She figured that if worst came to worst, she could still kill a cow with her bare hands.
Xiao Guoer looked at him with a hint of disbelief, and whispered, "Mom, you're lying again."
Jiuxi smiled, her dry lips showing a bleak look. "Who poisoned me?"
Xiao Guo'er's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said, "Mom, I don't know either."
Jiuxi stopped talking. She was indeed very tired. This poison was extremely vicious. Although most of it had been expelled by her, the residual poison left in Xiaoguoer's body would still continue to produce toxins. Therefore, she could only transfer all the poison into her body. Her foundation was stable, so she should be fine in the short term.
As long as we return to the underworld and get rid of the poison, Xiao Guoer has endured it for so many years, so what can't she endure?
About an hour later, Ling Zhou returned clutching a medicine bag. He opened the bag and showed Jiu Xi the herbs one by one. His delicate features were filled with worry as he said, "Sir, you...you don't look well."
Jiuxi waved his hand and said, "You go out and boil the medicine. I'll go to the City God Temple to take a look."
She glanced at Xiao Guoer, then reluctantly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. She didn't leave in a hurry, but instead gave Gui Ma a few instructions. Then, looking at Ling Zhou, who smelled of medicine, she said, "If anyone is in trouble, the carriage will take you back to the underworld."
Ling Zhou nodded, knowing that Jiuxi did this for their own good. There might be some evil spirits and ghosts in the City God Temple. Ling Zhou only regretted that he could not be stronger so that he could help this stubborn woman.
Jiuxi walked into the City God Temple with a wary look on her face. It was just dawn and the temple was empty, but there was a pool of blood on the ground. She looked at the crooked statues, the fallen incense stand, and the dilapidated window and door frames, and felt that the City God Temple must have been looted, otherwise how could it be in such a dilapidated state.
She approached the statue in a daze. Before she could place her hand on it, she smelled a strong smell of corpse. She frowned, and then Li Zang's voice rang out from behind her, "Empress! You are finally here!"
Li Zang was full of joy as he spoke, but the Queen was too slow and he had been waiting for several hours!
Jiuxi froze in her tracks, and she was reluctant to turn around. Her eyes were as cold and calm as dead water. The corners of her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything in the end. She was choked with sobs. She was afraid, and when she turned around, she saw him.
Li Zang was puzzled and jumped in front of Jiuxi. Looking at Jiuxi's pale face, he said seriously, "Your Majesty! Listen to me...the Lord will be back soon!"
He's not in now.
She raised her eyes and said contemptuously, "You don't have to tell me! Just hand over the City God!"
Li Zang pursed his lips and reluctantly dragged an old man out from the corner. The old man was beaten black and blue, his mouth was swollen, his clothes were covered in dust, and a mouse had escaped from his sleeve. Jiuxi's frown deepened, and his tone was filled with anger, "Heh...what does he mean by this?"
This unconscious City God, that short and fat temple keeper, and everything that happened in this City God Temple were probably all his work.
Why did he do this? Was he still thinking about the old relationship?
It's too ironic.
Even though Li Zang was a zombie, he could see what Jiuxi was thinking at this moment. He quickly waved his hands and said righteously, "Your Majesty, this was not done by the Lord!"
"Hasn't he done enough things like this?" Her voice was hoarse but powerful.
