Chapter 827: Blood Exchange
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Shen Yijia took Song Jingchen away, the people in the small courtyard didn’t speak for a long time.
They all knew what Song Jingchen’s departure meant.
Actually, there was not much difference in staying.
MO Yuan placed Song Jingchen’s clothes, blanket, pillow, and everything else that was stained with blood into a copper basin and prepared to burn them in the backyard.
These were all sources of the plague. They could not be left behind.
When she passed by Ji Luo, she suddenly said, “Wait!”
MO Yuan stopped and turned to look at her in confusion.
Ji Luo’s gaze landed on the dark red blood on the thin blanket for a long time. He thought of something and blurted out, “Rhinoceros Horn!”
Xuanyuan Ce and Xuanyuan Ziming were shocked by her.
“The rhinoceros horn has the effect of clearing heat, cooling blood, calming the heart, and detoxifying the poison. It can treat typhoid fever, warm plague, blood fever, shock, frustration, delirium, rash, yellowing, vomiting blood, blood loss, and gangrene poison…’
She said a series of words that Xuanyuan Ce and Xuanyuan Ziming did not understand, but the two of them were not stupid.
“Madam Ji, do you mean that the rhinoceros horn can cure Brother Song?” Xuanyuan Ziming asked.
As soon as he spoke, Ji Luo calmed down. The rhinoceros horn was only a small piece that she had seen from her mother when she was young.
She had heard that it was far more precious than musk. She had even heard her mother mention its use at that time.
Putting aside whether it was useful or not, where was she going to find this rhinoceros horn to use as medicine?
Xuanyuan Ziming pursed his lips. “I know where to find rhinoceros horns.” Ji Luo suddenly looked up at him.
“I’ve been poisoned by a hundred poisonous insects for a long time. A few years ago, a commoner offered a rhinoceros horn to Father. Because it’s too precious, Father has always kept it in his treasure vault.”
Xuanyuan Ziming clenched his fists. “I’ll write to Father now.”
No matter how precious the item was, it was not as important as a person’s life.
Moreover, if not for Brother Song’s guidance, he might not have been able to do many things well.
He could have stayed out of it!
With that, he was about to walk out.
“It’s too slow to send letters back and forth,” Xuanyuan Ce said.
Xuanyuan Ziming paused. “Uncle, you mean…”
Xuanyuan Ce said, “You Er, go!”
At the Full Moon Restaurant.
Looking at the pattern on the ground that was devouring their lives bit by bit, everyone felt their scalps tingle.
After reacting, they began to cry and beg for mercy. They only hoped that Shen Yijia would let them off.
However, Shen Yijia did not even blink. She only stood at the side and watched coldly, unmoved.
As if they could tell that she would not be soft-hearted, a voice suddenly sounded amidst the pleading. “Why are you so vicious? He’s the only one who died, yet you want so many of us to pay with our lives!”
The begging stopped.
Shen Yijia looked at the burly man who spoke and narrowed her eyes.
The burly man cowered. “I didn’t say anything wrong. Every injustice has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. Ma San was the one who spilled the blood. If you want revenge, look for him. Why look for innocent people like
Ma San, who was originally in a daze, blushed and said angrily, “It’s true that I splashed the blood, but Wang Dazhuang, don’t forget that you were the one who suggested this idea in the beginning! ”
A guilty expression flashed across Wang Dazhuang’s face. “I did listen to Miss Bai Zhi and mention it. Who would have thought that all of you would be more proactive than me?”
“Besides…” Wang Dazhuang gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Yijia. “Our target was originally you. Lord Song rushed out to protect you. You were the one who killed Lord Song.”
Shen Yijia lowered her eyes. “You’re right.”
“Isn’t that right? That fool. She clearly told him that she was immune to the plague. Why did she rush out?” he thought.
He was usually such a rational person. Why was he so muddle-headed when it came to her?
Seeing that she agreed with him, the more Wang Dazhuang thought about it, the more he felt that he made sense. He wanted to say something else, but just as he opened his mouth, something flashed across his eyes.
All his words were stuck in his throat as blood gushed out of his mouth.
Wang Dazhuang’s eyes widened in fear. He looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him. His mouth opened and closed, but he could not say a word.
His tongue had been cut off.
“I don’t like to hear you talk, so you’d better shut up.”
Shen Yijia’s voice sounded in his ear like a demon from hell.
“Ah!” Everyone screamed and retreated from Wang Dazhuang in a panic, or rather, from Shen Yijia.
“Your heart is too dirty. My husband probably won’t like it.” Shen Yijia’s tone was filled with regret.
Wang Dazhuang’s pupils suddenly constricted. He covered his mouth with his uninjured hand and staggered back, wanting to escape.
How could Shen Yijia give him a chance? She grabbed his clothes and dragged him back.
Under everyone’s terrified gazes, she dragged him to the edge of the observation platform and threw him down.
Wang Dazhuang couldn’t even scream.
“Does anyone else think that they’re innocent?” Shen Yijia turned around and smiled.
“I don’t want to die!”
Someone muttered and pushed the person beside him away. He wanted to run, but he had just taken two steps when his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Right on the heels of that, one, two, three…
Everyone collapsed.
Everyone quickly realized that something was wrong. They had been drugged!
No wonder Shen Yijia removed the restraints on them. She was not worried that they would escape at all.
Xuanyuan Ye was also frightened by the scene just now, especially since she was standing beside Wang Dazhuang. Her body was even stained with Wang Dazhuang’s blood. She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and threatened with a trembling voice, “Shen Yijia, if you kill us all, Imperial Uncle won’t let you off if he finds out.”
“Then let him cause trouble for me.” Shen Yijia sneered.
The blood of nearly a hundred people quickly dyed the totems on the ground red. The smell of blood was nauseating.
Shen Yijia walked back to Song Jingchen’s side and picked him up and placed him in a clean place in the middle of the totem.
The dagger was still dripping blood in her hand. She wiped it on the thin blanket in disgust.
She said in a coaxing tone, “It might hurt a little. Bear with it.”
Xuanyuan Ye was still wondering what Shen Yijia meant when she gently cut open Song Jingchen’s wrist.
Xuanyuan Ye muttered in disbelief, “Crazy, you lunatic.”
You Yi was also shocked. Shen Yijia only asked him to help capture him and did not tell him what she wanted to do.
Now that she saw this, there was nothing he didn’t understand.
Miss was simply trying to change blood to save someone!
After reacting, he quickly wanted to stop her, but he realized that all his strength had been instantly sucked dry.
He turned his head abruptly and his gaze landed on the two lanterns fluttering in the wind at the door of the wing.
“You’re not too stupid,” Shen Yijia muttered. She lay down beside Song Jingchen and turned to look at him. “Don’t blame me. I promised to give birth to a child for you after the plague. If you don’t keep your promise, I won’t listen to you anymore.”
With that, she raised her dagger and slit her wrist without hesitation. Blood flowed out.
Shen Yijia quickly grabbed Song Jingchen’s hand and interlocked their fingers.
The moment their wrists touched, the aura around the totem clearly changed.
As if something was attracting her, Shen Yijia could clearly feel the blood in her body rushing out of the wound on her wrist.
Half of it dripped onto the totem, and the other half entered Song Jingchen’s body.
The nearly a hundred people on the other side of the totem also lost consciousness almost instantly.
Shen Yijia ignored them. She looked at Song Jingchen and raised her other hand to stroke his eyebrows inch by inch. The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, “You asked me to find another pretty boy, but I’m not as magnanimous as you. I saved your life. Even if I die, I want you to remember me. Remember, you’re not allowed to hook up with other girls in the future, nor are you allowed to marry anyone else.”
“Your wife can only be me.”
At this point, Shen Yijia shook her head. “But wouldn’t you be very pitiful then? Why don’t you marry one? You can still live for 80 years. I can’t let you live alone. ”
“But the girl you married must be prettier and stronger than me.”
Shen Yijia muttered to herself. As time passed, her face became even paler. Waves of dizziness assaulted her, and a chill spread throughout her limbs and bones.
Shen Yijia’s hand fell from Song Jingchen’s lips weakly. She subconsciously hooked her fingers around his clothes and said aggrievedly, “Hubby, it’s so cold. Hug me.” “Jiajia.” “Sister Jiajia!”
“Miss!”
While she was unconscious, Shen Yijia seemed to hear many people calling her, their voices filled with urgency.
Before she could distinguish who it was, she fell completely into darkness..
