Chapter 139: Relatives Forget Their Roots

After Emperor Wu of Qin took an antidote worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, the pain and itching in his body were relieved a lot, and he finally didn't have to suffer so much every moment.

Two hundred thousand taels per piece, although it was very expensive and painful, he still felt it was worth it.

But Concubine Li was not so lucky. She suffered torture day and night and could not even sleep at night. Her body was extremely itchy, but she did not dare to scratch for fear of damaging her skin, but if she did not scratch, the itch would be unbearable.

In just one or two days, he looked much more haggard.

Ever since she got the rash, Emperor Wu of Qin never summoned her again.

She always thought that Emperor Wu of Qin was too upset to care about her, and she could understand that.

But later I heard that Emperor Wu of Qin had obtained a precious antidote, and the pain and itching in his body had been greatly relieved, and even the rash had decreased a little.

She still felt very lost.

Concubine Li always thought that she was the most important person in Emperor Wu of Qin's heart, but now, that cognition has been shaken.

"Go, send someone to invite Dr. Baili to treat me!"

However, after sending people to invite him many times, Baili Qingyun ruthlessly refused.

He only told the little maid, "That antidote was left by my master. It is extremely precious, but there is only one. I currently don't have the ability to understand the composition of the medicine."

"However, this genius doctor will study it day and night. Please be patient, Your Majesty!"

A day later, the convoy returning to Beijing said goodbye to Mingyue Villa and continued on their journey.

Lin Pianran was still sitting in a carriage with the eldest princess.

The prince's carriage was still far behind the team.

The carriage continued to travel peacefully for three days until it reached a very narrow official road where only one carriage could pass.

There are towering mountains on both sides of the road, and no extra people.

As they approached a place called Linfeng Cliff, Lin Pianran's heart rose into his throat and he became more and more nervous.

She had already reminded Huo Yuchen that if someone set an ambush on the high mountains on both sides of the road and did something bad, the people below would have no choice but to passively take the beating.

When they were still a few kilometers away, Lin Pianran repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful.

At this time, it was already evening, and the team stopped and began to prepare dinner.

Huo Yuchen called Jingfeng and Jingyun and quietly arranged, "You two, each lead fifty Black Cloud Guards to explore the high mountains on both sides during the thick night. Kill anyone you see who is suspicious."

"Pian Pian is worried that someone will set up an ambush here and catch them in a trap."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lin Pianran saw the two people about to set off and walked over. "Each of your teams, bring a telescope and two small flashlights. Move carefully and bring everyone back safely!"

Finally, he took out a few bottles of medicine from his sleeve and gave them to the two of them.

The two accepted it happily.

They felt that the young lady was like an angel, beautiful, kind, and very considerate in her dealings with others.

The most important thing is to treat them as human beings, not tools for killing.

After seeing off the Black Cloud Guards, Lin Pianran sat by the fire, watching everyone busy themselves with cooking meat and porridge.

The firelight reflected on her beautiful little face, adding a touch of gentleness and cuteness.

She was talking to the eldest princess in a low voice, with a faint smile on her face.

Suddenly, Lin Pianran felt a sharp gaze directed at her.

When she raised her head, she met the murderous eyes of the Lady of the Duke of Song who was not far away, as if she wanted to torture her to death.

Lin Pianran pretended to be weak and shrank back, hiding her head in her cloak, looking very scared.

The wife of the Duke of Song had a gloomy face, but the corner of her mouth raised wickedly, and she snorted coldly, "Coward, you dare to harm my daughter? I will never let you go!..."

Huo Yuchen, who was standing beside her, turned his head and saw the Lady of the Duke of Song staring at Lin Pianran with ill intentions. He asked lightly, "Aunt, why are you staring at Pianran? She is just a weak little girl, don't scare her!"

"My father has finally found me a marriage. If you scare me away, I will go to my mother and have a good talk with her."

The threat is very obvious.

"You protect her very well, but she's just a poor little creature who looks good but has no family background or connections! What's so special about her?" Lady Song said disdainfully.

"Why? My aunt's family background is so good? She is just a commoner, not even as good as me!"

"Have you forgotten what you used to do? Now that you've stood up, you can look down on others with your arrogance?"

"Once you gain power and elevate your family to heaven, you forget everything you once did. Auntie really does forget her roots!"

"you......"

"I am your aunt, how can you speak to me like this?"

"I am the heir apparent of the Qin Dynasty. How dare you speak to me like that?"

The two of them were on edge and fell into a stalemate.

The wife of the Duke of Song was exposed, and all her dignity was gone. She was very unhappy and her face became even more gloomy and terrifying.

She didn't expect that Huo Yuchen, who was always a modest gentleman, would protect Lin Pianran so much.

When he encountered Lin Pianran's problem, he immediately stood up like a sharp hedgehog, stabbing her mercilessly with all his thorns erect.

He doesn't care about blood ties at all.

Duke Song quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Ziqiong, stop talking nonsense! Miss Lin has already been married to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and will be the Crown Princess in the future. How can you speak nonsense like that?"

"A hero's origins are not judged. Don't you understand this truth?"

"I think that girl is not only pretty, but also smart and clever. She's very good!"

Huo Yuchen was still relentless and aggressive, "Pianpian didn't do anything wrong. It was Baoqing who was wrong all along. She has been provoking and causing trouble for Pianpian again and again."

"I have already told you about this matter and asked her to restrain herself, but she conspired with outsiders to capture Pian Pian."

"I want to ask my aunt, do you take me seriously?"

"Does it mean you can act recklessly and trample on my dignity just because you've been in love with my mother since childhood?"

"This time, I didn't pursue the matter further because of our blood relationship. Otherwise, I could have destroyed the entire Duke of Song's Mansion based on Baoqing's actions. You should understand that I'm not exaggerating!"

"You all know that I am not favored by my father. If I continue to act on my own, I will weaken the power of my family. My father will be happy to see it happen."

These few words made Wei Ziqiong look extremely ugly. With a gloomy face, she hurriedly pulled the Duke of Song away without even performing the farewell ceremony between the monarch and his subject.

Lin Pianran watched their conversation and was still a little worried. She felt that the wife of Duke Song would not give up so easily.

But, I don’t know what other tricks she has up her sleeve.

The human heart is unpredictable. People who were once close to each other may end up going their separate ways.

Wei Ziqiong felt that he had already flown to the top and turned into a phoenix, and there was no need to act according to other people's wishes. So he shed his previous cautiousness and became arrogant.

This is completely different from the gentleness, generosity, courtesy and sensibility he showed in front of Queen Wei.
