When Taya heard that Nanqu had something very important to discuss and wanted to see her immediately, she came out without hesitation.
Taya was raised to the highest standards by her father from a young age, and she has never made a mistake in judging people.
Although Anna's actions these days seem to defy all reason, she has never overstepped the bounds.
Anna knew how serious she was about her studies, and she wouldn't disturb her class unless something really came up.
Nan Qu saw Taya walking quickly towards her and knew that she believed her.
A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips; however, her joy was short-lived. Upon seeing Taya's expression, her face turned serious.
Just now, she had already checked the pulses of everyone else, and now seeing Taya's complexion, she knew without checking her pulse that Taya, like these people, had been poisoned.
Taya strode over, and upon seeing Nanqu's solemn expression, she paused: "What's wrong?"
Just as Nan Qu was about to speak, a guard rushed in to report: "Your Highness, many people in the city have suddenly developed fever symptoms today, and some have even died."
Taya didn't even bother to find out why Nanqu had summoned her, and hurriedly asked the guard who entered, "What? Why is this happening? When did this happen? Why are you only reporting this now?"
The guard instinctively looked at the head guard.
The captain of the guard looked at Charles.
Charles then explained, "Your Highness, this happened yesterday. At that time, only some people had fever symptoms, and I had already arranged for the Cult of Light to purify them."
Taya looked at Charles: "You did the right thing, but why is the situation getting worse now?"
Nan Qu was speechless. Just how bad is the medical level in this world? What if they can't purify it and then claim these people are some kind of evil organization and strangle them?
Thinking back to Leo, Nanqu suddenly realized that her idea might actually be true.
Seeing that Taya was about to leave the city, Nanqu quickly called out to her, "Taya, I have something to discuss with you."
Upon hearing Nanqu call Taya by her name again, Xia Er instantly became very displeased with her: "Miss Anna, the people are in trouble now, and Her Highness the Princess should be comforting them. Instead, you are wasting the Princess's time at this time. What are you up to?"
Nanqu ignored Xia Er and looked at Taya instead.
If Taya chooses to leave now, then she will pretend she knows nothing and return to her space to leave this place.
The fate of this place will no longer concern her.
Nanqu came from a family of martial arts heroes.
Having just transmigrated to a martial arts world, she found herself captured and taken to the training base of the Dragon Guard. The Dragon Guard had no women; she would die if she revealed her gender, and she would also die if her abilities were weaker than others.
In order to survive, she abandoned everything modern and started anew.
It was also during that era that Nan Qu, who originally only studied traditional Chinese medicine to inherit her family's clinic, was struggling in the Dragon Guard while secretly studying books in her spatial dimension and researching poison-making, all in an effort to detoxify herself.
She succeeded and became the fearsome Dragon One, a name that struck terror into the hearts of all the Dragon Guards.
I have also witnessed countless acts of deceit and treachery.
Nan Qu's only consolation was that she had memories of her past life, which prevented her from becoming a heartless killing machine. It allowed her to retain a sliver of conscience even in that dark place.
However, she didn't have that much conscience. She was able to save Taya because she knew that Taya was just a woman who loved music and was very talented.
It was her courage—that, despite being so weak, she dared to shield everyone behind her—that inspired her.
However, if Taya begins to fear her or doubt her, then Nanqu feels that she no longer needs to stay here.
She didn't want to become a farmer to save a snake that could bewitch her.
Looking into Nanqu's eyes, Taya felt that if she didn't trust her now, she would lose something important.
So Taya stopped in her tracks: "What is it?"
Charles was extremely anxious: "Your Highness, people have already died. If you cannot appear immediately to appease them, the people's trust in you will be greatly diminished. If they leave, your territory will be left without anyone to rely on!"
Taya reached out her hand to stop Charles from continuing, saying, "Charles, send someone to check the situation first. I'll go with Oliver later."
Charles wanted to say something, but when he saw Taya looking at him, he finally glared at Nanqu and said, "Yes, Your Highness." Then he left.
Taya watched as Sharl left, then turned to look at Nanqu.
Nanqu also looked at Taya, signaling Taya to have everyone on both sides step back.
Taya looked at Nanqu, then waved her hand: "You may all step back."
In the end, only the head guard remained.
Taya quickly replied, "Oliver can be trusted. You can tell me anything directly."
Nan Qu then said, "The reason I came to find you is because I just discovered that most of the people in the castle have been poisoned."
Taya exclaimed, "Poisoning? What's that?"
Nanqu choked, "I don't know what you're exclaiming about? "There are many things in the world that are highly poisonous. The guard captain is very knowledgeable and must have encountered animals like venomous snakes, right? If you are scratched or bitten by such a venomous animal, the wound will immediately turn black and the toxin will spread into your body through the blood."
The consequences range from unconsciousness to death.
Oliver nodded in agreement: "That's right, dark creatures can exhibit the behavior you described. However, they only need to be purified by cultists of light. If there are no cultists of light around, or if the darkness spreads too quickly, they can only await death."
Taya had never ventured out to gain experience, so she naturally didn't know these things. Moreover, as a princess, she was always surrounded by followers of the Light Cult, so there was no possibility of encountering dark-type animals.
Nanqu went straight to the point: "I just checked, and most of the people in the castle are showing signs of poisoning, and the symptom of the middle stage of poisoning is fever. I suspected that the people might be poisoned, and now it seems that my guess was correct."
