Baili Lin looked at the Saint Gu who was very close to Lu Ningshuang, and smiled with satisfaction, but said lightly:

"It's just a relatively precious poisonous insect. I'm giving it to you to keep as a gift. From now on, snakes, insects, rats and ants will not come near it. It is more effective than any anthelmintic."

Lu Ningshuang poked and said hesitantly:

"Is this a great gift?"

Baili Lin spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and sighed continuously.

"Yes, I am just a hidden guard of the crown prince. I am so poor, what good things can I come up with? This little guy is very expensive in my hometown. I stole it!"

in fact--

Among a hundred insects, there is one poison; among ten thousand poisons, there is one king. This ice crystal cicada is the king among kings and can command all the insects in the world.

It is the most difficult holy Gu to cultivate, rarely seen in hundreds of years. In the Qiang Kingdom where witchcraft is prevalent, it can even affect...

When he parted with Ning'er at the princess's mansion a few months ago, he heard her sad words and suddenly had an idea. He somehow put a young golden silkworm poison on her.

So that even though I am far away in Qiang State, I can still know her safety.

Unexpectedly, when they met again, the young golden silkworm had transformed perfectly after drinking her blood and became a coveted treasure for the Qiang royal family!

"Ning'er, since the little guy likes you, just accept it. After the spring of next year, I guarantee that no mosquito will dare to bite you!"

He paused and added, "Don't release it in front of people. You know, many women are afraid of bugs. Don't cause a commotion and accidentally hurt yourself."

Lu Ningshuang looked at the bug on the back of her hand, and when she found that she had accepted it, it bit through her skin with a ferocious bite, and its crystal clear body gradually disappeared.

"It won't... get in, will it?"

"uh-huh!"

The man's face, looking like he was watching a show, looks like he deserves a beating.

Lu Ningshuang shook her wrists wildly, but her hands were numb and she didn't react at all. She looked at Baili Lin with resentment on her face, and the other party pointed at her shoulder with a smile.

At some point, the Holy Gu lay on its shoulder, its two tentacles trembling, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.

Lu Ningshuang: “…”

The night is getting darker.

Baili Lin changed the stained gauze by himself, and after a while, he continued to smile playfully.

He pointed to the humble house and said:

"I'll have to ask Ning'er to sleep on the same bed with me tonight. There's no floorboard on the ground, and I'm seriously injured now, so I can't sleep on the floor."

Blowing out the oil lamp, Baili Lin put her inside and lay down on the outside.

Soon, steady breathing was heard beside her. Lu Ningshuang opened her eyes and her consciousness became clearer and clearer.

A strange place, a stale smell, thick darkness, damp and cold air, a biting chill...

The needle-like pain all over her body, especially in her waist, made Lu Ningshuang feel as if she was being tortured in the eighteenth level of hell.

But the strong smell of blood on the man's body became a big fire under the frying pan, tormenting the restlessness deep in her heart.

Lu Ningshuang sat up from the bed and stared at the man lying next to her with his clothes on.

Her breathing became rapid and heavy, and the depths of her eyes, blocked by tears, were a deep blood red.

A moment later, there was an urgent knock on the door.

Ah Wu lowered his voice and said:

"The search team is here, we need to move immediately!"

Baili Lin, who had just been sleeping soundly, turned over and got out of bed, picked up Lu Ningshuang, broke open the door, and with a exertion of his internal strength, jumped out from the patio.

Unable to find his beloved daughter, Lu Jianzhang ran into the palace before the palace gate was locked, and made a scene with Emperor Mingde. Finally, he got the right to temporarily dispatch the Bingmasi and Li Younian's imperial guards.

The bright torches and lanterns, like clear streams, slowly submerged the nearby houses.

Lu Ningshuang watched from afar until her view was blocked.

*

The next day, at the court meeting where the envoys were present, memorials impeaching Lu Jianzhang for treason flew onto Emperor Mingde's desk like snowflakes.

Lu Jianzhang was feeling very annoyed, so he rolled up his sleeves and had a fierce and passionate confrontation with the court officials. If there were anyone who was trying to take advantage of the situation and was unreasonable, he would hit them with his punches as big as sandbags.

When Emperor Mingde asked him questions, he fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out, shouting:

"…Your Majesty, I know that I have been disrespectful in front of you, and my crime is unforgivable. I would like to thank Your Majesty for granting me the right to temporarily transfer the military department, and for your kindness over the years.

All the officials in the court are not fathers, and perhaps their wives and children at home are raised by others.

They are jealous of my love for my daughter, so they attack me with harsh words and frame me. They can always find excuses to accuse me of something.

Anyway, if my daughter can't be found, my wife can't live, and I can't live without my wife. It's a good opportunity for my family to reunite in the underworld and continue our family ties.

All of you are greedy, cruel, and will do anything to achieve your goals. I am ashamed to serve in the same court with them!"

The expressions of the ministers were very interesting. In Lu Jianzhang's mouth, they were not only scum with corrupt morals, but also cuckolds who supported the wife and daughter of the old man next door!

Who can bear it?

Who can bear it!

Just as the ministers put aside their moral etiquette and prepared to rant and beat up Lu Jianzhang, Emperor Mingde, who was sitting at the top, spoke indifferently:

"The Duke of Zhenguo was disrespectful of the emperor's authority and was punished with 20 strokes of the cane in court. The ministers made false accusations and slandered him maliciously, which led to discord between the emperor and his ministers and chaos in the court. They will all be fined for half a year.

The case of the murder of the Qiang envoys was ordered to be handled by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice within three days.

The Duke of Zhenguo continued to lead the troops and searched carefully for the whereabouts of the prince of Qiang, and also gave him three days to find him alive or dead.

Five days later, I will host a banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony to entertain envoys from various countries. The Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites will jointly host the banquet. Court is dismissed!"

"Your Majesty has ordered you to withdraw from the court——"

Following the eunuchs' shouts, Emperor Mingde left surrounded by palace servants, and all officials dispersed with held breath.

Lu Jianzhang walked backwards with a gloomy face, his sleeves rolled up high, revealing his muscular arms and fists as big as sandbags.

If anyone dared to turn around and spit, he would rush up and beat them.

When I returned home, there was still no trace of Lu Ningshuang.

Lu Jianzhang barely squeezed out some time to make decisions for the guards and maids who were accompanying him that day.

"The guard will be caned 60 times, imprisoned for 7 days, and given only water but no food! The maid will be caned 30 times, imprisoned for 3 days, and also given only water but no food! Drag her away!"

As for Ayong, whom Jiang Shuo sent, Lu Jianzhang couldn't interfere and just told him to get out of the way.

The two people in the east and west wing rooms also heard about Lu Ningshuang's disappearance.

Lu Yan was anxious. He broke the chain, wrapped a piece of cloth around his neck to cover the collar, and left the house with a stern face.

He was born a beggar, had been in the Lu Mansion for many years, and had some influence among all kinds of people.

For the sake of the second young lady, it is time to mobilize.

After Jing Shiyue finished examining Mrs. Lu, he hurried to Chenxiangyuan.

Although he has made great achievements in medicine, he does not have many connections in reality and can't help at all in finding the second young lady.

The only thing he could do was to fulfill her request.

I treated Fu Nanjia's leg, but only healed the wound without setting the bone.

Jing Shiyue pushed open the door to the east wing and roughly checked Fu Nanjia's injuries.

Suddenly, a hoarse and eerie voice sounded:

"Are you also Xiaoguai's slave?"
