She gritted her teeth, her curled up body trembling, and the coldness instantly spread throughout her body, as if she was in a thousand-year-old cold pond.
The abdomen was cramped, as if millions of ants were gnawing at it.
At some point, the pain had spread throughout his body, and Lu Tianyun felt as if his body was no longer his own.
Xiu's brows were tightly furrowed, and her face was distorted.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
It’s cold, so cold!
Lu Tianyun's almond-shaped eyes gradually became blurred. He watched as the candlelight in the distance turned into several blurry afterimages. The round table, wooden chairs, and screen were all shattered and could not be pieced together to their original appearance.
The room suddenly spun around, and with a bang, everything turned to powder.
When Lu Tianyun woke up, there was a person standing at the head of the bed.
She was suddenly startled and instinctively shrank back into the couch.
"My Lady, you don't have to be afraid of me. I won't eat you." This person was Li Zhitao, the nanny assigned to Lu Tianyun by the empress dowager. She had been in the room since Lu Tianyun took the poison and she stayed there until Lu Tianyun woke up.
Li Zhitao pretended to be concerned about Lu Tianyun, "The county lady is feeling better now."
"Okay, I feel better." Lu Tianyun nodded, looking a little timid.
Li Zhitao took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and poured out a pill in his palm. "Please take this, my lady. This medicine can relieve the second wave of pain."
Lu Tianyun had already tasted the pain of the cold poison attack, and if a second wave came, her frail body wouldn't be able to withstand it. She took the pill, not suspecting anything, and put it in her mouth in front of Li Zhitao.
"Please take a good rest. I will take my leave now."
After watching Lu Tianyun swallow the pill, Li Zhitao bowed and retreated with satisfaction.
As soon as the person left, Lu Tianyun spat out the pill in his mouth.
She wiped the pill dry with a handkerchief, broke it in half, ate one half, and wrapped the other half in a handkerchief.
The Queen Mother had gone to the trouble of poisoning her to control her and to keep an eye on the movements of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. The pain-relieving pills she was given couldn't be fake, but there was no guarantee they weren't mixed with something else. What if they were poisoned...
Therefore, she had to be more careful.
She had to find a chance to check the ingredients of the remaining half of the pill to see if it contained any other poison.
The second wave of attacks came quickly, but was not as painful or cold as the first one.
But it still feels very uncomfortable.
After a full hour, the second wave of attacks finally ended.
Lu Tianyun felt weak all over and her eyelids drooped. She wanted to raise her arms, but she had no strength at all.
She slowly clenched her jade hands and her eyes became fierce.
Aunt, you want me to monitor the King of Qin. Sorry, I won’t do as you wish!
If you have any inappropriate thoughts about the King of Qin, your niece will have no choice but to become your enemy!
…
As April approaches, the Qin King's wedding is approaching.
The Lord of Lanling, who had traveled across mountains and rivers to attend the wedding, and the 'Miao Niangzi', known as the world's number one doctor, were also about to close the city.
On the path in the mountains outside the city, the trees are green and the weeds are endless.
A plain carriage was moving slowly. The driver was a middle-aged man wearing a hat to protect himself from the sun.
There were two women in the carriage.
A girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a goose-yellow skirt and with twin buns, had a pretty face. Her name was Mu Ling. She was the granddaughter of the previous Lanling City Lord and the nominal disciple of the current one, as well as the junior apprentice of Hua Fushu and Qin Youran.
The other woman was a stunning beauty, with a pair of signature almond-shaped eyes that arched slightly upwards, and a natural aura. She appeared very young, her true age difficult to discern.
The aura around her is very powerful, giving people a feeling of being a superior looking down on everyone, which is intimidating.
She is known as the world's miraculous doctor and the elusive Lord of Lanling City.
She is also the founder and leader of Qinhuai Mei Sect.
She was also a descendant of the Mei family, who were said to be gifted with extraordinary talents and whoever got them would conquer the world.
A breeze blew through the woods, and the driver smelled a different scent.
"Master." The driver stopped the carriage, "Someone is coming."
The Lanling City Lord inside the carriage said in a cold tone, "Deal with it cleanly, leaving no one alive."
"Yes." The driver said respectfully.
The driver jumped down with his sword in hand and pulled the cart, and a group of guys who dared not reveal their true masks swarmed over.
The driver brandished his sword with quick and decisive movements, each strike killing the enemy.
Soon, they were lying all over the ground, and the blood dyed the ground beneath them red.
The long sword in the driver's hand was dripping with blood, and drops of blood rolled down the tip of the sword, dripping through the soil.
"Master, it's solved."
"Keep going." The Lord of Lanling City said indifferently.
The driver sheathed his bloody sword and continued on his way.
In the woods not far away, Bai Xingjian stood on a tall tree branch, looking at the bloody scene in front of him.
"Godfather, all of our people are dead. The people in the car not only didn't make a move, they didn't even show their faces."
"Just a mere ant, is there any need for her to attack?" Bai Yanlang's words were icy. "This person doesn't attack easily, and once she does, there's no turning back."
Bai Xingjian flew down and landed on the ground. "She is the one you and the prince have been looking for."
The rumored descendant of the Mei family?
Bai Yanlang didn't say anything, taking it as his agreement.
"Foster father, that woman definitely didn't come to the capital just to attend the King of Qin's wedding banquet. I don't know how long she will stay in the capital. Our action failed this time. When will we take action next time?"
Bai Xingjian asked, "You said that woman's martial arts skills were unparalleled and unfathomable. The prince said that it would be difficult to capture her alive."
Bai Yanlang smiled sinisterly, "We don't need to make any plans for the next step. She will come to us. I'm looking forward to seeing her again, and she'll be looking forward to seeing me sooner too."
Bai Xingjian fully agreed with his adoptive father's idea. The Lord of Lanling City must be looking forward to meeting his adoptive father as soon as possible and taking his life as soon as possible.
He also looked forward to meeting the Lord of Lanling City next time so that he could know where his father, mother and brother were.
“Hehehe…”
Bai Yanlang suddenly laughed madly, with a hint of visible hatred in his eyes.
People say that when enemies meet, they become particularly jealous of each other, let alone an enemy who has not seen each other for many years?
Just like his junior sister, he is also like this.
Junior sister, you finally decided to kill me.
I want to see whether you kill me or I kill you.
"Godfather." Bai Xingjian felt inexplicably frightened.
"Let's go back."
Bai Yanlang strode forward.
Bai Xingjian followed his adoptive father. He didn't know why his adoptive father was laughing, but his adoptive father's days of laughing were almost over.
The Lord of Lanling City wanted to kill his adoptive father, and he had no intention of letting him go.
If his adoptive father had not taken him away, he would not have been separated from his parents and brother for so many years, and his whereabouts would not be known to this day.
If his adoptive father had not pushed him and hit his head, he would not have lost his childhood memories, and he would not have recognized a thief as his father for so many years.
By the time the carriage arrived in the capital, it was already completely dark, and the people who came to greet them had been waiting for more than two hours...
