Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Rong Ruiyuan coldly looked at the two imperial physicians in front of him, adding another mark to his mind. If they weren't his father's men, he would have dealt with them immediately.

"Will she continue to gain weight?" Rong Ruiyuan didn't want the reputation of the Third Prince's residence to be affected by any changes in Gu Antong's situation.

"It's hard to say," the two imperial physicians said ambiguously. "This is the first time we've encountered such a medicine, so we need to observe it further."

"She hasn't been eating anything, yet she'll continue to gain weight. Don't you have any medication to help alleviate this?"

To prevent the Third Prince's residence from becoming a laughing stock, Rong Ruiyuan even instructed the kitchen to minimize all food rations as long as Gu Antong didn't starve to death.

He did want to just starve the person to death and get rid of the problem, but he was afraid that it would sound bad. Besides, after this incident, his father had sent a royal physician to guard the area, and he didn't want to be seen as heartless and ungrateful.

If he really dares to do that, then the throne will probably be out of his reach.

The two imperial physicians shook their heads simultaneously. They weren't lying about this; they had tried to force-feed the medicine, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

In the backyard not far from here, Gu Antong was also wiping away tears. She hadn't eaten for several days, and at most she could only drink some soup and medicine each day, but even so, she was still getting fatter.

The sewing room has already sent clothes several times; if this continues, the blankets might not be able to hold them up.

"Didn't those two imperial physicians come to examine me today?" Gu Antong moved her body with difficulty. She didn't even know how fat she was. She couldn't see her toes when she looked down, and her movements were very slow.

The Third Prince would come to visit every few days, but the disgust in his eyes was unbearable for her.

Just a few days ago, the two of them were all lovey-dovey.

"Not yet," Caihua thought bitterly. She had missed such a good opportunity because she hadn't accepted the olive branches extended to her by the other ladies.

Now that Consort Gu is in this state, the other ladies in the inner courtyard will no longer take them seriously.

These days, she has been subjected to endless ridicule in the mansion. Even when someone tries to talk to her, it's only to find out what Consort Gu is like now.

Since Gu Antong discovered that she was getting fatter, she hasn't even left this small courtyard.

Caihua was even a little worried that if Gu Shuhao continued to get this fat, she might not even be able to leave the room in the future.

"Don't you know? Hurry up and urge them on. You're so dense, you can't even handle this little thing." Gu Antong is getting more and more irritable these days, and she doesn't care about maintaining her image anymore. Sometimes she just opens her mouth and curses, "Let me tell you, if I'm not done, you won't have a good time either."

Gu Antong had no idea why things had turned out this way. Who could be so cruel as to give her such a drug?

In truth, she was more inclined to suspect the women in the inner quarters, and she had even complained to the Third Prince, but the Prince said he would investigate thoroughly, and so many days have passed without any news.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Gu Jia's influence not being strong enough. If she had a powerful family to rely on, things wouldn't be so simple.

Cai Feng was so frightened that she hid in the corner and dared not make a sound, because Gu Antong had become increasingly irritable these days, and sometimes when she got angry, she would really hit him.

She's so big now, and her hands are swollen like fat palm fans; it must hurt a lot if she hits you.

Last time, when things didn't go her way, she slapped herself across the face, and the swelling lasted for two days before it finally went down. "What are you still standing here for? Go and fetch the doctor for me right now." Gu Antong wasn't unwilling to retaliate today, but her body felt increasingly heavy, and her legs were aching slightly. She even doubted whether her legs could support her enormous weight.

Cai Feng nodded hastily, forgetting all the etiquette she had learned during her training at the mansion, and stumbled out of the room.

Stepping out of the room and looking at the clear sky, she felt a chill run through her body.

Her life is now hopelessly bleak. If Gu Antong continues to deteriorate like this, the royal family will not allow such a joke to exist. As her personal maid, one can only imagine what will happen to her.

Now she even envies Caili a little. Just because she was dull and unloved, she was sold off early. Even if the place she was sold to wasn't ideal, at least she kept her life.

With a sigh, she decided to go find someone. Now she could only hope that the imperial physicians could find a way to detoxify Gu Antong, so that she and her servant could have a chance to live.

As for asking the Gu family for help, that's simply impossible. The Third Prince's residence is like an iron barrel now; you can only enter, but you can't leave.

And what can the Gu family do even if they find out? They can't find the antidote, and they can't speak up for the Third Prince.

She rushed to the courtyard where the imperial physician lived, only to learn that the Third Prince had already summoned the physician. She didn't dare to ask and could only wait outside the courtyard, hoping that the physician would return soon.

After waiting for a while, the two imperial physicians returned, their heads covered in sweat.

As soon as they saw Caihua, they knew why she had come. They sighed, and instead of going into the courtyard, they said directly to Caihua, "Let's go see Consort Gu."

Despite being mentally prepared, both imperial physicians shook their heads inwardly upon seeing Gu Antong, who had gained even more weight. It seemed that yesterday's medicine had had no effect whatsoever.

They asked a few routine questions, but even the two imperial physicians were at a loss. Now, when they were asked to prescribe medicine again, they didn't know where to begin.

No matter what medicine she takes, even if Gu Antong doesn't eat for a day, she will still gain weight when she's supposed to.

"How is it? Is there any cure for this poison?" Gu Antong wanted to hear different news every day, but she was always disappointed.

Both imperial physicians shook their heads simultaneously, "This isn't poison; you could say you took the wrong medicine. You also feel that there's nothing seriously wrong with your body."

"How can you say there's nothing seriously wrong? My legs have been hurting a bit today," Gu Antong said impatiently again. "You tell me every day that there's nothing seriously wrong with my body. Don't you feel guilty when you say that?"

"You're all imperial physicians; how can you not see my obvious illness?"

"We are also trying to study what medicine you have in your body," the imperial physician said, feeling troubled. Since entering the Third Prince's residence, he felt like he was being scolded every day.

"There is no poison in your body at all, which is the brilliance of the other party's use of medicine."

Moreover, after so many days, the drug has completely integrated into your body. I'm afraid even if an antidote is developed, there won't be any way to recover..."

Since this Consort Gu likes to bring up old matters, we can't blame them for rubbing salt into the wound. "We think you should go outside for a walk or do something tiring to see if you can get rid of the effects of the medicine in your body as soon as possible."

Gu Antong had considered this method before, but exercising required going outside, and the strange looks she received were unbearable. (End of Chapter)
