Mingzhu looked at the maid's back, feeling a little helpless and a little funny:
'What's this? People worked so hard to bring the chicken soup, and I just took a sip, and they still had to thank me. This is really unreasonable. It can be seen that in this ghost place, there is not even a little bit.
We don't even care about children's human rights. These slaves and subordinates have been tortured by masters one after another, and they have gone wrong.'
Mingzhu sighed for a long time, then immersed herself in looking at the pearls. Suddenly, she felt that the pearls seemed to be moving on their own, and their colors were slowly changing. Mingzhu thought she was being blinded, so she rubbed her eyes hard, but
When she opened her eyes again, she found that the pearls in front of her had turned into a blur. Mingzhu suddenly felt something was wrong. She exclaimed and raised her hand to grab the porcelain jar in the tray, but it was already too late.
, her eyes have turned into pitch black!
Mingzhu could no longer hold back and let out a sharp scream. At this moment, her door was suddenly knocked open, and Li Longji rushed in. He strode to Mingzhu and asked:
"Mingzhu, what's wrong with you?"
"My eyes can't see anything..."
"Ah? What's going on?"
"Chicken soup sent by the housekeeper..." Mingzhu fell heavily to the ground before she could finish her words. Li Longji was shocked and rushed to Mingzhu's side, but Mingzhu had already fainted.
It turned out that after Li Longji left Mingzhu angrily, the anger in his heart slowly calmed down not long after he left. He began to reflect on whether he had overreacted. Maybe there was really no relationship between Mingzhu and the 'flame'.
What. People who fall in love are like this. In their eyes, every behavior of their sweetheart contains thousands of meanings, and these meanings can change at any time according to their deepest needs.
For example, just now, Li Longji was so angry that he felt that Mingzhu's carelessness showed that he didn't care about him and only cared about the flame. But when he walked away, but deep down in his heart he didn't really want to give up Mingzhu, he
She also felt that the reason why Mingzhu was so indifferent was because the 'flame' was nothing in her heart, so she was so calm and indifferent.
The more Li Longji thought about it, the more he felt that his idea made sense. Finally, he was convinced by himself and returned to Mingzhu. But as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Mingzhu's scream. Li Longji was startled and desperate.
He rushed in, but he didn't expect that what appeared in front of him would be such a terrifying scene.
Li Longji held up Mingzhu's body and felt that she was already as angry as a thread. No matter how many times he called, Mingzhu could not wake up. For a moment, Li Longji felt that his whole body was cold to the bone. In the past, Mingzhu could not wake up.
Calmness and wisdom disappeared without a trace at this moment!
"What's up with her?"
Just when Li Longji was frightened out of his wits by the sudden accident that Mingzhu suffered, a strange voice suddenly came from behind. This voice was half human and half ghost. Even if it was heard in the clear day, it was shocking.
He couldn't help but feel terrified! Li Longji turned his head and saw a figure in a black robe standing at the door. The overly large black robe covered the person from head to toe. It was really unimaginable that a person dressed like this,
How could he wander around the world in broad daylight without being discovered? But now Li Longji has no time to think about these problems.
He stared at the man in black and asked fiercely:
"You are also the so-called patron saint, right?"
"Yes." The man in black replied simply.
"Then how did you protect her?" Li Longji screamed, and he was furious. It is conceivable that if the man in black was his subordinate, he would have been killed by Li Longji on the spot.
The man in black was not intimidated by Li Longji at all. He walked to Li Longji, bent down, held Mingzhu's wrist, felt her pulse, and touched the back of her neck.
, and then said in a deep voice:
"She's been poisoned, and I'm going to take her away to detoxify her. What did she just tell you?"
The man in black's attitude was very rude. Li Longji had no intention of arguing with him now and said coldly:
"She said it was chicken soup sent by the steward."
"Chicken soup?" The man in black pondered for a moment, "In this case, I will send her back to Fang's house now, and you will immediately send a reliable person to bring the chicken soup and these dishes. They may be used when detoxifying.
to them. Also, you sent people to keep an eye on this house. I think the person who harmed Mingzhu will definitely come back to check on the situation. In addition, the housekeeper also arrested him directly to see what he has to do with this matter.
What does it matter? I'm leaving first, you can do it quickly."
After the man in black finished speaking, he gently picked up Mingzhu, hid her under his black robe, and then disappeared into the air like a burst of black smoke.
Li Longji was so angry with this man in black that he almost vomited blood - before he punished him for his failure to protect the pearl, he actually gave himself a series of orders one after another!
'Give me orders! Does he know who I am?' Li Longji discovered a problem. It seems that these patron saints are very good at giving orders to others. Whether it is hunting foxes or this person just now, they all have this characteristic.
Especially what the patron saint said just now is exactly what Li Longji will do next.
Although Li Longji felt very depressed about the behavior of this patron saint, after all, what concerned him most was the safety of the pearl. Therefore, as soon as the patron saint left, he immediately called his men, arranged everything, and then he
He hurried towards Fang's house.
When he arrived at Fang's house, Mingzhu was still unconscious. She was lying straight on the bed, her face was pale, her whole body was cold, her breathing and heartbeat were extremely subtle. If you didn't observe carefully, you would definitely mistake her for a dead person.
.
Hunting Fox was standing by her bed, wondering what he was doing. Not far from the bed, the man in black who had brought the Pearl back was crawling on the ground.
Seeing Li Longji looking at the man in black, Liehu said coldly:
"As a patron saint, if you fail to protect your master, you should be punished. If Mingzhu is okay this time, he will cut off his arm. If Mingzhu dies, he will follow Mingzhu to another world."
Liehu's attitude was calm and indifferent, and it was not like he was discussing the life and death of others. The patron saint was kneeling respectfully from the beginning to the end, with a posture of willingly obeying the ruling, and facing Li Longji
The arrogance he felt at that time was completely different.
Li Longji was puzzled:
'These patron saints are really weird. In their eyes, it seems that only the people of the Fang family are important, and only their own laws need to be obeyed. As for the rest, regardless of your princes, princes, and national laws, they all don't care.
Take it to heart.'
At this time Liehu said to Li Longji again:
"Wangyounu has tried the chicken soup sent by the prince. It is not the usual poison. The most insidious thing about it is that even if the poisoned person can be revived, it will be difficult to escape the fate of blindness.
.So I think this poison may have been specially prepared to harm the Pearl."
The corner of Li Longji's mouth twitched, and his eyes were more chilling than a poisoned dagger - the person who poisoned him was too cruel. Because for a jewelry craftsman, being blind is probably more cruel than death!
At this time, Li Longji's murderous intent was like that of a giant python that had been hungry for several days. He couldn't wait to rush out of the cage to find food! Li Longji secretly made up his mind that as long as the poisoner was found out, no matter who he was,
, I must personally execute him Lingchi!
Li Longji walked to the bed and saw extremely thin silver needles inserted into Mingzhu's forehead, neck, wrists, arms, and ankles. Although Li Longji didn't know what these silver needles were used for, he
Knowing that these patron saints did have some unique skills, and they were all loyal to Mingzhu, I didn't ask any more questions and let Hunting Fox go to save Mingzhu.
But he himself just stood aside, staring deeply at Mingzhu's face. Now Mingzhu's face was greener than before, and the whole face seemed to be carved out of blue stone.
"Her face looks even more ugly." Li Longji said to himself.
"All the toxins in her body are now concentrated on the head," Liehu's voice was as gloomy as his face. He looked at the silver needles on Mingzhu's body again, "The poison never spreads to the whole body, but only spreads throughout the body.
The heads are gathered together, it’s too vicious and too domineering.”
At this time, Liehu suddenly straightened up and asked:
"Are your men looking for you?"
Li Longji was stunned and walked to the door. Sure enough, he saw his confidant walking in the distance. Li Longji turned to Liehu and said:
"The person I sent to interrogate the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion is back. Do you also want to listen to the news he brought back?"
"good."
The subordinate walked in and walked up to Li Longji without looking sideways:
"Back to the prince, we followed your instructions and took the butler to a secret place with his head and eyes covered, and then started to torture him in various ways. There is only one problem, let him do all the evil things he has done.
But in the end, the butler told him how much property he had embezzled from the princess's mansion over the years, how many evil things he had done with the power of the princess's mansion, and even how many maids he had occupied, but he didn't tell him about the poisoning.
matter."
Li Longji and Liehu looked at each other, and they both saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
So Li Longji asked:
"Have you thought of it too?"
"Yes." Lie Hu nodded, "From the very beginning, I felt that the housekeeper had no reason to poison the pearl. Moreover, even if the housekeeper really wanted to poison, he should choose the kind of poison that would seal the throat when it seeps blood."
Hu glared at Li Longji, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp!
