After the sudden silence, there was a sudden chaos that was about to rise. I stopped in my tracks and didn't look back.
I could hear many terrified and desperate sobs, many moments of ferocious crying, and even the shocked gasps of the imperial consort, but I couldn't find Jing Yi's movement among all these complicated sounds, as if there was no such person around.
Killing was nothing to me. Even if so many people died so easily, it was still not enough to scare me. When those beautiful women were still practicing chess to serve the emperor, I had already taken the lives of many people. When I saw the blood spurting out, I felt that it was just a very ordinary color in the world.
At this moment, I was only thinking about what kind of coldness could sustain this kind of calmness after a large number of people were wiped out. What kind of state of mind could make him suspect me at the beginning, but in the end, he could help me resolve the situation unconditionally.
I really wanted to stop and think about it, but I knew now was not the time.
I always felt that Consort Hui did not have the ability to get this kind of thing. I suspected the Imperial Consort, so I asked Gu Mianmian to investigate it. However, a few days later, I told Shen Lin that all the buyers were not suspicious. I had no time to investigate after the clues were cut off. I did not expect it to happen again. Even if Soul Eater is hard to buy, at least it can be bought. There is no reason for this poison to be leaked out this time. Gu Mianmian specially gave it to Gong Huaiming. How could he let others get it?
Thus, I couldn't help but think of the possibility, and my heart sank.
I hurried back to Kun Yi Palace. I heard Jing Yi's order and everyone in the palace looked at me worriedly. I cooperated with them and gave them a serious look. No matter how serious their worries were, I was serious.
I quickly entered the bedroom and instructed Shui Mo,"Close the door! Don't call anyone close!"
The poison was acting up faster than I had imagined. It had almost reached my right shoulder. I had only tried a little, but I couldn't suppress it. I tried a few times but still couldn't stabilize it. I knew that I had to make a prompt decision.
"Go get a basin of cold water, the colder the better!”I looked at Shui Mo, who had followed them in.”
Shui Mo rarely saw me so anxious. He hurriedly nodded and ran out. At this time, I took a handkerchief and circled around my shoulder. I clenched it tightly with my teeth. I didn't have a dagger in my hand, so I casually grabbed a sharp hairpin and rolled up my sleeve. When my arm gradually turned red and purple, I pointed at the meridian acupoint and stabbed it. When I pulled it out, sticky blood followed and quickly dyed my forearm.
When Shui Mo came in with the water, she saw this scene and was so scared that she almost dropped the basin."Miss! You-"
I didn't have the time to explain. I gestured for her to bring it over, then pressed my hand into the cold water and slowly waited for the poisonous blood to flow out. Only when the blood became thinner and no longer sticky did I randomly wash my arm with the blood. I untied the handkerchief on my shoulder and wrapped the wound before getting up to change my clothes.
This was the emergency method taught by Lanshan. It was only a temporary relief and could buy me four hours. Fu Hongyan was dealing with the aftermath in Blessing Extending Palace, so Jing Yi couldn't come over now. There was no one in the palace who could help me. I needed to go out and ask for help myself.
After giving Shui Mo a few instructions, I left the Kun Yi Palace through a small side door. Jing Yi had ordered everyone to avoid me, so no one would dare to find me at this time. Besides, it was already late at night, and many of the imperial guards had been transferred to the Blessing Extending Palace. It was the best opportunity for me to leave the palace.
No one was allowed to enter or leave. Even though I didn't dare to use my inner qi, I still managed to leave the palace without any danger. Once the palace walls were out, it was easy for me to leave the capital. In the past, I never cared about when the city gates opened and closed. There were some special passages that allowed me to pass through them all year round without any obstruction.
Qingcheng, Shuo Jin Hall.
It had been a long time since I last came here. I didn't know if Jing Yi had arranged for me to look for Shen Lin, but I still chose to look for the source directly. The five years I had known and interacted with Gu Mianmian were very important to both of us. I trusted her in my heart.
Gu Mianmian was the hall master who appeared the most in Qingcheng in the Windward Pavilion. Other than being busy with business matters in the capital, she would come back to stay when Gong Huaiming was in Qingcheng no matter how many things she had to do.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered her courtyard, I confirmed that she was there. Even though it was late at night and there was no light, the hidden weapons used for routine security could not escape my eyes. In order to avoid attracting attention, I silently went around, gently pushed open her door, and flashed in.
Just as she entered the room and turned around, she heard a dart flying through the air.
I couldn't help but frown and hide. Before I could say anything, someone had already attacked me.
It was also at this time that I realized that I was unarmed and couldn't move my right hand. I actually forgot to bring my sword. I didn't expect that after entering the palace for such a short period of time, I was already used to leaving the dark night that I had sworn never to leave.
In the darkness, the other party was only a shadow, but from his movements, he could already tell who it was.
"Mianmian!"”
Gu Mianmian immediately stopped and said in disbelief,"Luoying?"
" Yes," I replied." Turn on the lights."”
Under the light, I reached out my hand to her.”
"You were poisoned? Who did it? Amazing!" She was still as giggling as usual. She grabbed my hand and took a casual look at it. She opened the handkerchief and rubbed a little of the heavy and sticky blood on her finger." How can it be mine? You know my poison is-"
She suddenly stopped halfway and looked at me in a daze. I looked straight at her and didn't say anything.
After a while, I saw that she was still frowning in a daze. I sighed helplessly."Mianmian, someone will die."
I've said this to her countless times. She used to like to sneak up on me, and often found me to test her poison. When I couldn't stand it, I would complain like this, half true and half false. I'm afraid that neither of us thought that it would come true one day.
"It's okay, there's a solution!" She jumped up with a start. My poison can still-"
She stopped halfway again. Looking at her suddenly desolate appearance, I couldn't bear it and smiled."If you have the solution, hurry up and take it out. Otherwise, you'll really become famous overnight.”
She looked at me and forced a smile. After struggling for a while, she said truthfully,"The toxicity has changed. There's no ready-made one.”
I nodded silently.
Just as Gu Mianmian wanted to say, her poison would naturally not kill anyone in front of her. In less than an hour, the poison would be solved.
She seriously helped me bandage my small wound. She lowered her head and said gloomily,"Where did you get poisoned?"
I kept silent and didn't answer. After a while, I asked,"Why did the toxicity of your poison change?”
She didn't look up or say anything. She just shook her head slowly.
I hesitated for a moment before asking,"Who have you given this poison recipe to?"
She finally raised her head and said to me,"Luoying, you said I could call you Yanyan.”
I met her eyes and nodded.”
" Yanyan, I'll investigate this matter and give you an explanation." Her voice was pleading." Trust me, okay?"”
Seeing that I didn't say anything, she bit her lip." If you ask me as Luo Ying, I'll tell you, but-"
" Mianmian," I interrupted her and smiled." You have your own insistence, and I have my own choices. Just like how I can't tell you where I was poisoned, you don't have to tell me. I believe you."”
When she heard this, she smiled lightly. I could see some slight cracks in her smile.
I believe that after such a night, both of us will have our own burdens and subversion in our hearts.
.
When I left, Gu Mianmian insisted on sending me off. She didn't say any reason, but she insisted. I knew the knot in her heart, so I didn't reject her.
She asked me if I should go to the back to look for Tang Jie or Lanshan. I hesitated and shook my head, thinking that there was nothing I could say to them at this time. If I let them see this situation, it would only cause trouble.
Hence, the two of them slowly walked out of the south main entrance. They didn't say anything along the way and each of them was quietly thinking about their own things. At this time, there were already not many people walking around in Qingcheng. Occasionally, there would be disciples on night duty who cupped their fists at Gu Mianmian, but she would usually wave them away from afar. There were already very few people who knew me in the Windward Four Halls, so it was even more foolproof now.
After leaving the city, I was about to say goodbye to Gu Mianmian when I casually glanced around and saw a familiar figure not far away. I didn't have to look clearly to recognize that it belonged to the person who was most unlikely to appear. I was immediately stunned.
Outside Qingcheng was a vast, empty space. The night was dark and quiet, and Jing Yi stood there without any protection.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
