Chapter 399 Jade Dew Pill
"What is this?" Hu Xin'er was a little confused.
Yin Li lowered his eyes, his expression unclear in the shadows, but his tone was gentle: "There are three Jade Dew Pills in here, which I made specially for you to protect your pregnancy."
He took out a pill from the jade box and asked Hu Xiner to take it.
Jade Dew Pills? Hu Xin'er's face was still pale. Although she did need medicine to nourish the fetus, she was a little hesitant at this moment: "Is this something precious?"
Based on past experience, the things that Yin Li could produce were not ordinary items. Whether it was a green bamboo brush or an inkstone... they had helped Hu Xiner a lot, and she felt embarrassed to take advantage of him too much.
Yin Li glanced at her and chuckled, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to pay it back."
Hu Xin'er touched her abdomen and said, "I feel much better now. I probably won't need this anymore. You can keep it for yourself."
Yin Li frowned: "Why should I keep the stuff to preserve the pregnancy? Besides, it's already done. If you don't keep it, its medicinal properties will gradually disappear and it will be wasted!"
Hu Xiner wanted to refuse, but he showed an impatient look, and he pressed some acupoints, which made Hu Xiner unable to move.
He reached out and pinched her face, forcing her to open her mouth, then threw the pill directly into her mouth.
The pill made her salivate, and by the time Hu Xiner realized what was happening, she had already swallowed it.
Yin Li closed the jade box again and pushed it to Hu Xin'er: "Take the remaining two pills in here too!"
He was clearly doing good things, but he still looked fierce, as if he was afraid that others would see through his intentions.
Hu Xin'er was helpless: "You..."
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that after taking the pill, she felt much better and the pain and fatigue in her body were relieved.
The effect is so obvious, and we still don’t know what rare medicine it is made of.
Yin Li said that he was angry with her and didn't care about her anymore, but when they were apart, he was secretly fiddling with these things.
He even showed up in time when Hu Xiner was in trouble. It can be seen that although he is no longer guarding Hu Xiner like before, he is also paying close attention to the news here.
In fact, if he got angry directly, Hu Xiner might feel better.
But she felt even more guilty about his foolish insistence on being nice to her.
Seeing that she was about to refuse again, Yin Li hid her hands in her sleeves and said fiercely, "You have always been an unstable woman, rushing into danger day after day. If I hadn't come here today, who knows how much suffering this child would have endured. Don't even think about returning the Jade Dew Pill to me. This Pavilion Master will not accept it!"
Seeing his resolute attitude, Hu Xin'er had no choice but to accept it. "I always feel uneasy when you treat me like this. How about this? I'll give you 30% of the shop's shares! It's not much, but it's all compensation."
Yin Li's expression turned hostile upon hearing this. "I can't do much for you anyway, and yet you're being so distant with me? If I really come to collect the debt, I won't be able to pay it back even if I sell you two!"
Hu Xiner subconsciously held her purse tightly, then smiled awkwardly.
Seeing her greedy look, Yin Li curled the corners of her lips slightly, and then said directly: "Okay, don't talk about this anymore, let's go out now, if you dawdle any longer, your precious husband might really meet with an accident!"
Although Hu Xiner had a miscarriage, her discomfort improved a lot after taking the medicine, and she also felt stronger.
But it is definitely impossible to walk as freely as before, or even rush out at Yin Li's speed.
Yin Li put the folding fan at her waist and helped her walk out.
As he watched the two people leave, Lu Yunjue did not move.
Hu Xin'er turned around and said, "Yun Jue, come out with us! Your brothers and the others miss you very much."
Lu Yunjue shook his head: "Sister-in-law, I can't show up at this time."
"Why?" Hu Xin'er was a little surprised.
Lu Yunjue's face beneath the mask seemed to smile. Unlike his previous self-consciousness and shrinking expression, his eyes were now filled with gentleness. "The appearance of two Lu Yunjues will make it difficult for everyone to fully trust my brother, and this will disrupt the situation. If the Crown Prince and Liu Se seize the opportunity, they will be able to turn the tables. So it's best for me to stay here."
Hu Xiner's heart sank. It turned out that he knew everything.
When Taoist Master Yiqing saved the Lu family and confirmed that Lu Yunjue was dead, he agreed with Jiang Yao to replace Mu Qing's face.
From then on, the amnesiac Mu Qing replaced Lu Yunjue's identity and lived in the Lu Mansion.
Hu Xiner didn't ask where Lu Yunjue was put, but she thought that he should have been buried properly after finding a cemetery.
However, Lu Yunjue, who should have been buried, was resurrected by Liu Se using the power of a mysterious poisonous insect, and has since become Liu Se's shadow.
I wonder how Lu Yunjue felt when he found out that he had come back to life?
How did he endure the first time he was abused by Liu Se and suffered inhuman pain?
Will he regret it? Why hasn't he secretly contacted the Lu family all these years? Is he being controlled by someone?
There is another suspicious point here, that is, Liu Se has been imprisoned in the dungeon for many years. Who sent Lu Yunjue to Liu Se?
Liu Se had been imprisoned underground for many years and his mind had become somewhat disturbed. He had tortured Lu Yunjue, who had been the most dazzling young man in the capital, into the gloomy and humiliated man he is today.
Hu Xiner couldn't bear to think about it anymore. In fact, Mu Qing was in critical condition on the ground, and she didn't have time to ask Lu Yunjue about his experience. Perhaps, she was not the most suitable person to ask.
She followed Yin Li and rushed to the ground level through the passage in the study, but when they returned to the ground level, she found that the courtyard was eerily quiet.
When I entered the basement just now, I could still hear the fighting in the front yard, but now it is quiet. It seems that no matter who wins or loses, the situation has temporarily calmed down.
But Hu Xin'er became inexplicably more nervous. She didn't know what the situation would be like, nor was she sure who the emperor would believe.
When she arrived at the front yard, the scene was completely different from what she had imagined.
The emperor stood in the courtyard, facing Liu Se.
Liu Se didn't run away, but confronted the emperor?
Hu Xin'er was shocked and suspicious.
The injured guests in front and the archers on the wall disappeared.
The prince stood alone nearby, seemingly injured.
Mu Qing stood with Lu's mother and Jiang Yao, with a look of vigilance between his brows.
Duke Xuanyuan's face was solemn.
Apart from them, there was no one else in the yard.
If there weren't bloodstains still on the ground, Hu Xiner would never have imagined that this place was a river of blood and corpses were everywhere.
