Chapter 177: Choice
This secret was heard by some people in the clan, who used the blood of those women to refine pills and sell them for huge profits. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but do you know? The greed of human nature knows no bounds! Those young girls, because of this secret, were squeezed dry of blood by those people one after another and died. The patriarch at that time was furious and ordered the execution of those people and everyone who knew the secret, and the matter was put to rest. However, since that time, the probability of a woman being born has become very rare, and it has become scarce until now. During my years in office, two daughters were born, but one died in less than a month, and the other is now married. I don't want Zhi'er to become the next saintess, I don't want her to follow my old path, I just want her to live a dull life, like a normal person, marry, have children, and spend her life in peace. ”
Her voice became more and more low and hoarse, as if a big stone had been placed in her heart to make people suffocate in her chest, and it gently and slowly fell into Xiang Yan's ears, adding another layer to the already depressed look on her face before it had time to fade.
There are some things that are more comfortable than clear. "What about the other medicinal herbs for refining medicine? Wouldn't it be useful to add more? ”
Xiang Yan's eyes were shaking slightly at Shang Shuang Ningshi's gaze. She really didn't want to give up, she finally had a glimmer of hope, she really didn't want to give up like that.
I saw that Shuang Ningshi shook her head very slowly, "Since blood is a medicinal guide, it plays a vital role in it, those medicinal materials are only auxiliary, and that medicine, if refined, will have to be bloodlet for seven consecutive days, and the mixed medicinal materials must be added to it uninterruptedly." ”
A wry smile tugged at the corner of Frost Ningshi's mouth, and a deep mockery appeared in her eyes. At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed in the sky, reflecting the pavilion as bright as day, illuminating the hideous and narrow scars on her cuffs and wrists. She stood still, the shadow behind her stretched diagonally on the ground by the continuous lightning white light from the air.
She remembered the unbearable years in the dungeon at that time, at the mercy of others like a puppet every day, she still remembered those hideous and evil eyes, remembered a pair of powerful hands that grabbed her slender wrist tightly, and then a dagger glowing with cold light, cutting her wrist mercilessly. The bright red liquid rushed out, mixed with the heavy smell of rust that hit her nose.
"Besides, the medicinal materials used to refine that medicine are scarce. In the hundreds of years of the existence of the Wu Clan, almost all the places that could be found have been searched. Therefore, most of the medicinal materials in the prescription are basically nowhere to be found. ”
At this time, thunder was rolling in the sky, thick black clouds covered most of the day, and the gauze tents around the pavilion were violently lifted and thrown down by the wind. Xiang Yan could feel that the raindrops had been carried by the wind and hit her face, cold and huge. But this kind of rain can't compare to her cool heart.
"Lord, it's going to rain, let's go back!" Tuan Ori walked over to warn, then looked up at the sky again. The blackened clouds obscured all the moonlight, and the rainstorm was coming, so it was better for them to go back early.
"Well, good!" Frost Ningshi hung up the veil and got up, her plain white skirt fluttering wantonly in the wind, and even her hair was a little messy.
"Girl, I hope you will keep your previous agreement. Don't tell Zhi'er everything you say here tonight. Her slender eyebrows furrowed, waiting for Xiang Yan to answer.
"Well, I will."
"That's good!"
The two slender figures are getting farther and farther away, but Xiang Yan's heart is mixed.
Fate is so fond of playing tricks on people, one second it still makes you have hope, and the next second it will beat you to hell. How is she going to say it to His Highness?
Do you really want to tell Your Highness that the antidote to the poison in his body is Miss Miao Zhi's blood?
But what can you do?
His Royal Highness will never ignore Miss Miao Zhi's life and death, let alone the result that needs to be exchanged for Miss Miao Zhi's life.
Xiang Yan sat in the same place for a long time before getting up and leaving the pavilion. She walked unhurriedly, and the heavy rain at this time could not wash away the haze in her heart.
In the warm and quiet inner sanctum, the drunk Miaozhi slept very deeply on the bed, with a light smile on her red and tender face, and her breathing was long and even.
Xiang Yan pulled the silk quilt around Miaozhi's waist, and then turned to the screen to change the soaked clothes on her body. After looking around for a week, I didn't see the shadow of Ning'er's girl, so I guess I went to where to steal food or sleep lazy!
On the way back, she thought about it for a while, and felt that she should tell Yuan Hongxuan everything she heard tonight. Because after all, it is related to the life and death of Miao Zhi and him, and she, a subordinate, has no right to make decisions or conceal it.
Xiang Yan came to the table and wrote down everything she knew. The dim candle flame fluttered slightly, and only the sound of the wind whistling outside the window and the raindrops hitting the eaves, doors and windows could be heard.
The brush with the ink was put back on the pen rest, and the ink on the spread sheets of paper had not yet dried, and she was about to dry them one by one, when she heard the confused voice of Miao Zhi from the inner sanctum.
"I'm so thirsty, I'm so thirsty, Ning'er, give me water, I want to drink water."
The girl's murmuring voice floated one after another, and Xiang Yan raised her eyes to look around, and then walked quickly towards the inner hall.
Just as her figure had just disappeared behind the thick curtain, a man crept in.
She pulled off the dark cloak on her body, threw it on the chair she entered, kicked her two heels back and forth, and took off the embroidered shoes with mud on her feet, and came to the blue and white porcelain fish tank next to the desk, and carefully put the two live black-headed red-tailed goldfish in her hand into the fish tank.
"Hehe, after two hours of busy work, I finally got you guys." There was a proud look on her pretty and soft white face, her ruddy little mouth pursed, like a ghost, it wasn't Ning'er who had never seen anyone.
Coming to Yinan Palace for so many days not only made her waist thicker, but also fattened her courage a lot.
Ning Er narrowed her eyes, nodded with satisfaction, wiped her clothes neatly with her little hands, and turned around just about to call someone, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a few pages of written paper spread out on the table.
"Miss is practicing calligraphy today?" Ning Er's little head in two buns tilted, and she answered herself suspiciously.
"No, it won't! Didn't you see the young lady come back all afternoon? Did you practice it at night? ”
Ning Er leaned over curiously, "What did you write?" "Miss is really, in the past, when she practiced calligraphy, she always had to ask her to sharpen ink on the side, and teach her to read and write by the way, why did she take advantage of her absence to practice calligraphy today?
