While the guests were dining, Mrs. Xibohou had already brought her child into the house. Her current diet was different from everyone else's, and she was still in the recovery stage. On the contrary, Xibohou's face was glowing red, and he was in high spirits, as if he was twenty years younger.
, this meeting is holding wine glasses and toasting one by one.
For those who didn’t know, they thought he was serving as the groom’s official today.
The people sitting at the same table with them were all relatives of Xibohou. Among them, Xibohou's mother was also at the table. There was a woman in her thirties next to her who helped pick up the dishes from time to time and served her very attentively.
Perhaps it was because he was too old to drink too much, so when he returned to the main table, Xibohou was already a little shaken.
"Yue'er, go and help Mr. Hou go back to the bar to wake up." The old lady suddenly said.
The woman known as Yue'er immediately put down her chopsticks and reached out to help Xi Bohou, but was blocked by him: "No, just take good care of your mother, don't worry about me."
With that said, Xibohou staggered forward on his own.
The old lady gave a signal, and the woman followed behind her in small steps and entered the inner hall not far or near.
Hua Yanxi felt strange in her heart. There were so many servants in this house, but there was no one who looked like a master to help them.
Even if this is Xibohou's biological sister, it would be inappropriate to do so in front of guests.
I heard a voice coming from somewhere nearby: "That seems to be the future second lady. I heard that she is Xibohou's adopted sister. Her husband just died two years ago and she came here with her two children."
Hua Yanxi's expression suddenly became dull.
Looking at Ye Yibai who was eating slowly, he said, "Xiao Bai, let's go back."
Ye Yibai was keenly aware of Hua Yanxi's emotions and asked: "Yanyan, you are unhappy, why?"
"It's nothing, I just feel a little upset because there are too many people."
"Oh, let's go then." Ye Yibai said, stood up and prepared to leave.
When they left the table in the middle of the meeting, Xibohou and his wife were not there. Hua Yanxi said to the old lady at the main table: "Old lady, we have something to do, so we left first. Please tell Xibohou on your behalf."
The old lady's face remained silent, but her eyes did not look at Hua Yanxi and she simply responded.
Ye Juechen also put down his chopsticks and said goodbye in the same way.
However, the old lady suddenly called out and said with a smile: "The Seventh Prince is busy with important matters, so naturally we cannot delay. Someone is here to take the Seventh Prince out of the house."
This treatment cannot be said to be different, it can only be said to be vastly different.
Fortunately, Hua Yanxi didn't care what others thought, and she didn't have any emotions when she heard the words.
The three of them walked out together. As soon as they left the hall, they heard a scream: "It's not good, the lady is vomiting blood."
Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar, and even Hua Yanxi stopped in her tracks.
The person who spoke was the nanny. She was seen holding the child and running directly towards Hua Yanxi: "Fifth Princess, madam, she vomited blood."
Hua Yanxi was astonished, why did she look for the nanny instead of others?
After looking around, I remembered that this person seemed familiar, as if I had seen him somewhere.
This person is not like the people in the palace, his emotions are all on his face, and his expression is panicked.
Hua Yanxi followed the nurse inside and asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. The child just peed. I carried the child and changed clothes and went back. I saw my wife vomiting blood and lying on the ground. She couldn't wake up no matter how I screamed. I know that you have good medical skills, so I came to look for you.
"The nanny was so anxious that she lost control of her words.
When Hua Yanxi entered the inner room, Mrs. Xibohou had been helped to lie down on the bed, and blood started to flow from the corner of her mouth that had just been wiped.
After Hua Yanxi made a preliminary inspection, she said solemnly: "Madam has been poisoned."
"Poisoned? But, how could it be poisoned?" The nanny looked surprised.
"Did Madam eat or use anything before you left?" Hua Yanxi asked.
The nanny shook her head: "No, Madam took the young master to take a nap. After waking up, she fed the baby and then carried the young master to the front hall. She didn't eat anything."
Hua Yanxi didn't believe it. The poison was obviously introduced through the mouth. She checked Mrs. Xibohou's body and found no traces of poison.
"Madam, can she still be saved?" The wet nurse was so worried that she was sweating profusely. The child in her arms seemed to feel the mother's safety and suddenly burst into tears with a "Wow" sound.
Hua Yanxi didn't have time to study it carefully at this moment. She saw Ye Yibai coming in and said to the nanny: "You go to the Marquis first. I will treat Madam now."
When the wet nurse went out, Hua Yanxi said to Ye Yibai, "Xiaobai, guard this place and don't allow others to come in."
Ye Yibai knew that Hua Yanxi was planning to use the things in her space, so he left the inner room without saying anything.
His eyes glanced around, and finally landed on the soup bowl placed aside, which contained white liquid.
He picked it up and smelled it. It smelled of milk. He took out a spoon and stirred it, and a strange smell came out.
There was a knock on the door, it was Xibohou.
Ye Yibai took the bowl and went out. Without waiting for Xibohou to speak, he said directly: "Take it out and check. There is something wrong with this thing."
After saying that, he closed the door directly.
Xibohou held the bowl and looked at the closed door. He hesitated to speak, so he had to go out to find someone to check.
In the inner room, Hua Yanxi had used instruments to clean out the poison in Mrs. Xibohou's stomach. Fortunately, she was discovered in time and her life was not in danger.
It's just that gastric lavage is a painful thing. Mrs. Xibohou, who was not healthy to begin with, was lying on the bed with a pale face and fell asleep.
Hua Yanxi put the instrument back into space and quietly left the room.
"Yanyan, how's it going?" Ye Yibai was sitting outside and asked when he saw her coming out.
"It's not life-threatening. The rescue was probably in time." Hua Yanxi simply said a few words without going into details.
However, Ye Yibai said: "The poison was found and was taken to Xibohou for inspection."
When Hua Yanxi heard this, she immediately went out.
In the atrium, the doctor had also detected the toxin: "It is poison. Although the amount is small, it is very deadly. Once ingested, there is nothing you can do to save yourself."
When Xibohou heard this, he fell to the ground, his pupils blurred: "How could it be like this?"
Several servants rushed to help him, but they couldn't get him in.
When Hua Yanxi heard this, she stepped forward and asked, "Who brought this bowl of food?"
The wet nurse said: "This is your slave's milk. The young master will wake up and cry from time to time, so the lady will ask the slave to prepare it. When it is just warmed and ready to be fed, the young master peed, and the slave will take the young master to change clothes.
I didn’t drink it.”
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. The person who poisoned her was not Mrs. Xibohou, but the young prince.
"Fortunately, my grandson is fine. God bless, God bless." The old lady clasped her hands together, full of joy.
