The Drug Takes Effect (continued)

She stepped forward and touched Xu Weibei's forehead; it was frighteningly hot.

"Send someone to fetch a doctor. Oh, and invite the Third Concubine from the Marquis's Residence as well."

Suddenly, Gu Wanning noticed that Gu Xiaoxiao's expression was a little off. Standing behind the crowd, she secretly looked over, her expression showing some panic and annoyance.

In a flash, Gu Wanning remembered Gu Xiaoxiao diligently serving soup to Xu Weibei...

Could it be that Gu Xiaoxiao did something wrong?

But what was her purpose?

Depend on!

Gu Wanning suddenly realized that she might have done something wrong, and then couldn't help but glance at Xu Weibei's lower abdomen.

It doesn't seem like it?

"Gu Wanning, Gu Wanning..." Xu Weibei lay on the pillow, his head moving back and forth, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead and the tip of his nose, as if he had fallen into unconscious murmuring.

"I'm here," Gu Wanning said. "My Marquis, please hold on a little longer, the doctor will be here soon."

He Shi handed her a damp towel, which she then used to wipe Xu Weibei's sweat.

Gu Yuanshi voice, "Send someone to invite the Grand Princess as well. The Grand Princess Marquis done."

In case anything happens, the family will be notified immediately.

"No, no..." Xu Weibei heard this and firmly objected, "Don't bring Grandmother. I'm fine..."

He had only one thought in his mind: if something happened to him in the Gu family, even if he ended up unharmed, his grandmother would hold a grudge.

What will happen to him and Gu Wanning in the future?

Gu Xiaoxiao stealthily retreated, her eyes filled with panic.

Gu Wanning had been keeping a close eye on her, and seeing this, she said, "Zhi Nu, go and watch that table of food for me. No one is allowed to touch it! I need to find out exactly what happened!"

Gu Xiaoxiao's face turned even uglier.

"Don't let me find out that someone tampered with it, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Gu Wanning said fiercely.

Gu Anqi said, "He Ge, take your brother and stand guard at the door. Don't let anyone in."

"Yes, Father."

The doctor arrived quickly, but couldn't find anything wrong, only saying that Xu Weibei might have caught a cold.

Gu Wanning was speechless.

Whose cold or epilepsy can flare up so quickly?!

But then she thought again, this quack doctor was the same one who had been treating her mother for years without success, so Gu Wanning felt she shouldn't have any expectations of him.

Let's wait for Third Concubine to arrive.

Third Concubine arrived a little later, but at least she did.

"Sister?" she called anxiously to Gu Wanning, rushing in and almost bumping into Gu Anfang's arms.

In an attempt to avoid her, Gu Anfang scrambled against the wall, scraping the skin off the back of his hand.

However, he was thick-skinned and didn't make a fuss.

"Are you alright?" Third Concubine asked, looking Gu Wanning up and down.

"It wasn't me, it was the Marquis," Gu Wanning said in a deep voice. "Come in quickly and let the Marquis see you."

"Good."

Third Concubine visibly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward, and sat down by the bed to take Xu Weibei's pulse.

As a result, under the watchful, anxious gazes of so many members of the Gu family, the Third Concubine's brows furrowed more and more, and her expression grew increasingly grave.

"What's wrong?" Gu Wanning had a very bad feeling, and she asked the question with great trepidation.

Xu Weibei forced a smile and asked, "Is your life in danger?"

"No."

"That's good." Xu Weibei looked at Gu Wanning, trying to force a smile, but because he was in so much pain, the smile looked worse than a grimace. "If you're not dead, it's nothing serious, don't panic."

Gu Wanning was actually relieved.

But seeing Xu Weibei like this, still trying to comfort himself, it was impossible for her not to be moved.

"Hua Ying, how is the Marquis?" In her anxiety, Gu Wanning called out the name of her Third Concubine.

"Sister, could you let the others leave first? I'd like to speak with you alone for a few minutes."

"Okay." Gu Wanning looked at Gu Anqi.

The most reliable person in this family is the eldest brother.

Gu Anqi understood perfectly and led everyone in the family out, closing the door behind them.

Gu Anfang was lost in thought when Gu Anqi pulled him outside.

He couldn't help but mutter, "This is clearly my room, okay...?"

Nobody paid him any attention.

Gu Anfang was thinking about the time his Third Concubine saw him in an inappropriate scene, and he felt his face burning up.

She came to his room again...

And his room wasn't actually that clean...

But he probably won't be discovered this time; he hid the things under the bedding in the wardrobe...

"What's wrong with me?" Xu Weibei used almost all his willpower to stop himself from rolling around in bed.

He was so hot that all he wanted to do was roll around on the ground, or even jump into the water.

"The Marquis has been drugged," the Third Concubine said. "It's not a clean drug."

Gu Wanning tentatively asked, "Spring?"

"Yes."

Gu Wanning's eyes widened, and after a brief moment of shock, she felt an urge to grab her Third Concubine and run away.

It scared her to death.

She thought someone was going to die!

Oh, it's true that it can easily lead to death.

You bastards, it's all Gu Xiaoxiao's fault!

Now that things have come to this, what is there that Gu Wanning can't guess?

She had thought about it before, but she didn't think it was necessary—could such a low-level, thoughtless tactic be possible?

Reality has proven to be quite ironic.

Now we should arrest Gu Xiaoxiao, the instigator, and hold her accountable to Xu Weibei.

Then let Xu Weibei dump her!

That idiot, he's capable of anything.

But anger aside, and complaints aside, Xu Weibei still needs to solve the problem!

The problem is, Gu Wanning feels that neither she nor her Third Concubine can solve it.

Or, should we go back and ask Second Concubine if she'd be willing?
