Chapter 48: Plotting against Princess Zhao Ran [The Evil Second Female Character] is online...
When Yin Zhiyi woke up, he saw Yan Yanshiman was already ready to go.
The speed is astonishing.
If he hadn't still looked so pale, she would have thought that his injuries had healed.
"Let me do it." She wanted to take the bag from Yan Shiman's hand, which contained some things Aunt Lin had prepared for the two of them, including medicine and clothes.
Although it was not very heavy, it was somewhat inhumane to let a seriously injured soldier carry the luggage.
When Aunt Lin handed the things to her yesterday, she secretly put some silver into the rice jar.
Yan Shiman did not try to be stubborn. He obediently handed the things to Yin Zhiyi.
His face was so pale that it was almost transparent. The morning light fell on him, outlining the taut shoulder lines under the thin inner garment. Yin Zhiyi's eyes swept over his knuckles that were abnormally bluish, and then moved away without a sound.
She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a scream from outside the door.
"Ouch! Your face! How did it become like this--" Aunt Lin held Ye Lianqing's face, her face full of heartache.
"Mom! Be gentle, be gentle!"
Aunt Lin reached out to touch it, and Ye Lianqing cried out in pain.
As soon as Yin Zhiyi pushed the door open, he saw two huge slap marks on Ye Lianqing's originally handsome face, the skin at the corner of his mouth was broken, and his right eye was almost swollen and could not be opened.
You had a beautiful face, but now it’s hard to open your eyes.
"Brother Ye, your face..."
Her heart skipped a beat, and her first reaction was to suspect Yan Shiman, but she saw a hint of surprise in that man's eyes out of the corner of her eye. Moreover, Yan Shiman was so badly injured, and he was in the same room with her yesterday, so she really didn't notice anything unusual, and for a moment she felt a little strange.
Hearing the girl's concerned question, Lin Lianqing hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves, fearing that his sweetheart would see his embarrassing appearance.
He didn't know why, but when he woke up in the morning, not only his face was burning, but his hands were too.
It's like being possessed by a ghost.
He covered it up and said, "Nothing...nothing wrong! I just got up and fell last night!"
"Miss Yin, I'll go find Uncle Lin first. I'll ask him to drive the ox cart over here so we can go to the county today."
Having said that, he covered his face and ran out.
Before Yin Zhiyi could react, he saw that the man had already rushed out a long way.
Seeing that the annoying person finally disappeared from his sight, Yan Shiman's mouth corners slightly raised.
Just a little bit of puppet thread made him so embarrassed, what a useless person.
Look how he is still walking around with that face.
In a moment, the smile on his lips froze.
The pain of his meridians reversing surged upward, and he couldn't help but cover his lips and cough lightly a few times.
Yin Zhiyi narrowed her eyes slightly. She just saw the direction of the slap mark on Ye Lianqing's face. It seemed that he slapped him himself. This was very abnormal. She remembered that in the plot, Yan Shiman often used puppet strings, which seemed to be able to control behavior. She looked over with a faint gaze.
Then Yan Shiman suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Blood dripped onto the collar, blooming a glaring red.
For a moment, she was busy helping the person sit down, and ignored the rapid thoughts in her mind.
-
The ox cart swayed as it drove out of the village. The long and quiet mountain path gradually shrank into a dot. Uncle Lin was driving the cart in front, and Ye Lianqing was sitting next to him.
The front was already narrow, so Uncle Lin cursed and told Ye Lianqing to sit in the back.
But Ye Lianqing felt ashamed to have such a face, and the more he was called, the more he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
There was really no other way, so he said anxiously: "Uncle Lin, please watch the road, don't let yourself fall into the ditch!"
"Humph, what are you talking about? This old cow has been with me for twenty years. He understands human nature better than a little bastard like you!"
Seeing that he couldn't drive the person away, Uncle Lin simply stopped wasting his breath.
In addition to Yin Zhiyi and Yan Shiman, there were several villagers going to the market behind the car. They all looked at the two of them curiously.
For the sake of convenience, Yin Zhiyi simply did not change back into women's clothes, but instead tied her hair up.
She was fair-skinned, with a pretty face that made people unable to take their eyes off her. Although her eyebrows and eyes were a bit sharp, they concealed a sharp edge.
He looks just like a handsome scholar.
She gave the two girls beside her a friendly smile.
Immediately, the two little girls who were stealing glances at her blushed.
Although there were often outsiders coming and going in their village, this was the first time they had seen such a handsome young man.
Yin Zhiyi lowered her eyes, looking as if she was in a daze, but in fact she was thinking about the next plot.
The ox cart drove to the gate of Ciyu County and stopped.
Suddenly there was a commotion ahead.
"Protect the emperor! Hurry and call a doctor. Her Royal Highness the Princess has fainted."
The call of "Princess" immediately brought Yin Zhiyi back to her senses.
This person flashed quickly through her mind.
——Princess Zhaoran.
Isn’t that the vicious second female lead that she fawns over in the plot?
The elder sister of the current emperor, the book introduces her as having an arrogant and domineering personality, acting licentiously, and liking to collect all kinds of handsome men. The princess's mansion has countless male favorites.
After meeting Yan Shiman, the prodigal son turned over a new leaf and Neptune changed his mind.
But Yan Shiman refused to obey, so she used various means such as drugging and forcing him to marry, using every possible means. In the end, he ended up with the same miserable fate as the original owner and was turned into a human skin puppet.
As for the human skin puppet, it is self-evident who did it.
Originally, I was supposed to meet him in Xianyun County, but I didn't expect that he would meet him earlier after going around in circles.
She remembered that in the original plot, Princess Zhaoran encountered the Yinhunsongsha on her way back to Xianyun County from Ciyu County. Although she was accompanied by a Taoist priest, she was unfortunately entangled. Yan Shiman kindly helped her, but unexpectedly the princess fell in love with him at first sight.
She recalled what the county lady's wife had said on the boat earlier, and thought that the distinguished guest might be the princess.
But it seemed a little strange that a princess of a great country would condescend to come to such a small border town for a flower-viewing banquet.
Yin Zhiyi glanced at the princess's attendants, but did not see anyone who looked like the Heavenly Master among them.
She remembered that he should be an elder of the Northern School of Heavenly Masters, who was specially sent by the emperor to protect the princess.
Is this considered a plot change? The plot point of the ghost marriage was originally supposed to be encountered by the princess on the return journey by water, which were the floating coffins in the water they had encountered before, but now the time has not come yet and the princess has already encountered them.
Was it an accident, or did the person behind the scenes do it on purpose?
Whether it was the evil spirit nurtured in Wangyou Villa or the water evil on the Yishui River, it eventually flowed to Xianyun County, at the foot of the imperial city.
The answer is already obvious.
Yin Zhiyi's eyes darkened. This was the person she saw in Yan Shiman's dream, but she was not sure about his identity.
It seems that his luck has been intercepted twice in a row and he can no longer sit still.
-
Here——
If something goes wrong with the princess in Ciyu County, it's a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of all nine generations of her clan!
What's more, the current emperor regards his eldest sister, who is from the same mother as him, as his precious eye, and he made a big fuss all of a sudden.
The doctor came hurriedly carrying a medicine box, followed by a group of soldiers. Walking in front was a middle-aged man with a big belly.
Princess Ci Yu was shaking with anxiety.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The officers and soldiers surrounded the sedan chair.
The people around were all dispersed, but because it was the only way to enter the city, everyone just watched from a distance and did not disperse.
Yin Zhiyi looked from afar and could only see a thin wisp of ghostly air floating above the sedan chair.
The doctor invited by Princess Ciyu is the most skilled physician in the county. He is worth a fortune and the consultation fee is no different from cutting off the princess's flesh. But right now, money is of no concern. The most important thing is to save the only head.
As soon as Doctor Zhang finished checking her pulse, the county lady came up impatiently, asking anxiously, "How is it?"
Doctor Zhang shook his head, frowning.
Seeing Doctor Zhang's serious expression, Lady Ci Yu's heart sank instantly. In an instant, she even thought about where to bury herself.
Doctor Zhang continued to frown and said, "Your Highness is in good health."
After hearing these words, Lady Ci Yu was breathless and looked unhappy.
It's okay, why is he frowning?
"Then why did His Highness faint?"
Doctor Zhang stroked his goatee, pondered for a while, and said under the expectant gaze of Princess Ciyu: "I am also wondering why His Highness suddenly fainted."
There was a rare look of confusion on his face. He had traveled all over the country with his master in his early years, and now that the master was in his seventies, he had symptoms that he could not diagnose. The pulse was clearly normal, and the eldest princess' pulse was even stronger than that of ordinary people.
“…”
"So you didn't diagnose anything?"
"No." Doctor Zhang shook his head and took out the medical book he compiled. "Your Highness's symptoms can be recorded in the medical book. It will be a valuable asset for future generations."
Princess Ci Yu tried hard to suppress the urge to take action, but she couldn't help wailing in her heart, where is her one thousand taels of silver!
Just invite such a useless old thing!
But in line with the principle of making the best use of everything, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then do you have any way to wake His Highness up quickly?"
…
Yin Zhiyi knew without thinking what was being said over there that it was useless to diagnose someone's pulse because of ghosts and gods.
Although this book is set in the supernatural, the belief in ghosts, including those Taoist priests who catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, is not common among the people.
There are very few Heavenly Masters, and many of them use the name of Heavenly Master to defraud people.
After this happened too many times, it was no longer recognized by the people.
However, in this book, the aristocratic families and princes and nobles believed in these things without a doubt and were very devout.
…
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Princess had not yet woken up, Lady Ciyu became really panicked and actually started posting notices throughout the city seeking medical help.
As soon as he entered the city, Yin Zhiyi rushed to the shop selling paper, pens, and cinnabar.
The talismans she had drawn before were all damaged by water. She was a little worried about not having anything to rely on, so she bought a peach wood sword and a few Bagua mirrors.
She stuffed one of the Bagua mirrors into Yan Shiman's hand.
After stuffing it in, she remembered that although she had always pretended to be blind and Yan Shiman had never taken the initiative to reveal that he was an evil cultivator in front of her, it could not change the fact that this man was an evil cultivator, and he seemed to have no use for this thing.
However, she just changed the original "stuffing" to "passing".
Ask politely: "Do you want it?"
She waited for Yan Shiman to refuse, and then put the Bagua mirror back into her sleeve, but she didn't expect that this man actually wanted it.
Well, I don't understand, but I respect.
Yan Shiman watched the person in front of him take the yellow paper and cinnabar and asked, "Miss, do you want to exorcise the evil spirit for the princess?"
Yin Zhiyi selected things very quickly, and only paid some attention to him after he had finished selecting.
You guessed it right.
She sighed and said without hiding anything: "Yes."
Yan Shiman didn't seem to expect that she would admit it so quickly, his eyes darkened a little: "This matter has nothing to do with you, young lady, why do you want to get involved in this mess?"
Yin Zhiyi turned around and met his gaze: "If I don't go, you will go too, right?"
