Within the space, everything remained as it was.
Three white rhinos leisurely wandered in the creek, and as soon as they saw her, they imdiately gathered around.
"Moo moo..."
Qi Yue patted the heads of the three white rhinos.
"Good, I'll cook you so corn now, two pots, how does that sound?"
"Moo..."
"You guys, a breed of their own, why do you love corn so much?"
Shaking her head, Qi Yue walked into the kitchen to husk and cook the corn.
While working, she thought about what was to co.
After Hu Keqing's death, that father and son were completely finished.
The more than ten thousand n who attacked Rishengchang had scattered, fled, their whereabouts unknown.
But the influence of the Hu Family in Longnan County Governnt was still not to be underestimated.
First, there was the force of one hundred and fifty thousand in the Longnan Army stationed in Nanling. It was unclear how well Song Gensheng and his team were handling it; by rights, there should have been news by now.
Furthermore, there were over one hundred thousand new troops behind The Great Wall.
It would not be surprising if soone among them took the opportunity to rise up and stir trouble in Longnan County Governnt.
Moreover, there was a daughter of the Pri Minister in the Hu Residence.
This woman was said to be very capable and skilled in martial arts, initially arriving with a cohort of won. It might be that her role went beyond just being Hu Keqing's wife.
The Beiyuan Court should soon be aware of these developnts, and it wouldn't be surprising if that ubiquitous villain was already on his way.
But these matters were not suited for her to resolve at the mont.
Although the Hu father and son had fallen, there was still Chu Yuntian.
Just this morning, Chu Yuntian had gained his freedom and began dealing with the affairs of Longnan County Governnt.
He sent his thanks and even ntioned that once the situation stabilized, he would like to invite Qi Yue to dine at his ho.
If things had gone as previously planned, resolving the matter of the poison people would have required Chu Yuntian, but now...
At this thought, Qi Yue sighed.
Earlier, Qu Wei had used unsavory connections and spent days checking Chu Yuntian thoroughly.
It turned out that ninety percent of what Hu Chengxuan had said was true.
The remaining ten percent only needed Chu Yuntian's own confirmation.
Yet she was still not ready to face Chu Yuntian.
Having promised Guan Yidao and vowed at Qi Yunzhang's grave, she was bound to avenge her father's murder.
But did she truly have to kill Chu Yuntian herself?
She was uncertain if she could do it, especially since when she first t Chu Yuntian, he had been a good man, a good official, a good foster father who had helped her out in a critical mont.
"Forget it, I'd better deal with the matters at hand first."
Muttering to herself, she carried the cooked corn outside to feed the white rhinos.
Regarding those who were unconscious last night from poisoned blood, whether they could still be saved was uncertain. She really needed to consult with her little robot assistant about this.
Moreover, Hu Keqing hadn't specified the location of the poison people before he died, just that they should go to his house. Could it be that the poison people were in his house?
With her thoughts in disarray, Qi Yue went to the laboratory to find her robot assistant.
As a robot, the assistant was undoubtedly qualified.
Apart from the tis it needed charging, the device was always busy conducting research.
"Dear master, you have finally co to our lab, can we start the extraction of active neural tissues now?"
As soon as the door opened, the little assistant excitedly ca up to greet her, all four arms making welcoming gestures.
Qi Yue really disliked its claw-waving appearance and glanced coldly at it.
"Put away your arms."
The assistant "oh"ed, obediently retracting the back arms, but still eagerly asked about the extraction of the Immortal Bug's active neural tissues.
"Master, you had promised to do this early on, how can you change your mind on a whim!"
Having not rested all night and fought through another, Qi Yue had a severe headache.
Being repeatedly urged by the assistant only added to her irritation.
"Alright, when did I change my mind, do you see in a condition to do this right now?"
The assistant turned its eyeballs to look at Qi Yue for a while then suddenly widened its eyes.
"Master, what did you do last night, you look like you've overextended yourself... could it be that we are now on a honeymoon?"
"Shut up," Qi Yue twitched the corner of her lips.
What on earth had the person who designed this thing cramd into its brain?
"Yes, master." The assistant nodded obediently, "Seeing as you can't do it now, we'll have to wait for another day, but I'm relieved that you took the trouble to co to the lab to tell . Although I am a machine, I also need to be respected...."
Qi Yue gritted her teeth, if she did not need the assistant, she would have yanked its power cord out long ago.
"...Alright, respected Mr. Assistant, I need you to do sothing for ."
Before the assistant could respond, she continued detailing the task.
"I need to sleep for a while, take out this morning's poisoned blood, study it, and combine it with the detoxification pills we made before. See if it can save those who have fallen into deep sleep."
Hearing this, the assistant shook its hands repeatedly.
"Master, this won't work, it just won't. The previous pills worked on those who hadn't inhaled the poison, now they have, and I can't handle that."
Qi Yue coldly scoffed repeatedly.
"Assistant, I have discovered a flaw in your programming. The person who made you must be a mber of the Conservative Faction, no matter how accurate your research and judgents, your external responses always tend to be diocre, which ans, you are capable, but you tell you are not. You are aware of this, aren't you?"
The assistant nervously clenched its chanical hands, then spread them helplessly.
"Dear master, I am a conservative person..."
"It's ti you abandoned your conservatism," Qi Yue interrupted the assistant firmly, "Make the pill!"
"But..." the assistant shrugged humanely, "Everyone is already dead, even if there is a pill, you can't make them swallow it."
Qi Yue frowned.
"I suspect the poisoned blood only puts those people into a state of deep suspended animation. The higher the concentration they inhaled, the weaker their vital signs beco, the most severe cases appear to completely lose vital signs, but they might still be saved. Otherwise, those who inhaled minor amounts could not possibly have been saved before. So, my approach is to use the Ghost Gate Needle to stimulate their brain and other organs, then try the dicine. If we save them, good; if not, we've done our best."
"I understand, please rest assured, master. I will do my best."
The assistant's expressionless machine face showed that it was moved by Qi Yue's words about doing their best.
"Thank you, and good work," Qi Yue patted the assistant on the shoulder, a tallic clink sounding.
"I am a robot, so it's not hard work for ."
Watching the assistant's eyeballs spin incessantly, still wanting to argue strenuously, Qi Yue rolled her eyes in silence.
After all, it was a robot, no matter how intelligent, it was still inherently blunt.
Having inford the assistant to produce results within three hours, Qi Yue then went upstairs to the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed.
Before she fell asleep, it seed like she rembered having passed out in just this way in her previous life.
What a mistake to have made.
She had thought this life might be a little calr, yet there was still so much to deal with.
