Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

In fact, there was no poison at all. It was just a kind of medicine that Shen Jing gave her that would cause unbearable itching when it touched the wound. This medicine was used to punish Nanny Liu at that time. It was not fatal.

But now, she wants to take a gamble.

Feng Jia asked, "Does your cheek feel extremely itchy right now? Like countless little bugs are licking you?"

"Do you really want to scratch it? Or even cut off that piece of meat?"

"You have been poisoned by my Gu. You won't survive for half an hour."

"It's just itchy now. Once the poisonous insects have sucked your flesh and blood, they will multiply rapidly. By then, countless poisonous insects will crawl out of your skin, and you will be worse off than dead!"

Li Yunyu's grip tightened, and Feng Jia's feet began to leave the ground. She felt that she could hardly breathe. Even in this situation, her eyes showed contempt for the inferior: "Think clearly, if I die, you can't live either."

"Why don't you beg me... let me give you the antidote." Her voice gradually became distorted due to suffocation.

"You just wanted me to save you, and this is how you treat your savior?" Li Yunyu frowned.

"I said... I was just protecting myself."

Feng Jia's voice was intermittent: "I was abandoned and beaten as a child. I escaped death countless times. I only have myself and I only believe in myself... I don't know if you will save me... I just promise that you will save me..."

"I don't want to die..."

Just when Feng Jia thought she was going to be strangled to death by her, Li Yunyu let go.

"Antidote!"

"Take me away, and I will give it to you." Feng Jia fell to the ground, covering his neck and breathing heavily.

Li Yunyu stared at her with a pair of cold eyes, as if thinking.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yunyu finally compromised, put his arms around her waist and pulled her gently, and in an instant they flew to the treetops.

There was a whistling sound in their ears, and soon the two men stopped in front of a dilapidated temple. The temple was leaking wind everywhere, and the Buddha statues were covered with dense spider webs.

Li Yunyu placed Feng Jia on a worn-out cushion and said in a cold voice, "Antidote."

Feng Jia glanced at him.

"My patience is limited, Xie Lanzhao, don't push me."

Feng Jia sighed slightly. At this moment, she was like a fish on the chopping board and had no right to negotiate terms.

She took out a small porcelain bottle from her clothes with difficulty and handed it over. The movement affected her wound and blood soaked her clothes red.

Li Yunyu didn't answer.

"Don't worry, if you die, I won't be able to live either."

Li Yunyu thought for a moment, then took it, opened the porcelain bottle, sniffed it, and then poured it on the wound. The tingling sensation immediately stopped.

Feng Jia was soaked all over, her long hair had long been loose and water was still dripping from the ends of her hair, there was a feather arrow stuck in her chest and dried blood on her face, she looked both destitute and terrifying.

"Are you telling the truth?" Li Yunyu frowned.

"what?"

"There are rumors in the capital that the ninth daughter of the Xie family is afraid of water, but you resolutely jumped from the cliff into the deep pool. Not only did you not drown, you also escaped from those assassins... You can obviously swim, and you are an excellent swimmer."

"Heh." Feng Jia pulled the corners of her dry mouth, "So you were there when I jumped off the cliff."

Feng Jia couldn't suppress the itch in her throat and coughed twice. "Including this time, you and I have met each other three times. You actually watched me jump off the cliff without saving me. It really makes me sad..."

Her voice was drawn out, and she still had the heart to make fun even though she was so hurt.

Blood dripped onto the ground along the arrow head. Feng Jia rubbed against the wall, using it for support. She barely raised her hand and grasped the long arrow in front of her chest: "Please help me pull the arrow out. I have no strength left."

Before she could finish her words, her arms fell down, leaving only a pair of clear black and white almond-shaped eyes staring at Li Yunyu, as if if he didn't help her, he would be watching her die and would be struck by lightning.

"Why should I help you?" Li Yunyu almost laughed out of anger.

"Because, ahem..."

Feng Jia felt that every time she spoke one more word, a bit of her life slipped away. She reluctantly said, "Because we are from the same side. The Xie Mansion is your enemy, but also mine."

"Who said I hate the Xie family?"

Feng Jia smiled and said, "Xie Hui is also a member of the Xie family."

Li Yunyu's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent.

Sure enough, she guessed it right.

What did he want to steal that day when he went to Xie Hui's yard? Who is he, with such high martial arts skills? Who is his assassin? What is his relationship with Xie Hui?

Feng Jia didn't know, she said: "Save me, I can help you get what you want."

Li Yunyu laughed softly, his voice was very deep, like the sound of spring water hitting bluestone.

"Why do you hate the Xie family? Just because Xie Qian abandoned you when you were young?"

Naturally not.

The Xie family hated her for destroying the entire family and killing their son!

But even if she said this, the other party would not believe it. Who would believe that there was another person living in her body? A dead person?

Feng Jia said coldly: "Isn't this enough hatred?"

After a long silence, Li Yunyu leaned down. He had no intention of knowing the source of her hatred.

With a wave of the sword in his hand, the arrow on Feng Jia's chest did not shake at all, but the arrowhead had been cut off. Li Yunyu did not hesitate at all, grasped the arrow feather in his hand, and pulled it out hard.

A few drops of warm blood splashed on his eyelashes, and the rest splashed on Li Yunyu's long, beautiful fingers with distinct joints. His originally clean hands were immediately stained with blood.

"If it's off by an inch, even gods can't save it." Li Yunyu threw the broken feather arrow on the ground.

Feng Jia didn't make any sound. She clenched her teeth tightly to stop herself from crying out in pain. Although she was very cold, her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. Li Yunyu frowned, took out a black porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and applied medicine to her. The moment the hemostatic medicine was applied, Feng Jia felt as if someone was scraping a piece of her flesh off alive, and she couldn't help but let out a groan from between her teeth.

It hurts so much.

It hurts a hundred times more than pulling out an arrow!

Cold sweat dripped down Feng Jia's chin and onto the back of Li Yunyu's hand. He glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, but kept working.

A gust of wind passed through the leaky walls and diluted the bloody smell in the room a little.

What surprised Li Yunyu was that, apart from the moan just now, Xie Lanzhao did not make any other sound, but her shoulders trembled slightly as he applied the medicine, proving that she was still alive.

He had seen her viciousness, but at this moment he experienced the woman's fortitude and indomitable spirit.

"Thank you."

"No need." Li Yunyu plugged the medicine bottle and put it back into his sleeve, his voice cold.

Feng Jia looked at him and saw that he didn't take the next step. She asked in confusion, "Don't you want to...bandage it?"

She felt like blood was gushing out of her wound if she moved.

"..."

"Why are not you talking?"

"..."

Feng Jia was even more confused. She looked to the side in the moonlight and actually saw the tip of his ear turning red. She was speechless for a moment and said, "What are you thinking about?"

"..."

Feng Jia found it unbelievable: "I'm almost dying."

After a while, Li Yunyu moved his feet and squatted down, pulling out a piece from his sleeve and using it to bandage Feng Jia.

His movements were swift and extremely skillful, but every time they reached her chest, Feng Jia could clearly feel the stiffness in his body and his fingertips deliberately avoiding her.

"what's your name."

Li Yunyu's fingers paused for a moment, then continued bandaging, saying in a cold voice: "Xie Lanzhao, I think we are not at the point of exchanging names yet."

"You saved me, and I promised to help you find things. We are allies now. It's not too much to know your name, right?" Feng Jia said distractedly while gritting his teeth and enduring the pain.

"I don't need you to help me find things."

There was a big hole in the temple roof. The bright stars in the night sky fell down and shone into his eyes, adding a hint of coldness. "However, I want you to monitor Xie Hui and report his movements. As a reward, when you find the person who wants to kill you today, I can help you kill him."

Feng Jia nodded: "What's your name?"

"..."

She insisted: "Name?"

He compromised: "Yunyu."
