The unconscious woman coughed non-stop and spat out all the medicine.
Chu Wuyou looked at the blue pill in Ming Yi's hand and said,""Are you sure this is the antidote?"
Ming Yi rolled his eyes at Chu Wuyou.”In order to get the antidote, he didn't rest for a moment. He used his lightness skill to go all the way to his master's house to get the antidote. He even caused himself to be scolded by his master. Who knew that this woman wouldn't appreciate his kindness? She really didn't know how to appreciate a good person.
Chu Wuyou ignored Ming Yi. She pried open Xu Jinghua's mouth and poured the medicine into her mouth. She also transferred some internal energy to make her swallow the medicine.
"How do you have the antidote for the Soul Devouring Powder?”Seeing that Xu Jinghua's breathing had calmed down and her expression had started to ease up, she asked Ming Yi.
Ming Yi's thin lips curled up, and his cat-like eyes were so bright that they were breathtaking.""You want to know?"
Looking at Ming Yi's sly look, his treacherous nature was revealed. Chu Wu You thought that she should not fall for this person's trick and could only say coldly,""It's up to you whether you want to say it or not. I'm too lazy to ask you."
" Actually, this antidote..." Ming Yi was about to speak when he was interrupted. Xu Jinghua coughed a few more times, and Chu Wuyou quickly walked over to take her pulse."The poison is cured."
The effect of the medicine was very fast. After 15 minutes, Xu Jinghua slowly woke up. Her beautiful eyes were breathtaking.
When she saw Chu Wuyou beside her, she was obviously surprised. She quickly regained her composure and bowed to Chu Wuyou,""Thank you for saving my life." Because of the long hanging, coupled with the fact that he had not spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse, like a retting zither string.
"Don't just thank me. This young master gave you the antidote.”Chu Wuyou and Xu Jinghua looked up. Mingyi was nowhere to be seen. When did he leave?!
Chu Wu You was embarrassed for a moment. She took out a few pills from her belt and handed them to Xu Jinghua,""Put this in your mouth. Your throat will be fine in a while.”
Xu Jinghua nodded and obediently put the medicine in her mouth. The pill was sweet, and the fragrance of lilies spread between her lips and teeth.
Qing Huan stuck her head out to take a look, but Chu Wuyou forcefully pushed her head back. She thought, Qing Huan, I'm worried that you will scare this lady when you come out. You should just stay in your sleeves.
"Miss, can you tell me why you have fallen to this state?”Chu Wu You put away her coldness and asked seriously.
Xu Jinghua looked at herself. Fortunately, she had clothes to cover her body. She tugged at her clothes and wrapped herself tighter."Miss, you're not a local, are you?”
"I am indeed not a local. I just heard that there was a flood in the south and wanted to come over to take a look. Who knew that there was no flood but I saw you.”
Xu Jinghua lowered her eyebrows and said in a sad voice,""Young lady, leave quickly, we can't stay in Xia City any longer.”
"Why?" Chu Wu You was full of doubts.
"To be honest, I am the only daughter of Xia City's City Lord Xu Shou, Xu Jinghua. As the City Lord of Xia City, my father embezzled the bridge repair money and used inferior quality to cause the river to collapse and flood.”Xu Jinghua said softly.
"I know about this."
Chu Wu You said calmly. Unexpectedly, her calmness shocked Xu Jinghua. How could this woman be so calm? She was not an ordinary person.
"Later, the Left Prime Minister was ordered by the Emperor to come to control the flood. Soon, the flood was resolved. The Left Prime Minister became a great hero here. Everyone sang praises of him and even set up a monument to pass down his achievements. My father felt that it was inappropriate and said that doing so was disrespectful to the former Emperor. He rejected the proposal and thus angered the Left Prime Minister. When the Left Prime Minister found out that my father had embezzled the silver, he threatened my father to sell his life for him. My father secretly left a trick up his sleeve and sent people to the Left Prime Minister's mansion to investigate. I found out that the Left Prime Minister was secretly experimenting on living people and feeding them a kind of medicine to make those people listen to the Left Prime Minister. Unexpectedly, the matter was exposed. The Left Prime Minister said that I was a jinx and that I was the one who brought the flood. The people respected the Left Prime Minister and captured me and hung me on the city gate tower. I don't know what happened after that.”After Xu Jinghua recovered from her surprise, she continued to speak. When she finished speaking, tears seemed to flash past her eyes.
"Why did your father keep the silver for himself? Isn't this even more disrespectful to the late emperor?”After Chu Wu You heard these words, it was indeed as she had expected. Xia City was now the Left Prime Minister's world, and Xu Shou was just a useless puppet.
"I don't know about this, but Father has always loved his people like his own children. He has clean hands and won't do such a foolish thing.”Xu Jinghua argued emotionally.
"No matter how incorruptible a person is, it's impossible for him to be incorruptible all his life. In the face of temptation, there will always be a time when he's tempted. After being in the officialdom for so many years, it's impossible for him to get nothing when he's old.”In order to get more valuable clues, Chu Wu You said expressionlessly.
"It's not like that, miss don't misunderstand, our Xu family has protected Xia City for generations for the late emperor, our loyalty can be seen by heaven and earth.”Xu Jinghua wanted to stand up, but because she was too weak, she fell to the ground.
"My father must have been involved in some dispute or conspiracy. He's not a crafty villain.”Xu Jinghua's eyes were wide open as she stared at Chu Wu You without blinking. The woman in front of her had a beautiful face, but why was the aura she exuded so cold and decisive, making people submit to her!
Hearing this, Chu Wu You understood almost everything. It seemed that there must be some misunderstanding. She had to inform the High Priest as soon as possible to escape. As for the matter of the Left Minister, she had to think about it carefully.
After Xu Jinghua finished speaking, she didn't say anything else and looked at Chu Wu You stubbornly.
"I'll trust you for now. Here's a pen and paper. Write a letter to your father and let him know that you're safe.”Chu Wu You saw that she was so stubborn and could only use this to resolve the tense atmosphere.
"Miss, who are you?" Xu Jinghua picked up a pen and paper and asked.
"What does it have to do with you who I am?”Chu Wu You replied coldly. He didn't expect this woman to have guts. With more nurturing, she wouldn't lose to a man.
"Of course it has nothing to do with me. I just heard that the new Emperor of the Northern Underworld is a woman. Now that I've met you, I can tell from your tone and temperament that you're definitely not the daughter of an ordinary family. If Jinghua is wrong, I hope you can forgive me.”
The corner of Chu Wu's mouth curled into an arc and he said with a faint smile,""I can see that you have a strong scholarly aura, so you must be someone who has read a lot of books. My Northern Underworld is a great country, and there are countless talented people and hermits.”
Xu Jinghua nodded," Miss, you are too serious. It's just that Father has taught me to study hard since I was young so that I can govern Xia City in the future. Because Father only has one daughter, I am the only one. The late Emperor asked our Xu family to guard Xia City. We can't let it end here."”
Chu Wu You nodded and sighed. Wasn't this woman's fate the same as hers?
"You want to govern Xia City? Wouldn't it be better to be free? The path of officialdom was not easy!”Chu Wuyou sighed.
