Chapter 1282: War Drums Beat 93
mean by that Do you dislike this king"The Minister of War hurriedly explained, “I dare not. It’s just that Lian’er is still young. I would like to keep her by my side for two more years to teach and g..."So, he took them both, mother and daughter, as his own"
Dugu Cheng nodded, Luo Li's face was full of disbelief, "This is really unheard of, this works"
"This is the first time I've ever met someone who likes women so much."
"But she's not Lu Nian's real sister, is she"
Luo Li asked out her doubts, this Lu Nian's appearance was handsome, how could his brain not seem like someone with problems.
"It no longer matters whether she is his real sister or not. He now treats Xi'er as a sister, which is naturally an exaggerated gesture."
Lu Nian listened as Dugu Cheng and Luo Li said he wasn't Feng Lingxi's biological brother. His heart felt uneasy, but when he thought about Luo Li not being a good person either, what if this statement was harmful to Xi'er
It's probably better not to say anything. Besides, whether or not he is a biological brother isn't something that can be decided easily. Even close relatives aren't guaranteed to stay connected.
Feng Lingxi and Li Wuyan researched until dark, both of them were exhausted, but what made Feng Lingxi headache was that they couldn't get proof of the poison's formula, so they couldn't concoct an antidote.
"Ayan, this poison is called the Seven Day Frenzy. Lu Nian told me that there's no cure for it."
"How much does Lü Nian know"
After researching all afternoon, Li Wu Yan also had a headache. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. The two people outside were already placed on straw mats. Considering the time, after the acupuncture points were cleared, they were afraid that they would go crazy again.
He also heard about it, he didn't know much about it.
Feng Lingxi's mind had spun hundreds of times, but there was no clue about a solution to this kind of poison.
"That's it for today. It's getting dark soon. We can talk again tomorrow. I'm going back to think about this properly."
Feng Lingxi glanced at the darkening sky outside, "It's almost nightfall, are you still going back"
Li Wuyan nodded, "Go back and get the book. Be careful here."
Hearing Li Wuyan's concerned words, Feng Lingxi felt deeply touched.
"You too."
Two people came out. Lu Nian charged forward at first, but was stopped by Feng Lingxi. "Don't hug."
Lu Nian's nervous expression was angered by her words. She questioned him without good temper, "Isn't that because I'm worried about you What if something happens to you, what should I do"
"What could I possibly be doing I'm researching a cure."
Lu Nian glared displeasuredly at Li Wu-yan, "Then what have you gained"
"No, I don't know what the formula for this seven-day madness is. It's not that simple to detoxify it. Didn't you also say it was an incurable poison"
Lu Nian let out a cold snort, "Knowing there's no solution, you still want to go through the trouble."
Although her tone was full of reproach, Lu Nian's expression was still tense and flustered. Seeing that she had no injuries, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go back first and come again tomorrow."
Li Wuyan glanced at the two people on the ground. "Untie them, bring some food here, close the yard, and guard them. Don't let them go out."
"This king knows, you all be careful on your way back."
"When ghosts see us, we all have to walk around. What's there to be afraid of"
Luo Li rolled her eyes and walked out with Li Wu Yan. The villagers looked at the two of them with cold expressions and wanted to invite them to eat, but seeing their food, they didn't dare speak up.
"Ayan, eat first before leaving"
Feng Lingxi called out to him, “You guys still need to eat when you go back. The villagers have worked so hard to prepare this.”
Li Wuyan looked at the villagers timidly staring at him, nodded, and said to Luo Li, "Eat first then leave."
"Xi'er, does he also like you"
Lu Nian watched as Li Wuyan listened to Feng Lingxi's words, agreeing to stay when she asked him to, his eyes full of vigilance.
“Who”
Feng Lingxi didn't react, washing her hands with a tired face. She couldn't be bothered with Lu Nian's emotions.
"It's just Li Wu Yan who is with you."
"Li Wuyan"
Feng Lingxi stopped her steps, looked at Lu Nian, full of guard, and asked with a frown, "Which eye did you see him liking me"
"It's fine, you're married now. You can't like him, he's nowhere near as good as your husband."
Feng Lingxi's lips twitched slightly. She hadn't even acknowledged him yet, but she was already taking his side so fiercely. Could Dugu Cheng be secretly doing favors for Lu Nian behind her back Going out of his way to speak well of him like this
I'm hungry.
Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian tightly, "Lu Gongzi, if you're bored, eat more. I have something to ask you tonight."
"Sounds good."
Lu Nian, hearing that Feng Ling Xi had something to say to him, had long since put aside thoughts of Li Wu Yan. He just wanted to chat with his own younger sister, about anything at all.
Feng Ling, after taking her seat, was immediately served with dishes by the villagers. They were so polite and attentive that she felt uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, this place is humble. These are all vegetables we've grown ourselves. Please make do."
"Sān cái chuckled, pointing at the chicken on the table. 'This is a chicken raised by the villagers ourselves. It's quite lively,' "
Feng Lingxi glanced at the villagers surrounding them, got up and looked at them, "The antidote is temporarily unavailable, but I will do my best."
The villagers nodded silently.
"Xier, these villagers rarely see outsiders, so they might be a bit awkward. This king heard from Xiao Li that they're putting their all into preparing our meals and have high expectations for you."
Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Lingxi feel even more guilty. She hadn't developed anything yet, how could she live up to the villagers' trust
"This poison isn't so easily cured, I hope Ah Yan can find a way to antidote it when he goes back."
Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan, who had been eating silently on the side. Hearing her words, his movements paused slightly before resuming as if nothing had happened, continuing to eat as if what she said had nothing to do with him.
After the meal, the soldiers set up camp at the village entrance. They erected tents for Feng Lingxi and Dugu City to rest comfortably and avoid disturbing the villagers.
Luo Li and Li Wu Yan left the village. On their way back, Li Wu Yan remained silent, while Luo Li repeatedly hesitated to speak.
"Ayan, is there any way to detoxify"
"I've heard of the Seven Day Madness,"
Li Wuyan's words caused Luo Li to stop in her tracks, watching Li Wuyan's retreating figure. "Then why didn't you tell Feng Lingxi"
"Let me ask you, is this antidote going to work or not"
"Can you do it"
Li Wuyan responded, and Luo Li hurried to keep up with his footsteps. "How did you know the cure for the Seven Day Madness You and Feng Lingxi spent an afternoon researching in the room, why didn't you tell her"
"Feng Lingxi is indeed very special. Her understanding of poison is far more astonishing than I imagined. She possesses many things I've never seen before, like her suturing skills and the way she uses her blade to heal people. It leaves me in awe."
Li Wu Yan said this, his handsome brows furrowed, "You know I've always been confident in my medical skills, but she is not inferior to me."
"You mean, Feng Ling Xi's medical skills are above yours" Before this, Li Wu Yan had hidden his medical skills. Besides his mother's illness, he could cure any ordinary ailment.
They were evenly matched, and her knowledge of poisons was no less than mine.
