Hearing this, Mu Changxi frowned, "So even you don't know who poisoned you with the Gu?"
Cong Fei shook his head helplessly, "If I knew, I wouldn't be in such a passive state. I don't even know if it was done by someone from the Southern Kingdom, the Great Yue Dynasty, or descendants of the Little Qin Kingdom. My family has killed too many people in the past, and we have too many enemies. I don't know how many people want revenge, and I don't know why it has come to this."
He sighed, "When you first arrived, I noticed you. Especially you, Han Xi. I might mistake others, but I would never mistake my savior."
His eyes held a hint of a smile, "But I was afraid you would be scared if I approached you suddenly. And I didn't know if anyone was watching me. Seeing how low-key you were, I figured you wouldn't want to be discovered by others, so I found an excuse to approach you through your female physician."
He looked at Song Chaoyu, his eyes filled with admiration, "But Han Xi, you've married a good wife. She is very vigilant and very proper. She didn't give me any opportunity, insisting that I reveal my identity first. So this morning, I had no choice but to come and find you. Han Xi, do you trust me?"
In fact, so many years had passed, and their lives had all changed.
If they were to trust him completely, it was naturally impossible.
But Mu Changxi still nodded at Cong Fei, "I hope I can trust you."
"Good!"
A hearty smile appeared on Cong Fei's face, "Then I won't betray your trust. I came to find you today to tell you something. Your Chang Wang Fu has been targeted."
Speaking of this, Cong Fei's expression became even more serious, "Within your Great Yue Dynasty, there are people working from the inside, maintaining contact with the royal family of the Southern Kingdom. And as far as I know, there are people in the Great Yue Dynasty who wish to deal with your Chang Wang Fu. Not long ago, they collected a lot of information about your double in the Southern Kingdom. So I think you were probably troubled by the envoy from the Southern Kingdom a while ago, weren't you?"
Cong Fei also patted Mu Changxi's shoulder, "But clearly, you successfully overcame such trouble. I knew that if it were you, you would be able to do it! We've both experienced many life-and-death situations, how could we be tricked by such low-level schemes?"
Cong Fei was right.
Mu Changxi also nodded and smiled, "You are right. We did go through some things recently. Do you know who is colluding with the people of the Southern Kingdom?"
Cong Fei sighed, "I wish I could answer you. But unfortunately, I don't know. The King is now wary of me, and in the Southern Kingdom, there is another force that I don't know about, perhaps even the King doesn't know. I always feel that the waters between the Southern Kingdom and Great Yue are becoming increasingly murky. But my abilities are limited. All I can do is remind you to be extremely careful."
Song Chaoyu was already very grateful for his reminder.
Mu Changxi nodded, "Then, who poisoned you this time when you came to Qin Zhou, do you know?"
Cong Fei still shook his head, "I don't know. But I've heard that only the Zhu family lineage knows Gu poison in Qin Zhou. The Zhu family lineage was wiped out many years ago. Alas... I don't know. In any case, many things have become difficult to discern the truth from due to my brother's death. But it doesn't matter, I don't necessarily need to know."
Cong Fei's expression held a resigned豁达, "All I can do now is try my best to live. But if I really can't survive, I won't have any regrets. Dragging this body around, even if I survive, my future life won't have much interest. Let fate decide! It's just that I'm happy to have met you before leaving this world."
Mu Changxi hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Song Chaoyu.
He didn't need to say anything; Song Chaoyu understood his thoughts.
So Song Chaoyu nodded at Mu Changxi, and his eyes gained more smiles.
He said to Cong Fei, "If it's within our capabilities during this trip to Qin Zhou, we will help you. Cong Fei, we are not the same people we were before. But we've come through such difficult times, why compromise now?"
His words seemed to make Cong Fei fall into deep thought.
Mu Changxi then called Dong Shuang into the room, as if making a decision, "Dong Shuang, help Cong Fei to see if the poison in his body and his illness can be cured?"
With Mu Changxi's command, Dong Shuang rolled up his sleeves, "I can find a way for the Gu poison. My parents knew people from the Zhou family. When we reach Yunle Town before Qin Zhou City, we'll have to stop, and I'll go find that person to ask."
Even Song Chaoyu didn't expect that Dong Shuang knew people from the Zhu family!
Cong Fei's eyes, however, burst with much hope, "If that's the case, thank you very much!"
From that day on, Song Chaoyu's carriage traveled alongside Cong Fei's.
At first, they were somewhat worried, as Cong Fei felt that this Gu poisoning was unusual and perhaps someone was following them.
But after traveling for two days and entering the deeper, more difficult dense forest, they confirmed that no one was following them.
Even Tang Ming said that on such mountain roads, it would be extremely difficult to track them without being discovered.
So their journey to Yunle Town was quite smooth.
They were also lucky. Although dark clouds had loomed overhead for several days, the heavy rain only began to fall after they arrived in Yunle Town.
Although Yunle Town was not large, it was much bigger than the previous few post stations.
They found the largest inn in the town to rest temporarily, thinking they could safely get through the night. However, they didn't expect that in the middle of the night, Cong Fei's Gu poison would act up for the first time!
Song Chaoyu and the others were awakened by the knocking of Cong Fei's attendants. When they arrived at Cong Fei's room with Dong Shuang, Cong Fei was already writhing on the ground in pain!
Although his body appeared unharmed, the veins on Cong Fei's forehead bulged, and he seemed to be in pain and itchy, as if countless insects were wriggling in his blood, gnawing at his body.
His limbs were curled up, and although his attendants tried to move him to the bed, his body was unusually stiff and heavy.
Seeing this, Dong Shuang immediately stepped forward to give him acupuncture.
Cong Fei seemed to sense Dong Shuang's actions, enduring the pain, he opened his eyes and the first words he spoke were, "It hurts too much, kill me!"
