Chapter 185 Put together, it’s the word “cheap”.
Lin Ruyu raised the knife and rushed directly towards Yun Zhao.
All I could hear was a miserable, desperate cry echoing in the alley.
When Xie Jingmo arrived, Yun Zhao was no longer in the alley.
Only Lin Ruyu was left in the alley.
She curled up on the ground, her face covered by her hair, tears trickling out of her hair.
Xie Jingmo was just about to touch her.
Lin Ruyu immediately shouted excitedly, "Don't, don't touch me! Jing Mo, please! Don't touch me!"
Xie Jingmo immediately stopped what he was doing. He whispered to Lin Ruyu, "What's wrong? Didn't you say before that Master Yaoji could cure the poison in your body? I've asked someone to find him for you. He's at the entrance of the alley."
After Xie Jingmo finished speaking, he was about to stand up and call for help.
But before he could get up, he heard Lin Ruyu excitedly say, "No! Don't call anyone! I don't want to see anyone! I don't want to see anyone!"
Xie Jingmo: "Don't you want to detoxify?!"
"Ruyu, don't be willful. Wait, I'll call someone in. I've already asked this Yaoji Zhenren. She has a way to cure the poison on your face."
As he spoke, Xie Jingmo stood up and led in an old man with a white beard.
The old man lifted the hair covering Lin Ruyu's face, and then paused.
"this……"
"Are you sure you want to detoxify?"
The old man asked.
Xie Jingmo immediately said, "Of course!"
The old man was silent for a moment. "I can cure this poison, but you have to think carefully. Once the poison is cured, the words on your face will be very clear and visible to everyone."
Xie Jingmo looked puzzled and asked, "What word?"
Lin Ruyu's tears rolled down her cheeks.
The old man was puzzled and said directly, the left and right cheeks together form the word "cheap".
Xie Jingmo frowned and looked down.
Sure enough, the word "cheap" was engraved deeply on his bumpy face.
"Is there any way?"
"I can only remove poisons, but I can't remove the words carved on her face. Moreover, it seems that these words are sprinkled with firming powder. I guess they are difficult to remove. They will accompany this girl for the rest of her life."
As soon as these words came out.
Lin Ruyu had just been crying silently, but now she burst into tears.
She threw herself into Xie Jingmo's arms, "It's Yun Zhao! Jingmo, it's Yun Zhao! She knew you found someone who could detoxify me, so she deliberately wrote on my face!"
"Jing Mo, I even knelt down and begged her. I said I would not snatch you from her. I said I could be your slave, but she refused!
She insisted that I leave you, she made me swear! When I refused, she was ruthless to me! Jing Mo, it’s all Yun Zhao! It’s all her! She would do anything to get you!
"She ruined my face!"
The old man beside him waited until Lin Ruyu finished yelling before asking in a low voice, "Excuse me, is this poison still detoxifiable?"
Xie Jingmo stood up solemnly, "Resolve it!"
When Xie Jingmo left, Lin Ruyu had already fainted. Even though she was unconscious, she was still muttering, "Jingmo, you have to avenge me! Kill Yun Zhao!"
In the military camp.
Deputy General Gao slapped his thigh and laughed out loud!
"This is something Yun Zhao would do. General, do you remember many years ago when enemy troops sneaked into our camp? Yun Zhao also poisoned them, knocked them unconscious, and then carved words on their faces!"
Xie Jingmo frowned irritably, "But Lin Ruyu is not an enemy. These methods should not be used on one's own people. Didn't you see the word 'cheap' clearly visible on Lin Ruyu's face after the poison was removed?"
Deputy General Gao disagreed. "Lin Ruyu has a deep vengeance against Yun Zhao for killing her parents. How can she not be an enemy?"
Xie Jingmo rubbed his brows and said, "Don't make things more complicated."
Deputy General Gao chuckled, "If you think Yun Zhao is at fault, why don't you go find her? Why, now that she has the Queen in her clutches, you don't dare touch her?"
When Deputy General Gao said this, he was extremely happy and proud.
I don't know, I thought he had done something great.
Deputy General Gao said, "So, now I suddenly feel that what the book says about a woman's virtue being untalented is nonsense! It's just nonsense men say to control women! It's just that men are afraid that women will become successful and they won't be able to control them better."
Xie Jingmo's eyes were gloomy.
Deputy General Gao said this in a way that sounded like a joke, but also serious. "If we're being serious, General, Yun Zhao's contributions to the army are no less than any of ours. Can you honestly say that you hid Yun Zhao's talents because you were afraid she would slip out of your control?"
Xie Jingmo sneered, "How is that possible? I'm afraid she'll be in danger if she gets caught in the crossfire at the border."
Deputy General Gao didn't argue with him. "I thought you would rush in to find Yun Zhao after Lin Ruyu's incident. I didn't expect you to be drinking alone with me here."
Xie Jingmo's eyes were gloomy. After drinking a sip of wine, he said, "Ruyu said that Yun Zhao attacked her because he was jealous of her."
Deputy General Gao poured Xie Jingmo a glass of wine. "So?"
"But I asked the palace servants who went out shopping with me, and they said that someone found Yun Zhao and led him into the alley. Someone also saw Lin Ruyu go in with a knife."
After Xie Jingmo finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.
He turned to look at Deputy General Gao's astonished face, "What?"
Deputy General Gao was astonished, "General, have you grown a brain?"
Xie Jingmo: “…”
Deputy General Gao: "Anything else?"
Xie Jingmo didn't argue with Deputy General Gao and continued, "Besides, judging by Yun Zhao's current attitude towards me, she can't be jealous of me at all. I find it hard to believe what Lin Ruyu said."
Deputy General Gao laughed out loud, "You really have a brain."
"I thought you would always think you were as handsome as Pan An, and Yun Zhao would stubbornly love you even if he died. It seems you have self-awareness."
Xie Jingmo glared at Deputy General Gao angrily, "Are you making sarcastic remarks now?"
Deputy General Gao chuckled, "General, I don't know so many profound truths, but everything has its traces. If you think carefully about everything that has happened during your time in Beijing, you will make new discoveries."
Deputy General Gao looked at Xie Jingmo's pensive face and sighed slightly.
He said in a low voice: "I just don't know if it's too late."
When Yun Zhao received the letter from Deputy General Gao who had the palace maid pass on to her, she happened to meet Mu Chengyan.
Contrary to the dark side people outside had described him as, Mu Chengyan looked at her, forced a casual smile, and said sarcastically, "I thought there was something in the capital that was worth giving up the happy life at the frontier and coming back to wade into the muddy waters. It seems that you haven't been doing well either."
Seeing his old friend, Yun Zhao relaxed.
She smiled and said, "Yes, I'm punished. Are you happy?"
Mu Chengyan snorted, "You're looking for death, what does it have to do with me?"
Yun Zhao solemnly said to Mu Chengyan: "Thank you for letting my parents be buried in Liziguai, and thank you for giving Chang Heng the life-saving medicine and repaying my kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Mu Chengyan's expression was indifferent. "In the future? I don't care about the future."
Yun Zhao was stunned. "? Then... is there anything you want now?"
Mu Chengyan said proudly, "Pick me two fresh lotus seeds from the lotus pond outside the city."
Yun Zhao: "That's it?"
Mu Chengyan hugged his chest, "I want the biggest one!"
