Chapter 134 Like a Zombie
Concubine Hua was straightforward, and Wen Ling was even more straightforward, saying, "I want the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood that you treasured, which was kept in the Taoist sect for a thousand years after the hundred-year-old peach tree was struck by lightning, as your reward."
Other magic tools can be returned after the magic circle is used, but the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood is a consumable in the magic circle, and it may not be returned after use.
Concubine Hua was stunned after hearing this, obviously not expecting Wen Ling to ask for this as a reward.
She also thought that Wen Ling would ask for some benefits in the court power on behalf of Gu Chenran. After all, this was more in line with the royal family's style of doing things.
She was stunned for a moment, then agreed without hesitation: "Of course, I can send someone to get it for you right now!"
As long as the other person asks for something, it means she is confident that she can solve the problem.
For Concubine Hua, all that matters now is that her son's problem can be solved.
Wen Ling said, "Don't worry, wait until I go and see what the King of Qi's situation is like. I have to see if I can solve it first."
Just with these words, Concubine Hua's heart, which had just calmed down a little, became tense again.
Wen Ling doesn't look like he has it all figured out. What if Wen Ling can't solve it either?
Gu Chenran could see that Wen Ling said this on purpose. She was sure she could find a solution, but she didn't want Concubine Hua to think that she could solve it so easily.
Concubine Hua is different from the eldest princess and the others, and their positions have fundamental conflicts of interest.
If Concubine Hua thought that this matter could be easily resolved, then she might think that it was an easy thing for Wen Ling, and the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood would be a loss.
So she had to act very tricky and let her know that even if she gave her the thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood, she would still owe them a favor.
Gu Chenran couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that Wen Ling had grown up and was no longer as naive as before.
Wen Ling looked at Gu Chenran who was smiling at her with satisfaction and felt a little confused. No, why did he suddenly smile at her like that?
She didn't know that Gu Chenran had imagined so many things on her own. She was really very honest and wanted to see what the King of Qi's situation was like first.
Without further ado, Wen Ling and Gu Chenran followed Concubine Hua directly to Prince Qi's Mansion.
In order not to attract attention and to conceal their whereabouts, their carriage stopped at the back door and they entered the Prince of Qi's Palace through the back door.
As soon as Wen Ling arrived at the courtyard where King Qi lived, he smelled a strong smell of blood. It was not until he saw King Qi with his own eyes that he realized that King Qi's condition was indeed much more serious than they had expected.
The King of Qi was tied up tightly with the toughest hemp ropes, like a mummy, and fixed to the bed.
His left hand was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and blood was constantly seeping out of the gauze due to his violent struggle.
From the overly pale face of the King of Qi, it can be seen that this situation must have lasted for a long time, and he is already showing signs of excessive blood loss.
The most frightening thing was the King of Qi’s obviously abnormal expression.
He lay on the bed with his eyes wide open, looking at the bed curtains above him, banging his head against the bed repeatedly, muttering to himself: "Let me go save Yao'er, let me save Yao'er, or I will kill myself, or I will kill myself..."
Even though there was a thick pillow under his head, the relentless impact still looked scary.
"Qi'er!" Concubine Hua felt heartbroken when she saw her son like this.
She was no longer angry now because she knew something had happened to her son.
She called Wen Ling: "Please come and take a look!"
Wen Ling had just walked to the bedside when the King of Qi, who had been staring blankly at the bed curtains, suddenly opened his eyes wide when he saw Wen Ling. Even his pupils enlarged instantly, and the black pupils almost occupied the entire eyes, and the whites of the eyes were almost invisible.
The King of Qi suddenly became emotional and roared at Wen Ling like a wild beast: "It's all your fault, you bitch. You're the one who caused me to be like this, and you've caused Yao'er to be like this. Why don't you just die? I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!!"
He roared and struggled to rush towards Wen Ling. At this moment, he looked more like a zombie than a human.
Even the hemp ropes that bound him were broken at several weak spots. His limbs were cut by the ropes and bleeding, and the wound on his wrist was bleeding directly out.
But he was completely unaware of it. His eyes, whose pupils occupied almost the entire eye sockets, kept staring at Wen Ling, and he kept opening his mouth to bite her, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
It looked extremely terrifying, as if he was no longer a human being but a monster.
Gu Chenran grabbed Wen Ling's hand and pulled Wen Ling behind him, subconsciously fearing that King Qi would hurt Wen Ling.
Concubine Hua was even more frightened. At that moment, she didn't dare to go forward and touch her son, but she couldn't control the heartache in her heart.
Wen Ling patted Gu Chenran on the shoulder to reassure him.
When everyone was frightened by the King of Qi and dared not step forward, she walked straight through the crowd, walked to the King of Qi's bed, pinched a ray of golden light on her hand, and lightly flicked her fingertips, directly shooting the golden light into the King of Qi's forehead.
The King of Qi, who had been going mad just now, paused, and his eyes, whose pupils were too dilated, stayed still for a few seconds before their pupils suddenly returned to their normal size.
Then he seemed to have lost all strength. He closed his eyes tiredly and fell on the bed, fainting.
“Qi’er!” Concubine Hua rushed to the bedside as if waking up from a dream, and asked Wen Ling anxiously, “What happened to him?!”
Wen Ling told her not to worry: "It's okay, his mind was just controlled by the black energy, I just used the golden light to protect his mind, he just fell asleep because he was too tired in the past few days, and now it's a good thing for him to fall asleep.
It's a good opportunity to give his body a rest. Otherwise, if he continues to tormented like this, he might die before the evil spirit is exorcised. ”
"What does hanging up mean?" Concubine Hua asked in confusion.
Wen Ling was stumped for a moment, and said politely, "That's it. Gone. Gone. Gone."
Concubine Hua: “…”
Concubine Hua took a deep breath and said, "So Princess can see what's going on. Can you solve it?"
Wen Ling conducted another detailed examination of King Qi, and this time it went smoothly and made progress.
She said directly: "Take off the King of Qi's socks and let me see the soles of his feet."
"This..." The maidservant who served the King of Qi looked at Concubine Hua helplessly and whispered, "Is this against etiquette?"
Concubine Hua ordered: "Take it off, and follow Princess Chen's orders from now on."
Human life is at stake, so there is no need to worry about etiquette or not.
