Chapter 218 The Bitter Meat Scheme
When Yi Qianhuan saw Liuli standing next to him and talking, he felt even more guilty.
Not only her, but everyone else present looked at Liuli's wrist and found signs of the healed rash on her wrist.
"This mark looks real! Could it be that Yi Qianhuan's medicine really works?"
"But I've been drinking it for three days, and except for the ulceration of the rash, which has improved a lot, the rash on my body has not disappeared!"
"Taking medicine is a process in itself. Even if it's to treat a cold, it takes three or four days to see the effect, let alone a plague?"
"Keyi Qianhuan keeps saying bad things about Helian Guoshen. How can we trust such a woman?"
"Isn't it enough that her medicine works? No one said we have to believe what she says!"
Seeing the people talking about it, Yi Qianhuan stood up and said, "My medicine needs to be taken for five consecutive days to show obvious effects. As long as everyone present persists for five days, I guarantee that you will see the effect."
This time, the people present were not as excited as before, and no one immediately jumped out to refute her.
"Yi Qianhuan, put away your little tricks. You want to delay for five days just to target my son. I won't let you succeed!"
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
Following the sound, they saw Helian Xiujin and a group of servants from the Pingyang Marquis Mansion rushing over.
The servants were carrying the sedan chair. As they moved, the veil on the sedan chair swayed slightly, revealing Helian Ziyu sitting on it.
With just one glance, Yi Qianhuan was surprised.
"How come Helian Guoshen has become so weak and thin!" Others present also saw Helian Ziyu's miserable appearance and exclaimed in unison.
But after not seeing him for a few days, Helian Ziyu seemed like a different person, having lost at least ten pounds. His cheeks were deeply sunken, and his frail body leaned against the backrest.
Helian Ziyu had his eyes closed, his face was so pale that it was faintly blue. After hearing the exclamations from the people around him, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yi Qianhuan at first glance.
Yi Qianhuan clearly saw the sneer that flashed across Helian Ziyu's eyes.
Although this emotion was fleeting, Yi Qianhuan was sure that she was not mistaken.
Helian Ziyu, was actually provoking her?
The others did not notice the rapid change in Helian Ziyu's eyes. They watched him move his pale lips and make a hoarse sound.
"Dad, I knelt down and begged you not to cause trouble for Mother and Brother Mobao, why didn't you listen to me... cough cough cough!" Helian Ziyu started coughing violently before he could finish his words.
Helian Xiujin quickly asked the servants to put down the sedan chair, and patted Helian Ziyu on the back with red eyes: "I usually obey you, but this time I can't listen to you no matter what. I don't want to watch my son die in front of me!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Yi Qianhuan did not interrupt Helian Xiujin, but observed Helian Ziyu carefully.
There was a golden light in her phoenix eyes, and she saw that there were indeed traces of mysterious magic on Helian Ziyu's body.
"Miss, why do I feel that Helian Ziyu's condition is a little strange? He looks weak, but in fact he has strong vitality. He doesn't look like a truly weak person." Liuli was not sure, so she lowered her voice and asked Yi Qianhuan.
"Your eyesight has indeed improved a lot compared to before." Yi Qianhuan praised Liuli and said, "Helian Ziyu has traces of using the body-pulling technique."
The body-pulling technique is actually a type of mysterious technique. Simply put, two people who use this technique will exchange the true state of their bodies with each other.
Therefore, Helian Ziyu was not really weak, but he found a weak person to perform the body-pulling technique, which resulted in this state.
Liuli suddenly realized: "They are so despicable, they actually used the method of inflicting pain on one's self!"
"Although the self-torture tactic is old-fashioned, it really works." Yi Qianhuan sighed and looked at the people around him.
Without exception, they all felt sorry for the frail Helian Ziyu.
"Lord God of the Country, it's only been a few days since we last saw you. How come you have become so thin!" The bald man rushed to Helian Ziyu with a look of heartache on his face.
Helian Ziyu raised his eyelids with great effort, smiled weakly and said, "Uncle Feishan, don't worry, I'm fine..."
"That's enough, Ziyu, stop sugarcoating the truth! You were so weak from the prolonged bleeding that you passed out several times a day. Why are you still trying not to tell the truth?"
Helian Xiujin looked distressed, "You should have listened to me earlier and directly broke into the Governor's Mansion to bring Yi Yi Mo Bao out! You are all candidates for national gods, and you should have worked together! Now, Yi Mo Bao just keeps avoiding responsibility, and in the end, you are the one who gets hurt!"
"Dad, please stop talking. I am doing this willingly. If I don't deal with the plague, who else will? I am willing to sacrifice for the people... I have never thought about everyone being grateful to me. I just want to do my job well. Please stop talking." After Helian Ziyu said all these words in one breath, he seemed to be out of breath and gasped heavily.
"Okay, okay! Dad won't say anything more. Ziyu, your health is too poor now. The imperial physician said that if you continue to bleed, you will die. So no matter what happens today, I will let Yi Mobao come out to help you!" Helian Xiujin wiped the cold sweat that seeped out of Helian Ziyu's forehead.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Helian Xiu Jin looked at Yi Qian Huan.
"Yi Qianhuan, now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say?"
Facing the contemptuous gazes of the crowd, Yi Qianhuan's eyes were cold and clear: "Helian Xiujin, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your acting skills have improved a lot."
"Yi Qianhuan, you are so heartless! I know Zi Yu is not your biological child, but he has always protected you and your son and has never done anything to let you down. He has been forced to this point by you and your son, how can you still say such vicious words!" Helian Xiu Jin glared at Yi Qianhuan, as if she had done something unforgivable.
"Helian Xiujin, what's so strange about the magic water? You and your son know it better than I do. This thing only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. It can only push Helian Ziyu to the altar. You blindly suppress the key medicinal power in the magic water just to prolong the plague. What qualifications do you have to question me?"
Yi Qianhuan looked at the father and son in front of him and felt a strong disgust from the bottom of his heart.
She and Ji Chilian almost figured out the cause and effect of the incident. This plague was most likely caused by Helian Ziyu. As the biggest culprit, he actually had the nerve to pretend to be a victim here.
It's really disgusting!
