"If you make me do this kind of thing again, I'll kill you with a sword!”As soon as he walked out of the group's line of sight, Ying Yun, who was originally " on the verge of death " and was supported by Lin Yilan, immediately stood up and threatened fiercely.
"Big Brother Yun, I'm very grateful that you were 'injured' for Xiao Mo's sake. We'll write off the matter of you secretly eating candied hawthorns last time.”
"I didn't steal it! It threw it away by itself! Also, if you dare to tell anyone about this, I'll…"
"Kill me with one sword!" Lin Yilan continued. This was the only line this person could use to threaten her. Even now, he was still denying that he had eaten the candied hawthorns. This person's pride was simply unimaginable!
"It's good that you know." Ying Yun looked up at the building in front of him and pointed at Lin Yilan." We're here."”
Lin Yilan raised her head. In front of her was a four-story tower. It was ancient and elegant, and it occupied a huge area.
Above the red wooden door that was several people tall, a huge plaque was hanging. It read: In the library pavilion.
However, the wooden door was slightly closed and not locked. It was obvious that someone was inside.
Who else could it be at this hour?
Lin Yilan and Ying Yun looked at each other, then gently pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
A few candles on the wall had already been lit, and although they could barely be seen, the light was dim, and half of the depths were still submerged in darkness.
Apart from a table and a few chairs by the door, the rest of the floor was filled with huge bookshelves, neatly arranged in rows.
Lin Yilan had never seen such a large library before. She hurriedly shuttled between the bookshelves! These were all treasures!
"It's so big. Where do we start?" Leaning against the bookshelf, Ying Yun hugged his sword as he cast a sidelong glance at Lin Yilan, who was flipping through the books excitedly as if she had found a treasure. I really don't understand what's so good about these lousy books.
"There is a pattern to the placement of the books.”Lin Yilan stuffed the book back into its original place and walked to another bookshelf to take a book. She casually flipped through it." The books on the first floor should be all about herbs. Let's go up to the second floor and take a look."
The second floor was arranged the same as the first floor. Lin Yilan took a book and flipped through it before putting it back in its original place. She shook her head at Ying Yun and prepared to go up to the third floor.
Just as he lifted his foot, Ying Yun suddenly pulled Lin Yilan over with a serious expression and hid behind the door.
"There's someone!"
Sure enough, not long after, footsteps came from the third floor, as if they were going downstairs.
A dim yellow candlelight appeared at the corner of the corridor, and the two of them finally saw who it was. It was Imperial Physician Qi, who had been to the Prince's mansion the last time.
At that time, Lin Yilan was a suspect. As such, he couldn't see her. The responsibility of covering her fell gloriously on Ying Yun's shoulders.
Lin Yilan winked at him and pushed him out.
"Who is it?" An old voice came from the stairs.
He really owed this witch in his previous life. Nothing good would come out of following her! Ying Yun, who had been pushed out, glared fiercely at the door. Then, he braced himself and cupped his hands at the person who was slowly walking over.”
"It's Lord Ying." The old imperial physician saw who it was. Seeing that it was the prince's personal guard, he felt relieved. Then, he couldn't help but feel puzzled." May I know why Lord Ying has come to the Imperial Hospital's library so late at night?" Is your highness 'hidden illness acting up again?"
"His Highness didn't send me here. I'm the one looking for Quinn.”
"Lord Ying is looking for me?" The old Imperial Physician asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am. Why was Quinn studying medicine with others so late at night?”He would first inquire if there were any accomplices. If there were, he would scam them all!
"Lord Ying must be joking. Everyone else is asleep. This old man is just patrolling as usual and plans to go back.”The kind-hearted old imperial physician did not suspect anything and told him everything.
"Mr. Quinn should go back early…Why is the library divided into four floors? How troublesome is it to walk?" Then, he inquired about the geography so that the people behind the door could find him.
"Lord Ying might not know, but the books on this fourth floor are very different. The first floor is for medical books, the second floor is for acupuncture, cupping, and other treatments, the third floor is for medical theories, and the fourth floor is for some unorthodox books. Very few people go up…I wonder why Lord Ying is looking for this old man?”Suddenly realizing that he had strayed off topic, the old imperial physician quickly pulled his attention back.
"I'm not feeling well and want to ask for some medicine.”
"I see. Then Lord Ying, come with me to the second floor. This old man will take your pulse.”As he spoke, he pushed open the door to the second floor and entered.
Ying Yun panicked and quickly blocked the old imperial physician."This…Let's go to the first floor? I'm afraid of heights." That woman was still hiding behind the door. If she entered the second floor, wouldn't she be exposed?
Lin Yilan, who was hiding behind the door, almost tore the door apart when she heard this. Couldn't he pick a believable lie? A guard who flew around in the sky all day was actually afraid of heights? Who would believe it!
However, there were many strange things in the world, and some people in the world really believed it.
The old imperial physician was fooled by Ying Yun and walked to the outside of the stairs.
Lin Yilan looked at the candlelight that was gradually disappearing from the stairwell. She then walked out of the door and quietly went up to the third floor. She removed the candle that was still burning on the wall and walked up to the fourth floor.
However, before she could open the door, Lin Yilan smelled a strong smell of book mold. It almost made her go downstairs!
No! It wasn't that this group of old men rarely came, but they had basically never gone up to the fourth floor! No wonder the candlelight kept sizzling along the way. It must have burned the spiderweb! Lin Yilan started to have the urge to turn around and run.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Yilan reached out…After careful consideration, she retracted her hand and gently kicked open the wooden door.
With a creak, the decayed door opened, but Lin Yilan choked on the dust that rose up! F * ck! It was fine if he didn't come to take a look. He didn't even sweep the floor. The dust piled up below was enough to cause a sandstorm!
It was pitch black inside the dilapidated wooden door. Unlike the first, second, and third floors, there was no light here.
Frightened by this scene, Lin Yilan swallowed her saliva and sized him up for a long time. She tried hard to recall Xiao Mo's silly smile. Just as she mustered up her courage and was about to step in, an elegant and gentle male voice suddenly sounded behind her."Young lady."
Lin Yilan's first reaction was to throw the candle in her hand at the source of the sound, but someone grabbed her wrist.""I'm sorry for scaring you!"
She took a closer look and saw a handsome and elegant man in front of her. He was smiling at her at this moment. Other than warmth, his eyes were also filled with apology.
"You are…the person I met by Star Lake last time!”Lin Yilan looked at it for a long time and finally remembered.
"Yes, it is my honor that Young Lady still remembers me.”He let go of Lin Yilan's wrist and took a step back. The man was gentle and polite. He kept his distance and didn't dare to offend her.
"Why are you here?" Lin Yilan frowned slightly. Why was he here? The scene around her was like a horror movie. When the word " girl " suddenly popped up, she was about to clap hard before she could say anything!
"To tell you the truth, I was in a bad mood today and couldn't sleep, so I went out to take a stroll. In the end, I saw you walking with a man. I was worried and followed you to take a look. Now that I know you're fine, I'm relieved.”
Lin Yilan was shocked by the gentle voice. They had only met once, and they were still strangers. Yet, this person was so concerned about her. Lin Yilan's heart warmed." Thank you! I'm just here to read."
"Reading books?" The man looked at Lin Yilan and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. What a strange woman. She was so engrossed in reading that she even entered the Imperial Hospital. Raising his head to look at the pitch-black door, he recalled Lin Yilan's frightened expression and said gently,""I'll go in with you." He didn't care if Lin Yilan agreed or not. He took the candle from her hand and walked in first.
Lin Yilan was stunned and quickly followed. This man was meticulous and his words and actions made her feel comfortable. Such a person made her feel at ease. To be able to enter and exit the Imperial Hospital so freely without alerting anyone, this person was definitely not simple. However, as long as it was not her enemy, she could not be bothered to think so much.
"What's your name?" Since he was so concerned about her, she couldn't just call him "hello". Lin Yilan, who was behind him, stuck her head out and asked. F * ck! This damned place! There were spider webs everywhere! Can this book be read? Would it be full of holes after opening it?
"Mo Wen. May I know your name?" The man waved away the spider webs around him to prevent Lin Yilan from touching them.
"Then I won't tell you!" Lin Yilan said shamelessly.
The man was taken aback. Then, he couldn't help but chuckle. He turned around and said to Lin Yilan seriously,""My name is Mo Wen. It's not that I don't want to tell you.”
"Ah? I'm sorry…Haha…I'm Gu Yin.”Lin Yilan's face turned red. She thought he was the one who told her not to ask! What a strange name.
"Are the books in the Imperial Residence not enough? Why is Lady Gu here?" Mo Wen looked in confusion at Lin Yilan, who looked as if she had stepped on excrement. She carefully used two fingers to pinch out a dusty book. After shaking the dust for a long time, she began to flip through it in disgust.
" Mm..." As soon as she touched the medical book, Lin Yilan was so engrossed in it that she completely forgot about the person standing beside her.
Seeing that Lin Yilan seemed to be ignoring him, Mo Wen did not bother her. He quietly found a chair and sat down, looking around.
On the huge fourth floor, only one star of candlelight could barely illuminate this small area.
The woman leaned against the bookshelf and flipped through the book quickly. The man sat beside her and looked at her with interest.
After a while, Lin Yilan, who had quickly finished flipping through a book, put it back in its original place. She took the candle closer to the bookshelf and looked for her next target.
"I'll do it." Mo Wen stood up and took the candle from Lin Yilan's hand. He followed her line of sight to illuminate the title of the book.
"What's that book called?" He raised his head and pointed at a book on the upper floor.
"Acupoint Pulse Scripture. Miss Gu, can't you see?”Mo Wen stared at Lin Yilan's eyes, puzzled. They looked quite bright.
"I can't see things from afar clearly.”Especially under this kind of light. Lin Yilan replied nonchalantly. It was fine if Mo Wen found it strange. In ancient times, there was no such thing as shortsightedness. Most probably, people had pretty good eyesight.
"No wonder." Mo Wen muttered to himself. No wonder she did not seem to notice him at all that day at the restaurant. It turned out that her eyesight was not good.
However, Lin Yilan did not notice Mo Wen's words and continued to focus on searching for books.
Just like that, Mo Wen acted as Lin Yilan's eyes. When she closed the book, he would immediately stand up to get the candle for her and help her get the books that she could not reach.
"What is that book?" Lin Yilan pointed at a book in the corner of the upper floor and asked.
Mo Wen followed the direction of her finger and went forward to brush off the dust. He replied,""Manual of Acupuncture."
"Help me take it down and take a look." Perhaps acupuncture could help the poison spread.
"Alright." Mo Wen took the book down and carefully blew off the dust on it before handing it over to Lin Yilan.
She casually flipped it open and found that it was about acupuncture, which was similar to the books she read in the prince's mansion.
If he continued searching aimlessly like this, he did not know how long it would take.
Without the motivation to continue reading, Lin Yilan watched in boredom as a small bug crawled out from between the pages and slowly crawled across it.
After reading so many books, she had never seen any poison that was hidden like Xiao Mo's. Was there really such a poison in the world? No matter how powerful the poison was, as long as it did not spread and did not show its toxicity, it would not take anyone's life. The poisoner must have wanted to harm people. Then, who would use a poison that could not kill people to harm people?
As her thoughts spun, Lin Yilan's eyes followed the little bug's crawling and landed on a line of words:
Neiguan, Emissary, and Quze acupoints, breaking the meridians of the Shenmen and Taiyuan acupoints could slow down the speed of poison…
Her gaze never left this sentence.
Her bright eyes blinked, and suddenly, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. She closed the book, stood on her tiptoes, and put it back in its original place. She turned around and waved at Mo Wen."I know! Young master Mo, let's go!" If that was really the case, he had probably caused himself to go in a big circle.
"Lady Gu, are you done watching?" Mo Wen stood up when he heard this. His expression was still gentle.
"I know what happened. Many thanks to Young Master Mo for today!" Lin Yilan said with a smile. Without Mo Wen's company, she really wouldn't have the guts to stay in this damned place for long.
"Lady Gu, what are you saying?" Mo Wen smiled lightly and shook his head. Together, they helped Lin Yilan tidy up the scene. After gently closing the door and sending her to the third floor, he said," I won't go down there. Miss Gu, we shall meet again." Without waiting for Lin Yilan to react, he jumped out of the window and left.
Lin Yilan looked at the figure that had disappeared outside the window. She really wanted to tell him that she had actually snuck in…
"Lord Ying's illness is really strange! His pulse, complexion, and tongue were all normal, but Lord Ying had a headache at times, a foot pain at other times, and a sudden discomfort in his abdomen. At this moment, he felt weak all over. This…Could Lord Ying have gone mad while cultivating?”The old imperial physician frowned. He had never seen such a strange disease!
"No, no! Quinn, you're worrying too much." The corner of Ying Yun's eyes twitched. That demoness went in for a long time and did not come out, causing him to be "possessed by the devil"! She wanted to see how he would deal with her when he had the chance!
Just as he was thinking about this, a petite figure bent down and quickly flew past the old imperial physician. Ying Yun was overjoyed and stood up with a whoosh. He cupped his hands towards the old imperial physician who had a shocked look on his face and said,"Quinn! "I feel much more refreshed and comfortable now. Thanks to Mr. Quinn's miraculous hands, I won't disturb you anymore. Mr. Quinn, rest early!"”With that, before the old imperial physician could react, he dashed out of the door and disappeared!
The old man looked dazedly at Ying Yun's original seat, unable to digest his words for a long time…Just now, did he have a miraculous hand to bring back the spring? He didn't seem to have done anything…
