Jian Rou laughed sinisterly as she took the whip and began to whip me. "Pa!"

I took in a breath of cold air. I was lashed by Jane several times. It was so painful that I almost died! Luckily Protector Tong had returned, he was shocked when he saw the situation, "Protector Jane, what are you doing?!"

Jane Rou bitterly retracted her whip. "I'm helping you discipline them!" Aren't they fine? Where's the meat missing? "

Protector Tong was furious, "Jane Rou, you can't do this well, right? "After all, the white kid is the Sect Leader's only concubine. If you treat her like this, the Sect Leader might get angry afterwards!"

Jane Rou hatefully said, "What concubine? She's just a fox spirit! It was because of her that the Sect Leader was so infatuated that he left the old lady to save her! "

I finally got a little more focus here... Old madam? Was it Empress Pei, the mother of Niu Yu? From the looks of it, it seemed that the thousand years old antidote had not been concocted yet?

Tong Lin and Jian Rou argued for a while, but in the end, Tong Lin's position was higher, and he used his status to suppress Jian Rou. Thus, Jian Rou and the others all left. Tong Lin came forward to help me loosen up and heal my injuries.

He said in a low voice, "Bai Cai, don't blame Jian Rou. She's worried about the Sect Leader …"

I smiled bitterly. "Can I have a word with you?"

Tong Lin glanced at Yao Hua … Yao Hua had turned pale. It could be that the miserable state I was in had frightened her, or that my status as a "concubine" had shocked her.

When she saw how friendly Tong Lin was to me, her face changed color: "White boy, you..." "So you were with them!"

I didn't reply because if I retort now, Tong Lin might misunderstand and Jian Rou will have an excuse to torture us.

Yao Hua saw that I didn't say anything, so she treated me as a tacit agreement and became even angrier: "So you've been playing with my royal brother!"

I'm depressed... I can understand that you think of me as a traitor, but when have I ever played with your royal brother …

Tong Lin changed me to a different place with no one around. I asked him: "Can you not make things difficult for Princess Yao Hua? She had nothing to do with it. "

Tong Lin glanced at me and shook his head: "I'm afraid not. I have already discussed this with everyone earlier. Everyone has agreed to trade the princess for the head, so it is impossible for me to let her go now. "

I was very disappointed. "However, you can be at ease. If the Sect Leader is fine, we won't make things difficult for her." And I can guarantee that the princess will not be punished until hostages are exchanged. "

I was a lot more relieved to hear this, so I asked him: "Have you not refined the thousand-year antidote in One Dream? "How is the old lady's illness?"

Tong Lin said: "The antidote has been preliminarily refined, but the Sect Leader is too worried about your safety, so he went to the palace to rescue you before the madame can wake up … …" The old mistress had already taken the antidote. Her condition had gradually improved over the past two days, and she would occasionally wake up. I just left because I wanted to find her to be the one in charge. I just didn't expect her to fall unconscious again … "

I was shocked, "Didn't we already have the antidote already? "Why is it that you still haven't recovered?"

Tong Lin shook his head: "Maybe it's because I've been unconscious for too long, so I haven't recovered so quickly? After all, the madame had been in a coma for twenty years … Furthermore, I have also faintly heard from Sect Leader that in order to fully recover, there still needs to be a medicinal guidance. "

"What kind of medicine is this?"

Tong Lin glanced at me and his gaze flickered: "You don't need to worry about that … …"

I sighed, "Protector Tong, you don't believe me that much?"

Tong Lin: "It's not that I don't trust you, but I was forced to … …. Only, the matter regarding the medicinal herb was specifically instructed by the Sect Leader not to mention it to you, so I … I'm very sorry! "

The more I listened, the more confused I became... You're not allowed to mention it to me? Then this medicine must be related to me? Besides my blood of the Nine-tailed Fox, there doesn't seem to be any other possibility for the medicine that is related to me, right?

So I said to Tong Lin: "Can you let me see the madame?"

Tong Lin was still hesitating, I said: "If you don't let me see her again, or if something happens to her, would you be responsible?"

Tong Lin creased his eyebrows and accepted under pressure.

I went to see Queen Pei, but I was lucky. When I went, she had already woken up.

Perhaps it was due to the drugs, but she still retained the beauty of her youth. Her face was like a young man in his early twenties, with no trace of time to be seen. Her mind wasn't completely clear either. She just looked at me quietly with her beautiful peach blossom eyes. Her eyes were filled with a pure and innocent blankness … She had not recovered her memories, remembered nothing, understood nothing, and was as innocent as a newborn baby.

Looking at the peach blossom eyes that were extremely similar to Mu Yu's, I felt a sense of guilt in my heart … This was the mother that he longed for. However, even though he had waited for her to wake up, she no longer knew him.

However, she still had the memories from twenty years ago, right? Was it just for the time being that he couldn't remember?

I took the blood from my heart and gave it to her.

The first time he took it, it hurt. He had to use a special kind of needle to pierce his chest, and although the wound was small, it was very deep. Afterwards, blood would slowly flow out of the needle and converge at the end of the needle, dropping drop by drop into the bowl.

Once a day, half a bowl at a time.

I was getting weaker and weaker, and the Lady was getting better and better. Gradually, she was even able to call out my name and communicate with me in a simple way, even though that communication was just everyday gossip. She still didn't remember the past, just relearned it all like a child.

People from the Lightning God Cult would go to the palace every day to spy on them. It seemed that Mu Yu had set up eyes and ears in the palace before, so even though I was outside the palace now, I could get more information about him than when I was in the palace.

I heard that the Emperor did not kill him, but only imprisoned him.

After hearing this news, the worries that I had been hanging in my heart for a long time finally settled down … Even though the emperor was fierce, it seemed that the tiger poison was not a glutton. After all, he still had a blood related relationship with Mo Yu, right?

I don't know much about the court feud twenty years ago. Jian Rou said that it was Princess Yao Hua's mother, Princess Jing Xian, who framed Empress Pei together with the Emperor. And Yao Hua said that it was Empress Pei who framed Princess Jing Xian, and the Pei family wanted to usurp the throne.

It was said that the mother of Qing Ling and Yao Hua, Jing Xian, who came from a small country in the Western Regions and was a princess by blood, seemed to have been the final victor in the court battle; but even so, she died young from exhaustion, leaving Qing Ling to be raised by the Evergreen School before she passed away, and did not want him to be involved in the court battle again. However, in recent years, the remaining sons of the Emperor had all died during the battles within the palace. Only Prince Qing Ling was left alive outside the palace, so he was eventually recalled by the Emperor and conferred the title of Crown Prince.

The curtain had long fallen on that battle between the two princes. Both princes grew up among the people … Qing Ling had always lived in the Evergreen Sect, and at the end of the day, he became the leader of the Lightning God Cult.

There was no way for me to know the truth of the matter. I only looked at the pale and frail Queen Pei in front of me and thought that, even if she had done more wrong, it would all be over. She was now only the mother of the last child, and I should have cured her of her illness and reunited the two of them.

Queen Pei likes me a lot, and often asks me to go and talk to her. Gradually she was able to walk, and one day she even let me push her out for a walk.

Her bodily functions had yet to fully recover. Although a thousand years was a good medicine that could maintain the human body's functions, if a person's legs were not used for twenty years, they would naturally not be able to recover to their previous state in a short period of time.

I wheeled her out to the back garden, where it was midsummer and the flowers were in full bloom and the sun was warm on my skin, and I felt comfortable.

As we passed a pond, Madame asked me to stop suddenly. She leaned forward to look at the dark green water in the pool, not saying a word for a long time.

I asked, "Madam, do you want to feed the fish?"

She nodded her head. A maid had long since brought over the fish food from the Golden Carp. I accompanied her to the pond to sow food, fish fight for food, very lively.
