After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Yan Qing's heart tightened.

After a while, she asked coldly, "My mother... is poisoned?"

Zhang Yuanzheng asked in surprise, "Second Miss knows?"

Yan Qing's heart instantly turned cold.

Sure enough!

My mother wasn't even forty yet, yet her health was already failing? What else could have been the cause other than poisoning?

She remembered that her mother was in good health when she was a child.

Because she was the eldest daughter of a general, and her grandparents were both powerful figures who pacified the country on horseback, my mother practiced martial arts since she was a child. Although she was not as good as her eldest and second uncles, she was no match for ordinary women.

So she was often beaten when she was a child.

Later, her mother gradually stopped beating her, but she also became less willing to move around. She stayed in Xiruoyuan all day and became thinner and thinner.

Yan Qing suspected that her mother was poisoned at that time.

She recalled her age at that time and said calmly, "But it's been eight or nine years?"

But Zhang Yuanzheng shook his head and said, "Your mother has been poisoned for at least twenty years!"

"what?"

Yan Qing suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Twenty years? Wasn't that when she was pregnant? That is, when she married Yan Junyuan, her mother was already poisoned?

How can it be?

Yan Qing's mind was blank for a moment.

Could it not be Yan Junyuan? But if it wasn't him, then who poisoned my mother?

No, now is not the time to think about this. The most urgent thing is to detoxify first.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Qing said calmly, "Director, can my mother still be saved?"

Zhang Yuanzheng frowned, "Your mother has been poisoned for a long time, and her body has been hollowed out. This situation..."

He said helplessly: "Even if we use the power of the Imperial Hospital, I am afraid it will be powerless to save the situation, unless..."

Yan Qing's eyes lit up slightly: "Unless what?"

"Unless we find the miracle doctor Wu Mang."

Zhang Yuanzheng denied it after saying this, "But Wu Mang's whereabouts are erratic and mysterious. No one knows where he is..."

"Wu Mang...surname Wu..."

Yan Qing paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Could it be a Moon Clan witch doctor?"

I heard that there was an ancient tribe called the Yue Clan in the territory of Chu State, which was adjacent to Dayong.

The Moon Clan is known for its medical skills.

The surname has been Wu for generations.

Zhang Yuan was stroking his beard. "That's right. It's a pity that the Moon Clan has long been extinct. Otherwise, even without Wu Mang, your mother might have been saved."

Yan Qing's heart was beating like a drum.

She remembered that in her previous life, after Gu Huaizhou ascended the throne, he had attacked the State of Chu. At that time, the State of Chu had just had a new ruler and its foundation was unstable, yet he had conquered half of the country. The leader seemed to be from the Moon Clan...

Later, there were rumors that Gu Huaizhou's biological mother was from the Moon Clan...

Yan Qing's heart tightened.

If the rumor is true, does Gu Huaizhou know Wu Mang's whereabouts?

Yan Qing was not discouraged.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, a miracle will happen!

She asked slowly, "How much longer does my mother have left?"

Zhang Yuanzheng looked at Yan Qing with pity and sighed, "If you take good care of yourself, your mother might be able to hold on for another two or three years..."

This Miss Yan is really miserable.

He had just been betrayed by Prince Lu, and his mother was poisoned. I heard that he was not loved by his biological father, Minister Yan. He was really pitiful.

Yan Qing suddenly clenched his fists.

Two or three years ago, it was exactly the time when my maternal grandfather's family was wiped out in my previous life...

When Prince Jing and Zhang Yuanzheng left, Yan Qing felt a little dazed.

She never knew that her mother had been poisoned for twenty years.

If a woman is poisoned during pregnancy, the poison will be passed on to the fetus, and may even result in a stillbirth.

But she has been in good health since birth and is healthier than ordinary children.

When she was a child, she was very envious of Yan Junyuan's love and care when she saw Yan Tan was sick.

I thought it would be better if I got sick too.

Yan Qing still remembers that once, in order to get a moment of her father's attention, she secretly took a cold shower in winter, soaking in the ice water for more than half an hour, and only got up after sneezing.

She thought she was finally sick.

As a result, her mother gave her half a bowl of ginger soup, and she was fine the next day.

He was also beaten twice by his mother.

From then on, Yan Qing didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.

Now that I think about it, I rarely get sick...

"cousin?"

The familiar voice brought Yan Qing back to his senses.

Gu Huaizhou looked at her and asked gently, "How is the Madam?"

Yan Qing looked at the man's handsome face.

She pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Cousin, mother... has been poisoned."

Gu Huaizhou lowered his eyes.

He knew in his previous life that Ye was poisoned, but unfortunately he found out too late. By the time Wu Mang arrived, she was already beyond saving.

Yan Qing thought of Zhang Yuanzheng's words.

She lowered her eyes to look at the ground, her long eyelashes trembling twice, and she looked extremely hesitant: "Cousin, what should I do? How could Mother be poisoned..."

"Don't worry, cousin."

Gu Huaizhou reached out and touched Yan Qing's shoulder at the right time, comforting her: "Madam will be fine. What did the imperial physician say?"

Yan Qing immediately grabbed his sleeve.

She raised her head, her beautiful face filled with helplessness. Her dark almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears as she choked out, "The imperial physician said that mother can only be saved if we find the miraculous doctor Wu Mang, but I don't know where he is..."

"Cousin, I..."

"Rebellious girl!"

Just as Gu Huaizhou was about to speak, Yan Junyuan suddenly hurried back home.

Seeing Yan Qing in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he rushed over and raised his hand to fan Yan Qing.

"Snapped!"

The sound of heavy slaps echoed all around.

Yan Qing suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the man standing in front of him.

Gu Huaizhou...

It turned out that when Yan Junyuan's slap fell, Gu Huaizhou suddenly stood in front of her.

Yan Qing knew that he knew kung fu.

But he actually got slapped by Yan Junyuan for her!

He is the future emperor!

Yan Junyuan didn't expect Gu Huaizhou to suddenly rush out.

Although he did not dislike the only remaining member of the Gu family as much as Yan Qing, he still disliked her.

Yan Junyuan said calmly, "You have nothing to do here."

The implication is that Gu Huaizhou should get out.

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Gu Huaizhou's eyes, but he quickly subsided. He lowered his eyes and said, "Uncle, the imperial physician has diagnosed that the Madam has been poisoned."

"so what?"

Yan Jun was extremely angry. He looked at Yan Qing and then at Gu Huaizhou: "You don't think I poisoned you, do you?"

Gu Huaizhou said calmly, "Regardless of whether it was my uncle who poisoned me, everyone will think that he is responsible. After all, the eldest lady married you, and you have been favoring Madam Zhen for many years. It is inevitable that some people will think that you..."

Gu Huaizhou didn't say the words "favor the concubine and kill the wife", but the three people present understood it in their hearts.

He paused and continued, "If word gets out that my uncle is abusing my cousin, I'm afraid your position as the Minister will be..."

"You dare to threaten me?"

Yan Junyuan stared at Gu Huaizhou with deep eyes.

He actually underestimated this cousin. He thought that he had no relatives and would not be able to cause any trouble in Kyoto. He didn't expect that he would dare to threaten him?

"Ziyuan wouldn't dare."

The man's words are humble, but his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant.

Yan Junyuan sneered, then stared at Gu Qing and said meaningfully, "Do you think someone from the Yan Mansion wants to harm your mother? Humph, you will regret it!"

After speaking, he walked away.

Yan Qing frowned. What did Yan Junyuan mean? Someone from the Yan residence wasn't trying to kill his mother? Who could it be?

She subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but Gu Huaizhou suddenly grabbed her.

Yan Qing turned around and saw the man looking at her with a wronged expression: "Cousin..."

Yan Qing looked at the five fingerprints on his handsome face, and inexplicably thought of Madam Zhen's swollen face after being beaten by her. Suddenly, she chuckled.
