"What happened to her?" Ruan Qingyan coldly asked, feeling her anger from her tone.
Yu Lingjing placed Qi Wan County on the bed in the main hall, like a child who had done something wrong, and said dispiritedly: "It's been poisoned!"
While Ruan Qing Yan was taking the pulse of Qi Dian, she glanced at Yu Ling Jing and said angrily: "I really don't know what kind of food the Regent's Manor people make?"
Yu Lingjing knew that Ruan Qingyan was worried about her wife, and that she could be poisoned in his Residence of Regent, that's why he said that. He did not care about what she said, nor did he care about what she said. As long as she could cure his wife, he wouldn't have any complaints, let alone scold her, even if she beat him or killed him.
If it was someone else who dared to be so presumptuous in front of him, Yu Ling Jing could guarantee that he would have already been turned into a corpse. However, what Qing Yan said was right. The Crown Prince was able to arrange for the spies to go to his Regent's Mansion. Yu Lingjing suddenly recalled the conversation he had with the crown prince at the entrance of the imperial court that day. "Imperial Uncle, I'd like to see how long you can protect that fish from the net." "Hahaha!" That is to say that the Crown Prince was prepared to do something to his wife at that time?
"Fortunately, it was delivered in time. If I had arrived half an incense's time later, I would not have been able to save myself even if the deities came!" Ruan Qingyan said indifferently.
"Does that mean I can still be saved?" Yu Lingjing excitedly grabbed onto Ruan Qingyan's arm. Ruan Qingyan gave him a fierce glance and he quickly retracted his hand that was grabbing onto Ruan Qingyan's arm. Could it be that he had lost his composure because of Ruan Qingyan's words?
"Nonsense!" Do you think that my Medical Saint is someone who eats dry food? " As she spoke coldly, she looked for a light blue bottle on the medicine shelf where she kept the bottles, and poured out a red pill. She turned around, walked to Qi Shun County's side and opened up her blackened mouth, stuffing the pill in.
"I wonder what poison my wife is infected with?"
"This poison is called the 'Silver Ring Poison'. It was extracted from a snake called the 'Silver Ring Snake'. The poison itself is extremely poisonous!" But if he could get the antidote within two hours, that would be alright? If it takes more than two hours, even if you manage to obtain the Enlightenment Pill, it would be to no avail! " Ruan Qingyan said indifferently. To an ordinary person, she might not be strong enough to cure the Many-Banded Krait, but to her, the poison was nothing?
Even though he was young, he had followed his master around the world, roaming the world. He had seen all sorts of strange and rare poisons. There was no cure for the illness that she had seen, and there was no cure for the poison that she had seen. She, Ruan Qingyan, was able to create a poison that was even more powerful than the Silver Ring Poison.
"Hm!" Understood! "Then when will my wife wake up?" Yu Lingjing understood that his wife had been poisoned. At that moment, he was more concerned about when she would wake up.
"It should be soon! The antidote would only be effective for an hour! You stay here with her, I'll go to the back of the mountain to gather some herbs! After she wakes up, all of you can leave at any time! " As she spoke, she picked up the bamboo basket that was placed beside the medicine rack and carried it on her back. Then, she left without looking back.
He did not know that, at the instant that Ruan Qingyan turned around, her tears had already begun flowing out of her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't want Qi Lun and the others to stay here, but every time she saw their intimate relationship, she would think of her master. When she thought of her master, the scar in her heart would be reopened? It was an eternal pain in her heart, and she didn't want to think about it. The only thing she could do was to evade.
An hour passed, and Qi Shu's consciousness slowly gathered itself. She felt as if she had died? It didn't seem to be dead? She remembered that Merlin had poisoned her. In her blurry state of mind, she saw her parents and the Qi family waving to her, and she thought it might be a sign that she was about to die. But it was like someone in a dream had lifted her into a carriage and brought her somewhere she didn't know.
She was not in the underworld. Although she had never been to the underworld, she had heard people say when she was young that the underworld was filled with dark energy, filled with darkness. There was the fiendish Hades, the ugly Black and White Impermanence, and countless wailing ghosts? But not here. This place gave people a very comfortable feeling, and also a familiar feeling? As if it was medicine, Qi Dian raised his nose and took a deep sniff. It was indeed medicine, and the smell was very strong.
Where was this place? Am I not dead? I'm still alive? Slowly, uncertainly, Qi Wanxian turned her head. At this time, she saw a handsome, cold, and familiar face. This was the face of her husband, the Regent of Qi Lan Prefecture, as well as the Regent of the Dynasty, Yu Lingjing. The moment he saw Yu Ling Jing, Qi Shu's mouth curved into a smile, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"My wife!" You're awake! " Seeing that his wife had woken up safe and sound, Yu Lingjing relaxed a little and revealed a smile that she hadn't worn for a long time. He slowly walked to the side of the bed and sat down. Who knew that the moment he sat down, Qi Wanxian would quickly sit up and tightly hug him.
"I thought I was going to die just like that! I thought that I would never be able to see you again in this lifetime! " While Qi Wanli was speaking, he held Yu Ling Jing even more tightly.
"My wife!" It's fine now! It's all in the past now! " He stretched out his arms and hugged his wife even tighter, as if he would run away the moment his wife was released.
Qi Wanxian only now knew how blissful it was to hold the man he loved. Without Merlin's poison and the feeling of having walked through hell, she would never know how important this man was to her and how much she cared about him. On the verge of death, her heart was not thinking about others but Yu Lingjing. So she not only did not blame Merlin, but thanked her in her heart.
"Shall we go home?" Qi Wanjun had a spoiled expression as she spoke. She was talking about going home and not going back to the prince's mansion. It could be seen that she had already treated the palace as her real home.
"Good!" "Go home!" Yu Lingjing's face was filled with a happy smile. He was really happy that his wife had finally treated his regent's mansion as a writer. The moment she hugged him, he realized that she still cared for him a lot.
By the time Ning returned to his manor, it was already evening. The setting sun reluctantly withdrew its last bit of afterglow and slowly hid in the black night sky.
In the great hall, the steward, Liu Qi, as well as the maids and servants were extremely happy when they saw that the Royal Concubine Qi had returned safely. Everyone in the mansion was brimming with joy.
A red figure flashed by, her charming face replaced by a ferocious expression. Was that woman really lucky? You can't die even like this? Looks like I'll have to think about it a bit more.
After dinner, Qi Wanxian was escorted by Yu Lingjing to prison. It had to be said that the setup of the King's Manor's dungeon was quite ingenious. Rather than calling it a prison, it was more like a dungeon.
Its entrance was located at the bottom of a flight of stairs below the fake mountain in the palace garden. It went down one step at a time, and after going up no more than two hundred steps, it would be equivalent to five small teahouses on the second floor. Every level twenty steps were guarded by twenty soldiers. Adding to the more than two hundred guards in the dungeon, there were four hundred guards. This kind of dungeon probably wouldn't even allow a fly in.
Above the dungeon was the shallow lake in the garden. How big is a shallow lake? How big is the dungeon underneath it? In other words, the shallow lake was just a trick to confuse outsiders to protect the dungeon! Just who had designed this exquisite dungeon? Of course, Qi Wan County would know about it later, and this was what would happen in the future.
When they arrived at the dungeon, they saw a woman in plain clothes with disheveled hair sitting on the back of an iron rod at the edge of the dungeon that was as thick as an arm sitting in a corner of the prison.
The guard took the key and slowly opened the three locked cell door. Hearing the lock opening sound, the plainclothes woman slowly turned around and stood up, and shouted with a face full of surprise: "Elder sister Qi! Are you okay? " Seeing the joy on her face that came from the bottom of her heart, Qi Wanxian's heart was comforted. She had guessed correctly, she had not seen wrongly. Merlin really did not do it on purpose, and deep down in her heart, she did not want to hurt herself.
Qi Wan County walked in with a smile on his face and held onto Merlin's hand as he slowly said: "Your sister, me? Luck! It will be fine! "
"Seeing big sister Qi in this state, Merlin felt relieved. Even if he were to die right now, she would be willing to do so." Sister! "I'm sorry!" Merlin kneeled in front of Qi Shu County and said with a face full of self-blame, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yu Ling Jing looked like an outsider and was only here to watch the show, but he believed that his wife would definitely take care of this matter.
"Get up!" This is none of your business. This is all part of the Cold Wind conspiracy, and you are the victim! "However …" As he said this, Qi Wan County paused with a troubled expression on his face.
Merlin saw her dilemma and said with a smile, "Sister being alive is the greatest gift to Merlin! "Sis, if you have something to say, just say it. Merlin can accept anything!"
Qi Wan County saw the unordinary determination on Merlin's face, so she slowly said: "Before we all fell to the Crown Prince, I've already troubled little sister to stay in this dungeon for a while, if you go out, the Crown Prince will not let you go!"
"Elder sister said it was over there! "Not to mention for a period of time, even if sister allowed Merlin to live in this dungeon for the rest of his life, he would still have no complaints!"
