Chapter 50: Suddenly snatching the medicine and taking it
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, his expression changed uncertainly, and finally he didn't even dare to touch Xue'er's gaze.
Xue'er saw the change in her expression, sighed lightly in her heart, and no longer waited for the two Zhuang Ding to lead the way, and drifted away alone.
The two Zhuang Ding were also stunned, looked at each other, saluted to Shan Tianying in unison, and hurriedly chased after them.
When Shan Tianying, who was in shock, came back to his senses, he only saw Xue'er's back gradually moving away. For a while, he couldn't tell what kind of emotion was in his heart, Shan Tianying stretched out his hand in vain to grab something, but in the end he hung down weakly.
If everything was really as he had just thought, then what had he done all the way from Jade City!
However, at the same time, I couldn't help but have doubts in my heart: If it was really Long Zhijun's bad intentions, then why didn't she refuse to tell her directly? Was there some kind of suffering, or did you never trust yourself all along?
In Shan Tianying's heart, there was self-blame for a while, but guilt was mixed with indescribable loneliness and sadness.
So even Lingxin, who suddenly appeared beside him, didn't notice it.
Lingxin sneaked out of the Hidden Garden when the emperor and Shan Zheng and Yang Jin didn't know what to discuss. Although she didn't know the road either, she knew that Xue'er had gone to the Hidden Garden, so she inquired about those Zhuang Ding along the way.
"Brother Shan, what happened between you and Xue'er, is there any misunderstanding?" Lingxin looked at Xue'er's distant back, and did not catch up, but stood beside Shan Tianying and asked with concern.
It's okay that she doesn't ask, but when she asks, the self-blame and guilt in Shan Tianying's heart are even worse, but it's hard to explain. After all, no matter what, if this matter really spreads, only Xue'er will really damage her reputation.
He sighed and shook his head slightly, and then came back to his senses and turned his head to see Lingxin: "Princess, you...... How did you end up here? ”
A flash of gloom flashed in Lingxin's eyes, but then she smiled again, and did not answer Shan Tianying's question: "I'll go find Xue'er." ”
She gestured to leave, then immediately turned around and asked, "Do you have anything to say to Cher?" ”
Shan Tianying was stunned, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a wry smile. He sighed softly: "Then you can say 'I'm sorry' to her on my behalf!" ”
After saying this, he didn't wait for Lingxin to answer, he turned around as if he had lost his soul, and walked towards the way he came.
Why did I feel calm and decisive, shrewd and wise since I saw this woman named "Xue'er", and I made all kinds of low-level mistakes again and again?
Shan Tianying smiled bitterly, he couldn't figure it out either.
And Lingxin once again inquired all the way to the secluded Frost Fast, and what she saw was Xue'er who was in the middle of five strange human skins, with an extremely dignified face.
Because Shan Zheng's arrangement is much more thoughtful than Shan Tianying's arrangement, Zhuang Ding, who led the way, has already brought Xue'er to Shan Tianying to find Sangong San last time, as well as some other rare medicinal materials. Even the set of silver needles that Fang Cai'er acupuncture for the emperor also brought over.
In addition, because there are two Zhuang Ding here, if there is any need in the middle of Xue'er, one of them can go to Zhang Luo, and the other can stay where he is and continue to listen to orders.
In this way, even if Zhuang Ding does not often pass by and patrol, it will not leave Xue'er alone in this secluded frost fast.
And Lingxin's arrival made this already small room even more crowded. It's just that she only stepped in with one foot, and then left with a scream, and then shrank back.
However, she refused to leave, and when Xue'er heard the sound and went out, Lingxin was leaning against the wall, her face was pale, covering her mouth with one hand, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn't spit it out.
The two Zhuang Ding stared at each other, and no one dared to step forward, let alone pat her on the back, not to mention that they didn't dare to touch even a finger.
Xue'er looked at her hands, it was these hands that were flipping the skins of those people just now, and I am afraid that they were also contaminated with a lot of aura on them. So she had no choice but to hold her hands, stand in front of Lingxin and ask with concern: "Lingxin, why are you here?" ”
Lingxin retched and said, "I'm afraid that you will be afraid of being alone and sneaking out to accompany you." ”
Xue'er was moved in her heart, and a trace of tears couldn't help but arise in her eyes, and Lingxin's image was a little blurred!
"Lingxin!"
Xue'er couldn't help but snort, but she didn't know what to say.
Lingxin gradually got used to it, so she stopped retching, raised her slightly pale face and said, "I'm fine, Xue'er, you go and get busy." I...... I'll go in later. ”
Since she said so, Xue'er is no longer reluctant, the two of them have been together for many years and understand each other, so even if they know that Lingxin is the princess, they don't have too much politeness.
Lingxin stood at the door and thought about it, endured and endured, and finally mustered up the courage to enter the room where the skins of the five Sangong Holy Women were stored.
Seeing Xue'er busy, she didn't dare to approach, but asked softly, "Xue'er, what did you say just now?" I see that Brother Shan is so sad. ”
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, raised her head, and glanced at Lingxin deeply, until the other party lowered her head weakly.
She laughed at herself, it seemed that she was too sensitive, even if Lingxin had her own careful thoughts, but her identity as a saint of Sangong had not changed until now, and she was consistent with herself in many things.
Thinking like this, Xue'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lingxin, you and I have been good sisters for many years, and I won't hide some things from you." ”
Xue'er simply recounted what happened outside Yucheng City at noon today, and Lingxin couldn't help but change her face when she heard it, and finally couldn't help but hate and say: "There are such shameless people in the world!" Clever words, reversing black and white, should let that person slash to death with one palm, why save him! Or I'll tell my father and kill him with a thousand knives! ”
Lingxin said as she looked at Xue'er's expression and asked tentatively: "But Xue'er, Brother Shan was deceived by that person and was innocent, why didn't you tell Brother Shan the truth directly?" That way, he won't intercede for that Long Zhijun. ”
Xue'er was playing with the peach-colored powder with a silver needle, and when she heard this, she paused, raised her head and looked at Lingxin: "It's not that I don't want to tell the young owner, it's just that in this way, isn't it in the arms of Long Zhijun?" ”
Lingxin was stunned and looked at Xue'er in confusion.
Xue'er sighed and said, "Lingxin, it has only been three days since I met the young owner, and that Long Zhijun has been with Shan Tianying for at least three and five years, right?" Three days of friendship, and three or five years of friendship, if it were you, which one would you believe? ”
Lingxin almost subconsciously blurted out that she wanted to answer: "Of course, the long relationship is more believable." However, when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but understand what Xue'er meant, but he still couldn't help but argue for Shan Tianying, but he obviously lacked confidence: "Brother Shan, he is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. ”
This sentence was very quiet, so small that Xue'er couldn't hear it without holding her breath, she paused for a moment, and glanced at Lingxin thoughtfully, so that Lingxin couldn't help but lower her head, and even that slightly round little face flew up with a red cloud.
Xue'er sighed: "Even if the young owner believes me, what can I do, what if something like that happens, as a woman, what is the best ending." You must know this well, right? ”
She pursed her lips and sneered: "And Long Zhijun's purpose has naturally been achieved!" ”
Lingxin was shocked: "You mean? ”
Xue'er's smile became more and more cold: "Long Zhijun kept saying that he was responsible, and said that he would marry me." You can guess what it is. ”
Lingxin's face turned from red to white, and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "This person is terrible!" ”
Xue'er sighed, letting Lingxin's expression change, but she fell silent again, continuing to focus on the pink powder in her hand.
After a while, he raised his head again, but he instructed a Zhuang Ding who was guarding the door, asking the other party to go and get some medicinal herbs.
The man left in response, so the frost fasting was quiet again, coupled with the strange and rich peach blossom core fragrance in the air, the wrinkled and hideous five human skins, the atmosphere was extremely strange for a while, and even the Zhuang Ding who stayed outside the door couldn't help but wipe a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know when.
Zhuang Ding, who left, came back not long after, and then Xue'er began to give various instructions, sometimes asking one of them to look for medicinal herbs, sometimes asking for a casserole for decocting medicine, and tools for grinding medicine.
She instructed her to keep his feet from touching the ground, and almost as soon as one returned, the other was assigned out, like a marquee.
Later, seeing that these two Zhuang Ding were really too busy, Lingxin, who had been silent, couldn't help but say: "Since you two are too busy, it is better to tell the owner of Shan Zheng Zhuang and ask him to send a few more people over." ”
This sentence was deep in the hearts of the two Zhuang Ding, and even Xue'er nodded, and said to a Zhuang Ding who was about to leave: "In this case, then go and tell Uncle Shan." ”
So, the frost fasting, which has always been secluded and lonely, suddenly came out of several more people, some ran errands to look for medicinal herbs, some stayed in place and waited for Xue'er's orders, and the rest were instructed by Xue'er to deal with all kinds of medicinal materials.
It's just that there are many people who stop fasting, and Lingxin, the princess who sneaked out, naturally can't hide her traces. When the sky was dark, the Qiuru Qiuping sisters finally appeared in front of the gate of the frost fast.
Lingxin naturally refused to go back, wanting to wait for Xue'er's final result. However, because Qiuru Qiuping had not brought Lingxin back for a long time, when she was rising, Yang Jin accompanied the emperor and appeared in front of the door of the frost fast.
After that, Shan Tianying and Shan Zheng walked in with an old man who couldn't see their age.
He was hunched up, and he looked about as tall as Lingxin, and his hair was as thin as dry grass in winter, but it was still black and white. A face is blue and yellow, a hooked nose is colorful, a pair of small eyes are sharp and vicious, and the thin lips seem to be unable to cover the two rows of large teeth inside.
However, it was such an old man who was not a person and a ghost, but the father and son on both sides were very respectful, and they didn't even dare to stand up when they spoke.
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on this suddenly unidentified old man, Ling Xin suddenly rushed towards the table where Xue'er was, with a small pinch of gray-white powder.
Next to the gray-white powder, there was a pile of black-brown powder, which was emitting a bitter taste.
Lingxin's purpose was the pinch of black-brown medicine, she rushed over in two steps, grabbed it and stuffed it into her mouth!
