Gu Manxiu also breathed a sigh of relief, the imperial physician seemed to be alluding to Concubine Chu Gui, and even told herself to dress properly, no matter who saw this, they should say hello.

The one who is obviously more flustered now is Concubine Chu.

He hurriedly asked someone to bring the clothes to cover Gu Manxiu.

"Since Mrs. Jiang is really sick, let's send her back directly."

"younger sister…"

Obviously now Chu Fengyu wanted to continue to make things difficult for Gu Manxiu, but Concubine Chu Gui knew that if they continued to make things difficult, they would be the ones to suffer.

At this time, it is still necessary to figure out what is more important.

But it was at this time that the emperor came.

Seeing Gu Manxiu with a weak face, his face turned dark immediately.

"Chu Guifei, should you give me an explanation now?"

It can be said that he had been exhorting and exhorting Concubine Chu to restrain herself, but it turned out to be better now, and carried the sick Gu Manxiu to the palace, no one could bear such anger.

For a while, the emperor didn't know what to do. If Jiang Yichen knew about this, he would definitely not express his loyalty anymore.

"Your Majesty's concubine is only worried about Mrs. Jiang's condition getting worse. That's why she called the imperial doctor. The concubine really only cares for Mrs. Jiang's well-being."

It is impossible for the emperor to believe such a simple lie. Now that Gu Manxiu is about to pass out, he feels that the imperial concubine did something wrong.

"It's not an example."

On the other hand, he gave Gu Manxiu a lot of rewards, obviously wanting to comfort Gu Manxiu, telling her not to hurt the friendship with him because of this incident.

"Actually, Your Majesty already knew that the lady was targeting me."

"Blame my negligence, but you can ask for any compensation for this matter, as long as it is not too much, I can promise you."

"Then it's better for His Majesty to keep this promise for the time being. I don't want anything now."

If it's about money, Gu Manxiu can earn it by himself, and now naturally he doesn't need the emperor's reward, but when it comes to other things, Gu Manxiu doesn't dare to ask too much.

It's better to wait for Concubine Chu Guifei's birth, and properly mention some things that can threaten the Chu family.

While talking, Gu Manxiu was still coughing, the emperor remembered that Gu Manxiu was still sick, and quickly asked someone to carry Gu Manxiu back.

On the way back, Gu Manxiu also ran into Chu Fengyu, who gave him a vicious stare.

In fact, Gu Manxiu felt that she was really wronged. She didn't know what was going on with the siblings. Could it be that she really wanted to kill herself with this behavior?
"Gu Manxiu, don't think that your luck will always be so good. I will never let you live comfortably."

"Really? Then I'll wait for you to deal with me."

In short, the relationship between the two of them has been torn apart now, and Gu Manxiu doesn't care about some things anymore. Since they really want to be the best for each other, Gu Manxiu is absolutely tolerant of herself now.

"You shouldn't be sick now, Gu Manxiu. Although I don't know what method you used, but you made my sister feel unhappy, so let's not finish this matter."

It's still here as if I want to go.

If Concubine Chu didn't insist on entering the palace by herself, would she be reprimanded?
Both siblings are obviously not good things.

"Gu Manxiu, let's wait and see."

After going back, Gu Manxiu didn't have to continue pretending, she was a little worried about Jiang Yichen's situation now, whether she could come back before the end of the month.

As for Chu Fengyu, Gu Manxiu didn't care about it at all. Since everyone has already started fighting, what's the difference between fighting once and fighting all the time?

So now Gu Manxiu is still very open about this matter.

At the same time, Jiang Yichen looked at the familiar environment around him, and then at the general Wu beside him, feeling a headache.

This time, he did not bring Yanxiu with him.

"General Wu, are you awake?"

"Um."

It may be because it has been too long since such a thing happened, Wu Hai just felt very ashamed, and he should have noticed something was wrong when he first entered the village.

But looking at those thin people, he felt that there should be no problem, so he let down his vigilance.

Jiang Yichen couldn't help suspecting that these villagers must have been forced to do such things by bandits.

But before Jiang Yichen could think any more, the cellar door was opened.

It was a thin and small child who came to bring them food.

"Little friend, I want to ask you, are you all forced to do such a thing?"

The kid gave him a strange look, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"I mean, are there bad people forcing you to do things?"

"No, it's just that the village chief grandpa said, only in this way can we have food."

He looked at Jiang Yichen innocently, but what he said made Jiang Yichen feel creepy.

So the child knew it, but he didn't think he was doing something bad, so his eyes were so pure, and he deceived both of them.

Jiang Yichen really couldn't figure it out, could the story about the rogues be fake, and the people who really killed so many tourists were actually these villagers?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Yichen's heart sank, and he felt that what happened this time might not be as simple as what they saw.

"Erba, the village chief grandpa said he wanted to meet them."

"Oh."

So Erwa naturally pulled the rope in front of them and led them to the outside of the cellar.

"Your name is Erwa? Then what are you planning to do with us tied up?"

"What else can we do? It may be that the village chief grandpa is worried that you will expose our position, so he wants to sacrifice you to the mountain god as soon as possible. Don't worry, it won't hurt at all."

Jiang Yichen now only feels that his whole body is hurting, the children in this village are so indifferent, let alone the adults?
Jiang Yichen actually met this village chief last night, but he was kind and amiable at the time, but now he seems to be looking at the dishes on the plate.

"Are you sent by the imperial court?"

"Yes."

"You should know who we are."

"You should be the so-called rogues."

But Jiang Yichen felt that something was missing, if they were really rogues, why they were so skinny, there must be some secret.

The village chief looked at Jiang Yichen and smiled, "We are not rogues, we just did something that should be done. The mountain god likes our sacrifice very much, and soon we will be protected by the mountain god."

Hearing this, Jiang Yichen frowned, a little curious about the mountain god they believed in.
