Chapter 21 (1): She Overheard Something Incredible
Yan Ruozhen took off his hand and checked her own body temperature. It was just a little hot, not a high fever as he said. She was also very happy that he could get a little angry for her.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch his handsome face. Huang Chenling was stunned by her actions. She said with a chuckle: "The second prince who is unpromising is the one who harmed the villain yesterday. The villain was caught in the rain."
Those who are suffering from wind and cold, okay, I should go back and rest as soon as possible."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately stood up and left. Huang Chenling was too late to catch her, so he looked at her helplessly and walked away with unsteady steps.
As soon as she went out, she quickly went back to her private room, took some antipyretic pills, lay down tiredly on the bed, and fell asleep.
In the afternoon, Huang Chenling sent someone to inquire about Yan Ruocheng's situation, and asked her servants to cook some rice porridge for her, but she must not let her know that it was his order.
In the evening, when she woke up, she smelled a large pot of rice porridge placed on the wooden table, which was just what she wanted. She was hungry, so she ate it regardless of whether the rice porridge was still there or not.
It's warm, it must have been brought here not long ago.
She wondered if it was Huang Chenling who asked someone to bring it. Then, two servants came in with buckets, ready to change the water for washing her face. When they saw that she was awake, they said with some attentiveness: "Master Ghost Doctor"
, you’re awake, do you think the rice porridge still tastes to your taste?”
"Well, it's delicious, thank you." She thanked her naturally and asked deliberately: "How did you know that I wanted to eat rice porridge?"
After they looked at each other, they seemed to be hiding something and said, "When we came to clean your room just now, we made rice porridge when we saw you falling asleep uncomfortably. I guess the ghost doctor must also be hungry."
I hope the ghost doctor doesn’t mind us being so nosy.”
"It's okay. Thanks to your rice porridge, I regained my energy. Thank you. You can go do your work and leave me alone." Yan Ruozhen said wisely. She naturally knew who the person they wanted to hide was. Look at them all.
She was Huang Chenling's servant, she knew it at a glance.
"Okay, let's get busy." The two of them changed the water and went out.
Yan Ruozhen washed her face, put on her little doggy style, and wanted to go for a walk and get some fresh air. Since she still felt a little tired, she stopped disturbing Huang Chenling and went for a walk alone.
In the evening, the shops in the village were lit up. She didn't go far, so she sat on a bench by the bridge to enjoy the cool air, watching the passers-by passing by. Among them, a figure caught her attention.
This figure was the herb collector she had seen last time. He was holding a bag of things as if he was rushing somewhere. She was curious and got up to follow him.
The direction the man was taking was heading to the village chief's home. She became even more curious. Could he be looking for the village chief?
After arriving, she guessed it correctly. She saw him saying hello to the village chief's servants and then went in.
She wanted to go in and see what medicines the herb gatherer had in his gourd, so she pretended to come to help the village chief's son check his condition, and gave an excuse to the servants, who took her in.
The village chief was not in the hall, so the servant went to inform the village chief and told her to wait in the hall and not to wander around. She felt that the servant was so cautious and did not send multiple servants to keep an eye on her. She must have other servants.
People don't know where they have gone.
Then, she vaguely heard someone's scream coming from somewhere. Her ears were quite sensitive. It was a woman's scream. No one was watching her anyway, so she followed the sound.
Source, I searched for it and saw a relatively remote wing with candlelight from a distance.
She walked around to the side window of the wing, and peeked slightly, and saw a woman's scream coming from inside, as if she was shouting abnormally.
A woman with loose black hair had her hands and feet tied to an iron chair. Her clothes were not like the people in the village, but like the clothes of the people in the mountains. Generally, people in the mountains like to wear some fur clothes as a decoration. This reminded her of a time when
I heard from the villagers that the village chief's son married a woman from the mountain. Could this be the bride he married? Is the village chief's son going to marry a lunatic?
Later, she secretly saw the herb picker grinding some medicinal herbs with a medicinal roller. The appearance of this medicinal herb was something she had never seen before, because the color was red, and even the leaves were dark red, and they were a bit too long.
Mosquito plant. But it has two mouths and one pair of mouths. What kind of herb does it come from?
The village chief walked around inside and anxiously asked the herbal collector: "How long will it take to crush her? The potency of her medicine is about to expire, and once it passes, the blood drawn out will not be useful."
"It must be crushed until it turns black." The herb picker said slowly and carefully.
"Why are you bringing it here now? Didn't you tell me that I wanted it in a hurry?" the village chief said angrily.
"Bailinghuang is not an ordinary medicinal herb. It is not something you can get if you want it. This is the last production of this season. If this woman's blood still can't react with it, we will have to wait until next year." The herb collector.
He said calmly.
Yan Ruozhen eavesdropped on something terrible. It turned out that those herbs were Bai Linghuang, and she had to go back and tell Huang Chenling. She speculated that they were using this woman to test the medicine, and she had to call someone quickly to stop it.
