Ji Lingxue: I guessed it right. It turns out that this is the answer to the mystery of the missing girl in Beijing. Virgin blood can be used to cure poison. This is the first time I have heard of it.
Yuchi Gongru pinched Ji Lingxue's chin again, made her look at him, and then said, "Tell me, what kind of poison is this prince in? Why can it only be suppressed by virgin blood?"
Ji Lingxue thought for a moment and said, "It's the poison of the love flower, and it can't be cured by virgin blood."
Ji Lingxue complained in her heart: Haha, I just made up a name, I don’t believe I can’t scare you!
Yuchi Gongru was stunned, he didn't know what poison he had been poisoned by. On the day the poison took effect, he had just arrived at the entrance of Dongqi Street. It was already late at night. He felt pain all over his body and felt weak. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his mouth was very dry.
He staggered towards the well at the entrance of the market, and at this moment a girl of about twelve or thirteen suddenly appeared in front of him. She was pretty and lovely. He suddenly felt his mouth become even more dry, so he went forward and hugged the girl into a dark place. Sucking blood for the first time made him feel very happy, but at the same time he was also worried that he might have some strange disease.
The next day he went to the city doctor to feel his pulse but could not find out what was wrong. After that he started kidnapping young women walking alone.
Yuchi Gongru regained his composure, stared into Ji Lingxue's eyes and asked, "What's the antidote to the love flower poison?"
Perhaps it was because Yuchi Gongru's eyes were too fierce that made Ji Lingxue feel her scalp go numb. This was really like courting death.
Ji Lingxue stretched out a finger and shook it. Suddenly, a "gurgle..." sounded. Ji Lingxue blushed, covered her still growling belly, and said awkwardly, "I'm too hungry. I can't remember."
Ji Lingxue blinked and smiled sweetly, as if to say, "If you don't please me, don't even think about detoxifying you."
Yuchi Gongru was already used to Ji Lingxue's tone and was not surprised. This time, as he needed a favor from others, he did not threaten Ji Lingxue anymore and directly ordered people to bring up roasted mutton and steamed buns.
Sitting on the soft cushion, Ji Lingxue leaned over and took a deep breath. The aroma of mutton entered her lungs, making her suddenly feel that her internal organs were crying out for hunger.
Being able to eat enough is the real happiness. Ji Lingxue ate heartily without any hesitation, which made Yuchi Gongru twitch his lips. He always thought that girls in the Central Plains would eat slowly and reservedly, but he didn't expect that there would be such a generous one.
After eating and drinking, Ji Lingxue burped contentedly. Of course, Yuchi Gongru was staring at her the whole time, causing her to almost choke.
Yuchi Gongru said, "Can I tell you now?" The poison was taking effect faster and faster, and there was no regular pattern when it came on, so he needed more and more virgin blood. When he was cured of the poison, he would take revenge on that stinky boy Ruge.
Ji Lingxue nodded. She had already thought of a plan while eating. She stretched out five fingers and listed a series of Chinese herbal medicines that can clear away heat and detoxify. "Of course, after collecting the ten Chinese herbal medicines mentioned above, you will also need a medicine guide to achieve miraculous effects."
Yuchi Gongru asked: "What kind of medicine?" He was the third prince of the Great Yan Kingdom. He had everything he wanted. As long as it existed in this world, he could dig it out.
Ji Lingxue said: "The flower of snow-covered grass."
Yuchi Gongru frowned. He had never heard that this herb could detoxify. He looked Ji Lingxue up and down and said, "You are not talking nonsense. You are looking for a chance to escape. What is snow grass? This prince has never heard of it."
Ji Lingxue rolled her eyes and said, "You haven't heard of it, that's because you are ignorant. In our poison medicine world, snow grass is a very rare detoxifying grass. It grows in the cold winter and blooms only once every three years. The flowers are transparent white."
Yuchi Gongru stared at Ji Lingxue with doubt. Seeing that Ji Lingxue's eyes were clear and confident, and she did not avoid his gaze, it did not seem like she was lying. The suspicious Yuchi Gongru believed it a little, "Then where is it?"
Ji Lingxue said: "Don't look at me like that on the snowy mountains of Dongqi. I'm not familiar with your territory of Dayan, so how would I know if you have any here? If you're worried that I'll go find the snow grass and run away, just send your people to find it."
Yuchi Gongru nodded and raised his finger. Immediately, a black-clad guard came in and dragged Ji Lingxue back into the iron carriage.
In the carriage, Lian Xin and several other women huddled together, shivering and afraid to fall asleep. Two people were dragged out tonight, and it would be their turn tomorrow, but they didn't want to die.
The iron door of the carriage creaked open, Ji Lingxue was pushed into the carriage, and the door was locked again.
Lian Xin pulled Ji Lingxue over, looked her up and down, and wrote on the palm of her hand: Are you okay
Ji Lingxue shook her head and wrote on her palm: Don't worry, I'm fine.
Lian Xin: You are the first one who was taken away by them and brought back safely. Where did they take you
Ji Lingxue: I went to meet a pervert. He was poisoned, so he treated me to a meal and asked me to help him detoxify.
Lian Xin: I’m glad you’re okay.
The night seems so long...
Your Majesty, two days have passed and Xiao Yichen still hasn't received any message from Ji Lingxue. Ever since he was kidnapped by Yuchi Gongru that night, the horse galloped all the way to the bottom of the cliff, and he lost track of Ji Lingxue and Yuchi Gongru. This guy came prepared, so it's not easy to find him. In addition, there was a faceless female corpse case in the capital, and the clothes worn by the deceased were exactly the clothes Ji Lingxue wore when she disappeared that night.
But he didn't believe that Ji Lingxue would die. This was just a mystery set by Yuchi Gongru. This time Yuchi Gongru succeeded. When the emperor heard that the second victim of the serial faceless female corpse case might be Princess Chen, he immediately summoned Xiao Yichen into the palace. The two brothers had a long chat for the first time in the afternoon.
Because the emperor was also very close to the case of the faceless female corpse, he went under great pressure and searched the capital from house to house.
Finally, they found a secret passage near the charity cemetery in the west of the city. They walked along the secret passage and discovered that the exit was outside the city. This meant that the murderer could enter the city quietly, commit the crime, and then leave quietly.
With this discovery, Xiao Yichen continued to investigate and was surprised to find that there was also a secret passage underground in the strict Guankou Village.
Just as Xiao Yichen was searching for the secret passage, he heard a rumor that going west from Guankou Village leads to Dayan and Beiling, and going east leads to the vast ocean. Recently, someone in Beiling offered a high reward for the flower of snow grass. This flower is as transparent as glass, shining with colorful colors in the sun, and can cure all kinds of poisons.
Xiao Yichen called the genius doctor Bai Mo and asked, "Do you know that the flowers of the snow grass can cure all kinds of poisons?"
Bai Mo scratched his head, looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, thought for a moment and said, "Snow Grass... I haven't heard that its flowers can detoxify. Snow Grass sounds noble and generous, but it's actually just new grass that grows under the snow... Your Majesty, where did you hear this rumor?"
"Bei Ling." Xiao Yichen said expressionlessly.
Bai Mo pinched his chin, frowned and thought: "Your Highness, I think we should go to Beiling to take a look. Someone who offers a high reward must be someone who is seriously poisoned. But he offers a reward for a flower that doesn't exist. This proves that the detoxifier said so on purpose. His purpose is not to detoxify that person. Now that the rumor has spread to us, it means that the person has been poisoned for a long time..."
Bai Mo said this while pinching his fingers to count the time.
Xiao Yichen said: "It happened at the same time as the faceless female corpse case. Do you think this coincidence is a bit mysterious?"
Bai Mo nodded, "Anyway, the prince has not found the real murderer in Dongqi. In addition, the situation has been calm these days. According to the murderer's killing habits, it has been too long. Maybe the murderer is no longer in Dongqi."
Xiao Yichen nodded, "I think so too. In the past ten days, I have turned almost every blade of grass and every tree in Dongqi upside down, but there is still no information left by the murderer. There is only one reason why he disappeared so completely, and that is that he is no longer in Dongqi."
Bai Mo clapped his hands and nodded, "That's right. Your Highness, please take me with you on your trip to Dongling this time. There will only be benefits and no harm in me staying with your Highness, hehe." He was very interested in the owner of the snow grass flower that claimed to be able to cure all poisons, and he had to go over to take a look.
Xiao Yichen nodded, and the two of them hit it off immediately. Not bothering to go back and ask the emperor for permission, they found two fast horses and headed for Dongling.
In a valley somewhere in Dongling, Ji Lingxue was taken out of the carriage again and kept in a dark space. Ji Lingxue, who had not seen the sunlight for a long time, squinted her eyes somewhat uncomfortably and covered her eyes with her hands.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and the sound of trickling water could be heard in her ears. Ji Lingxue took a deep breath and finally felt alive. It felt so good to have the sunshine.
The third prince Yuchi Gongru sat on a stone with a gray face basking in the sun. Two days had passed and his patience had reached its limit. Could it be that this woman Ji Lingxue had deceived him again? Why did he offer a high price and send so many people out to look for it, but they couldn't find even a single blade of grass
In the past few days, the poison had been getting worse and worse. Although the virgin blood had helped to delay the effects, he was still in great pain.
After getting used to the sunlight, Ji Lingxue turned around and looked around. She happened to see Captain Chi Gongru looking at her with an English gaze. She was already accustomed to this kind of look. Ji Lingxue shrugged indifferently and walked towards him.
Yuchi Gongru said, "Princess, did you sleep well in that dark carriage? Do you know how many days have passed?"
Ji Lingxue said, "Two days." Because now there are only her, Lian Xin, and a silent girl in blue in the carriage.
Yuchi Gongru snorted coldly, "Since you know this, then tell me why you can't find the medicine that cures all poisons?"
Ji Lingxue smiled and said, "That's because you ordinary people don't know how to find it. Do you think the flower of snow grass is something that is everywhere? Some people have never heard of it."
Yuchi Gongru was speechless after being rebuked. Indeed, the report from his subordinates was the same as what Ji Lingxue said.
Clenching his fist, Yuchi Gongru said, "This prince has limited time and cannot wait that long. Then you take this prince to find it."
Ji Lingxue nodded, pointed in the direction of the carriage and said, "Take them with you." The carriage couldn't move in the mountains. If they took Lian Xin and the others with them, they could escape when they found the right opportunity.
