MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 20
Teng Yuyi's eyes turned slightly, and she gradually felt that her chest was no longer numb and numb. She struggled for a while and slowly opened her eyes.
Qi Zhi said happily, "Miss Teng, are you feeling better?"
His injured right finger was wrapped in cloth, thinking that Lin Chengyou had already seen him by a medical worker.
"What's wrong with me?" Teng Yuyi raised her arms.
"You have been poisoned by the demon, but don't be afraid, the senior brother has given you Qingxin Pill, and it is no longer a problem."
Teng Yuyi was startled: "Is it really poisoned by a demon?"
"Miss Teng forgot, when you rescued me on the second floor before, that monster tried to confuse you behind your back, maybe it was at that time that she was infected with monster poison."
Teng Yuyi rubbed her swollen forehead, and vaguely remembered that the hairpin Hua Langjun breathed at her neck, the breath was freezing to the bones, making her feel cold all over.
She suddenly remembered the scene before she fell into a coma, sat up and looked around: "Where is this? Where is Huo Qiu?"
"This is Aunt Calyx's room. Huo Qiu is guarding outside. Just now, my senior brother checked inside and out, and Yaoyi has already sneaked away. Juan Erli ate Qingxin Pill, and the head first woke up. Senior brother was asking questions. her words."
Teng Yuyi subconsciously touched the belt around her waist, and Qi Zhi coughed, "Could it be that Mrs. Teng was looking for your hidden weapon? All of them were taken away by senior brother."
Teng Yuyi was startled, and Juesheng hurriedly said: "Ms. Teng, don't get me wrong, the senior brothers didn't search by themselves, but asked Mrs. Calyx and the others to search them away. Before you fell unconscious, you put a hairpin on the senior brother, and he ordered someone to search your body when he found out that he was poisoned. of."
Teng Yuyi pretended to be surprised: "I, I actually did such a thing, this demonic poison is so good that it can actually disturb people's hearts, don't misunderstand the two priests, I must have been poisoned too deeply to be confused, and I have no intention of harming people. , by the way, how is your brother now?"
"Other than not being able to speak and feeling dizzy and nauseous, everything is fine."
that is it? Teng Yuyi felt a little regretful. She asked Cheng Bo for this poison. Not only did it make people's tongue go numb, but it could also make people coma for three days and three nights. When it was used on Lin Chengyou, it only made him speechless?
Qizhi said anxiously, "Miss Teng, where did you hide the antidote? Take it out and give it to senior brother to take."
Teng Yuyi got up: "First, I have to find my hairpin, the antidote is in it."
"Ah?! Senior brother couldn't find your antidote, so he just confiscated your pile of objects."
Teng Yuyi's heart lit up, but he sighed: "How can this be, the antidote is on the other end of the hairpin."
Qizhi jumped up: "I'll tell senior brother right now."
After a while, Qizhi ran back, holding a bunch of things in his hands, it was Teng Yuyi's objects.
"Lady Teng, look, is this the hairpin?"
Teng Yuyi inspected it, everything was there, so she could only ask, "Where is the prince?"
"It's right next door."
"I'm going to detoxify the prince." She got off the couch with difficulty, staggered a few steps, and suddenly covered her forehead, "...My head is so dizzy..."
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi worried: "Is there any residual poison in the body? Madam Teng, if you stay here and rest, let's detoxify the senior brother."
Teng Yuyi shook his head: "There is a unique trick in our mansion on it, and we can't let outsiders know the trick."
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi had to patiently say, "Then Mrs. Teng, take a break."
Teng Yuyi rested for a while, guessing that it was almost over, and then slowly moved out: "I still feel weak, but I'm not in the way, it's important to detoxify His Royal Highness."
Jue Sheng hurried to keep up with her, and Qi Zhi nodded repeatedly: "I just said that Mrs. Teng has a good heart."
Huo Qiu had been guarding the door. Teng Yuyi looked up and frowned. Huo Qiu's face was full of color. If Huo Qiu could suffer such a loss, the opponent's skill would never be low.
Huo Qiu: "Miss, are you alright?"
Teng Yuyi looked at his injury: "Who moved the hand?"
Huo Qiu said: "Cheng Wang Shizi. When the lady was in a coma, the Shizi asked you to search your body, but the villain refused, so he tried a few tricks with me. The Shizi's moves are tricky, the villain... the villain was inadvertently suffered. Get hurt."
Teng Yuyi held back his breath and said, "Very good."
She went to the next room, which was full of people.
Lin Chengyou was splattered with demon blood, and it was estimated that he could not find a clean robe temporarily. At this moment, he changed to a pine frost green round neck robe, and the disguise on his face was also removed, revealing his original appearance.
Sitting behind the table, he could see that he was not in a good mood. He always looked like he was smiling on weekdays, but at this time his face was sullen.
Juan Erli sat opposite him, looking terrified, leaning beside Caly Ji, shivering when she answered.
The shopkeeper named He Mingsheng was sitting next to Calyx Ji, and there were also a number of beautiful girls, all of whom must have been wise men in Caifenglou, and they were not inferior to Calyx Ji in their dresses.
Calyx Ji turned her head and saw Teng Yuyi: "Yeah, Prince, you're awake."
Juesheng and Qizhi crossed the crowd and rushed to the table: "Daoist, Madam Teng has come to detoxify you."
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi blankly, if it wasn't for his inability to speak, there must be a bunch of good words waiting for Teng Yuyi.
Teng Yuyi stroked her forehead with her hand, looking like she had a splitting headache, and walked to the case unhurriedly, and said apologetically, "Master, it's just that this monster is too domineering, the villain himself doesn't remember that he used a hidden weapon to stab you. , I accidentally poison you, the villain is really sorry."
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi mockingly, and suddenly raised his hand, the meaning was obvious, quickly detoxify him, no need to say more.
Teng Yuyi bowed: "Just a moment, the villain will detoxify the Taoist priest."
While speaking, he took out the hairpin, fumbled to open the machine, and aimed it at Lin Chengyou's uninjured left arm, and unceremoniously tied it down.
Lin Chengyou's expression changed, he clasped Teng Yuyi's wrist with his backhand, and stared at Teng Yuyi, his dark eyes indistinguishable between joy and anger.
Teng Yuyi looked at him and explained patiently: "The white powder is the poison, and the red powder is the antidote. The poison is hidden at the tip of the hairpin, and the antidote is also hidden at the tip of the hairpin. There are beads in the middle, and the hooks can be exchanged. It cannot be taken orally, only by piercing the skin can the medicinal properties be delivered into the body.”
Lin Chengyou laughed silently. Although he couldn't speak, he didn't delay his mouth shape. He waved Teng Yuyi's hand and spit out a sentence: "Have you had enough? If I continue playing, I will have fun with you."
Teng Yuyi sighed: "Did the Taoist misunderstand? This is a hidden weapon in the villain's mansion. In order to guard against treacherous people, it is inevitable that there are some inhuman things. In fact, this poison will not kill people. If the Taoist insists If you are willing to use this method to detoxify, you only need to wait for three days, and after three days, the poison will disappear, and you can speak."
This is true.
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi for a moment, very good, is this a threat? Isn't it because you can't speak for three days, it's a big deal that you can't detoxify.
"You go." He pointed to the door and uttered two words silently.
Teng Yuyi understood Lin Chengyou's mouth shape, and said helplessly: "It seems that the Taoist priest is unwilling to solve it, forgive the villain's inability and can only retire."
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were scratching their ears and cheeks in a hurry. They couldn't speak for three days. The origin of the monster under the cellar is unknown. Senior brother is eager to go to various Taoist temples to inquire about it.
But with his senior brother's temperament, how could he be willing to accept Teng's hairpin again?
The two secretly pinched their sweat and were about to persuade a few more words when Lin Chengyou stared at Teng Yuyi's back as he strode away, and slapped the table angrily.
Teng Yuyi turned her head in surprise, Lin Chengyou looked at her and hooked her finger at her.
Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief and walked back quickly: "Daoist, did you figure it out? In fact, it's just like that. The villain promises that it won't hurt very much."
Lin Chengyou was silent, with the word "displeased" written all over his face, Teng Yuyi smiled at him, pointed at his other arm, and slammed it down.
Lin Chengyou frowned slightly, enduring the hairpin alive.
Teng Yuyi didn't lie. As soon as the tip of the hairpin was inserted, he felt a sensation in his parched throat, and the strange feeling of weakness and soreness in his limbs was instantly relieved.
Teng Yuyi looked at him: "How?"
Lin Chengyou opened his mouth and was able to spit out words: "Very good."
Juesheng and Qizhi were overjoyed: "Okay, okay, I can talk now."
Teng Yuyi smiled sweetly and said, "Seeing the Taoist master, the villain will feel at ease."
Lin Chengyou sneered: "Young Master Wang, you are very capable."
Teng Yuyi looked very modest: "The Taoist priest is too famous."
Lin Chengyou stared at Teng Yuyi, pushed the case aside and was about to get up, but suddenly felt a sharp pain, only to find that Teng Yuyi's hairpin was still in his right arm, Teng Yuyi followed his gaze and pulled out apologetically: "Isn't it right? I'm sorry, the villain was confused by the demon poison and forgot to give it to the Taoist priest."
She pulled out in a sloppy way, Lin Chengyou's teeth were clenched, and her arm was sore and swollen.
He gritted his teeth and deliberately gave a light smile: "Young Master Wang, you are not good at your work. You are so shallow that you are tickling me."
He didn't change his face, and there was a sense of ridicule in his words. Teng Yuyi almost believed it. Hearing that Lin Chengyou had practiced martial arts since childhood, this little injury might just be a tickling for someone like him.
She was a little dejected, and she would have pierced deeper if she knew it earlier.
Unexpectedly, Juesheng and Qizhi looked at Lin Chengyou's arm in panic: "Blood! Senior brother, your arm is bleeding!"
Blood gushed out, instantly dyeing Lin Chengyou's newly changed brocade robe, he stared at Teng Yuyi without saying a word, Teng Yuyi pretended to panic: "Sir, are you all right, no, you have to call a medical worker quickly."
The people in the room were in chaos. Fortunately, the medical worker had not left yet. Qizhi went to the side room and called someone over to bandage Lin Chengyou. The poisoned eye on the left had scabbed over, and the right side was deeper than the left one. few.
Fortunately, the medical worker was quick in his hands and feet, and quickly covered the wound with cloth.
The medical worker wanted to diagnose Lin Chengyou's pulse, but Lin Chengyou said impatiently, "Enough. It's just a flesh wound, why is it so long-winded?"
At this time, a temple visitor outside the door shrank his head and looked in. He Mingsheng stared and said, "Who? What are you doing sneaking outside?"
The temple visitor came in and said with a smile: "Master, the little ones have pasted talismans on every door and window, so I will report back to the master."
He Mingsheng put on a smile and asked Lin Chengyou, "Daoist priest, what else do you want the villain to do?"
Lin Chengyou waved his hand and ordered the medical worker to go down: "That monster is nowhere to be found, let's clarify the situation at that time first."
He continued with the questionnaire: "Where did you just say?"
This time, he was able to ask questions in person, instead of having to write them down on paper and then relay them, which was much more convenient.
Juan Erli's eyes were still a little frightened: "I remember that I was in the corridor on the second floor, and somehow I returned to the former residence of Nu's family when I was a child. Go. Grandpa used to treat grandma badly. Nujia thought about grandma's illness and wanted to enter the door in a daze. Then I woke up and found myself lying on a stone. The place was damp and dark, like a cellar or something. The place where I was, I was so scared that I lost my soul, and when I wanted to run, the stone was slippery and greasy, and the slave fell, and then I didn’t know anything.”
While the room was busy with questions, Teng Yuyi quietly wanted to leave, Lin Chengyou looked up at her: "Wait a minute."
again? Teng Yuyi said in surprise: "Daoist, it's none of my business here."
Lin Chengyou smiled: "Wang Gongzi is the first person to see the monster tonight, and then he witnessed one of the illusions. Speaking of which, he is the most important person. How can you just leave? The situation in the small Buddhist hall. You have also seen it, if the big demon is not removed as soon as possible, the number of people who will suffer in the future will be unknown, the prince is so warmhearted, he will not turn a blind eye."
Everyone in the room looked at Teng Yuyi, as if Teng Yuyi would be as abominable as a monster if he didn't agree.
Juesheng and Qizhi dragged Teng Yuyi and led her to sit next to him: "Young Master Wang, don't worry, the Taoist priest will ask Juan'erli and it will be your turn."
Teng Yuyi was framed by the two of them, but she couldn't get out: "The Taoist priest's words are very reasonable, but it's already ugly now. I have to go back to the house next time, otherwise my aunt and cousin should be worried."
Of course, once you leave, you can never come back.
Lin Chengyou wrote lightly: "No hurry, I have already arranged for the prince."
Teng Yuyi was taken aback for a moment: "It's arranged?"
"I sent a letter to Du Mansion, saying that you were drinking at Caifeng Building in Pingkangfang, because you just came to Chang'an for freshness, and you refused to go back. You are very happy now, and you will return to Du Mansion after playing until dawn. The Doctor and Mrs. Du don't have to worry."
Several beautiful girls in the room covered their red lips with fans and laughed lightly. It's okay to not go home at night, and he also took Xun Huan as a matter of course. When the prince goes back tomorrow morning, he must be taught by his elders.
Teng Yuyi's eyelids twitched, and a sentence came out from between her teeth: "The Taoist priest is so thoughtful, but the villain is disrespectful."
Lin Chengyou said with a smile, "Young Master Wang is brave and courageous, and you deserve this courtesy. Don't be stunned, and quickly sit down for the Young Master Wang."
Teng Yuyi lifted the hem of her clothes and sat down patiently. Lin Chengyou went on to ask Erli: "When you woke up from the stone, you could feel the writing on it?"
Juan Erli thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes. It's densely packed, and it's written a lot, but the slave family was so obsessed with it at the time that they didn't pay attention to what was written."
Qi Zhi said strangely: "Senior brother, didn't you sneak into the cellar at the time? You should see it better than Juan Erli."
The Absolute Saint said: "Don't mention it, the stone tablet was still there when we went down, and just after we rescued Juanerli, the monster appeared. This thing chased us and destroyed the stone tablet. The bottom can't be used, and it was difficult to sneak back to the original place, and the stone tablet has long been crushed into powder."
Everyone shuddered. After this monster broke through the formation, they were afraid that the stone tablet would reveal its details, and it was possible to plan this step in advance. This kind of old-fashioned tricks are probably beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Lin Chengyou asked a few more questions, and when Juan Erli asked three questions, he turned to Teng Yuyi: "My lord, I heard that the illusion you saw on the second floor was different from what Qizhi saw?"
"Yes." Teng Yu said thoughtfully, "Chief Zhizhi said that he saw a Hu Cake Shop, but I saw an abandoned courtyard. The courtyard seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and there is a well in the middle."
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi wondered: "Senior brother, you are clearly in the same place, why do you see different illusions?"
Teng Yu thought for a while: "I remember the two Taoist priests once said that Caifenglou was formerly a Caibo shop, and the shop owner of Caibo shop once took a concubine, and the concubine jumped into the well because she couldn't bear the humiliation of the lady. Could it have something to do with that?"
The expressions of everyone in the room were different. The owner and his wife of Caibohang had died strangely. Caifeng Building kept a secret, and there were constant strange things in the building. They couldn't help but think about it for a long time.
Lin Chengyou knocked on the table: "The shop owner of Caibohang died of illness on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month of the previous year, and the owner's wife hanged herself on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. The concubine jumped into the well as early as the second day of the eighth lunar month. It has been over a year since then. When you die, if you have obsessions, it is not bad to use it to create an illusion to confuse people's minds, but tonight's illusion is not like the memory of the dead."
Although He Mingsheng was a big man, he was more timid than the trickster beside him. Hearing this for a long time, his teeth were trembling with fright: "Dao, Daochang means this, is it because the memory of living people fails?"
"Juan'erli is a ready-made example. The illusion that Qizhi saw was her childhood memory. Coincidentally, at that time, Juanerli was kidnapped by monsters. Before tonight, strange things happened frequently in your building. , but no one lost their way in the corridor on the second floor, so I guess that the monster broke out recently, and the first people to encounter its illusion were Qizhi and Wang Gongzi."
Jue Sheng said: "Qizhi saw the Hu Cake Shop, and Wang Gongzi saw a well. If it is the memory of a living person, what does that well mean? Could it be the obsession of another person in the building? ?"
"But the only one missing tonight is Juan Erli, who was rescued by us. Where is the other person?"
Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "Storekeeper, you can call everyone in the building over, not one of the actors, the fake mother, and the temple guests."
With a pale face, He Mingsheng hurriedly instructed the people under him: "Quickly, take a snapshot of what the Daoist said."
"Young Master Wang, are you good at brush and ink?" Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi again.
Teng Yuyi had already guessed what he was going to do: "You want me to draw that garden and that well?"
Lin Chengyou walked to the book desk, took off a pen and said, "Since you have guessed it, the prince will invite you quickly."
Teng Yuyi took the pen beside him and slowly recalled it. At that time, he just glanced at it quickly and didn't look closely. He only remembered that although the courtyard was dilapidated, it still had a quaint and elegant rhyme. There was a tree beside the well, which was about to die of old age. , the surrounding mist is shrouded, and it is not clear whether it is a peach tree or a plum tree.
The area around the well was very dirty, as if it had just rained and the ground was full of muddy feet, and I can't remember anything else.
She drew it as she did, and Lin Chengyou took it over to take a look. Teng Yuyi's painting skills were actually pretty good, with only a few strokes, she had already outlined the important points one by one.
At this time, everyone in the building was called, and they pushed and crowded at the door. He Mingsheng shouted: "Don't push, whoever I've called will go in, and those who haven't been called will wait outside for me. ."
Teng Yuyi returned to his seat. The host named He Mingsheng looked timid as a mouse, but he had the ability to be a royal. No one outside dared to act rashly after shouting like this.
Lin Chengyou said to He Mingsheng: "Call them in one by one to recognize the painting. If anyone recognizes the well in this painting, you must tell me on the spot, because this person is likely to be the next target of Yaoyi and may be poisoned at any time."
He Mingsheng agreed, went outside to explain the whole story in person, and when he returned to the room, he pointed to several beautiful prostitutes in the room, and said to Lin Chengyou: "Daoist, there are too many people outside, why don't we start with the few in the room. "
Teng Yuyi took a look at them one by one, and together with Calyx Ji and Juanerli, there were a total of nine bewitching tricksters in the room, all with charming eyes.
After hearing He Mingsheng's words, Caly Ji threw a wink at Teng Yuyi: "The slave family is the oldest and is familiar with the prince. Since the painting was painted by the prince himself, why don't you let the slave family be the first to taste it."
She said, got up, walked over, shook her head and said, "I have never seen such a well."
Lin Chengyou reminded her, "Look carefully."
Calyx Ji smiled brightly: "The slave family has looked carefully, I really haven't seen it before."
When she faced Lin Chengyou, her attitude was quite serious. At first, Lin Chengyou was a man who was seven feet tall, not like Teng Yuyi, who was a girl pretending to be a barbarian. She always treated men and women differently.
Besides, Lin Chengyou is one of the most noble people in Chang'an City. She has long been willing to push the curling pear in front of Lin Chengyou. If she can catch up with such a favored man, even her fake mother will follow the chicken and the dog to the sky.
Naihe Juanerli was frightened, her daughter did not live up to her expectations, and her fake mother did not dare to be presumptuous.
Lin Chengyou really didn't even look at her, and said directly, "Next."
This time it was Wei Zi who got up. She was born with plump muscles and jade bones, and her makeup was very elegant. On her forehead was a pale pink flower, but her lips were lit with red lips.
Lin Chengyou clicked on the scroll and asked her, "Have you seen it?"
Wei Zi looked much more carefully than Calyx Ji, put the fan in front of the plump chest, leaned down to look left, looked right, and finally walked around the table, accidentally dropped the fan on Lin Chengyou's feet.
"Oops~" She bit her blush lips, and bent down to pick it up, but Lin Chengyou sneered and stepped on the fan with one foot.
Wei Zi covered her lips and smiled. This young man is not only good-looking, but also handsome and domineering. She has long wanted to tease him, but she has never found a chance.
Unexpectedly, this little Langjun still understands the taste. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the other hand gently pulled the fan out, but Lin Chengyou's foot was hard, and the fan and the fan bones were broken into pieces, no, it was broken into a handful of pieces. Scum.
She was instantly chilled, and she heard Lin Chengyou smile: "Do you understand? I can't understand such a big painting. In my opinion, you don't have to stay at Pingkangfang."
Wei Zi shook his head and nodded: "Look, look, I understand."
"Have you seen it?"
"The slave family has never seen it."
Lin Chengyou said, "You haven't seen it yet and you're leaving?"
Wei Zi returned to her original place in despair. Someone outside seemed to sneer. Her legs were soft, so she didn't even bother to find out who it was.
Next are Yao Huang and Hong Ge, one of them is very slender and slender, and their waists are too thin to hold.
The other is charming and cute, and has the arrogance of the daughter of a noble family in her demeanor.
Teng Yuyi watched from the side, secretly thinking that this Caifeng Tower is indeed outstanding, and these four stunning beauties with different looks alone are enough to attract wild bees and butterflies all over the city.
With Wei Zi as a lesson from the past, the second daughter did not dare to provoke Lin Chengyou.
After the people in the room had finished recognizing, He Mingsheng urged the people outside to come in, and half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, but no one had seen such a picture.
He Mingsheng went outside to check it out in person. The people who had just entered the room and recognized the paintings, regardless of gender, were all brought together to the downstairs hall to obey orders. There was only one person left in the corridor.
He Mingsheng couldn't name the person, but Calyx Ji called out, "Qingzhi, come in quickly, you are the only one left."
He said to Lin Chengyou: "Last month, a courtesan named Ge Jin in our building was disfigured by Li Gui, this Qingzhi is Ge Jin's personal maid, and after Ge Jin is injured, there is no one to help her, so Qingzhi came a little late. "
While talking, the maid named Qingzhi came in. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with dark skin and a bit silly appearance. After she came in, she bowed to Lin Chengyou and walked to the desk with a foolish head.
Teng Yuyi looked at her without blinking. This was the last person in the building. If even Qingzhi had never seen this well, Lin Chengyou's guess was probably wrong.
However, Lin Chengyou obviously never doubted his ability. He looked at Qingzhi and said firmly, "Where have you seen this well?"
Qingzhi looked at it for a while, and said cheerfully, "I haven't seen the slave family before."
The smile on Lin Chengyou's face froze: "Look carefully."
Qingzhi waved his hand: "I have never seen the slave family."
Lin Chengyou stopped talking, and Juesheng and Qizhi said in surprise, "The store owner, Aunt Calyx, are all the people in the building here?"
He Mingsheng and Caly Ji were stunned and said, "They are all here, and even the cook of the chef has called over."
Juesheng and Qizhi looked at each other in dismay. Could it be that Senior Brother guessed wrong? Yaoyi didn't aim at the next one. This well in the illusion was not the obsession of a living person in the building.
Teng Yuyi suddenly said: "No, there is one person missing."
"Who?"
Lin Chengyou obviously also thought of this: "Didn't it say that there is a lady Gejin who was disfigured by the Specter, where does she live, why didn't she come? What are you doing, show me the way quickly."
***
Ge Jin held a scroll of books in her hand and looked out of the window in dismay. Chang'an is full of moon, and can't shine through her secluded window.
There used to be a lot of cars and horses, and now she sits all night. Since she was injured and disfigured, her situation has plummeted. There must be a lot of noise in the building tonight. There must be some reason, but more than an hour has passed, and no one has told her what happened.
I still remember the Shangyuan Festival, when the grandson of the king took her out on a trip, full of affection, and feasting. She entertained the audience with poems and chants at the banquet, which shocked the whole audience. Thinking back to those days, how beautiful she was. In the end, all of this happened because of a rash. The "female ghosts" who entered the room were all vanished.
She touched Mansha's half-covered face, her beautiful eyes burst out with strong hatred, how could she be reconciled, Huarongyue's appearance was ruined by a so-called "special ghost", I hope this is a nightmare, no , This must be a nightmare, I have been up for so long, I should have woken up long ago.
She pushed aside the quilt and ran barefoot to the mirror stage, hesitating and hesitating, and finally, trembling, pulled off the veil on her face, seeing the red wound in the mirror, her heart was broken into a thousand pieces, and said What kind of ghosts and gods are harming people, so she can deceive others but not her, she will not give up, she must find out who the poisonous woman is.
Just as he was weeping bitterly, footsteps suddenly sounded in the silent corridor outside.
The man walked straight to her door, "tuktuktuk", and knocked on the door.
Ge Jin wiped away the tears, cleared his throat and said, "Who?"
Outside the door, he replied flatly, "It's me, Calyx. I heard that you didn't eat dinner tonight, so I'll come and see you."
Ge Jin was a little puzzled. Just half an hour ago, someone ran to her door to paste something, saying that it was a talisman paper given by Taoist Qingyunguan, and it must be attached immediately.
The man also said that it was not peaceful outside, and everyone had to stay in the room honestly tonight and not move around without authorization.
She was tired from crying and was dozing, and she didn't listen carefully. If everyone had to stay in the room, why could Kaji Ji come to her alone?
She tilted her head and listened attentively, Calyx Ji was surprisingly quiet, she didn't speak again after knocking on the door.
Ge Jin coughed: "I'm not feeling well, I've rested, Sister Calyx, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Calyx Ji lowered her voice: "Ge Jin, I came to you quietly. Lord Xu has sent someone to see you, and that person is right next to me. If you don't believe me, just open the door and take a look."
Ge Jin's heart moved. After she was disfigured, she was placed under semi-house arrest. In order to deliver letters to the good-looking princes and grandsons, she had to spend a lot of time. Because of her privacy, no one in the building knew about her. Grandpa really sent someone here.
She said cautiously, "Didn't the master ask?"
Calyx Ji didn't say anything, but another man spoke up: "Miss Gejin, Lord Hou sent a villain to deliver some medicine for the lady, and the lady applied this medicine to the wound every day, it can regenerate muscles and relieve itching. Lord Hou He also said, please feel free to recuperate, no matter whether the person who harmed you is a ghost or a ghost, he will always find out."
Ge Jin's heart was pounding, and she hurried to open the door, her hands were on the door, and she suddenly shrank back. Lord Hou was considerate and thoughtful, and it was not surprising to send someone to deliver the medicine, but it was too late at this time.
The man noticed her hesitation, muttered a few words to Calyx Ji in a low voice, and then said again: "I think it's inconvenient for the lady to open the door, otherwise, the villain puts the things at the door, and the lady opens the door and picks it up by herself. "
Calyx Ji also said: "Ge Jin, let's go first, you have a good rest."
There were footsteps outside, and the two left.
Ge Jin stuck behind the door, and couldn't help but feel remorse, why was he suspicious like this, just opened the door just now, and when he saw the man's face, he could tell the Hou Ye.
Fortunately, the man hadn't gone far, and he might still be able to catch up. Thinking of this, she hurriedly opened the door, and when she saw the scene outside the door, she screamed in fright.
