Chapter Forty-Eight: The Lady Becomes a Maid

Erniang raised her head, raised her somewhat thick black eyebrows, and said with a bright smile.

She carefully examined the basin and found that there was no more black silk, so she carefully filled the contents of the spoon like a hair into the small bottle she had just opened, and then quickly closed the lid and tightened it.

"Erniang, what kind of poison is this? How do you feel like a bug? ”

Hongling sat up straight and asked like a curious baby.

"Well, it seems to be poisonous but not poisonous, like an insect but not an insect, to be exact, this is the sap of a plant that can only survive in the southernmost forest of the Southern Dynasty. This plant is called Broken Intestine Grass, and it is not poisonous originally, but once it is contaminated with the saliva of the seven-step snake that also lives nearby, then it will become twice as poisonous as the seven-step snake, or even more. ”

"That's amazing? Seven-step snake? Is it the meaning that if you are bitten by it and walk seven steps, you will die? ”

Hongling was a little shocked, but also very glad that Yundie did not die in this way, it can really be described as a great blessing!

"And," Erniang continued, "it will be mistaken for a worm by many people who are not very proficient in poison arts, and may also think it is a Gu, so I said that it looks like a worm but not a worm." ”

"I see!"

Hongling nodded suddenly, her beautiful eyes flashed with fine light, and she looked like a child who had picked up a baby, she decided that she would follow Erniang to find some poison scriptures if she had nothing to do in the future, she wanted to be a poisonous girl, hehe.

"But what kind of person could get this poison? You must know that the Broken Intestine Grass is only available on the top of the Feng Clan's Shenfeng Mountain, and the seven-step snake is the same, could it be that this person is from Shenfeng Mountain? ”

Erniang frowned and whispered to herself.

Shenfeng Mountain, located in the deepest part of the southernmost Feng forest in the Southern Dynasty, is said to be the cultivation retreat of the Feng saintess. However, after the Feng Clan was burned by an inexplicable heavenly fire many years ago, the Holy Maiden and the Patriarch all disappeared, leaving only some ordinary Feng Clan people who went out to run errands and escaped.

The Feng clan that no one led was a plate of scattered sand, and the few remaining Feng clan people moved away one after another, and scattered incognito all over the place, and since then, no one has mentioned it again, and there was once a mysterious race that lived in a corner and dared to compete with the power of a country.

"Shenfeng Mountain?"

Hongling was startled, her heart sank suddenly, she remembered what her senior sister said, and asked her to beware of the people who got rid of the Shenfeng Mountain she knew, but is there anyone else in Shenfeng Mountain?

As far as she knew, Shenfeng Mountain was already bare and rocky, and the senior sister said that after that fire, there was no grass on Shenfeng Mountain, and there were no more birds and animals.

She was a little confused.

If what Erniang said is true, then how did this gut-breaking grass and the poison of the seven-step snake come about?

"I can't say for sure yet, but it's eight or nine times out of ten."

Erniang pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's also possible that the poison that was stored before." ”

"Poison from before?"

That should be an old man of their generation with Senior Sister and Master, right? Hongling thought to herself.

"Xiao Hongling, do you want to send a message to your senior sister?"

Erniang put away her box, looked at Hongling seriously and said.

"Oh, Erniang, why do you always add a small word in front of the word Hongling? Everyone is almost twenty, okay? ”

"What about twenty? Aren't you a junior in front of the old body? How? Do you want me to call you Mrs. Hongling or Mrs. Hongling? ”

Erniang raised her eyebrows.

"Well, don't, Xiao Hongling is Xiao Hongling, I'll send a letter to my senior sister, Erniang, you still have a good rest with your babies, tsk, aren't you afraid that they will crawl into your bed in the middle of the night?"

Hongling pouted and made a grimace, and quickly flashed out of the door after speaking, in case she angered this old woman and poisoned her food with worms or something, could she not be disgusted to death?

Prince's Mansion

In the closed study, the ghostly light flickered, the air pressure in the room was extremely low, and Lan Xing, who was dressed in brocade, stood in the middle of the study with his hands behind his back, with a gloomy handsome face, frowning and not glancing.

Dressed in black, he knelt in front of Lan Xing with his head down, feeling the biting chill coming from his master's body, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, and he didn't dare to move.

The air seemed to be still, and cold sweat began to flow down his forehead, and he didn't dare to ask if the master didn't speak for a long time.

"You mean to say that the woman was hit by an arrow? Estimate... Already... He's dead? ”

After a long time, Lan Xing finally spoke leisurely, with a hint of imperceptible tremor in his seemingly calm voice.

He was afraid, afraid of what?

Nobody knows.

Darkness nodded, but didn't speak, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he didn't dare to say it.

He feared that his master would be angry.

"What about the person who killed her? Did you find it? ”

Blue Star's voice was even colder, and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a lot.

"I found it, but by the time my subordinates found him, he was already dead."

Dark One pinched a cold sweat for himself in his heart and said.

At that time, he followed behind the black-clothed masked man and found that the man didn't know martial arts at all, just an ordinary person.

What made Dark One even more confused was that that person was Yun Die's brother, Yun Fugui.

He followed behind Yun Fugui, and just when he wanted to catch him, Yun Fugui turned his head and saw him, and then showed a weird smile and committed suicide by taking poison, which caught Dark One off guard. He looked at Yun Fugui's body, pulled it clean, and found nothing except a delicately crafted crossbow arrow in his hand.

"Where are the people?"

Lanxing asked with a frown.

"My subordinates put him in the ice cellar."

Dark One replied with his head down.

"Let's go down, find a way to go to the inn of no return to find out, whether that woman is dead or not, if she is not dead, pass the news to her."

Lan Xing turned around and said after a long silence.

"If it's already ......"

"Impossible! When pigs fly! ”

Darkness opened his mouth weakly, but was interrupted by Lan Xing's irritability, and when Dark looked up, he saw that Lan Xing's deep eyes were full of anger, and he was staring at himself through gritted teeth, his hands clenched into fists, as if he was about to fall on him in the next second.

He was so frightened that he quickly buried his head on the ground, "My subordinates are guilty!" ”

"Go ahead, as soon as possible!"

Bluestar waved his hand, then walked slowly to the bookcase and sat down, staring at a painting on the desk.

On the rice paper on the case, there is a picture of a beauty that is only halfway drawn, only the general outline of the face, and even the facial features have not been drawn.

Outside the door of the study, Dark One quietly wiped a handful of sweat, and then glared at Dark Er in the dark unhappily, turned around, and disappeared in place.

No Return Inn

In the antique room, burning with a faint smell of incense, on the carved bed surrounded by a white embroidered bed curtain, Yun Die lay weakly with her eyes closed, and there was a circle of black green on her eyelids, like a game fan who had stayed up all night.

"Luoli? Luo... Glass? ”

A weak voice sounded from the bed, Yun Die finally woke up, she really didn't want to turn over because of the pain all over her body, she hadn't slowed down to find out what was wrong with her.

"Ah, Miss, Miss Yun is awake."

A sweet voice sounded, it was Luo Mi, she was walking in from outside the door with a bowl of medicine, and when she heard Yun Die's voice, she quickly turned around and shouted loudly.

"You finally woke up, do you know how worried my young lady is? Tell me who you offended and wanted to poison you, tsk, I said that you are very troublesome, and Miss still doesn't believe it......"

Luo Mi walked to the bed with the medicine bowl, chattering, and then sat on the edge of the bed to help Yundie up.

"You... What are you doing here? Luo... What about glass? ”

Yun Die licked her extremely dry lips, propped her hand on the edge of the bed, and sat up with difficulty on Luo Mi's shoulder, asking intermittently.

"Humph! Besides, I'll make medicine for you outside! My young lady is also a beautiful girl, and there are people around to serve her, but when you get here, you have actually fallen to the point of boiling medicine for others, really... Let me say what? ”

Although Luo Mi carefully supported Yun Die, she never wanted to spare her, how lazy her young lady was, where had she ever done such rough work in Night Sword Villa? It should be said that there is no need for her to do this, and at the inn of no return, when she came just now, she actually saw the young lady washing clothes for Yundie!

Laundry!

Hehe, she is Ye Luoli's maid, but Ye Luoli ran away to be someone else's maid!

If the owner and the owner's wife know about this, I am afraid that they will be angry to death.

Therefore, she took over Ye Luoli's work, and just finished washing Yun Die's clothes, and saw that Miss was boiling medicine.

Luo Mi wanted to help Yun Die boil the medicine herself, but Ye Luoli didn't allow it, so she only let her come in with the medicine and wait for Miss Yun to drink it.

"Poof~~~~"

Hearing Luo Mi's chattering and complaining, Yun Die's pale face couldn't help but show a smile, Fallen?

That's a good word, can she say that she has crossed over and fallen?

"What are you laughing at? Are you okay? You can still laugh! ”

Luo Mi glared at Yun Die angrily, handed the medicine bowl to Yun Die, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Yun, please drink the medicine!" ”

"Thank you, Mi!"

Yun Die said heartily with a smile, then took the medicine bowl from Luo Mi's hand and took a big sip, "Wow! It's bitter! ”

She frowned and swallowed hard against the bitter taste, her face and nose wrinkled together, and she looked at Luo Mi pitifully,

"Little Mi, can I... Don't drink it? ”

"No! If you don't drink sick, you won't get better for a long time! ”

"If it won't be good for a long time, Miss will always be here to serve you, and I, too, have to serve you and Miss here!"

Yun Die retorted with a flat mouth, "Where to serve is not to serve?" ”

Luo Mi categorically refused, "Here, you have to do everything yourself, in Night Sword Villa, I am only responsible for serving the young lady, I don't need to do laundry and cooking, can it be the same?" ”

Yundie was silent for a while, the rich man's family is good!

Ye Luoli is the rich second generation of this era, right? Wow, she is also a traverser, why is she so miserable?

No one could understand the bitterness in her heart, Yun Die picked up the bowl again, held her breath and drank the rest of the medicine in the bowl in one go. She shoved the bowl into Luo Mi's hand and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Now, it's all okay, right?" You go out and help Luo Li, I want to sleep first. ”

After saying that, regardless of Luo Mi's displeased round face, she burrowed into the quilt and covered her head with the quilt, she had to think about why she was so ill-fated.

In the blink of an eye, the lights are on, the streets of the imperial capital are lively, and on Huangquan Road, it looks a little gloomy, under the shadow of the shadowy low-rise buildings, except for the occasional hungry and can't sleep called Huazi, you can't see a normal person at all... Oh no, I don't think I can see a person with a normal profession, except for Hanako, there are only beggars and wanderers.

The inn of no return, standing at the end of Huangquan Road, may be the reason why there is no business at all, and it is pitch black everywhere.
