The heroine takes revenge on me, I am a sickly girl, I conquer the country and enjoy happiness

Alai walked briskly down around the terraced fields. An old man who was turning the soil with an iron rake nearby stood up, took off his straw hat and fanned himself.

"Alai, what are you doing in such a hurry? It's hard to walk on the ridge of the field. Be careful not to let your young mistress fall."

"Third Grandpa, my young mistress is not feeling well. I am sending her back."

"Oh, there's really no time to delay, go now!"

The old man fanned his straw hat at Alai, signaling her to go home quickly. After watching the two of them go away, he continued to bend over and work.

He searched the oily black soil under his feet for a while, and used a rake to hook out a black and red centipede the size of a thumb. He pinched it between his thumb and index finger, and skillfully threw it into the bamboo tube covered by his outer coat at his waist.

"It's in pretty good condition!" he exclaimed.

In the small courtyard on the mountainside, Baili Ming's research has been fruitful, so he did not stay until dinner time as usual.

He was wearing a snow-blue cross-collared robe and standing under the crabapple tree at the gate of the courtyard, with a pomegranate-red ribbon with gold thread tied loosely around his waist.

Although her outfit was elegant yet revealing a touch of glamour, it was overshadowed by that angular and cold face.

In order to facilitate his research, he tied his reddish-brown curls on top of his head with an old silver hair crown.

The bright sunshine sprinkled on the man's body. He raised his chin slightly. The gorgeous crabapple flowers wrapped him. The tiger that sniffed the roses took on a human form because of him.

Seeing Alai running from afar, Baili Ming's thick black sword-like brows were furrowed. In a few days, he could try to cut open the heart and take out the Gu. There wouldn't be any accidents, right?

"what happened?"

Baili Ming came in front of Alai in an instant, pursed his lips, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied.

Alai admitted his mistakes again and again, "It was my fault that I didn't take good care of the young lady."

Baili Ming stared at Alai deeply, reached out to grab Lu Ningshuang, jumped up on the spot, stepped on the branches, and walked back to the yard in a straight line.

Older men tend to have a bad temper. Baili Ming had put on his summer clothes early on, two thin layers, with his collar still loose. Lu Ningshuang didn't have to do anything deliberately, her hand easily rested on his chest.

The muscles are big and hard, like city walls.

If she had a one-night stand, she would be crushed to death, right?

"Yan'er, do you want to die?"

The man's mellow and magnetic voice came from the sky, with a faint sound of gnashing teeth. Lu Ningshuang's mind was a little confused, and she pinched it a few more times before giving up.

"My husband doesn't even wear his clothes properly. Isn't he trying to seduce me on purpose?"

Listening to Lu Ningshuang's teasing words, Baili Ming felt suffocated. What I wear is my freedom, and you, as a girl, have the right to touch me?

When Lu Ningshuang was placed on the bed, she was already motionless. Her whole body was burning like charcoal, but not a drop of sweat came out.

After Baili Ming felt the pulse, his heart skipped a beat. When Alai came in at this moment, he turned around and shouted:

"Call Ji Chengfeng to me quickly!"

Ji Chengfeng was the one who treated Baili Ming's injuries that day. He was the chief witch doctor under Baili Ming and served in the Qiang Kingdom's Imperial Medical Office and the Priest Temple.

Baili Ming sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the motionless Lu Ningshuang. His face became very gloomy, and a chilling aura emanated from his body.

Last winter, the Liang people disguised as pursuers were chasing after them. In order to save Madam Lu's life, Lu Ningshuang jumped off the carriage. As soon as Baili Ming caught her, he fed her a potion that put the Holy Gu to sleep.

At that time, in Baili Ming's mind, she was just a ready-made item and a temporary container for his holy Gu.

What he didn't expect was that later, when he cooperated with Zhao Feibai's people to act out a play to use her to force Lu Yingxue, Lu Ningshuang would suddenly attack the numb tendons in his elbow and fall off the cliff when he was not prepared.

Baili Mingdu believed that she would not survive, and it was his unwillingness to give up the Holy Gu that made him continue to look for her.

When he found her, she was hanging on a tree branch one foot above the ground, covered in wounds, with her pulse barely visible.

It is not easy to heal such an injury. Anyway, her only use is to maintain the vitality of the Holy Gu. Baili Ming simply let Ji Chengfeng give her a simple treatment and then find a way to keep her alive.

Alai and Ji Chengfeng arrived within a quarter of an hour. Baili Ming stood up and made way for the witch doctor. The girl, who was confused by the fever, suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed two fingers of his right hand.

The moving lips seemed to say:

"Don't go..."

Do you still believe my lies?

Baili Ming moved a little to the side, sat on the edge of the bed and silently held the hot little hand behind his back.

After Ji Chengfeng's diagnosis and treatment, he gave Baili Ming a solemn suggestion:

"Your Highness, please act now. There is no point in delaying."

Baili Ming couldn't help but clench his small hands tightly, and said solemnly:

"I'm not ready for another few days. You can use some more medicine to keep her alive."

"Okay, I'll give you four days' worth of medicine. I hope Your Highness can prepare well during this time."

After Ji Chengfeng went out to prepare the life-extending medicine, Alai asked softly:

"Your Highness, you are not serious, are you? There is only one Holy Gu in hundreds of years. It is extremely precious. Don't miss this opportunity."

"I know."

On the fourth day, the items and instruments needed for the ceremony were ready. Baili Ming held a willow-leaf knife that could cut hair, and stood on a strange pattern drawn with blood and the slime of poisonous insects, but he was hesitant to take action.

Lu Ningshuang was lying on the long table in the center of the array, wearing only a white dress with all the buttons on the front undone, revealing her snow-white skin.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Alai, who was helping beside him, reminded him.

"fine."

Baili Ming lowered his head and used the tip of the knife to push aside the girl's clothes, revealing the light pink scar that had grown on her chest.

He paused for a long time, then suddenly dropped the knife, pulled his coat over her to cover her, and turned to Ji Chengfeng and said:

"The Holy Gu is too precious after all. It has already merged with her, so we must be absolutely sure. Give her a few more days."

Ji Chengfeng was puzzled:

"Your Highness, no matter how long it takes, you have to do it. You can't find any reference cases for this kind of thing."

Baili Ming chuckled:

"I said, continue!"

Alai frowned and followed Baili Ming to the yard.

"Your Highness, what are you hesitating about?"

Baili Ming glanced over sharply, "I told you that you need to be absolutely sure!"

Another four days passed, and Baili Mingdao didn't even take it. After a while of silence in the diagram, he put Lu Ningshuang back on the bed.

"Continue!"

On the twelfth day, he didn't even hesitate and just carried Lu Ningshuang back to the bed.

"Treat her!"

Ji Chengfeng didn't understand but did as he was told.

Alai advised anxiously:

"Your Highness, are you going to give up?"

Baili Ming said:

"I have my own plan. I want her to give me the Holy Gu willingly. This is the only way to be foolproof!"

Spring thunder rumbled and heavy rain fell in the middle of the night.

Baili Ming stayed by the bed and asked:

"Why isn't she awake yet?"

As her illness progressed day by day, Lu Ningshuang once again entered the depths of her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Why are you still haunted?"

The figure that was imprisoned by her on the sea, a wisp of spiritual power, smiled bitterly:

"Ms. Lu, you are the one who locked me up here."
