Chapter 159 The sky is falling in Prince Rong’s mansion!!
Yu Yuexi was pinned down on the bed by several maids, still wailing.
When she was struggling just now, a round-faced maid named Zhu'er rubbed off a layer of skin on the back of her hand.
The screams resounded throughout Luoxia Garden again.
Su Liuxi really couldn't stand Su Liuxi's magic sound attack, so she asked Doctor Liu to go outside and talk.
outside the house.
Doctor Liu's frown never relaxed.
Su Liuxi rarely showed anger on her face. "What kind of poison is it? How could it be so cruel and inhumane?"
Doctor Liu's lips moved slightly, as if he was considering his words, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"Doctor Liu, why don't you tell the truth?"
Su Liuxi raised her hand and made a "please" gesture to Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu seemed to have made up his mind. He bowed to Su Liuxi and said, "Please allow me to ask you a question. I wonder if you have ever come into contact with any remains of corpses before?"
Su Liuxi's heart skipped a beat.
"Why do you say that, Doctor Liu?"
“To be honest, Princess, the young lady was infected with a strange corpse poison.
I have only seen this kind of poison in an ancient book, and it was lost hundreds of years ago.
The poisoned person must have come into contact with some corpse remains or been exposed to blood for many years before being poisoned, which is why the poison took effect so quickly..."
Isn’t it swift?
"At first, the victim's nails started falling out, then their hair and scalp started falling out, and then their body started falling out too...
The nasty thing about this poison is that while victims may appear insane, they are actually quite normal. They will watch helplessly as their flesh and blood fall away until only their skeletons remain. They helplessly try to seek help, but those closest to them mistake them for madness...
Finally, they die in despair or commit suicide..."
Just listening to Doctor Liu's description, Su Liuxi felt suffocated.
"Who on earth is so vicious? They even don't let the children go."
Doctor Liu whispered respectfully, "The rare poisons that appear in ancient books and have been lost generally have reasons for being lost. They may be too vicious, or they violate human ethics and are therefore banned by the martial arts world..."
Hearing what Dr. Liu said, Su Liuxi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. "What about my child? Am I just going to have to watch her die..."
The word "death" was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it no matter how hard she tried.
She was agitated. Doctor Liu saw something was wrong and quickly knelt down, his tone filled with helplessness. "Please forgive my lack of knowledge. This kind of poison requires extremely strict conditions to be refined. If the antidote is used incorrectly, the patient will die at any time. Usually, only the poisoner has the antidote. Otherwise..."
Shen Muxi couldn't hear what Doctor Liu said next.
At this moment, her mind was buzzing, and the words "despair and tragic death" from Doctor Liu were echoing in her mind.
She tried hard to suppress the sadness in her heart and to calm her tone. "I understand. Thank you, Doctor Liu."
As she spoke, Su Liuxi called Cui'e over and said, "Send Doctor Liu off properly."
Her eyes were cold, and Cui'e immediately understood what she was thinking.
It should be later, and he politely took Doctor Liu away.
The room was filled with the stench of blood and rotting flesh.
Yu Yuexi was still screaming.
The maids didn't dare to use too much force on her, for fear that they would accidentally tear off some piece of her flesh.
The price of not daring to use too much force was that Yu Yuexi quickly broke free from the servant's grip and raised her hand to tear off a large piece of her hair with flesh attached.
Bloody...
Su Liuxi felt a pang of pain in her heart, and her tone became sinister and harsh. "Are you all stupid? Can't you see the pain the young lady is suffering now?"
"If you let the young lady harm herself again, I will bury you with her!!"
Maybe it’s because we are connected by blood.
The more painful Yu Yuexi was, the more Su Liuxi began to feel the pain herself.
At this moment, Mrs. Su from Ronghuitang rushed into Luoxiayuan covered in blood, trembling like a sieve, and knelt in front of Su Liuxi.
"Princess, something happened to our ancestor."
...
After half a stick of incense.
Su Liuxi hurried and arrived at Ronghui Hall.
A strong smell of blood could be smelled from afar.
Her brows were furrowed.
His steps also became much faster.
Kang's wails echoed from time to time in the air above Ronghui Hall. By the time Su Liuxi arrived, her wails had gradually weakened, with more inhalation than exhalation.
The ground was in a mess, covered in blood, and a broken leg, rotten to the point of leaving only white bones, lay alone beside it.
"What exactly is going on?"
The maids and old women serving around knelt on the ground when they saw Su Liuxi coming.
Qin Shou quickly invited several other doctors.
Su Liuxi didn't bother to ask for punishment and immediately ordered the doctor to examine Kang.
Seeing the mess on the ground, the faces of several doctors changed drastically at the same time.
Even the medicine boy following behind the doctor didn't care that his face had turned blue due to the smell in the room.
They tacitly took out a cloth from the medicine box to cover their mouths and noses.
One of the old doctors with gray hair and beard stepped forward first to feel Kang's pulse and rolled his eyes.
After a while, he shook his head at the other doctors.
"How is it?"
Su Liuxi covered her nose with a silk handkerchief, trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit, feeling heavy in her heart.
Kang deserves to die, but she can't die at this time.
The old doctor walked up to Su Liuxi and apologized, "Please forgive me for being unable to help you. The old princess has already..."
Almost at the same time, a "crackling" sound was heard from the broken leg that had not yet been cleaned.
The sound was like a bug biting on a wooden board, extremely crisp.
The sound of each bite penetrated everyone's eardrums, as if biting everyone's heart, making people extremely uncomfortable.
The old doctor's face had long since changed from pale at first to a bluish-gray color.
He was shaking from his beard to his whole body. "Quick...quickly leave here and set fire..."
Before the old doctor finished speaking, the "click" sound stopped, and a black insect with a colorful back suddenly jumped onto the old doctor's neck. The old doctor's head and body were immediately separated, and even the look of fear in his cloudy old eyes was only half retained.
Su Liuxi woke up as if from a dream, and no longer cared about her image, she ran out first.
"Quick, get out of here."
"Master."
The incident happened suddenly. The old doctor's little medicine boy only had time to cry before he was dragged out by another slightly younger old doctor.
"This man-eating bug is here, and you're still screaming. Are you trying to kill yourself?"
In a panic, someone knocked over the candlestick and it fell on Kang's body.
The body, which hadn't yet fully stiffened, immediately caught fire. In an instant, tongues of flame spread across the entire room...
Inside Ronghui Hall, screams and cries for help continued.
The sky is falling in Prince Rong's mansion!!
...
On a winding road.
A low-key carriage galloped by, raising clouds of dust.
Inside the carriage, Shen Muxi, Gu Xiaoxiao, Hongdou, and He Yue sat down in order.
Gu Xiaoxiao nestled in Shen Muxi's arms, looking up at Shen Muxi with a cute and innocent look on her face, with undisguised admiration in her eyes.
"Mom, can Xiaoxiao stay with you forever from now on?"
Shen Muxi reached out and touched Gu Xiaoxiao's small nose lovingly.
"Yes, mother and Xiaoxiao will never be separated from each other in the future."
Gu Xiaoxiao was even more delighted when she heard this, "Okay, okay, Xiaoxiao is really the happiest girl in the world."
"Silly girl."
Shen Muxi had returned to her original appearance as early as the first day she left the capital.
Although Gu Xiaoxiao found it hard to accept at first, after a closer look, she found that her mother's appearance didn't seem to have changed much except that she was younger and more beautiful than before.
Less than half an hour later, he happily hugged her arms and said, "Mommy in front, Mommy behind."
The journey was smooth and worry-free.
It was almost midsummer when Shen Muxi and her daughter returned to Nanyuan.
At this time, the situation in Nanyuan had undergone tremendous changes.
First, there was a falling out between the Taifu Mansion and the Shen Mansion, and then the Marquis of Anping was stripped of his title for committing a crime, and the Marquis of Anping's son Du Heng directly became Master Du.
Even if I want to see Shen Muxi in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to submit a visiting card layer by layer.
Outside the city gate.
A tall figure stood at the front.
Without waiting for Shen Muxi to speak, Gu Xiaoxiao jumped off the carriage and ran towards the man.
"Uncle Jing."
Murong Jingyan half squatted down and accepted Gu Xiaoxiao's hug.
He took Gu Xiaoxiao's hand very naturally.
Shen Muxi looked around warily, "Aren't you afraid of being seen now?"
"My wife and daughter were kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives. I finally found them, so naturally I had to come back to greet them personally. What's the problem?"
Shen Muxi looked at Murong Jingyan curiously, feeling that this man had changed, yet seemed to have not changed.
Soon, they returned to the Xiaodong Palace.
"I have to go back to the Shen Mansion first..."
"Now it has turned back into the County Lord's Mansion."
He Hong reminded from the side.
Shen Muxi was shocked.
She had only been away for two or three months, yet...
As if he had noticed Shen Muxi's discomfort, Murong Jingyan said casually, "What belongs to you, I will help you get it back, but it won't be in vain. You must cooperate with me in the things I ask you to do later."
Shen Muxi didn't say anything.
As early as when he came back, Murong Jingyan gave a general account of the current situation in Yecheng.
Although he has regained some of his power now, it is still not enough.
What he needed was to take control of the entire court.
"So how many of your people currently occupy the court?"
"One quarter."
"So, this hunt means a lot to me."
If he succeeds, his position will basically be unshakable.
If it doesn't work...
A hint of cruel coldness flashed in Murong Jingyan's eyes.
"It doesn't matter. You helped me, so I have to help you."
The most important thing is that she didn't see with her own eyes what happened to those people at Prince Rong's Mansion, so she was unsure.
...
We had a small gathering at Xiaodong Palace until midnight.
Shen Muxi wanted to take Gu Xiaoxiao away.
"Although the County Lord's Mansion is safer now than before, we must still be on guard against others."
Murong Jingyan reminded.
"I think it would be more appropriate for Xiaoxiao to live in the Small East Palace these days." Shen Muxi disagreed a little.
"Our marriage is already on the agenda, and you can't imagine how many eyes are watching us."
After Murong Jingyan's reminder, Shen Muxi also reacted.
If it is really as Murong Jingyan said, then taking Gu Xiaoxiao back to the Su Mansion is indeed not a good choice.
"Okay, Xiaoxiao will be in your care these days."
After all, the two of them are in a cooperative relationship. As long as Murong Jingyan is not stupid, he will not do anything bad to Xiaoxiao for the time being.
"Mother..." Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Muxi reluctantly.
The little girl's nose was so red that it made her heart melt.
"Xiaoxiao, be good. Mommy will be back soon."
For safety reasons, Shen Muxi also left Luoluo with Gu Xiaoxiao.
In front of He Yue, Luoluo is just a maid who is nimble and good at dealing with people.
No one knew that, in addition to those, Luoluo was also very good at lightness skills. If anything happened, she could at least use her lightness skills to escape with Xiaoxiao.
Shen Muxi got off the carriage of the Little East Palace.
The large gold-painted characters "County Princess's Mansion" on the plaque made her feel as if she were in another world.
She didn't know if it was the feeling of her body or the memory in her mind, or perhaps she was still influenced by Shen Xi.
Her eyes were slightly hot.
Shen Xi, did you see it?
The Shen Mansion has now become the County Lord's Mansion again.
It seemed like a response to her.
A warm breeze blew gently, lifting the loose hair on her temples, as if someone was caressing her face.
We are going home.
She muttered to herself.
However, she had just stepped into the door.
No matter how hard she knocked, the door refused to open.
He Yue was arranged by Murong Jingyan to be beside Shen Muxi.
"Girl, stand back. I'll do it."
Shen Muxi nodded and took a few steps back.
He Yue was very skilled in martial arts and kicked open the door of the county lady's mansion in one go.
Several servants were eating melon seeds.
When the door was kicked open, they hadn't even put down the melon seeds in their hands.
One of the servants recognized Shen Muxi at a glance.
"Miss? It's Miss who's back."
A gentle call was like a huge rock thrown into the lake, causing ripples.
The other members of the Shen family hurried out.
Even Old Madam Shen was pushed out in a wheelchair.
"I've met the eldest lady."
When Shen Chuanhai saw Shen Muxi, he wanted to go up and attack her immediately, but was restrained by the two servants beside him.
The gatekeeper apologized to Shen Muxi, "Please forgive me, Miss. Since the Shen Mansion became the County Lord's Mansion, old acquaintances of Mr. Shen have come every day to save Mr. Shen's family from danger. We are helpless."
The servant had a good attitude and spoke sincerely. Shen Muxi smiled instead, "You are guarding the door for me. What's wrong with that? Not only is it not wrong, there is also a reward."
Turning around, she instructed He Yue, "Give rewards to everyone else in the mansion. If they have done a good job in taking care of the family, give them more."
"Yes."
The county lady's mansion was filled with joy.
Amidst this enthusiasm, Shen Muxi quickly returned to her own yard.
Hongdou asked tentatively, "Miss, do you need a servant..."
As she spoke, she made a gesture of cutting her neck with her hands.
"No need to bother." Shen Muxi shook his head.
Murong Jingyan has already asked Shen Chuanhai to reflect on his mistakes at home. Now he just has to wait until the hunting is over. When Shen Chuanhai's family is no longer useful, there will naturally be many people who want to kill him.
"Yes."
