Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Constantly disturbing his mind...
She quickly shook off the feeling. After calming down, she looked at someone who shouldn't have been there and couldn't help but curse, "Are you a fool?! You didn't knock at the door in the middle of the night, and you even learned to sneak through the window like a flower thief. You—"
Chen Qing suddenly stopped, she was puzzled. There was something wrong with the Zhou Mansion, and it was the time when the two of them should be alert and on guard. Why did he behave like this in such a situation?
So she immediately found some cold tea and poured it down his throat.
With the stimulation of the cold, the muscles in his mouth and throat relaxed, and Li Daoxuan was finally able to speak.
Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After calming down, the first thing he said was: "Give me the detoxification."
Chen Qing twitched his lips and sneered, "Did you forget that this poison needs to be soaked in water? The old doctor said that there's still coldness in your body that hasn't been forced out, so you can't touch cold water. My medicine needs cold water to stimulate it."
Li Daoxuan stared at her intently.
Chen Qing said, "I'm sorry, just sleep well for one night. The poison will dissipate by itself by the next day." Chen Qing felt unlucky in his heart, because not only did he suffer a night of fright, but more than half of his already limited self-defense medicine was used up.
There aren't many medicines that can take effect so quickly, not to mention that this medicine is difficult to make. I don't know how long it will take to extract even a little bit.
For this reason, Shen was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, so she pressed on, "You haven't told me yet why you broke into my bedroom so late at night. Do you know that I almost—"castrated you."
Shen Qing couldn't bring herself to say such vulgar words, and her face turned red.
Li Daoxuan said, "Send the medicine."
Shen Qing was stunned, "What medicine?"
"The doctor said that your foot injury has not healed yet, so he asked me to bring some medicine to you." Li Daoxuan said in a deep voice.
Chen Qing was still upset. She sneered, "It's really hard for you. You obviously don't want to see me, but you still climb through the window in the middle of the night to deliver medicine!" Chen Qing mistakenly thought that she had inexplicably annoyed him that day and made him dislike her, so he refused to deliver the medicine openly.
I'm afraid he wanted to throw the medicine to her at night without anyone noticing, and let her guess the origin of the medicine the next day.
Li Daoxuan knew that she had misunderstood, but after thinking it over again and again, he decided to let her misunderstand.
As for the truth? Let it rot and be buried in this rainy night, he thought.
Li Daoxuan: "Something is wrong in the Zhou Mansion. Your foot injury hasn't healed yet, so it's not convenient for you to walk."
Chen Qing said sarcastically, "So? Your Highness thinks I, a cripple, am holding you back? Do you want to get rid of me?"
Facing Shen Qing's sharp words, Li Daoxuan appeared relatively calm. He said, "Apply the medicine."
Chen Qing saw the medicine bag in his hand and took it away without hesitation.
Spreading out the medicine paper, there was a sticky medicinal juice inside. It looked a bit ugly, but fortunately it was not smelly and had a faint medicinal fragrance, which made Chen Qing feel less resistant.
"How do I use it?"
"Apply it to the affected area and massage it in until the swelling goes down."
Chen Qing put the candle back on the candlestick, sat on the wooden chair, took off her socks on the spot, put her white and tender hind feet on her knees, and then observed the injury on her ankle.
The light of a single candle was too dim to make out the entire picture.
The injury on my ankle is still a little swollen, and there is a slight stinging pain when I step on the ground. It is not serious and can be tolerated.
In the past few months since her rebirth, she has been suffering from injuries all the time. She thought to herself that perhaps this was the suffering she deserved in advance, and her future life would be smooth sailing.
She was about to light a few more candles when she heard the tiniest tinkle of silver bells. Li Daoxuan's eyes snapped open, evidently having heard the same sound, or rather, it seemed to be coming from above him.
Chen Qing quickly extinguished the candle, quietly lifted the bed curtain, got into the bed, and covered Li Daoxuan's mouth.
"Shhh."
Her long black hair was unbound and cascaded down, slowly covering his eyebrows and eyes. The ends of her hair brushed across his nose, lips, and collarbone, like a subtle provocation from a girl.
Li Daoxuan's nose was filled with an inexplicable fragrance, like sweet floral dew, and also like... the unique fragrance that she was born with.
These aromas rushed to his nose, constantly invading his mind.
The silver bell above his head was still ringing. Chen Qing stood up, raised his hand, and pinched the silver bell.
As she moved, her black hair brushed across his face and left, along with the fragrance. Li Daoxuan subconsciously held his breath, intending to end the strange feeling she brought to him.
He frowned deeply, thinking that the poisonous insect that had been with him for eighteen years could finally affect him.
Chen Qing always carries the silver bell with her, along with a ball of silk thread.
This silk thread is as thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent, and as thin as a hair. If you don't look closely, you can hardly notice it.
The Zhou Mansion was strange. To prevent anything from climbing through the windows in the middle of the night, she specially laid two long silk threads outside the doors and windows, and the end of the threads connected to the small silver bell on Chen Qing's bed curtain.
Once someone approaches the doors and windows, they must pass through this silk thread. Once the silk thread breaks, the silver bell on Chen Qing's head will ring in time.
The silver bell's sound was not very loud, just an inch around the bed curtain, enough to wake up Shen Qing.
When Li Daoxuan came, he had already broken the silk thread in front of the window, and now the silk thread in front of the door was broken.
Now that Li Daoxuan had been drugged, he felt weak all over, and Chen Qing's foot was injured, so she held her breath for a moment, secretly hating herself for acting too quickly and knocking the man down without thinking.
The silver bell was pinched by someone and the sound stopped abruptly. Then there was a rustling sound coming from the door, as if someone was scratching the door with fingernails.
Hearing the noise, Chen Qing was confused for a moment, then suddenly realized, and his eyes widened suddenly. There was something knocking on the talisman on the door!
This Xia Chen Qing concluded that the person who came was not a good person, at least a demon.
But it is also a bit strange. The talisman paper is used to ward off demons. If ordinary people want to break in, they will definitely not notice the talisman pasted on the door. Demons are afraid of talismans. Even if they want to find a way to get rid of the talisman, they will never tear it up and bring trouble upon themselves.
After deep thought, Shen Qing tapped the Qiuren Sword, signaling Li Daoxuan to release Qiuren to investigate the situation.
However, it was pitch black all around, and Li Daoxuan couldn't see her frantic eyes at all. Chen Qing seemed to have noticed this as well, and was startled for a moment before leaning over, her head close to his ear, and saying, "Let Qiu Ren go."
The distance that was suddenly shortened made Li Daoxuan's originally calm heart distracted for a moment. Soon, a charming red light flashed in his eyes, and the red stone of the black sword flashed accordingly. A pitch-black black snake emerged from the red stone and cleverly blended into the night.
Qiu Ren climbed out of bed along the quilt and climbed out of the window with his tongue sticking out.
After a while, the sound of the door scraping stopped abruptly.
Several loud thunders roared again, and the continuous white light illuminated the entire house. The sound of rain outside and the wind made their last desperate struggle. Finally, the sound of rain gradually became smaller as the thunder disappeared.
The rain finally came to an end.
The thing seemed to have encountered something scary or difficult, and the hurried footsteps outside the house gradually faded away.
Chen Qing realized that the thing was about to escape, and he didn't know where he got the courage from. He picked up the sword on the bed, got down and was about to chase after it.
As the fragrance from the tip of his nose dissipated, Li Daoxuan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The situation is unclear, we shouldn't act impulsively!"
Chen Qing ran out of the house barefoot without looking back, "That thing seems to be afraid of Qiu Ren, it shouldn't be a big deal, I'll go check it out and come back!" Finally, she pasted a few more talismans on the doors and windows of the house to strengthen them firmly.
This time, the talisman was made of blood.
He didn't use any of the blood talismans that Chen Qing gave him, and they were all kept in the brocade bag. Fortunately, the brocade bag was waterproof, so the talismans she had worked so hard to draw were not wasted.
At this moment, these blood talismans were recycled. She pasted five of them in the house, and the remaining five were rolled up in her hands.
Chen Qing pulled the oil-paper umbrella at the door, and regardless of her obsessive-compulsive disorder, she held the umbrella and stepped on the puddles on the ground as she chased out of the yard. The hem of her skirt was soaked by the splashing water, but after a while, it stuck tightly to her owner's ankles and opened up with her steps.
The thing ran really fast, and the Zhou Mansion Garden was very large, with many maze-like rockery. Not only did Chen Qing not find the thing, but she also got herself lost in it. She was trapped and kept going around in circles for a long time.
Although it was the hottest season, the continuous rain had driven away the heat with the cool rain. It was late at night, and Chen Qing felt the chill beneath her feet. Her lips turned pale, and her body, which had been improving, shivered several times. She thought that after tonight, her body would collapse again.
Just when he was feeling depressed, he suddenly saw a woman holding an umbrella at the corner.
The woman was wearing a white dress, with her long black hair loose, holding a lantern, and standing under an osmanthus tree at night.
Chen Qing instantly perked up, secretly clenched the talisman in his hand, and walked slowly towards the woman with an umbrella.
The woman beneath the golden osmanthus tree seemed to notice something and slowly turned the green umbrella in her hand. The umbrella lifted up, revealing a gentle and serene face.
Chen Qing stopped and asked hesitantly, "Wu Niang?"
Song Yuxi smiled faintly and asked, "You'an, it's still raining, why are you here?" After that, she lowered her eyes and looked at Chen Qing's pair of small and tender white feet, "Why did you come out barefoot? Aren't you cold?" she asked puzzledly.
Chen Qing also smiled innocently and said rather awkwardly, "Today, when I was walking in the garden, I accidentally lost one of my earrings. It was a coming-of-age gift my brother gave me. When I suddenly realized that the earring was missing, I felt anxious and came out to look for it without even bothering to put on my shoes." She took a step towards Song Yuxi calmly.
"And you, why are you here so late? I remember you were sick in bed, weren't you?" She looked a little worried. "How are you? I heard from the maid that your condition is very serious. I'm really worried."
Song Yuxi gave a bitter laugh. "It's just my old coughing up blood, it's nothing serious. It's just that the wind and rain were so strong today, and I saw my golden osmanthus trees were bent down by the wind. I felt they couldn't survive this storm, so I couldn't let them go, so I came out to check on them when the rain had abated a bit."
She asked, "What do your earrings look like? I'd like to help you find them. Go back and put on your shoes so you don't catch a cold."
Chen Qing shook her head and said, "I've found it." She turned her wrist and a delicate and small pink round pearl earring appeared in her palm.
Song Yuxi smiled sincerely and said, "I'm glad you found it. Go back quickly. I'll take you home."
Chen Qing said, "Thank you, Wu Niang."
Song Yuxi held up a lantern and illuminated the path for Chen Qing, "Be careful."
Shen Qing turned his head to observe her profile.
She had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, thin eyes, a delicate nose, and naturally red lips. Her fair skin glowed softly in the light of the lantern, but her cheeks lacked a hint of color.
Song Yuxi is as his name suggests, he is born like water, his voice is like water, and even his temperament is like a trickle of water, without the slightest abruptness or impatience. Wherever he passes, it is as if a breeze blows across the water, causing slight ripples.
