinkle this powder on the food your young lady eats, and your brother will be released. He is your only brother, and he will be your support in the future."

Liu'er was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly. She never thought that her father would ask her to harm the young lady.

"Dad, I have been following the young lady since I was a child. She treats me like her own sister. I can't hurt her!"

"So you're not going to care about your brother? He's still so young. If he dies, our family's incense will be cut off. Can you bear it?"

Liu'er was finally persuaded. She knew that all the meals at home were delivered by people arranged by Mrs. Gu, so it was difficult for her to do anything.

However, recently Gu Anyan liked to eat cakes from a pastry shop outside, so she sprinkled the medicine powder on the cakes when she went to buy them.

Gu Anyan was not on guard against the two maids at all, and sure enough, she fell into a coma after eating the snacks.

At this time, Lord Gu also finished his shift and returned to the Gu Mansion. When he got home, he learned about this matter and stamped his feet in anger.

These people actually came to his house as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. They were simply looking for death by lighting a light in the toilet. He directly ordered his men to arrest Liu'er's father.

Liu'er was naturally also arrested and taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture prison.

Bai Jingchen was also very angry, but he was more worried about Gu Anyan's situation.

He quietly pulled An Muxi aside and asked, "Little sister, how is An Yan?"

An Muxi comforted her, "She was poisoned. This poison is called 'Drunkenness' and it is not from our Tiansheng Country. But don't worry, I can cure this poison. I just need some precious medicinal herbs."
