Chapter 1546: Chapter 1484: Only One Goal
Wufu instructed Xiao Li to guard the sleeping Ah Jiu, while she herself went to the study room, sitting down with a cold expression.
Everyone present was aware of Ah Jiuâs Gu poison condition, and seeing Wufuâs aura radiate with piercing coldness, they didnât dare to breathe heavily.
"I wonât say much else. All of you should postpone every matter you have at hand. The affair of Lordâs Gu poison is the top priority. Fully cooperate with the Ghost Doctor, whether it requires people or medicinal materials, no matter what, even if it involves murder or robbery, bring them to me." Wufu glanced at her subordinates present and coldly said, "I only want one outcome: for the Lord to live well."
As long as he lives, there is hope, there are subsequent matters. If he cannot survive, then all the work and responsibilities they have now are all empty.
Do not talk to her about national duty, to Wufu, Ah Jiu is the nation, with him there is a country, without him, she couldnât care less about national collapse.
Everyone understood what Wufu meant and without a momentâs hesitation, they responded in unison.
One directive after another was sent out from this study room, activating all the spies and agents, in every conceivable way inquiring about this mysterious Gu insect. Everyoneâs goal was singular: to save the Lord!
Ever since the incident involving Ah Jiu, Wufuâs attention was entirely focused on him; she couldnât manage the household, fortunately, the people usable at Changqing Residence were already sufficient, her lack of involvement wouldnât cause chaos at home.
As for Madam Zhou, she simply informed her that she had urgent matters to attend to and could not always stay at home, advising her to find Purple Jade and the others to pass messages if needed.
Seeing her look unwell, Madam Zhou dared not ask further, only assuring her to go handle her affairs. Privately, she exchanged a few worried words with Qiu Xiang and quietly offered incense to the Bodhisattva, hoping for everything to go smoothly.
Apart from leaving household affairs to the servants, Wufu also barely managed outside matters and didnât receive guests. Fortunately, for business affairs, Master Gui was privy to the situation and would surely cover for her, while other businesses were taken care of by reliable subordinates.
Wufu focused entirely on Ah Jiuâs health, staying by his side as much as possible, which pleased Ah Jiu immensely, even joking that theyâd never lure it out, which nearly made Wufu angry enough to strangle him.
Knowing the Lordâs condition, everyone was cautious not to do anything that would upset the Lord, resolving privately what could be solved and shelving what couldnât be immediately addressed.
The news of Ah Jiuâs Gu poison also reached certain ears.
"Really, is it truly Gu poison?" The woman in the black robe shrieked in wild laughter: "Good, very good, Xue Dizi is dead, the Mother Gu in his body, thus, Jhin Mo cannot survive. Ha ha, even heaven cannot bear it anymore, standing by my side, very good, too good!"
"Donât celebrate too early. If they find a method for Gu Solving, he will live well!" The man couldnât help but douse her enthusiasm with cold water.
"Didnât they say that if the outbreak is severe, itâll cause the heart to explode? Then provoke him, infuriate him, can a person stay calm?" The woman wickedly smiled.
The man silently glanced at her.
"Brother Xing, youâre going to help me, arenât you?" The woman moved forward, leaning her whole body against him, reaching out to hook his neck, saying: "As long as Brother Xing helps me, afterward I will single-mindedly devote myself to Brother Xing."
"Arenât you afraid of making a wedding dress for someone else?" The man addressed as Brother Xing sneered coldly.
The womanâs smile stiffened, her face darkened: "Absolutely not, without her, how could that wench survive, it wonât happen, I forbid you to say it!"
She silenced him with her lips, and the man pressed his body against hers.
