Chapter 140: Unhappy Retribution
Chapter 140: Unhappy Retribution
Siyu woke up after sleeping for a day and a night. She slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness was still fuzzy and her head was dizzy. After a long time, Siyu woke up. The first thing she did was to look down at her hands, then reached out and touched her face and hair. After finding that everything was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she suddenly lifted the quilt and carefully checked whether there was a mouse in the bed. When she was sure that there was no mouse in it, Siyu's tense body completely relaxed.
At this moment, Huihui suddenly ran in and saw that Siyu had woken up. She shouted in surprise: "Princess! You finally woke up! This is so great!" Huihui was so excited that tears almost fell. She was really scared and worried that Siyu would have an accident. Now that she saw that Siyu was safe and sound, her heart finally settled down.
"Where are we?" Siyu said, looking at the surroundings vigilantly.
"Princess, please rest assured. It's safe here. We are in the inn." Huihui deliberately avoided the fact that they were still in the original inn.
Siyu frowned, recalling the experience of having rats all over her body, and instantly got goosebumps all over her body. It couldn't be a dream if it was so real. : "No more rats?"
"What mouse? There is no mouse, Princess. What are you talking about?" Huihui replied guiltily. As long as they colluded with each other and pretended nothing happened, Siyu would not blame them.
"Am I really dreaming?" Siyu looked around again. It was the same room and there were no mice anymore. It could be just a dream. She didn't want to experience such a horrible dream again.
"Did the princess have a nightmare?" Huihui asked in pretended confusion.
Siyu looked at Huihui, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but she felt a little weak and her legs were limp due to her weak body. Seeing this, Huihui hurried forward to support Siyu and help her stretch her arms. Siyu said to Huihui: "I slept too long and now I feel a little hungry. Help me change clothes." Huihui immediately responded: "Okay, Your Highness." Then, she quickly turned around to get clothes and changed for Siyu.
Everything seemed normal, and they left the inn together. However, when they reached the door, Siyu suddenly turned around, handed a letter that had been prepared long ago to the secret guard beside him, and told him: "Hurry up and send this letter back to Tianqi."
"Yes, Princess." After taking the letter, the secret guard immediately mounted his horse and galloped away.
The only remaining secret guard and Huihui followed Siyu on the left and right, walking aimlessly on the street.
Siyu walked and observed the people and things around her. She always felt a strange feeling, but she couldn't tell what it was. Suddenly, she heard a noise. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a group of people gathered together, not knowing what they were looking at.
It turned out to be an old man lying on the ground, his face pale and his breathing weak.
The onlookers were talking about it, but they couldn't help for the time being.
"Is there anyone who knows medical skills? This old man looks very uncomfortable." someone asked.
"Oh, how pitiful. Who is this old man? He is just lying on the ground and no one is helping him. Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Someone shook his head.
Siyu learned her lesson this time. She was not curious and did not meddle in other people's affairs. Otherwise, she would get into trouble. She was very hungry and did not have the mood to watch the fun. So she deliberately avoided the crowd and walked in another direction. Huihui looked back at the noisy crowd, but did not say anything. She just followed Siyu's footsteps.
Siyu walked and looked around, and finally stopped in front of a noodle shop. She touched her rumbling stomach and felt that she was about to starve to death. So she turned to look at Huihui and said, "Let's eat something here. You go in and take care of it first." Huihui nodded and agreed, "Yes, Princess." Then she quickly walked into the shop. After a while, Huihui came out of the shop and reported to Siyu, "Princess, everything has been arranged." Siyu nodded with satisfaction, and then followed Huihui into the noodle shop.
Not long after she sat down, a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup was served in front of her. Looking at the noodles in the bowl and smelling the overflowing aroma, Siyu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and eat it. She didn't know if it was because she was too hungry or the noodles were really delicious, but Siyu ate it especially sweetly, even drank up the noodle soup, and finally wiped her mouth with satisfaction. She touched her stomach and it seemed like she could eat more: "Order a few more dishes. This princess is not full yet."
"Okay, Princess, wait a moment." Huihui immediately ran out of the room to order food.
After a while, the waiter brought over plates of fragrant food, which was delicious and tasty.
Siyu ate the food with relish. There were nine dishes and one soup, but she was able to finish them all by herself. She even ate a bowl of noodle soup before that. Huihui looked at Siyu in surprise. Since she had served Siyu, she had never seen Siyu eat so much. It was strange that she could finish a whole bowl of noodle soup. How could she still eat nine dishes and one soup? This was enough for ten people! Something was wrong! She stopped Siyu with a hint of uneasiness: "Princess, princess, have you eaten too much?"
"Are you crazy? You have no right to tell me how much I should pay!" Siyu glared at Huihui fiercely, not realizing how much she had eaten. She just felt hungrier and hungrier! She thought everything looked delicious, and the food even exuded an alluring aroma. She just wanted to eat it all.
Huihui stepped aside in fear and glanced at the secret guard beside her. Both of them felt vaguely uneasy.
"Order some more dishes! This princess hasn't eaten enough!" Siyu wiped her mouth, looked at the clean plates on the table, and said with satisfaction that she wanted to eat more!
"Don't eat anymore, Princess. If you keep eating like this, your stomach will burst. You've already eaten enough for ten people to finish it. Check your portion!" Huihui stepped forward to persuade her.
"Really?" Siyu looked at the plates on the table belatedly, and suddenly woke up as if from a dream, "What's wrong with me?" He touched his bloated belly again, and finally began to feel a little full, and the feeling was becoming more and more obvious.
Siyu was filled with doubts and worries. She recalled everything that had happened since she came to Zhao State, especially the strange rat plague and strange dreams, as well as her abnormal appetite now. "Could this all be caused by some kind of curse?" Siyu thought to herself. As she thought about it, her stomach began to feel uncomfortable and bloated because of eating too much food: "My stomach, ah......"
"What's wrong, Princess? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?" Huihui saw Siyu holding her stomach and sweating, so she hurried over and asked. "Quick, carry the princess on your back and go find a doctor!"
The secret guard immediately carried Siyu on his back, Huihui supported him, and they followed him to find a clinic. Strangely, they didn't see a clinic after walking for a long time, so they stopped to ask passers-by for directions. "Hello, where is the nearest clinic? My daughter is sick and needs to see a doctor."
The passerby scratched his head, pointed ahead and said, "Go straight ahead, there is a clinic at the corner."
Huihui thanked him quickly, and then the secret guard carried Siyu on his back and ran forward quickly.
When they arrived at the clinic, the doctor felt Siyu's pulse and said solemnly, "This girl seems to have been poisoned by a Gu insect." Huihui and the secret guard looked at each other and were shocked.
The doctor continued, "This poison must have been lurking in the girl's body for a long time, and now it has suddenly erupted, causing such an abnormal condition."
Siyu said weakly: "Doctor, is there a solution?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "This insect poison is quite rare, and I only know a little bit about it. If you want to cure it, you need to find the person who poisoned it, or seek help from a master."
Huihui said anxiously, "What can I do? This young lady is worth a lot of money, how could she fall victim to such an evil spell?"
The secret guard said calmly: "We can't stay here for long. Let's escort the princess back to the inn first, and then we can make a long-term plan." The three of them took Siyu back to the inn. Huihui stayed by her bed, while the secret guard went out to inquire about the news about the detoxification.
Si Yu closed her eyes tightly, thinking to herself, "Who on earth did this to this princess? Not to mention that few people in Zhao know me, and I have never offended anyone. If I had offended anyone, could it be the old man on the mountain that day? It's unlikely. This Zhao country is really weird. Since I came here, there has not been a peaceful day, and nothing has gone smoothly! There must be someone behind this! Could it be Yuan Niaoniao? Impossible, she's dead! Could it be Chen Shaoyi?"
After a while, the secret guard came back with all his men: "Princess, I think we should return to Tianqi as soon as possible to find someone capable of removing the poison. Zhao State is full of strange things, so we should not stay there for too long."
Siyu thought the same thing in her heart, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go now!"
At this moment, Siyu had been tortured for many days and was no longer recognizable. Her face was haggard, she had lost her former radiance, and her body was as thin as a dry branch. She no longer had the heart to miss Chen Shaoyi. She had only one thought in her mind, which was to return to Tianqi as soon as possible to seek help from her father and save her life. She felt that if she stayed here for another moment, she would die!
So, the secret guard immediately prepared the carriage. Huihui quickly helped Siyu into the carriage, and then sat in the carriage to take care of Siyu. The secret guard drove the carriage at full speed, and the group soon left Zhao State.
At this time, Yan Muyu naturally knew that Siyu was going to leave Zhao State, but he did not send anyone to stop her. Because he knew very well that Siyu was not only tortured by him to the point of being unrecognizable, but also poisoned. If he let her go, death would be a gift to her, and only a life worse than death was worthy of her! So he decided to let her leave first, and after she recovered and the poison was removed, he would torture her and let her taste what retribution was!
Chen Shaoyi also received the news that Siyu had left Zhao State. He turned around and said gently, "Niao Niao, the person has left." Then he looked at Yuan Niao Niao.
Yuan Niaoniao frowned when she heard that, and touched the baby in her belly: "Let her not be safe on this journey, as long as she is alive." The implication was that she could torture Siyu in any way she could, as long as she was not dead.
Chen Shaoyi then called Ming Xiao over and whispered a few words in his ear. Ming Xiao nodded and left.
As the carriage sped along the road, Siyu's condition became more serious. Her body was hot and cold, and her consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes fuzzy.
Huihui was extremely anxious and kept wiping her forehead while the secret guards hastened their journey, hoping to reach Tianqi as soon as possible.
However, their journey was not smooth. Along the way, people sent by Chen Shaoyi often appeared and tried to stop them.
The secret guards fought hard, but the enemy seemed to be well prepared and put them in trouble time and time again.
Siyu's body was getting weaker and weaker, and she seemed to see the shadow of death approaching. "This princess can't die like this..." She prayed silently in her heart.
Just when they were exhausted, a black carriage appeared in front of them. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a mysterious man leaned out.
His eyes swept through the crowd, and finally stopped at the carriage where Siyu was sitting. "I can help you." The man's voice was deep and powerful.
The secret guards looked at each other and still had to see what Siyu meant: "Princess, someone is offering help. What should we choose?"
Siyu opened her eyes tiredly: "Open the door curtain."
"I know you are the princess of Tianqi. Without my help, it will be difficult for you to leave the border of Zhao." said the man.
"How do you know that I can't leave!" Siyu said, trying hard to stay awake.
"Because I know that Her Royal Highness the Princess has offended someone she shouldn't have offended!" The man smiled.
"Then why do you think this princess can't escape!" Siyu asked coldly.
"Because I know that the princess offended the emperor of Yuan State, and the emperor of Zhao State is on good terms with the emperor and empress of Yuan State. That's why the princess had bad luck in Zhao State, and was entangled all the way after she came out. As for why, I think the princess knows it." The man still smiled faintly, making it impossible to tell his intentions.
"You." Si Yu was a little embarrassed to be mentioned. What she did was so secretive, how did a stranger know about it? Or as he said, everything went wrong for her. Could it be that Chen Shaoyi already knew everything about what she did with Duo Yuan Niao Niao? In that case, it would make sense why she hadn't seen him coming to Zhao State for so long. "Then why do you think I can trust you?"
"The reason is that even if the princess doesn't believe me, she has no other way to go. The way back is still full of dangers. So why be afraid of going with me?" The man raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile.
"Okay, lead the way." What he said was true, so why not take a chance? Siyu asked the team to follow him, and he continued to close his eyes and rest.
...................
"Your Majesty, we've lost the person." Takuyi Muzhen reported to Yan Muyu the news of Siyu's sudden disappearance.
Yan Muyu frowned, then smiled again: "It's okay, let her go."
On the other side, Chen Shaoyi also received the news that Siyu had been lost...
