Chapter 100: Poisoning (I)
"Perhaps, she won't wake up?" Xu Lan looked at Dong Yeque uneasily, this is already the seventh day, and the person on the bed has no signs of waking up at all, "Her breath is getting weaker and weaker, as if she no longer exists in this world." ”
"No, wait, when she was in the north, she slept longer than seven days, and finally woke up. ”
Higashino Que shook his head, still looking at him motionlessly.
Wait.
Wait.
Ye Zi was about to deliver them food, when an arrow was tied to a note, which shot straight at the pillar in front of her, and she tore off the note at the handle of the arrow, with a very familiar handwriting on it:
"If there's an emergency, see you at the old place"
Ye Zi didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly called two subordinates, handed them the lunch box in his hand, and hurriedly ran out of the house with a few careful words.
When she ran to the edge of Xianghu Lake, the thatched hut that was originally connected was gone, and there was no one around, and the silence was terrible.
"Master?"
She screamed timidly.
No one answered.
"Master, is that you?"
Still no one answered, and she couldn't help but be afraid, could it be that it wasn't the master's order to her, who would it be.
Obviously, this joint point has always been known only to her and her master, and no one else.
"I called you. ”
A gentle female voice came from behind her, Ye Zi turned around suddenly, and found that there was a stunning woman behind her out of thin air, her clothes were better than snow, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, delicate and white as clotted fat, and if there was a faint brilliance all over her body, the fairies in people's mouths were probably nothing more than that.
Ye Zi glanced at his withered hands, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Your name is Ye Zi, right?"
Ye Zimu nodded.
"I will be your new master, you can call me Chida, it's nice to meet you. Qiantian stretched out his hand very politely, and Ye Zi looked at the delicate hands and lowered his head a little embarrassed.
"It's okay," Chida Keiko didn't feel embarrassed, she withdrew her hand, "It was Cangtian who contacted you before, there may be some tasks that he unilaterally assigned to you, without my consent, I came to you today just to confirm your final task with you." ”
"My previous master, General Cangtian, said that as long as I can kill the woman next to Higashinoque, even if I complete the mission, he promised that I would give me gold and silver tickets to ensure that I would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. ”
Chida Keiko nodded, it seems that Cangtian has indeed never had two hearts, she can rest assured.
"The last time Lan Yuan failed to poison it, it was indeed my responsibility, I didn't expect that person's blood to be the antidote, General Cangtian didn't blame me, but I knew that it was my fault, I was too careless. Ye Zi still said to herself, her tone was indescribably firm, "Please give me another chance, I will definitely complete the task successfully." ”
"It's okay, it's not your fault, I appreciate the bitter trick you played, and I'm even more sure that you are a malleable talent, so I will teach you personally in the future. ”
"Thank you Chida......"
"By the way, how is it now?"
In the past few days, she has not been able to find out any news about Yihe at all, as if she has been sealed, but her cold poison has invaded her inner organs, even if she takes away the poisonous Gu, she shouldn't be able to live for long, right?
Ye Zi shook her head, she couldn't enter Yihe's room at all, "I don't know, Dongye Que has been guarding her bedside, and that Xu Lanxin is also inseparable, but I saw that Xu Lanxin had a wound on her hand when they were eating, as if she had been let go, so I guessed that Dongye Que might want to use Xu Lanxin's blood to save Hehe, but I can't know the specific situation very clearly." ”
Qiantian narrowed his eyes, it turned out that the person who was so well protected by him was Xu Lanxin, the daughter of the Medicine King. "You find an opportunity to pour this pill on her. As she spoke, she took out a small pocket bottle from her sleeve, which contained a light blue liquid, "This medicine can aggravate the cold of the cold, maybe she will die directly after eating it, and your task will be completed in advance." ”
"But...... I didn't have a chance to touch him alone, and if I did, Higashino would soon find out that I had done it, and he would never let me go. ”
"Don't you still have a Xu Lanxin? You can blame her for this, you think, she doesn't know Yihe, so she stays by Yihe's side just for Dongye Que. Chida Keiko sneered, after living for hundreds of years, Higashino Que is still charming, and she can easily capture the hearts of so many women, which makes her very uncomfortable.
"I have long seen that this Xu Lanxin is not a good thing, and she deliberately got drunk and pestered Dong Ye Que before, and she had to carry her back to the room. Ye Zi said angrily, completely unaware that his face that was flushed because of anger was seen by Qiantian.
"Otherwise, I'll give you one more task, and the bounty will be doubled after the deed is completed. ”
"What task?" Ye Zi was shocked when she heard that the bounty had been doubled, and she suddenly became curious, a woman like her who loves money like her can't stop her from pursuing money.
"After you kill Yihe, then kill Dongye Que, push all this to Xu Lanxin, and make her a sinner in Orchid Garden, I can see that you hate her very much, then I will help you." ”
"No, I can't. Ye Zi didn't even want to blurt out, and then realized that something was wrong, and quickly covered his mouth.
"Why?" Chida approached her step by step, "Could it be that you are also in love with Higashino Que?"
A layer of fine sweat appeared on Ye Zi's forehead, and her voice trembled slightly, "I didn't." ”
"It's best if you don't, he's not something that a layman like you can afford. After Chida finished speaking, he stuffed the medicine bottle into her hand, "I'll only give you five days, if you can't complete this task, you know the consequences." ”
"Yes. ”
When she looked up again, Chida Keiko was gone, but the bottle that suddenly appeared in her hand told her that all this was not a dream.
She clutched the bottle tightly and went back to the orchid garden, everyone was concerned about the life and death of Yihe, no one noticed Ye Zi's departure, and she came in smoothly all the way.
She went back to the house, stared blankly at the bottle of medicine in her hand, and muttered to herself, "I'm sorry, I'm just trying to live well." ”
She didn't want to, but she really didn't have a choice, it was a beautiful word to come as promised, but the hard work of waiting never lived up to it.
From the time she was arranged to sell vegetables on the side of the road, her life was no longer her own.
She knew that her purpose was very pure, that is, to take the life of the peace, so she didn't dare to be greedy for anything else, she just wanted to solve it quickly.
But she didn't succeed, she stayed by Dongye Que's side, took care of Yihe together, and later stayed by Yihe's side, taking care of the orchid garden together, it really took a long, long time, so long that she almost forgot her identity and forgot the purpose of her trip.
They treated her as a clean person, with no dark intentions, no hidden behavior, and sincere and loyal to them.
"Ye Zi, are you there, Ye Zi, open the door!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which was quick and powerful, she quickly stuffed the medicine bottle into the jewelry box, got up and opened the door.
Outside the door was Xu Lanxin, who looked panicked, "Oh no, you come with me to the room of Yuhe, something happened." ”
