Chapter 906 Saving Baili Rui
Lin ngya pried open Baili Rui’s tightly clenched teeth and slowly poured the brown decoction into his mouth.
When she glanced out the door, she found Yunzhu had been standing there motionlessly since he had been sent into this room.
She should have known better before doing those things.
Lin ngya had long lost her pity for Yunzhu. There were many people like her in the world.
They thought their misfortunes had been caused by others and had never introspected their own mistakes.
“When... when will he wake up?”
Her voice was light and gentle as if all her vitality had been sucked up.
Lin ngya wiped the decoction from the corner of Baili Rui’s mouth with a handkerchief and then frowned.
His condition was even worse than she had thought.
Whether he could survive depended on his willpower.
“What do you want to say even if he wakes up right now? Do you want him to face a woman who betrayed him? Do you want him to face a person who helped others to destroy his whole clan?”
Lin ngya was not a an person, but her teacher had suffered too much for Yunzhu.
She didn’t care about whether Yunzhu had difficulties and was always petty whenever the people who were close to her were hurt.
“I... No... I didn’t an to hurt him. It is Zixin that asked to...”
Seeing Lin ngya shoot a cold look at her, Yunzhu involuntarily took a step back and lowered her head. And her arrogance just now had disappeared.
“What is Cheng Zixin up to?”
Yunzhu raised her head and looked at Lin ngya with tears in her eyes.
Seeing her so haggard, Lin ngya gave up continuing to say harsh words to hurt her.
However, Qinghu had told her that although Cheng Zixin was not a mber of the Candle Dragon Cult, he had colluded with them because of Yunzhu.
Moreover, Cheng Zixin seed to have a lot to do with Yunzhu’s being poisoned back then.
After connecting those things in her mind, Lin ngya thought he might know a lot of things.
“Cheng Zixin asked to trick Baili Rui here and threaten him to make the poison. But Baili Rui would rather die than do that, so I locked him up in this room. The poppy was fertilized by human flesh. I wanted him to be addicted to it so that I can control him.”
Yunzhu avoided Lin ngya’s eyes while speaking. Obviously, she did not know how to face Baili Rui now.
“You want to control my teacher and force him to make the poison? If I rember correctly, there are many poison-making masters in Candle Dragon Cult. Why do you need him to do it?”
Lin ngya did not believe Candle Dragon Cult had caught her teacher only because of his poison-making skills.
If it were the leader who had given the order, her teacher’s identity as a forr elder would be more valuable.
But judging from Yunzhu’s words, Lin ngya believed his identity had not been exposed.
After Yunzhu had imprisoned her teacher here, she had unintentionally done Lin ngya a favor in a sense.
“The poison doctors of Candle Dragon Cult have all been taken away by the leader. Cheng Zixin still wanted to make contributions, so he attempted to force Baili Rui to make the poison. He told Candle Dragon Cult will make a big move soon.”
Cheng Zixin should be an unofficial mber of Candle Dragon Cult.
He just wanted to exchange his resources for interests. After Yunzhu had been poisoned, he had abandoned her.
He could not squeeze out any benefits from her back then, so he had cut off communication with her in her most difficult years.
It was not until Lin ngya invited Yunzhu to Sanjue Hall that he contacted her again.
And he had used a lot of blandishnts to regain her trust.
That was how things had co to this point step by step.
“Are you working for Cheng Zixin or Candle Dragon Cult now?”
Yunzhu showed a complicated expression, and there was a hint of desperation in her smile.
“Cheng Zixin, but it will also benefit Candle Dragon Cult. In fact, I kidnapped you not only to threaten Baili Rui but also to exchange for sothing with Prince Yu.”
Ling ngya had guessed it right, but she did not know what Yunzhu wanted.
“You want to exchange for the thing in Feng Zidie’s hand, right? Since you have struck a direct deal with her, can you tell what it is now?”
Yunzhu bit her lips and shook her head gently.
“I don’t know what exactly it is. I only know it is a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation in the Feng family. Although I talked to Feng Zidie, she didn’t agree but said she would give it to after the wedding.”
A family heirloom...
Lin ngya’s eyes flashed with calculation. If she guessed correctly, Long Tianyu must have agreed to marry Feng Zidie to get that family heirloom.
It seed Miss Feng was less stupid than before. Lin ngya had not expected her to use such a thod to get rid of her.
However, it was a piece of cake for Lin ngya to foil such little tricks.
“In your agreent, does she want to die or just leave Long Tianyu?”
Feng Zidie must not know her real identity back then.
But Yunzhu was different. She had power in the capital city and was cunning. Moreover, she hated her to the core at that ti. So, she had easily guessed many things right.
Therefore, Feng Zidie had not found out that she was the wild girl who had eloped with Long Tianyu until the very end.
If Feng Zidie were a little smarter, she would not have beco a tool used by Long Tianyu and Yunzhu.
“Miss Feng just wanted you to leave, but Miss Tong by her side secretly gave a lot of money and asked to kill you.”
It was Miss Tong again!
Lin ngya had had a strange feeling about Miss Tong since she had first t her.
Lin ngya had had dealings with Feng Zidie before. In her impression, Feng Zidie was not so vicious or selfish although she was proud.
In Yun State, Feng Zidie had been rejected by Long Tianyu once.
Why had she swallowed her pride, taken the initiative to court Long Tianyu again, and let him humiliate her?
There must be soone secretly encouraging her.
And this person had not done this out of kindness or wanted to help Feng Zidie.
On the contrary, that person must have so other purpose.
“I want you to do a favor, but this matter has nothing to do with my teacher. I have no right to make any decision on his behalf. In fact, I hope that you stay away from him and never appear in front of him in the future. And I also hope we can end the dispute between us.”
Lin ngya raised her eyebrows and treated Yunzhu in a business-like manner.
She could put the dispute between Yunzhu and her teacher aside. However, she had regarded Yunzhu as her friend at first, but the latter had frad her up again and again.
So, she must dissociate herself from her sooner or later.
“I understand what you an. Don’t worry, I won’t pester you anymore. But I hope that I can et my child before leaving. And I have to figure out whether what you said is true first.”
After Yunzhu managed to regain her composure, the coldness in her eyes made Lin ngya’s hair stand on end.
Staring at this pitiful and hateful woman for a while, Lin ngya nodded with a cold face.
Then, she turned around to take care of Baili Rui. But before Yunzhu left, Lin ngya took out a small gallipot from her sleeve and threw it at her without looking back.
“This can make him tell the truth.”
Her faint voice was emotionless. Lin ngya told herself she was not pitying Yunzhu.
She had done so because she didn’t want to waste ti.
Lin ngya had taken care of her teacher without rest for three days when his fever was gone after the poison had been detoxified.
Although there were still guards in the yard, they were not here to prevent her from leaving.
On the contrary, Yunzhu had asked them to stay here to help.
With their help, Baili Rui’s life was finally saved.
The small yard was much quieter and more spacious than the place where Baili Rui used to be imprisoned. Standing under a plum tree, Lin ngya looked at the sky in a rare daze.
The yard should be in the depths of the mansion. Every day, except for the guards’ voices, she could barely hear any other voices from the outside world.
After calculating, Lin ngya thought Feng Zidie must have beco Princess Yu by now.
She knew Long Tianyu had married her for her heirloom.
But she still felt bitter in her heart.
So, she showed a self-deprecating smile. When persuading others, she was always eloquent and confident, but when this happened to her, she found things were different from what she had thought.
No matter how carefree a woman used to be, once she fell in love, she could barely remain aloof and detached.
“Ahem, ahem...”
Hearing Baili Rui coughing, Lin ngya imdiately turned around and hurried back to the room.
On the bed, her teacher had finally woken up after being unconscious for several days.
Lin ngya breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was stronger than she had thought.
“Guards! Please fetch a bowl of ginseng soup. How are you feeling now, Mr. Baili?”
Baili Rui was very weak after waking up.
After Lin ngya helped him sit up and fed him so ginseng soup, he said in an extrely hoarse voice, “Girl, is what you said to Yunzhu true?”
After hesitating for a while, Lin ngya nodded her head.
She knew he could hear them talking at that ti.
But she hadn’t expected him to ask about it as soon as waking up.
“Alas, it’s that hard her and her son. If I had sought confirmation back then, things wouldn’t have beco...”
The look in Baili Rui’s eyes was a little gloomy. Yunzhu had been deceived for more than 20 years, but Baili Rui had also been tornted for such a long ti.
“If you had sought confirmation at that ti, Cheng Zixin would have lied to justify himself. Yunzhu has a deep affection for him, so I’m afraid that she would have thought you were lying to her. Anyway, those things are not important now. Mr. Baili, you must take good care of yourself and recover first so that you can avenge yourself.”
When Lin ngya t her teacher in the dungeon for the first ti, she thought he was the most powerful man in the world.
In her eyes, he used to be the omnipotent Saint of Poison, and she had not expected he would beco like this after rely one year.
It could be seen that “love” would torture people and make them extrely miserable.
