The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Huo Wuyou and his men captured all the criminals who kidnapped Xue Zhiyi and interrogated them. Although they were all determined to be killed, they had ways to prevent them from committing suicide. Only in this way could they continue to pry open their mouths.

In order to avoid attracting criticism for their untidy clothes, Huo Wuyou had someone buy two sets of ready-made clothes before returning to the Tang Mansion. After they changed, they took the prepared carriage back.

In the carriage, Huo Wuyou looked unhappy as he looked at the wounds on her neck and body.

Xue Zhiyi tried to comfort him, "I'm fine. It's you, did Xue Tingliu's arrow hurt you?"

He supported his aching left shoulder and said, "It's just a little scratched. It's nothing serious."

But Xue Zhiyi gradually felt uneasy. Logically speaking, Huo Wuyou did not bleed heavily, so why did he look so bad?

She stretched out her hand, trying to take a look at Huo Wuyou's injury, but as soon as her hand touched his shoulder, he couldn't help but shrink slightly and took a breath.

Xue Zhiyi only felt that the hand that touched her shoulder was somewhat wet and warm. She looked at her palm. It was dim in the car, and Xue Zhiyi's palm was sticky and had a strong smell of blood.

"Didn't you bandage it when you changed your clothes?"

Huo Wuyou just yawned and said, "It's bandaged, maybe some of it has seeped out again."

After saying that, he rubbed his brow sleepily and said, "It's really okay. It's just a superficial wound. How much can such a small crossbow arrow hurt a person? I'm a little sleepy. Let's talk later."

"Don't sleep yet." She pulled Huo Wuyou, who was leaning against the soft pillow. As she pulled, she touched the wound again. This time, Huo Wuyou cried out in pain.

Realizing that something was wrong, Xue Zhiyi looked at the blood on her palm under the only light. Instantly, she felt a chill all over her body, and her heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the valley...

"Huo Wuyou...why is your blood black?"

Thinking of what Xue Tingliu said at that time, Xue Zhiyi became more and more panicked. At that time, Xue Tingliu seemed to be certain that Huo Wuyou would die. At that time, she thought that it was just a curse from Xue Tingliu before his death...

Huo Wuyou was also stunned for a moment when he heard this. He touched his shoulder, looked at the black blood on his palm, and smiled uneasily: "It's okay, I'm still alive and kicking now, right?"

At this moment, outside the carriage, Yan Gui said, "My Lord, we're here."

Huo Wuyou smiled and said, "Just let Sui Yunlang take a look later, don't think too much about it."

As he spoke, he patted his arms and said, "I was the one who carried you down the mountain just now, and I can still carry you into the house now."

Having said that, he was eager to get off the car.

Xue Zhiyi just frowned and looked at him, but when Huo Wuyou got off the car, he fell down uncontrollably.

"Huo Wuyou!"

At this moment, Xue Zhiyi was frightened, and there was panic in her voice that she herself was not aware of.

She got out of the car in a hurry, and together with Yang Gui, she helped Huo Wuyou to stand up, but she saw that under the moonlight, his face was as pale as paper.

"What's wrong with the Marquis?" Yan Gui exclaimed.

But Huo Wuyou slowly opened his heavy eyelids, as if he didn't want Xue Zhiyi to worry, and just said stubbornly: "I'm just a little... a little sleepy, it's okay..."

Before he could finish his words, his head drooped and he fainted.

"Huo Wuyou... Huo Wuyou!"

The fear that filled Xue Zhiyi's heart at that moment even exceeded the moment when her life was hanging by a thread.

……

Huo Wuyou was carried into the house. The Tang family knew that he was injured and called a doctor, but Sui Yunlang knew his physique best, so he was mainly responsible for making the diagnosis.

Just like Xue Zhiyi guessed, Sui Yunlang also asserted that Huo Wuyou was poisoned, but he didn't know what the poison was.

Fortunately, Xue Zhiyi still had some sense. She told Yan Gui: "Go to the temple and find a bloody crossbow arrow. The sooner the better!"

Since it was a matter of life and death, Yan Gui did not dare to delay and went without stopping.

Sui Yunlang first used acupuncture to seal the meridians to prevent the poison from further penetrating into the internal organs, and the hastily bandaged wound was also cleaned again.

Xue Zhiyi then saw the wound with his own eyes. Huo Wuyou's upper body was exposed, and his shoulder was clearly only slightly scratched by a crossbow arrow, but it was now oozing with black pus and blood, and was surrounded by dark blue.

"Miss Xue." Sui Yunlang saw that she was worried and said, "There are thousands of poisons in the world, but most of them have antidotes. Even if it is an unknown poison, I can try to expel the poison with common methods. Don't worry for now."

Xue Zhiyi stared at the person lying there in a daze. His face was pale, his brows were knitted, and he seemed to be in great pain.

She suddenly regretted her recklessness today. Since she realized that there was something wrong with Chai Yue, she should have done her best to stop her from taking Shen Qingtang out.

But she insisted on verifying the matter, which put herself and Huo Wuyou in danger.

She sat down on the edge of the bed. Now she just hoped that everything would be as Sui Yunlang said, and Huo Wuyou was only poisoned by an ordinary poison.

After about an hour, Yan Gui finally came back, but after Sui Yunlang checked the arrow, he almost couldn't stand.

His face was solemn: "...Miss Xue, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

After retreating from the others, Sui Yunlang finally spoke. He handed the arrow to Xue Zhiyi and said, "The arrowhead has been poisoned. You and I have both seen that poison."

Xue Zhiyi's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his voice couldn't stop trembling: "You mean... the poison that Huo Wuyou was infected with is the same as the poison that the Queen Mother and Xue Ruoyu were infected with?"

"No...it's just a slow poison." She quickly denied it, and then asked Sui Yunlang as if she was lucky: "As long as you don't touch this kind of poison again, your body will gradually recover, so Huo Wuyou is fine, right?"

But Sui Yunlang's voice was trembling: "After Wuyou seized the poison from the spy, he gave it to me to deal with. I have tried it. If this poison is used in very small amounts and dissolved in daily consumption, it is indeed the best slow-acting poison. But if it is used in a strong dose, or taken or entered the body through a wound, it will be a highly toxic poison."

Xue Zhiyi felt as if his heart was being twisted by something, and it hurt so much that he couldn't breathe...

She held her chest, turned around, pushed the door open, and called out anxiously: "Go geese? Go geese!"

No... Huo Wuyou can't die, and she can't just give up on him like that.

Yan Gui hurried over and waited for Xue Zhiyi's instructions.

"Yan Gui, interrogate all the people brought back from the mountain, as well as the detained Chai family members. Make them explain clearly what kind of poison was used on the Marquis and what is the antidote? If they don't want to tell the truth, torture them, even if you have to peel off their skin and bones to force them to tell the truth!"

It was a pity that they acted on impulse and did not spare Xue Tingliu's life for interrogation. Now, it was unknown whether the remaining few people could get any results.

Especially the Chai family. At present, they can only interrogate Chai Yue in the name of kidnapping case, and since Chai Xun is an official appointed by the court, they have no right to ask him anything.

At worst...at worst she could just go for it and tie him up in the same way!

At this moment, Jiang Xu hurried over.

When he looked into Xue Zhiyi's eyes, he hesitated for a moment before addressing her, and then he called her as before, "Miss Xue."

"Master Jiang."

During the day today, Jiang Xu tried his best to save her, which made her temporarily put aside her suspicion of Jiang Xu.

I only heard him say: "I heard about the Lin'an Marquis. He told me today that he had obtained evidence to prove that Chai Xun was the mastermind behind the robbery of the disaster relief grain. He has already had all the witnesses and evidence detained."

"So, Lord Jiang can arrest him now in this name, right?" Xue Zhiyi asked anxiously.

Jiang Xu nodded seriously: "Immediately. Whether it's robbing disaster relief grain or kidnapping good families, these two cases must be made to be completely clear, including the details of the poison."

Xue Zhiyi's eyes moved slightly, and she bowed to him, but a hand held her arm: "You... don't have to do this, whether it's this matter or anything else that comes next, just speak up if you need anything."

After he said that, he withdrew his hand: "This matter is urgent, there is no need to delay, I will go first."

Watching Jiang Xu turn and leave, Xue Zhiyi was moved, but also had a guess.

As both of them are from Cishui, Jiangzhou, could Jiang Xu... be related to her life experience?
