Time Travel and Love

Quan Si arrived quickly, slid to his knees beside the bed to feel Chu Qingmeng's pulse, and hurriedly opened the medicine box to get a pill for Chu Qingmeng to take. "Master, what did you eat? What did you use?! How did you get poisoned?!"

"Poisoned?!" Shuang Cheng's reaction was even greater than Chu Qingmeng's. "What kind of poison?"

Chu Qingmeng just weakly replied "I don't know", then continued to close his eyes, and after a moment he said, "Quan Si, I feel very dizzy."

Quan Si took out the golden needles and began to use acupuncture to relieve her symptoms. "It's not a strong poison, just something that can kill people. It's short-lived and has just started. It's okay. I will come quickly and I won't leave any root of the disease."

"Yeah." Chu Qingmeng fell asleep in a daze.

"Third brother, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave me from now on. Why are there so many despicable means in this palace?" Quan Si knelt under the bed and waited for the needle to be removed.

"Hmph." Shuang Cheng snorted disdainfully and said nothing more.

Chunhe's eyes flashed, girl... just drank tea at your aunt's place... But Chunhe was wrong, it was not the tea, but the dagger that was poisoned.

It was dinner time, and Jiang Qing came to call them to dinner. Entering the room, they found Quan Si sitting in the outer hall, Chun and Xia Zhi standing at the end of the bed in the inner room. Chu Qingmeng was asleep. Isn't that right? Mother never sleeps at this time of day. "Master Si, why are you here?"

"Young Master." Quan Si's face was not in good spirits when he saw someone from the palace, but he was the son of the Ninth Master after all. Apart from not bowing, he did not say anything radical. He just replied, "The master was poisoned. He just recovered from the poison and is still in a coma."

"Poisoned?!" Mo Jiangqing was startled and rushed to the bedside to check on Chu Qingmeng. He saw that her hand was bandaged and she was unconscious, but her face was rosy and it wasn't serious. "Third Master? Mother's hand..."

"An accidental injury." Shuang Cheng simply explained. Quan Si turned around. He hadn't noticed the old man's other hand just now. He went into the house to remove the bandage. Suddenly, he was overwhelmed and hurriedly began to treat it again. "Why didn't you tell me that my hand was injured!"

After re-bandaging and changing the medicine, it was confirmed that the poison came from the hand, but no one said anything. Does it matter how the poisoning happened? It's still poisoned!

After all this trouble, Mo Jiangqing was in no mood to eat. He asked someone to invite Jiang Che and told the two ladies to just eat with the children and not to wait. The two brothers then stayed in the house to watch over Chu Qingmeng.

After Quan Si finished packing, he went to the outer hall to wait. Although it was nothing serious, he didn't dare leave until his father woke up. Shuang Cheng also went to the outer hall to wait. At midnight, Mo Liujin finally returned, looking exhausted. He had never known his mother could be so unreasonable! Shuang Cheng had broken her hand and summoned the doctor to treat her. Now, even if his father didn't know, he must have known about it. He locked his mother up and forbade anyone from entering or leaving her yard. If he hadn't cared about them, his father would have executed her simply for stabbing Qing Meng.

Pushing the door open, Mo Liujin was stunned. Why was Quan Si here at this hour? Realizing that Quan Si would only stay inside if something happened to Qing Meng, he rushed straight into the inner room. Seeing Chu Qing Meng just lying on the bed, sleeping with a normal expression, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Why are you two still here at this hour?"

Mo Jiangqing frowned and glanced at Mo Liujin with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Father, Mother has been poisoned."

Mo Liujin was obviously shocked, "All four!"

"Our grandfather is fine. The poison was resolved as soon as it occurred." Quan Silian was too lazy to move. He felt angry just looking at Mo Liujin. "If you have time to think about our grandfather again, our grandfather will be buried long ago."

"..." Quan Si was very dissatisfied with him. But he had also encountered the eternal problem, his mother and wife... The feeling of powerlessness he had felt this afternoon was more than he had felt in the past forty years.

Mo Jiangche finally understood why his mother hated concubines and maids. Like his father, his great-aunt, as a concubine, clearly had no right to interfere in his marriage, but she was his biological mother, and his mother had to be considerate. Even though his mother held a higher status in his grandparents' eyes than his eldest aunt, the princess, his great-aunt looked down on him and would cause trouble at the slightest opportunity. Even though his mother was now a princess, his great-aunt would still scold her, stab her, and poison her. And his mother had to worry about the charge of matricide, so she couldn't retaliate. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had endured all this to protect them from being targeted at court, and now he was still comatose. How many times had his mother been implicated by him? He raised his hand and slapped himself hard. He was truly incompetent. He turned and left the room, standing at the door.

Mo Jiangqing didn't say anything else and walked out of the room to stand next to Mo Jiangche.

"Brother, I finally understand why mother hates concubines and maids." Mo Jiangche suppressed his emotions and looked up at the sky.

"Yeah." Mo Jiangqing just responded, and looked at the starry sky in deep thought with mixed emotions.

The next morning, Chu Qingmeng woke up in a daze and opened his eyes weakly, but there was no difference between day and night.

"Mother? You're awake!" Mo Jiangche rushed to the bedside, knelt down, took Chu Qingmeng's hand, and looked at her. Mo Liujin, who was taking medicine, also turned around and walked to the bedside. Mo Jiangqing stood at the foot of the bed and felt at ease.
