Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Seeing her silence, ...
Seeing her silence, Li Daoxuan said: "Since there is no evidence, don't ask unnecessary questions. In short, no one dares to hurt you in my Cangwang Mansion, so just stay here." He knew what was important and what was not, and even if the person in front of him was someone he liked, he would not tell important things casually.
Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal any information, Chen Qing felt that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. For this reason, she was not very anxious. She glanced at him and immediately pulled the quilt over to cover herself tightly.
The guy thought she was angry, and after a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and said nothing.
The red candle had shed all its tears, and the flame went out with a puff. The whole house was instantly swallowed up by darkness, and the silence was terrifying.
.
A dreamless night.
When Chen Qing opened her eyes, it was just daybreak. She subconsciously looked up, but saw that the bed curtains looked completely unfamiliar. She subconsciously put up her guard and pinched the hairpin hidden under her pillow.
When her eyes fell on the couch, she seemed to realize that she was already married, and Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but the breath was lifted up again halfway through.
The person who was originally meditating on the couch had long disappeared, the room was empty, and the burned-out red candle on the candlestick had been replaced with a new one.
"Cui Ya?" The room was empty and no one responded to her.
At this time in the past, Cui Ya would have hurried in with hot water, but today no one answered her, and no one even knew when Li Daoxuan left.
Chen Qing was filled with confusion. She got out of bed, slipping on her embroidered shoes, and opened the door. It was a rainy day, with dark, overcast clouds that seemed to threaten to crush the small courtyard. For some reason, Chen Qing felt as if she was being suffocated by the strange weather.
She walked out of the house in her snow-white nightgown and found that there was no one in the yard.
At this moment, a strange sound came to her ears, dull and heavy, like the sound of iron knocking on wood. Chen Qing subconsciously followed the sound and turned around the corridor in the courtyard. She saw a young man in red concentrating on tying the wooden swing seat under a tree. After tying it, he knocked on the base with the handle of Qiu Ren sword, as if to confirm its sturdiness.
After confirming it, he seemed very satisfied, and the corners of his lips curled back.
When he turned around, his eyes happened to meet Shen Qing's.
As soon as he saw the girl standing under the corridor, his eyes immediately lit up. Li Daoxuan strode towards her and said, "You didn't even tell me when you woke up." His voice was as soft as if mixed with honey, for fear of disturbing the dazed person in front of him.
Li Daoxuan walked closer and lowered his eyes to see that she was still wearing embroidered shoes. He immediately bent down and held her slender ankle with his large and warm palm.
He raised his head, took her white and soft wrist and put it on his shoulder, "You'an, lift your feet." He put on her shoes for her, his posture was very low and his movements were slow. Such a noble master was doing such a condescending job.
Chen Qing's eyes widened in disbelief once again. Before she could recover from his intoxicatingly gentle attitude, her body suddenly felt weightless. Li Daoxuan gently picked her up and walked towards the swing under the shade of the trees.
He was like a large, untamed dog, holding her tightly in his arms and rubbing his furry head against the crook of her neck, wishing he could become one with her.
Chen Qing kept telling herself in her heart that the love poison was taking effect, but her body subconsciously rejected his overly intimate actions.
She frowned and said, "Put me down." The temperature of his palm was unusually high, as if it would melt her waist.
He didn't listen and carried her to the swing. He was behind her, with one arm around her waist, gently rocking the swing.
"You'an, I made a swing overnight. Take a look. Do you like it?" His words were full of praise. The smile on his lips was like the warmth of spring, but it seemed out of place in this damp environment, making people feel uneasy.
It was too close, and the feeling was completely different from yesterday's kiss.
Chen Qing didn't know what had suddenly gone wrong with him, and tried her best to get rid of the strange feeling in her heart. She wanted to pry his hands apart, but although he seemed gentle, he was actually very strong and stubborn, and she couldn't pry his hands apart from her waist at all.
Chen Qing said, "Li Daoxuan, you're making me uncomfortable. Let go. I want to go back to the house and wash my face."
When Li Daoxuan heard this, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes. If he had ears, they would have drooped down in disappointment by now. "Youan, call me Ah Man."
Chen Qing didn't want to argue with him, so she simply got off the swing and walked into the house forcefully.
However, the hand on her waist was very noticeable. As soon as he realized her intention, he grabbed her, picked her up, and brought her into the house.
Before leaving, he glanced at the swing and said, "Since You'an doesn't like it, then don't have it."
After he finished speaking, a bright light appeared, and the swing was split into two parts by his sword, and the body was instantly lying in the courtyard.
Chen Qing looked at the shattered body of the swing and thought: What is this? This also triggered his hidden mad dog attribute?
She struggled decisively, trying to get off the ground, but what she got in return was his tightening grip and a kiss on her forehead, "Youan, stop it."
The kiss made her whole body tremble, and she instantly realized: this damn love Gu was not what she imagined at all!
Chen Qing just wanted to get away quickly, knowing that the more she struggled, the tighter he would hold her, so she simply gave up struggling and let him do whatever he wanted.
Li Daoxuan carried her into the house, but seeing that hot water had been turned on at some point, he almost forcefully and without any refusal, washed her face and wiped her hands. He even did such a private thing as rinsing her mouth without hesitation.
It's not that Chen Qing hasn't thought about refusing, but the result of resisting is that he will hold her in his arms and she will be unable to move.
The extremely tiring process was finally over. He brought her to the mirror again and combed her hair with a nanmu comb. He took the hair and twisted it with his knuckles. His movements were familiar and honed through thousands of times.
Chen Qing looked through the bronze mirror and saw the burning eyes of the person behind him, which were full of undisguised obsession and a terrifyingly strong possessive desire.
She was keenly aware of it and felt something was wrong, so she asked, "Where did Cui Ya and the others go?"
Li Daoxuan: "I sent them away. Don't worry, no one will disturb us here."
Chen Qing: "What do you mean by not disturbing?"
Li Daoxuan paused, slowly put down the wooden comb, hooked his hands around her waist, and lightly touched the top of her soft hair with the tip of his nose. "Only I can stay with you, no one else can." After saying that, without giving her time to think, he hooked his hands under her smooth jaw, aimed at her rosy lips, and leaned over to kiss them.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Shen Qing had no time to react, and she did not expect him to be so straightforward and unrestrained.
Before Chen Qing could be surprised, he reached out and covered her eyes, as if he didn't want to see anything else in her eyes that would make him sad.
Li Daoxuan didn't know how long he endured it. He hugged her tightly and said, "You said last night that I'm not as good as others. Youan, I'm so jealous, I'm so jealous." Even though he could tell from her immature response that she was lying, he still felt uncomfortable, as if his heart was split in two by an axe.
He bit her fragile lips lightly, but halfway through, the strength turned into reluctance and he turned to licking with his lips and tongue.
Chen Qing felt as if she had been electrocuted, and a dense numbing sensation appeared at the corners of her lips. This numbing sensation spread along the flesh and blood around her lips, flowed through her whole body, and suddenly rushed into the bone crevices with a speed faster than the speed of lightning.
The sudden scent of grass and trees permeated her and instantly overwhelmed her. She wanted to struggle and curse, but in the end, she could only feel the same as last night, her limbs weak and her consciousness heavy, as if she was wrapped in an extremely safe, warm and relaxing hiding place.
She lost her ability to resist in such a confused manner.
He stretched out his tongue and licked the gap between her moist lips, paying careful attention to every tiny part, very devoutly. The dangerous dark color, like aiming at prey, was hidden under his ink-stained eyelashes.
When his love reached its peak, he lifted the hand covering her eyes, but saw a pair of clear, dull watery eyes, like a bewildered deer in the woods, staring at him blankly.
There was no disgust, no resistance, only a blank and ignorant look. A trace of despicable and mean joy spread in his eyes. He was afraid that she would wake up at this moment and show her bad side to him again. He surrendered to her without hesitation, licked her teeth with his lips and tongue, and used all he had learned in his life to beg and please her.
Even the big hand around her waist moved freely, but there was no next step for a long time.
Both of them were inexperienced in matters of love and could only rely on their own half-ignorant groping.
He instinctively and naturally put his arm around her waist, then with a wave of his hand, he swept everything off the table. With a crackling sound, he instantly carried her to the mirror table, level with him.
Li Daoxuan forced her knees apart and moved closer to her.
Just as he was about to kiss her again, Chen Qing was suddenly awakened by the sound of some debris falling to the ground.
She reached out to cover his mouth, and Li Daoxuan's eyes darkened and he pulled her wrist.
The loose sleeves quickly slipped off, and he lowered his head to kiss her inner elbow. His warm breath hit her thin skin, causing her tailbone to tingle.
The rich scent of plants and trees was almost pungent, and was bound to pull Chen Qing back into the ups and downs of the sea of desire.
She tried her best to resist, gritted her teeth, and bit down hard.
A sharp pain shot into her brain, like a sharp knife splitting her confused brain.
Finally coming to her senses, Shen Qing pursed her lips and slapped him hard in the face in dissatisfaction.
“Snap—”
The huge noise finally woke them up completely.
Li Daoxuan raised his head and wanted to pull her hand away, "Does it hurt?"
Chen Qing had no doubt that if he pulled her, he would probably come up to her like a vicious dog and lick and kiss her. A chill ran down her spine, and she pushed him away again, "Go away! Bad dog!"
The vicious dog felt deeply wronged, its peach-shaped eyes fixed on him, a touch of a passionate crimson at the corners. Beneath its innocent expression lay a restless eagerness, as if searching for the next opportunity to snatch its prey and hold it captive. The fierce aggression in his eyes, directed directly at him, sent a chill through his body.
Chen Qing thought: No, it’s totally wrong!
The Li Daoxuan she imagined should be an obedient dog whose heart and eyes only had her and who would not resist him, instead of the paranoid, disobedient, and mad dog that only went in heat towards her!
Chen Qing instantly felt like she was being badly deceived. The letter clearly said that as long as she fed him the love Gu herself, he would become the person she was satisfied with. But now, it was completely different from what the letter said.
She had never imagined that she would be so intimate with him, let alone be entangled with his body fluids, and even nearly...
Thinking of this, he seemed to sense her slackness and secretly moved closer, his throat rolling violently, as if he was looking for the right moment to prepare for attack.
Shen Qing was keenly aware of this, and she pushed her shoulder again, but failed to move her.
"Go away!"
The feeling of a foreign object between her legs was so strong that Shen Qing just wanted to push him away and change into a clean skirt that had not been touched by a dog!
However, the dog was not obedient at all. Instead, it squeezed closer to her. He said pitifully, "You'an, I feel uncomfortable." But there was no pity in his eyes.
Shen Qing frowned, “I’m not feeling well, stay away from me.”
It was just a casual remark, but he suddenly panicked and said helplessly, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Chen Qing immediately caught the abnormality, and she softened her voice tentatively and said, "You are making me uncomfortable."
As soon as he finished speaking, he really retreated in a hurry and carried her down.
Chen Qing said aggrievedly: "Your body is stiff and it's uncomfortable to hold me. I want to walk by myself."
She got what she wanted.
Chen Qing seemed to have discovered a way to train a dog.
As long as he showed the slightest bit of his strong side, she would just cry out in discomfort or show weakness, and he would also become weak. For example, now, as soon as he came close to her, she would say, "It's uncomfortable, it stinks, stay away from me."
He immediately moved away and was now hiding in the side room to bathe and cleanse himself.
Chen Qing thought of the culprit who had caused her to lose the ability to resist, and she asked, "What kind of perfume do you usually wear?"
His voice, blurred by water, came out, "I don't wear perfume."
"Where's the fragrance?"
"Don't wipe it either."
"Then..." She was about to ask, but was interrupted by him, "Youan, I don't wear any perfume."
“…”
That's strange.
This fragrance seemed to have been there since the two first met, but it became stronger as they spent more time together.
Ever since this damn love poison was planted, the scent of plants and trees has become even stronger, penetrating almost everywhere like mist, and even making her lose the ability to resist.
It is comparable to the legendary "aphrodisiac fragrance".
Chen Qing suspected that it might be related to the love insect. She felt that she needed to go find the woman who gave her the insect.
Thinking of this, she put on a set of Hu clothing. The things on the table were swept to the ground by him and became dirty. She searched elsewhere and when she opened a box, she saw two light pink silk ribbons.
The silk ribbon was very familiar to her, and the two bells at the end were even more familiar. They were sewn for her by her mother herself.
When they were in Yuanchun Tower, she asked him where the silk ribbon was, but he said he lost it. But now she found it here.
Beneath the silk ribbon was a handkerchief with a small magnolia embroidered on the corner, a unique symbol of her handkerchiefs. She had many such handkerchiefs and could not remember when she had lost this one.
Shen Qing slowly suppressed her beating heart, and she was surprised to find that she seemed to have discovered a secret.
Perhaps, Li Daoxuan had fallen in love with her even earlier, or perhaps, his love for her was far greater than she imagined.
There were two sounds of water coming from the side room, and Shen Qing suddenly woke up. She immediately closed the box and found a red hairband from somewhere else to tie her hair.
Chen Qing tiptoed out of the door. During this time, she thought about looking for Cui Ya, but in the huge palace, she was only familiar with Li Daoxuan's courtyard and didn't know any other roads at all.
So Chen Qing looked for the tree where the swing was hung. She carefully walked around the body of the swing, jumped up along the trunk lightly, climbed to the top of the wall, and jumped down again.
What she didn't see was that a very thin, black little snake had been waiting at the treetop for a long time. When she climbed to the top of the tree, the little snake quietly spit out its tongue and crawled to her waist and hung there like an inconspicuous ornament.
Chen Qing was completely unaware of all this. She followed a rarely traveled path and found her way to a Hu residence.
This Hu residence is extremely secluded, almost hidden in the bustling city, and rarely has visitors.
Even if there are customers, they are the ones who come here because they know the ins and outs of the place.
She opened the door curtain, and the wind chimes at the door immediately made a crisp sound, and the wooden stairs immediately began to tap. A woman in cool clothes and with a deep face walked down from the second floor. She seemed sleepy, and there was still some sleepiness in her eyes.
"Who are you? What are you buying? I don't sell anything here anymore." She asked in a strange accent.
She had waist-length golden curly hair, a high nose bridge, sunken eye sockets, a pair of deep blue eyes, and a face that could be considered beautiful. All signs indicated that she was a Hu Ji who had moved to Chang'an.
There were many foreign Hu people living in Chang'an City, so her appearance was not surprising.
Shen Qing said: “I’m not buying anything, I’m coming to you.”
The Hu Ji's eyes widened immediately.
Because Shen Qingcao was talking to her in fluent Hu dialect.
She seemed extremely shocked that there were Han people who could speak, or were willing to speak, the Hu language. She saw that the person in front of her was delicate and exquisite. Although she was wearing Hu clothes, it was obvious that she was a bright and exquisite young lady.
She leaned forward with great curiosity, exclaiming repeatedly, "Oh, this lady is absolutely the most beautiful Han Chinese I have ever seen! Your eyes are like the most beautiful glass amber!"
She then asked, "Can I ask who you learned your Hu language from?"
In response to her series of flattery, Chen Qing replied with one sentence: "I don't understand."
Hu Ji's face drooped instantly.
"I don't sell anything here, and this is not a place for you to fool around. Go play somewhere else, young lady." She lost interest and waved her hand lazily. At the same time, as if seeing that the noise downstairs had not subsided for a long time, two unremarkable middle-aged men also came downstairs.
The two men were dressed in plain cloth, with a calm temperament and thick calluses on their hands. When they walked, their shoulders and backs were relaxed. Their steps seemed ordinary, but their footsteps were as strong as the roots of old trees. It was obvious that they were people who practiced martial arts for many years and had strong internal strength.
Seeing the two men coming down, Hu Ji pursed her lips and said, "To tell you the truth, a while ago, a buyer was extremely arrogant. Not only did she force me to sell her my only treasure, she also sent two people to monitor me! My business has been bleak lately! Oh my God, young lady, if you don't leave now, be careful they will drive you away!"
The words did not conceal the dissatisfaction with the "tyrannical buyer".
Seeing that Chen Qing had no intention of leaving, she shrugged and signaled to the two men: She wanted to stay here on her own, I didn't force her to stay.
Unexpectedly, the two men walked straight past her and saluted Shen Qing, saying, "Madam."
Hu Ji's gloating smile froze successfully. She turned her head slowly and saw the "rude buyer" she mentioned staring at her with a smile. Her eyes were extremely harmless and there was no sign that she was the mastermind behind the forced buying and selling a while ago.
Shen Qing waved his hand, signaling Shadow to push Hu Ji forward.
Hu Ji thought she had been unintentionally involved in the dirty business of the noble family, and that the man had come to silence her. She widened her eyes in fear, hugged the pillar tightly, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Help—"
The shadow quickly reached out and tapped her mute acupoint, then dragged the person up.
Chen Qing followed behind slowly and leisurely.
A tear rolled down Hu Ji's eye and she stared out the window in despair.
.
"So you mean this thing is still uncontrollable?" Chen Qing asked.
Hu Ji took a sip of tea, suppressed her pounding heart, and nodded.
"To be precise, this is only a semi-finished product. I can't guarantee that the person who is poisoned by the Gu will listen to you. After all, I said it is a love Gu, not an obedience Gu, and it is still a semi-finished product."
The two were now talking in a nonsensical language.
Through daily probing, intentional or unintentional, Chen Qing discovered that this self-proclaimed system not only only recognized Li Chao's characters, but also could not understand languages other than Chinese.
After making sure that it couldn't understand the Hu language, Chen Qing secretly learned a few words of Hu language to ensure that they would come in handy at the critical moment.
All she did was to avoid this damn "system", or some kind of strange "parasitic spirit".
She thought about it over and over again, and the only thing that originated from the Li Dynasty and was able to secretly avoid everyone's eyes and hide quietly in her mind was probably the legendary parasitic spirit.
But ordinary parasitic spirits can be detected and separated from the host body through talismans and formations, but the thing in her mind is not afraid of talismans and formations at all, and can even avoid the detection of her senior brother!
Chen Qing once pretended to be infected with evil spirits and asked Liu Jiuyue to exorcise the evil spirits for him.
However, after his senior brother's spiritual power passed through his body, his expression became completely inconspicuous, which meant that he had not noticed the creature that was parasitic in her body at all.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Chen Qing did not make a sound. Instead, he tried every possible way to get rid of it without being noticed by it.
Formations, talismans, spiritual power, and internal strength are all useless, so there is only one last method left, which is to follow the "task" it posted, to conquer Li Daoxuan and reach the favorability value it set: 100.
However, the favorability value reported by this thing was completely nonsense, completely illogical! It was as if it had compiled the favorability value based solely on its own guesses and assumptions based on what it had witnessed of the two people interacting.
It has no understanding of the complex emotions of humans.
Even if two ministers are sworn enemies and as hostile as water and fire, they have to behave harmoniously and greet the emperor with smiles.
Even couples who have been married for decades and are close to each other will have disagreements and times when they feel wary of each other.
This destined it to be an alien with no emotions and a questionable IQ.
Chen Qing couldn't help but feel lucky that this thing in her brain was full of loopholes and was so stupid that she had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
She once asked it, what does it mean to have 100% favorability?
It says: "He has 100% trust in you, believing your every word and every decision, without any doubt about your motives and sincerity, and he is even willing to give up his life for you without hesitation. This is 100% favorability."
Chen Qing admitted that she was somewhat moved when she heard the words "give up one's life", but if two people who were tit-for-tat and full of calculations fell in love from the first meeting, what good ending would it be in the end?
I'm afraid there's not even the most basic trust. Even if there is affection, it will only be consumed by endless suspicion.
This kind of love that only appears in storybooks can only be realized through special means, she thought.
At this time, Hu Ji asked again: "Has he undergone any changes after being infected with the love poison?"
Shen Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Although he showed his affection for me before planting the love Gu, he was still wary of me—"
"Oh, wait! What did you say? He was in love with you before he was poisoned?!" She widened her eyes in horror.
Seeing her terrified face, Shen Qing couldn't help but feel uneasy. She quickly thought about whether she had gotten into trouble. She asked, "Really?"
"Oh my god, is it!"
"yes."
Hu Ji said, "Then congratulations."
Chen Qing said unhappily, "It's really strange that you're so startled. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Excuse me, who is he to you?"
After a moment of deliberation, she replied, "Husband."
Hu Ji said: "Oh, that's great. It might be a good thing for you."
She said, "I'm afraid you'll have a beautiful daughter or son soon. Of course, the prerequisite is that your husband must be as good-looking as you."
Chen Qing's eyes suddenly darkened, she covered her head with her hands and said, "What do you mean?!" In just a short moment, she even thought of the possibility that she could get pregnant by kissing him.
Hu Ji just smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when you get home."
After hearing this, Shen Qing felt irritated and her eyes suddenly darkened. Her aura was depressed and even her words were tinged with gloom. "I think you should understand your position."
A cold light suddenly appeared in the dim room, and the shadow had already suddenly pulled out the dagger and held it tightly across Hu Ji's slender neck.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips turned pale.
Chen Qing said coldly, "What would happen if I fed this thing to someone who already loves me?"
Hu Ji no longer dared to tease and said truthfully: "He will be even more enthusiastic towards you!"
"for example?"
"For example, for example, if you two already had a good relationship, then after you plant the love Gu, his heart and eyes will be filled with you, and he will even be willing to give his life to you!"
At this, she swallowed nervously.
Chen Qing's heart was always in suspense. Even when she heard what she wanted most, "I'm willing to give her my life", she didn't feel happy at all.
Because she understood that even more terrible backlash might be to come.
Hu Ji calmed down at this time. She said, "But his feelings for you will also increase tenfold. If he only felt close to you before, now he will rely on you all the time and cannot leave you."
"What if we kissed?"
"Obviously, he's going to be more enthusiastic about something. I hope you can bear it."
Chen Qing's heart sank completely, but she still didn't give up and asked, "What are you talking about? Is it a shameful thing?"
Hu Ji was shocked and said, "You are too, too-Oh, you are definitely the most casual young lady I have ever met. You are right."
She took out a small porcelain bottle and a book from her sleeve.
Chen Qing had a splitting headache at the moment. The words on the book were like black shadows flying in the sky. He was afraid that she would catch up and see clearly, so he shook even more violently.
She glanced at the book and casually accepted it, pointing to the porcelain vase that she could barely make out and asking, "What is this?"
Hu Ji: "Antidote."
"That insect is a half-finished product. Your husband has been poisoned. If he doesn't take the antidote, he will die from the insect's heart within three months at the latest."
