Question after question made the man unable to raise his head.
"Wang Liu! It's you!"
"What is your intention in poisoning everyone?"
The man called Wang Liu had gone crazy and could only point at Lu Yanluo and say, "It was this witch who poisoned me! You have to believe me!"
"Hehe." Chu Xuan sneered, drew out his sword and cut off Wang Liu's belt.
A medicine bottle rolled down.
Lu Yanluo picked up the medicine bottle and sniffed it gently: "It's Xiaoyao Grass. It seems that you poisoned everyone again in order to create the illusion that there is something wrong with me and use this to slander me."
Wang Liu collapsed and knelt on the ground.
The villagers' anger was completely transferred to Wang Liu: "You actually poisoned everyone in the town? What is your intention? Have we ever offended you?"
"Offended?" Wang Liu smiled sinisterly and stared at Lu Yanluo with a sinister expression: "You are very capable, just wait for me!"
After saying that, he threw the thunder bomb in his hand.
After a puff of smoke, the whole person disappeared!
The villagers came forward one after another: "Miss Divine Doctor, we all misunderstood you. Can you tell me if the antidote can..."
Lu Yanluo shook her head gently: "I can't do anything about the antidote. Wang Liu was right. There is a most important ingredient in the antidote, called Forget Star Grass, which has been maliciously bought out. So please give me some time to find Forget Star Grass."
After finally coaxing all the villagers, Chu Xuan squatted on the ground and pinched the gunpowder traces left by the thunder bomb with his fingers.
Lu Yanluo leaned over: "Did you find anything?"
Chu Xuan stared at the traces of gunpowder and said calmly, "Our dynasty stipulates that all gunpowder that is not made by the imperial court is collectively called black gunpowder. Coincidentally, I handled a case of black gunpowder in Yecheng a few years ago. It was a group of clowns who wanted to restore the previous dynasty and used black gunpowder to carry out several explosions."
His voice became increasingly low and cold: "Ye City is in chaos because of the plague. Buying out the antidote and inciting the villagers to burn the current princess to death, either one of these will cause chaos in the world. By then, the people will be living in misery, and the only one who will benefit will be the former prince - Ye Chen."
There was also a dark look in Lu Yanluo's eyes.
But the only thing in common is hatred in their eyes.
…
The two were chatting happily and didn't notice that Yan Xiwan had already run away.
She ran all the way to a remote alley in the city, gritting her teeth and shouting, "You said you could get the villagers to burn Lu Yanluo to death, but those untouchables are all trash. They can't even convince a woman like Lu Yanluo. What's the point of me helping you?"
The man at the end of the alley chuckled.
He was completely shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see his features, but his voice was bewitching.
"waste."
The man uttered only two words and then disappeared.
Yan Xiwan cursed: "You villain! You used me! I will tear you into pieces and dismember you, leaving you with no intact body!"
Her curses reached the rooftop. The guard beside the man rubbed his ears and asked, "Master, do you want me to go and deal with her?"
The man shook his head. "In Tianji Country, only King Ye Chu Xuan can be considered a contemporary genius. With that woman by Chu Xuan's side, he can cause unrest in his backyard. This will only benefit our cause. There is no need for us to clean up the mess for him."
"Yes." the guard replied.
The man smiled mysteriously again: "The situation in Yecheng has already started, and it is time for us to act. As long as we make that woman Lu Yanluo useless, we will cut off Chu Xuan's left and right arms."
"Give the order and get started—"
…
Lu Yanluo finally chose to try her luck outside the city - Forget-me-not Grass is a very common wild herb. Even if the person behind the scenes has the ability to buy out all of it, it is impossible for him to not only buy the grass growing outside the city, but also the grass growing outside the city, right?
So with this in mind, Lu Yanluo went out of the city.
Then she met a group of men in black, who drugged her without saying a word, put her in a sack and took her away.
When she woke up again, she found herself tied up in an extremely simple room. She almost wanted to laugh: "Is it that serious?"
When one plan failed, they tried another, and it even turned into kidnapping.
Lu Yanluo moved the tightly tied rope, but the rope became tighter and tighter, rubbing her wrist so hard that it felt burning.
"If I were you, I would give up. The more you struggle, the tighter the knot will be."
A man's voice suddenly rang out in the room. His tone was cold and casual, but his voice sounded a little weak.
Lu Yanluo's eyes flashed and she turned her head suddenly. She saw a man sitting on a chair not far away. He was dressed in black, his face was a little pale, and he held a handkerchief to his lips and coughed lightly.
A man dressed as a servant opened the door and held a bowl in his hand: "Sir, medicine."
She moved her nose and smelled the smell of medicine in the air.
The man took the bowl, drank it all, and waved his hand to signal him to leave.
His condition seemed to have improved a little, and he said calmly: "I invited the princess to be my guest this time, but I have a small matter to discuss with you. I heard that the princess has excellent medical skills and a kind personality, so she can't bear to see the people of Yecheng suffer. It's just the matter of Yecheng this time. I hope the princess can stay here at ease and don't worry about it anymore."
"Guest? I've never seen anyone tie up a guest with a rope." Lu Yanluo said calmly, staring at the man's face sharply. "Who are you? What does Yecheng have to do with you?"
"What does the matter of Yecheng have to do with me? The truth is probably not something the princess can understand." The man laughed softly, coughed twice, and his face became paler. "The princess is kind-hearted and will not agree. Ye has no choice but to offend her."
Lu Yanluo's heart tightened, and she immediately said, "If you kill me, no one will be able to cure your illness."
The man paused, his eyes fixed on her, "What do you mean, Princess?"
"I don't know what your illness is, but there is something wrong with the medicine you drank. There is a silver coin in the medicine, which moistens the lungs and replenishes qi and blood. But if lotus leaves are added, it will become poisonous. It makes your pulse better and maintains the balance of the medicine. If another lotus leaf is added one day, you will die suddenly."
She said that she had thought about it before, this person has extraordinary martial arts skills, and his every move shows his extraordinary internal strength. He must be a talented person in the world. It's a pity that he is bedridden and will not live long.
Therefore, what these people pursue most is recovery, and other things such as family, country and the world can come second.
Only by living can we have hope and realize our ambitions!
As she expected, after hearing her words, the man lowered his eyelids, hiding the sharp coldness and bloodthirsty murderous intent in his eyes.
Suddenly he started coughing violently, and covered his lips with a handkerchief, which was then stained with blood.
He calmly covered the blood on his handkerchief, asked someone to come in and untie the ropes on her body, and made a gesture of invitation: "Then I'll trouble you, Princess."
Lu Yanluo sat opposite him, raised her hand and placed it on his wrist, frowned and said: "Young Master's old illness is not serious, but it is still aggravated by the poison. I can cure it, but it requires something. This time the venue is wrong, you can come to the capital to find me later."
The man twirled his fingertips, pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke.
"I will not harm the princess, but she cannot interfere in the affairs of Yecheng, so please leave Yecheng. I will send someone to look after her, and after the matter is over, I will send her back to the palace unharmed."
Lu Yanluo's hands tightened, he was indeed the prince of the former dynasty, Ye Chen!
The next second, just as she was about to speak, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Wang Liu appeared at the door, his eyes wide open: "Isn't this the princess? Bitch! Where is your sharp tongue? Ye Chen, give this woman to me! I want to kill her!"
Lu Yanluo instantly became alert and stood up and moved away from them: "You are actually in the same group!"
