A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 887 The antidote is effective
In order to meet Li Ming, Yuan Wuyou had to return to Xi'e City.

Just then, a group of people in black and iron armor were about to leave the city. Yuan Wuyou wanted to take a detour to avoid them, but they came towards her.

The aim was accurate and he caught her directly.

The leader of the Zhou army had a white bandage on his arm, short hair and a baby face. It was Yi Fuya that was recognized upon seeing him face to face.

When the boy saw her, he spoke first.

"I was just about to look for you. Li Mingjian is in our hands. Dazai's people said that they will only let him go if you come in person to exchange him."

"I'm here now, aren't I? Please lead the way."

"Hey! You really are..." Yi Fuya couldn't help but mutter, "You really are an official. You always act high and mighty."

"What else? Do you want me to ask my good brother to accompany me to rescue my dear brother as soon as possible?"

The girl in black shirt sitting on the black horse opposite had her back straight, her eyebrows raised, and her face full of calm arrogance.

Hearing this, Yi Fuya narrowed his eyes, secretly touched the arm with the white bandage with his other hand, and said with a smile,
"Yes, just call me like that. It's okay to help you save your biological brother, just don't go to save your lover."

"..."

Yuan Wuyou wanted to curse, but was afraid of cursing him too much, so he had to stop talking. But his eyes fell on his injured arm, and he couldn't help but ask:
"How did you hurt your arm?"

"Yesterday, I had a fight with a Western medicine dealer who was selling fake medicine. My arm was chopped by a woman named Yanda. I got excited and cut the woman into pieces with my bare hands."

After listening to him, Yuan Wuyou hated himself for talking too much.

As soon as they entered the city, Yi Fuya led her to the county government office. They said that they were afraid that Master Li would run away, so they did not dare to move and kept him locked in the room.

Moreover, as soon as Yuan Wuyou and Wan Yuwuyu left and the special envoy died, Li Mingjian was discovered and locked up.

But no one dared to torture him.

When Yuan Wuyou came, Li Ming saw that she didn't want to leave. It was only after she asked him to go back to Xinye to take charge of the situation that he left.

Later, Yuan Wuyou learned that Chi Luoxie was suddenly infected with the plague and poisoned. It was said that he had the "Desert Light" symptoms. It was suspected that he was poisoned by the Dangxiang Khan and he must be carrying the plague.

Yuan Wuyou didn't believe it and said that he had also come into contact with Dangxiang Khan, so how come he didn't get infected?
Until she heard that everyone who had come into contact with Wan Yu Wu Yu in the past two days had been infected with the plague! Including Yu Wen Xiao Bo and the men sent by the Prime Minister, only she and Wan Yu Wu Yu were fine.

Yuan Wuyou, who refused to believe in evil, risked being sick and went to visit Yuwen Xiaobo, who was so sick that he could not get out of bed.

At that time, Yuwen Xiaobo's face was red, his eyes were black, and his head was covered with a white cloth. When he saw her walking to the bed, he struggled to sit up. His swollen neck and Adam's apple were exposed under his loose cross-collared shirt.

He coughed and asked her, "Did my second brother feed you the antidote in advance?"

"……No."

Yuan Wuyou was frightened by his serious illness. She said it subconsciously before she remembered... After Wan Yuwuyu suddenly kissed her, he gave her a pill, which turned out to be the antidote for "Sand Light Disease".

But she didn't eat it and put it in the brocade bag around her waist.

But Yuan Wuyou clearly didn't take the antidote, so how come she didn't get sick? And the hard part was that she didn't eat anything today, not even drinking water.

Could it be that the antibodies she developed during the three years of amnesia were still effective? Or did Wan Yuwuyu also have antibodies?

When Yuan Wuyou was thinking about a lot of things, a large number of imperial guards suddenly rushed over. The leader was a long-bearded general with a dark and serious face. He wanted to kidnap Yuan Wuyou and use her as a hostage to exchange for the antidote from the Tangut Khan Tuoba Ningcong.

The people of Zhou State were unanimous in their belief that the plague was brought by Dangxiang Khan from the Western Regions.

The Xianbei emperor, who had rushed over after hearing the news, happened to see this scene. He dragged his weak body wrapped in a white shirt, his hands covering his chest, coughing with every step, and staggered a few steps in front of Yuan Wuyou to stop him.

He turned around and asked her to step back so as not to be infected by him.

Yuan Wuyou panicked instantly, and there was nothing else in his eyes except staring straight at the man in white in front of him. His cheeks were rosy from illness, and he was wearing a thin jade mask that only covered the upper half of his face.

"You're sick too?"

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Yuwen Huaibi suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

But the black-faced general refused to accept the suggestion. "Your Majesty, please do not interfere any more. The Prime Minister has issued an order: If Nanyang County Duke Chi Luoxie dies here, the Emperor's power to mobilize the six generals will be revoked."

Yuwen Huaibi was determined to protect Yuan Wuyou, and the pair of dark eyes under his jade face said firmly: "I am not afraid."

Yuan Wuyou shook his head, "What are you doing? Do you want me to owe you my whole life?"

The Xianbei man wearing the jade mask turned around and gave her a sad smile.

"At worst, I will never leave the palace again. Since you like being outside so much, I can't turn you into a caged bird."

The two of them were so close that the dark-faced general frowned, "Your Majesty is acting like a tyrant. Don't follow the old path of the late emperor."

After hearing this, Yuan Wuyou became more determined and walked out from behind Yuwen Huaibi who was blocking her. Then she turned her head to look at him and said, "I don't want to owe you a favor."

After that, she looked at the general sharply, "I do have an antidote, but I don't know if it will work. Take me there. I want to see Chi Luoxie take the medicine with my own eyes."

The Sixth Rate was to protect Yuwen Huaibi's safety, and he couldn't live without it. In order to save Yuwen Huaibi's Sixth Rate, Yuan Wuyou had no choice but to hand over the pill that Wan Yuwuyu had left for her to save her life. After watching Chi Luoxie take it with her own eyes, she sat outside the house and waited for a while.

Within an incense stick of time, Chi Luoxie, who was so sick that he could not speak, had indeed stopped coughing and his symptoms had improved.

Since the antidote was effective, Yuan Wuyou no longer had any attachment and planned to retire. However, as soon as she raised her leg to take a step forward, her vision went dark and she fell to the ground.

When Yuan Wuyou woke up again, she found herself in a carriage, and in front of her sat Yuwen Huaibi, wearing a jade mask.

She remembered in panic and found that her whole body was sore and weak. She panicked instantly, "You drugged me?"

Yuwen Huaibi said sincerely: "You have contracted the plague and are ill."

"How could it be so fast?"

Yuan Wuyou struggled to sit up, lifted the car curtain and looked out. It was dark outside, but he felt powerless just to sit up. His throat was itchy, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest when he coughed.

It turns out that as long as she keeps the antidote on her body, it will have the effect of warding off poison, but once it leaves the body and is given to Chi Luoxie, she herself will also be invaded by the disease.

Later, through Yuwen Huaibi, Yuan Wuyou learned that the city of Nanyang County had just been captured by the troops of Dangxiang Khan Tuoba Ningcong, and Wancheng had also fallen.

However, because the Duke of Nanyang and the emperor and others were infected with the disease, the dignitaries in Xi'e City and Nanyang were fleeing northward, leaving the people of Nanyang behind.

It was not until then that Yuan Wuyou knew what Wan Yuwu had sent the other five tribes of Dangxiang to do. But even though the facts were before her eyes, she did not dare to believe it.
