Chapter 020: Moonlit Night Terror

For Mingyue, Zhilan couldn't bear it anymore. If you don't get rid of this trouble, your little seedling can't expect to thrive.

That night, Zhilan stayed awake all night.

This must be done now, or it will be too late. Just, how? Follow Mrs. Lin every day, pay attention to her diet and daily life, and don't let them take advantage of it? It's too passive. Then strike first and kill that Mingyue to get rid of future troubles? It's too risky, after all, she's still a royal princess. What's more, the legal education she received in her previous life for 20 years was already deeply ingrained in her, and she didn't even dare to think about killing people.

So what to do? Zhilan was so anxious that she couldn't fall asleep. Shen'er outside heard the movement on Zhilan's bed, and hurriedly came in to check, and saw that Miss's eyes were wide open and she didn't feel sleepy, so she asked, "Miss can't sleep?" Why don't you order some requiem incense, you can help you sleep. ”

Hearing the words "sleep aid", Zhilan felt like she had been pricked by a needle, and suddenly remembered a new medicine she had recently made. The medicine was made by mixing an herb called "Half Moon Drunk" with a sleeping pill she had made earlier. "Half moon drunk" is a kind of poison, which will make people drowsy for half a month after taking it, and the language of action is reversed, like drunkenness. And this half-moon drunk and sleeping pills are mixed, but it will make people sleep for half a month without waking up, and after waking up, they will permanently lose their memory. Knowing that after taking this medicine, she will never be able to recall the past, and she also calls it "reminiscence", which is really the most poisonous woman's heart.

Now that I think about it, this "reminiscence" is very suitable for Mingyue. It didn't hurt her life, but it allowed her to live in peace. The most important thing is that this medicine cannot be detected as poisonous, and the royal family has nothing to say.

Without doing anything, Zhilan decided to act tonight. So she pretended to yawn a lot, and said lazily to Shen'er: "No need, I'm very sleepy now, you go to sleep." Seeing this, Shen'er withdrew from the room with confidence.

Zhilan listened with her ears for a while, and was sure that Shen'er had slept peacefully, so she quietly got up, tiptoed open the door and walked into the small courtyard.

It was late at night, and in the orchid garden, quietly, under the soft white moonlight, I saw a small figure quietly walking towards the flower garden in the small courtyard. There are also medicinal herbs planted here, and in a small corner of the flower garden, a jar is buried, which is the various medicinal powders that Zhilan makes on weekdays. She looked around and made sure that there was no one, so she found the medicine bottle containing "Remembrance" from the jar, and then resealed the jar and buried it in the ground.

I got the medicine, but how to let Mingyue eat it alone? It's hard to keep it in your meal that no one else will eat it. Zhilan began to have a hard time, pacing around the yard without an idea. Suddenly, she patted her head and remembered that a few months ago she had drawn a picture of a needle for fun, and her brother had made one with ceramic and steel needles, but it had never worked. This is where it comes in handy.

"Squeak-", although Zhilan was already very careful, the door panel still made a little noise. She froze nervously until no one woke up, so she breathed a sigh of relief and crept into the house. With a little moonlight outside the window, I finally found the needle. Seeing that there was still a glass of white water on the table, Zhilan poured some water into the bottle full of medicinal powder and shook it gently. When the powder has melted, he takes a needle and sucks a full tube of potion. Holding the needle carefully, Zhilan tiptoed out again and gently closed the door. When she left the Orchid Garden, she didn't see the cloak pendant quietly following her.

Fortunately, she didn't get lost at the critical moment, and Zhilan arrived at Meiyuan smoothly. When she was about to enter the hospital, Zhilan vaguely felt that someone seemed to be passing by. I looked closely, and there was no one, only a full moon shining on the laurel trees in the courtyard and swaying gently in the night breeze. Although she was a little scared, for the safety of her family and her own happiness, Zhilan decided to let it go.

When she arrived at the door of Mingyue, she regretted it a little, if this door was locked, wouldn't she come in vain? So she tentatively pushed the door, but it was unlocked. Zhilan cautiously pushed the door into the house, only to see Mingyue's bed tent down, covered densely, and she couldn't see inside. Zhilan held her breath and walked slowly towards the bed tent. Gently lifting the curtain, she saw Mingyue sleeping.

Such a close distance made Zhilan a little scared, once Mingyue woke up, she couldn't run away. Holding back Yu Wang, who wanted to pull out her feet and escape, Zhilan held the needle and aimed at Mingyue's arm exposed outside the quilt, and pierced it quickly and accurately. The sudden pain made Mingyue wake up all of a sudden, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhilan with a panicked face.

Seeing that Mingyue's eyes opened, Zhilan trembled in fright, and with a lot of effort in her hand, she actually pushed all the potions in. Mingyue was about to open her mouth to scream, but suddenly the whites of her eyes turned her head and closed her eyes again.

Don't push the medicine too fast and kill people! Zhilan put her finger on Mingyue's neck and probed it with some fear. "Whew-", Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, my pulse was beating normally, and I just fell asleep.

After wiping the little blood stains on Mingyue's arm due to needle with her sleeve, and after making sure that everything was in order, Zhilan closed the door and planned to leave Meiyuan.

The moonlight enveloped her, stretching her small figure long. Just as Zhilan was about to step out of the moon gate, she clearly saw a figure from the ground that flashed very quickly and disappeared. Zhilan's blood froze in place as if it had been frozen. The courtyard was eerily quiet, except for the night breeze whistling in my ears. She didn't dare to turn back, so she pulled up her feet and left the plum garden as if fleeing for her life.

Halfway through, she heard footsteps, and Zhilan hurriedly hid behind the flowers on the side. I saw a person walking slowly with a lantern, and the faint light illuminated his face. Zhilan's hanging heart was relieved at this time, it turned out that Changgui was patrolling the night. After he walked by, Zhilan went all the way back to Orchid Garden.

Pushing open the door, Shen'er was still asleep, and Zhilan went back to the room lightly and climbed into her bed.

Lying on the bed, stroking her pounding heart, Zhilan was still recalling the tense situation just now. Everything went well tonight, it's just ...... Who is that figure? Zhilan was a little surprised. Thinking about it and having no clue, she immediately comforted herself that maybe she was too nervous to see dazzling, maybe it was just a big bird. In this era, man and nature are still in harmony, and there are more birds in the sky and beasts on the earth. Thinking of this, Zhilan felt a little relieved. She was exhausted by all this experience tonight, and soon she fell asleep.
