First Concubine

Chapter 29 Conquering Demons (2)

The cold wind howled, making the leaves rustle. Dark clouds rolled in the dark night, covering the stars and the bright moon. The surroundings were as dark and silent as an endless purgatory. Shui Linglong's heart suddenly rose to her throat. She turned around and saw nothing but darkness. A demonic cloud, like a hurricane, flew towards her in all directions! She couldn't run faster than them, and except for a few sparse banyan trees, there was no place to hide from danger.

Zhifan was so frightened that she, who prided herself on being knowledgeable, couldn’t tell what the pile of things was!

At the critical moment, a strong wind came from the north and hit the pile of black strange birds. There were only "bang bang bang" explosions, and the strange birds turned into a pile of blood.

“Hiss!” Shui Linglong gasped. A fish that slipped through the net got into her back collar at some point and bit her hard.

Zhuge Yu’s expression changed upon hearing this! He quickly rushed to Shui Linglong's side, pulled out the bat and threw it far away.

Zhifan finally came back to his senses and bowed: "Your Majesty!"

Shui Linglong pressed the wound on the back of her neck: "What is this?"

"Blood bats specialize in sucking the blood of people and animals." Zhuge Yu took the boiled water in Linglong's hand, looked at the wound carefully, and said, "It seems...it's not poisonous. Come on, take it."

Zhuge Yu asked Shui Linglong to pick up the hair on the back of her head. The back of Shui Linglong's neck felt warm. Zhuge Yu's soft lips had already covered her wound. The textures touched each other, and the fragrance hit her nostrils. A heat wave spread across Zhuge Yu's lower abdomen. As he rose, the early spring night was extremely cold, but he felt like he was in midsummer, and even his palms were sweating.

 A man other than Xun Feng had physical contact with her. This feeling was... very strange. Shui Linglong's limbs were slightly stiff, and his soft lips sucked on the wound, which gave her a slight tingling sensation. But after each sucking, the tip of his tongue slowly licked it, making her feel itchy and comfortable. She was sixteen, and her mental age was in her late thirties. When an incredibly handsome man who had just rescued her was doing such an intimate act towards her, it was... hard for her not to think about it.

 “Didn’t you say it’s not poisonous?” Shui Linglong moved her shoulders.

"Just in case." Zhuge Yu reluctantly let go, took out a box of gold sore medicine from his arms, and applied it carefully to Shui Linglong. His movements were very gentle, for fear that the calluses on his fingertips would scratch her delicate skin.

“Do you always carry the golden sore medicine with you?” Shui Linglong asked doubtfully.

"Didn't someone get slapped with a ruler today?" Zhuge Yu said teasingly and took Shui Linglong's left hand. He felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the red and swollen patch on it. He blew it gently before applying a layer of it. Golden sore medicine.

Shui Linglong smiled narrowly: "You...have been waiting for me outside? You like me so much!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Zhuge Yu's obsidian eyes, and then he snorted: "Who...who...who has been waiting for you? I just passed by Qin Study and heard the sound of a ruler beating and someone's scream, Master. I don’t want to marry a daughter-in-law whose hands are swollen like pig’s trotters!”

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, she...screamed? when?

Zhuge Yu was the worst at telling lies, so he quickly changed the subject: "How come there are blood bats in your house? Have you ever found them before? Such things are usually found in damp, cold places." He looked around, His thick eyebrows furrowed, "Shang Shu's Mansion is indeed too humid and cold, with mountains and rivers everywhere!"

 He was thinking about whether he should advance the wedding date? Anyway, Linglong's life in the mansion was not easy, so she probably wouldn't miss this kind of place.

Shui Linglong has never seen a blood bat in Shangshu Mansion in her two lifetimes. If it was not man-made, how could it be possible? However, she was not prepared to tell Zhuge Yu. Zhuge Yu seemed to be protective of his shortcomings. She was his fiancée and was equivalent to his object. Bullying her might be a slap in his face in his eyes, so she confessed the suspect and killed him according to Zhuge Yu's instructions. The brute strength of Xue Juan and her husband would make the Shangshu Mansion a river of blood tonight. She didn't sympathize with them, but why did she let them die so happily? Shui Linglong smiled: "It has happened before, and occasionally servants have been bitten."

Zhuge Yu paused for a moment: "That's it. Then don't wander around at night. I'll bring you some anti-bat medicine later. If you have to go out of the yard at night, remember to apply the medicine first." After that, he added Feeling that he cared a little too much, he hurriedly cleared his throat and said, "I just don't want to be known as a wife-suppressant anymore. Don't think that I really care about you!"

　　A bit...macho! Shui Linglong's eyes flashed with a hint of calculation, and then she crossed her fingers and smiled so much that her branches trembled: "Zhuge Yu, the eldest son, the eldest son, you have great magical powers, and the slave family admires you so much!"

That "oh" turned around and around, and Zhuge Yu was so shocked that the inside and outside were tender. This woman's head must have been caught in the door! But her words still made him happy! He turned sideways and raised an irrepressible curve at the corner of his mouth: "Isn't that right? I will defeat the invincible opponent in the capital!"

Yes, the day before yesterday, the son of the imperial censor was beaten to death again! It's a good thing you have a good father, otherwise dying a hundred times wouldn't be enough! Shui Linglong pursed her lips and said shyly: "You are so powerful, can you help me with some things?"

For the next period of time, the girls of the Shui family lived in a "respectful manner" with each other, without any quarrels or strife. Especially in the classroom, they were as harmonious as if they were born from the same mother's womb. Everyone gradually figured out Jin Shanggong's temperament, and they could sum it up in one sentence: This old woman is an arrogant lunatic! Don't question her, don't disobey her, don't disrespect her! She is always right and others are wrong. Under her, they were to worship her like a god. The one who couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere was Shui Lingxi, who had always been in the spotlight. She cried in front of Shui Hange more than once, but Shui Hange always rejected Shui Hangge on the grounds that Jin Shang Palace was a guest invited by Concubine Yu. Lingxi’s accusation. Shui Linglong actually didn't like it either. She vaguely felt that Jin Shanggong was not simply teaching them music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but more like teaching them how to adapt to the environment and please others. But what environment do they need to adapt to? Who do I need to please?

Huayi died after all, his body was wrapped in straw and leather and dumped in a mass grave without even a coffin. Because she bit her tongue and committed suicide, which was an unnatural death, Mother Zhao cursed her **** body, completely forgetting how this delicate woman had **** and bleeds over and over again under her son.

Shui Hangge still stayed in Changlexuan every night. He once thought of Aunt Lan and spent two nights in Aunt Lan's room, and never went there again.

This night, after taking a bath, Shui Linglong leaned on the soft couch and read a book. It was not a military strategy or a way to govern the country, but some stories circulated in the market, commonly known as novels. Tonight it was Liu Lu's turn to be on duty. Liu Lu changed into a green plaid printed short jacket and a plain white floor-length skirt, making her look slim and slender. Shui Linglong glanced at her, her eyes calm, and continued to read the storybook in her hand, and said lightly: "I will get married in a few months, and there are many servants in the yard. Liu Lu, what do you think?" Who better to go to the palace with me?"

Liu Lu was fiddling with the smoker's hand. For a moment, she almost thought the eldest lady had noticed something. But when she turned to look at the eldest lady, she didn't see anything unusual on her face. She His eyes glanced east and west, and finally turned around and said with a smile: "Mother Zhong is your wet nurse, she must go. Zhifan is not a family member, and he has no worries, so he can take him with him. As for Zhifan Ye Mao, my mother is in the house. She has an older sister who is married, and two younger brothers. They are both very young. It may be troublesome to bring her there, so I have to let her know. "

"Well." Shui Linglong turned a page, "What about you? You haven't talked about yourself yet. Don't you want to come with me?"

"This..." Liu Lu's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile, "If the eldest lady doesn't dislike my temperament and it is easy to offend others, I am totally willing." The eldest lady will get married in two months at the earliest. Before that, she might have gone to the academy with the eldest young master.

Shui Linglong turned another page and swept her indifferent eyes, which made Liu Lu's heart beat. Shui Linglong retracted her gaze and continued reading: "In the past, your temper was straight-laced, but it has changed a lot recently. People are all good at it. Change, most people are getting smarter, a few people are getting stupider, and some people think they have become smarter, tolerant, and know how to plan for themselves, but in fact they are not as good as before. Liu Lu, where do you think I belong? A sort of?"

"ah?"

"You are the maid who has been with me since I returned home. You should know me well."

A thick layer of cold sweat broke out on Liu Lu's back: "The eldest lady... The eldest lady is extremely smart. It's really not something I can figure out in a few months."

Shui Linglong smiled faintly: "So, you have indeed been thinking about me."

“…” Liu Lu was speechless, lowering her head and not daring to answer.

Shui Linglong twisted the tassel around her waist: "It doesn't matter if you can't answer the answer. Tell me about yourself. What kind of person are you?"

"Huh?" Liu Lu was startled again, and tried to calm down, "This slave belongs to..."

Liu Lu was really thinking seriously about whether she was getting smarter or stupider a second ago, or was she self-righteous...? The next second, Liu Luru was struck by lightning, and the eldest lady... doubted her!

Shui Linglong didn’t force Liu Lu or break her. She wanted to see how long Liu Lu could hold on. Compared with the honest and honest Ye Mao and Zhi Fan, who uses himself to save others, Liu Lu is selfish, willful, thoughtful and resourceful, and sincerity is exactly what she lacks the most. She is only loyal to herself.

Liu Lu found that the eldest lady was reading the script again, and she felt even more frightened. She didn't think there was anything wrong with betraying her master, but if the betrayal resulted in eternal disaster, she would feel it was not worth it. There was a war between heaven and man in her heart. How could she find a balance point that would not offend the eldest lady but please the young master at the same time? This seems difficult. The eldest lady and the eldest young master are opposites. If you want to please one, you will definitely offend the other. At least, that's what the eldest young master said, so he let her attack the eldest lady. The problem now is that the eldest lady has already suspected her, and it will not help if she takes action. Not only will she not get any credit, but she will also be disliked by the eldest young master. Instead of doing this, it is better to ask the eldest lady to show her a clear path! Anyway, the eldest lady dare not really kill the eldest young master.

After finishing her mental struggle, Liu Lu knelt down on the ground, handed the medicinal powder hidden in her sleeve to Shui Linglong, and said frankly: "This slave likes the eldest young master. In order to gain the eldest young master's appreciation, I promised him to put it in your soothing incense until you Get married."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows lightly: "Oh? What kind of poison?"

 “Exquisite musk.”

Shui Linglong shook her hand and tore a page of paper apart. Shui Minyu planned to prevent her from ever having a child, right?

She threw the book away and threw it into the charcoal stove. The flames suddenly burned like a seductive evil flame. Her delicate face gradually became ethereal and insubstantial after the light smoke...

 It is late at night and the wind is biting.

Shui Lingyue has always had the habit of getting up at night, even though she doesn't drink much water before going to bed. She lifted up the quilt and stood up as usual, preparing to go to the toilet, but she didn't know who was playing a prank on her, and actually threw her into an extremely strange place, like a room, surrounded by countless luminous pearls, illuminating the place. It was like daylight, but it was empty, not a single person. She covered her stomach and started looking around for the toilet, but there was no way to go except the walls!

I can’t hold it in anymore. What should I do if I can’t hold it in anymore?

Shui Lingyue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, going back and forth, going in circles, she shouted: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Let me out! Let me out!"

 No one answered.

 The strange thing is that Shui Lingyue is not very scared, she just really wants to pee!

Finally, she couldn't hold it any longer, so she lifted up her skirt and took off her obscene pants, intending to solve the problem on the spot. Unexpectedly, a group of people came from nowhere and walked towards her laughing and joking. Her naked **** instantly appeared. Being seen out!

She turned around embarrassedly, forgetting to pick up her pants. Just when she wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl in, a warm big hand placed on her shoulder, and a magnetic voice sounded from behind: "Don't be afraid, Miss Fourth, I am here and I will help you."

Shui Lingyue felt warm in her heart and turned around slowly. Suddenly, what came into view was a ferocious face with bleeding from all its orifices! There is a long scar on the right side of that man's face!

Shui Lingyue was horrified: "Ah? Why is it you? You...you..."

The man smiled evilly, gritted his teeth and said, "What? The fourth lady was surprised to see me? Didn't you call me from the countryside? Didn't you say you would grant me glory and wealth? But in the end, what did you do? Ah ?”

"I...I...I didn't mean it! Don't look for me...don't...ah-" Shui Lingyue's lower body hurt, and a stream of blood flowed out. The man had already invaded her severely, "This is your fate! Among the sisters, you are the most vicious! I was blind to help you! If you don’t give me a chance to survive, I will humiliate you until you die!”

Shui Lingyue cried till she was hoarse: "Please...let me go..."

 “Open your dog eyes and see clearly who I am!” the man said viciously.

Shui Lingyue held back the pain, raised her eyes, and was stunned for a moment: "Jin... Jin Shanggong? How could it be you? You... you are a man? Ah - let me go! You beast! Get off me quickly ! Get out! Get out! Help--help me--"

"Miss! Wake up! Miss, wake up! Are you having a nightmare? Why are you screaming so hard?"

Shui Lingyue suddenly opened her eyes, sat up in excitement, and saw maid Chunyan sitting by the bed. Then she realized that she had just had a nightmare: "It scared me to death, it really scared me to death!"

Chunyan smiled and comforted: "It's just a dream. Don't be afraid, Miss Fourth! I will light the lamp for you."

Chunyan lit the lamp and there was light in the room. Shui Lingyue's nervousness eased a little, but she was still a little scared.

Chunyan stepped forward and wiped the cold sweat from Shui Lingyue's face with her hand. Shui Lingyue glanced sideways and was horrified. She grabbed Chunyan's hand and asked warily: "You...how did your hand become like this?" Big? Are the hairs so long? Are you... the original Chunyan?"

Chunyan's smile slowly turned ferocious, and her soft voice suddenly turned rough and wild: "I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly! It doesn't matter if you see through it. Now that I'm here, I have no intention of getting out alive! You can't get out of here alive!" Damn it, I will settle this account with you tonight!"

After saying that, "she" took off the human skin mask on her face, revealing the face with the scar of fear!

"Uh-" Just as Shui Lingyue was about to call for help, he quickly tapped her dumb hole, then took out a cloth bag and poured it on Shui Lingyue. In Shui Linglong's frightened gaze, countless black snakes, Earth dragons and maggots fell from the sky. She opened her mouth wide in surprise. Several earth dragons fell into her mouth. She was scared to death!

"ah-"

 A wave of heat spurted out from below, and she became incontinent...

Shui Lingyue trembled all over and suddenly opened her eyes! I found myself on a familiar bed. The room was dark and there were no lights on. It was just another dream!

It’s actually a two-layered dream!

Shui Lingyue was soaked in cold sweat. She was panting heavily and wanted to call the maid in, but she found that her throat hurt terribly. She was probably infected with the wind and cold.

 She touched her **** and frowned, she really... wet the bed!

 What a shame!

She stood up tremblingly and opened the cupboard door in the thin moonlight, ready to find a clean set of dirty clothes. Unexpectedly, when the cupboard door opened, she let out the most miserable scream in her history!

 There are no more clothes in the cabinet!

 There is only one **** ball!

The **** ball flapped its wings and rushed out the moment the cabinet door opened! Immediately, she saw a **** head hanging there, with eyes wide open, with a kind of fear and unwillingness. The blood in the cheeks was sucked out and sunk deeply, making it look more and more like the eyes were about to burst out! And the scar on his right face is as clear and ferocious as ever! The most terrifying thing is that there is a long spine attached to it, white, reflecting the cold light of the moon...

The blood all over Shui Lingyue's body froze into ice at this moment!
