The autumn is clear and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days.

A pomegranate tree in the orchard by Rongjia Lake is full of fruits and red, bent the branches, looking very pleasant, but in the mansion, except for the carefree children, there is no trace of joy on everyone else's face.

It has been seven days since Yuan Qiu was dispersed by Su Yan's poisonous wife.

Even though Yuan Qiu didn't say anything and didn't even talk much, his family still knew that it didn't take a month to detoxify Yuan Qiu, only ten days, and now, there are only three days left.

Even the ghost Taoist was helpless and anxious to get angry. As the "untalented" disciple of the ghost Taoist, Mrs. Xin, and the "very qualified" disciple of the ghost Taoist, she was even more willing but not enough to help Yuan Qiu.

In fact, their poison skills are ranked among the top digits in the world, not to mention ordinary people, but their current crisis is too difficult and time is not waiting for people.

The poison was always destroying her body, while almost all her relatives and friends gathered around her, but she could not count on anyone else and could only rely on herself.

It was not Yuan Qiu who was sad about this, but his relatives and friends who watched her thin and haggard day by day, and her life was passing by, but she was helpless.

Rong Lan has been very thin these days and has hardly seen her eyes closed at night. But she can't do anything except make delicious food for Yuan Qiu every day, and she doesn't even dare to disturb Yuan Qiu.

As time goes by, Su Mo's condition has become a little dazed in the past two days. Except for Yuan Qiu, he no longer talks to anyone else. If someone calls him, he always can't hear it.

Rong Yuanlang wiped tears behind his back and said to Rong Yuancheng that before meeting Yuan Qiu, Su Mo knew that he had never been so depressed when he knew that his life was not long ago. Although he didn't laugh at that time, he was really calm.

Now, under Su Mo's surface silence, there is huge pain, despair and anxiety.

Of course they all believe in Yuan Qiu, but care is confusing. This is not a problem that can be solved by the word "believe".

For several days, the Rong family had dead prisoners carrying out the bodies, all of which were killed by Yuanqiu's hands of the heartbroken medicine for himself, and even three died in a day yesterday.

Yuan Qiu had an incomplete antidote from the beginning and always wanted to make up for the poor ones.

At first two times, although the death row prisoners who took the antidote died in the end, the antidote caused them to die slowly, which is a good sign.

But in the past two days, Su Mo saw that after taking the Duancao Powder and then taking the latest antidote made by Yuan Qiu, people died faster and faster...

There was also a time when Yuan Qiu was impatient. She had a nightmare the day before yesterday. When she woke up, she collapsed and cried, saying that she didn't want to leave Su Mo, she didn't want to leave their children, and she didn't want to leave her mother and brothers and sisters.

But the emotions come and go quickly. Yuan Qiu wiped away his tears and focused on detoxification. His physical condition has been getting worse and worse in the past two days, but his spirit is still good. Even if she was taking antidotes to death, she could calmly collect a little blood, record the symptoms, and then ask Su Mo to arrange for the body to be cleaned out.

Su Mo's heart had long been broken, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Yuan Qiu. He had not even looked at the child for several days, and only guarded Yuan Qiu without leaving. Even when Yuan Qiu was asleep, he was awake, and the fear of losing Yuan Qiu could not be eliminated.

Rong Yuanshun hadn't appeared in front of Yuan Qiu for several days, but he actually came to Guanlanyuan every day, secretly replaced the flowers he picked, and then left silently, not daring to disturb Yuan Qiu, and just looked at Yuan Qiu secretly. Seeing that her face was getting worse and worse, she always had red eyes when she left.

Rong Yuanruo, who has been very cheerful since childhood, cried every night, and Jun Zihuan was also much silent.

Originally, the mansion gathered in the warm room for dinner every day. At first, Su Mo and Yuanqiu stopped going, but later Rong Lan did not appear, Rong Yuanshun did not go, Duan Rong and Duan Yunhe did not go, and later everyone stopped going.

At this time, no one can raise Yuan Qiu. When you raise it, you can't hold back your emotions. Getting together is just more depressing and uncomfortable.

Early in the morning that day, when Rong Yuancheng appeared in the court, all the civil and military officials were a little surprised. Although he was the emperor, he had not been to the palace for a while. Jun Zihuan Rong Yuanfeng and others who had helped him handle the government affairs have not appeared recently.

The city of Wan'an was calm and outsiders did not know what happened to the Rong royal family. They were secretly discussing it, but the wedding that happened suddenly and was suddenly cancelled.

As for Yuan Qiu, except for the time when the hospital was first completed, she rarely appeared in front of people after the hospital was on track. Everyone in the world knew that she gave birth to a pair of twins. Apart from that, there was little new news about her, although she has been praised by the people.

Therefore, most officials in the court did not know what happened to the royal family recently. They thought that Rong Yuancheng would come to court in person if he had time today. Several officials reported some unimportant things. Rong Yuancheng listened quietly, but said nothing.

Qi Ming, who knew a little bit of the inside story, sighed in his heart. Rong Yuancheng was not here to deal with the government affairs. He was afraid that he was depressed at home and came to the palace when he went out and walked around, and he didn't even wear a dragon robe.

Finally, Rong Yuancheng seemed to have listened carefully to the officials' words, but also seemed to have not heard at all. He didn't say a word, and got up and left, like a sleepwalking.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and after a while, Qi Ming took the lead in leaving, "It's all gone."

Someone whispered that the emperor was in a bad state, and someone immediately said that the world was peaceful and good, and there was nothing serious about it.

After Rong Yuancheng left the palace, he returned to the Rong family. You Wu and the child were not in Yuanbao's residence. He didn't go to find him. After entering the study, he took out a jade carving that was about to be completed, which he wanted to give to Yuan Qiu. He was exquisite in carving and should have completed it long ago, but because of his uneasiness, he had already scrapped a few good jade pieces.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Rong Yuancheng was in a daze, he almost stabbed the carving knife into his palm, and suddenly heard You Wu call him.

Rong Yuancheng looked up blankly, and saw You Wu rushing over, snatching the knife, frowned and said, "Be careful!"

Rong Yuancheng put down the jade and smiled bitterly, "If I said, I would rather be the one who interrupted me, even if I would die, as long as I let my third sister live well, would you feel that I was irresponsible?"

Rong Yuancheng said what he kept in his heart. He now has his own small family, a wife and son, so he shouldn't think so, but that's how he really thought so.

You Wu's face was slightly dark. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "No. If I really have the chance to replace my younger sister, I am willing."

You Wu could understand Rong Yuancheng's mood. By chance, he occupied Yuan Qiu's identity and position since childhood and grew up next to Rong Lan. Later, after Yuan Qiu returned home, she was always guarding this family.

And You Wu himself also had a new life because of Yuan Qiu.

They were willing to do everything for Yuan Qiu, even if they gave their lives.

"Today is..." Rong Yuancheng whispered.

You Wu's face looked ugly, "It's the eighth day."

"I want to go and see my third sister, but I don't dare." Rong Yuancheng's face was bitter.

"Mom is going to Huguo Temple again," said You Wu.

Rong Lan, who once did not believe in ghosts and gods, went to Huguo Temple today to pray for Yuan Qiu. Yuan Qiu said that he did not want her to be known by outsiders. Rong Lan went to Huguo Temple the night before and knelt down the mountain one by one. There was a thing that many people in the family thought Rong Lan didn’t know, but she had known it a long time ago. After she went up the mountain the night before, she saw Master Huiming and said, “Qiu'er was sent back to me by the Bodhisattva. I just wanted to ask the Bodhisattva not to take her away.”

A sound came from the door. You Wu turned around and saw a little head leaning in. It was Qing Xiuyi.

"Uncle Acheng, Aunt You, my grandfather asked you to go to the lake!" Qing Xiuyi said seriously with a small face.

Rong Yuancheng and You Wu didn't know what the Ghost Taoist was going to do, but in fact they didn't know what they could do now, so they followed Qing Xiuyi to the lake.

At this moment, a lot of people gathered by the lake. When Rong Yuancheng and You Wu approached, they found that someone had a scarecrow by the lake, wearing a skirt, a piece of cloth on his face, and two big characters "Su Yan" were written on it.

"One person stabs! Let this bitch go to hell soon!" the ghost Taoist roared.

Soon, the scarecrow was covered with knives and daggers. Finally, Rong Yuan came over with a stern face, took down all the knives and daggers, and then ordered "Su Yan" with a torch.

The ghost Taoist said, "If the ghost girl really has a few shortcomings, I will bury him with you!" After saying that, he left with a cane.

Although no one in the Rong family blamed the ghost Taoist, Duancao San was created by him and taught to Su Yan. He himself could not accept the result of this now. If Yuan Qiu really lost his life because of Duancao San, he felt that he could die.

At this time, Guanlan Courtyard was still as calm as before.

The weather was clear and the sun was shining. Yuan Qiu asked Su Mo to open the window. She sat by the window, with no blood on her face. Suddenly, she vomited blood again, turned her head slightly, and vomited in a clean teacup.

There were ten teacups on the table, five of which were stained with blood. It was not yet noon, and Yuan Qiu has vomited blood for the fifth time since he woke up today.

Su Mo poured a cup of warm water and rinsed Yuan Qiu's mouth.

"Amo, go to the medicine warehouse to help me get two medicinal herbs, bring them all." Yuan Qiu said to Sumo.

"Okay." Su Mo wiped away the blood from the corner of Yuan Qiu's mouth, turned around and went out, and came back in a moment. He brought back the two medicinal materials that Yuan Qiu needed and placed next to her.

After Yuan Qiu saw it, he did not use it immediately. Instead, he looked at the leaves of the Alcatraz tree that were shining with yellow sunshine outside. He squinted his eyes and said weakly, "I want to go out and bask in the sun."

Su Mo's heart sank and was about to come over to hug Yuanqiu. Yuanqiu told him to push the wheelchair he had used before.

Su Mo turned around, a drop of crystal tears slid from the corner of his eyes, and he quickly walked out of the room.

After waiting for a while, Su Mo pushed the wheelchair outside, came in and picked Yuan Qiu up and placed it on the wheelchair outside.

Su Mo hugged Yuanqiu many times. Recently, she was hugging her every day. However, Su Mo's heart became heavier and heavier. Yesterday, Yuanqiu was unable to stand alone and prevented her family from visiting her, because she was afraid that everyone would feel uncomfortable when she saw her now.

"Do you want to go out?" Su Mo asked softly.

"Go to the orchard to have a look. Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the pomegranates should be ripe." Yuan Qiu pulled out a pale smile.

Su Mo pushed Yuan Qiu away from Guanlan Courtyard. On the way, Yuan Qiu saw beautiful leaves, so he asked Su Mo to pick them up and put them on her lap. She wiped them with a veil.

The two avoided the warm-up pavilion and walked on the path to go directly to the orchard on the other side of the lake.

There is a layer of golden leaves on the orchard ground. When the wheelchair walks by, it makes a crisp sound.

Yuanqiu closed his eyes and felt the gentle wind. The bright warm sun falling between the leaves. The sound of insects and birds singing came from his ears. The faint fragrance of flowers and fruits floated in the air.

The wheelchair stopped, Yuan Qiu opened his eyes, and the pomegranate tree was right in front of him.

Seeing the red and big pomegranate, Yuan Qiu's eyes spread, "Amo, pick one of the best ones for me."

Su Mo jumped up and picked the most beautiful pomegranate on the top of the tree for Yuan Qiu.

Yuan Qiu hugged her hands with her smile, "It's so beautiful, take it back and put it on the table."

"Do you want to eat Qiu'er? I'll peel one for you?" Su Mo asked softly.

Yuan Qiu shook her head slightly, "I don't want to eat it now." Her sense of taste has begun to decline in the past two days, and she is afraid she can't eat the sweet and sour pomegranate. But she has always liked the color of pomegranate, and she feels bright when she sees it.

Su Mo pushed Yuan Qiu and walked around the orchard for a while, picked up a few fallen leaves, and then went back to Guanlan Garden. He did not meet anyone else in the family in the middle. In fact, someone saw them on the other side of the lake, but he did not come to disturb him.

Back in the study, Yuan Qiu asked Su Mo to find a very beautiful white porcelain plate, which was given by Duan Yunhe, saying that it was an antique of which dynasty, worth a thousand gold. Yuan Qiu spread the red, yellow and green leaves he brought back on the plate, and then placed the pomegranate in the middle, like a cluster of gorgeous flowers. The strong color made the whole room lit up a little.

Yuan Qiu started to be busy again, and Su Mo was by his side until nightfall. Su Mo couldn't help asking Yuan Qiu, "Qiuer, won't you try the medicine today?"

Yuan Qiu shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet, I won't try today."

For Su Mo, this is not good news, because after tonight, there are only two days left for Yuan Qiu.

It’s not that Yuan Qiu doesn’t want to stay up late, but that she is getting more and more tired and can’t stand it at all.

When Yuan Qiu fell asleep, Su Mo heard footsteps outside the door and carefully got out of the bed. Put on his coat and went out, he saw Rong Lan standing under the eaves.

The cold moon is as cold as frost, and Rong Lan's face is not as warm as the slightest.

"Qiu'er went to the orchard today, picked a pomegranate and put it in the room, saying that she was in a good mood." Su Mo said in a low voice. Rong Lan would come here every night. Su Mo would tell her what Yuan Qiu did, but she deliberately avoided the bad ones, and what she could say was very limited.

Rong Lan asked softly, "Didn't you test the medicine today?"

Su Mo shook his head and remained silent.

After a long silence, Su Mo turned around and returned to the room, and Rong Lan slowly walked out of Guanlan Courtyard.
Chapter completed!
