"Your Majesty, I feel that there is a fishy smell coming out of the water" Yu replied after a long time of thought.
"You fishy?" muttered King Wei.
"True, I smell a fishy smell like ... " Yu stopped his words and thought for a moment.
"What-like?" asked King Wei impatiently waiting for Yu to continue his words.
"Like blood, Your Majesty!" yu said with a serious face.
King Wei was surprised to hear that. He thought back to the girl's words when she refused to help patients affected by the outbreak.
"He said he would lose his life if he helped them. He said, he would die if he did." muttered King Wei who could still be heard by Yu.
"Well, is it possible that human blood can cure disease?" ask King Wei.
"Hamba doesn't know Your Majesty!" yu replied while looking into King Wei's eyes.
"It looks like His Majesty thinks the same as me" Inner Yu.
"Maybe my mind is overrated. Can human blood cure disease? Hehh... It doesn't make sense." King Wei's inner.
Long Jing Di met King Wei in the front yard. The plague problem is over, they must find a solution as soon as possible to overcome the drought.
The well they usually use has started to water a bit. The water source in the city will be cut off if it does not find a solution soon.
NEXT DAY
"Tock...Geck... Heck...!"
Yu knocked on Se Se's room door. King Wei orders Yu to call Se Se for breakfast together.
" .... "
Since there was no answer, Yu again knocked on the door of the room and still there was no answer.
"Did something happen to Miss Flo?" muttered Yu.
Yu felt worried but did not dare to open the door of the room without permission. He returned to King Wei's room to report it.
"Your Majesty, Miss Flo did not answer the servant's call. Servants do not dare to open the door of the room without his permission." said Yu.
King Wei stood up from his chair and walked towards the girl's room.
"Miss Flo...!" King Wei called out the girl's name after arriving at the door of the room. As there was no answer, King Wei knocked on the door loudly.
"Tok Tok Tok..."
Still no answer.
"Did something happen to that girl?" inner King Wei.
"Brakk!!"
King Wei opened the door of the room violently. She was very worried if anything happened to her. The girl always worried him without him noticing. King Wei immediately entered and opened the bed cloth curtain.
"The girl is not here. I don't know where he went so early in the morning" said King Wei.
"Maybe Miss Flo has returned to the Capital" Yu said.
"The girl is still here!" said King Wei while looking at the medicine box that was on the table.
"That box belongs to Miss Flo. If Miss Flo isn't back in town, where did she go so early in the morning?" yu said while thinking.
"Yes, prepare the horses! We'll find the girl." King Wei ordered.
King Wei surrounded the streets around Long Jing Di's residence. Yu followed King Wei to ensure his safety.
It was late in the afternoon, but the girl they were looking for had not yet been found. They returned to the residence to see if the girl had returned or not.
"Miss, did you see the girl who came with us?" yu asked one of the servants at Long Jing Di's residence.
"Sorry sir, I haven't seen the Miss since morning." replied the waiter.
"Where did the girl go?" inner King Wei.
King Wei stepped into the gate of the door to look for Se Se. His steps stopped when he saw the girl in front of him.
King Wei took off the horse harness he was holding and ran quickly towards the girl. Se Se was on a horse's back, he looked very weak. Even his sitting position was no longer firm.
Se Se looked at King Wei who was in front of him. Slowly his horse walked to the gate. His body had no more strength and he fell off the horse's back. He fell into the arms of King Wei.
The girl's face looked pale and weak, yet the girl smiled slightly as she looked at King Wei's face.
"I found it!" muttered the girl before losing consciousness.
Plenty of bloodstains on the girl's clothes, some small scratches painted on her pale face. The condition of the girl made the hearts of those who saw her ache.
"Yu, quickly call the healer!" king Wei said anxiously.
King Wei takes Se Se to the room with his bridal carry. Yu immediately called the doctor to check on the girl's condition.
Flashbacks
Se Se had just woken up from his deep sleep. It was still dawn, the girl went to the kitchen to look for food. Other than having breakfast with King Wei which ended in bloodshed, he had not eaten anything since yesterday.
His stomach was already starving at midnight, but his tiredness and loss of a lot of blood made him unperturbed by the hunger.
While searching for food in the kitchen, he noticed the water jug was already empty. The girl finally went to the well that was behind Long Jing Di's residence, but inside the well there was also no water.
Se Se was reminded of the mineral water that was in the dimensional space. She uses the water to make tea and then enjoys her tea with the mantou in the kitchen.
*Mantou\= bread
After feeling satisfied filling her stomach, the girl remembered the dried up river. His high curiosity led him to go to the river to investigate.
He took a horse from the stable and rode it to explore the riverbank. After riding for half a day, he finally found the reason the river was drying up.
The river flow was blocked by large stones arranged into a fortress in the river. Piles of nets containing leaves were also seen at the bottom of the river. The net was tied to the large rocks that were at the bottom of the river.
Se Se took a piece of leaf that was in the net and examined it closely. The sap from the leaves was similar to the sap that had dried up on the riverbed.
"Is this sap what makes them poisoned?" inner Se Se.
"Akhhh... Who is this crazy person?" yelled the girl.
"This madman, I will definitely kill him!" he said with a serious face.
"What am I going to do with these stones? How do you destroy a pile of stones bigger than my body?" inner Se Se.
"I'd better leave this matter to the man." he murmured.
He walked towards the place of his horse, but some people immediately chased him from behind. Those people attacked him with arrows, their movements were very fast like people who were already proficient in archery.
There were about 8 people attacking him simultaneously. The girl tried to dodge all the arrows that were aimed at her. Several arrows shot into his body and face, but only scratched his outer flesh.
