Situ Chen's heart skipped a beat. What was Ling Fei's reaction? The man's words immediately appeared in his mind: Sooner or later, I will burn all these pills of yours.
The horror in Lingfei's heart was stronger than that of Situ Chen. She never expected that after traveling through this inexplicable time and space, she could still see this thing.
The two looked at each other for two seconds, and Situ Chen said calmly: "It's just some medicine for a headache. Does the princess think there's anything wrong?"
Lingfei took a deep breath: "Your Highness, can you show me?"
Situ Chen paused for two seconds and said with a smile: "No."
Lingfei glanced at him suspiciously and said no more. Was it her fault? She must be too sensitive. How could there be drugs here?
Situ Chen was a little surprised to see her stop just now. He reached out and stroked her long hair and said, "Do you still want to go back to Herborist Courtyard?"
One sentence immediately pulled Lingfei's thoughts away from the medicine. She glanced at him, weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded: "Lingfei misses Huandong."
"Okay" Situ Chen did not persuade her to stay: "I will send someone to send the princess back."
Lingfei returned to Baicao Courtyard in a soft sedan. When Huandong saw Lingfei, he rushed over and asked, "Princess, are you okay? I'm so worried. The guards of Nuansi Pavilion refused to let me in. Xiao Qiao suddenly returned to Lingfei.
The country has gone, and there is not even anyone to discuss it.”
Lingfei sighed and went back to Lingguo... In this era, it is really peaceful to die, and he was deceived with such a lame excuse.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Huandong asked worriedly when he saw Lingfei's expression was different.
"Nothing." Lingfei shrugged: "Can you get me something to eat? I'm hungry."
Huandong grinned and walked away obediently
Lingfei stayed in the Herborist Courtyard for more than ten days. His injuries have completely recovered, and his life is peaceful. The black shadow has not come, and the mysterious man in the black hat has not appeared again. Situ Chen occasionally comes to sit there, but he still looks sick, and he is...
Nothing about the past is mentioned
Lingfei couldn't help but wonder whether her experiences during those few days in Nuansi Pavilion were reality or a dream...
But her doubts did not disappear. What exactly did Situ Chen eat? Looking back on the two months of getting along, the more she thought about it, the more doubtful she became. She had a strong feeling that his illness was by no means an illness in the usual sense.
After struggling for several days, Lingfei was determined to give herself an answer. If she didn't understand the matter, she wouldn't be able to sleep or eat well. She took advantage of Huandong's sleep, put on light clothes, and slipped out of Herborist Courtyard alone.
Situ Chen said that he was going to the study to get medicine, so Lingfei went straight to the study of Nuansi Pavilion
There were servants guarding both inside and outside the Nuansi Pavilion. Lingfei was afraid that his poor Qinggong would reveal his whereabouts, so he was particularly careful. However, the servants were all drowsy and completely out of state, which made Lingfei shake his head repeatedly.
Situ Chen actually used such a bunch of idiots to guard the door for him. No wonder the dark shadows entered and exited the palace as if they were in a deserted place.
Lingfei walked lightly through the center of the courtyard and shook his head funny again. The courtyard of Nuansi Pavilion was full of sunflowers. Although it was not the flowering period now, Lingfei could still imagine when they would bloom in summer.
The warm scene in the yard
This was not the first time she had seen these plants, but she was still not used to it. How could a person with such a secret like Situ Chen like such sunny sunflowers?
Situ Chen's study room has no gorgeous furnishings, a large desk, a sleeping bag, a row of bookshelves, and nothing else.
Lingfei put the silk handkerchief on his hand and carefully checked the things on the table and bookshelf.
Suddenly, she sniffed and frowned tightly. This smell... was so familiar... She used both hands to move a few books on the cabinet. There was a switch in the corner. She pressed it hard and opened a dark door.
Door
Suddenly, a faint bitter smell hit my nose. Sure enough, there was a medicine bag in the secret door.
Lingfei opened it with trembling hands. There were dozens of brown pills inside. She took out one, stuck out her tongue and licked it. She immediately threw the pill back with a pale face. She wrapped the pill bag and closed it.
secret door
Lingfei turned her head, covered her chest with both hands, gasped rapidly, and resisted the urge to open the secret door again. Although the pills were mixed with other substances, she was very sure that they were morphine, and they were very pure morphine.
Situ Chen is indeed an addict...
Before Lingfei could control her emotions, suddenly a cold wind blew past her neck, a cold hand pinched her neck, and her body was involuntarily carried away.
Lingfei was so weak that he was dragged away from Nuansi Pavilion like a chicken and thrown into a deserted corner of the palace without mercy.
She raised her head in horror. That familiar figure, wearing a bamboo hat and a black gauze covering her face, the mysterious man in black actually appeared at this moment.
The man in black didn't give Lingfei enough time to think about it. He looked at her for a few seconds, then his figure flashed in front of her and said coldly: "What were you doing just now?"
Lingfei suppressed his nervousness and asked calmly: "Who are you?"
"You are not qualified to ask questions"
Lingfei remained silent, thinking about how to escape.
The man in black pinched Lingfei's chin. His force was so strong that Lingfei felt that his bones were going to be crushed by him. The pain made her gasp.
But the man in black stuffed a handful of pills into her mouth. She was so angry that before Lingfei could resist, the pills were already in her stomach.
"What did you feed me?" She was shocked and angry.
The man in black sneered: "Don't you know what I gave you?"
Lingfei stretched out her hand to dig her throat, trying to spit out the damn medicine. The man in black grabbed her hair, forced her to raise her face, and stuffed several more pills into her mouth.
"You bastard!" Lingfei gritted his teeth, but couldn't resist, so he could only watch and let him drink the medicine.
The morphine had begun to take effect. Her body felt slightly warm, and she felt like she was beginning to soar. Lingfei wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only stubbornly turn her head to the side...
The man in black looked at Lingfei with satisfaction, let go of her hair, and said coldly: "As long as you listen to me, I will give you the antidote every day."
Lingfei raised his head, looked at the man in black hatefully and said, "I can't even hit you with a finger, why are you wasting your time on me?"
The man in black smiled and said: "How do you calculate the waste? You are a princess and a princess, so you can always be of some use."
Lingfei snorted: "I won't let you control me like you control Situ Chen! Do you think you can control me with morphine? I won't let you succeed unless you kill me."
"Oh? Really?" The man in black said with interest: "If you are so arrogant, why don't we make a bet?"
