Zhang You took the pill and said thank you softly.
She secretly looked at the pill in her hand.
Finally, she realized that since she started traveling with Qiao Er, Qiao Er would give her this kind of pill every night. Every time after taking it, she would sleep until dawn.
Before going to bed tonight, she was thinking about Niu Wazi and the others and forgot to eat. As a result, she woke up from a nightmare at night.
"We'll be going back in two hours, so I'd better not eat."
Zhang You put away the pill.
“Okay.
Actually, you don't have to be afraid. You'll get used to this kind of thing after seeing it so many times. For people like us from Dingbei Palace, as long as we follow the prince, this kind of thing is commonplace."
Mei Jiu rarely comforted Zhang You.
In fact, after Mei Jiu sat here for a while and talked to her, she had gradually forgotten what happened in the dream, but still retained a trace of fear from the dream.
She had never seen anything like it.
Some people experimented on innocent people, turning them into something neither human nor ghost.
No matter who they are, they have been forced to become this way.
Although Qiao Er can help them get rid of the poison, what will happen after the poison is gone?
It is true that they kill people, eat raw human flesh, and drink blood.
When they regained their composure, they recalled clearly what they had done.
His wife and children, friends from the same village, and merchants from afar all turned into meat in his mouth and bones on the ground.
To them, being awake is more like a form of torture...
"I know, I'll get used to it slowly."
Slowly adapt to this more direct world.
"Then I won't stay any longer. I'm going back. See you tomorrow."
As Mei Jiu spoke, his figure quickly climbed out the window and left, like a gust of wind, gently pushing the window against the window frame, making a creaking sound.
Zhang You couldn't help but smile as he watched her leave quietly without leaving a trace.
Mei Jiu said they would meet tomorrow, but she was a secret guard, so she could naturally see Zhang You, but Zhang You could not see her.
After laughing, Zhang You looked at the dark room and still felt a little scared.
She got up, lit the candle, closed the window, and lay quietly on the bed.
My mind was uncontrollably recalling what had happened during this period. I was tired of thinking and fell asleep unknowingly.
I just didn't sleep well.
Before daybreak, I was woken up by the sound of people packing their bags in the yard.
She simply got up and helped clean up.
When the first ray of sunlight shone down, Zhang You had almost finished cleaning up and she raised her head.
The sun slowly rises from between the distant mountains, casting a soft and warm golden light on the white snow.
The sun shines on the golden mountain.
Zhang You suddenly thought of this word.
Although such moments cannot be regarded as true golden sunshine.
But when the gentle golden light sprinkled on the vast snowfield and on the body that had been tense and not rested well all night, it seemed to have the same healing effect as the sun shining on the golden mountain.
It’s as if the light at this moment can sweep away all the misfortunes on my body and take away the fatigue in my heart.
After they packed their luggage, they said goodbye to the villagers and set off on their journey home.
They walked through the mountain village they had come from again.
No one lives here anymore.
After a short rest, they continued on their way back.
On the afternoon of the second day, when they were resting on the hill they had climbed over, a spy delivered a message to Qiao Er.
Not long after Qiao Er received the letter, he angrily tore up the paper.
Zhang You took the opportunity when she tore it up and threw it on the grass. He took a quick glance and saw that it read:
My dear disciple, I didn’t expect that you are the second lady of the Qiao family.
Since you have given me such a great gift, I will also give you one.
I used your mother and brothers and sisters to test the medicine.
…
There was some more content at the back, but it was torn and couldn't be seen clearly.
But I think it is the same provocative words as above.
"You bastard!"
Zhang You rarely saw Qiao Er scolding anyone.
There was intense anger in her eyes.
"Everyone, listen up! Speed up your return journey! You must get back to the mansion tonight!
Mei Jiu! Return home quickly and give the medicine according to this prescription to everyone in the mansion. First, control Mother and the others. I will return to remove the Gu from them tonight."
As she spoke, she handed Mei Jiu a piece of paper, then stood up and started to set off.
I didn't expect that she would care so much about the princess and the others.
Zhang You followed Qiao Er on the road, and she thought to herself as she saw Qiao Er's anxious look.
They were exhausted from the journey and none of them had time to rest. They finally arrived at the city gate at night.
The city gates are closed.
Qiao Er asked someone to show the token, and someone immediately opened the city gate and let them in.
They didn't dare to delay and rushed back home at full speed.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, they conducted a thorough investigation according to Qiao Er's instructions.
Zhang You followed Qiao Er all the way to the princess's residence.
The room was full of people. Qiao Er sternly ordered everyone not to disturb them, then took Zhang You in, closed the door, and began to deal with the princess's situation.
This was the first time Zhang You saw the princess up close.
She was wearing a midriff-baring dress, with her hair loose, sitting alone on the couch. Even her simple attire could not conceal her noble aura.
She looked so quiet that it was hard to believe that she was infected with that kind of poisonous insect.
No wonder when I first met Qiao Er, I felt that she was gentle and dignified. It turned out that she looked like a princess.
Zhang You secretly looked at her face.
Her face was calm, her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, her eyes were full of insight and sophistication, and her red lips were slightly parted.
"You're back."
