Chapter 65: Acquaintances
The following day, the members of the Glory Sky Rider waited patiently in the special hall of the hotel for Jane's news, although they did not know what happened to the mermaid girl, but they could see that Jane must have something very important to solve. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"I think something happened to my sister's brother? Colleen couldn't sit still at first, there was no point in chatting aimlessly, so she opened her mouth to mention the matter, "I didn't see him show his face at the dinner a few days ago. ”
"Colleen, it's very rude to casually mention other people's private affairs. Phipley, as a teacher, reminded Colleen on the sidelines.
"But, but!" Colleen replied anxiously, "I'm really worried about my sister. And tonight is the show, and she hasn't come back yet."
"Sister Colleen, we're all worried about Sister Jane. Jacqueline carefully comforted Colleen, "I think Sister Jane is so capable, she must have a way to handle her own affairs." ”
"Please be at ease. Maori Sakura handed Colleen the brewed tea, it was her own tea, at first it felt a little strong, but when she got used to it, she would taste an indescribable fragrance in her throat, according to Maori Sakura's own explanation, it was made with their national tea ceremony, as for the reason she didn't know, she had been trained in this strange etiquette since she was a child.
Although Colleen liked the taste, every time she saw the Oriental partner making tea so tedious, she could only discourage the idea of learning this etiquette.
The fragrance of the tea eased Colleen's nervousness to a certain extent, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "Then let's wait a little longer, really, it must be that Sister Jane has been staying with that harsh woman called Oscar for a long time, and she has learned her mystery, which is really uncomfortable!"
"It's rude to talk about other people's things behind your back. Phippley had to be reminded again.
"Yuu, where do you want to go?" Mori Sakura seemed to have eyes behind her, and directly named her ninja.
"Ahhh Like a child who did something bad and was caught by a teacher, Yu smiled helplessly to hide his embarrassment.
"Your curiosity is too heavy, and sooner or later it will hurt your ......" Maori Sakura's tone was serious, but with her age, it didn't seem to be very convincing.
"Okay, okay, can't I just go?" You pulled the chair to Maori Sakura's side as if she was angry, and continued to do it, which means "the old lady is not leaving".
"Do you have any ideas?" Colleen's patience wore out after a long time, and she asked her housekeeper for advice.
"If only there was any way to get the gold coins of the wish as soon as possible. Jessie said with a frown.
"God, it's simply impossible. Colleen smiled wryly at the idea.
"I think if it was that woman, she would have a way. Jessie Fer said lightly.
"You're talking about that mean girl?"
"No, I mean Senior Sister Lin Yan. Maybe it's eccentricity, but Jesse always thinks that Lin Yan's intelligence is higher than that crazy woman who calls herself Oscar.
...
......
Jane and Lei Suqi stayed awake all day, not eating a drop of water, and stayed at He's hospital bedside. If the calculation is correct, by tomorrow night, Ho's life will be over, dying of this terrible curse.
And Jane is going to perform with her friends tonight, but now her mind is so confused that she doesn't even go to today's rehearsal, she just wants to be with her relatives.
Chu Shou had also been by his side at the third of the back palace, and from time to time he used his tentacles to touch the mermaid in the sewer that was so festering that he couldn't be disgusted anymore, trying to see if he could break the curse, but everything was in vain. Unless He can be cut into cells and let Chu Shou touch them one by one, this magic can be completely destroyed.
Chu Shou also tried to destroy the curse on the patient's surface first, but once the curse on the surface was destroyed, the curse inside was more active, and the festering of the skin had stopped, but the muscles below festered more quickly, and with a light touch of his hand, a large piece of skin with a foul smell of rotten flesh under it was peeled off from the patient's body, and what was even more disgusting was that there were wriggling maggots on the flesh, I really don't know how those damn flies laid their eggs!
Chu Shou was worried that if he continued, the patient's internal organs would be in trouble, so he could only stop this attempt, and now he was helpless.
Perhaps, it can be euthanized - that's what the little tentacle monster thinks.
As the sun rose, Ho's wheezing became more and more rapid, and each breath seemed as if it was exhausting all his strength. Jane held her brother's hand with tears, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only keep comforting him.
Duke Lei Suqi suddenly stood up and said vigorously: "No, I can't watch He die like this, I go and beg the king, I would rather exchange my life and honor for He's life!"
With tears streaming down her eyes, Jane shook her father's hand and persuaded, "I'm just afraid that even then the king won't accede to our request." Let's try tonight, I will perform well tonight, and win the king's favor, maybe he will agree. ”
There was an uncomfortable silence in the room, Jane and Resuki both knew what it meant to make this matter public, and it was a very serious crime to break into the fertility altar, and it was very likely that the Resuki family would be stripped of their nobility and beaten as commoners. And neither Jane nor Resuki were even half sure of convincing the king.
This price is too heavy, just to save a life, maybe it will affect the whole clan, Lei Suqi and Jane can't bear such a heavy responsibility, they even have the thought in their hearts, "Is this really right?".
Inside, none of them wanted to give up their only blood relative, Jane's younger brother, the son of Lei Suqi, who was now struggling to survive in bed.
The two of them remained silent by the dying relatives until the evening sun peeked through the west window.
"You still have a performance tonight, you should be ready, you must play well. Father broke the silence first.
"Hmm. Jane only replied softly, she was now extremely weak, she had not slept for a day and a night, and she was crying constantly, this state could not perform well at all, but this was also the last hope to save He.
At this time, a bell rang from the door of the room.
"There are guests. Father said.
"It's Phipley, right? must have waited too long for me. He straightened his posture and stood up, forcing himself to smile, "Trust me, father. ”
As she spoke, the mermaid girl hugged the little tentacle monster and walked out without looking back. She was afraid that she would be more reluctant to leave after staying in this room for a long time, and she didn't want her brother to be by her side when he was in such pain.
Entering the living room, Jane found that there was only one guest, the other party was wearing a veil and even her hair was wrapped well, as if she did not want people to see her true colors.
"Not a member of the Glory Sky Rider?" Jane was slightly puzzled when she saw the guest, but she still greeted the other party politely.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, you want to make the king happy tonight while he is performing, and then let him pardon your brother, it's impossible. The other party said unceremoniously, "Such a stupid move will only cause the Lei Suqi family to be wiped out." ”
After Jane heard this, her face changed drastically, this secret could not be known to outsiders, but the other party not only knew, but also knew very well what she would do next, she was a little overwhelmed.
"I can prolong your brother's life, but if you want to save him, you must do something no less risky than pleading with the king. The other party saw the mermaid girl's reaction, knew that his persuasion was promising, and continued to speak.
“...... What is it?" asked Jane, who was silent for a long time.
"It's hard to talk here. The other glanced around at the servants and slaves.
Jane understood what the other party meant, and in order to save Ho, she really wanted to hear this method, so she sent away the guests in the living room, and after making sure that the surroundings were safe, she silently looked at the guests.
The guest didn't say what she could do, but took off her veil and turban, revealing her true face—a face Jane was familiar with, with black eyes and long black hair that only Orientals have.
"Senior Sister Lin Yan!?"
The little tentacle monster looked at the No. 4 of the back palace that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and had an ominous premonition in his heart. (To be continued.)
