Chapter 13
Gu Poison Acts Up
Both mother and daughter looked delighted. “What are you waiting for? Bring me the extremely cold ice.”
Extremely cold ice was absolute zero. Under those conditions, even the air would freeze. “I don’t believe it won’t come out,” Wen Qiong thought.
The extremely cold ice was quickly carried up in a huge nest. Even though there were many heating measures outside, the slaves’ hands were still frostbitten when they carried it. As soon as it was carried in, the entire room was immediately filled with coldness.
“I’m freezing!” Wen Qiong complained, tossing the beast egg in without looking.
The queen and Spirit Warrior Qiu leaned over and peered inside. Sure enough, the beast-egg was shivering with cold.
Spirit Warrior Qiu bowed and said with a smile, “I’ll wait for your good news. In that case, I’ll take my leave.”
The queen nodded. “If it does hatch, there will be great rewards!”
At this moment, Li Ling was rolling around on the bed, itching all over. “Get lost, all of you. What’s the use of me looking for you guys?!” she roared. The imperial physicians knelt down in unison. Li Ling’s body was already covered in bloody scratches.
“Why is it so itchy?!” She cried. “It’s all Wen Qiong’s fault. She can’t even hatch a beast egg. Otherwise, why would I have to go to Spirit Mountain?!”
“Why are you all still kneeling there?!” Li Ling shouted at the female slaves. “Hurry up and help me scratch!”
However, the more they scratched her, the itchier she became!
The next day, the parts of her body that had been scratched even started to fester. Li Ling was tormented throughout the night and couldn’t fall asleep. The next morning, she wrapped herself up tightly and entered the palace.
“Aunt, quickly help me think of a way!” Li Ling scratched her face, which was covered in new and old injuries. Her face was very unsightly and was covered by a thick veil.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you wrapped up so tightly on such a hot day?!” Li Han, who was beside the queen, laughed. She was also from the Li family, one of the five major clans.
Li Ling was even angrier.
“Ling’er, tell me what’s going on.” the Queen asked with concern.
“Aunt,” Li Ling cried, “I went up the mountain to pick spiritual herbs for Wen Qiong and Young Master Nie yesterday. I don’t know why I became like this when I returned.” Li Ling was unwilling to tell her about the humiliating incident with Kong Rui.
When she recovered, she would definitely send someone to kill that bitch!
At the same time, she deliberately emphasized that she did it for Wen Qiong. She wanted the queen’s guilt and pity.
“You child!” The queen took a step back when Li Ling was getting closer and closer to her. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? You should have told me yesterday. Hurry up and call the imperial physicians.” Li Ling looked at the queen, who took a step back, and felt even more dejected.
“The imperial physicians have no solution. Aunt, you can’t abandon me. You can’t burn bridges. I became like this because of your daughter!” Li Ling said anxiously.
The queen was a little unhappy when she heard this. “You insisted on going to Spirit Mountain. Do you want me to say what your ulterior motive was? You asked for it, but you’re blaming Wen Qiong now.”
“That’s right.” Li Han covered half of her face with her fan and said in disdain, “Wen Qiong didn’t ask you to go. It’s already good enough that the queen and Wen Qiong are magnanimous and don’t blame you, but you’re actually blaming them!”
The queen waved her hand, indicating for Li Han to stop talking. “No matter what, I won’t abandon you. Go back first. I’ll send someone to you immediately after I find a way.”
This was a classic case of shirking. How could Li Ling not understand the meaning behind her words? She called out miserably.
The queen was irritated by her shouting. “Someone escort Miss Li back to the mansion.”
Li Ling struggled as she was dragged out.
“None of them are good people!” Li Ling kicked a female slave as soon as she went out. She continued to scratch.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to the residence, a female slave ran up to her. “Miss, look!”
The female slave brought over an arrow. There was a note on the arrowhead. Li Ling unfolded it and saw that it said, “If you want the antidote, go to Spirit Mountain alone at noon the day after tomorrow. I won’t wait for you if you’re late!”
Li Ling looked at the piece of paper and trembled with anger. So someone set her up!
Bitch! She was going to tear that person to pieces!
Everything that had happened to Li Ling was part of Kong Rui’s plan.
She was just short of the Nine Transformation Soul Pill to take control over Li Ling’s body.
There were countless alchemists in the Demon Abyss, and the most powerful one was the Poison Master. His surname was Wan, and his name was Wan Fang. Poison Master was the title given to him by the people in the Demon Abyss.
