Chapter 221 Anmu Deceived Mo Xiao
"I really want to save Mother too," Xia Yue said softly, looking into her brother's eyes. "Could you let me think about it some more?"
Seeing this, Feng Yao didn't press the matter further. He simply used disinfectant wipes to gently clean his mother's face and arms.
Xia Yue felt a bit stifled staying here, so she decided to go out for some fresh air.
It was evening, and Qin Yeting and Shang Zexi were busy with official business.
Only royal guards and Qin's bodyguards were in the manor. Xia Yue sat on the swing in the back garden, swaying gently, her head bowed, lost in thought.
Under the dim light, a strange figure appeared shortly afterward.
Xia Yue thought it was her brother coming to find her.
Looking back, I discovered it was actually white smoke wearing a veil!
The white smoke that everyone in Country A is looking for right now!
Xia Yue quickly glanced around to make sure no one else was there before standing up and asking, "Yan Yan, what are you doing here?"
"I accidentally stole what Auntie was talking about at the Shen family's place."
Considering the recent online manhunt for me, I can't escape; I'll be caught by Mo Xiao sooner or later.
"Since that's the case, why not trade me for the century-old black ginseng? At least Aunt Feng can get out of danger sooner, which would be a way of repaying your life-saving grace..."
"Yan Yan..."
"Let me finish speaking first." Bai Yan interrupted Xia Yue and continued, "Although I was still hiding in XZ these past few months after leaving Mo Xiao, it was the happiest time of my life in recent years."
I'm already very happy to be able to enjoy this freedom.
But these things were stolen and cheated, and they will be returned sooner or later. I don't deserve to enjoy them forever.
Yueyue, don't be embarrassed. I just came to thank you. Thank you for saving me, and thank you for our acquaintance.
Bai Yan was genuinely grateful to Xia Yue.
Xia Yue felt even more guilty after hearing her friend say that.
She had originally intended to help her friend escape her misery, but instead, she was being pushed back into hell.
"Yanyan, I'm sorry..." Xia Yue couldn't say anything else besides apologizing at this moment.
Bai Yan smiled and held her hand, saying softly, "Alright, don't be sad. I'll have to rely on you to take good care of my mother from now on."
"Don't worry, I will definitely take full responsibility!" Xia Yue promised confidently.
Just as the two were talking, Xia Yue's phone rang.
When I opened the caller ID, it was from Anmu.
Xia Yue swiped to answer the call.
An Mu's anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "Where are you? I got the Black Blood Ginseng, come quickly to treat Sister Yun!"
"You got it? How did you get it?" Xia Yue asked in surprise.
Bai Yan was standing right in front of her. Mo Xiao wouldn't hand over the person unless he saw Bai Yan.
Unless it's robbery.
Or... a lie?
"Never mind how I got it, come and save people!" Anmu's voice was impatient.
Xia Yue also wanted to save her mother first, so she decided to go and check on her.
"Yanyan, go back first, hide your identity, and don't let anyone find out! Anmu said he found the Black Blood Ginseng, I'm going to go check it out first." Xia Yue told Bai Yan not to self-destruct for the time being.
When Bai Yan heard that Aunt Feng could be saved, her eyes lit up with hope, and she nodded to Xia Yue in agreement.
And so, the two parted ways for the time being.
Xia Yue returned to the RV, but Feng Yao was still there.
Anmu was panting, holding a black box in his hands, clearly indicating that he had just arrived.
"Check it first to see if it's a hundred-year-old black blood ginseng!" Anmu handed the black box to Xia Yue.
Xia Yue took it, and as soon as she called, she smelled a strong ginseng aroma, as if it were about to become a spirit!
The entire Black Blood Ginseng is red, almost black, with a hint of luster in its black color, making it very unique!
Xia Yue carefully examined the roots and found that it was indeed a top-grade black blood ginseng that was a hundred years old, an absolutely good thing!
My mother's health can be saved.
Very good.
Xia Yue's face was filled with ecstasy as she exclaimed, "This is definitely the real deal!"
"That's good, hurry up and use it! Quickly detoxify Sister Yun!" Anmu urged loudly.
“This black ginseng needs to be boiled with firewood to maximize its medicinal effects. The medical equipment in the RV isn’t up to par, so I have to go to the manor to boil it,” Xia Yue said loudly.
Anmu nodded in agreement and even sent ten guards to accompany him and protect the Black Blood Ginseng.
Xia Yue became even more certain that this black blood ginseng was of dubious origin; otherwise, Emperor Anmu wouldn't have been so nervous.
But no matter what, as long as my mother can be saved, that's all that matters.
The other conflicts were between the royal family and the black pirates of Country A, and had nothing to do with her.
Xia Yue began to seriously prepare the medicine.
Not long after, Qin Yeting returned and came to find her immediately.
Seeing that Xia Yue was safe and sound, Qin Yeting clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked, "Is this the century-old black blood ginseng?"
"Mm." Xia Yue nodded, gently fanning herself with her fan to adjust the heat.
"How much longer until the medicine is ready?" Qin Yeting asked again.
"It'll probably take another hour, what's wrong?"
"Mo Xiao's men are already causing trouble outside, and I don't know how much longer I can hold out here."
"Huh? Anmu really stole it?"
"It's not robbery, it's deception. Stealing from a pirate captain isn't that easy," Qin Yeting told Xia Yue, clearly knowing the inside story.
“Anmu knew that Gu Chen was skilled in disguise, so he had Gu Chen find someone with a similar build to Bai Yan, impersonate Bai Yan, and send them to Mo Xiao in exchange for the Black Blood Ginseng.”
Such a despicable and blatant act certainly has the style of a dog emperor.
Xia Yue mentally complained, but outwardly controlled her tone and continued to ask, "So, Mo Xiao has found out now and is coming to cause trouble?"
"Well, Mo Xiao and Bai Yan have known each other for so long, so of course the imposter was exposed quickly. Mo Xiao is furious right now." Qin Yeting felt a little sorry for the pirate captain.
However, this medicine can save my mother-in-law.
Despite his sympathy, he will continue to support Xia Yue in saving Feng Yun.
"Given Mo Xiao's temper, once he realizes he's been tricked, will he retaliate against my mother in the future?" Xia Yue suddenly began to worry.
"There's no need to worry about that. The culprit is An Mu. If the two of us step in, and we exchange some shares of an oil company for it, he shouldn't cause trouble for my mother-in-law."
When faced with crucial moments of interest, Mo Xiao is still able to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.
Qin Yeting analyzed in a loud voice.
Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
So the most important thing now is to get my mother to take the medicine.
After taking the medicine, Mo Xiao wouldn't make anyone vomit it up, would he?
Before we even ate it, there were always so many variables.
At this crucial moment, Anmu came over personally to urge, "How much longer will it take for the medicine to take effect? Can you hurry up?"
"This is decocting medicine, not making soup. The heat and time are crucial and cannot be reduced by even a fraction, otherwise it will affect the final result," Xia Yue explained firmly.
Seeing this, Anmu could only pace back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pan.
Not long after, his subordinate rushed over to report.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Mo Xiao has led his men and stormed in!"
