Chapter 207 It's time to leave

The day to return to Beijing finally arrived.

It was sunny and fine yesterday, but today it was cloudy and drizzled.

Lei Yuxiu and Gu Shuiyue set off from Shangguan's house first, while Xiaoman set off from the inn.

Seeing that Xiaoman was in a good mood, Maier prayed in her heart that nothing would go wrong, and she must be sent back to the capital safely.

The rain became heavier and heavier, thunder rumbled in the clouds, the streets were completely deserted, and only their carriage was walking alone in the rain.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of Huzhou City, the coachman stopped the car beside the post road and said to Maier, "Miss Maier, it's raining too much, and the road ahead is full of mud. It may be dangerous to pass by."

Mai'er raised the curtain of the car and looked at the pouring rain, worried in her heart, and shouted to the coachman, "If it's too late, it won't be time for the boat to sail."

The coachman sighed: "If the car gets stuck in the mud, it will be a waste of time. It's better to wait for the rain to calm down and the road can be seen clearly before driving, so as to avoid those mud puddles."

Xiaoman's expression was indifferent, and he said in a calm manner: "In this case, let's wait until the rain dies down...Ah Choo..."

Mai'er heard Xiaoman sneezed, sniffed again, immediately became nervous, and reached out to touch her forehead.

"Miss, you seem to have a fever..." Mai'er turned pale.

Xiaoman touched his forehead and felt the temperature, "It seems to be a low-grade fever."

"It was fine yesterday, why did you suddenly have a fever today?" Mai'er was in a hurry, and shouted to the driver, "Hurry up and find a place to stop, Miss has a fever, so she can't go anymore."

"It should be because there was a cool breeze when I got in the car in the morning." Xiao Man said disapprovingly.

The coachman knew the position of the man in the car in the general's mansion, and he could not be injured or ill, so he hurriedly drove towards the familiar post station.

When he arrived at the post station, Xiaoman sneezed and sneezed more frequently, and the temperature on his forehead never dropped.

Mai'er was impatient, and the accompanying guards were also uneasy.

The general specifically explained that if this person could not be delivered to the ship safely today, then their lives would not be spared.

Maier asked the inn manager for an upper room, let Xiaoman lie on the bed to rest, and then ordered the guards to go to the city to invite a doctor.

Xiaoman covered the quilt and said to Maier: "Someone go tell your master, I'm sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the boat."

Maier felt that what she said was reasonable, and arranged for the guards to go to the pier to pass the message, hoping that the general would come in person.She was restless, always worried that something might happen.

At this time, a black shadow entered the inn silently.

Just a moment after Maier went to the kitchen to ask for hot water, and then returned to the room, Xiao Man disappeared.

"Kangdang——" the kettle fell to the ground, and Maier looked at the wide open window, only powerless despair remained for a moment.

At this time, a small road in the heavy rain.

Bai Lin, Ying Ying, and Hei Yao took Xiao Man on the carriage to Nanyi.

The carriage is pulled by two monster horses, and the speed is beyond the reach of ordinary horses.

In the carriage, Xiaoman gave Yingying and the three of them a thumbs up with a smile: "You moved too fast, you picked me up before I could react."

Tu Yingying looked dissatisfied, pressed Xiaoman's pulse and said: "Don't talk, don't you want to see what you look like now."

Bai Lin helped Xiaoman take a cushion and leaned against her back, his expression was not very good, "Is what you said in the letter true?"

Xiaoman nodded: "Although not all of them have been confirmed, they are almost there."

"If that's the case, the Yaozu must also be vigilant. Once the gods and demons confront each other, the Yaozu will still have to choose a side." Bai Lin said.

"Lei Yuxiu has always kept Chang Fengjue, and he wants to use her as a breakthrough to win the support of the Yaozu. After all, the Yaozu also lives on the Kyushu, and there is no absolute boundary with the human race." Hei Yao said.

Bai Lin looked at Hei Yao, nodded in agreement, and said, "The mind-reading skills of Yuxu Beast are really powerful."

Black Yao smiled proudly and expressed his friendliness to Bai Lin.

The two hit it off and soon became buddies.

"You two, don't make her talk, didn't you see that I was taking the pulse?" Yingying gave Bai Lin a glance, and continued to feel Xiaoman's pulse quietly.

"It's been so long, your medical skills have deteriorated?" Xiaoman smiled lightly, and she could see that although she was tired, she was in a very good mood.

Yingying let go of Xiaoman's wrist, ignored her joke, but said seriously: "Do you know that you are pregnant?"

Bai Lin was a little surprised when he heard that, but saw Hei Yao pouted and rolled his eyes.

Xiaoman's eyes sparkled, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he became happy: "In fact, I just have a feeling, but I'm not sure. So I was the first to think of you, and you will definitely protect us."

She looked down at her belly, and her smile grew stronger.

"Since you know you're pregnant, why bother, how about going back to the capital with Lei Yuxiu?" Yingying asked incomprehensibly, "No matter what he wants to do, it can't be done in a short time. You stay by his side until the end of the day." Isn't it good to plan after the baby is born safely?"

"I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to leave at that time." Xiaoman took Yingying's hand and said coquettishly, "Help me so that my child will be born smoothly."

Yingying picked up her wrist and checked her pulse again, frowning deeply: "Have you been paying attention to eating and drinking recently? Why do you feel that your pulse is a little strange? It seems that you have been poisoned..."

Hei Yao immediately sat up and checked Xiao Man's blood with demon power.

Xiaoman was surprised: "Poisoned? How is it possible?"

Black Yao checked, and his face became more and more ugly: "She is right, and the poison is extremely strong, don't you realize it yourself?"

Hearing this, Xiaoman's face suddenly turned pale: "Why? I have been staying in the inn recently, and the food is prepared by Maier."

Yingying let go of her wrist and comforted her: "Don't worry, the poison on your body should have been removed before it took effect, so you and the child are fine."

Hearing this sentence, Xiaoman's nerves that were about to collapse were relieved.

Yingying looked at Hei Yao, and said gratefully, "Thanks for giving Xiaoman the Fung Xu Fruit."

Hei Yao said: "I'm afraid that something will happen to her around Lei Yuxiu. As soon as the fruit is ripe, I quickly embedded the core in her breastbone."

When Bai Lin heard it, she almost thought she had heard it wrong: "What? You embedded the prickly pear in her bone?!"

Yingying took a deep breath and sighed, "It's a good thing you did this, otherwise we would not have received news of her death, but her death."

"Can you find out what kind of poison it is?" Xiaoman asked, grabbing Yingying's arm, "Could it be that someone wanted to poison Lei Yuxiu, but I swallowed it by mistake?"

Yingying was a little worried and said: "It is possible to investigate, but I have to go back to Weishan, and I have to use some equipment."

"Are you sure the child is okay?" Xiao Man asked anxiously.

Yingying gave her a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, you have this prickly pear, and no poison can harm you and your child. And you've been eating food that protects the baby, which is very good for the child."

Knowing that the child was fine, Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, the road from the Huzhou Canal Wharf to the post station was washed away by the pouring rain and became impassable.

Lei Yuxiu rode his horse and stood in the rain, looking at the impassable road ahead, burning with anxiety.

He secretly felt that something was going to happen, and regardless of Lei Yuqi's dissuasion, he tightened his reins and rushed into the muddy official road, running forward as hard as he could.

The road was muddy, and the horse's hooves were stuck in the mud and could not be pulled out.

Lei Yuxiu jumped off his horse and walked with difficulty in the heavy rain.

He didn't arrive at the post until nightfall.Covered in mud and drenched in rain, he was in a miserable state.

As soon as he entered the station courtyard, he saw Maier leading all the guards kneeling in the rain, motionless.

When Maier saw Lei Yuxiu, she took the lead in kowtowing.

All the guards also buried their heads deeply on the ground, not daring to look at Lei Yuxiu's expression.

At this moment, Lei Yuxiu immediately understood what happened.There was uncontrollable anger on his face, and the worst thing in his heart still happened.
