I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Chapter 169 Mother and Child Gu Encounter Dark Dragon

The house looks very ordinary from the outside, but it is antique inside, with a sense of low-key luxury.

Situ Hao led An Muxi into the inner room, and saw a young woman holding a medicine bowl and feeding medicine to the patient in bed.

When the woman saw Situ Hao coming in, she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, you are back?"

Situ Hao nodded calmly and said, "Just let the maid do it. It's hard work for you."

The woman's expression froze. At this time, the person on the bed said, "Hao'er, you're back? Thanks to Yun'er for taking care of me these days, you should thank her."

Situ Hao's expression eased a little when he heard his mother's voice. He said to the woman, "I'm back now and I've asked a doctor to come over. You don't have to bother Sister Yun'er anymore. I'm so grateful to you for the past few days. I'll give you a thank you gift later."

The woman was looking at An Muxi behind her curiously at this time. When she heard him say that, she quickly replied, "Brother Hao, you don't have to be polite to me. This is what I should do. Is this the doctor you invited?"

Situ Hao nodded, obviously not wanting to say anything more to her.

The woman was very perceptive. She stood up and said to the lady on the bed, "Aunt, I will go back first and come to see you another day."

The lady on the bed said kindly, "Go ahead. You've worked hard. Go back and have a good rest."

Miss Yun'er bowed and walked out, nodding politely when she passed by An Muxi.

An Muxi smiled back. She felt that the relationship between Situ Hao and Yun'er was a little subtle.

Situ Hao introduced An Muxi, "Miss An, this is my mother. For some reason, her health has been rapidly declining in the past two years, and we have never found the cause."

An Muxi stepped forward and saluted Madam Situ: "Let me feel Madam's pulse."

Mrs. Situ saw An Muxi looking at her son in confusion. She had never seen such a young and beautiful doctor.

This feels a bit unreliable. Could it be that my son is bewitched by this beauty?

Sure enough, she saw that there was something wrong with her son's eyes when he looked at An Muxi. Mrs. Situ began to dislike An Muxi.

An Muxi didn't care about her expression. She just wanted to confirm what she was thinking and treat her as soon as possible so that she could leave.

She sat down in front of the bed, held Mrs. Situ's pulse, and closed her eyes slightly.

Then she frowned slightly, and after half a cup of tea, she withdrew her hand.

She looked at Situ Hao, indicating that she wanted to talk to him alone. Mrs. Situ said a little dissatisfiedly: "Miss An, right? I know my body well. Just say whatever you want to say!"

Situ Hao looked at his mother and comforted her, "Mom, you should take a rest first. Miss An is an excellent doctor and must have found something wrong. I will tell you later."

Mrs. Situ was more obedient to her son, so she closed her eyes helplessly.

Situ Hao led An Muxi to a room next door and asked, "I wonder how my mother's condition is? Why didn't Miss An tell me in person?"

An Muxi hesitated for a moment and said, "I originally felt that there was something strange about your condition. Although you have rheumatism, it is not rheumatism that caused your physical condition to deteriorate. I suspect that someone has planted a Gu in you."

Situ Hao's face suddenly changed when he heard this: "What? I was poisoned by someone? What does that have to do with my mother?"

An Muxi continued, "At that time, I suspected that someone had planted a mother-child Gu in you. Now I have confirmed that the mother Gu is in your mother's body. Someone has been controlling the mother Gu to eat your mother's nutrients. This way, her health is getting worse and worse, and it has indirectly affected you."

Situ Hao's face turned pale. He seemed to have thought of something and asked angrily, "Miss An, do you have a way to break this Gu?"

An Muxi shook her head helplessly: "Although I can see this poison, I have to find the person who put it there to break it. Since she can control the insect, she must be able to remove it. I can only prescribe a prescription for your mother to regulate her body, but this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure."

Situ Hao was a little disappointed and nodded: "Thank you very much, you can stay in this room later, thank you for your hard work in the long journey."

An Muxi reminded him, "Master Situ, you should search for it as soon as possible. The person who poisoned you must be someone close to you. Judging from your mother's condition, she doesn't have much time left. If she dies, you will..."

Situ Hao's face was extremely ugly. He didn't expect the person behind this to be so vicious. Could it be that he was after the position of the manor owner?

Thinking of what Luo Yun had said to him before she left, he already had some guesses in his mind.

Situ Hao still said to An Muxi gratefully: "Thanks to Miss An this time, otherwise my mother and I might not know what happened until we die."

An Muxi smiled and felt a little sympathetic towards Situ Hao.

"Miss An, take a rest first. I'll have lunch delivered later."

An Muxi nodded, and Situ Hao left.

As soon as he left the room, his attendant came over and said, "Master, the leader of Shadow Pavilion is here to visit you."

Situ Hao was a little puzzled. He knew the Shadow Pavilion, which was a force that had developed in recent years. However, their Guiyun Villa and the Shadow Pavilion had always kept their distance from each other. He wondered what the leader of the Shadow Pavilion was doing here?

However, he also knew that the Shadow Pavilion was now quite powerful, and of course he would not neglect the other party.

"Please go sit in the flower hall, I will be there later."

"Yes."

After he left, Qiu Shuang asked, "Master, when are we going back?"

An Muxi smiled: "We just got here and we're in a hurry to go back? It's rare for me to come out, so it's okay to stay a few more days."

Qiuyue was also a little worried: "Master, we feel that there are many masters around here, it's a bit unsafe. It's better to leave as soon as possible."

An Muxi was stunned. This was indeed a problem, but she was hired to rescue people. Those masters should also be from the villa. They would not attack her, right?

She thought for a moment and said, "Wait another three days. I can't cure the poison anyway, so it will be appropriate to leave then. I can't just leave right after I get here, right?"

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue couldn't persuade her and could only be more vigilant.

In the flower hall, as soon as Situ Hao entered, he saw a man with a black and gold ghost face sitting there with two other ghost face men standing behind him.

Although tea was served, it was a bit awkward because the mask could not be taken off and the tea was just for show.

Situ Haoyi bowed and smiled and said, "I didn't know that the Pavilion Master was visiting. I apologize for not welcoming you in person."

Dark Dragon also stood up and bowed: "I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here."

Then the air suddenly became quiet.

Situ Hao waited for Anlong to tell him the purpose of his visit, but the man didn't say anything for a long time.

As the owner of the villa, he had no choice but to take the initiative and say, "Master, you have come from afar, why don't you stay for a few days, and I can also do my best to be a good host."

"Very good!"

Situ Hao: ...

Is this person really rude? It's really a bit confusing.

Are you just here for vacation?

But now that the words have been spoken, there is no reason to take them back.

It would be fine to just entertain them for a few days. His focus now is on finding out who put the poison on them.

So he asked his attendants to arrange for Anlong and his companions to stay in the guest rooms, and then left in a hurry.

The servant brought Anlong and his party to the guest room, and happened to meet An Muxi who was strolling out after lunch.

An Muxi was stunned when she saw Anlong. How could she meet him here?

She said, "Brother Anlong, why are you here too?"
