Chapter 577 Xu Chonghua: He Came to Save Me
Xu Zhonghua's face changed drastically, and he whispered to Xu Yiyi, "The City Lord's poisoning this time was most likely caused by Xie Xiu! He must have sent someone to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion and poison the City Lord..."
Xu Yiyi covered her mouth with her hand and looked at her with an extremely serious expression: "Remember, this matter must be kept to yourself and you must not tell the City Lord's wife!"
"Why?" Xu Zhonghua was very puzzled. "Xie Xiu is a huge threat. He will definitely not let us go!"
Xu Yiyi looked at her coldly, "Have you forgotten that you and I are also from the Xia country? If the City Lord's wife finds out that it was the Xia people who poisoned the City Lord, she will only vent her anger on us!"
Xu Chonghua's face turned pale instantly!
Because of this, she always felt cold all over and couldn't help shivering when she slept at night.
The next morning, after Xu Yiyi woke up, she wanted to ask Xu Chonghua to act according to the plan, but she found that Xu Chonghua's body was terribly hot.
She reached out and touched Xu Chonghua's forehead and found that it was burning hot. She was so scared that she quickly woke Xu Chonghua up.
"An An! An An, wake up!"
Xu Zhonghua opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Xu Yiyi pitifully: "Mom... I feel so uncomfortable..."
She now just felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over.
Xu Yiyi quickly said, "Do you remember what I told you yesterday? You dreamed last night that the Yan army had broken through Hejian Prefecture, and that Duke Dingguo and his son had died in battle. Do you remember?"
Xu Chonghua nodded slightly.
Xu Yiyi quickly said, "I'll tell the City Lord's wife right away. Please ask her to arrange for a doctor to come. With this dream, she will definitely have the doctor heal you!"
Xu Chonghua immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Xu Yiyi with complicated eyes. Although she was still dissatisfied with Xu Yiyi's betrayal yesterday, she had to admit that Xu Yiyi gave her a good idea.
Sure enough, when the city lord's wife heard that Xu Chonghua had dreamed about the future last night and had a high fever because of it, she quickly sent a doctor.
After examining Xu Chonghua, the doctor prescribed some medicine for him.
Xu Yiyi didn't even have to buy medicine, as a maid would get the medicine and boil the soup for her.
Xu Chonghua was disgusted by the bitter medicine. She was a medicine jar in her previous life, but now she had to drink the medicine again.
But in order to survive, she endured the nausea and drank the medicine.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Xu Chonghua fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Yiyi watched over her nervously, constantly using a wet towel to reduce her fever. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Xu Zhonghua's forehead felt no longer hot.
If she wants to survive now, she can only rely on her daughter, so even if she is dissatisfied with Xu Chonghua's coldness and ruthlessness, Xu Yiyi still has to serve him carefully and save Xu Chonghua's life.
Because of Xu Chonghua's "prophecy", the situation of the mother and daughter has obviously improved a lot, and the doctor will come to check on Xu Chonghua's condition from time to time.
The mother and daughter were naturally quite satisfied with this change.
Now, they only hope that the city lord can get better soon so that their situation can be better.
Unfortunately, the two of them were obviously not lucky.
After just one day of peace, the two felt the anger of the city lord's wife again.
Because the city lord's condition not only did not improve, but became more serious. The city lord's wife was very worried about this and actually went to the mother and daughter's room in person to ask Xu Chonghua if he could see the city lord's future in his dream.
Her expression was too ugly and her eyes were too fierce, like a she-wolf who had completely lost her patience.
Xu Chonghua was so frightened that he was trembling with fear. He didn't dare to say that he didn't see the city lord. He could only lie and say that there was a general in the army who looked very similar to the city lord.
When the City Lord's wife heard this, her expression brightened. She continued, "Then you should have a good rest. It's best to have more dreams like this and see how the City Lord can get better."
Xu Zhonghua agreed obediently with a pale face. After the City Lord's wife and her people left, and only she and Xu Yiyi were left in the room, she nervously grabbed Xu Yiyi and whispered, "What should we do now? I don't know..."
Xu Yiyi covered her mouth and looked at her straight in the eyes: "Calm down, you did a good job just now, you must not panic at a time like this.
Try to see if you can see what will happen next. If you really can't, we can make up another one to deal with the City Lord's wife."
Xu Yiyi said nothing, but she secretly regretted it in her heart.
She originally thought that as long as she told the city lord's wife about the previous "prophecy", she would be treated as a lucky star and treated with courtesy.
Who knew that the other party was so cruel and only wanted to use her!
Knowing that she had become seriously ill due to "precognitive dreams", he actually wanted her to have more "precognitive dreams"!
Why is her life so miserable? Why does she have to go through all this at such a young age?
But Xie Ying easily became a lucky star and was even named a princess?
Xu Chonghua was extremely jealous.
She tried hard to recall her past life, wanting to find more clues from her memory in order to confirm the situation of the city lord.
But she couldn't remember anything.
At this time in her previous life, she was too young.
Apart from the fact that Hejian Prefecture was captured and Duke Dingguo and his son died in battle, she could not remember any more information.
However, the city lord's wife kept pressing on and kept sending people to urge and interrogate her.
Xu Chonghua's health was not good to begin with, how could he withstand such great pressure?
She had nightmares all night long and soon became even sicker. Not only did she have a high fever again, but she also began to talk nonsense in a daze.
But the voice was too soft. Xu Yiyi put her ear close to her mouth and listened for a long time, but could only barely hear the words "Xie Ying", "Why", "No", "Brother Tian", and "Save me".
She was anxious, but helpless and could only pray that the city lord and Xu Chonghua would get better soon.
Fortunately, due to Xu Chonghua's serious illness, the city lord's wife finally stopped sending people to question him.
Just ask someone to stay with Xu Chonghua and wait for her condition to improve.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Xu Chonghua finally stopped talking nonsense and woke up, but he was not in good spirits.
Two days later, Xu Chonghua's condition improved.
Xu Yiyi was very relieved, thinking that Xu Chonghua had survived the danger and was taking good care of her.
Who would have thought that that very night, while she was half asleep, she heard a sudden explosion!
"Bam—"
Xu Yiyi was awakened immediately.
She looked at the rooftop in confusion, muttering, "Is it thundering?"
Unexpectedly, a series of explosions followed.
Xu Yiyi was completely stunned. "What's going on? Why is the thunder so intense? Isn't it thunder? But who would set off fireworks in the middle of the night?"
As she was muttering, she saw Xu Chonghua wake up.
At the same time, another explosion was heard outside.
Xu Yiyi subconsciously comforted her daughter: "Don't be afraid, it's just thunder."
But then Xu Zhonghua said excitedly: "No, it's not thunder, it's Brother Tian's Sky Cannon! Brother Tian is here to save me!"
Xu Yiyi's expression changed drastically: "What did you say, Brother Tian?"
Xu Zhonghua smiled broadly, "Didn't I tell you? Brother Tian is the future emperor. He's the smartest man in the world and will unify the world! He's here to save me!"
Xu Yiyi frowned. "But the man you're talking about is only a thirteen-year-old boy. Besides, you've been in Yan State all these years and haven't left the City Lord's Mansion. How could he recognize you? And use a Sky-Shaking Cannon to save you?"
Xu Chonghua was stunned for a moment.
Yes, Chu Jiangtian should still be suffering in Hejian Prefecture at this time, so how could there be a sky-shaking cannon?
Could it be that he was reborn?
While they were thinking, they suddenly heard a series of footsteps coming from outside.
Immediately afterwards, the door was kicked open from the outside.
