Seeing everyone lying on the ground ahead, Huangfu Yue frowned. Just as she was about to jump off the carriage to check what was happening and why everyone in front had fallen, she heard sounds of people falling one after another from behind.
Huangfu Yue cried out, "Not good!" and quickly turned to look inside the carriage. She found that Empress Dowager Zheng, Yang Wanqian, and several children had all collapsed.
As she was about to enter the carriage to check on her grandmother and the others, a strong wave of dizziness struck her again.
Huangfu Yue shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the dizziness.
She couldn't fall!
It seemed they had been drugged.
Although she didn't know when they had been drugged, she needed to quickly enter her space and have the medical system examine her.
Thinking this, Huangfu Yue entered her space and immediately told the medical system that she suspected she had been drugged, asking the system to check her.
The system immediately checked her, finishing the examination in three seconds. It informed her that she had been affected by something similar to a knockout drug.
"Immediately prepare the antidote for me," Huangfu Yue commanded.
"Yes," the system replied. After two seconds, it prepared the antidote and gave it to Huangfu Yue to take.
The medicine was very effective. As soon as it entered her stomach, the dizziness that had been lingering around Huangfu Yue disappeared immediately. Huangfu Yue asked the system to prepare more of the antidote it had just given her.
She guessed that her grandmother and the others were likely in the same situation as her, having been affected by something similar to a knockout drug.
The system's speed was extraordinary. Five seconds later, it had prepared the antidote for Empress Dowager Zheng and the others and gave it to Huangfu Yue. The system made the antidote into a very large spray bottle and told Huangfu Yue that she only needed to spray it on someone, and they would wake up immediately.
Huangfu Yue was very pleased with the system's decision to make the antidote into a spray. Spraying people was much simpler than having them take medicine. If she had to administer medicine to each person individually, it would be exhausting, especially since dozens of people were unconscious.
Worried about Empress Dowager Zheng and the others, Huangfu Yue dared not linger in her space for too long. She took the spray bottle and left swiftly. It had been less than a minute from when she entered her space to when she exited.
Exiting her space and returning to the carriage, Huangfu Yue immediately went to check on her grandmother, her fourth sister-in-law, and her nephews and nieces. She found that they were all merely unconscious.
Huangfu Yue breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the large group of people lying on the ground outside. They should also be merely unconscious.
If it hadn't been for her timely entry into her space to have the system check and prepare an antidote for her, her current body, unlike her previous one which had undergone special training and received special injections, had antibodies to knockout drugs and poisons, she too would have quickly fallen unconscious.
Just as Huangfu Yue was about to take the spray bottle to treat Empress Dowager Zheng, her sisters-in-law, and her nephews and nieces, she suddenly heard the sound of horses approaching from behind...
Huangfu Yue's gaze flickered, and she immediately put away the spray bottle in her hand. She opened the rear carriage window and saw several men on horseback about a hundred feet away. They were all dressed in black, masked, and armed.
Huangfu Yue narrowed her beautiful eyes. The way these people were dressed looked so familiar...
"I've found Black Crow. It's on the carriage ahead. Look at all the people lying around the carriage, it seems these are the people we're looking for. Black Crow has already knocked them all out, so we can just pick them up!"
Huangfu Yue saw the man riding at the front pointing towards the sky above her carriage. With her keen hearing, even from a hundred feet away, she could hear what the man was saying. Her eyebrows lifted.
Black Crow? Where had she heard that name before...
"The information obtained from Black Crow indicates that the person Liu Wu contacted before his death is them..."
A voice she had heard before suddenly echoed in her ears. Huangfu Yue curved her lips slightly.
She remembered. It turned out these people were the same group as the masked individuals who had sought a letter from them before. Connecting this with what the man riding at the front had just said, it seemed they had also received information from Black Crow and found them.
It was obvious what their purpose in seeking them was!
Who exactly was this Black Crow? From their words, it sounded like they had been following them all along, but how had she not noticed at all?
If someone had been secretly following them, with her abilities, she would have discovered them long ago...
However, she finally knew who had drugged them. She wondered how that Black Crow had managed to drug them.
A hint of curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes. Seeing the men in black getting closer and about to arrive, Huangfu Yue decided to capture Black Crow first before dealing with the men in black.
Compared to enemies in the open, enemies hidden in the dark were more terrifying.
Seeing that the man riding at the front had pointed above the carriage and said he had found Black Crow, Black Crow should be on the carriage.
However, it was somewhat strange. If someone was on the carriage, she would have definitely noticed. How could she not sense anyone on top of the carriage at all?
Filled with doubt, Huangfu Yue left the carriage, picked up the horsewhip, and looked up at the top of the carriage. She immediately saw a black crow hovering silently in the air above the carriage.
Huangfu Yue's mouth twitched slightly. Damn it, it was a crow!
Black Crow! Black Crow! It meant exactly what it said – a black crow. How had she not thought of it sooner!
It was all her fault for overthinking things and thinking it might be a mysterious expert codenamed Black Crow. To think it was just an animal!
What should she do? She felt a bit embarrassed...
The crow was clearly very intelligent. Seeing Huangfu Yue staring at it, it knew she had discovered it and immediately flapped its wings, intending to fly away. But how could Huangfu Yue let it escape?
"Want to run? No way!" Huangfu Yue jumped up and swung her horsewhip at the crow in the air. The next second, it was entangled and fell into Huangfu Yue's hands with a gentle tug.
Just as Huangfu Yue was about to thoroughly examine the crow in her hand, she heard a male voice from behind...
"Not good, Black Crow has been discovered and captured. Hurry and save it."
Huangfu Yue sneered. If they wanted to save this crow, they should first think about how to save themselves!
Huangfu Yue strolled leisurely to the back of the carriage, waiting for the men in black to come. The men in black quickly rode up to her, surrounding her.
