The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"You have one stick of incense left and you cannot leave my sight."

This was Sikong Boyu's bottom line. He agreed to let them meet only because Mu Aiguo and Mu Yitian had the symbiotic Gu that he personally raised in their bodies. This was an excellent healing Gu that could heal dying people, but after that the Gu would coexist with the host, absorbing nutrients and could no longer leave the host. And for some reason, Mu Yibai had cracked his meridian-eating Gu, which was really strange, so he had to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from cheating.

"no problem!"

Seeing that Huo San was still trying to argue, Fu Yunxi stopped him and agreed directly. Now that Sikong Boyu had directly stated that Mu Aiguo and the other man had poisonous insects in their bodies, it would be easier to act. She didn't need to take their pulses for the time being and would act according to circumstances later.

"Let go."

Sikong Boyu signaled to the guards to let go of Mu Aiguo and his son.

The two of them couldn't wait to run towards Mu Yibai, and at the same time, Mu Yibai also walked quickly towards them.

"Father, brother, you have suffered. I am late."

Mu Yibai hurriedly stepped forward to support Mu Aiguo and gently put his arm around his shoulders, not daring to use too much force for fear of accidentally hurting him.

Once upon a time, his father was tall and mighty, like a god in his eyes, but now he is so miserable.

And my eldest brother, if he had not been injured on the battlefield, he would still be the handsome young man who wrote poems and painted.

"Yibai, your legs?"

What surprised Mu Aiguo and the other man the most was undoubtedly Wei Yunnuo's legs. They had sought help from many famous doctors, but to no avail, and everyone had given up hope.

"Xier took good care of her."

Mu Yibai did not mention Doctor Fu Yunxi's identity. Sikong Boyu was not far away, and the time was not right.

"The daughter-in-law has met her father and her eldest brother."

Chen Jianzhong supported Mu Yitian, and Fu Yunxi bowed and greeted him at the right time.

"You are Yibai's daughter-in-law!"

A hint of shock flashed across Mu Aiguo's eyes, and he stared at Fu Yunxi in astonishment.

"Father, this is Fu Yunxi, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and now she is my wife.

She never left the Mu family after they encountered disaster, and took good care of my grandmother and mother. I will tell you more about this later."

Mu Yibai used brief words to introduce Fu Yunxi's contribution to this family.

At the same time, she helped Mu Aiguo and the other person to sit down somewhere far away from Sikong Boyu. However, Fu Yunxi felt that Mu Aiguo's reaction was a little strange.

"Second brother, you are the ones who are suffering. Is everything okay at home?"

Mu Aiguo didn't dare to ask. Mu Yitian asked the question with a trembling voice, his heart full of fear.

"Brother, father, don't worry, everything is fine at home! Grandmother, mother and Aunt Jiang are all in good health, sister-in-law gave birth to twins safely, Yiheng's wife also gave birth to a girl, and now everyone is waiting for us in Shunfeng County! The current situation of this family is inseparable from Xier's contribution. You will know it in the future. Tell us about your physical condition first! You have suffered this year."

Mu Yibai seized the opportunity and described the situation at home in an orderly and rapid manner, not taking the high-ranking lord of the territory seriously at all.

"Great! Yibai's life event is finally settled. I didn't prepare a gift for you when we first met, but I will make it up to you in the future! You don't need to worry about me and your elder brother. When we were framed by the emperor and committed suicide, it was the people of Southern Xinjiang who saved us. At that time, we had already slashed our own throats, and even gods could not save us. The Lord of Xinjiang used two symbiotic Gu to heal us, but the price is that the Gu will remain in our bodies and coexist with us. Of course, he can also sense the existence of the Gu. We usually do odd jobs, and we can't eat and drink for free!"

Mu Aiguo was extremely cautious in his words considering that Sikong Boyu was present.

Mu Yitian, who was standing by, burst into tears when he learned that his wife had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, during exile.

"It is my fault that I was unfilial and failed to rescue you earlier."

Mu Yibai understood that his father's seemingly light words were actually filled with endless bitterness.

It was his fault, he hadn't even found them in his previous life, let alone saved them from trouble.

"Husband, give father and elder brother some water! They must be thirsty after talking so much." Fu Yunxi took out two water bags from her sleeves and handed them to Mu Yibai. This was the spiritual spring water from the space, which would be of some help to them.

"Okay, father, brother, drink some water first. We have already negotiated with Sikong Boyu and will be able to take you home in five days. You must take care of your health." Mu Yibai understood Fu Yunxi's meaning and handed the spiritual spring water to his father and the two.

They refused at first, but Mu Yibai insisted that they drink it. Although they were a little confused, they still drank it obediently. After all, their son would not harm them.

"What did you exchange for?" Mu Yitian didn't believe that Sikong Boyu would let them go easily. Wasn't the reason he rescued the two of them just to hold them hostage in the future to get what he wanted?

"Brother Mu, you don't have to worry. We exchanged food with Sikong Boyu, and we will be reunited soon."

Chen Jianzhong did not mention that it was 100,000 kilograms of grain, for fear that Mu Yitian and the others would refuse. Given General Mu's patriotism and love for the people, he certainly would not want to exchange so much grain for his own survival. However, he forgot that the Mu family had been abandoned by the emperor, so they would no longer serve the emperor.

"That must not be a small amount!" After drinking the spiritual spring water, Mu Aiguo felt his body relaxed a lot and he had the strength to speak. He was no longer weak. He knew that this must not be ordinary water, otherwise Yi Bai and his daughter-in-law would not have brought it for them to drink.

"Don't worry, father. These material possessions are insignificant within our capabilities. What's important is your health." Mu Yibai really took a lot of effort to control his emotions. Looking at his father and elder brother suffering so much, his heart ached.

"General Mu, it's almost time. Let's talk about the rest later!" Sikong Boyu asked the guards to take them back as soon as the time was up, regardless of whether they had finished talking or not.

Before they could recover from the surprise of meeting each other, they had to face separation again. Huo San hadn't even spoken to Mu Aiguo yet, but his eyes were always moist, and it was not difficult to see that he was also suppressing his emotions.

"After our transaction is over, could Lord Jiang take out the poisonous insect from my father's body?" Mu Yibai watched the guards take Mu Aiguo and the other two away, and continued to negotiate with Sikong Boyu.

"This insect is specially used to treat patients whose lives are hanging by a thread. Once used, it cannot be separated from the host. These two insects have cost me many years of hard work. General Mu should not be an ungrateful person!" What Sikong Boyu said was true. The symbiotic insect exists for people who are about to die.

Since they are dying, they don't care whether there are poisonous worms in their bodies. After all, this is their only way to survive. Even their owner Sikong Boyu who raises them cannot remove them. However, he has a sense of the poisonous worms. Simply put, he can control the actions of Mu Aiguo and the other two through the poisonous worms and is not afraid of them escaping.

"I would like to thank the Lord of the Frontier for saving my father and brother. We will gather enough food in five days. By then, I hope the Lord of the Frontier will keep his word and keep them safe."

Mu Yibai finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart. At least his father and brother were still alive, so everything was possible, including the poisonous insects in their bodies. There must be a solution!
