I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 166: Removing the needle for Yiyi.

"Got it." Jiang Xue put the box on the table and said calmly.

After a while, Jiang Xue opened the door and Wen Chuan was standing in the yard. The maid saw Jiang Xue coming out, bowed slightly and left.

Jiang Xue walked to the courtyard, looked at Wen Chuan and asked, "What's the matter, Lord Wen?"

Wen Chuan looked calm, and bowed slightly to Jiang Xue, saying, "My Lord asked me to tell you that the symptoms of those people have been investigated. They were infected with the flower poison."

"Flower Gu?" Jiang Xue frowned in confusion after hearing this.

Wenchuan explained: "The flower worm is a kind of worm in the Southern Region. The people of the Southern Region like to raise worms, so they are called monsters by the world. Soon the Southern Region was destroyed and all the people of the Southern Region were also destroyed."

"Then the people of the Southern Region were annihilated, and how did the Flower Gu get to the capital?"

"My Lord is also investigating this matter. He specifically asked me to tell you that flower poison likes to stay in brightly colored places, such as silk and satin, fresh fruits and vegetables, and is shaped like petals. Before it touches human skin, it is pink. After it touches the skin, it will penetrate into the human body and turn red."

Jiang Xue was incredulous after hearing this. If that was the case, flower poisons would be everywhere in the capital.

People come into contact with different things every day, so it is not difficult to guarantee that they will not be contaminated by flower poison. Who is so vicious as to harm so many people?

Wenchuan continued, "Ms. Jiang, you should be careful these days. It's best not to touch anything that looks bright."

"I understand." Jiang Xue nodded.

When Wen Chuan was about to leave, Jiang Xue suddenly called out to him, "Master Wen?"

Wenchuan turned to look at Jiang Xue and asked, "Miss Jiang, is there anything else?"

"Can you find a way to deal with the flower poison?"

Wenchuan shook his head and said, "No, at present, the only way to solve the flower poison is to find the root cause."

Jiang Xue nodded. After Wen Chuan left, Jiang Xue sat in the yard and began to think. If those people were poisoned, it would be easy to solve the problem. But now they were poisoned, and she couldn't cure it. Now she could only rely on Pei Zhijin.

After Wenchuan left, Jiang Xue went back into the house, still thinking about the flower Gu that Wenchuan had just mentioned. When Mu Feng came in from outside, Jiang Xue didn't hear any sound at all.

Mu Feng looked at Jiang Xue sitting on the bed in a daze, and then he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jiang Xue, "Miss?"

Jiang Xue came back to her senses and looked at Mu Feng standing in front of her. She suppressed her emotions and picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off Yi Yi's forehead. "What are you doing here?"

"Miss, have you forgotten that you asked me to find Qing Ye?"

Jiang Xue paused, looked at Mu Feng seriously and asked, "Did you find it?"

"Well, he is still in the capital."

"Where?" Jiang Xue asked coldly.

Mu Feng frowned and said, "It seems that he has already betrayed Fengyun Tower and chosen another master."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xue asked.

Mu Feng brought a stool and sat next to Jiang Xue and began to talk in detail, "When I went back home last night, I saw a figure running on the street. I followed him out of curiosity and saw Qing Ye."

“He was very respectful to the person standing in front of him.”

"Did you hear what they said?"

Mu Feng shook his head and said, "It was too far away, I couldn't hear it clearly."

Without waiting for Jiang Xue to ask what the man looked like, Mu Feng continued, "The man was wrapped very tightly, so I couldn't see clearly."

Jiang Xue: "...Then go and check it out and tell me." Jiang Xue said speechlessly.

Mu Feng straightened his expression, and suddenly approached Jiang Xue with a serious face and said, "Although I didn't see the person he met clearly, I can recognize the pattern on his clothes. It is the national flower of the Southern Territory, the wisteria."

Jiang Xue frowned, "Could it be that Qing Ye is from the Southern Region?"

Mu Feng agreed: "It's possible."

"Then why did he want to kill my father?"

"This..." Mu Feng frowned and said puzzledly: "I don't know either."

Jiang Xue's brain was working quickly, and she thought carefully. She felt that things were not that simple. If Qing Ye was from the Southern Region, then what was his purpose in lurking in the Chili Kingdom? As far as she knew, the Chili Kingdom had no involvement in the destruction of the Southern Region, so he had no reason to avenge the Southern Region.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xue's eyes suddenly darkened. She was afraid that it might be the enemy country's doing. Since she established Wanhetang, she had a pretty good understanding of the Chili Country.

In this world, there are many small countries, but the most powerful ones are Chili Kingdom and Mobei Kingdom.

Jiang Xue knew very little about the Mobei Kingdom. She only knew that there was a brave and warlike general there. A few years ago, he was forced to retreat repeatedly by King Li Lingxuan during a war with the Chili Kingdom. He finally escaped death after losing his left eye.

Since then, the two countries signed a truce agreement, but the monarch of Mobei Kingdom could never swallow this humiliation and always wanted to turn the tables.

Jiang Xue's eyes moved slightly, and she looked at Mu Feng and said, "Keep a close eye on Qing Ye, and don't alert the enemy yet."

"it is good."

Mu Feng nodded and then looked at Lin Yiyi who was lying on the bed, and sighed: "How is Miss Yiyi?"

"There is already a fire lotus. I will remove the needle for her tonight."

"Can her body handle it?"

"Well, it's been doing well these days." Jiang Xue said softly.

Mu Feng looked out the window and said hesitantly, "Then he...are you still going to hide it?"

Jiang Xue shook her head, "No, he is injured and is now recovering in the Jiang Mansion."

"Injured?" Mu Feng asked in surprise, "Is it serious?"

"It's not a serious injury, but it's not a minor injury either."

"Then I'll go see him." Mu Feng said as he was about to turn around and leave.

Jiang Xue stopped Mu Feng and said, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Mu Feng turned and looked at Jiang Xue and asked.

"Go and bring him some food."

"Okay." Mu Feng nodded, turned around, opened the door and left.

Gu Yu looked at Jiang Xue with a gloomy face and said, "I thought you were blaming Wang Ziyan, but I didn't expect you were trying to help him?"

Jiang Xue looked at Gu Yu who was leaning against the pillar next to the bead curtain and said, "This is a matter between him and Yi Yi. I won't interfere in their affairs, but while Yi Yi is injured, I don't want Wang Ziyan to do anything impulsive."

Gu Yu tapped his folding fan in his hand, walked up to Jiang Xue and said, "Although Prince Yan looks innocent, he is actually very cunning. His Shadow Hall is the top assassin organization in Chili Country. Moreover, he is a marquis. He will definitely inherit the title and live in a high position in the government. If Yiyi follows him, she will be trapped in the backyard and engage in intrigues with the sisters-in-law all day long."

Gu Yu paused here, his eyes filled with extreme seriousness, and Jiang Xue was a little stunned for a moment.

"I think Yiyi is different from those women in the harem. She loves freedom. Isn't this the reason why she ran away from marriage?"

Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes slightly, watching Gu Yu say so much, and asked directly: "So...you said so much just to say that you are more suitable for Yiyi than Wang Ziyan?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Gu Yu said without hesitation.

Jiang Xue burst out laughing. "It's rare to see you so serious, but Yiyi has to make her own decisions. Whoever she likes is her freedom and her choice. I just need to be her backup from behind."

"Then can't you persuade her?" Gu Yu said somewhat aggrievedly.

"Matters of love cannot be changed by human intervention. You only saw that Wang Ziyan was cunning, but you didn't see that he was willing to risk his life for Yiyi."

"Can....."

"Okay, if you like Yiyi, then let her see your love for her." Jiang Xue interrupted.

Gu Yu opened his slightly open mouth and closed it again.

Jiang Xue immediately ordered him to leave, "You can leave first, but remember to come over in the evening."

Gu Yu glanced at Lin Yiyi lying on the bed, and left quietly without saying anything.

Hearing the door closing, Jiang Xue sat down next to Lin Yiyi's bed again and said softly, "Yiyi, it seems that Gu Yu really likes you, but...you have to make your own choice. But no matter what choice you make, I will support you unconditionally."

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from outside the window, blowing the pink flowers from the yard in and landing on the table by the window. Jiang Xue walked over and placed the petals that had fallen in beside Lin Yiyi's bed, then tucked in the quilt and walked out.

------

As night fell and it just got dark, Gu Yu put aside the matters assigned by Pei Zhijin and rushed to Jiang's residence.

Inside the house, the windows and doors were closed, there were several pots of charcoal fire, and a cold-preventing rhinoceros was placed on the table beside. Jiang Xue opened the needle bag and placed it beside the bed, then said to Gu Yu: "Okay, help her up."

"Yeah." Gu Yu nodded and then gently helped Lin Yiyi up.

When his warm palm touched Lin Yiyi's cool back, Gu Yu frowned and his heart trembled involuntarily.
