As far as she knew, this person should be working as a royal physician in the palace. Why would he be in the exile procession?
Could it be that he still has feelings for me and has come to save me?
Xu Youyou's eyes lit up at the thought, and her tone became affected.
"Guangbai, did you come to see me? Actually, I was interested in you back then, but the Fifth Prince was too domineering, and I was worried that he would hurt you, so I chose to break off the engagement."
Xie Guangbai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. He really didn't know how Xu Youyou could have the nerve to say such a thing.
If Xu Youyou had expressed herself directly, he could have praised her as a true villain, but now, with Xu Youyou's behavior, she probably still wanted to use him as a pawn.
Not content with using me once, she actually wants to use me again. Does she really think she's some kind of cunning and manipulative enchantress?
Xie Guangbai sneered, "Xu Youyou, you're overthinking it. I didn't come here because of you. Hurry up and drink this medicine; I have to go back and report."
Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou instantly dropped her affected manner and asked in surprise.
"Reporting back? Reporting back to whose life? Is it Xu Jinhuan? Could it be that Xu Jinhuan ordered you to poison me? No, I won't drink the poison, I don't want to die!"
As Xu Youyou spoke, she became increasingly frantic. She suddenly stood up, grabbed Xie Guangbai's sleeve, and said urgently.
"Guangbai, listen to me! I am the protagonist of this world. If you kill me, this world will collapse, and you will die too. You can't be an accomplice to evil!"
Xie Guangbai's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. He even suspected that Xu Youyou might have contracted the plague, so he didn't bother to explain any further.
Seeing that Xu Youyou was unwilling to drink, he directly pinched her chin, forcing her to open her mouth.
Xie Guangbai opened the bamboo tube and poured the sleeping pills inside into Xu Youyou's mouth. Only after Xu Youyou had swallowed them completely did he release her.
"Xie Guangbai, you will die a horrible death! Even as a ghost, I will not let you go. I will drag you down to the eighteenth level of hell with me!"
"Xie Guangbai, with your viciousness, you deserve no one to truly like you, and you deserve to live a lonely and helpless life in this world!"
"Why didn't you die with the Xie family back then? When I get to the underworld, I'll devour all the souls of the Xie family, so they'll never be reincarnated!"
Xu Youyou seemed to really believe she was going to die, and started spewing insults and curses at Xie Guangbai. If she could, she would have strangled Xie Guangbai.
After cursing Xie Guangbai, Xu Youyou seemed to remember something and suddenly started to vomit the poison out.
Unfortunately, the medicine Xie Guangbai prepared was absorbed very quickly, and it was now very difficult to vomit it up.
Xie Guangbai suppressed his anger. If he hadn't suspected that Xu Youyou was still useful to his master, he would have thrown a packet of bone-dissolving powder into Xu Youyou's mouth so that she would never be able to speak again.
The deceased family members will always be Xie Guangbai's Achilles' heel.
Meanwhile, Xu Youyou, who was causing trouble on the side, felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and she drifted off to sleep in a daze.
Xie Guangbai grabbed Xu Youyou by the collar with disgust and dragged her toward where Xu Jinhuan was resting.
"Master, Xu Youyou has fallen into a deep sleep, but before she fell asleep, she seemed to have developed hysteria and said some things that were incomprehensible. Should I take a look at her?"
Xu Jinhuan, being not too far away, naturally heard Xu Youyou's words. He glanced at the ground indifferently and said to Xie Guangbai.
"There's no need to go to so much trouble for her. Just keep her alive for now. Guangbai, as a doctor, you should know better than me how to make someone live a painful life."
Xie Guangbai's eyes flickered upon hearing this. Did his master mean that he could use Xu Youyou as a guinea pig for medicine as he pleased, as long as she didn't die...?
Xie Guangbai bowed respectfully to Xu Jinhuan, "Guangbai thanks Master for his guidance."
Xu Jinhuan casually waved his hand, signaling Xie Guangbai to take Xu Youyou away.
Xie Guangbai immediately dragged Xu Youyou to a nearby place where Xie Datou had arranged a carriage for him. Inside, besides the wounded, there was only himself and some medicinal herbs.
Xie Guangbai pulled back the carriage curtain and saw Kong Duiyue sitting inside. He nodded politely, then dragged the unconscious Xu Youyou into the carriage.
"What is this?" Kong Duiyue asked.
Xie Guangbai casually explained, "He's an annoying person; Brother Kong, you don't need to bother with him."
Kong Duiyue nodded silently. After finding Jin Huan, he had also investigated the basic information of the body she used, so he naturally knew about Xu Youyou, who had taken over her body.
It seems this person must be Xu Youyou.
But why didn't Jin Huan just kill the person directly?
Kong Duiyue's pupils suddenly contracted, as if she had thought of something.
Could it be the same as it was back then?
Thinking of this, Kong Duiyue drew out a wisp of zombie virus from the center of the crystal core in her head and quietly placed it into Xu Youyou's body.
This zombie virus won't turn her into a zombie, but it will temporarily put her under Kong Duiyue's control. If this person threatens Jin Huan, Kong Duiyue can kill her instantly.
Even if divine punishment were to descend, he would not let Jin Huan get into trouble.
Before long, Xie Datou and Li Yichang had arranged for everyone to get on the carriage.
Yesterday, when they went to buy a carriage, at Xu Jinhuan's request, they bought the largest carriage available, so it wasn't too cramped for everyone.
Xu Jinhuan also sat in her own special carriage, and the horse she was responsible for pulling was, of course, Xiao Hong, the Akhal-Teke horse she had abducted from the Long Mansion.
Xie Datou was the one driving the carriage. When he saw Xiao Hong, he was so captivated that he couldn't move. As soon as he heard that Xu Jinhuan needed someone to drive the horses, he raised his hand and volunteered before anyone else could.
Xu Jinhuan sat in the spacious carriage, leisurely sipping tea while feeling the gentle breeze caressing his cheeks.
"This is life."
But it seemed that fate was always against Xu Jinhuan. Just when she was in a good mood, she heard the familiar system notification sound again.
[Beep beep, a drought disaster is imminent. One day countdown, lasting 15 days. Please prepare carefully!]
After hearing this reminder, Xu Jinhuan rolled his eyes. Another natural disaster. It really doesn't give people a moment to catch their breath.
Although she was inwardly complaining, she still had to do what needed to be done, so she pulled back the carriage curtain and said to Xie Datou.
"Big Head, if we cross the river, remember to have everyone store water, because we're likely to run out of water in the coming days."
Upon hearing this, Xie Datou's face, which had been beaming with joy at being close to the Akhal-Teke horse, instantly turned serious.
He knew his boss wouldn't speak without reason; if he said that, it meant a drought was likely coming.
"Okay, boss. I'll tell them to speed up their journey and get to the watery area as soon as possible!"
