Beauty Jing arranged for someone to put the herbal medicine she had prepared into the steamer.
Once everything was ready, he began his medicinal bath.
Carter only left a pair of shorts on his body and sat cross-legged in the bathtub of the steamer house. Surrounding him was steaming hot steam, and inside the bathtub was already soaked Chinese herbal medicine. Every hour, Beauty Jing would get someone to bring in the herbs they had prepared and add them to the bathtub with hot water and herbs.
Inside the steamer room, Beauty Jing's clothes were all drenched, making it particularly difficult for her to stick to him. However, she needed to stand by Carter's side and perform acupuncture for him.
His forehead was covered with sweat, and the bandages on his eyes were wet.
Once, twice, Carter couldn't hold on any longer, and just as he was about to fall into the bathtub, he was shocked in his heart. But right now, it was a critical moment, he couldn't stop, he had no choice but to sit inside, using his body to support Carter's body, and both of his hands were even going to continuously apply acupuncture …
The night was dark, as if it was going to rain.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, followed by the sound of rain breaking the silence of the night …
Beauty Jing collapsed on the ground. Carter also collapsed on the floor of the steamer room. He really wanted to get up and wash himself, but the head-splitting feeling made him completely sink into darkness.
The temperature in the steamer slowly dropped.
Chen Pe saw that it was time, so he pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Beauty Jing gasping for breath on the floor. Carter was washed clean, he wrapped himself in a towel and laid on the wooden floor.
"Send him back to his bedroom and guard him until he wakes up." Beauty Jing calmed her breathing. She didn't expect that she would almost be poisoned by Carter. Carter's poison was too fierce. If it wasn't for her having the heart to inject some of Bo Liangchen's blood into her body, she probably wouldn't have been able to counter the poison in Carter's body.
Chen Pei quickly arranged for people to send Kate back to her bedroom, then helped Beauty Jing to return to the bathroom upstairs. After placing the bath water back in the tub, they left.
These needles were found in her grandfather's backpack. This was the first time she had used a golden needle, but her grandfather wrote down the method to use the golden needle for her, and also gave her a few array diagrams to expel the poison. This was a forbidden technique, and as the Jing Family's successor, it could not be learned, but now, they could not use any other method to remove the evil poison, so they could only take a risk.
Beauty Jing had a picture of a Big Dipper pricked on her chest. Just then, her heart suddenly throbbed in pain and her mind flashed the image of a thin, bright sun's face. It was very painful, very painful.
She knew that someone was using a Gu poison to control Bo Liangchen, but that person did not expect that Beauty had Bo Liangchen's blood in her body and could quickly find out the pain of Bo Liangchen. She had used the Big Dipper Formation to trap the Gu worm, and only by controlling the blood and mind of someone who was connected to her will the other party not be controlled or manipulated.
The water in the bathtub slowly turned muddy as black blood oozed out from the needle.
An hour had passed, and Beauty Jing slowly opened her eyes. She reached for the golden needle on her chest, opened the shower, washed her body, dried off the water on her body, wiped her hair dry, and poured all the water in the bathtub out before returning to her bed in her bedroom.
Ye Zichen opened his phone, but she still didn't receive any phone calls.
She stood up and pulled open the curtains, unable to sleep as she stared out the window at the heavy rain.
The door was knocked gently. Beauty Jing came back to her senses, walked over, and opened the door.
Liang Zhi was wearing a pajamas as he stood barefooted outside the door. His small face was pale and there was sweat on his forehead.
"Sister-in-law, I can't sleep."
Beauty Jing reached out her hand and probed Liang Zhi's forehead, then pulled him into the room and closed the bedroom door.
"Xia Zhi, did you have a nightmare?" Beauty Jing's anxiety increased again. Although she did a lot of things, the uneasiness in her heart was getting heavier and heavier, pressing her so hard that she could barely breathe.
"Yes." Liang Zhi nodded and nestled into the sofa while hugging his legs. He raised his pitch-black eyes to look at Beauty Jing, "Sister-in-law, why haven't my brother and the others called yet? I'm a bit worried. "
Beauty Jing did her best to comfort Liang Zhi. "Xia Zhi, don't worry, Chief is so brave. He'll definitely be fine. If you can't sleep, sister-in-law will sing for you, okay?"
Liang Zhi's eyes lit up. "Yes, sister-in-law. You're so kind!"
Beauty Jing was speechless. She was also very uneasy, but when facing a youth younger than her, she had to look like an adult. Thus, she tilted her head and began to hum softly.
"Follow me with my left hand and your right hand will do a slow motion."
Right Left-hand Slow Replay
This song give you pleasure
Do you fall in love with me
Follow my nose
oculomotor ear
You can't stop putting on a good act and changing your style
Too much youth
Unknown Guess
What's the trouble with growing up
Wear a suit with polish on your leather shoes
Wear the dream of the last carat
My bravery is full of power
Get your head up to every place
The Sun of the World
Because self-confidence can light me up
the center of the stage
I'm the only one who's shining
I'm the only one who can shine
Follow My Left Right Hand

"Have you fallen in love with me …"
He didn't know why he was so moved. Beauty Jing's voice was soft and clean. Her voice wasn't as thick as the singers', but on this quiet night, it was intoxicating.
He tilted his head and hugged his knees as he closed his eyes. Last night's shock, today's exhaustion, a 16 year old youth had all gone through a day of parting. At this moment, he fell into a deep sleep under the soft voice of Beauty Jing.
Beauty Jing stood up and laid Liang Zhi's body flat on the sofa. She then found a thin blanket to cover Liang Zhi's body before returning to the bed. Leaning on the headboard, she fell asleep in a trance …
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, causing Beauty Jing to wake up with a start. Beads of perspiration appeared on her forehead as she widened her eyes and looked out the window.
Lightning tore through the clouds, ripping a hole in the sky. Water flowed down towards the earth, but she did not gasp for breath. She held onto her right chest, feeling a pain as if there was a knife gouging out there.
She stretched her hand out and picked up the tube of blood from the table. She opened the stopper and poured the blood into her mouth. This was her last hope. If she could not stop it, they would be separated forever.
The rain washed against the ground, and the night was long and hard …
The next morning, the sun rose early in the morning. Strands of sunlight spilled onto the earth, and the new day was still as clear as ever. If it weren't for the fact that the soil in the garden was wet and the leaves had crystal clear droplets of water, no one would have thought that this place had experienced the baptism of heavy rain last night.
Inside the villa in the mountain stream, Carter slowly opened his eyes when he woke up.
At first, he felt as if his entire body was being eaten by bugs, then the scalding hot water made him feel as if he was about to be cooked. Finally, he felt an incomparable refreshing feeling, the head-splitting pain was gone, and the restraining feeling on his body for the past few years had disappeared as he stretched his limbs and sat up from the bed.
A little warrior guarding beside his bed woke up as well. Seeing Carter's refreshed state sitting up, he hastily stood up and performed a standard military salute.
Kate looked around and saw that she was lying on her own bed, wearing silk shorts and pajamas. She waved the little soldier out.
The little warrior didn't dare to think too much and immediately turned around to leave. He opened the bedroom door, walked out, and gently closed it.
He gradually adjusted to the daylight, narrowed his blue eyes, thought for a moment, then walked into the bathroom to wash up. Very quickly, he finished washing up, went to the cloakroom to find a set of light blue short sleeves and a pair of western pants to put on, then, after taking care of his hair, he looked at his reflection in the mirror, then hurriedly ran upstairs to the bedroom of the beauty Jing Jing. In the past, the beauty had already woken up to eat breakfast, but today, the living room was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that he was somewhat flustered.
He knocked on the door, but there was no response. He pushed the bedroom door gently. It was unlocked, opened and entered.
Pushing open the door to the bedroom, he saw that there was blood on the white carpet. It seemed to have dried up.
Beauty Jing's hand was on the white carpet. There was a deep cut on her white wrist, the assassin had scabbed it, and a thin blade lay not far from her wrist. It hurt Kate's eyes so much that for a moment his brain went blank.
He rushed over to the body lying on the ground and pulled it into his arms. Trembling, he probed the tip of Beauty Jing's nose with his fingers and felt a warm breath on them. With a long sigh of relief, he quickly picked her up and placed her on the bed, covering her with a thin blanket. Then, he sat down on the bed and pulled her uninjured wrist with one hand.
His pulse was steady and his heartbeat normal. His nervous heart slowly calmed down. He let out a long breath as his tightly locked eyebrows slowly relaxed. A trace of warmth was added to his feminine face.
He curled up in a corner of the sofa, trembling all over. He could not imagine why Jing Jiu would cut off his wrist, nor could he imagine what he would do if something happened to his little sister-in-law. He was a little flustered, a little helpless, and even though he had grown up in the army and trained in being fearless, the events of the day had seriously ravaged his consciousness. He knew it was a sign of weakness, but he could not stop it.
Carter came back to his senses and saw the skinny Liang Zhi secretly crying. He felt a little sour in his heart, a sixteen-year-old child who went through life and death, and now, seeing his sister-in-law cut off her wrist, he couldn't help but feel sad. So, he stood up, walked to the sofa, and sat down.
