Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 376 Poisoning (3)

Xiaobai, ever since that day when Dugu Chen heartlessly threw her out, had been coming every day to play with Xiaobao for a while. After watching Xiaobao fall asleep, Xiaobai would then return to her own space to cultivate.

On the night of the full moon, Xiaobai appeared in Xiaobao’s room, striding in with the confidence of a tiger and leaped onto the cradle. Stretching out her fluffy tail, she gently brushed it across the little master’s face, playfully teasing him. However, she found that the little master was sleeping so soundly that he didn’t move at all, not even a slight frown on his tiny face.

Xiaobai brushed again, yet it remained the same. After a third stroke, still no change. Xiaobai blinked her tiger eyes in confusion, moved forward, and gently placed her paw in front of the little master’s nose, only to discover that his breathing was extremely weak. Without hesitation, Xiaobai urgently leaped onto the Commandery Princess’s cradle, finding it to be the same. Startled, Xiaobai’s fur stood on end, and she warily scanned the surroundings while continuously sending a mental message to her sister, "Sister, the little master’s breathing is almost gone, hurry over." The mental pleas were persistent, and shortly after, Feng Xuxu’s anxious voice transmitted back, "I am on my way."

Dugu Chen saw his sleeping wife suddenly get up, grab the clothes beside her, and run out of the bed without even wearing shoes.

"Wife, what’s wrong?" Sensing his wife’s panic, Dugu Chen also got up.

"Something’s happened to the children," she said while slipping on her clothes as she ran.

Upon hearing that something was wrong with the children, Dugu Chen’s toes touched lightly on the ground, and in an instant, he flew out of the room. Feng Xuxu, watching Dugu Chen fly overhead, cursed her lack of Qinggong in her heart as she hurried anxiously towards the babies’ bedroom.

Dugu Chen picked up the children and checked their breaths. When he took Dugu Qi’s tiny wrist, he realized it was poison, and it was too late for ’Sleeping Beauty’ antidote. He was about to force the poison out when Feng Xuxu, who had just come in, interrupted him.

"Chen, how are the children?" Feng Xuxu asked him, her eyes wide with terror, clutching at Dugu Chen’s sleeve. Seeing one child in his arms and the other still in the cradle, she let go and quickly wrapped up the other child, extending trembling hands to check for any breaths, finding a slight trace of it, and her heart slightly settled.

"Poisoned," his thin lips barely parted, the worried look on his face turned to the child in his arms as he continuously and gently transferred Inner Strength, fearing that too much force would be more than the little one could bear, resulting in a tragedy.

As soon as Feng Xuxu heard it was poison, she immediately pulled Dugu Chen with her through a mental thought into the space.

After laying the children on the ground, she quickly got some Spiritual Spring water with a bamboo tube and slowly fed Yueyue. Xiaobai also followed them into the space, pacing back and forth on the ground tirelessly, staying close to the little master and refusing to leave.

Seeing this, Dugu Chen also hurriedly picked up a bamboo tube and began to imitate her actions, slowly feeding his son. "Gulp, gulp," two faint gulping sounds were heard, and Dugu Chen, looking closely at his son swallowing two mouthfuls, cried with joy.

Turning her head and seeing this, Feng Xuxu’s worry eased slightly, and she concentrated on feeding her daughter in her arms.

After half an hour of busyness, when Dugu Chen checked the pulse again and found it steady, realizing the poison had been neutralized, he let out a heavy sigh of relief, and embraced his wife beside him, saying with a choked voice, "The children are alright now, that’s wonderful."

Feng Xuxu was teary-eyed, nestled in his embrace, nodding vigorously but unable to utter a word.

Sitting on the grass, both holding their children, they sat in silence for a while before Feng Xuxu, through clenched teeth, asked the person beside her, "Who could have done this? The children have just turned one month old."

Dugu Chen shook his head. Having a poisoning incident under his own roof, aimed at the children, clearly indicated there was an internal enemy, and the wet nurse was the prime suspect.

"Xiaobai, did you see the wet nurse when you went into the room?" Dugu Chen lifted his gaze to stare at Xiaobai, who was lying nearby.
