Another masked person said hesitantly: "The Queen does not allow people to test the medicine."
Lingfei was shocked and angry. What kind of security was there? She had only been out for less than an hour when someone targeted her again. She wanted to complain! But before she could complain, she was hit on the neck by a cold palm.
Go up, her vision went dark and she fainted
"What are you doing?" The hesitant masked man caught Lingfei's limp body and asked his accomplice with a frown.
Another masked man lowered his voice and said: "The empress is too kind. Even if she tries all the mice in Longming Kingdom, she can't guarantee that the thing will work on people! The master said that she must get people to try it."
"But if you take this woman back, I won't even try it."
"Of course it's not possible to go back like this. If the person is about to die, maybe the empress won't be so insistent."
"you mean……"
"Where's your maple mountain a little red? It's a poison that has no cure and won't kill you immediately. If you don't use it now, then when will you wait!"
"How could I not recognize the matchmaker from Fengshan!"
"You're so stupid. Let's use a little red first, and then we'll get some poison and poisonous weeds on the road and mix them with her to eat. How can the empress see it?"
"Okay?"
"That's it!"
Lingfei felt uncomfortable all over from head to toe. Sometimes her body was as hot as if it was being roasted by fire, and sometimes it was as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her chest felt as if a giant steamroller would run over it at any time, leaving her suffocated.
In her confusion, she seemed to have a pair of gentle hands soothing her body, someone holding a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and someone wrapping her tightly in a warm leather jacket.
After an unknown amount of time, her consciousness finally began to wake up slowly. Lingfei opened her eyes with difficulty and saw a glimmer of light, but her field of vision was much smaller than before. She couldn't help but want to reach out and rub her eyes.
"Don't move." A gentle voice came from the side. Lingfei twisted his neck and then saw a middle-aged woman, nearly forty years old. She was mediocre in appearance but had the unique elegance, charm and temperament of a mature woman.
It is beyond the reach of Lingfei’s age and experience.
Gentle hands held Lingfei's little hands, pushed them back to the bed, and said kindly: "I just applied medicine to your face, don't touch it."
Only then did Lingfei realize that her entire face was wrapped in white cloth, like a mummy.
"Sister..." Another clear voice sounded in my ears.
Lingfei moved his neck two inches and looked sideways. He saw a teenage boy throwing himself beside the bed, his eyes flashing as clear as a mountain spring.
The warm picture made her feel like she was in a dream. Did she die and go to heaven? No, she should go to hell after she died!
"Xing'er, go get sister's medicine." The middle-aged woman caressed the boy's head lovingly.
"Oh" the angelic child turned around and trotted away
Lingfei looked at the child's back and was stunned. The child's features and eyes were somewhat similar to Situ Chenhe... She quickly shook her head and flattened her mouth in depression. How could she be so worthless? She looked like everyone else.
he!
Lingfei took a deep breath, turned to look at the gorgeous woman, opened her mouth and asked, "Where is this?" Her eyes widened in horror. Why did she only feel that her mouth was moving but could not make any sound?
"Girl, I'm sorry..." The woman's voice was full of self-blame: "You were poisoned and mute, but I can cure you, just give me some time."
Lingfei's eyes showed confusion, poison?
The woman sighed and said, "It's because of my poor discipline and my subordinates are misbehaving. I've locked them up, but...hey"
Lingfei blinked, what happened?
The woman looked at her and asked, "You want to know who I am and where I am?"
Lingfei nodded
The woman said lightly: "My name is Qianlan, and this is Longming Country."
Longming Country? Lingfei remained silent and continued to look at Qianlan
Qian Lan gently stroked her forehead and said: "From now on, you will be the princess of my Longming Kingdom. I will treat you as my biological daughter and Xing'er will be your brother, okay?"
Lingfei's eyes were red. Qianlan was about the same age as the mother she remembered, which made her feel a sense of closeness involuntarily.
There was a sound of soft footsteps outside the door. Xing'er walked into the room with a medicine bowl, leaned on the bed and said: "Sister, take medicine."
Lingfei held back the tears in her eyes and swallowed the medicine. She didn't know where Longming Country was, but it made her feel like home.
Under Qianlan's careful care, Lingfei's health gradually improved, but she knew that she had not recovered.
When she took a bath for the first time and found that her body was covered with blood-like red spots and obvious swelling, she almost fainted from fright. After drinking dry orchid medicine every day, the red spots not only did not subside, but became more and more serious...
…
She was not in a hurry to remove the bandage on her face. She already knew why Qianlan wanted to wrap her face. Qianlan transferred the poison from her body to her skin, which poisoned her skin beyond recognition.
Lingfei could only smile bitterly. This was good. At least she no longer had to worry about Situ Chen or He Bing recognizing her. Since she could no longer look back, what was the point of her appearance?
Half a month later, Qianlan removed the bandage on her face. Lingfei looked in the mirror and raised his eyebrows. Her face was not as scary as he imagined. There were only two red spots. The color was much lighter than that on her body, but
The obvious swelling made her face completely deformed, and her former beauty was completely lost.
"I'm sorry," Qian Lan said helplessly: "I can only control the poison on the surface of the body, so that it is not easy to damage the internal organs. I try not to let the poison come out on my face..."
Lingfei smiled and shook his head, patting her hand to indicate that it was okay.
The worry in Qianlan's eyes became more intense. She bit her lip and said to Lingfei: "Ming'er, I can't cure this poison. All I can do is prolong your life. I don't know how long you have left.
Maybe a year, maybe half a year"
Lingfei continued to smile. She refused to say her name, so Qianlan called her Ming'er. Every time she thought of the word Ming, she couldn't help but laugh.
She had known that her poison had not been cured, otherwise she would not have been dizzy, had chest tightness, and vomited blood. Whether it was half a year or a year, it was all her time. She had nothing to complain about.
In fact, Lingfei can speak now. To be exact, she was able to speak a few days ago, but she chose to continue to be "mute"
Lingfei believed that Qianlan knew about this because she adjusted Lingfei's prescription, but she didn't tell him, just like Lingfei didn't tell him that Qianlan was wearing a human skin mask.
Everyone has secrets. As long as they are not harmful to nature, there is no need to reveal everything.
In Nuansi Pavilion, Situ Chen said to Mu Xuan with a smile: "You have been silent for a month, are you really planning to stay silent for the rest of your life? Leng Yue has been awake for a few days, and if you ignore him, wouldn't it be in vain for me?
