Seeing that the sharp tip of the sword was getting closer and closer, Gu Yanran wanted to escape, and wanted to flee quickly.

But the fear of madness made her unable to control her body with her will, and she couldn't even do something as simple as moving her feet.

"Ah!!h Gu Yanran screamed and raised her hand to protect her body, and subconsciously closed her eyes.

Dead!

She's dead!

Unexpectedly, I didn't wait for the expected pain, but waited for the screeching sound of iron blades intersecting.

Well? What's the situation?

Gu Yanran tentatively opened one eye, and found that another man in black came to the scene at some point, and he fought with the man in black who was about to kill her.

“…… Nest anti? Gu Yanran could only think of such a possibility.

It's just that the ink-colored robe worn by the second man in black is somehow familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.

Just when Gu Yanran was puzzled, another man in black flew and landed in front of her.

“！！” Gu Yanran was shocked.

How's that coming?!

However, the third man in black, wearing the same style of robe as the second man in black, even turned around and showed her his back.

"Miss Gu is frightened, don't worry, we won't let you get hurt." The man in black opened his mouth to comfort Gu Yanran.

Gu Yanran was stunned. “……”

This person seems to want to protect her?

Why?

Wait, she seemed to remember where she had seen this black robe.

"You're from the Netherworld?" Gu Yanran asked the third man in black.

The third man in black didn't look back, but replied. "In the next night, it is Ye Xian who is fighting."

"Whew......" Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief and let down her guard. It turns out that this bamboo forest is also the surveillance range of the Netherworld. ”

Fortunately, these two people from the Netherworld Mansion came to the rescue in time, otherwise she would have to give an account of her life here today.

"It's over." Ye Yan took two steps to the side, no longer protecting Gu Yanran.

Only then did Gu Yanran see the situation not far away, Ye Xian had already subdued the man in black.

Ye Xian raised the sword horizontally around the neck of the man in black and asked. "Say, Who is the messenger of the Lord?"

"......" The man in black was silent, with an expression of death on his face.

Seeing this, Ye Xian no longer questioned the man in black, but just raised his eyes to look at Ye Yan. "Ye Yan, you escort Miss Gu back to the house first."

"Okay." Night inkstone head.

Ye Yan sent Gu Yanran back to the back door of Yingyue Mansion safely.

"The night inkstone will send you here." Ye Yan hugged Gu Yanran and said.

Gu Yanran stood still and did not move, her expression was solemn. "That man just ......"

"That person will be locked up in the Netherworld Secret Prison for the time being, and when the mastermind behind the scenes is interrogated, the Netherworld will send someone to inform you."

……

……

After Gu Yanran returned home, she did not go back to her house, but took the bamboo basket containing the medicinal herbs and went straight to the medicinal herb room of the East Courtyard.

As soon as she entered the East Courtyard, Gu Yanran saw Zi Su and Ling Ji who were standing in the middle of the courtyard talking.

Zi Su was the first to notice Gu Yanran's appearance. "Miss Yan, you're back."

Ling Yan had her back to Gu Yanran, and when she heard Zisu's words, she immediately turned around and asked eagerly. "Miss Yan, have you found the medicinal herbs?"

"Found it." Gu Yanran raised the small bamboo basket in her hand. "However, the development process of the antidote is more cumbersome, and it is not something that can be done in a while, so you have to wait patiently for a few days."

"Yes." Ling Ji smiled gratefully.

Gu Yanran also smiled back, and then said to Zi Su and Ling Yuan. "Alright, I'm going to go into the house to develop an antidote, don't stand here, go about your own business."

"Hey, girl." Zi Su hurriedly stopped Gu Yanran. "It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, you've been busy all day long, and it's not too late to enter the medicine room after lunch."

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon?" Gu Yanran didn't expect time to pass so quickly, "That's it, you go and bring the food, and I'll eat it in the herb room." ”

Shiso bends his knees and blesses his body. "Yes, Miss Yan, please wait."

"Ah, yes, Shiso." Gu Yanran stopped Zisu. "In the next three days, I will focus on developing an antidote, and I will eat and live in the medicine room, and you will prepare the bedding and change of clothes for me."

"Slave and maid, let's go and prepare." After receiving the order, Shisu left the East Courtyard.

Gu Yanran saw Zi Su leaving, and was about to enter the medicinal herb room with a small bamboo basket.

"Miss Yan!" Ling Yan came behind Gu Yanran in a few steps. "I know a thing or two about pharmacology, girl, you have worked hard to develop an antidote, I wonder if you can let you help?"

Gu Yanran couldn't help but feel surprised. "Do you know how to heal?"

"I can't say that I know how to do medicine, I just know a little bit about pharmacology, it's no problem to grasp medicine, distinguish medicine or something, and it's ...... to treat diseases and save people" Ling Yuan was very self-aware and didn't continue.

"It's already great to be able to grasp and distinguish medicines, and I will definitely be able to help me in the future." Gu Yanran praised Ling Yuan. "But don't participate in the development of the antidote this time, I said, in the past few days when the poison on your body has not been resolved, you must pay attention to rest and do not work."

Ling Yuan felt Gu Yanran's concern and thoughtfulness, and her heart suddenly warmed. "You're so nice."

The sky is full of stars, and a crescent moon hangs far away.

Zi Su spread the prepared futon on the chaise longue that had just been moved from the medicinal herb room, and then looked at Gu Yanran, who was still tinkering with the medicinal herbs.

"Miss Yan, it's late at night, you're tired enough today, why don't you rest as soon as possible?"

"I'll fall asleep in a while." Gu Yanran continued to move on her hands. "You don't have to worry about me, go back to the house."

Zi Su guessed that Gu Yanran should be busy for a while, so he said. "Sitao has prepared a few pastries over there, as well as freshly brewed fruit tea, and the slave will bring you a little bit."

Gu Yanran happened to be a little hungry, but she didn't refuse. "Okay."

On the other side, the stove room.

Mu Sitao helped the perilla and several pastries into the plate separately, and then put them into the food box in turn.

On the top layer of the food box, there is a pot of fruit tea.

Shiso covered the top lid of the food box, but he was not in a hurry to leave, but told Mu Sitaodao. "Si Tao, Miss Yan will be tired these days, you remember to prepare some nourishing dishes for her, and try to make as many pastries as possible for later use."

"......" Mu Sitao nodded, indicating that she knew.

After Zisu left with the food box, Mu Sitao began to clean up the stove.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling outside the back window of the stove room.

"......" Mu Sitao was stunned, put down the rough handkerchief in his hand, pushed open the wooden door next to the back window and walked out.

As soon as she stepped out of the wooden door, she saw a black shadow leaning against the stone wall and about to stand up.

The black shadow didn't expect to be looked at, and froze in place for a while. “……”

"......" Mu Sitao stared at the black shadow twice, then turned around and walked back to the stove room as if blind, and closed the wooden door with his hand.

A dark shadow that is ignored. “……”
