Hearing that Yu Linglong wanted to go back, the Southern Sudan's heart warmed. He held her hand and said, "Linglong, don't go. The sun and the moon can tell you what I think of you. Can you stay and be my imperial concubine?"
Yu Linglong got rid of the Southern Sudan's hand, and replied with a cold look on her face: "Third Prince, take it seriously. "I am from Xuanyuan, so it is inconvenient for me to stay here if I don't go back. Tomorrow, I will go back. Please don't go too far." With that, he stood up and left the pavilion.
The Southern Sudan watched as Yu Linglong left. His fist gradually curled up and heavily fell on the table.
Inside King Ning's Mansion.
Ning Xian placed Qiao Liangjin in the garden, then had the butler find a few maids, while he himself hurriedly left the garden.
Yu Sheng looked around in the garden, praising, "This Prince Ning is giving our master the red coral trees so generously. I thought he was rich. These decorations are pretty much the same as our Prime Minister's residence."
Red Dust was sitting in the hallway as he calmly cultivated. When he heard Yu Sheng's words, he smirked and said, "Some people look very safe for themselves. In fact, if they bite you back one day, you'll lose your life."
Yuesheng gave a baffled glance at Hong Chen. Rubbing her nose, she said, "Hong Chen, what are you really? Why couldn't I see the scar I left on your neck last time? "
Hong Chen's hand caressed her neck, smiling faintly: "Or is your fox fire not strong enough?"
"You are not human." Yu Sheng said sharply.
"Sounds like you're cursing." Red Dust didn't want to answer directly.
"Come, let us exchange blows. I must know what you are." With a "teng" sound, a fox fire was ignited in Yu Sheng's palm.
Hong Chen gave a faint smile as he leaned against the vermilion pillar, supporting his cheek with one hand as he leisurely gazed at the not too distant open peony.
Just as Yuesheng was about to strike out at Red Dust, the door opened with a creak. Purple Smoke said in a reprimanding tone, "You two want to fight? Stay far away from her. Don't disturb her rest."
Yu Sheng's eyes lit up as he asked in pleasant surprise, "Is she awake?"
Zi Yan shook her head and looked back into the room. She said softly, "Miss is actually very tired. Such a big family has to be worried about. The journey is extremely tiring. It's also good. We can take advantage of this illness to have a good rest."
Yu Sheng tiptoed and looked through the door. The little leopard eagerly walked towards him, its little head rubbing against his legs.
Zi Yan pointed at the little leopard and said, "Yuesheng, this should be little miss's favorite pet now. Take good care of it."
With a bitter face, Yuesheng shook his head and said, "No, no. I don't have it with me."
"How old are you? How old are you? Do you think your mistress will choose between you and this little leopard? Who do you think she will choose?"
Of course, he knew that he did not have any status at all with Qiao Liangjin. If he really allowed Qiao Liangjin to choose between him and the little leopard, then Qiao Liangjin would not hesitate to choose the little leopard.
Helpless, he could only hug the small leopard and walk over to the servant girl who was chuckling while covering her mouth. With an innocent expression, he asked, "Little sister, may I ask where is the kitchen?"
The servant girl hurriedly pointed in a direction, and Yu Sheng led the leopard to look for food.
Zi Yan walked to the opposite side of the world of mortals and sat down facing the world of mortals. She asked gently, "You hate the little miss, right?"
Red Dust scoffed, "Why do I like her? What's so good about her that I have to like her? "
Zi Yan smiled faintly. "No matter what, you've done your best. Thank you."
Hong Chen immediately stood up and waved her sleeves, saying, "Who cares about your thanks? I'm going to rest." After saying that, he hurriedly left the mirror garden.
Zi Yan couldn't help but laugh. Hong Chen's personality was truly unpredictable. No wonder Yu Cheng didn't think that he was human.
Ever since Ning Ying had settled down at Qiao Liangjin's residence, he had disappeared without a trace. Zi Yan could only patiently wait for him to return. She sent Ah Bai to ask the butler a few times, but the answer was that the prince said he would be back very soon.
It wasn't until late at night that Zi Yan turned off the lights and rested after confirming that Ning Ying wouldn't be coming.
When dawn arrived, there was an urgent knock on the door. The moment Zi Yan opened her eyes, she jumped up from the bed, put on her clothes as fast as she could, and went to open the door.
Outside the door, Ning Xi's body was stained with blood. Her eyes were filled with anxiety as she said, "Hurry up and go cook some yellow wine. Warm it up will be enough."
Zi Yan left the room.
After Ning Xi entered the room, she placed the wide-mouthed bottle on the table. She took out a pearl-sized silver pill and placed it in her teacup to clean it.
When Zi Yan returned with the malt yellow wine, Ning Ying put the silver pellet into Qiao Liangjin's mouth, then pinched Qiao Liangjin's chin and poured the malt yellow wine into her mouth.
Zi Yan curiously asked, "What is this?"
"Inner core." Ning Ying replied simply.
Only then did Zi Yan carefully examine the Ningxia Seal that hadn't appeared the previous night. It was obvious that he had gone through a fierce battle. There were some fine and fragmented scars on the back of his hand, his hair was a little messy, and there were some bloodstains on the corners of his robes.
Ning Ying saw Qiao Liangjin's throat move and finally let out a breath of relief. "I'll go wash myself first. Later, I'll bring some medicine and let your young miss take it in time. Your young lady will wake up in three days."
Zi Yan was overjoyed and immediately thanked Fortune.
After Ning Ying left, Zi Yan wiped Qiao Lianjin's face and said softly, "Miss, you're finally out of danger. Your servant saw that Prince Ning still has wounds on his body. I guess it must have been hard for you to find this inner core."
Qiao Liangjin's expression was as calm as ever and he showed no signs of waking up.
On the other hand, Yuesheng who had rushed over upon hearing the news pinched his nose and screamed the moment he entered, "Why is there such a foul smell here? Who let the snake in?"
He walked to Qiao Liangjin's side and waved his hands nonstop. He frowned and said, "Did she eat the snake's inner core? Her entire body is reeking of the snake's stench."
Violet Smoke sniffed the air with all her might, but there was no smell at all.
When he saw that the purple smoke did not seem to be able to smell anything, he said helplessly, "I have lived for 800 years. This snake has lived for at least 300 years. "What a pity. A good cultivation experience has been killed."
Zi Yan was startled and said, "No wonder Prince Ning's body is covered with wounds. It seems like he's an extraordinary snake."
Yu Sheng nodded and said, "That's true. An ordinary snake does not have cultivation experience. It does not have an inner core. The inner core is required for this snake poison."
Before he could finish his sentence, a grumbling voice came from the door: "Why is this person so disgusting? He got a viper's neidan, it really stinks!"
Zi Yan was once again stunned. Eight hundred years old, Yu Sheng could only smell the scent of a three-hundred-year-old snake. Why was it that the red dust in front of him could sense what snake it was?
Red Dust covered his nose as he walked to Qiao Liangjin's side. He shook his head and said, "This stench is so disgusting. The smell that comes from my body. Does it have to be so strong to get rid of the snake poison?"
Yu Sheng sneered. "You can do it, you can do it. Haven't you done anything in the past few days? You can dispel the venom, so why are you still here?"
Zi Yan suddenly felt as if something was wrong with her nose, and she sniffed the air with all her might. There was no smell at all, so why did the expressions on their faces suddenly become so evil?
Red Dust swept a glance at Yu Sheng, who was retching, and said as he walked towards the door, "Wait for me for a long time. I'll come back after she's finished purging the snake venom."
Yu Sheng retched as he said loudly, "Don't come back. You ran so fast."
When Zi Yan saw how Yu Sheng was about to vomit tears, she said in pain, "It smells so bad. Don't stay here. I can't smell anything. You should get out."
Yu Sheng stared at Zi Yan with tears in his eyes. He said with an expression, "If Mistress wakes up, remember to tell her. It's not that I don't want to accompany her, it's because the smell is really unpleasant. If I continue smelling it, I'll definitely die."
Zi Yan nodded her head and sent off Yu Sheng, who was vomiting.
He entered the door and carefully looked at Qiao Liangjin, whose complexion was gradually getting better. He then turned around and wrote some herbs on a piece of paper, and passed it to a servant at the side, "Go to the palace and get some medicine, you'll have to get all the best."
Zi Yan waited until Ning Ying finished writing the prescription before asking, "My lord, why is it that the little fox can smell a stench? Will that stench hurt the young lady? "
"Hm?" He asked, "Stink?" Did the little fox smell it? "
Zi Yan nodded.
Ning Ying smiled and said, "The venom of a snake. That inner core is used to expel venom, and the venom is emitted from the skin. That's why it smells terrible, but only those with a keen nose can smell it."
Zi Yan asked again, "How long before it disappears? Is it possible that you will always be with the young miss? "
Ning Ying looked at Qiao Lianjin who was on the bed and said indifferently, "Even if I am here all the time, I won't mind."
Who told you not to give up? If the little fox got close to Qiao Liangjin and vomited, it was hard to say if Qiao Liangjin would be angry and peel off the little fox's skin. She was thinking for the little fox's little life!
Ning Ying looked at Zi Yan's strange expression and asked, "You have a question?"
Zi Yan reluctantly smiled and said: "No, it's been hard on you. Your highness definitely has other things to do, so this servant won't delay any longer."
"Have you guys gotten used to the food in the mansion?" Ning Ying suddenly asked brainlessly.
"Huh?" Zi Yan was at a loss.
"I'm asking, are you used to eating the food in the mansion?" Ning Ying patiently asked again.
A blush immediately appeared on Zi Yan's face. She nodded and said, "I'm used to it. Many thanks to the prince."
Only then did Ning Xi stand up and walk out of the room, "That's good …" That's good … "That way, Jin'er won't miss the food in the kingdom and can be at ease …"
