Two days later, the antidote was finally sent to all the people of Jiangcheng.
It was time for Wei Wangqing to return to the capital.
As early as when He Sheng was arrested, Wei Wangqing submitted a memorial to the Empress, stating that a new city lord would be transferred soon.
Now all that's left is to escort the prisoners back to the capital.
"Changming, would you like to enter the palace as a royal physician? After all, you made a great contribution in this matter."
Wu Changming shook his head. "I want to save all people in the world, not just the royal family."
"Alright, but the Empress can't possibly be unaware of what happened this time, so you must return to the capital no matter what."
"Okay, anyway, I don't really have anywhere I want to go, so it doesn't matter where I go."
Wei Wangqing went to the Lin residence again.
After saying goodbye to Lin Dagui, he met Chen Zhiyan.
I felt a little nervous when I met the Sixth Princess this time, perhaps because I felt that I treated her differently.
"When are you returning to Beijing? Would you like to come with us?"
"Okay." Chen Zhiyan hurriedly said one word and then stopped talking, feeling that he was being a little unreserved.
Wei Wangqing smiled and said, "Then get ready, we'll set off tomorrow."
"Okay." This time, he said it very slowly. Hmm.
Wei Wangqing smiled and said, "Okay."
Early the next morning.
Before the group had even left the city gate, someone came to report.
"Your Highness, there are two people outside who want to see you. One of them claims to be Wuchen."
Wei Wangqing was pleasantly surprised; this could be considered meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
"Let them in." With that, he dismounted.
Hearing Wei Wangqing's joyful voice from inside the sedan chair, Chen Zhiyan couldn't help but wonder who had come to make her so happy.
"Dust-free".
"Your Highness."
The two shouted at the same time.
When Chen Zhiyan lifted the carriage curtain and saw the two of them gazing at each other, his face immediately turned cold.
Why did you come here?
"I..." Wuchen had only uttered one word when the woman behind him tugged at him.
"By the way, Your Highness, this is the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan, Wu Tu. I met her not long after leaving the capital, and then Wu Tu traveled with me." After saying this, she glanced cautiously at Wei Wangqing.
This infuriated Wu Xun, who was following him for so long without ever receiving a kind word from him, yet he seemed hesitant to speak when he saw this woman.
Similarly, Wei Wangqing's impression of this woman was not much better. After all, the Wu Clan had almost wiped out the people of her city, and now she was following Wuchen, and he didn't know what her purpose was.
They both gave a forced, insincere smile.
"Wuchen, don't let just anyone follow you around, lest you get sold out."
"Uh..." Wuchen didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, he didn't want to either, but this woman was just shamelessly following him.
"I am not some nobody, but a noble Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan," Wu Yi said proudly, raising her head.
Wei Wangqing sneered inwardly. Did all the people of the Witch Clan think they were superior? Wu Changming was like that, and so was Wu Yi. She would tolerate Wu Changming because he had saved the entire city, including herself, but she would not tolerate this Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan.
“That’s true. The Witch Clan doesn’t even care about human lives, let alone cats and dogs!” Wei Wangqing said.
When Wu Jun first heard this, she thought that this person was quite sensible, and that she wouldn't make things too difficult for her out of respect for Wu Chen.
And then, look at what this person said.
"What do you mean?"
"Doesn't the Holy Maiden know? The Witch Clan almost wiped out the people of an entire city of my Great Wei," Wei Wangqing probed.
The priestess's expression immediately hardened, and she was no longer as nonchalant as before.
Even Wuchen frowned. What was going on?
Seeing that the Holy Maiden seemed genuinely unaware, Wei Wangqing thought for a moment and said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you ask your own people?"
"Wu Changming," Wei Wangqing called out to the back.
Wu Changming, who had been trying to minimize his presence, suddenly broke down.
Wu Xun only noticed his presence now: "Wu Changming? What are you doing here?"
Wu Changming could only walk over with a bitter expression and recount what had happened during the days the Holy Maiden was away.
"...And so, the elders of the clan couldn't stand me always rescuing people from behind, and I couldn't stand their inhumanity, so I ran out and was rescued by the Sixth Princess."
"As for that voodoo, I don't know what it is, but it is definitely something that only exists in our tribe."
Wu Xun pondered, realizing he had to return to his clan.
Turning to Wuchen, she said, "I have to go back to my clan first. I'll come back to find you!" She then turned and left. While seemingly ruthless, she was actually afraid that if she looked at him again, she wouldn't be able to leave.
Wuchen didn't react much. This person had been bothering him for so long, and finally he was gone.
Wei Wangqing no longer held such a strong prejudice against her; this Wu Yi seemed to have a different view of Wu Chen…
Wu Changming turned to Wei Wangqing and said, "Our Holy Maiden is indeed unaware of this matter. She has been traveling outside for the past few years, and she is different from them."
"I see."
Wei Wangqing then turned to look at Wuchen.
"Are you leaving?" Wuchen asked, looking at Wei Wangqing's large group.
"Mm." Wei Wangqing nodded.
Wuchen was somewhat disappointed: "I just arrived..."
"Feel sorry."
Wuchen chuckled, "Your Highness, why apologize? I only came here because I heard that Your Highness was sent here to treat the plague. It's good to meet Your Highness, and if I don't, it's good to come here to comfort the people."
Chen Zhiyan couldn't stand it any longer, so he snorted and lowered the curtain.
