Chapter 319: Sowing Dissension
"You go, I'll do it myself!"
Murong Ce, "Are you sure? Do you know where to put more emphasis and where to lighten? Do you know the direction of the meridians and the location of the acupoints for martial artists?"
Qin Qingyao, "I don't know."
Mo Rongce, "Go take a rest!"
Dugu Yu reached out and tugged at Qin Qingyao's skirt. "I'm not full yet. I still want to eat eggs. Can you make me another bowl?"
Qin Qingyao knew that Dugu Yu wanted to get rid of her, and she just couldn't bear to watch it. "Okay, I'll be back soon."
As soon as she left the house, Murong Ce's expression changed immediately. Not only did he paint without restraint, he also painted without any rules, as if he was not satisfied with the painting she had just drawn and wanted to paint it all black.
What meridian direction, what acupoints, are all nonsense to deceive Qin Qingyao. There is no need to be so particular about applying medicine.
Wherever the medicine touched, Dugu Yu felt as if ten thousand ants were biting him, or as if someone was pricking him all over with embroidery needles one by one.
Finally, I felt like I was being pressed alive on a nail board, pierced all over, and then doused with kerosene and burning all over.
In general, it is very appropriate to describe the pain he felt at that moment as being skinned alive, brushed with chili oil and then roasted on the fire to describe it as one-tenth of the pain he felt at that moment.
He took several deep breaths in succession, and it was so painful that he almost died. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, "Murong Ce, do you have any opinion about me?"
"Opinions? No, but a few of the suggestions are true."
"I told you before to take in more concubines to increase your chances of becoming a father, but you didn't listen. Now the whole world knows that King Wu Ling is a useless man. Tsk tsk, no woman will be willing to marry you in the future."
Dugu Yu, "None of your business!"
He doesn't want another woman to marry him. He already has a princess. When will it be the turn of a bachelor to worry about his offspring?
Murong Ce, "She also knows that you have problems in that area. What did she say?"
Dugu Yu hugged the pillow in silence. Murong Ce continued, "Since you don't like her, don't hinder her future. It's already miserable for her not to be loved. If she can't even be a mother, what hope is there for her in life?"
"I don't like her?"
"Isn't it? Do you think you might like her? She's so shameless all the time, her language is vulgar and uneducated, and her handwriting is so ugly."
"Dugu's family rules? She dares to set them for you. How can you marry this woman? You are a prince. Shouldn't you marry a virtuous, gentle, generous, talented and beautiful lady from a noble family?"
"Haven't you ever gone out and inquired about Qin Qingyao's reputation? She's unruly, willful, and vicious. You've been married for so long, and you still managed not to beat her to death. It's truly a miracle!"
Dugu Yu, "Have you finished applying the medicine?"
Murong Ce said, "It's over."
"roll."
Murong Ce threw down the brush indifferently and turned away.
At the gate of the courtyard, I happened to meet Qin Qingyao who was walking over with steamed eggs in her hand. "Have you finished applying the medicine?"
"Well, it's over. I've given the prescription to Doctor Hu. Before going to bed tonight, use white wine to wash off the unabsorbed medicine from his body, then replace it with a new one. After a good night's sleep, maybe he'll be able to get out of bed tomorrow."
"Is it so magical?" She thought Dugu Yu would have to spend at least half a month in bed.
Murong Ce curled his lips and smiled, "Of course, don't you see who I am?"
Murong Ce's confidence really made Qin Qingyao feel at ease. "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. We're friends, aren't we?"
"Yes! Um... I have something else I want to ask you."
"you say."
"After someone who has been poisoned by the Thousand Days Drunk regains their memory, will they forget everything that happened during the time they were poisoned?"
Murong Ce said with amusement, "Of course not. Otherwise, why would the first swordsman who was struck by the Thousand Days Drunk commit suicide after regaining his memory?"
"Yeah, that makes sense!"
Murong Ce suddenly came up to Qin Qingyao and asked with narrowed eyes, "Are you afraid that he will forget you again?"
Qin Qingyao took a half step back and shook her head a little embarrassedly, "No, I'm just worried there might be any sequelae."
"Actually...Qin Qingyao, have you ever thought about leaving Dugu Yu?"
"I haven't thought about it."
Murong Ce, "..."
"Such a stubborn and boring man, who only knows how to fight and kill all day long, what on earth is there in him that is worth your unwavering devotion to him? Besides, he is also sick, and he may never be able to give you a child."
"Look at yourself. You're young, pretty, smart, and cute. Wouldn't it be better to leave him and start a new life as soon as possible? Why do you have to hang yourself on this tree? I really can't bear it."
Qin Qingyao nodded. "Then what kind of man do you think I should find to start a new life with?"
Murong Ce, "The world is so big, there are so many good men, and there is one right in front of me!"
"In front of me?"
Murong Ce casually threw a strand of hair on his shoulder behind him. Just as he was about to nod, he was suddenly pulled back by someone. Then Wu Cheng with a dark face appeared in front of Qin Qingyao.
"Princess, the eggs are getting cold."
Qin Qingyao nodded, "Wu Cheng is indeed a good man."
Wu Cheng's body stiffened. If the prince heard this, wouldn't he be dead?
"But he already has Xin'er, so I'd better continue to stay with Dugu Yu!"
After Qin Qingyao finished speaking, she took the eggs and left. Wu Cheng turned around and looked at Murong Ce with a look that looked as if he might be crushed to death at any moment. "Military Advisor, do you want to go out by yourself, or do you want me to take you out?"
Murong Ce rolled his eyes and ignored Wu Cheng, then walked away.
This aloof look made it seem as if the person who had just been talking nonsense and trying to sow discord in front of Qin Qingyao was not him at all.
After Qin Qingyao entered the room, she found that Dugu Yu on the bed was moving around uncomfortably. She put the egg down and walked over to take a look. He was soaked in sweat all over, even the quilt was wet.
"What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Dugu Yu, "It's okay, it's okay."
"Why don't we just wipe off Murong Ce's medicine and use Doctor Hu's instead."
"No, I can bear it. Compared to lying on the bed unable to move, it doesn't matter if it's a hundred times more uncomfortable."
You said it so easily, but you were obviously in so much pain that your whole body was shaking!
"So what can I do for you?"
"Stay with me."
"good."
Dugu Yu lay on the bed all day. Qin Qingyao didn't go anywhere. She stayed with him all the time, singing and telling him jokes to distract him and coax him to sleep.
During lunch, the housekeeper took advantage of Qin Qingyao not being with Dugu Yu to come over and report to her, "Princess, someone from the clan office came to tell her that His Royal Highness Prince Duan wants to see you."
"Prince Duan? Why would he want to see me? Does the Emperor allow anyone to see him?"
"I don't know the details of this, but the messenger claimed to be sent by Lord Qin. If Princess is willing to go, Lord Qin should be able to make arrangements."
"Brother? Did he say when?"
"The sooner the better."
The sooner the better? It seemed Ling Jingxuan must have something important to tell her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to convince her eldest brother to drag her into this mess.
Since my elder brother has already sent someone to pass on the message, he must want me to go see Ling Jingxuan. Maybe there is something important.
"Then send someone to the Qin family and ask them to find a way to pass on a message to my eldest brother, saying that I will be there tomorrow morning."
"yes!"
In the evening, after Qin Qingyao washed off the medicinal liquid on Dugu Yu's body with white wine, she found that the swelling of his legs was obviously much less than in the morning. Even the color was no longer the scary dark purple, but turned into purple-red. At least it looked much better.
"Although Murong Ce sometimes acts like a lunatic and does whatever he wants, I have to say that his medical skills are truly amazing."
When Dugu Yu heard Qin Qingyao praising Murong Ce, he felt very uncomfortable, "I don't like him."
"What? Why don't you like him? Aren't you brothers?"
"Yes, brother, but I hope he stays away."
"Why?"
Dugu Yu, "I suspect he might like you!"
Qin Qingyao, "..."
What a coincidence, I also think he is a homosexual, and he likes you!
"Where did you start to suspect that he liked me?"
"He always says bad things about you in front of me, asking me to divorce you. But in fact, he is just eyeing you with bad intentions, thinking I don't know!"
Qin Qingyao clenched her fists and ground her teeth, Damn Murong Ce, don’t let me see you again!
The next morning, Dugu Yu changed the medicine and went to sleep. He had been in so much pain that he couldn't sleep before. After using Murong Ce's cruel method for a whole day and night, he was finally able to sleep peacefully. Maybe, he would really be able to walk around tomorrow.
While Dugu Yu was asleep, Qin Qingyao hurried to the clan residence and met Ling Jingxuan under Qin Yuefeng's arrangement.
Although Ling Jingxuan has lost a lot of weight, he still looks meticulous and noble, without any trace of vicissitudes of life or decadence.
He asked Qin Qingyao a very simple and straightforward question, "Do you have any way to rescue me?"
Ling Jingxuan said a lot, analyzing that Ling Jingyu was not fit to be an emperor based on his character, ability, etc. Once he ascended the throne, he would definitely be an arrogant and blind emperor, and the people of the world would suffer.
Qin Qingyao felt truly powerless. "I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Duan, you really overestimate me. You know better than me how likely it is for someone imprisoned in the Imperial Clan House to escape."
"Have you forgotten why you were imprisoned? Do you think the emperor would allow you to leave here? No matter what the reason or method?"
Ling Jingxuan, "I don't know, so you are my only hope. I know you always have a way. Even if it's not for me, even for the people of the world, you should stop Ling Jingyu, right?"
Qin Qingyao shook her head. "I'm just an ordinary person, very ordinary. I'm selfish and cowardly. I don't have a broad mind. I don't care who becomes the emperor, or whether Zhao Ling will be destroyed tomorrow!"
"So please don't hold out hope for me. I can't afford it!"
