Dujuan was simmering medicine to preserve the pregnancy over a low fire when she heard a rustling sound not far away. Dujuan was afraid of being discovered, so she went forward to check.
At this moment, a black figure ran out, opened the lid of the medicine jar, poured all the powder in his hand into it, and then ran in the opposite direction.
Dujuan went to the place where the noise came from and saw a wild cat running around. Only then did he feel relieved. What the hell was going on? How could a wild cat appear in such a place?
Dujuan returned to her seat and carefully checked the surroundings to make sure there was no sign of anyone else having been there. Still feeling reassured, she opened the lid of the medicine pot and took a closer look. Seeing that there was nothing missing, she felt completely relieved and began to boil the medicine to preserve the pregnancy.
In fact, when Chu Xiao was thinking about giving Rong Ziyu the drug, she thought about what to do if something went wrong. She was also afraid of something going wrong, so she made preparations in advance and prepared the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Afterwards, regardless of whether anything happened or not, Chu Xiao would drink a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine to protect her body and the child.
After Du Juan boiled the medicine, she found a bowl to serve it to Chu Xiao while it was still fresh in the pot.
While she was away, the man in black appeared next to the medicine pot again, opened the lid, picked up two twigs at random, picked up a chopstick of medicine residue and put it into the bowl he was carrying, covered the lid, threw away the wooden stick, turned around and left.
After taking just two steps, the man in black turned back, picked up the two branches he had thrown away, and turned away again.
Dujuan brought the medicine to the window of Chu Xiao's room, but there was no sound from inside.
It wasn't long before she heard her master's voice coming from inside the house.
Dujuan stood by the window and called out softly, "Master, I'm here!"
Chu Xiao, who was inside, heard Du Juan's voice, turned around and looked at Rong Ziyu beside her. After making sure that he was not awake, she slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
She tiptoed to the window, opened it a crack, and whispered, "Give me the medicine."
Dujuan didn't dare to answer, but just held the medicine bowl in both hands and handed it in.
Chu Xiao took the bowl of soup from inside and accidentally hit her elbow on the window.
"Ah!" Chu Xiao screamed. Just as the sound was about to come out of her throat, Chu Xiao reacted and covered her mouth with her hands.
His body swayed, and the hand holding the medicine tilted, and the medicine in the bowl spilled onto the wall.
Chu Xiao quickly adjusted herself and held the soup bowl with both hands to ensure good level.
She looked at Du Juan fiercely, "Do you want to die? You might as well tell everyone what I'm doing here."
Dujuan was struggling to explain, but she didn't dare to speak. She opened her mouth anxiously, but didn't dare to make a sound.
Chu Xiao glared at her, picked up the medicine bowl, pinched her nose, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Chu Xiao finished drinking, wiped it with a handkerchief, and handed the bowl over. "I warn you, you'd better keep your voice down so that no one can find out."
Dujuan kept nodding, keeping her mouth tightly shut, not daring to make a sound.
Chu Xiao was satisfied after seeing this, and turned around and sneaked back into the room.
Everything went smoothly, but Chu Xiao did not sleep well that night.
In the morning, Rong Ziyu got up early, saying that he had an appointment with someone and was going out for a drink.
As for the Duke and his wife, they had gone out for something. In the entire mansion, Chu Xiao was the most powerful person.
In the morning, Chu Xiao woke up feeling a little uncomfortable. Her lower abdomen always felt a little sagging, and there was a slight pain.
She looked at Du Juan who was cleaning up the meal in confusion. It shouldn't have happened. She had already inquired about it. She was told that taking the medicine wouldn't cause any major problems. Besides, to be honest, Rong Ziyu's erection wasn't very strong last night.
To be on the safe side, I drank a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine afterwards.
The more Chu Xiao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Finally, she called Du Juan aside and asked again, "Let me ask you, are you sure you've confirmed the efficacy of this medicine with them?"
Du Juan nodded. "Master, just to be sure, I even found the best doctor in their clinic in advance. Are you feeling unwell?"
Chu Xiao nodded, "I just feel something in my body."
Du Juan glanced at her master's belly and said, "Master, would you like me to call the palace doctor to take a look at you?"
Chu Xiao thought about it and felt a little nervous, so she could only nod.
Dujuan turned around and walked away immediately. Her steps were slightly bigger than usual, which showed her eagerness.
Chu Xiao was one step ahead of her and stopped her, "Wait a minute, don't go find the palace doctor, go to the Marquis' Mansion and ask my mother to come. Have her bring a nanny who knows medicine, and also, be prepared for the worst."
Chu Xiao's words calmed Du Juan down. She harnessed the carriage and headed quickly towards the Marquis' Mansion.
When they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, the gatekeeper saw that it was Chu Xiao's maid and did not dare to stop her, so she entered smoothly.
After entering the Marquis' Mansion, the little maid could no longer remain calm. She lifted her skirt with both hands and began to run inside, shouting loudly, "Madam, Madam."
When Dujuan arrived at the lady's yard, he rushed in without reporting to her.
The Marquis's wife originally wanted to scold her, but when she saw Dujuan's panic, she became scared.
Du Juan ran directly to the Marquis’ wife and knelt down, “Madam, something’s happened to the young lady!”
Madam Hou suddenly stood up, grabbed Du Jian's shoulders in panic, and asked, "What happened to the young lady?"
Du Juan recounted the incident, and the Marquis's wife slapped her across the face, her expression instantly changing. "You're so bold, little bitch! The young lady wanted to do this, and you didn't even say a word. Do you know that if something really happened and the child was gone, she would be completely ruined?"
Du Juan shook her head in panic, "No, ma'am, no, it's like this. We've already consulted a doctor, and he said it won't affect the young lady."
Snapped!
Madam Hou slapped Du Juan again. "Fool, is this something that can be done by just finding a doctor? We have to make sure everything is foolproof."
"If you don't serve the young lady, what do you want from me now? Could it be that something has happened to the young lady?" The Marquis's wife looked at Dujuan worriedly.
Du Juan covered her cheeks with her hands, looked at the Marquis' wife in fear, and nodded, "Madam, just now, the young lady said she felt a little unwell, but she didn't dare to ask the Duke's doctor to see her. She said that she wanted Madam to bring a skilled nurse to see her."
The Marquis's wife shouted anxiously outside, and when she walked to Dujuan, she did not forget to kick her again.
The Marquis's wife brought people to the Duke's Mansion. At this time, Chu Xiao was lying on the bed and unable to move.
The Marquis's wife burst into tears when she saw her daughter's pitiful appearance. She looked at the nanny she had brought with her and anxiously pointed at Chu Xiao on the bed, "Why don't you go and show it to the young lady quickly?"
The nanny ran to Po Chuxiao in a hurry and found her face changed drastically after taking her pulse. The Marquis's wife was so scared that her face turned pale. She covered her mouth with her hands and could only cry silently without making any sound.
The nanny glanced at the Marquis' wife, closed her eyes, grabbed the quilt and pulled it up hard, looking at the bright red on the bed, "Madam, the child is gone!"
