Faced with the abnormal food, Ji Lingxue, who has always been picky about food, decided that she would rather go hungry and have no strength than eat stale rice and torture her stomach.
When the hungry women in the carriage saw that Ji Lingxue didn't eat, they shared all the rotten rice.
Lian Xin looked at Ji Lingxue, smiled and shook her head. She swallowed her saliva. She had been stubborn and refused to accept bad things before, but recently she had succumbed to the evil forces. She wanted to live.
Ji Lingxue sat up slowly. Her injured leg made it extremely difficult for her to do this. She groped the carriage wall, which was made of iron plates. Even the carriage windows were sealed, so she couldn't see outside at all. The door was only opened once to deliver the stale rice and had never been opened again.
As time passed, Ji Lingxue touched her flat belly. This was the third time that it made a gurgling sound. She cursed Yuchi Gongru, the pervert, in her heart.
Ji Lingxue: Damn Yuchi pervert, why did he kidnap so many girls for no reason? Is he really the murderer of the faceless female corpse case
Imagining the weird scene of those girls lying on the cold ground, with the pervert Yuchi cutting their faces with a knife, Ji Lingxue felt sick.
Just when Ji Lingxue was daydreaming, someone suddenly patted her shoulder. She felt like her soul was about to leave her body. Fortunately, her mute point was pressed, so she did not scream.
Ji Lingxue turned her head and looked at Lian Xin beside her. Lian Xin grabbed Ji Lingxue's hand and wrote: You stay in the corner later and don't be pushed out by them.
Ji Lingxue was confused. What does that mean
Lian Xin continued to write: In the past few days, every night, two people came and took one of our girls away. They didn’t bring her back until dawn. I was afraid that you would be killed by the time the girl was taken away...
Ji Lingxue felt a chill down her spine. Her sixth sense was always very accurate. Yuchi was indeed a pervert...
Soon, the carriage door was opened and two people stood outside, dressed in black, blending into the darkness. The moonlight shone from behind, so their faces could not be seen. Their ferocious expressions made the women in the carriage shrink and tremble and move back.
"Who is Ji Lingxue? Come out quickly." This time they didn't just grab someone randomly, but named them.
The person whose name was not called out showed a look of relief on his face, and then he looked at the women behind him with a gloating expression.
Lian Xin looked at Ji Lingxue with a worried look on her face. Ji Lingxue smiled, patted the other person's hand, raised it high and said silently: "It's me."
Ji Lingxue was taken away, the carriage door was closed again, and deathly silence returned.
Ji Lingxue looked around as soon as she got off the carriage. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but when she did, she was shocked to find that she was actually in an endless desert. The moonlight shining on the sand was a faint white.
Ji Lingxue frowned and cursed Yuchi Gongru's ancestors again. In such a short time, she actually left the border of Dongqi.
There was a white tent not far away, shining brightly in the dark night. Ji Lingxue was pushed in rudely. Ji Lingxue pouted, staggered a few steps and stood up straight.
On a soft couch, Yuchi Gongru lay lazily, taking off his black nightgown and changing into Dayan's traditional riding boots and patterned Hu clothing. His hair was tied into countless small braids and he put on a fluffy hat. In his hand, he was twirling a jewel-studded short sword, which flashed a cold light in the candlelight.
Yuchi Gongru said: "Princess Chen, are you satisfied with my hospitality?"
Being carried off the horse by him and rolled down the hill? Being locked in an iron carriage by him and only having rotten rice to eat a day
Ji Lingxue felt that Yuchi Gongru was born to jinx her, otherwise why would she always have so much bad luck whenever she met him
Ji Lingxue moved her mouth, Yuchi Gongru frowned, raised his hand and tapped Ji Lingxue twice.
Ji Lingxue said: "Thank you for your care, Third Prince. It makes me feel like I am in hell and panic."
Yuchi Gongru grinned, "This prince was plotted against by Prince Chen and Princess Chen, and was locked in an iron carriage and ate rotten rice for a month. At that time, this prince was thinking that he must let you, Princess, have a taste of this."
Ji Lingxue blinked and looked at Yuchi Gongru's evil face very innocently. She didn't plan anything. It was Xiao Yichen who planned against him, okay
Yuchi Gongru spread his hands and said, "Guess where we are now?"
Ji Lingxue asked: "How could you leave Dongqi so quickly in just one day?"
Yuchi Gongru stretched out a finger and shook it, "Not one day, but seven days. This prince knows that you, Princess, are resourceful and always want to leave some clues for the prince to track, so I had no choice but to give you some more knockout drugs to let you sleep a little longer. This time, the prince was tripped up by the unsolved case in the capital of Dongqi, and he couldn't catch up with this prince to rescue you..."
Ji Lingxue: “…”
Yuchi Gongru chuckled as if he had thought of something, "Haha, by the way... This prince has some news to tell you. There has been another case of a faceless female corpse in the capital, and this time the dead girl was wearing your clothes, Princess Chen... Hahaha, that is to say, Princess Chen, you are dead now. Xiao Yichen must be searching the whole capital for the murderer to avenge you, and he will never think that you are still alive."
Ji Lingxue's heart sank when she heard Yuchi Gongru's laughter, and she tightened her hands in her sleeves. Considering Yuchi Gongru's abnormal skills, Ji Lingxue had no choice but to endure it. Sooner or later, you will pay for what you have done.
Yuchi Gongru laughed so hard that he got out of breath, and he held his stomach and coughed. The veins in his arms gradually bulged, and it seemed that something was beating in the bulging blue veins, jumping from his arms all the way to his elbows.
Yuchi Gongru's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes darkened, and he bared his teeth and said, "Damn it..."
Ji Lingxue also noticed that something was wrong with Yuchi Gongru, but she chose to watch from the sidelines. She was happy that he was not doing well.
“Come... someone come..." Yuchi Gongru shouted, with a hint of depression in his voice.
The guards in black came in quickly. Seeing Yuchi Gongru like this, they looked unsurprised. They quickly helped Yuchi Gongru sit up, crossed his legs on the couch, and sat in a meditative posture. Another guard in black brought someone in from outside and asked, "Wait a moment, Third Prince. I will bleed you soon."
The girl shook her head in fear, screaming something. Ji Lingxue could tell what she was going to say from her mouth shape: "No... No, please let me go, don't kill me, I'll do anything..."
The person who was brought in was the girl who was in the same carriage as Ji Lingxue. She had no connection with her. Seeing the helpless tears running down the girl's pale and helpless face, Ji Lingxue's heart skipped a beat. Why did Yuchi Gongru, such a pervert, need a woman's blood to detoxify
No one answered the question in Ji Lingxue's mind. She stood aside and calmly watched the girl being pressed to the ground. The sharp knife cut a line on her index finger, and bright red liquid flowed out into the spotless white ceramic bowl. He filled a whole bowl before stopping.
The woman who was screaming but couldn't make a sound, was forced to drink a bowl of blood. She seemed to have completely surrendered. Except for her pale face, she was still in good spirits. Until the two men in black let her go, she stood there in a daze for a long time without coming to her senses.
The black-clad guard took out a packet of medicine powder from his bosom and poured it into the blood bowl. He took a pair of chopsticks and stirred it until it was thoroughly blended, then passed it in front of Yuchi Gongru. Yuchi Gongru took the blood bowl, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.
The corner of Ji Lingxue's mouth twitched. If she couldn't be a vampire, would she become a demon if she didn't drink human blood
After drinking a bowl of blood, Yuchi Gongru's arm with bulging veins gradually recovered. Cold sweat wet his forehead. He wiped it with a handkerchief and waved his hand. Two black-clothed guards dragged the woman out of the tent. Ji Lingxue and Yuchi Gongru were left in the tent again, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ji Lingxue said, "Are you poisoned?" This was the first time she had seen such a strange and overbearing poison.
Yuchi Gongru bared his teeth and said, "It was all the work of that villain Yuchi Ruge..." He suddenly stopped talking halfway and turned his head to look at Ji Lingxue, "I heard that the kid met you when he was on the verge of death. Did you cure the poison in his body?"
This woman is very capable as she can even cure such a strong poison. He risked his life to kidnap her from Xiao Yichen, and this was a very correct decision.
Ji Lingxue nodded, "Yes, but it was not me who cured him of the poison, but the maid beside me."
Yuchi Gongru's face darkened, and he felt as if he had swallowed a fly. "It's not you..." He actually kidnapped the wrong person? Then he would not return to Dongqi and kidnap another girl.
Yuchi Gongru raised his eyebrows and said, "Princess... By the way, you are not the princess now. Prince Chen must have thought you were dead and built a memorial arch for you to mourn your death. You said you fell into my hands. How should I deal with you?"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Ji Lingxue, pinching her chin and looking down at her. His cold fingers clasped Ji Lingxue's jaw. He lowered his head and moved closer to Ji Lingxue, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ji Lingxue didn't feel anything ambiguous. She had the illusion that she was being stared at by a wolf, which made her feel cold down her spine.
Yuchi Gongru stroked Ji Lingxue's cheek and said, "You Central Plains women have such delicate skin that this prince can't help but want to... take a bite!"
The last three words were spoken into Ji Lingxue's ear.
His breath sprayed on Ji Lingxue's cheek, making her want to escape, but she couldn't escape. She couldn't even tell the directions of east, west, south and north in the vast desert.
Seeing Yuchi Gongru's lips getting closer and closer, Ji Lingxue broke out in a cold sweat.
Yuchi Gongru smiled and said, "It's so cold today, why are you sweating so much, Princess?" Then he let go of her hand in disgust and wiped his fingers with a handkerchief.
Ji Lingxue exhaled and smiled calmly: "Third Prince, are you too impatient? The maids around me can detoxify, so I can do it too. Don't you want to be poisoned?"
Yuchi Gongru smiled, lowered his head and approached Ji Lingxue and said, "This prince is fine now, there is no rush to detoxify. This prince has always had a good impression of you, and now is the right time with a dark moon and strong wind."
Ji Lingxue's body was stiff, as if she was being stared at by a fly. She moved her body and leaned back, smiling, "Third Prince, the poison has been in your body for almost a month. You escaped from Yuchi Ruge, but you were poisoned by him. You must have consulted many doctors but none of them worked. You can only suppress it with internal energy..."
When mentioning poisoning, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yuchi Gongru's eyes, and the mood of teasing Ji Lingxue disappeared in an instant.
Staring at Ji Lingxue's black and white eyes, "How do you know?"
