Lin Zhan's body shook a bit, and she quickly grabbed the object next to her to steady herself, but she didn't expect to hold a soft object. Confused, she pinched it.
The next second, a man's chuckle sounded, and Lin Zhan was startled. Murong Hui said, "It turns out that the little fox also has a fearful side."
"Who said I'm scared? Where are you taking us?" Lin Zan's face tightened and he quickly retracted his hand.
The carriage was silent for a while before Murong Hui's voice rang out again. "Of course I'm going to take you to a place where the prince will never find you."
After he finished speaking, Lin Zan clearly heard Si Xueyi beside him take a breath and seemed to be shaking with fear.
Lin Zhan lay down in the carriage very easily. His carefree look made Murong Hui frown.
"That means the journey is very long. I'll take a nap first and you can call me when we get there." Lin Zhan yawned as if he was relaxed, then fell asleep with his head tilted.
Murong Hui became even more curious about her behavior.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped. Lin Zhan woke up immediately, but his body did not move. Instead, he moved his ears slightly to listen to the movements around him.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, but Lin Zhan's heart was beating like a drum. At this moment, she realized someone was hugging her, so she immediately turned over and stood up.
"Little fox, I knew you were not asleep." Murong Hui's voice sounded in Lin Zhan's ears, and the next second, the black cloth on Lin Zhan's eyes was taken off.
Lin Zhan, who had regained her sight, felt that the sunlight in front of her eyes was a little dazzling. When she got used to the light, she opened her eyes and looked forward, and found an quaint and elegant house in front of her.
Murong Hui next to him stretched out his hand, and in his palm there were several tourmaline beads of excellent quality.
"You are quite smart. You threw the bead on the road. I guess you wanted the prince to find the bead and save you, right?" Murong Hui said to Lin Zan with interest.
Lin Zan was shocked. He didn't expect that his intention was discovered by him. He said nothing.
Murong Hui, who had already realized the whole story, just smiled faintly and threw a few tourmaline beads to the subordinates beside him.
Afterwards, Lin Zan and Si Xueyi were brought into the house and imprisoned in different rooms.
By the evening, Lin Zhan finally had a normal meal, but she would have enjoyed the meal more if Murong Hui was not in her sight.
After Lin Zhan had eaten and drunk his fill, he said to Murong Hui in front of him, "Why did you grab me here? Don't you like Si Xueyi?"
"You finally asked this question. I thought you could hold it in a little longer. But I'm a little curious, why do you think I like Si Xueyi?" Murong Hui looked at Lin Zan with an unfathomable smile on his face.
Lin Zhan almost blurted out the words, because that was how the original book set up the story. Fortunately, she still had some sense and swallowed the words back.
Then he made up a random story. "Because Si Xueyi saved you, and she's pretty and kind, isn't it natural for you to like her?"
After he finished speaking, Murong Hui, who was sitting there, burst into laughter. His smile was crazy and his face was a little distorted.
"Being beautiful and kind is bullshit. I can have as many women like her as I want. What makes you think I would fall in love with that pretty but brainless vase?" Murong Hui commented viciously on Si Xueyi.
Lin Zhan had never expected such a development. She looked at Murong Hui in disbelief and murmured, "You don't like Si Xueyi, so why did you listen to me and kidnap Si Xueyi?"
"You are wrong. My target from the beginning to the end was not that woman, but you. I only brought that woman here to meet your requirements, otherwise I would have thrown her into the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes long ago." Murong Hui said cruelly.
After the words fell, Lin Zhan was shocked. She never expected that Si Xueyi was a buy-one-get-one-free gift, and hers was the original authentic product.
After everything was revealed, Murong Hui stood up and walked to Lin Zhan's side. He lifted her young face and looked at her carefully. "Your golden needle technique can suppress the poisonous insects in my body. You look young, are you the daughter of the Medical Immortal?"
"No, the Medical Immortal is already very old. Even if he has a daughter, she shouldn't be your age. Are you the Medical Immortal's granddaughter?"
Murong Hui stood there and kept guessing, while Lin Zan's mind was in a state of confusion. Now she had reason to believe that the so-called medical genius was most likely the dean, her own master.
Seeing Lin Zhan sitting there in silence, Murong Hui grabbed her chin tightly, and his tone suddenly became cold. "Tell me, what is your relationship with the Medical Immortal? If you don't tell me, I will let you taste the bite of thousands of snakes."
"Wait a minute, I know you are the young master of Baitong Pavilion, so you must be well-informed and know that I grew up in the palace. As soon as I heard the name of that medical immortal, I knew he was a man of the world. How could I be related to him?"
"The reason I have the willow-leaf golden needle is that I accidentally found it in the imperial palace treasury. It has nothing to do with the so-called medical immortal. You must find out clearly."
Lin Zan spoke hastily, fearing that if he spoke a second later, his little chin, which had not yet grown, would be crushed by the moody man in front of him.
After the voice fell, the atmosphere instantly became solemn. Murong Hui stared at Lin Zan with eyes like a poisonous snake, and did not say anything for a long time.
Then Murong Hui finally let go of Lin Zhan's chin, which made Lin Zhan feel relieved. "If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences."
"I know. Aren't I just going to be thrown into a cave of thousands of snakes by you? I value my life and will never lie to you." Lin Zan quickly raised her little hand and said.
Murong Hui snorted coldly and turned away. Lin Zan finally escaped the disaster and his body turned limp like a ball of mud. He fell on the bed and fell asleep soon.
On the other side, Jun Beiqi and others traveled day and night and finally found the bamboo house where Lin Zan and Si Xueyi were imprisoned before, but it was empty.
At this moment, a man from the Imperial Guard found the bamboo rat that had been gnawed to the point that only a skeleton was left.
"It seems that they were gone not long ago." Jun Beiqi narrowed his eyes and looked at the skeleton that had been gnawed cleanly. He seemed to have seen how Lin Zan was gnawing on the bamboo rat with all his might.
