The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

At this time, Gu Lingyue and others arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Tang lived. She asked Wang An to wait at the gate, and she took Yunshu and Qiutong into the courtyard.

There was a smell of medicine in the yard, and bursts of coughing could be heard coming from the main house in the yard.

Gu Lingyue frowned.

Just then, she saw a middle-aged woman dressed as a nanny coming out of the small kitchen nearby with a bowl of medicine.

Although the woman was not ugly, her face looked a little haggard and worn.

Gu Lingyue knew that this person was Wenxiu, Tang's maid who came with her as a dowry. She was married to the manager who managed Tang's property. She had no children and her husband died a few years ago, so she returned to Tang.

"Miss?!" Wenxiu shouted in surprise when she saw Gu Lingyue standing at the door.

At this time, Gu Lingyue heard that the coughing sound just now had become much smaller, and it was obviously suppressed.

Gu Lingyue nodded and said, "I'm going back home today, so I'll come see my mother."

When Wenxiu heard this, she thought of Gu Lingyue's marriage swap and her eyes turned red.

Liu was too bullying. In order to prevent her daughter from marrying Prince Jing to bring good luck, she changed the marriage of their eldest daughter.

Now her young lady is sick and the Tang family is not in the capital, so there is no one to make decisions for her eldest daughter. Poor eldest daughter, what should she do in the future?

Thinking of this, she continued, "The young lady was just talking about you. I didn't expect you to come here now. The young lady must be very happy to see you."

"Wenxiu, is Yue'er back?" A weak and anxious voice came from the room.

Hearing this voice, Gu Lingyue felt a little sad. She didn't know whether it was because the original owner's emotions were still affecting her, or because she had never felt the love of her mother since she was a child, which affected her feelings at this moment.

"Mom, it's me. I'm back to see you." After saying that, Gu Lingyue pushed open the door and walked into the house. Qiu Tong took Yun Shu and walked towards the small kitchen with snacks.

The furnishings in the house are not luxurious, but they reveal the owner's taste and refinement everywhere, and this refinement is also mixed with warmth.

Mrs. Tang was lying on the bed, so thin that only skin and bones were left, and her face had turned sallow due to the pain from the illness.

She saw Gu Lingyue coming in and struggling to sit up. Wen Xiu, who followed Gu Lingyue in, saw this and hurried forward, put the medicine bowl in her hand on the bedside table, then helped Tang to sit up and leaned against her back with a soft pillow.

Tang looked at Gu Lingyue and smiled: "Yue'er...you...are back? Ahem~"

She spoke in a low and cautious voice, as if she was afraid that Gu Lingyue would be angry, and she coughed a series of times as soon as she finished speaking.

Wenxiu quickly picked up the medicine bowl on the table and said, "Miss, please drink the medicine first and then talk to the young lady. The young lady won't leave for a while."

As she spoke, she looked at Gu Lingyue with pleading in her eyes.

Tang didn't take the medicine bowl, but kept looking at Gu Lingyue without blinking, as if she was afraid that Gu Lingyue would turn around and leave when she drank the medicine.

Gu Lingyue also looked at Tang. Although she was tortured by illness at this time, her facial features still showed how beautiful she was in the past, and her eyes were full of love. Gu Lingyue dared to conclude that she really loved the original owner.

This can also be concluded from the dowry she gave to the original owner.

"Please drink the medicine first. I won't leave."

After getting Gu Lingyue's assurance, Tang took the bowl of medicine from Wenxiu's hand, drank the medicine in one breath, and handed the bowl to Wenxiu.

Wenxiu took the empty medicine bowl, picked up a towel, and wiped the corners of Tang's mouth.

Gu Lingyue wanted to examine Tang's body, but everyone knew that the original owner was a complete idiot and had no medical knowledge. She couldn't come up with an excuse, so she took a few steps forward and came to Tang's bedside. "How are you feeling now?"

Tang smiled and asked Gu Lingyue to sit down beside her. "I'm much better now. Don't worry, it's just an old problem. But are you used to living in Prince Xing's Mansion?"

Although she felt a little tired from sitting, her Yue'er was rarely close to her, and she wanted to talk to her Yue'er more.

In her current state, she doesn’t know if she can hold on until her daughter Yue’er comes to visit her next time.

"..."

Gu Lingyue didn't expect that Tang didn't know that she had been married off. She looked at Wenxiu. When Tang didn't look at her, Wenxiu shook her head gently at Gu Lingyue, pleading with her face that Gu Lingyue would not tell her young lady about her marriage exchange.

She was afraid that her young lady would not be able to accept the fact that the eldest daughter was married off to a living dead man to bring good luck.

Gu Lingyue knew what Wenxiu meant. After all, with Tang's current physical condition, he could not withstand any blow.

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm living well in Prince Xing's Mansion."

As she spoke, she took advantage of her closeness to Tang's and grasped her hand with one hand, while the other naturally rested on her pulse.

Tang didn't think much about it. Since her daughter wanted to be close to her, she naturally agreed.

"...That's good..." She nodded, lowering her eyes slightly to hide the sadness in them.

In fact, she did not agree with her daughter marrying someone from the royal family, but unfortunately her daughter was willing and the emperor granted the marriage, so she could do nothing about it. She could only hope that her daughter would be happy in the future.

At this time, Gu Lingyue had already taken Tang's pulse.

Tang's health was worse than she had thought. In addition to the illness she had sustained during childbirth, she was also depressed and angry, and due to years of worry, her condition had reached a very dangerous level.

Gu Lingyue frowned, thinking about what she had promised the original owner.

Now that I occupy this body, I will take good care of her mother for her, fulfill my filial duty, and make up for the mistakes she made in the past.

So she collected her thoughts, looked at Tang seriously and said, "Mother, you..."

"Madam, madam, something bad has happened..."

At this time, a man's voice was heard outside, interrupting what Gu Lingyue was about to say.

The previous owner was not close to Tang, let alone her younger brother, so Gu Lingyue didn't know who the owner of the voice was. Tang and Wenxiu knew that the owner of the voice was Chen Da, the coachman Tang found for her son.

Tang looked at Wenxiu, but without her saying anything, Wenxiu nodded and walked out.

"What's wrong? Why are you shouting so loudly? Don't you know that Madam needs to rest?" Wenxiu's voice was heard outside.

"Mammy, please go and take a look. The young master has been bitten by a snake."

Gu Lingyue's pupils shrank sharply and she subconsciously looked at Tang.

Tang's originally sallow face turned extremely pale, and her body was shaking constantly. She moved her lips for a long time but couldn't say anything. Finally, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
