It was Huo Wei who desperately protected everything. Why shouldn't I save him?
Du Gu Luanyue lifted her skirt and rushed several steps down the stairs from the door, saying in a hurry:
"Aunt, this matter is no small matter. Don't joke with me. Huo Wei is already on the verge of death. We can't delay any longer!"
Aunt Mei Jiang stepped back step by step, and even hid behind Sheng Yunqi:
"Your Majesty, this old servant doesn't care who is who. This old servant will only take your interests as the greatest interest.
The Prince of Yuzhang has saved you and blocked the south gate of Danyang City. He has done great kindness to our Southern Chu. But you also know that it's best to let some things end here."
Du Gu Luanyue walked over, pulled Aunt Mei Jiang to one side, and stared at her seriously: "Do you think that if Huo Wei dies, our plan will be completed and we can leave?"
Aunt Mei Jiang's eyes widened, and she replied matter-of-factly: "Yes!"
Du Gu Luanyue stood under the scorching sun. Her heart was like an ant on a frying pan. She took a deep breath:
"Aunt, you are confused. I don't have time to explain to you. Hurry up. Take out the Nine Lives Golden Pill that my father gave me!"
When Shen Guilan heard the words "Nine Lives Golden Pill", his eyes lit up. He patted Mu Rongjue's shoulder: "We're saved now. It depends on your brother's charm."
Mu Rongjue was also stunned for a moment: "What the hell is that?"
Shen Guilan looked in the direction of Huo Wei's room: "It's something only the emperors of Southern Chu have."
Aunt Mei Jiang ran away from under the banyan tree by herself. She refused to take out the thing no matter what, and covered the tassel on her chest with her hand:
"This thing, there is only one for each emperor of Southern Chu. Yours hasn't been refined yet.
The Nine Lives Golden Pill in our hands now was left to you by the emperor of Southern Chu, just in case you have an accident in Northern Yan.
Your Majesty, do you know how rare and precious this thing is? Some of the medicinal materials in it only appear once every fifty years. It takes decades to refine such a golden pill. Even many times, the refining fails.
Only those who sit on the throne of Southern Chu will have it. This thing can only be left for you. For other people, this old servant will not give it to anyone!"
When Aunt Mei Jiang got stubborn, she was not afraid to go against anyone. Anyway, she just wanted Du Gu Luanyue to be well.
Sheng Yunqi heard clearly. He looked at Du Gu Luanyue in disbelief:
"You are actually willing to give away the treasure of Southern Chu for an outsider.
Luanyue, where do you put me? Where do you put our friendship for more than a decade? Is Huo Wei really worth doing this for?"
Du Gu Luanyue looked back in the direction of Huo Wei's room. Her heart was twisted. She said in a harsh voice:
"If it weren't for Huo Wei desperately blocking the city gate and desperately blocking in front of the burning corpse cart, at this moment, those rioting people, whether they were infected with the plague or not, would have all rushed out of the south gate.
There are so many mountain paths. It's so easy to cross the mountains.
Do you think it's still in time to notify the Southern Chu soldiers to block the border now? Or, do you think the endless border is full of Southern Chu soldiers, and they can completely block the plague outside?
Moreover, Huo Wei was poisoned by snakes because of me.
If it weren't for this bamboo green snake, how could he be on the verge of death when there was an antidote for the plague?
Huo Wei saved Southern Chu and also saved my life as the heir to the throne of Southern Chu. How is he not worthy of this so-called golden pill?"
Wang Huyang just said a few words to Du Gu Luanyue outside. Someone was making trouble. They moved the corpse carts that were going to the east and west gates to the south gate for some reason.
In order to break out of the south gate, they also poured oil on the bodies infected with the plague. The corpse cart became a poisonous and fiery cart and rushed straight towards Huo Wei and the soldiers behind him.
It was Huo Wei who tried his best to stop them. His eyes were red from killing. Only then did he scare the people back.
If it weren't for Huo Wei, when the explosion rang out, the south gate would be broken, and all their efforts during this period would be in vain.
That was why Huo Wei was injured in his arm and was infected with the plague when he touched those bodies.
Aunt Mei Jiang loosened her hand that held the tassel. Her eyes were red: "But Your Majesty, this is for saving your life when you are in danger!"
Du Gu Luanyue stretched out her hand and spread it out. Her clear and cold eyes were full of seriousness:
"Aunt, it was Huo Wei who protected our lives, and it was also Huo Wei who guarded the city gate. There are thousands of people in Southern Chu. Can't they be worth a golden pill?"
Aunt Mei Jiang was not a completely unreasonable person. After hearing Du Gu Luanyue's words, she also felt that Southern Chu owed the Prince of Yuzhang a great favor.
She took the tassel off her neck and gave the lucky lock to Du Gu Luanyue. But suddenly, it was snatched away by Sheng Yunqi.
Mu Rongjue stood up quickly: "Are you also sick? You come to rob the medicine? Hurry up. Give the thing to my brother. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Sheng Yunqi held the lucky lock that contained the Nine Lives Golden Pill in his hand and raised it high: "Luanyue, I only ask you one question. What do you take Huo Wei as?"
Du Gu Luanyue's eyes were red. There was a coldness between her eyebrows and eyes: "Huo Wei is a proud son of heaven on the battlefield. He shouldn't die in a scheme.
In the future, Huo Wei will naturally remember the kindness of Southern Chu.
If you want to ask me what I take Huo Wei as, I'll tell you. He is my ally who shares life and death with me in Northern Yan. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. I've received kindness from him many times. I must save him."
At this moment, Huo Wei's body was like a pile of cold mud. It was even very difficult for him to breathe. The words from outside came intermittently.
He listened carefully to Du Gu Luanyue's words. At first, he was still very happy in his heart. For example, when she said he was a proud son of heaven, but when he heard that she took him as an ally, he was a little disappointed.
Heh, ally. Who was it that took the initiative to kiss him that day? She even sat on his lap and touched his chest. Is this still an ally?
Did she really take him as an ally in politics and a plaything in her free time?
Huo Wei was covered in cold sweat. His clothes were all wet. But thinking of this, he was angry at himself again. The veins on his forehead popped up.
Sheng Yunqi's eyes were red. He looked at her with a painful face: "What about me?"
Du Gu Luanyue sighed deeply: "Why are you like a child? Yunqi, if Huo Wei is gone, will you take his place? Will you help me speak in the court of Northern Yan?"
Sheng Yunqi's arm that was raised high slowly dropped. His gentle eyes were already full of disappointment: "When we were in Southern Chu, didn't the whole Sheng family help you?"
Mu Rongjue was too lazy to listen to them nagging. He jumped up with his lightness kung fu and flew over to snatch the lucky lock from Sheng Yunqi's hand.
He quickly walked towards Huo Wei's room: "Brother, I'll put this treasure in front of your door. Later, we'll disperse. You open the door and come out to get it by yourself."
Huo Wei said weakly: "Can it really save a life?"
Shen Guilan was a little excited at this moment. He immediately explained: "It's the treasure of Southern Chu. What do you think? Hurry up, Huo A'man. Don't delay any longer!"
Sheng Yunqi looked at the door of Huo Wei's room slowly opening with full of hatred. The lucky lock was placed on the ground.
He looked at Du Gu Luanyue's back again. At this moment, he really wanted to ask a question. If he was in trouble, would Du Gu Luanyue save him like this?
Huo Wei's whole face was already as white as rice paper. His body was lying on the threshold. His eyes opened and closed. When he saw everyone standing in the middle of the yard, he even smiled.
He was about to die, but he still raised his eyebrows at Du Gu Luanyue: "The medicine you gave me must be delicious."
Shen Guilan was about to go crazy: "Crazy! Hurry up!"
But at this time, Sheng Yunqi laughed. His smile was crazy and ironic:
"Huo Wei, Huo Wei, do you know that the Nine Lives Golden Pill is Luanyue's last retreat when she is in danger in Northern Yan?
This is the treasure of Southern Chu. It takes at least fifty years to make one.
If you eat this golden pill, what kind of responsibility will you take for her?
Moreover, what's your relationship with her?
You eat the golden pill lightly. If one day she is killed in the harem of Northern Yan, then she will be doomed. When being a person, you can't be so selfish."
Huo Wei's cold and numb fingertips were about to touch the lucky lock. But after hearing this sentence, his black eyes looked at everyone eagerly, and he slowly retracted his hand.
