MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 9

Duan Wenyin scolded Duan Ningyuan fiercely in her heart. This matter is no trivial matter. It will damage the reputation of the town's government. The younger brother's actions are inappropriate. Turn around.

She pondered for a while and was about to speak, but Teng Yuyi suddenly bowed to Lin Chengyou in the outer room: "Dare to ask the prince, how long can a person who has been poisoned by the demon survive without taking the medicine?"

Lin Chengyou glanced at the five pairs of shoes that were exposed outside the curtain. The man was so calm that he had been in the house for so long, but so far he had not revealed any flaws. He lazily put down the tea cup, got up and walked inside: "Two at most. an hour."

Teng Yuyi nodded and walked towards Hu's bed, squeezing out a few fake tears as she walked: "It's been two hours at least since I started working on it. I think that Dong Erniang has passed away and I couldn't save her, and I feel bad."

She walked to the front of the curtain and made a gesture of salute, but she was dizzy and couldn't stand still. She accidentally put her arm on Dong Erniang's leg, causing Dong Erniang to freeze.

Teng Yuyi immediately looked panicked, horrified and then backed away: "Dong Erniang, Dong Erniang, she moved."

Everyone was shocked and rushed to Hu's bed.

The lady in charge was the first to open the curtain to take a breath, and the hot breath sprayed to her fingertips, she was still alive. She was ecstatic at first and then puzzled. It was two hours earlier, why Erniang didn't take the medicine and it was fine.

Mrs. Du stretched her neck and looked around, but she was also shocked. She had seen Duanfu and the others' faces after they were poisoned.

The others looked at each other in amazement. They had never learned what it was like to be poisoned by a demon, but how could this look like a dying person?

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi pretended to join in the fun, and the senior brothers had already signaled them to go behind the curtain to find out, but they were busy using Fu Tang to draw out the demon poison in Mrs. Anguo's body, and they didn't pay attention to the four injured people.

Mrs. Teng's move was unexpected, she caught them in their arms, she turned to look at the senior brother, the senior brother smiled wickedly, and simply folded his arms to watch the excitement.

Duan Ningyuan was overjoyed after being shocked, and he couldn't help himself for a while. He hurried to the bed, was stunned by Duan Wenyin, and stopped abruptly.

"What's going on?" Duan Wenyin reached behind the curtain herself and looked at Dong Erniang's face in astonishment, "Didn't the Shizi just say that if you really want to fall into the evil poison of that monster, it will last up to two hours."

After comparing the two, she gradually became suspicious. Could it be that she was not poisoned, but just fainted from fright? With such a big commotion, there should have been some movement in the theory.

There was silence in the room for a while, this situation was definitely not like poisoning, everyone's mind was floating, and even Duan Ningyuan had some doubts.

Teng Yuyi raised her eyebrows, Dong Erniang didn't move like a mountain, was it for Duan Ningyuan or the Liuyuan Dan who became the prince? She was under heavy pressure just now. She thought that Dong Erniang would cry out when she was in pain, but she had to hold back her life. She had known that she should stab her with a hairpin. Sleepy or pretending to be asleep.

She pretended to be alarmed: "Could it be that it was not a demon poison, but another sorcery?"

The people in the room were stunned for a moment, and the lady in charge recalled the situation just now, and suddenly realized that the various behaviors of Erniang after she passed out were not consistent with those of the Teng family. .

She felt a little uneasy in her heart, and hurriedly followed Teng Yuyi's words: "Yes, yes, after encountering that monster on the way to the riverbank, and then passed out, it may not have been poisoned by the monster, the monster is so deceitful, maybe it's goodbye. The way is unknown.”

Jue Sheng said coldly: "This mother-in-law, are you saying that my senior brother has seen his eyes? Although my senior brother is young, he has never seen his eyes in Taoism."

The lady in charge hurriedly shook her head: "I don't dare to underestimate the Taoist skills of the prince, but my second wife is late to wake up after being hit by a demon. There must be a reason. The prince's Taoism is very good. Please help me and take a closer look."

"I think it was overly frightened." Lin Chengyou stroked his chin, "It is possible for a weak person to encounter such an evil spirit, and his soul cannot return to its place for a long time."

Duan Ningyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Mostly so."

Taking advantage of the situation, the lady in charge knelt down and kowtowed: "My lady has always been weaker than others, and I don't know if the prince can take a countermeasure."

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, "Yes, of course there is."

He took two steps in front of Hu's bed unhurriedly, and suddenly he flicked his fingers, and a silver light passed in front of his robe and bounced straight into the thick curtain.

Dong Erniang's feet that were exposed outside the curtain twitched, and it didn't take long for the entire curtain to start shaking, the faster it trembled, the faster it trembled, and finally she bounced off the bed as if it was on fire, unable to stop scratching around: "Itching , It's itchy."

Unexpectedly, everyone was stunned.

Lin Chengyou's smile didn't change, but his eyes were cold: "You're really brave!"

Duan Ningyuan froze in place, his ears were full of lightning and thunder. He had marched through the army and the soldiers were injured and unconscious. He knew, if he really lost consciousness, he didn't even know whether it was hot or cold, how could he be easily woken up by itching.

The lady in charge panicked for a moment, and hurriedly covered Dong Erniang: "It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up."

Dong Erniang tried her best to hold back the itch on her body, leaned against the bed, and said softly, "...Nursing...I...Where am I?"

The lady in charge leaned over and took Dong Erniang into her arms, stroking her hair over and over again: "When we came, we ran into a monster on the way, and the lady was frightened and fainted on the spot. This is Ziyunlou, the lady just woke up, and she was fortunate to have become a king. The prince and the two little priests, the monsters have been subdued."

Duan Wenyin couldn't bear it any longer, and she shouted, "How long will your master and servant pretend to be?"

She pointed to Dong Erniang: "You didn't feel weak when you jumped out of bed, you've clearly been awake for a while, do you really think we don't have eyes!"

Dong Erniang's face was pale, Cheng Wang Shizi's move was unexpected, and she was pushed to the edge of the cliff. .

Resisting the itch on her body, she looked around ignorantly, and then touched her forehead with her hand, as if she had a splitting headache: "...I only remember that I encountered an evil thing on the way to the banquet, and I didn't know anything about what happened next, but I was able to move just now. , but my brain was dizzy for a while, and I suddenly felt extremely itchy, and I woke up all of a sudden."

Mrs. Du looked at Dong Erniang lightly: "Your maid is crying for the pills, you haven't heard a word?"

Dong Erniang shook her head in a daze, and suddenly felt two cold eyes falling on her head. Looking at her, she saw a girl in a green dress wearing a power fence looking at her. Although she didn't say a word, she was panicking for no reason.

It must be Teng Yuyi. Teng Yuyi was caught off guard and fell on her, causing her to cry out in pain. Fortunately, she held back, but she knew that it wasn't this move that caused the suspicion of Prince Cheng.

She covered her sleeves and coughed: "I just had a splitting headache, I don't know if it was awake or a dream, I wanted to open my eyes to take a look, but I hated that I had no strength all over my body, I knew someone was making noise, but the voice was too far away, I couldn't even hear a word. Not really, really don't know what happened, it wasn't intentional—"

"Really?"

"Indeed."

Lin Chengyou smiled brightly: "I have limited patience, you'd better think it through before answering."

Duan Ningyuan knew something was wrong, and despite being full of doubts, he still bit the bullet and said: "People who have just woken up from a coma are not normal, at least half an hour, as many as a few days, this kind of situation where they wake up but don't know it. , is actually not uncommon.”

Dong Erniang's eyes shifted slightly, and she moved away as soon as she touched Duan Ningyuan's brocade robe, she bit her lip: "I don't know what happened, I encountered that evil thing by the river before, I just thought I couldn't survive, okay? It's easy to wake up, and my mind is still in chaos, I don't understand what I did wrong, and I don't understand why I keep questioning me...

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Some of the ladies were soft-hearted and moved with sympathy. Dong Erniang was also considered a victim.

Dong Erniang sobbed in a low voice: "If I could wake up, I would have woken up long ago. I just hate that the monster didn't know what spell it gave me, and it has been in a drowsy sleep until now."

"You lied!" Jue Sheng shouted, "You are not in a coma at all."

Everyone was stunned, and Duan Wenyin was surprised: "Little Daoist, how do you say this?"

Qi Zhi snorted heavily and raised the altar wood in his hand: "This is the evidence! Tonight, my senior brother was in the Moon Lantern Pavilion, and he was temporarily called to catch the demon. Halfway through, he heard that a total of five injured people fell into a coma. After arriving at Lanxia Pavilion, I asked again, and it was confirmed that there were four women and one man. The situation was dangerous at that time. Brother was afraid that the monster would escape and he would not be able to inspect the injured in person, so he set up a 'Five Tibetan Array'.

"Who knows that the number of injured people is not correct. There are only four wandering spirits. It is said that five people were injured. In fact, one person is pretending. Wuzang Formation not only failed to suppress the monster, but also caused the senior brother to be injured by the monster. You can deceive others but not us, because the person who sets up the formation knows best that your soul has never left the body."

These words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which shook everyone's ears. Duan Ningyuan and Duan Wenyin's expressions suddenly became extremely ugly, and they looked at Dong Erniang in disbelief.

Dong Erniang looked at the Zhentanmu in Qizhi's hands in panic, and the steward stammered, "How could it be... Impossible, this, this... there is probably some misunderstanding."

Lin Chengyou looked at the palace servants left and right: "Are you stupid? I have endured this old thing for a long time!"

The palace people folded their sleeves and fists, and went straight to the steward lady. The steward lady was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Ignoring the howling of the lady in charge, the palace servant first tied her tightly, then found a pair of stinky foot socks and shoved it into her mouth.

Lin Chengyou sneered: "Misunderstanding? Can't you see how dangerous it is when catching monsters? The 'Five Tibetan Array' can use strength to fight, it is a very evil spell, the only bad thing is that if the number is wrong, you will lose the whole game. , I almost lost my life because I misbelieved that there were five injured people, and at this point, I dare to say that there is no misunderstanding!"

He looked at Dong Erniang coldly and said, "Might as well make it clearer. I was in a very early formation, but I still couldn't hold back the old demon. There is no other explanation except that you pretended to be in the first place. You are not in a coma. Why did you sneak into the Ziyun Tower in the name of seeking a doctor?!"

Dong Erniang bit her lip, and her body trembled slightly.
