With a "click", the door opened and closed again.
Ling Qingwan came back to her senses, regulated her breathing, and sneered in her heart. The person she was waiting for finally came. She pretended not to know and continued to lie quietly on the bed.
The man in black rushed to the bed, drew the soft sword from his waist, and stabbed Ling Qingwan fiercely.
Ling Qingwan stretched out two fingers and lightly grasped the sword. With a slight movement of her fingers, the soft sword changed direction and stabbed straight at the man in black.
The man in black dodged hurriedly, somersaulted in the air, and fell to the ground in a mess.
"You actually know martial arts!"
Ling Qingwan stood up and chuckled, "I know a lot more, Hongxiu."
When she heard her own name, Hongxiu knew that she had been exposed. She gave up fighting and took out a bullet from her arms, threw it to the ground, and quickly retreated to the door.
But as soon as the door opened, she froze there, looking down in disbelief at the wooden hairpin that pierced her chest.
Ling Qingwan walked slowly over from behind the thick smoke and chuckled, "I'm afraid you can't go back to tell your master."
Before Hongxiu could ask anything, he slowly fell down and died, but not a drop of blood came out.
Ling Qingwan carried the person and walked out of the yard.
The snow had stopped blowing and the ground was covered with thick snow, which made the surroundings brighter. Soon, a trail of footprints was left on the smooth snow.
After leaving the yard, he walked down the mountain for a while until he reached the official road, then he tiptoed and headed towards the back mountain in the opposite direction.
After finding a clean open space and putting the person on the ground, Ling Qingwan took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, pulled out the cork, and poured the liquid inside on Hongxiu's body.
There was a sizzling sound, and the body and the snow underneath melted away quickly. Soon, there was nothing left on the ground except a piece of empty space created by the melting snow.
“Click—”
"Who's there!" Ling Qingwan's eyes flashed and she rushed towards the source of the voice.
Turning around the big tree, Ling Qingwan saw a handsome man leaning against the tree. Her eyes lit up and her heroic eyebrows raised slightly.
This man has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose and a wide mouth. His facial lines are cold and tough. His pair of peach blossom eyes soften this handsome face. A small black mole under the right eye corner adds a bit of romanticism.
He was wearing a black brocade with narrow sleeves, and a piece of black jade with extraordinary carvings hung on his waist. He leaned against the tree in a leisurely manner, and there was a jar of the best girl's red wine next to him. If it weren't for his pale lips, Ling Qingwan would have thought he was a rich young man who came to drink and enjoy the snow.
"The girl is really good at this." The man saw her coming and was not panicked at all. He picked up the jar of wine beside him and was about to drink.
Ling Qingwan narrowed her eyes and said at the right time: "If you drink this wine, you will definitely die."
Wei Xun paused, and immediately became alert, with a dangerous look in his peach blossom eyes: "If you come to kill me, I advise you to think twice."
Ling Qingwan glanced at the pattern on the jade pendant on his waist and recognized his identity. She secretly thought that it was easy to get, and said with a smile: "Of course I am not here to kill you, on the contrary, I can save you."
"Do you know what poison I was poisoned with?" Wei Xun opened his thin lips slightly, his murderous intent unabated.
Ling Qingwan ignored his murderous intent and nodded: "You were poisoned by 'Ant Bite'. If I guess correctly, the poison is taking effect on you now. Your whole body is in pain as if being bitten by millions of ants. The more you use your internal energy to suppress it, the more painful it will be."
"Can you solve it?" Wei Xun looked at her with inquiry in his eyes.
Ling Qingwan took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and threw it at him: "Take one pill three times a day, and you will be cured in a month."
Wei Xun looked at the bottle with inquiring eyes, raised his head and wanted to ask something, but there was no figure of the woman in front of him.
"Your Highness, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please punish me." Wei Yi landed on the snow not far away, knelt on one knee, and buried his head very low.
Wei Xun put the porcelain bottle into his arms and said, "Carry me back."
Wei Yi was stunned, looked up and saw Wei Xun sweating profusely, and was horrified, so he hurried forward. The moment his hands touched the other person's body, he felt his body suddenly shaken, and stopped immediately.
Wei Xun gritted his teeth, tried to steady his voice, and said, "Let's go!"
Wei Yi did not dare to hesitate. He carried Wei Xun on his back and hurried back to the northern suburbs camp. When he saw Wei Shi coming, he shouted, "Go find Uncle Liu!"
Wei Shi knew that Wei Xun was in trouble, so he didn't bother to ask more questions and hurried to the medical tent in the back. No one noticed that someone quietly left in the dark.
Liu Yutang hurried into the tent and saw that the "Jade-faced King of Hell", who usually had great endurance, was trembling with pain. In the freezing weather, his whole body was soaked, which showed how much pain he was enduring.
He did not dare to hesitate and hurried forward, asking Wei Yi to hold down Wei Xun's trembling arm and take his pulse, but his face became increasingly gloomy.
"What happened?" Wei Shi asked anxiously when he saw Liu Yutang withdrew his hand.
Liu Yutang's face was solemn: "The prince has been poisoned. This poison is called 'ant bite'. When it occurs, it is as painful as being bitten by thousands of ants, hence the name."
"What?" Wei Shi looked at Wei Xun in disbelief, who was sweating profusely but didn't say a word.
Wei Yi was horrified and asked him, "Is there any way to detoxify?"
Liu Yutang shook his head slowly and said, "This poison has disappeared with the extinction of the Luhu tribe. There is no antidote in the world. I can only control it, not cure it."
Wei Xun was in great pain, but his mind was clear. He remembered what the girl said and said, "I have a medicine bottle in my arms. Uncle Liu, take it out and have a look."
Liu Yutang found the porcelain bottle as he instructed, opened it and took a sniff, and immediately his eyes lit up.
He quickly poured out a pill and handed it to his mouth: "Your Highness, take it to relieve the pain."
Wei Xun knew that he would not harm him, so he swallowed the pill without saying a word. Within just three breaths, he felt the pain in his body eased.
Seeing that he felt better, Liu Yutang asked carefully, "Your Highness, did you find this from the person who poisoned you?"
He thought of that woman, narrowed his eyes, and asked instead of answering, "Is this really the antidote?"
"Whether it is an antidote or not, I still have to examine it in more detail. However, the medicine used here is consistent with the one I want to use, and it is even better. That's why I dare to give it to Your Highness." Liu Yutang explained.
Wei Xun nodded and said, "Wei Shi, find out where the group of people today came from and who in the barracks has contacted the outside world in the past few days."
"Go and inform Ling Xiao that we will return to Beijing in three days!"
"Your Majesty, the prince left the camp an hour ago. He said that his biological sister was found and is in Baicang Town. He asked for your permission to leave first and escort his sister back to the capital." Wei Shi reported.
Thinking of Wei Xun asking him to investigate the people who had contact with the outside world, he suddenly looked up at Wei Xun.
"It can't be him." Wei Xun said decisively, "Let him go, and just follow my instructions first."
"yes!"
Wei Xun touched the porcelain bottle in his hand, sniffed the faint scent of jasmine, and his eyes darkened: "Wei Shi, go help me check this person."
