Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Chu Zixi was sitting leisurely on a carved pear wood chair, holding a celadon teacup in her hand. The color of the tea was clear and bright, just like the deep thoughts in her eyes.

"Master, the order has been given." Yu San's voice was low and respectful.

Upon hearing this, Chu Zixi did not look up immediately, but gently placed the teacup on the table, making a crisp and long sound, as if it was a response to the order, or like a calm acceptance of what was about to happen.

She slowly opened her eyes, and those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, yet they were so deep that it was hard to fathom.

"Yeah." She responded lazily. Although her voice was soft, it contained an unquestionable majesty.

Chu Zixi gently raised her hand, her slender fingers were as white as scallions, and her fingertips gently stroked the edge of the teacup. The delicate touch seemed to be telling the story in her heart. Every subtle movement revealed her inner calmness and thoughtfulness.

Outside the window, snowflakes are falling like a group of white butterflies dancing in the air.

Chu Zixi slowly stood up, walked lightly to the window, and stared quietly at the snow scene outside. Her eyes penetrated the flying snowflakes, and she seemed to be able to see the scene in the distance.

"Yu San, Yu Si, what's the situation?" Chu Zixi's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, but it contained a barely perceptible firmness. She frowned slightly, her eyes revealing her concern for the people.

When Yu San heard Chu Zixi's question, he immediately bowed and replied, "Master, the scene on West Street is really hard to describe. The cold wind is as sharp as a knife, and the continuous heavy snow in the past few days makes the weather cold. These victims have been instigated and have been making trouble outside the palace for a long time. Many victims have fallen ill. Yu Si and the imperial doctors in the palace are doing their best to make soup for the people and try their best to treat those sick victims."

Yu San paused for a moment, her face became a little solemn, and continued: "These victims not only lost their homes, but also suffered from severe cold and hunger. They are so pitiful, but they are used by others to spread rumors and slander you, their master... It really proves the old saying that there must be something hateful about pitiful people!" A trace of anger and injustice appeared on her face, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with the behavior of the person behind the scenes.

Chu Zixi yawned lightly, stretched lazily, and then asked casually: "The person behind all this is really abominable. Hasn't Yu Da come back yet?"

"No," Yu San said, "By the way, master, the secret guards went to the Imperial Master's Mansion to investigate just now, and did not find a large amount of food there."

Chu Zixi frowned and said with a puzzled tone: "No food? Didn't you say that the secret guards found that the State Master's Mansion had the most food stored? What's going on? Did someone move the food away in advance? Or is the news wrong?"

Yu San looked embarrassed, shook his head lightly, and replied helplessly: "I don't know the specific situation, but after reconfirming, it is certain that there is indeed no large amount of grain stored in the Imperial Master's Mansion. Our people have continued to investigate in depth to see if they can find relevant clues."

Chu Zixi was somewhat disappointed when she heard the news. If the grain that the Imperial Master had stored was still in the Imperial Master's Mansion, she could have confiscated it and distributed it to the people affected by the disaster. This would have solved the current famine problem. Now the key was to find out the whereabouts of this batch of grain.

She began to pace back and forth in the room, trying to sort out her thoughts. She muttered to herself, "This is strange. He is the Imperial Master, deeply loved by the people, and even my father has complete faith in him. But why is he not in the capital at this critical moment, and why is he hoarding so much food? What is his intention?"

"Yusan..."

At this moment, a sudden and hurried sound of footsteps rang out, interrupting Chu Zixi's unfinished words.

Immediately afterwards, a panicked voice was heard: "Princess, help..." This was Tianyi's cry, and there was obvious panic in his tone, as if he had encountered something extremely serious.

Hearing Tianyi's call, Chu Zixi and Yu San's eyes met instantly and they exchanged solemn looks with each other.

Chu Zixi walked out of the room without hesitation, and Yu San followed closely behind her.

"Tianyi, what happened? How are they now?" Chu Zixi asked Tianyi who looked anxious.

Seeing this, Tianyi hurriedly replied: "Princess, Yu Dayu Er was seriously injured and is in a very dangerous situation."

Chu Zixi's heart tightened and her brows furrowed. She immediately asked, "Where is the person? Take me there!"

"Princess, they are currently at a farm outside the city. I will take you there immediately."

Chu Zixi followed closely behind, her steps firm and powerful.

At the same time, the secret guards had already prepared the carriage and were waiting quietly on the side.

The horses seemed to sense their owner's eagerness and neighed from time to time, as if urging them to set off quickly.

Chu Zixi and Yu San got on the carriage, while Tianyi jumped onto the shaft nimbly and drove the carriage fast in the snow.

The horses' hooves stepped on the snow, leaving behind a series of deep and shallow hoof prints, witnessing their urgent journey.

The carriage slowly came to a stop, the wheels making a crunching sound on the snow.

Chu Zixi's figure jumped out almost at the same time as the car door. Her movements were light and agile, but her steps seemed a little hurried and anxious.

Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and an ominous premonition came over her, making her feel uneasy.

As I stepped into the simple house, a strong smell of blood hit me in the face.

Chu Zixi couldn't help but frown, and a chill surged in her heart.

She walked quickly into the house and quickly scanned the surroundings. The interior was simple and old, with mottled walls and leaky windows, revealing the traces of time.

But at the moment, these were not her focus. Her eyes fell on the two simple wooden beds in the middle of the room, where Yu Da and Yu Er were lying.

Their faces were as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, their eyes were closed, and their lips were trembling slightly.

Their breathing was extremely weak, as if it would stop at any time. The breath of life had become so fragile.

At one side, an elderly doctor was shaking his head and sighing helplessly. He whispered, "Alas, the injury is too severe. I'm afraid there's no way to save him. It's better to prepare for the funeral as soon as possible." His voice was low and heavy, with deep regret.

Chu Zixi's face instantly darkened as if water could drip from it when she heard this. Her eyes swept through everyone like cold frost, making people shudder. "Tianyi, quickly add a few more braziers, make sure this room is as warm as spring, and get some hot water." Her voice was cold and resolute, as if carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Tianyi hurriedly agreed and ran to get the brazier.
