Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Wu Jiu stepped back and spread his hands, "How about you take a look at where you are now?"

I sat up and looked around, totally confused. “Where is this?” But soon I realized a more serious problem. “Why am I here?”

He came closer with a flattering smile and sat next to me. "You were injured and weak. Fortunately, you met me and I brought you and your people back. This is the posthouse."

I held my forehead with my hand. "Posthouse? Capital... I've already returned to the capital? What about the people who followed me? What did you do with them?"

"Don't worry. Since they are your people, I will naturally make good arrangements for them and won't let them suffer any grievances." He kept staring at me with an overly enthusiastic look, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"You talk as if this is your territory." I muttered, and then asked him to call my people over.

Maybe the palace has heard about me by now. Wu Jiu really didn't know or was just pretending to be stupid. He didn't ask much when he saw me dressed like this. As for the rumors that he even gave up the throne of Dayue in order to marry the princess, the person involved didn't seem to have any special reaction.

He stood up and walked to the door and said something to the people outside, as if he was deliberately trying not to let me hear, using the local dialect of the Yuexi people.

"They are all resting now. Why don't you eat something first? You must be hungry after sleeping for so long." I don't know what the people outside said to him, but it seemed like they were making excuses to prevent me from leaving.

I jumped out of bed, and although I was so weak that I staggered a little, I ignored Wu Jiu's obstruction and insisted on going out to find someone myself. I didn't believe that Tianhe and Ya Nu would not accept my call just because they wanted to rest.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Wujiu couldn't stop me, so he had to follow me, "Then at least put on your shoes!"

After pushing open the door, the small courtyard was full of people, all of them were Dayue guards.

As soon as they saw me come out, they all looked at me with caution. It was not until Wujiu followed me out that they lowered their heads to show respect.

Wu Jiu raised his hand and pointed to the room at the end of the corridor, with a helpless expression, "In that room."

I ran barefoot along the corridor, and no one stopped me.

When I pushed open the door, I was shocked by the scene inside. As soon as I opened the door, I saw steam everywhere, like a steam room. It was not only very hot, but also had a strong smell of medicine.

A long screen blocked my view. When I walked around the screen, I saw two large bathtubs. Tianhe and Ya Nu were soaking in them. One tub was filled with dark brown liquid of unknown origin, while the other tub had no water. But when I took two steps closer, I heard a hissing sound. When I looked out, I saw a dense layer of snakes and insects at the bottom of the tub, constantly wriggling and entangled with each other. It really gave me goose bumps. There was even a centipede about a foot long that slowly wrapped around Ya Nu's calf and was still climbing up.

I quickly looked away, took a few steps back, and looked at the two of them with their eyes closed, both of them seemed to be injured.

Wu Jiu followed me in, and I asked, "What's going on? Why did you strip someone naked and throw him into a bucket like this?"

"You really misunderstood me. I was saving them for you." He came forward and pulled my hand. "You can see that they are all recovering from their injuries and cannot move. It's stuffy in this room. Come out with me."

I shook off his hand, walked around to the other side of the Milky Way, and reached out to wake him up to ask, but before my hand touched his body, it seemed as if a huge eye suddenly appeared in the dark brown water and stared at me. After only a moment, when I looked again, there was nothing there.

"What did you put in this bucket?" I glared at Wujiu.

He spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. "My medical skills are a little different from those of your Qi State. Only this method can save his life. It's not easy to cure the poison of the puppet."

Seeing that I still didn't believe him, he sighed, "As for the puppet you just refined, it has no blood contract, so it is extremely unstable. I will use the Gu to continue to help you refine it for a while..."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand anything."

"You don't understand? Are you kidding me?" This time it was his turn to not believe it. "Don't you understand how to make a zombie into a puppet?"

I looked at him without saying anything. Although I roughly understood what he meant, I really didn't understand what he said.

"A few days ago, he was executed and his body was hung outside the Meridian Gate..." Wu Jiu seemed a little excited and pointed at the mute slave to confirm with me. I nodded. This couldn't be faked.

"So how did you do that?"

I had no choice but to briefly describe what happened in the charity cemetery. After listening, Wu Jiu frowned, pondered for a moment, and shook his head again and again, "No! Impossible! Even if you feed it with the blood of a medicine man, it is impossible to directly feed a dead person... Before that, when he was alive, what kind of poison did you put on him?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. "How would I know those things?"

"If there's no Gu, how can it become a puppet? No, that's not right... even King Gu can't do this. What went wrong..." Wujiu paced back and forth, seeming to be stuck in a dilemma.

I interrupted, "You haven't figured it out yet, but you put so many poisons into the barrel. Will something go wrong?"

"He's already dead, what else can happen?" After saying that, he seemed to feel that his attitude was not very good. He quickly walked in front of me and put on a smile, "I am a doctor and a Gu practitioner, so it's not a big deal to save them both. You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my ability!"

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke outside, saying that someone had come from the palace.

"Your Majesty, would you like to see him?"

"Who are you? Did you tell me what you are here for?" Wujiu answered with his eyes falling on my face.

"It was the chief eunuch Zhou who came here in person. He has not yet stated his purpose, except to ask to see the king."

Wu Jiu responded, "Just tell him that I will be there soon and ask him to wait in front for a while."

Then he came over and whispered to me, "Don't worry, I won't tell him that you are here." I sighed in my heart, you don't even need me to tell you, with the speed of the Dragon Guards' intelligence, they must have known it a long time ago.

However, as long as Wujiu is willing to hide me here, with so many Dayue guards guarding me, even if the palace knows that I am in the inn, they probably won't force their way in.

"Thank you." This time, I thanked you sincerely.

He smiled at me more sincerely and then went out to deal with people.

As he stepped out of the door, he turned back and said, "It's boring here, go back to the room and wait for me."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."
