Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 106

Chapter 106
Wei Mohai's brow was slightly creased, appearing pensive as he looked at Yun Ruofeng on the horse's back . He then lifted up the leg of Prince Yun's trousers, intending to personally suck out the venom .





However, Su Xi-er spoke again . "You are very loyal to Prince Yun, but if you directly suck out the venom, you will have fainted before the venom has even come out . "

Pei Qianhao felt that Su Xi-er was especially eloquent and talkative at the moment . Why is a palace maid caring about the affairs of another nation?

"Prince Hao, do you have a way?" Su Xi-er asked him respectfully . In reality, she was well aware of how to force the poison out . However, she couldn't reveal such knowledge as it would easily arouse Pei Qianhao's suspicions .

Pei Qianhao pointed at the sabre at Wei Mohai's waist . "If you release the blood to force the poison out, we can last until the capital . "

As soon as Wei Mohai heard that, he unsheathed the sword and made a small cut where Yun Ruofeng was bitten, causing fresh blood to flow out . The greenish hue at the back of Yun Ruofeng's ear subsided a little .





Due to the snake venom, Yun Ruofeng was slightly groggy; and in his hazy state, a name slipped out of his thin lips . "Lan-er . . . "

His voice was very soft, but Wei Mohai, Pei Qianhao, and Su Xi-er could still hear it .

Su Xi-er raised her eyebrow and looked towards Yun Ruofeng . Why did you say that name? You killed her so ruthlessly, yet you are calling out Lan-er now .

Wei Mohai bowed at Pei Qianhao before pulling the horse to the side of the normal horse carriage .

A few Nanzhao soldiers nimbly secured the reins on the horse carriage while Wei Mohai carried Yun Ruofeng in, swiftly urging the horse carriage forwards .

When Yun Ruofeng had been lifted into the horse carriage, Su Xi-er could still see the movements of his lips as he had softly spoken, "Lan-er . "

"You're worried about him?" Pei Qianhao's expression was composed, his tone steady as if he had asked that unintentionally .

Su Xi-er shook her head . "This servant is neither friend nor family to Prince Yun . Why would I be worried about him?"

"Go and pick a horse . This prince will wait for you in the capital's posthouse . " Pei Qianhao then raised the horse whip and headed towards the capital .

The remaining imperial guards followed, leaving only Su Xi-er as she watched the group fade into the distance . He's certain that I know how to ride a horse . Wouldn't I be admitting to that if I ride a horse over?

Su Xi-er decided that she would simply remain there . With how many corpses there are strewn about, someone will definitely be coming to clean this up . At that time, I can follow those people to leave, and there'll at least be a donkey or bull cart, even if there's no horse carriage .





However, there was still no one coming to clean up even after standing there for an hour . She decided that she might as well sit on the ground, and went to lean against a tree .


In less than 15 minutes, Su Xi-er's body became stiff . She immediately concealed herself in the shrubs at the side and observed the scene in front of her .

A masked man in blue walked to the meadow and looked at the ma . s . sive number of corpses . Although confusion did flash across his eyes, it quickly dissipated, only for him to crouch down to inspect the bodies carefully .

He even gripped a sacrificial soldier's wrist as if he was researching something . Su Xi-er secretly observed his behaviour . Perhaps he is a young physician who's travelling the world? There's clearly nothing to hide about that, but why is he wearing a low blue hat and a blue veil?

Just as she was mulling over it, a tiny stone flew by with a whoosh of wind . The man's gentle voice soon followed . "Who's there?"

The stone landed on the ground as Su Xi-er dodged to the side . She walked out of the shrubs, coming face to face with that man .

When the man in blue discovered that the person in the foliage was actually a woman, he no longer questioned her, but instead placed the sacrificial soldier's wrist down and prepared to leave .

"Hold on . " Su Xi-er's voice was crisp and moving .

The man in blue stopped in his tracks and gave her a baffled look . Su Xi-er pointed at the sacrificial soldiers on the ground . "Are you able to tell what kind of poison they're inflicted with by feeling their pulse?"

The man in blue shook his head and wanted to walk forward . Before Su Xi-er could ask any further, the sound of a horse carriage's wheels could be heard . The man in blue raised his head to take a look, and with some swift legwork, he instantly vanished in front of her eyes .

Su Xi-er felt that this person was very strange in terms of dressing and behaviour . If I can find out what poison it is, I can at least find the place where they manufacture it and continue to investigate who the mastermind is .
