Chapter 40 I may not lose

If it were said that before she was beaten, Zhao would only dare to launch rumors to attack her.

After being punished, she even removed the last fig leaf and openly targeted her.

On the first day, Lin Ximeng applied the Chinese medicine ointment prepared by herself and fell into a drowsy sleep all day long.

When I woke up in the evening, I found that the dinner only consisted of three cold steamed buns and a few plates of vegetarian dishes, without even a trace of meaty taste.

Zijin was furious and said that this was what Zhao Liangdi meant.

"The people in the dining room said these are not greasy and will help the master recover from his injuries. The slaves are useless. I can't argue with them."

"Fool"

Lin Ximeng lay on the bed and smiled weakly.

"Zhao Liangdi is blocking the sky with one hand in the backyard, how can you possibly defeat her?"

"Then do we have to endure it all the time? The master doesn't know when he will come back. If we continue to endure it, we will die."

"Has anyone been here?"

Lin Ximeng suddenly asked.

Qingqing drooped her head: "Everyone is avoiding us, who will come here?"

"Cui Liangren didn't come either?"

"No"

Lin Ximeng shook her head and laughed: "That's all, it's okay not to come."

She leaned on the bedside like a cat and rubbed her nose, with a relaxed smile on her face when she raised her head again.

"Of course I can't sit still and wait for death, I always want to save my life."

She asked Qingqing to bring the food to her, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, she ate some steamed buns with vegetables, and drank less than half a bowl of kelp porridge.

Zhao Liangdi was probably afraid of being caught.

Although they are all vegetarian, they don't dare to be too sloppy. The food is still fresh and clean, and they are all edible.

After dinner, Lin Ximeng was full and fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was time to change the dressing the next morning.

Qingqing took the ointment prepared by her master and opened the quilt, her eyes wet with tears again.

"If you hadn't been prepared, you would have been disabled right now."

"If you break your bones and muscles, it will be difficult for you to stand up in your life."

Lin Ximeng grabbed the pillow with both hands and bit a ball of cotton in her mouth, her hands and feet trembling slightly.

"Hurry up, I can't bear it for long"

Qingqing wiped away her tears and carefully applied the black ointment to the pulpy flesh little by little.

Every time she moved, the master would bury his face in the pillow and tremble violently, his whole body shaking like chaff.

"Master, think of a way, they will come back again."

After finally taking the medicine, Lin Ximeng took half an hour to wake up completely.

She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her voice sounding like a mosquito.

"Dagui has contacted Wang Dafu, Zhao Hai's apprentice in the front yard. He will send a message to the master. Wang Dafu also knows the eunuchs in the palace and will send news to the palace if he has the opportunity."

She didn't want to rely on the queen.

But now that my life is at stake here, I have to make two preparations.

This is the last step.

She knew very well that any benefit she received from the queen would have to be exchanged for ten times the benefit.

The Queen is the shrewdest businessman in the world.

——

The food on the second day was almost the same as the first day.

On the third and fourth days, it got even worse. Even the spinach and tofu were gone and replaced with winter melon and Chinese cabbage.

"They bully people too much, they bully people too much." Qingqing almost cried.

Lin Ximeng smiled bitterly for a while, then raised her hand and poured all the food down.

"First they found someone to pretend to be a ghost to scare me, then they spread rumors to attack me, then they found reasons to beat me up, and finally they deprived me of meals."

"Even Cui Liangren has never been targeted like this, right?"

"Perhaps my invisible status is higher than Cui Liangren? Master Liangdi really flatters me."

Qingqing wiped away her tears.

"It doesn't matter, master, if you bear with me as long as you want, I will be back soon. No matter what happens, the queen will not save you."

Before he finished speaking, Dagui rushed in like the wind.

Before Qingqing could scold him for being reckless, he cried and reported it.

"All the letters sent by Wang Dafu were intercepted. A total of two people were sent, and no one was left alive."

"What?"

Lin Ximeng shook his head and froze in place.

"No one was left alive? Zhao Liangdi dares to kill someone?"

Dagui didn't understand this, he just said that his master was not in the capital, and there were even more ridiculous things.

The same goes for the Second Prince's Mansion.

Li Liangdi's child disappeared without any reason. Some people blamed it, but everyone knew that was not the truth.

Every prince's backyard is a deep quagmire.

After being stunned for a long time, Lin Ximeng murmured to herself.

"She really wants to kill me."

"Keep an eye on those people and never let them die no matter what."

"I want to see if Zhao Liangdi has the ability to kill me before the master comes back."

——

March 24th was the sixth day after Lin Ximeng was beaten.

The dining room is already skimping on meals, changing three meals a day to two.

Zhao Liangdi sent someone to tell them that there was a drought in the north recently. Even the Queen and the Empress in the palace were practicing frugality, so naturally the Prince's Mansion could not afford to waste.

Not to mention Bibo Garden, even the master's study in the front yard has been replaced with two meals.

Lin Ximeng sneered.

That means the master is not here.

Do you still dare to wait until the master comes back to see them?

It was obvious that Zhao Liangdi was here only for herself.

She gritted her teeth and endured it.

March twenty-eight.

The tenth day of Lin Ximeng’s beating.

The wound did not fester, nor did it continue to recover.

The food he eats is poor, his nutrition is not up to par, his body has lost weight, and his face is gray.

In early April, on the sixteenth day of the beating, Lin Ximeng's wounds began to fester.

Next comes suppuration, infection, and high fever.

At this time, she couldn't even take a bite of food.

On the tenth day of April, Zhao Liangdi came to Bibo Garden.

This time she didn't beat around the bush and asked directly where the four people were.

"Lin Ximeng, don't say you don't know."

"If you tell me, Ben Liangdi will restore your diet and find a doctor for you right now."

"Otherwise, just wait until you die of illness."

She only gave half a stick of incense.

Lin Ximeng shook his head.
