Prequel: Chapter 14: Lin Cheng's Confusion

At this time, outside the Imperial City.

A carriage stopped not far from a mansion, and the people in the carriage took another picture with a gold plate pattern silk cloud mirror, and after carefully examining their faces, they felt that there was nothing wrong before getting out of the car.

The man was adorned with a blue square hat, a short brown coat made of coarse linen, and a sallow, slightly blackened face.

She took a wooden bamboo box and put it next to the carriage, walked to the door with the two big characters of the Yun family written on the plaque, stood still, and knocked on the door.

"Who—" The gray-clad servant opened the door and looked out.

"The villain was ordered by King Nuo'an to bring some light gifts to Doctor Lin, and the trouble was passed on."

"My master went out early." The servant's words showed his refusal.

"But ......"

The servant was impatient and wanted to close the door.

"Wait—"

A pair of hands stopped the servant from closing the door and pulled it back open.

"The girl has been waiting for a long time, and the servants are not sensible, please bear with me." The melon-faced almond-eyed maid nodded to the servant and made a "please" gesture.

"But the master—"

"If you talk too much, it's hard to offend the girl, if anything happens, my girl will take care of it, and I can't blame you, do your own thing."

"Yes, yes—" The servant nodded hurriedly, and said vigorously, "Sister Cuckoo said yes." ”

The cuckoo ignored him, and only thought about completing the task given to him by the girl, and bringing the servant to the girl's boudoir.

"Did Your Highness send you alone?" The cuckoo probe looked behind her, saw that there was only one carriage, and no one came down, so he asked.

"Yes, the slave maid was ordered by His Highness to bring some things to the divine doctor and the girl." After speaking, he checked the bamboo box in his hand.

"What is this?" The cuckoo raised her eyebrows, her master never accepted generous gifts from the powerful, and she believed that King No'an should have entrusted him not to commit such a taboo.

"Look, it's Baiwei Zhai's wonton, give it a taste to the doctor and the girl."

The servant looked at his face and opened the bamboo box, the thin filling of the wonton inside was tender, with a thin layer of chopped green onions, just looking at it, he felt sweet and delicious.

"Let's get in!" Cuckoo forced himself to turn around and said coldly.

The servant smiled and pushed the door open.

I saw a young girl in a long shirt with her back to her, gently combing her hair with a comb, and when she heard the sound of pushing the door, she turned her head.

The smart and beautiful eyes are embedded in the white porcelain-like little face, the rosy lips are lightly pursed, only a pearl and jade hairpin is inserted on the head, and the golden phoenix on the forehead seems to be dancing, and the whole person looks noble and gorgeous but does not lose the innocence and loveliness of this age.

She knew very well that the last time she saw this fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, she was still wearing a golden mask, but she didn't expect that she would be like this.

"Miss Lin, this is what King Nuo'an ordered the villain to bring." After speaking, the bamboo box was uncovered again.

"Not bad," Miss Lin clapped her hands, saw the wonton, and ignored the outsiders, took the spoon in the basket, and feasted on it herself, and when she finished eating, she wiped her mouth, and then noticed that the servant was standing aside and watching all this silently.

"King Noan is good," she said, turning her head to look at the servant's face with a smile, "you say, yes." ”

"Yes, yes." The servant buried his head deeper and replied.

"This Noan King is first-class when he makes people happy, knowing that I love good food. It's just that it's also annoying. Miss Lin frowned as she said this, and looked at the servant with disgust.

The servants were at a loss.

"King Nuo'an, this is not interesting, you see that I took off my mask today and talked to you seriously, but you still have this thin mask, it is really insincere." Miss Lin pouted, she had already seen that the servant in front of her was King Nuo'an himself.

"This-" Gan Xinyi knew that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he reluctantly took off his mask.

"I wonder what King Noan is looking for me this time?"

"You know."

"It's really interesting, I helped you last time but took pity on you, this time-" Miss Lin sneered halfway through her words, what does the battle for imperial power in the Star Kingdom matter to her, she has managed enough to ruin the princess's face last time for her idea, and now ...... Hehe.

Gan Xinyi has long been dissatisfied with her sister for a long time, even her own biological father spoils her, it is simply unreasonable, she has long wanted to kill Gan Shunhua's sharp spirit, the last time she visited the famous Lin Shen Doctor, she actually met this little girl, she told her tragic experience, she won a lot of sympathy, she designed to disfigure Gan Shunhua, so that the mother began to dislike her, and gradually saw her shortcomings, she was so happy, she couldn't sleep, she had greater ambitions, which she dared to do before, but she believed, If the girl in front of her helps her, she will definitely be able to pull Gan Shunhua down from the position of the princess, replace her, and let her taste the suffering she has suffered.

"You can do whatever you want, please, I'll beat her." Gan Xinyi could bend and stretch, and without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed to Miss Lin, his voice full of pain and begging.

"Even if it's half of the country?" She knew that Gan Xinyi's ambition was to be the empress of the Star Kingdom, and she was just covering up her dissatisfaction with the princess, but that didn't mean she didn't know.

"Yes, if you can help me achieve great things." Gan Xinyi did not hesitate and responded.

Miss Lin slandered in her heart, she didn't believe this nonsense, and when she really sat in that position, was she really willing to let it?

"I'm just joking, I'm not interested in that."

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "King Nuo'an came to me so soon, did he find someone?" She said this for a reason, she was separated from her brother, and she had been looking for a while, but to no avail, to help Gan Xinyi in addition to sympathizing with her, she also hoped to use her power to find her brother.

"This-" Gan Xinyi did ask someone to find it, but with just one portrait, not to mention the world, it is the Star Kingdom, and it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Humph!" As soon as Miss Lin looked at her appearance, she knew that no one was looking.

"Miss Lin, don't be annoyed," Gan Xinyi cautiously said, "Give me a while longer." ”

"Alright, alright." Miss Lin was very irritable, she waved her hand: "Don't call me Miss Lin, it's better to call me by my name." My name is Lin Cheng. ”

"Yes."

"What the hell is going on here?"

"This time, the princess will investigate the case with the Spirit King instead of me, and I would like to ask you to accompany me on a trip so that she can make a gesture of wiping her neck this time—" She made a motion to wipe her neck.

"You asked me to accompany you to the Spirit King's Mansion?" Lin Cheng thought it was really funny.

"I've inquired, Lingshi went back to Yeshan this time, and he won't come back for the time being." Gan Xinyi knew that Doctor Lin had an old-fashioned temperament, and he didn't let her only apprentice, Lin Cheng, participate in the royal affairs. Therefore, today, she must take this opportunity to convince Lin Cheng, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future.

"No, no." Lin Cheng didn't want to disobey his master's orders, but he was also keen to take risks, as long as there was a good reward.

"If the girl is not interested in any of this, what about the treasures?"

"Is it a jewel bigger than this pearl of the night the size of a pigeon's egg?" Lin Cheng suddenly took out a white bead, and they all knew that this was what Gan Xinyi had put in the wonton. It's just that she also likes it, and she hides it secretly, and now that she thinks about it, it doesn't mean much, and it's not like she hasn't seen the Night Pearl.

"The daughter of the Spirit King is the next person to inherit the title of His Majesty. And his son Ning Nuoye, His Majesty pointed it out to me and asked him to be my husband," she paused and continued: "I used to be curious about him, I went to see him, in addition to his beauty, he has a lot of strange things in his hands. ”

"What strange thing I haven't seen before?" Lin Cheng was slightly mocking.

"I can't tell, but I'll show you, I think you'll be interested." After speaking, Gan Xinyi picked up the brush on the table and drew lightly on the rice paper, her painting skills were not good, but Lin Cheng saw it clearly.

"This-" Lin Cheng's heart was indescribably complicated, what Gan Xinyi drew was clearly a syringe in the twenty-first century. And this kind of thing, she thought, except for herself and her brother, there should be no second person who has this kind of thing.

"How?" Gan Xinyi was nervous in her heart, she just guessed that talented people generally like this kind of novelty, and she was gambling, because this was the last hole card she came to ask for today.

"I'll go," Lin Cheng took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up her mind, she finally had a clue from her brother, and she didn't want to let go: "After the matter is done, that thing-" She said halfway, waiting for Gan Xinyi to agree.

"Naturally, it's yours." Gan Xinyi was secretly happy in her heart, with this person, even if Gan Shunhua didn't die this time, she would have to lose her skin.

"Don't wait for tomorrow, let's start today!" Lincheng was anxious and said to Gan Xinyi.

"Yes, the carriage has been prepared early, please-" Gan Xinyi also wanted to arrive early, and when he saw Lin Cheng open his mouth to ask, his heart became happier, and he bent down and made a "please" gesture.

Lin Cheng didn't care what Gan Xinyi thought, she only hated that the ancient transportation was too backward now, there were no trains, cars and planes, if there were, she would definitely want to fly over and ask Ning Nuoyou clearly.

"What's going on?" Gan Shunhua sat outside the hall, the one she knew, Zhang Jiu, the youngest son of the Ministry of Rites, who liked to study medicine since he was a child, but because he was a man, he was not allowed to practice medicine. The Ministry of Rites loved him, asked the mother for favors, and let him do things that ordinary people don't like. He was also loyal to his duties and solved many cases, and his mother often praised him as a good talent.

"Before leaving, Your Majesty commanded." Xiao Guogong sat in the lower seat of Gan Shunhua and replied.

"Everyone—"

The curtain was suddenly lifted, and Zhang Jiu walked in front of everyone.

"How? Father, he-" Ning Nuoyu was anxious and stepped forward to ask.

Zhang Jiu first let everyone go, saluted Gan Shunhua, and then said: "The throat is black, and the poisoning is deep." I've never seen this kind of poison before, and it may be a poison from the Western Regions. ”

"It's no wonder that the doctor couldn't find out the reason when the Spirit King died," Zhang Jiu muttered to himself, "It's really strange. ”

"On the surface of the body, it was found that there were no external injuries other than needle. The needle piercing was not deep, and it was not a key acupuncture point, but later, when I cut open the throat and stomach of the Spirit King, I found that there was something black, and I took it out for examination. It should be the poison in the Western Regions, I once heard the master say that there is a kind of poison that is colorless, tasteless, and nowhere to be found, and after taking it, he dies, and even the doctor can't see any symptoms. After being poisoned, you will be delirious, struggle in pain and die, looking at the appearance of the Spirit King, it should be this poison! ”

"This is strange to me, since this poison is colorless, tasteless, and nourishing, how can you determine that the blackened poison in the Spirit King's body is the strange poison of the Western Regions in your mouth?" Yu saw the key at a glance.

"Back then, my sister and I worshipped a master from outside the world as a teacher, and he had an ancient book, although it was incomplete, but it also recorded the strange poison of the Western Regions."

"Where's that book now?"

"The master passes on the female but not the male, this book is naturally in the hands of the junior sister"

"I see," Yu Zhi fell into deep thought, and stopped asking.

"What did the Spirit King drink and what did he come into contact with that day?" Xiao Guogong sat down again, glanced around, and asked the Ning family sisters and brothers.
