Giang So Uyen ran in from outside the door, nervously pulling me to check up and down. I was puzzled: "What are you doing?" After Giang So Uyen carefully confirmed that I was okay, I breathed a sigh of relief: "Just now at the exile camp, I met Ve Lang Tu." Her expression was serious: "That night he must not have died. The exiles spontaneously protected him to escape, the officers and soldiers could not catch up." "He hates you, it's not safe outside, you should not leave the mandarin these few days for the time being." I was stunned when I heard that. again. "Ve Lang Tu is not dead yet, he is still protected by the exiles? Could it be that he has joined the traitor forces?" Immediately after that, I shook my head. "I still have to treat the water, I have to leave the mandarin." Only Tu Thanh Hoan and I knew about being a decoy. If you want to be bait, of course you have to go out. Giang So Uyen observed my face and discovered that I was not joking. She could only say: "Then these few days, I will follow you and protect you." She said yes, wherever I go she will follow, no matter how much I chase her, she will not go. I can only wear her. In the evening, I returned from the refugee camp to the mandarin's office. Passing the night market, I stopped. "I want to buy General Tu a token of love." I looked at Giang So Uyen's whole body stiffen, slowly pointing to the jade pendant hanging on the counter of a shop. "Can you help me choose, how is this lovebird jade pendant?" "Phew..." The sharp arrow fiercely penetrated into her flesh and blood, Giang So Uyen let out a low groan, staggered a few steps before standing firmly. Tu Thanh Hoan saw that I was okay, his face lightened, he gave me a look, and immediately flew to chase the shooter. I watched her leave, my anxiety rising, my waist already tightening. Giang So Uyen's back was covered in blood, but she didn't have time to breathe, so she put me on the horse. "This place is dangerous, I'll take you away first." After whispering in her ear, the horse neighed loudly, turned and left the courtyard. The officers and soldiers behind had no more scruples and rushed forward, tying up all the exiles. Giang So Uyen quickly took me home. The horse stopped in front of the door, Giang So Uyen's breathing was heavy, her face was pale, her lips were purple. Is this…poisoned? My heart tensed up, I immediately helped her get off the horse, loudly called the old butler who was guarding the door. "Quickly send someone to invite the doctor! She is poisoned, she must be treated immediately!" The old butler replied, sent someone to call the doctor, and helped me help the person enter the door. Placing herself on the couch, I saw Giang So Uyen's eyes half-closed, an unnatural red streak suddenly appeared on her face, like a reflection of light, her breathing was so weak that it was almost inaudible. I thought for a moment, turned around and planned to go to the warehouse to get life-saving ginseng. But as soon as I let go, my wrist was grabbed tightly again. Giang So Uyen's palms were sweating, wet and hot, as if it could burn my hands. In her mouth, she muttered to the ground: "Tac Du, don't be afraid, I'm here." "I can't lose you again. Since breaking up with you, I realized that I love you, I can't leave you." "I guarantee, I will protect you from now on, you are my most important person..." I was not in the mood to listen to her nonsense, so when she relaxed her strength, she withdrew her hand to get the ginseng. The doctor quickly arrived. After examining Giang So Uyen's wound, he immediately wiped away the sweat. "Master Giang was poisoned, but fortunately there wasn't much poison. You should be able to drink the antidote. It's just that Lord Giang has just recovered from a serious illness. His body is still weak, so he must rest well in the next few days." Hearing that, the old butler breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me with a smile. "Master, it seems that Lord Jiang still loves you very much, and my body is still alive." It's not good, and you don't care about your life to save people." I lowered my eyes to look at the unconscious Giang So Uyen, but did not respond. Right? She is probably real

It's starting to care about us. But it's too late. Wrong time, forever meaningless. After Giang So Uyen woke up, I sent someone to take her back to Giang Palace. Just learned that Tu Thanh Hoan had captured the assassin who shot the arrow, and also found out that the lair hid a lot of weapons and silver. The next day, I heard the old butler say that Giang So Uyen also went to the prison to interrogate the prisoners. In just a few days, the case of assassinating the Queen Mother has made progress. The person behind is the anti-god of the previous dynasty. They took advantage of the exiles in the capital to hide, wanting to infiltrate the Queen Mother's palace and start internal chaos. The first person to discover something unusual was Tu Thanh Hoan. Then I was unexpectedly caught, which further confirmed this result. It's just that although the civil unrest has been dealt with, the water problem is still not resolved. The Yellow River disaster was extremely serious, there were countless refugees, and the water management officials at the court were in a hurry. When the Queen Mother asked me for my merits, I wanted to ask for a reward, I thought of those exiles who had no home to return to, and hesitated to offer an idea. "The Queen Mother, when my father was alive, he left behind many ancient books on water management. These days I have been looking through it, and found that I can understand quite a bit, and there are also some thoughts that are not yet mature." "I wonder if I can go with the court officials to treat water?"
