Chapter 149 Make Up for Mistakes
"Sir, sir, please wait for me."
In order to conceal his whereabouts and avoid being discovered by the princess, Pei Ji changed into an inconspicuous carriage and quietly left through the back door.
Soon they arrived at Huai Zhen's house.
"It's right here."
"This is a trick set up by someone who understands the Five Elements and Gossip. No wonder they lost track."
"Our people are well-trained and usually won't lose track of us. It's just that this place is a little weird..."
Pei Ji agreed with this statement. It was strange. He didn't know what was going on with this house. When he got closer, he felt a chill all over his body. It was as if a large amount of solid ice was stored inside.
Ice is such a luxury item that even if all the ice cellars in Da Zhouguo were emptied, it would still not be enough to fill such a large house. So where does all the cooling air come from?
"Whose house is this?"
A Lin: "This person's whereabouts are secretive. We got a lot of information and found out that the person living here is actually the Ghost Doctor's junior brother, Huai Zhen."
Huai poison...
Pei Ji chewed on this name over and over again. He had heard it from Song Ci's mouth.
It is said that he is the only one who has the ability to completely detoxify himself nowadays. So, did Song Ci come here just for this matter?
He couldn't express the feeling in his heart. Pei Ji looked at the confined door with burning eyes, turned around and shouted, "Go ask Prince Yu where the ghost doctor is."
Prince Yu came with his men. The Ghost Doctor was still basking in the sun leisurely in the yard. When he saw Prince Yu, he just raised his eyelids and glanced at Pei Ji who was following behind him. His eyes finally came into focus.
"Why are there so many people coming to my old man's yard today?"
Prince Yu said politely, "Ghost Doctor, this is really a sudden thing. My friend said he wants to talk to you about something."
Ghost Doctor: "Tell me, what's the matter? I'm going to trouble you, an old man. If it's too much trouble, I'll just stop talking..."
"Song Ci, she's at your junior brother's house, I'm afraid something is wrong."
"What!" The old ghost stood up without even having time to put on his straw sandals.
"There's something strange about his house. I get cold all over when I get close to it. Do you know what's going on?"
The old ghost, who was only a little surprised just now, became solemn and even angry. "He, he wouldn't want to use that method... Damn it, why didn't I think of it?"
As he said this, he ran out and halfway through, he lost one of his shoes.
...
"Master, the medicine is here."
"Let it go." Huai Zhen's voice was still cold, but there was some anxiety in his tone.
The little boy saw Song Ci sitting on the huge bed. His face was pale, his black hair covered half of the bed, and he looked lifeless, like a dead person.
Thinking of this beautiful sister giving him candy, the little boy couldn't help but ask, "This lady..."
"Shut up. That's not your place to ask."
The little boy was frightened by Huai Zhen's cold tone and took a few steps back. Then he looked at Song Ci with some worry, walked out and closed the door.
Walking to the table, Huai Zhen raised his hand to pick up the medicine bowl, stirred it with a spoon, then pried open Song Ci's mouth and fed the medicine into her mouth spoon by spoon.
Song Ci seemed to be in great discomfort, with a frown on his face. He took two spoonfuls of medicine and spit out one spoonful.
"You're such a pampered girl." Huai Jue frowned, his eyes flashing across her rosy lips. Because of the medicine, her lips were plump and translucent. A strange emotion filled his heart, and he turned his head away uncomfortably.
..
"With this sleight of hand blocking the way, we can't get in." No matter how capable Pei Ji was, he was helpless against things like Qimen Dunjia.
I decided in my heart that I must recruit such a talent when I return, so that I won’t be helpless when encountering the same situation in the future.
The old ghost snorted coldly, "Old trick, watch me break it!"
He first muttered a string of incomprehensible words, then rubbed his hand against the door, touching it here and knocking there. Although the door didn't seem to have changed, everyone finally saw its position and appearance clearly.
The black door was simple and heavy. Pei Ji's men had only felt that the door was right in front of them, but they could hardly touch it with their hands.
It turned out that someone had set up a trick.
"Okay, the illusion is gone, come with me in." The old ghost was anxious, his apprentice was still inside, he just hoped that everything would be in time and nothing would go wrong.
The house was very big, but Lao Gui was familiar with his junior fellow apprentice. Based on this understanding, he didn't even look at the house outside, and ran straight to the innermost position. The others didn't understand why he was so sure, but they couldn't help but not ask.
Pei Ji's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip, and he followed closely behind.
...
"The medicine you gave me is not enough. Go boil another dose." Huai Jue rubbed his eyebrows and instructed the child.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
As soon as he walked out, he ran into a few people with unfriendly faces. The child quickly dodged to the side and even pointed in the direction of the house.
I just hope these people are here for that sister.
Several people looked at the gesture and walked straight in. The old ghost cursed: "Huaizhen, are you crazy? You even resorted to such a method. You are almost losing the face of the old master. Why don't you call my apprentice out..."
The scene inside the house shocked several people. Huai Jue had his back to the crowd, making it difficult to see his expression or what he was doing. But from this angle, one could clearly see that he was holding a woman in his arms. Her skin was surprisingly white, and her black hair was casually draped.
Just this one glimpse was enough to attract everyone's attention.
Huaizhen hunched his body, his face pressed against the person in his arms. From this angle, it was hard not to have wild fantasies.
"How dare you!" Pei Ji didn't wait for anyone to react. He walked straight over, grabbed Huai Zhen's shoulder, and tried to snatch Song Ci away.
Holding someone in his arms, Huai Zhen had to take care of Song Ci, so he took a hit, but his hands held Song Ci tightly, preventing her from getting hurt.
His movements were very cautious, as if the person in his arms was not a person but a fragile treasure.
Pei Ji then saw clearly that Huai Zhen was holding a handkerchief and wiping the corner of Song Ci's mouth. There was some black medicine on her lips. He was immediately anxious, "What did you give her?"
"Let me go." Huai Zhen looked at his hands, which were still tightly grasping his shoulders. The man looked weak, but he had some skills.
"Speak!" he scolded, ordering A-Lin, "Surround this place. If he doesn't explain clearly, arrest everyone in the room."
"What a great power." Huai Zhen's face turned cold and his tone was unfriendly.
The old ghost hurried over, dipped some of the medicine, smelled it, and then he felt relieved, "It's okay, this is some medicine to replenish the mind. Huaizhen, what did you do to Song Ci?"
