By the time Sheng Nuan finally woke up, the medicinal effect of the colorful mushrooms had worn off.
I don't know if it was because of the colorful mushrooms or something else... Her whole body was sore and her heart was numb.
The ribbon was still at hand, and beside her, Yingxue held her in one hand and was sleeping soundly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, looking very happy.
Sheng Nuan was filled with complicated feelings. She slowly sat up, gathered her clothes, and then reached out... The ribbon climbed from her wrist to Yingxue's neck, and then began to tighten on its own. Sheng Nuan took a step back and disappeared in front of him...
In the blink of an eye, she returned to the side hall where the magic mirror was. The mirror had returned to normal, and she could not see the situation in the wooden house.
Magic Mirror said that his power was limited and he could not connect now, so Sheng Nuan turned around and left.
No need to look, customer service is paying attention to the cabin.
After a while, the customer service reminded: "Host, Yingxue fainted... The power of the ribbon was exhausted and it let go."
really.
Sheng Nuan hummed and returned to his palace.
She disappeared for several hours. When she returned to the palace, Sophie hurriedly greeted her with worried eyes: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
If the queen hadn't warned her in advance, Sophie might have been tempted to go find the guards.
Sheng Nuan replied that she was fine, and then walked to the bathtub to take a bath.
Feeling sticky and uncomfortable...
But when she took off her clothes and prepared to get into the water, she discovered that the mottled marks on her body were shocking.
No guarantee for late holidays!
So depraved!
Sheng Nuan sighed silently and soaked herself in the bathtub... The maids next to her lowered their heads and sprinkled flower petals and poured essential oil into the water, not daring to look at her.
Only Sophie, the personal maid, was shocked. She then approached and asked in a worried voice: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Do you need to call the guards to protect you?"
Sheng Nuan waved his hand: "It's okay."
At that time, she was a little dizzy because of the colorful mushrooms. She didn’t even know if that little kid was a dog. He was chewing randomly!
Also, was he hallucinating due to poisoning, or did he really recognize her?
Sheng Nuan was thinking about this problem. At this time, Sophie next to him suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty the Queen, I heard something. It has not been spread yet, but I think you should know about it."
Sheng Nuan raised her eyes: "What?"
Sophie whispered: "A demon appeared on the outskirts of the royal city. A farmer and his wife were bitten to death and their blood was sucked. The city defense department is investigating. I heard it from a friend."
Drain the blood?
Sheng Nuan quickly asked the customer service what was going on, and the customer service went to check. After a moment, he said in a solemn tone: "The host is the dead emperor Stephen."
Sheng Nuan was stunned: "Stephen?"
The emperor who was the only one who fit the characteristics of a fairy tale and died in a very careless manner came back to life and became a monster again?
Needless to say, the customer service staff had already hurriedly checked the data. After a while, Sheng Nuan knew everything about Stephen.
It turns out that Stephen is not Yingxue's father, to be precise, he is Yingxue's great-grandfather.
That great-grandfather married a witch many years ago, and then designed to acquire the witch's abilities and kill the witch.
He relies on blood-sucking to maintain his witchcraft, and then uses witchcraft to take the bodies of people who are related to him...
The customer service also told Sheng Nuan about Stephen’s weakness: he is afraid of silverware.
After taking a bath, Sheng Nuan asked people to find Snow, who was in charge of city defense.
When Snow came in, he saw the queen in formal clothes with her hair disheveled. Thinking that she might have just taken a bath, her Adam's apple moved and she blushed. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"
"
Sheng Nuan went straight to the topic: "What's going on with the blood-sucking incident in the suburbs?"
After hearing this, Snow immediately straightened his expression: "Back to Your Majesty, a blood-sucking attack did occur on a farm on the outskirts of the city. The third-party footprints found at the crime scene belong to humans, but the victim was indeed drained of all his blood.
, we...have not been able to find any clues yet."
After a pause, Snow whispered: "A priest claimed that the attacker was not actually a human being, but a demon. However, demons have not appeared in the Kingdom of Leon for hundreds of years. The adults did not believe it and thought that someone was deliberately doing evil.
.”
Sheng Nuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. From today on, you will ask all the guards to carry silver weapons for protection, and tell the people to prepare silverware at home to ward off evil spirits."
Because Stephen was hiding in the mountains and forests on the outskirts and could not locate his location, Sheng Nuan could only ask Snow to take strict precautions, especially those who entered the royal city.
Snow immediately respectfully accepted the order.
After he finished talking about the business, he was a little reluctant to leave. He was trying hard to find a topic when his eyes accidentally caught sight of the queen's neck, and he suddenly froze there.
He saw the ambiguous red marks inadvertently revealed after the long hair moved.
Snow's face changed slightly and she pursed her lips: "Your Majesty the Queen."
After Sheng Nuan explained the matter and was about to ask him to leave, she saw that Snow's expression changed. She was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Snow looked at her steadily, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Has anyone offended Your Majesty?"
Sheng Nuan frowned, and then heard the customer service say quietly: "I saw the strawberries on your neck."
She was speechless for a moment, then straightened her face: "Snow, you have gone too far... My affairs are not your business."
The young man immediately knelt down, but still kept his back straight, looked straight at her, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and willing to sacrifice everything for you...including my soul and body."
Sheng Nuan was stunned for a moment and couldn't laugh or cry.
These little brats grew up on whatever they ate, and all of them have huge appetites...
"I am your elder!"
Sheng Nuan straightened her expression, looked at Snow, and said word by word: "It's best to put away your thoughts that you shouldn't have, you know?"
The queen looked down at him from above and said without any room for error: "Snow, you will always be a respectful junior and a loyal subordinate. This is the only way."
After saying that, she waved her hand: "Step back."
Snow's face was pale, but he didn't dare to say anything. He stood up, feeling a little lost and resigned and left...
Although he was a little disappointed, he carried out everything arranged by the queen very well.
Soon, all the soldiers in the royal city were equipped with silver weapons, and the common people also hung silverware in every house to ward off evil spirits.
The next few days were uneventful.
For Sheng Nuan, it was time for her to persecute "Snow White" for the second time.
After getting the poisonous comb from the magic mirror, Sheng Nuan entered the dark forest through the mirror just like last time...
