Chapter 6 Scare him
Wen Ling turned sideways and gently clamped the flying dagger with his right hand, using his index finger and ring finger.
The wind created by the dagger also blew her hair.
"roll--!"
A hoarse male voice came from the bed in the main room.
I saw a tall and frail man lying on the bed, with ink-black hair draped over his body and a face that was so pale that it was almost transparent, yet so beautiful and delicate.
Even though his eyes were bloodshot and his brows were furrowed, he looked like a male monster that had run out of a painting.
There was a golden seal on his chest that flickered.
Wen Ling understood that it must be the seal she had cast on him the night before that protected him and prevented him from fainting in the soul-sucking formation.
But if she didn't break the formation in time, this gradually fading seal would not be able to protect him for long.
Wen Ling asked Tingyin to stay outside and she walked in: "It's me."
Gu Chenran looked towards the door.
The door was opened and dazzling sunlight shone in from outside.
A petite figure appeared at the door against the light, and the sunlight seemed to give her a halo.
After his eyes adjusted to the light, he could see the face of the girl at the door.
It was the same man who had appeared in his desperate situation the night before.
“Wen Ling…”
Gu Chenran shouted in a hoarse voice, and it could be heard that this time he sounded much more relaxed than before.
Under his gaze, Wen Ling walked step by step to the head of his bed and to his side.
Well, her feeling that night turned out to be correct. Gu Chenran really looked like a big, injured, weak, and bared-toothed dog.
Wen Ling said in short: "Someone has set up a soul-sucking formation in your palace, and the center of the formation is on my side. Before noon today, you and everyone in your palace will have their souls and luck sucked away and die."
Before Gu Chenran could react, Wen Ling added: "But the center of the formation has been destroyed by me, and the soul-sucking formation of the entire palace has become ineffective."
“Who… who set up the soul-sucking formation?! Ahem…”
Gu Chenran asked as he was so excited that he wanted to sit up from the bed.
But he was too weak. He kept coughing when he got excited and fell heavily back onto the bed.
The pale face turned red because of excitement, as if it was stained with a layer of rosy clouds.
Wen Ling thought, wow, she is really... a feast for the eyes!
As a spirit of words, she loves two things most in her life: beautiful women and delicious food.
Oh, this delicacy is a new addition after I tasted the red date cake this morning.
Gu Chenran is the handsome guy that suits her aesthetic taste.
Wen Ling is always more patient with handsome men.
She sat down at the head of the bed, reached out and touched Gu Chenran's chest, her voice was not loud but firm: "Don't move, you are too weak, I will strengthen the seal for you."
The moment the warm little hand touched his chest, Gu Chenran felt as if his chest was burning. He instantly froze and dared not move.
A warm spiritual power passed from Wen Ling's palm to Gu Chenran's chest.
The flickering golden seal on his chest stabilized again, emitting a golden light.
Gu Chenran only felt that his body, which had just been weak, began to slowly warm up.
The legs that had lost all feeling returned to normal and he could walk again.
He looked up at Wen Ling, his eyes filled with shock and surprise: "How... did you do that? Before I married you, I had never heard that you were capable of these things."
Everyone in the capital knew that Wen Ling was the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was born mentally retarded and whose mother died when she was just born.
Two years ago, on the Empress Dowager's birthday, out of consideration for the old relationship between her and her biological mother, she invited her, who had just reached the age of 15, to attend the banquet, but she ended up making a fool of herself at the banquet and lost face.
It's really not presentable.
The reason why Gu Chenran married her was because he was a deposed prince, and someone wanted to completely depose him and framed him to marry Wen Ling.
But unexpectedly, she was completely different from the rumors.
Not only is he not stupid, but he is also very powerful and saved him twice in a short period of time.
Instead of letting others let their imagination run wild, it’s better to ask proactively.
Wen Ling had no intention of hiding it.
Her eyes were clear and open: "We are married now. Whether you and I are willing or not, we have prayed to heaven and earth and are now husband and wife. We are a community of destiny that shares weal and woe.
Since our fates are already linked, it’s okay for me to tell you the truth. ”
Gu Chenran didn't say anything, but listened carefully, frowned, and nodded slightly, looking very serious.
After Wen Ling gave him a shot of prevention, he continued, "I was indeed mentally retarded before, but after I was poisoned to death by my stepmother and sister on the day of my wedding, I gained some other memories and acquired some different skills after waking up."
Gu Chenran suddenly understood and he did not doubt this statement.
It would be hard to explain this transformation if he hadn't died once.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Chenran said solemnly: "I understand, I believe you, but Miss Wen, please don't tell anyone else about this.
The Yong Dynasty emphasizes that scholars should not talk about strange and supernatural things, otherwise I am afraid Miss Wen will get into trouble. ”
Wen Ling was very satisfied with his reaction and chuckled, "Of course. From now on, I will just tell others that I am not stupid anymore. I told you this because our fate as husband and wife is one and the same. It would be inconvenient to hide it."
"Well, that's good..."
Different from Wen Ling who was generous and frank, Gu Chenran's ears turned red when he heard "You and I are one as husband and wife".
It's just that it's more hidden, so it wasn't discovered.
Wen Ling finished what he had to say, and stood up to leave: "Okay, that's about it. The soul-sucking formation has been broken, and the people who fainted in the palace will wake up naturally after a while in the sun. I'll go back first if everything is fine."
Gu Chenran suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve: "Wait a minute!"
Wen Ling tilted his head and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Gu Chenran seemed to have made a great decision. He took a deep breath and asked, "You helped me get rid of the hallucinations that tortured me last time, and you stopped me from getting sick this time. Can you... cure my strange disease?"
"Strange disease?" Wen Ling asked curiously, "What disease do you have? You are not sick."
Gu Chenran raised his voice a little: "I am sick. I have had a strange disease since I was eight years old and had a high fever.
People outside say that I am crazy, but that is not the case. I just have hallucinations frequently, those sudden appearances of evil spirits, those agony before death, and the illusions that I cannot get out of no matter how hard I try...
It all seemed so real, I really couldn't tell the difference between illusion and reality, so I looked like I was crazy. ”
Wen Ling said seriously: "But those are real. The evil spirits and pain are real."
"What...what?" Gu Chenran almost thought he had misheard.
Then he said excitedly: "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, they all said it was fake, I saw evil spirits when I was ill, but the people around me said they didn't see anything!"
Wen Ling sighed softly. She took out the wooden plaque containing Gao Yueyuan's soul from her sleeve and knocked on it gently: "Yuanyuan, come out for a moment."
A baby as cute as a piece of jade came out from the wooden sign.
It stared at Wen Ling with its big round eyes, blinking: "Sister Fairy, why did you call me out?"
Wen Ling pointed at Gu Chenran, who was stiff at the head of the bed and said, "This brother doesn't believe in ghosts. Scare him a little."
