Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Qizhou, with its crisscrossing rivers and lakes, charming scenery and excellent spring views, is the only way from Jiazhou to Shengjing.

Dongling and Nanjing negotiated, the war was cancelled, and the affairs of Jiazhou Prefecture were settled. Chu Yuncang set out to return to Beijing. He slept in the open and traveled day and night, arriving in Qizhou in the evening today. Chu Yuncang ordered to rest for one night in the post house.

Although this trip to Jiazhou crushed Huang Dai and Kang Huaiyuan's conspiracy to overthrow the country and saved his life, there are still too many mysteries that have not been solved. Chu Yuncang knew that he was surrounded by dangers, so he mobilized thirty shadow guards to accompany him on the return journey.

Although the guards at the Prince's Mansion couldn't find anything suspicious, they didn't allow them to serve him closely. Chu Yuncang's food, clothing, housing, and transportation were still fully responsible for the Shadow Guards. Even everything Chu Yuncang used had to be personally inspected by Liuguang, demonstrating his extreme caution.

After dinner, Chu Yuncang reviewed official documents alone in the room, while Liuguang stood vigilantly outside the door.

Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound in the room, followed by the sound of a teacup breaking.

Liuguang rushed into the room quickly and found Chu Yuncang leaning on a chair with a pale face. The incense burner in the corner had been knocked over to the ground, and the unburned incense had been extinguished by the tea.

"There's something wrong with the incense..." After saying this, Chu Yuncang fell into a coma.

The incense burning in the room was angelica, which was fragrant and refreshing. It was Queen Yao's favorite during her lifetime. Chu Yuncang also liked to burn this incense when he was alone.

Liuying had brought the incense tonight. Liuguang had checked it at the door to confirm it was non-toxic, and then let Liuying in. Liuying poured the incense into the incense burner, lit it, and then left. It took only a few breaths. Besides Liuying, no one else had entered the room.

Liuguang didn't have time to think about it. He carried Chu Yuncang to the couch, ran to the door, called a few shadow guards, and ordered them to capture Liuying immediately.

The shadow guards looked at each other, somewhat bewildered. Liuguang and Liuying were both Chu Yuncang's personal guards, and he could usually give them orders. Why was Liuguang trying to capture Liuying now? Who should they obey?

Liuguang saw several people standing there in a daze and scolded them, "Why are you still standing there? This is the master's order, do you want to disobey it?" The shadow guards then obeyed the order and left.

Liuguang paced anxiously at the door for two steps, then called a shadow guard and told him to go to Kangle Hall in the city and invite all the doctors there. Liuguang had heard that there was a doctor in Kangle Hall who was good at detoxifying.

He returned to the room, picked up the incense on the ground and looked at it carefully, and found that it was no different from the incense he used before.

Liuguang was very confused. From the time Liuying lit the incense to the time his master knocked over the incense burner, it only took a cup of tea. His master should not have inhaled much. Besides, the incense burner was placed in the corner of the wall, and he could smell some odor while standing outside the door. Why was his master poisoned while he was not hurt at all?

Liuguang really couldn't figure it out, so he collected the remaining incense, wrapped it up and stuffed it into his arms, determined to wait for the doctor to come and explain everything.

Suddenly, a shadow guard rushed in and said anxiously, "Master Liuguang, we have searched the entire inn and found no trace of Master Liuying." He paused, his face solemn, and said, "And everyone in the inn died in the backyard, all killed by a single sword."

Liu Guang was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Everyone in the posthouse is dead, why didn't anyone notice it before?"

The shadow guard hesitated and said, "Master Liuying went out in the evening. When he came back, he ordered everyone in the inn to gather in the backyard. He said he had received a tip about a spy and asked everyone to go to the front yard to protect the master. He would personally interrogate..."

Liuguang pounded the table in anger. Liuying, the brother who grew up with him and the person he trusted the most, really betrayed him?

"Oh no, sir, there is an ambush..." A shadow guard ran in from outside with disorderly steps. Before he could reach Liuguang, he fell to the ground. He had multiple knife wounds on his body and his face was covered in blood. Liuguang recognized him at a glance. This was the shadow guard who went to ask for a doctor.

Liuguang squatted down hurriedly to check, and the shadow guard whispered, "Those people, their martial arts are like those killers in Jiazhou City..." His voice was very weak, and Liuguang almost didn't hear it clearly.

Liuguang hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?"

"I don't know..." Before he could finish his words, the shadow guard closed his eyes.

"Bah, damn it, these guys are really haunting us!" Liuguang was a little exasperated and couldn't help but curse. He couldn't stay in this inn any longer. He ordered: "Gather everyone, concentrate our forces, and fight our way out!"

He ran into the inner room and carried Chu Yuncang on his back. He felt vaguely that this scene was somewhat familiar. It was so similar to the night when he escaped from Jiazhou City!

……

In Qizhou City, Jiang Muxue owns an elegant villa.

Before marrying Xie Jingyuan, Jiang Muxue would stay at this villa every spring, but after her marriage, she never left Shengjing City again. Today, only two or three maids remained in the villa to look after it. The courtyard was left unattended and gradually began to show signs of decay.

On the way to Jiazhou Prefecture, Xie Tingyu brought Chu Yuncang and Liuguang to this place for a rest.

At this moment, Chu Yuncang's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was lying quietly on the bed in the courtyard.

Liuguang reached out and felt Chu Yuncang's breath, and found that Chu Yuncang's breathing was getting weaker. He paced around the room anxiously twice, and couldn't help but hit his head with his hands. That group of people were chasing him like mad dogs. What should he do now?

He looked at the lifeless Chu Yuncang, wiped his slightly wet eyes, and said silently in his heart: "Master, what should we do now? Wake up and tell your subordinates!"

Looking at Chu Yuncang's hand on his chest, Liuguang suddenly had an idea. He remembered that his master had a pill. It was said that the pill could cure all kinds of poisons. Even for those who were severely poisoned, it could temporarily protect the heart meridian after taking it, buying time for them to find a way to detoxify.

It is said that this miraculous medicine was obtained by chance by Empress Yao when she made many good friends during her lifetime. This medicine was personally made by Taoist Master Lingxu, who could revive the dead and turn bones into flesh, and was known as the "living immortal", so this medicine must be extremely effective.

Empress Yao passed away shortly after gifting the pill to the master. The master treasured it as Empress Yao's final gift, never considering it a medicine. But after the night of the escape from Jiazhou Prefecture, the master began carrying the pill. Could it be that the master anticipated a crisis like this one?

Liuguang no longer hesitated and reached out to feel around Chu Yuncang's body. He really found a small brocade bag the size of a fingernail. When he opened it, he found a small black pill inside.

Liuguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally saved!

He knelt on one knee in front of Chu Yuncang, bowed and said, "Master, the situation is critical now. I took the initiative to give you medicine. If you can wake up, whether it is beating or killing, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Liuguang no longer hesitated and immediately stuffed the pill into Chu Yuncang's mouth, and also gave him some water. Chu Yuncang swallowed most of the water, and a small amount of it flowed out from the corner of his mouth. Liuguang quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

Liuguang felt a little happy. It was a good sign that his master could still swallow!

After doing all this, Liuguang sat beside Chu Yuncang's bed and waited quietly. Thinking back on what happened today, he couldn't help but sigh and felt a little doubtful about this world. Is there anyone in this world who can be trusted?
