Du Yao woke up slowly. Before he could say anything, a fair hand covered his mouth. Tears kept running down He Danggui's face as if she had immersed herself in endless sorrow. Seeing this, Du Yao became soberer and widened his eyes in astonishment. What's wrong? What happened? She didn't cry like this even though he abducted her, frightened her, molested her, and hit her on her shoulder before. Did she...?
His hollow eyes regained some brightness. Was she feeling sorry for his passing out? Did she fall in love with him?
"Tok, tok, tok." Someone was knocking at the door lightly.
He Danggui stopped crying immediately and straightened her back tight. Without moving a bit, she listened carefully to what was going on outside. Based on what she had noticed before, she knew among the three men outside, Song Fei that was "crazy about sex" had gone with bare feet for a while, and that Nihon man with a blue robe and purple face also flew away from
"Stone Camouflage" was one of the few matrices that He Danggui learned from Bai Yangbai in her previous life, but it was also the most dangerous one. It needed to be triggered with 125 grams of blood and then, it would have destructive power, but its creator Bai Yangbai didn't like killing, so there was another simple version of it. That version would cause no death, but it had a defect. Once it's closed, people outside couldn't get in and vice versa.What's more, the alternating coldness and hotness must be suffering for those in the dungeon. She hoped they could be patient and don't cause any trouble, because the sound in the dungeon was possible to be heard outside. The diagram of this tactical matrix looked generally like that of Tai Chi in which Yin and Yang were alternating. At the alternating moment, the sound inside could be heard outside.The most torturous thing was that those in the dungeon would feel extremely cold in Yin as if they were
Bed partners? Illicit lovers? These words were even colder and more desperate than the icy rain. Her mother gave up practicing in the Taoist temple and planning for her future. Instead of divorcing He Fu and finding another good man or just living with her daughter, she chose to be together with a man that wouldn't marry her?He Danggui also took a deep breath. Looking up to let the icy rain hit her face, she regained her nerve and said to Nie Chun, "I got it. Please tell me your address. I want to see my mother."Nie Chun replied while shaking his head, "She's not ready to see you yet. You should wait. And it'll be no good for her reputation if others know she's living with me. Just don't tell the people of Luo's Family about it, or your mother may always feel ashamed in the future. You're her daughter so you should consider her. It's up to you." Finishing his words, he turned around and left. This time, he did leave. He just disappeared from where
As he spoke, the man showed up at the back of the horse. He dressed as Chang Nuo did by covering well his face with a black cloth and his head with a big hat of fox fur. Only his bright slanted eyes could be seen. Since He Danggui had recognized Qi Xuanyu's voice, she recognized his eyes immediately as well.She was curious. Chang Nuo and Qi Xuanyu dressed the same. It could be seen that they were hiding identities and about to do bad things. Were they heading to the inn to kill those imperial guards? They were on Lord Ning's side. They just fought against the imperial guards when they had to and had never provoked those men representing the emperor on their own initiative. However, this time they went to kill them. It was so incredible.There were several forces hidden in Yangzhou City. Other than imperial guards, there were people led by Lord Ning, Nie Chun, and Meng Xuan respectively. And these are just four forces she had seen in person. Why were they s
He Danggui guessed Qi Xuanyu asked it because he saw the strange color of her right pinky. In fact, since she met them, she had deliberately kept it from them by hiding her right hand under the sleeve. It was because she had been poisoned by imperial guards and it shouldn't be found by the two of them. She didn't want them to know that she had something to do with those guards. However, since he still noticed that, she could just say, "Here's what happened. I came out of the city to walk my horses but accidentally, I was bitten by a viper. I have blocked the acupoint with needles and I'm fine, so you can go about your own business now. I'll see a physician myself when I'm back in the city."Chang Nuo thought for a moment. Then, he turned his head to look at Qi Xuanyu and asked, "Is the poison deadly? She's also infected with the plague some time ago. Can it be cured?"He Danggui felt nervous. She didn't know how Qi Xuanyu worked as a physician. All s
He Danggui retreated her hand and pushed him and the purplish-red horse to leave the brothel. She urged, "It'll be serious to keep the poison in his body. The earlier you remove it, the better it will be. I know Meng Xuan is strong so you are not worried about him at all, but robust people will also get weak if they are injured. However strong Meng Xuan is, he's still an ordinary human. You should care more about him and look after him well these days. I'll thank you for that in the future, okay?"Meng Xuan asked in suspicion, "Why do you treat him so well now? You not only risked your life to find the antidote for him and requested me to take care of him but also wanted to thank me? Miss He, when did you become so noble?" He still remembered how she dealt with her aunt so ruthlessly and would think about it sometimes.They could never let such a cold-blooded woman become a member of Meng's Family. This was what he had thought about firmly while he w
Meng Ying rode the horse very quickly and accidentally noticed a familiar figure on the roadside. He pulled the rein to stop the horse and asked in a low voice, "Yi Tong? Why are you sitting on the roadside? Where's your master?" He ran into Yi Tong now so he could find out if He Danggui had told the truth.Yi Tong was sitting in a tea-booth on the roadside. She looked up and found it was Meng Ying in disguise. Surprised, she asked, "Third Childe, did you have some news about our Childe? Yi Tiao, Miss Xiao, and I have been looking for him, but we just lost him!" Sitting upright on the horseback, Meng Ying asked calmly, "You lost him? How? He's not a little kid."With a sigh, Yi Tong told the whole story slowly, "In fact, our Childe has been strange since the night of the day before yesterday. He shouted and sat up at the midnight and told us he had a nightmare. I helped him drink some convulsion-arresting tea and go to bed again, but he kept staring
He Danggui stuck to the window like a shadow and quietly listened to the besties chatting in the room with a lighted candle beside. However, she didn't want to hear what they were talking about at all. She was just curious about where her mother was. Where on earth did Nie Chun hide her mother? Guan Yun and Ling Miaoyi had chatted for so long while they still didn't mention what she cared about the most. He Danggui didn't believe Guan Yun wouldn't send someone to track or investigate it and keep it as evidence for the future if she found her mother was pregnant. Pregnant? That's impossible. In all ways, her mother would never get pregnant.He Danggui sighed silently. Her mother was indeed beautiful but she was already thirty-three years old and couldn't give birth to another child anymore. As far as He Danggui was concerned, her mother should stop loving any man and be self-independent. Otherwise, her mother was very softhearted and always thought men were indisp
Meng Xuan was playing with two blades of orchid grass by overlapping them. Then, he pulled them with his two hands. "Snap!" This time the left hand won. On the ground there were blades of it all over, and the three potted plants at the end of the bed were all bare. Judging from the stems in the soil, they seemed to be three pots of orchid grass before. Unconsciously, he destroyed all the plants He Danggui grew.He leaned against the pillows to relax. After a long while, he said, "The left one represents me, and the right one represents Xiaoyi. Her grass broke... Something must have happened to her! I'll go find her." While saying this, he began to rummage through the cabinet at the end of the bed to find himself some clothes. Meng Ying saw it and stopped him immediately. He persuaded, "Although the poison in your body has been cleared away, you should rest well to help the wound recover. Don't look for her. You'd better not get along with her anymore. She's not a
