Ximen Jingxuan leaned against the window, watching Lin Xiner struggling in the water with her bare hands, as if she was watching the strangest thing that had nothing to do with him.
The moment Lin Xiner emerged from the water, she could see Ximen Jingxuan's indifferent face. Every time she struggled to get out, she saw again and again that the word ruthlessness was deeply engraved in her heart.
This is the first time I truly experienced the cruelty of this man.
If he could be seen as a selfish person who ignored her because he was poisoned last time in the bamboo forest, then that could be considered a reason to forgive him. After all, she didn't seem to him at all.
She is worthy of the word "Princess Xuan" and is not his woman.
At this moment, Ximen Jingxuan watched her struggling in the water as if watching a play. He knew that she had just suffered a serious arrow injury, but he just threw her into the water without concealing his cruelty.
Bloody intention.
She and this man are enemies, aren't they?
Lin Xiner sank into the pond and threw herself into the mud. Out of anger and pain, she grabbed hard in the mud with her hands and caught something like a dagger.
Then she struggled to stand up and spread her palm. Although the crescent moon on the handle of the knife was stained with mud, it was particularly eye-catching in Lin Xiner's eyes, as bright as ever, glowing with cyan light.
Lin Xiner held the handle of the knife tightly and held the crescent moon in her palm. The thing she thought she had lost was in her hands again. There was a feeling of beauty that was lost and found, and the corners of her lips curved slightly.
Ximen Jingxuan clearly saw a smile overflowing from Lin Xiner's painful expression. She was actually laughing!
It took a lot of effort to climb out of the pond. Lin Xiner was covered in mud. Even her face was muddy and dirty. No one wanted to take a step towards her, let alone help her.
A handful.
Lin Xiner's body was soft and weak at this time, as if her bones and muscles had been pulled out, but the injury on her back was hurting, and the poison that invaded her body from the wound was also tormenting her. The only thing that soothed her was the poison. After the severe pain,
Erosion, soaking in the pool water, gradually dissipated.
Lin Xiner's face returned to pale, and she stood staggeringly by the pond. Looking up, Ximen Jingxuan's figure was no longer in the window.
Yes, he is still thinking about Lin Keer, how can he have time to deal with her?
Lin Xiner was lying by the pond, scooping up water to wash away the mud on her face, and then rinsing the mud off her body. The clear pool became turbid due to her struggle, and it took a long time for it to settle again.
Lin Xin'er dragged her uncomfortable steps and walked towards the door of Fengyue Tower with pain and difficulty, leaving a long string of muddy footprints behind her. Just like her experience of sneaking into Prince Xuan's Mansion this time, it was a heavy and difficult task.
Master, you wait for me, I will definitely find the successor of Guigu Miracle Doctor for you!
This is Lin Xiner's only belief.
As long as she finds the imperial doctor, she will no longer be such an unbearable Lin Xin'er, and she will get back all the insults she has received with profits!
"You don't want your life!"
Just when Lin Xiner was about to step through the door of Fengxue Tower, a woman rushed over from one side and grabbed Lin Xiner.
The sudden force shook Lin Xiner, and her vision went dark. She knew that her body had reached the limit of support and she would fall into coma at any time.
But……
Lin Xiner held the dagger in her hand tightly and stared straight at the stairs leading to the second floor of Fengxue Tower. She remembered that the scabbard should have been dropped in the previous room, and she wanted to return the dagger intact.
scabbard.
"What do you want to do? You won't be able to hold on any longer!" The woman supported Lin Xiner and followed her gaze to the stairs.
Lin Xiner's hand holding the dagger was slightly raised, but only by more than an inch, and then it dropped weakly, leaning against the woman's body with her limp body.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark. She looked at where she was. The flickering candlelight reflected a simple house. It was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where it was for the moment.
Lin Xiner moved her hand, but found nothing. She couldn't help but get excited and sat up, feeling a sharp pain in the wound on her back.
After taking a breath, Lin Xiner got out of bed and looked around by candlelight.
"Squeak!"
The door rang, and a woman walked into the house. Seeing Lin Xiner standing on the ground, she said, "I heard a noise in the house and knew you were awake. Are you looking for this?"
With that said, the woman took out a dagger from her body and handed it to Lin Xiner.
Lin Xiner's eyes lit up and she quickly took the dagger. The scabbard was the one she had thrown away, and there was indeed the crescent moon on the handle. She took out the dagger and wiped it clean without a trace of stain. It was exactly what she was looking for.
That one.
"You were still holding it tightly in your hand before you fell unconscious, so I knew it must be very important to you." The woman said, "Then I followed the location where you fell as pointed out by the witness, and went to that room and found the knife.
Sheath, I think you insist on entering Fengxue Tower again just to find it."
"Thank you." Lin Xiner re-inserted the dagger and looked up at the woman. She was very young, seventeen or eighteen years old, similar to her age, but her eyebrows seemed a bit dignified for her age, but her voice was very nice.
, like a sweet bell.
Lin Xiner was sure she had heard this voice before.
"Your legs and feet are inconvenient, you were injured and poisoned, and your body is very weak. Go to bed and rest quickly." The woman helped Lin Xiner back to the bed and sat down.
Lin Xiner observed the room carefully, and she remembered that this room was the room she had stayed in a few days ago when she came to visit Leng Yanqiu. This was Leng Yanqiu's small bamboo forest courtyard.
And this woman...
Lin Xiner looked up and judging from her voice and figure, she must be one of the two people who met Leng Yanqiu at Wanjian Mound.
That night, the sky was dark, and Lin Xiner, who was hiding in the distance, did not see clearly the appearance of the two black figures. Even if they fought to take Leng Yanqiu away, they only took a quick glance and left no impression.
She heard Leng Yanqiu call her "Mu Ran".
Is she Leng Muran?
"Thank you for saving me, what should I call you?" Lin Xiner looked up at Leng Muran.
"Call me Muran." Leng Muran omitted the "Leng" surname for himself.
Lin Xiner nodded and said nothing.
"By the way, Mr. Leng has already removed the Poison Leng from your body, and asked Wuyou to go to Prince Xuan's Mansion to report the news." Leng Muran said again.
"Do you know my identity?" Lin Xiner asked curiously.
"Yes... Princess Xuan..." Leng Muran was slightly startled and said, "Mr. Leng told me the identity of the empress, but... I come from a small family and don't understand etiquette..."
"It's okay, don't you think I look like a princess?" Lin Xiner smiled.
She remembered that Leng Muran called Leng Yanqiu his brother, and that the poisoning of Ximen Jingxuan was also done by their Leng family, which meant that Leng Muran had already known Ximen Jingxuan deeply and had known about her as Princess Xuan.
But in front of Lin Xiner, Leng Muran avoided the title of brother, and used the name Leng Yanqiu to give the reason for knowing her, and she would not say that she had met Leng Muran before.
Both of them have secrets, and neither of them can be honest.
Lin Xiner was grateful to Leng Muran for bringing her to Leng Yanqiu, but she had to be wary of what she wanted to do with her.
