She had already walked around the rockery three times, but she still couldn't find a way out. She didn't know which palace or which garden this was. It was extremely desolate and there was no life at all. She knew a thing or two about the abandoned residences in the palace, but she had never been to some of the desolate corners of the palace.
For example, she had never seen this place before. It was said that some places in the palace were abandoned because of human tragedies. Some of them had been abandoned for hundreds of years. Looking at this courtyard, it was very old. Compared to the North Garden, which had been abandoned for ten years, it seemed to be something left behind by the change of dynasties. It had been more than a hundred years. She had heard from the palace maids that this place was either haunted or haunted, so no one dared to approach it. Could it be that she had encountered the legendary ghost wall?
Jiang Ling 'er felt a chill down her spine. The more she couldn't get out, the more anxious she became. She was even more annoyed that she was walking aimlessly without changing directions. Was this the palace she was familiar with, or was it a maze?
In the darkness, the shape of the fake mountain began to gradually become clear again. This was already the fourth time she had returned here. She felt that the surrounding eerie feeling was getting stronger. She wasn't a timid person, but it was late at night, and she couldn't get out of the palace. How could a girl not be afraid?
Jiang Ling 'er was so frightened that her body tensed up and she almost cried. Could it be that he had encountered a ghost? It was really the rumored ghost hitting the wall! She panicked and wanted to find a hidden place to hide. In a hurry, she ran behind the rockery.
Behind the fake mountain was a dry well. Rocks were piled up beside the well, and weeds grew everywhere. Jiang Ling 'er faced the well, and various terrifying images kept appearing in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Cold sweat unknowingly flowed down her forehead. She held the well with both hands and used all her strength to support her body that was about to collapse from shock.
Just as she was calming down, someone suddenly lifted her legs from behind and threw her into the well. "Ah!" Jiang Ling 'er exclaimed. Along with the rhythm of his body stumbling against the inner wall of the well, he fell to the bottom of the well and fainted.
On a dark moonlit night, a wall at the bottom of the well was pushed open and a weak light shone through. A strong man walked into the well and saw the unconscious Jiang Ling 'er and a palace maid covered in blood lying in the well.
His face lit up with joy. He reached out to see if the two of them were still alive. Then, he turned to the opening in the wall and replied,"Karon, of the two women, one is still breathing, and the other was probably stabbed to death before she fell.”
"Pack them up and come in."
When the burly man heard this, he happily grabbed Jiang Ling 'er and the palace maid's legs with both hands and dragged them in.
"Ka Long, look. There are quite a few palace maids who were killed here, but it wasn't like this before. A pair of fragrant girls were thrown down all of a sudden. We're in luck today!”After the burly man entered the cave, he began to sharpen his knife and attack the cows and sheep.
Karone stood up and walked to Jiang Ling 'er's side. He carefully examined her and said,""Flesh ghost, you can't touch the living one. You can eat and drink the dead one as you please.”Karone pointed at the palace maid and clicked his tongue."This skin color is also considered high-quality. It's not bad to peel it and sew a coat for you!”
The meat ghost sharpened the machete in its hand and waved it twice in the air. The machete reflected the flickering fire and looked extremely sharp. "Why can't I eat the living one?!" He glanced at Karone with dissatisfaction. Why can't I eat it! Anyone who falls into this well will be meat in my mouth. There were ways to eat the dead, and there were ways to eat the living!”
Karon couldn't stand his bad temper anymore. He walked forward and slapped the back of the meat ghost's head."Idiot! Haven't you seen how beautiful she is? This can be offered to Master!"
"Aiya!" The meat ghost looked at Jiang Ling 'er's beautiful face and was not angry at Ka Long for hitting him. He even raised his hand and slapped his own head twice, stomping his feet in regret."I was so focused on eating meat that I didn't notice this girl's appearance! I almost swallowed a beauty that could fit on my master's couch!”
Their master liked beautiful women, and this living one was not an ordinary one. He must have been jealous and was plotted against. If he handed such a top-grade item to his master, the two of them would definitely be rewarded. The meat ghost might even have a year's worth of human flesh.
Cuaron picked up the unconscious Jiang Ling 'er, walked to the stone bed, and gently put her down. He turned around and said to the meaty old man,"Let's heal her first. This small body fell from above and was injured quite badly. We'll report this to Master tomorrow and let Master come and take a look. If he sees her well, Master will definitely take her away.”
Jiang Ling 'er woke up to the sound of water dripping. She found herself in a damp and dark room made of stone. Iron chains and all kinds of torture tools were hung on the walls on both sides. There was no one beside her.
Her entire body was emitting a strong herbal smell, and waves of pain assaulted her. Jiang Ling 'er looked down and saw that her legs and arms were roughly tied with old cloth strips. It seemed that someone had bandaged his wounds and applied herbal medicine on them.
Jiang Ling 'er sorted out her thoughts. She thought that someone would treat him and that she was safe at the moment. She just didn't know if she was still in the palace. If she was saved in the palace, it meant that her life would be safer. However, she might lose her freedom and become a married woman. However, the situation would be different if she first contacted Jade Beauty or Big Brother, or Hu Sable. If she was not in the palace, she would be facing new dangers at any time. She might as well be in the palace.
In the middle of the stone house, there was a thin figure hanging on the stone pillar. It was like a three-dimensional painting, and Mo Ran's curiosity was instantly aroused. Who was this person? Why was his hair messy and his body covered in wounds? It was as if he had just been tortured. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. She moved forward step by step, hoping to find out something.
Jiang Ling 'er walked up to the man and saw that his skin was crystal clear and delicate. A familiar face appeared in front of her. It was Crown Prince Ji Jing. He had searched everywhere and found it without any effort. She had asked around today and didn't expect to see it tonight. It seemed that the legendary southwest corner of the stone prison really existed, and she was now in this stone prison.
He opened his eyes when he heard the noise. Jiang Ling 'er looked into his eyes. His eyes were suddenly blurry and mesmerizing, like a bottomless abyss. If he was not careful, he would be caught and fall down, unable to go up again. This feeling was very familiar, but it did not belong to Ji Jing.
"Why are you staring at me with such a disgusting face?”After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and turned his head to the side with a look of disdain.
Why did Ji Jing act as if he didn't know her when he arrived at the stone prison? He looked at her as if she was a stranger. She didn't remember seeing that icy cold gaze in Ji Jing's eyes before.
Who are you calling disgusting! Jiang Ling 'er screamed in her heart when she heard that. She subconsciously touched her face with her hand. It was sticky. She looked at the black and gray thing stuck to her hand. It was really disgusting. She wanted to throw up just looking at it. It must have been done by the person who applied the herbs on him. Could it be that her face was injured too? Who cares!
This voice was a little lazy, a little hoarse, a little magnetic, and a little deep. It was completely different from Ji Jing's voice. Jiang Ling 'er exclaimed in her heart. She stared at his face and instantly turned into a stone man who was in a mess in the wind. How was this possible? This was even more terrifying than seeing a ghost. This was clearly Ji Jing's face, but it was not Ji Jing's feeling, including…his figure!
After all, she had intimate contact with Ji Jing before. Whether it was Ji Jing's eyes or his body, she could recognize him. The man in front of her, the skin on his face, no longer looked like Ji Jing!
Also…besides the smell of the herbs on her body, there seemed to be another kind of fragrance mixed in. It was a fragrance that had left a deep impression on her.
"You're not the Crown Prince, Ji Jing!" Was he that person? Heavens! How could this same fragrance be possible! It was absolutely impossible! How did he end up in danger like Crown Prince Ji Jing?
"Interesting!" He laughed dryly and looked Jiang Ling 'er up and down again and again. The sharpness in his eyes was like a sharp knife that slashed at Jiang Ling' er.
No, it definitely wasn't Ji Jing. It felt completely wrong. What was that thing called again? Oh right, a human skin mask! Jiang Ling 'er walked into the man, and the thugs started to scratch the contours of his face.
"So smart, the gap is on the left side of the forehead!”His smile was very strange, making Jiang Ling 'er feel uncomfortable all over.
Jiang Ling 'er followed his instructions and tore off his human skin mask. The face that had once captivated her appeared before her eyes again. She boldly guessed that the unique fragrance belonged to him, the young master from Doctor Zhou's medical hall. In that case, the young master who had bought the mask on the street that day was also this person, but he had disguised himself.
"Why did you tell me? The gap is small and hidden. This human skin mask is very exquisite. If you didn't tell me, it would have been very difficult for me to find it.”Jiang Ling 'er could not take her eyes off his face.
How could all the women in the world live when a man looked like this? Monster! What a monster! Jiang Ling 'er's eyes were blinded by the beauty of the man in front of her. She sighed again and again. There was actually such a beautiful man in the world. Ethereal, dusty, and all kinds of things could not describe a single inch of him.
"I've played enough. I feel that it's boring!”His slightly hanging eyes were full of charm, and when his delicate lips moved up and down as he spoke, it made people have the urge to bite him. The torn part of her clothes exposed her shoulders, making people's imaginations run wild. Her thin body was as beautiful as a willow snake. The blood from the wound had dried up, and it was particularly eye-catching on his fair arm.
"I just don't understand how you knew and were so sure that I wasn't Ji Jing!”Although he was in a sorry state, he still exuded an elegant and luxurious aura that shook people's hearts.
Of course, Jiang Ling 'er couldn't say it. Therefore, Jiang Ling' er thought for a moment and chose a more suitable one."Fragrance, it's the fragrance on your body. I've smelled it once and I remember it!”
