Chapter 49 Ling Zixia makes tea to save Liu
Zhao Wenxuan's hands were warm and strong.
He gently held Ling Zixia's cold hand.
Made a seemingly sincere promise.
Ling Zixia's body trembled slightly.
She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.
But in the end, he didn't move.
She just lowered her head.
Said in a very soft voice.
"Thank you... sir."
A blush of shyness appeared on her face at the right time.
She looks like a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love.
Zhao Wenxuan looked at her like this.
The last bit of defense in my heart was completely let down.
He felt.
Perhaps this woman was not as complicated as he imagined.
Everything she did.
Maybe it's really just for self-protection.
In order to survive in this man-eating mansion.
He let go of Ling Zixia's hand.
He turned around.
He glanced at Liu Yunyao, who was still chained to the wooden stake and looked distraught.
A complicated look flashed in his eyes.
He gave orders to the guard beside him in a deep voice.
"Let her... go too."
"Find a doctor to treat her."
"From now on, let her stay in her own yard and be well."
This treatment gave Liu Yunyao a way out.
Although I lost my love and freedom.
But at least he saved his life.
The guards stepped forward immediately.
They untied the chains on Liu Yunyao.
Liu Yunyao's body softened.
Collapsed to the ground.
She raised her head.
Looking at Zhao Wenxuan with empty eyes.
He muttered to himself.
"Why...why did you save me..."
"I'm just a pawn in Madam's hands, a piece of trash..."
"Wouldn't it be cleaner if you killed me?"
She seemed to have lost all hope.
I no longer have the desire to live.
Zhao Wenxuan looked at her.
There was a flash of pity in his eyes.
But he didn't say anything more in the end.
He just turned his head.
He said to Ling Zixia.
"The smell of blood is too strong here. I'll take you back to Jingsiyuan."
Ling Zixia nodded submissively.
"Yes, sir."
She followed Zhao Wenxuan and turned to leave this place of trouble.
But just as she was about to step out of the hospital gate.
Something strange happened.
Liu Yunyao collapsed on the ground.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying murderous light flashed in his eyes.
Her originally empty eyes.
It was instantly replaced by a crazy, bloodthirsty desire.
A low growl that didn't sound like a human voice came from her throat.
Her body jumped up from the ground at an incredible speed.
She was like an enraged leopard.
She pounced towards Ling Zixia, who was closest to her.
Her fingers spread out.
The nails become pointed and long.
Flashing with a strange black light.
It all happened so fast.
So fast that no one had time to react.
Zhao Wenxuan only felt a fragrant breeze blowing past him.
When he came to his senses.
Liu Yunyao's face was distorted by madness.
It's so close.
And her goal.
It was Ling Zixia who was beside him.
"careful!"
Zhao Wenxuan screamed in shock.
He subconsciously wanted to push Ling Zixia away.
But it's too late.
Liu Yunyao's speed was beyond common sense.
Look at her poisoned nails.
It was about to cut Ling Zixia’s delicate cheek.
At this critical moment.
There was no trace of panic on Ling Zixia's face.
There wasn't even a trace of emotion in her eyes.
It was like the fatal attack before his eyes.
To her, it was just child's play.
Her body tilted back slightly with an extremely small amplitude.
This action seems simple.
But he just avoided Liu Yunyao's fatal claw.
There was a sharp sound of wind from Liu Yunyao's fingertips.
It brushed past her nose.
Just a hair's breadth.
at the same time.
Ling Zixia moved.
Her movements were not fast.
It even seems a little slow.
She stretched out her right hand.
There was something in her hand at some point.
It was a small, emerald green bamboo leaf.
She had just picked it from the bamboo forest beside the entrance of Siguozhai.
She pinched the bamboo leaf with two slender fingers.
She flicked her wrist lightly in an elegant yet strange gesture.
That thin bamboo leaf.
It's like it has life.
Turned into a green lightning.
Impartially.
It was stuck on the back of Liu Yunyao's neck.
“Bang!”
An extremely slight sound was heard.
Liu Yunyao's body, which was rushing forward, suddenly froze.
The madness on her face froze in an instant.
The bloodthirsty red light in her eyes receded like the tide.
She was like a frozen statue.
Maintaining a forward lunging posture.
Motionless.
Only her body was still trembling slightly due to the huge inertia.
The room fell into dead silence again.
Everyone was stunned by the incredible scene before them.
Zhao Wenxuan opened his mouth.
Completely speechless.
He didn't even see Ling Zixia's movements clearly just now.
All I saw was a flash of green light.
Liu Yunyao, who originally looked like a madman.
He was subdued in an instant.
This...what kind of method is this?
Is it martial arts?
Or is it a magic trick?
Ling Zixia ignored everyone's shock.
She walked slowly to Liu Yunyao's side.
She stretched out her hand.
She took the still green bamboo leaf from the back of Liu Yunyao's neck.
As the bamboo leaves left.
Liu Yunyao's body softened.
Collapsed to the ground again.
This time.
She really fainted completely.
Ling Zixia looked at the unconscious Liu Yunyao.
A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.
She knows.
My guess just now was correct.
Li Ruolan took double insurance on Liu Yunyao.
The poison of "Qianji" is only the first layer.
Used to control her mind.
Let her say some specific crazy things under specific circumstances.
And in her body, there is a second, more terrifying poison lurking.
This poison will be triggered when the holder of the "Qianji" poison, that is, Liu Yunyao herself, has a complete mental breakdown or seeks death.
Once triggered.
The poisoned person will completely lose his mind.
Become a walking corpse that only knows how to kill.
Attack the person closest to you.
Moreover, it has great strength and is difficult to be penetrated by swords and guns.
Until death from exhaustion.
This is an extremely vicious means of mutual destruction.
Li Ruolan's real purpose.
It is to let Liu Yunyao die.
Drag Ling Zixia to take the blame.
What a pity.
She has made all the calculations.
I didn't expect Ling Zixia's golden finger.
That seemingly ordinary bamboo leaf.
After being touched by Ling Zixia's fingers.
It is no longer an ordinary bamboo leaf.
It turned into a "medicine talisman" containing powerful sedative and tranquilizing effects.
When it was attached to the Dazhui point on the back of Liu Yunyao's neck.
The powerful medicinal effect instantly invaded her meridians.
She forcibly suppressed the toxicity running rampant in her body.
She fell into a deep coma.
Thus, this fatal crisis was resolved.
"Master, Sister Liu... the poison in her body seems to have taken effect."
Ling Zixia turned around.
Her face regained its pale look of extreme shock.
She spoke to Zhao Wenxuan in a trembling voice.
"If I don't get timely treatment, I'm afraid... I'm afraid my life will be in danger."
Only then did Zhao Wenxuan come back to his senses from the huge shock.
He looked at Ling Zi-Xia.
His eyes became more complicated than ever before.
He is no longer able to use common sense.
Let me guess the woman in front of me.
She is full of too many secrets.
He took a deep breath.
He forced himself to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart.
He asked in a deep voice.
"Can you...help her?"
Ling Zixia showed an embarrassment on her face.
She shook her head.
"I...I can't guarantee it."
"This poison is too overbearing and has already damaged her heart."
"Ordinary medicine is probably no longer effective in saving the patient."
"unless……"
She stopped talking halfway.
Zhao Wenxuan immediately asked.
"Unless what?"
Ling Zixia's gaze.
It fell onto a pot of tea on the torture rack nearby.
That was the coarse tea that the executioners used to quench their thirst.
She spoke slowly.
"Unless you can use a little of my own blood as a medicine."
"Perhaps, there is still a chance for her to survive."
She said.
She actually took out a small silver knife from her bosom.
She pretended to stab herself in the heart.
“No!”
Zhao Wenxuan screamed in shock.
He took a quick step forward.
He grabbed Ling Zixia's wrist.
He stared at her intently.
His eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
"Are you crazy?"
"For someone who wants to kill you, you're actually going to use your own blood to save her?"
"Why on earth is this happening?"
Ling Zixia raised her head.
She looked at Zhao Wenxuan.
With tears in his eyes.
Her voice was filled with a hint of ethereal compassion.
"Because, I see my own shadow in her."
"We are all just pawns in this mansion, at the mercy of others."
"Today, she can kill me for others."
"Tomorrow, maybe I will kill another innocent girl for the sake of others."
"Sir, you don't understand."
"In this prison, we women have never had control over our own lives."
Her words.
Like a heavy hammer.
It hit Zhao Wenxuan's heart hard.
He looked at the pure sadness in her eyes.
The softest part of my heart was deeply touched.
His first time.
To this concubine in name only.
A trace of real pity arose.
He let go of Ling Zixia's hand.
He took the knife from her hand.
He turned and walked over to the table.
He poured a cup of coarse tea.
He cut his finger with the knife.
He dripped a drop of his blood into the teacup.
Then he held the cup of tea.
Walked in front of Ling Zixia.
He handed her the teacup.
"Use mine."
His voice was hoarse and low.
"Your life is more precious than hers."
