With a Ling'er, Zhao Yuanling seemed to have returned to the past, and her father, queen mother, and queen mother also called her so.

Suddenly, Zhao Yuanling felt a tingling pain in his heart, and his chest was as if he was suffocating.

"What's wrong?" Behind him came Mo Bai's concerned voice.

Zhao Yuanling shook her head and stood up straight, the tingling pain did not belong to her, as if it was a natural reaction of the body.

Before her brain could think, her body had already begun to react.

She thought, it must be the emotions of the original body.

Pain, desolation, and grief filled her chest, making Zhao Yuanling have no choice but to force her own emotions back.

There seemed to be a voice roaring angrily in his head:

- Don't trust her anymore.

Don't trust her anymore.

My mind went blank suddenly, and then it seemed as if something had come out of the depths of my memory. "Come on, Ling'er drink more water, this water is boiled by her mother herself, and if you drink it, you can sleep peacefully at night."

"Mother has worked hard."

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhao Yuanling drank the water, and after a while, he felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and fell asleep deeply.

Days like this are repeated day after day, lying in bed half asleep during the day, but at night I am restless and unable to sleep.

But since drinking the tea prepared by her mother, her routine has become much more normal.

One day in the middle of the night, she found Song Niang secretly looking for something in the stove room.

She hid and waited until she was gone before creeping in. It was discovered that she was not looking for something, but hiding something.

In a stone brick at the bottom of the stove, there was a packet of brown paper, which was wrapped in red powder.

The smell of this powder was a little familiar, she smelled it, and put it in without thinking about it for a while.

After going to the hut, she poured a glass of water on the table, and after drinking the cold water, she was surprised to find that the taste of the water was similar to the taste of the powder.

What is the mother doing in secret? Isn't it afraid that she will find out and secretly eat it all?

When she was a child, in order to prevent her from eating more sugar, Song Niang always secretly hid the candy jar, and when she cried, she took it out and coaxed her.

Thinking so, the next day she secretly took out the packet of medicinal powder again, dipped her fingers in her mouth and tasted it.

"Bah, it's unpalatable."

It wasn't sugar, she put the bag back in disappointment, but the next moment, the powder was scattered on the ground and melted into the ashes.

Zhao Yuanling hurriedly picked it up, but it was already mixed with a layer of ash, and it couldn't be cleaned no matter what.

After doing something bad, she felt that her whole heart was beating ordinary, and if she was discovered, she would be indispensably abused and beaten.

Seeing the kudzu powder drying in the courtyard, she had a plan, grinded the kudzu powder, and then dripped some madder root juice and pounded it for a while, although she could still see a little difference, but it was already eight points similar.

She had no choice but to put the fake powder back. Fortunately, Song Niang didn't find out, and still handed her the water to drink as usual.

Only she knew that the taste of the water had changed.

For a day or two, Zhao Yuanling found that the whole person was as palpitated as before, and he could only stare blankly at the beam of the house every night.

But she knew they had no money.

A few days ago, when Song Niang was away, the maid of the Zhao family came to say goodbye to her.

The maid was once assigned to her by the Zhao family, and later returned to the Zhao mansion.

The maid not only came to see her, but also brought her some unwanted clothes, a maid dressed better than her, Zhao Yuanling couldn't help but have gloomy eyes.

The maid told her that the eldest lady of the Zhao family gave birth to a precious son, and in order to reduce expenses, she only gave them a little money for medicine every month, and she also said that if there was any difficulty, she would go to her.

There was a look of pride between the eyebrows and eyes.

Zhao Yuanling just smiled and agreed, but he didn't take it to heart.

I was going to open my mouth to tell my mother about the medicine bag Now I don't dare to open my mouth, this money is not only used to buy medicine, but also to make a living, I'm afraid it's not enough, so it's better to bear with it.

After all, she doesn't need to do heavy work, so what's the use of eating well and sleeping well?

Zhao Yuanling endured it for nearly a month, and finally found that his illness had improved.

She is getting more and more clear-headed, sleepy and sluggish on weekdays, but now she can sleep well at night, and she can wake up all day during the day.

Even her head won't faint for no reason, she thought, she's really okay, right?

She excitedly said to Song: "Mother, mother, my body is fine!" There is no need to drink medicine anymore. ”

I thought that her body would make her mother happy when she got better, but she didn't expect Song Niang's face to be as happy as she expected, but she roared in panic: "What nonsense? Your body is not well yet, you can't skip the medicine, hurry up and lie down for me, and I'll go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for you later. ”

Zhao Yuanling didn't know why he had to take medicine, because his body didn't feel any discomfort anymore. It wasn't until later that she drank the strange-smelling water again.

Slowly, her body began to weaken again, until her body could no longer bear it, and even her mother abandoned her.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanling knew that even so, the original body had never questioned Song Niang's poisoning of her.

And this was also discovered by Mo Bai.

The taste of cinnabar is so light that you can barely smell anything. But the white nose was very smart, and after sniffing it once, he found a packet of the same powder in the house where the original body lived before.

Zhao Yuanling boldly guessed that this was Song Niang's poison.

And she didn't know where she got these medicines, so she asked Mo Bai to go to the pharmacy to investigate, and there was nothing wrong with the account books of the two pharmacy stores that sold cinnabar, and the only thing that was investigated was that the shopkeeper of Jiyuantang had changed people a year ago.

I thought it was just Song Niang, but I didn't expect to be hooked all of a sudden.

The account book shown to the county lord was also brought by Shopkeeper Liu just now, not last year's account book.

"You conscienceless slut, you don't even let go of your own mother, you wait for me! You will definitely be retribution, find what retribution......" Song Niang jumped to her feet angrily, pointed at Zhao Yuanling and scolded angrily.

"It's been paid back to you, and she doesn't owe you anything." Zhao Yuanling's eyes were full of waves, and her eyes seemed to be looking at an irrelevant person.

Song Niang was inexplicably scared, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, it's my mother's mistake, it's my mother's mistake, let me go, I will definitely be a good person......"

Zhao Yuanling turned around and stopped looking at her, and Song Niang's voice that was crying disappeared into the lobby little by little.

She thought that Song Niang owed the original body an apology instead of begging for mercy, but it didn't seem to matter.

The title deed was back in her hands.

The sale of the house went smoothly and it took only two days to sign the contract.

They packed their things and prepared to set off, Zhao Yuanling looked at this barren but full of fireworks Yonglin Town, but was silent and did not speak.

The armadillo patted her on the shoulder, thinking that she was still sullen about Song Niang's affairs.

"That woman is to blame, her imprisonment has nothing to do with you, if her conscience found out, she should have found it a long time ago, instead of crying and regretting when she was about to go to prison."

Zhao Yuanling shook his head, "I'm not sad about this matter. "I just felt a little stunned.

She also felt that Song Niang was to blame, although she personally sent people to prison, it didn't mean that she wouldn't be sad. Turning against each other is the last thing she wants, but human life is not innocent, and those who make mistakes must always be punished as they deserve.

Mo Bai led the carriage over, and Zhao Yuanling and the armadillo sat on it. The money from the sale of the house and the remuneration that they had received for helping Master Song before were enough for them to travel easily and worry-free.

There was a sheepskin drawing on the carriage, and the armadillo held it in his hand with a serious face, and then pointed to a road with his index finger and said excitedly: "This road doesn't seem very far, it can be reached in about ten days." ”

She said something wrong, and Zhao Yuanling also smiled and said, "That's pretty fast." ”

There was a trace of worry in her eyes, but before she had time to think about it, the map turned around in their hands, and the white and slender fingers dotted on it, and Mo Bai glanced at the armadillo who didn't know how to pretend to understand, and said to Zhao Yuanling with a calm face: "We have been going south, if there is no problem, we can get there in a month." ”

Armadillo: "......"

One month......

For some reason, Zhao Yuanling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really been a little longer, so let's go now." ”

Mo Bai: "No, we're going to go find Lu first." ”

His tone was calm, with unmistakable affirmation. Stripped of the dogma shackles in the palace, he was a little more uninhibited, and his body still exuded a cold and persecutive aura. But it's not so severe, but it makes people feel that this is a natural strong momentum.

He was like a bird that had been freed from a rope, and the ferocity of being locked in a cage that made people dare not approach turned into indulgence when he returned to the heavenly vault.

This is the real him.

Perhaps he was not born to live in the palace.

Zhao Yuanling's expression was faint, and he quickly looked away, "But now how can we find the demon who has devoured the spirit of the human race?" ”

The armadillo touched his chin, also looking confused, "This is indeed a problem. ”

Mo Bai grabbed the reins and looked straight ahead, "Let's go to Lianyun City, I heard that there has been something strange in that place recently." ”

Lianyun City is in the opposite direction from the Imperial City, but it is very close to Yonglin Town, almost next door.

It only takes two days and one night to reach it by horse-drawn carriage, and it is a sea city, and the nearby villagers basically rely on fishing for a living.

The carriage traveled until night, when Mo Bai found an empty grassy slope and stopped to rest.

Zhao Yuanling did not sit in the carriage, but sat on the grass and looked up.

There are no fire trees and silver flowers here, and there are no clusters of flowers. There were only tiny stars in the sky and a dark and silent night.

Compared with the night in the city, it is a little more lonely and lonely here.

The tiny stars converge into a galaxy to dot the sky, making it impossible to take your eyes off it. It was the same sky, but there didn't seem to be so many stars in the sky above the Imperial City.
