Cen Ling'er swallowed her saliva, followed what the book said, cut her finger with a knife, and dripped her blood on the centipede's head.
The centipede smelled the smell of blood and seemed extremely excited. After that, the Gu insects also absorbed Cen Ling'er's blood.
Just as the last drop of Cen Ling'er's blood was gone, the centipede suddenly crawled onto Cen Ling'er's hand. Cen Ling'er's arms trembled slightly. She knew that if she was bitten by the centipede at this time, she would die.
Therefore, she was a little nervous. However, the centipede seemed to have no intention of biting her because it drank her blood. Instead, it crawled along the arm and onto Cen Ling'er's shoulder. Cen Ling'er turned her head and looked at the centipede.
The centipede seemed to be looking at Cen Ling'er too. Cen Ling'er was a little nervous and closed her eyes tightly. At this time, the centipede took the opportunity to crawl onto her face. Cen Ling'er just wanted to scream, but the centipede crawled into her.
in the mouth.
Cen Ling'er's eyes suddenly widened, and the centipede had already entered Cen Ling'er's mouth. Cen Ling'er felt very sick, so she began to vomit, and even vomited out her dinner, but the centipede was missing. Cen Ling'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she lightly
Coughing lightly.
After a while, Cen Ling'er's eyes began to blur, as if he was hallucinating, and he felt dizzy, as if he had drunk too much. Cen Ling'er screamed in his heart that it was bad, he seemed to be poisoned.
Could it be that if she failed and she was poisoned by the centipede, would tonight be her last day in this world?
Cen Ling'er staggered into the dressing table, raised her head and saw herself.
She was almost frightened by her own appearance. Her face was pale and her lips were already blue. She looked at her fingers and saw that her nails also had the same blue color.
She smiled bitterly, it turned out that everything she did was a reminder for herself.
Tonight, I ended my life like this, haha!
Thinking of this, Cen Ling'er rolled her eyes and fainted to the ground.
When Cen Ling'er woke up, she was already lying on the bed. She thought she might just go there, but she didn't expect that she actually woke up.
However, who carried her to the bed? Her last consciousness seemed to be that she fell to the ground.
Also, what would happen if someone discovered the jar containing those poisonous insects?
At this time, the maid came in. Seeing that Cen Ling'er was awake, she asked nervously: "Miss, you are finally awake. The master, madam, and the third lady are all worried to death."
Cen Ling'er opened her mouth slightly, only to hear her hoarse voice ask: "What's wrong with me?"
"Miss, you have been unconscious for three days. Your face was red with fever. I was so frightened that I hurriedly went to find the madam and a doctor for you. It has been three days and the fever has gone away, but you still don't have it.
Wake up." The maid said softly.
After finishing speaking, he handed Cen Ling'er a glass of hot water.
After Cen Linger took a sip of water, she said, "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor just said that you may be too tired, and you don't know the cause of the sudden fever. By the way, when you fainted, there was an empty pickle jar next to you, and the slave didn't know what you were going to do with the jar.
, I put it over there for you." The maid said seriously.
"Empty jar?" Cen Ling'er looked confused. Where is the Gu insect in the jar? How could it be empty? Could it be that it ran away?
"Yes, the jar is empty. Miss, please drink the medicine first, slave.
The maid will go and report to the master and madam that you are awake." The maid brought the medicine over, and after Cen Ling'er drank it in one gulp, the maid went out.
Cen Ling'er was exhausted and lay down again.
She still didn't quite understand where those poisonous insects had gone, and where was the centipede? She was obviously poisoned, but why couldn't the doctor diagnose it? So, was there anything wrong with her body?
As soon as she thought of this, she felt itchy in her ears, as if something was drilling out.
She looked carefully and saw that it was the centipede crawling out of her ear.
She looked at the centipede, and the centipede was also looking at her, as if waiting for her instructions. Cen Ling'er raised the corners of her mouth, was she successful? So, after thinking about it, she suddenly looked at the centipede.
Said: "Where have those Gu insects gone?"
The centipede seemed to really understand Cen Ling'er's words, so it crawled to the ground, and then crawled in the direction of the jar. Cen Ling'er looked puzzled. The maid said that the jar was empty, so how could this centipede come near the jar?
?
Cen Ling'er had no choice but to get up and walk to the jar. After opening the jar, she found that the poisonous insects were well inside the jar. She was surprised to find that the color of the poisonous insects seemed to be very similar to centipedes. She smiled slightly and opened the jar.
She put it away and put it under her bed. Just when she wanted to study the book, she heard the sound outside the door. So she jumped back to the bed and covered herself with the quilt, and the centipede followed suit.
Her ears crawled into her body.
I remembered the sound of knocking on the door, and then someone said: "Ling'er, I heard that you are awake. Your aunt and I are coming to see you. Isn't it convenient?"
"Mom, aunt, come in." Cen Ling'er said weakly.
Because Cen Ling'er's voice was hoarse, she looked like she was seriously ill.
After Madam Shangshu and the Third Madam entered the house, they saw Cen Ling'er lying in bed.
Cen Ling'er's face is still pale, but the color of her lips is no longer purple. However, she gives people a pitiful look.
The third lady said distressedly: "Ling'er, do you still feel uncomfortable? How come you suddenly have a fever?"
Cen Ling'er said slowly: "Auntie, isn't Ling'er awake now? Maybe he caught a cold at night. The fever is gone now. He should be fine. Don't worry."
Mrs. Shangshu sighed, and then said: "Look, what did I say? I have told your father not to write any more Buddhist scriptures from today on. You should take good care of yourself these days, and I have also ordered
My servants will prepare some warm and tonic medicinal food for you. I see that you have lost weight since you came back, but that is not possible."
Cen Ling'er smiled slightly, and then said: "Thank you, mother, for your concern. Ling'er is really fine."
"Okay, just listen to your mother this time." The third lady said softly.
After Madam Shangshu and the Third Madam left, Cen Linger breathed a sigh of relief.
After Mrs. Shangshu and the third lady returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Shangshu saw that the third lady was frowning and said: "Third son, Ling'er is angry. Think about it, Ling'er originally lived in the palace, and suddenly
After being sent back, you think she must be in a bad mood. Although we saw that Ling'er kept a smile on her face before, she must be sad and remorseful in her heart. Moreover, Ling'er was very filial.
She couldn't bear to make us worry, so she didn't let us know anything about her. If you have time, go see Ling'er more often, but don't mention your past life."
Mrs. Shangshu thought of Cen Ling'er's stubbornness, and no matter how sad she was, she would not let them see her.
And she knew the third lady very well. She must have asked Ling'er to let go of the past every time she went to see her. You must know that if the past things are always mentioned in Ling'er's ears, she will definitely be affected.
The third lady nodded, and then said: "Perhaps, Ling'er's fainting with fever this time is really related to me. It's all my fault that I shouldn't always mention the previous things. Maybe, the more this happens, the more difficult it is for Ling'er to think about it."
"Well, it's good that you know. Don't bring it up in the future, which will burden Ling'er's heart. After Ling'er recovers, I will talk to the master and see if there is any suitable candidate for her. I
I think it would be better if she gets married and starts a new life." Mrs. Shangshu said for Cen Ling'er.
"Everything depends on my sister. Ling'er is my heartache. I just hope she can open her heart and stop torturing herself like this." The third lady had no idea, so she listened to Mrs. Shangshu's words.
After the two of them finished chatting, Mrs. Shangshu told Lord Shangshu about the incident. After hearing this, Lord Shangshu felt uncomfortable and just responded without saying anything else.
Because Lord Shangshu had long been affected by Cen Ling'er's words last time, and this time Cen Ling'er fainted, he took it for granted that it was Cen Ling'er who held his grievances in his heart that made him fall ill. Therefore, regarding Mrs. Shangshu's proposal
, he did not agree. If Ling'er is asked to choose a husband now, Ling'er will be even more aggrieved. The reason why Ling'er fell ill is because of the heart disease he suppressed. He knew how wronged Ling'er was, and it was obviously Concubine Yun's fault.
, but only punished Ling'er. Moreover, Ye Tianmo had already planned to send Ling'er back, so maybe this was just a way for Ye Tianmo to take advantage of his scheme. In doing so, he only suffered for their family's Ling'er.
.
And Ling'er has never worried him since he returned to the mansion. According to Madam Shangshu and the Third Madam, every time they see Cen Ling'er, she is very well-behaved and has a smile on her face. Now
Thinking about it, those smiles were probably all illusions. It was Cen Ling'er who didn't want elders like them to worry, so she let them see her smile. In fact, she felt very wronged in her heart. If she held it in for too long, people would be unbearable. Ling'er
My son suddenly fainted and developed a high fever. Even the doctor didn't know what caused her fever.
Lord Shangshu felt very sorry for Cen Ling'er and hated Ye Tianmo's actions more and more. What made him even more annoyed was Concubine Yun. That woman actually acted like nothing happened in the palace. It was really disgusting.
Lord Shangshu left the main courtyard and walked to Furong Garden without knowing it.
After thinking for a while, he entered the yard.
After the maid reported to Cen Ling'er, Lord Shangshu entered the house.
Cen Ling'er smiled slightly and then said, "Father, why are you here?"
"Is Ling'er feeling better?" Master Shangshu said gently.
Cen Ling'er said softly: "The fever has gone away, and Ling'er is fine. It was my mother and aunt who made such a fuss that made my father so worried."
Lord Shangshu hurriedly said: "How can this be making a fuss out of a molehill? Not only did you faint, but you also had a high fever. If no one found out, wouldn't it be that your brain would be burned out?"
Lord Shangshu felt heartbroken just thinking about it. He looked at Cen Ling'er with a little guilt on his face.
"Ling'er is fine now, but her voice is still a little hoarse." Cen Ling'er said softly.
