However, just as he was about to secretly travel from his fiefdom to Jiangbei, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates.
It is said that someone saw an ugly, dark-skinned woman with a little girl of a few years old following behind the refugees.
The woman was also incredibly strong; most adult men couldn't handle her.
Upon receiving the news, he didn't hesitate much, thinking that Emperor Qing's people probably wouldn't expect him to detour to Jiangbei, so he followed the news directly to this place, unaware of when he had fallen into their trap.
Looking back now, I realize that the Gu worm was probably planted on me when I was still in my fiefdom. I just don't know who planted it.
The Miao people colluded with barbarian bandits, wanting to completely annex the territory of the Qing Kingdom; they truly used every means possible.
"Oh, is that so?"
Upon hearing Wei Wuxiu's reply, Jiang Xinrui's tense body relaxed slightly.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Wei Wuzheng staring at her, his eyes seemingly scrutinizing her.
This startled her, and she quickly and guiltily averted her gaze, saying:
"I only asked because I was worried about them. If those two people really are General Shen's sister-in-law, that would be good. As long as they are still alive, there is still a chance."
It's unclear whether she was saying this to Wei Wuxiu or to herself.
After she finished speaking, she stood up and said goodbye to Wei Wuxiu.
Wei Wuxiu didn't say anything more, only nodded slightly, and then gestured to Xiao Rui, who had been standing next to him, to deliver it.
Xiao Rui stood at the door, watching Jiang Xinrui leave with a dazed expression, before returning to Wei Wuxiu's side, his expression still showing a hint of infatuation.
"Your Highness, this Doctor Jiang is truly beautiful inside and out, and speaks so gently."
"Yeah?"
Wei Wuxiu gave Xiao Rui a meaningful look, then looked away, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, sighed, and said meaningfully:
"The human heart is the most complex and ever-changing thing, and it is also the hardest to define. Sometimes the transformation between good and evil is just a matter of a single thought."
Xiao Rui looked completely bewildered, not understanding what his master meant at all.
He was about to ask a question when Wei Wuxiu changed the subject:
"Even though we're now on the ship heading to Jiangbei, we must not let our guard down."
"Understood."
"Yes, I'm tired. You've worked hard these past few days too. Have someone keep an eye on you and get some rest."
Wei Wuxiu waved his hand, then went to his bed.
...
Yan Xiao had no idea that she was now on a boat with the female lead and the second male lead. Having not been to bed for so long, she washed up a little and went straight to sleep.
Nothing happened during the night, and she slept relatively soundly.
The next morning, she slowly got up after Shen Qiyue brought back their breakfast.
They had only eaten half of breakfast when Man Yi brought over Lou Guyu, who was still unconscious.
Lou Guyu has been in a coma for two days and has not eaten much. It is not a good idea to keep him hungry.
So Yan Xiao had already planned that once they were on the ship, she would first remove some of the toxins from Lou Guyu to wake him up, and then slowly cleanse him of the remaining toxins.
Seeing that Yan Xiao was still eating, Man Yi didn't disturb her. Instead, at Shen Qiyue's suggestion, he put Lou Guyu on the bed and sat quietly to the side waiting.
Yan Xiao did not deliberately delay. After finishing her breakfast in a few bites, she took the silver needles and began her planned detoxification.
At this moment, her supernatural energy was sufficient, making it easier to deal with the poison in Lou Guyu's body, but only somewhat.
According to her calculations, even if she did her best to detoxify Lou Guyu, it would still take at least five uses of her special ability energy to finish.
This was under the special circumstances of Lou Guyu's physique. If it weren't for the strange energy in Lou Guyu's body, the number of times would have been doubled.
However, all of this is impossible, because if Lou Guyu hadn't had a special constitution, he would have died long ago and would never have had the chance to be treated.
Time passed by, and as Man Yi waited anxiously, Yan Xiao finally put away the needles.
"how?"
As soon as Man Yi asked the question, he saw Lou Guyu's eyelashes tremble slightly, and then he opened them directly.
"Young Master!"
Man Yi excitedly stepped forward and met Lou Guyu's somewhat bewildered gaze.
Lou Guyu had just woken up, and his head was still a little dizzy. He was not quite sure what was going on with him.
Upon seeing the familiar Man Yi, he relaxed slightly and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Man Yi, where is this?"
"The ship, on the ship, we..."
"Let me tell you."
With that mouth of his, it would take who knows how long it would take to explain things clearly, and Yan Xiao had no interest in listening to him utter a single word.
As soon as she spoke, she saw Lou Guyu turn his head to look at her. When he saw her appearance, it was as if he had seen something offensive, and he immediately turned his head back.
The next moment he said:
"Man Yi, what is that ugly, black thing? Throw it out."
Yan Xiao: ? ? ? ? ? ?
Shen Qiyue: !!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
Man Yi:........
Before Man Yi could even speak, or rather, before his speechless habit prevented him from doing so, he and his young master were grabbed by Yan Xiao and thrown out of the room.
With his martial arts skills, he could have easily resisted, but when he met Yan Xiao's murderous gaze, he didn't dare utter a single word.
After being thrown out of the room, he looked speechlessly at his young master, who still had a bewildered expression on his face.
He really wanted to say that the color his young master was wearing on his face wasn't much better than Doctor Yan's.
What I really want to say is that his young master is really good at starting trouble, but Doctor Yan's fire is not easy to extinguish.
That person is the type who demands money at the drop of a hat. They're already in debt; if they owe any more, they'll have to sell themselves...
Unfortunately, even though he had a thousand and one complaints he wanted to say, his mouth couldn't keep up with his brain's train of thought.
Seeing that his young master had come to his senses from his daze and was angrily reaching into his sleeve, clearly intending to use a Gu poison, he immediately became anxious.
"No!"
As he spoke, he half-dragged and half-carried Lou Guyu into the next room, afraid that this little rascal, having just woken up, would offend Doctor Yan, his lifeline, before he had even figured things out.
As for Yan Xiao himself, his anger hadn't subsided much even after throwing Lou Guyu and his servant out of the room.
Although the book describes Lou Guyu as a serious person who is obsessed with good looks and is actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, it doesn't say that he has such a sharp tongue!
Damn it, with such a sharp tongue, why didn't she use poison to fight poison and get rid of the Gu poison? It's infuriating!
Yan Xiao grew angrier the more she thought about it, and picked up the mirror in the room to look at herself.
She watched every day, but couldn't see anything. So she turned to look at Chen Qiyue, who had been standing to the side looking at the sky and the ground, but not at her, since the beginning.
"July, come here."
Shen Qiyue didn't really want to go over, but she never dared to disobey Yan Xiao, let alone Yan Xiao who was currently furious.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Yan Xiao wasn't one to lose her temper easily. She put down the mirror, brought her face close to Chen Qiyue's, pointed to herself, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
"Look, do I look a bit fairer these past few days?"
Shen Qiyue:......
Ever since Shen Qiyue learned that Yan Xiao would become fair-skinned after recovering from her illness, she has paid just as much attention to Yan Xiao's skin color as Yan Xiao herself.
Therefore, in just these two days, she really can't see anything.
She cleverly told a white lie:
"You've gotten even fairer, sister-in-law. You're even fairer than you were a couple of days ago. I reckon it won't be long before you become even more beautiful."
