Evil King’s Medical Skilled Consort: Volume 9

By Wang XiaoFei

On the day of the wedding, not only did the bridal sedan chair of his beloved not arrive, it was instead carried into the palace to celebrate for the old emperor. The old emperor passed away, the one in love stepped on her to succeed the throne.

As the Conspiracy Consort, her limbs and veins were all cut off by aphrodisiac, and she was buried in the Tomb of the Underground Emperor! In exchange for her death, all the chickens and dogs in the world would be raised to the heavens!

When she woke up again, time had flowed back to three years ago. She was still a weak girl, her father was kind and her mother was kind, her sister was cute, and the person in her heart was still a modest gentleman. Huo Mingzhu sneered from the bottom of her heart. All of the peaceful love and camaraderie was just an illusion. She had already lost her life and would never believe their flowery words again.

LIFE

CHAPTER 801 - SACHET STILL

Lin Yunxi fished out a scented sachet from her bosom. It was the scented sachet that she had found in the night exploration of the memorial hall. She handed it over to Su Lv for him to examine carefully.

This belongs to my cousin, right?

Although he recognized it and was almost certain that this was the accessory Huo Mingzhu wore when he was still alive, there were so many embroidery ladies in the world that it was not impossible for them to have an identical scented sachet.

Moreover, many of the situations in this world had changed a lot from the memories in her past life. Lin Yunxi felt that she needed to be more careful, at least letting Su Lv confirm it for a while more.

Su Lv received the scented sachet, and tears immediately rolled down his listless eyes. Only after a while did he seriously nod his head.

Lin Yunxi was overjoyed. She quickly asked, Then who sent the spices inside this sachet? Or rather, who put the spices inside here?

Su Lv shook her head blankly and held the scented sachet tightly in her hands. Her tears left two clear scars on her dirty face, as if she would never hear Lin Yunxi's sigh again.

Lin Yunxi speechlessly looked at the disheveled and dispirited Su Lv, who was gasping for breath. She truly did not know what to do now.

This girl may have truly not seen anything, and did not know what exactly happened to Huo Mingzhu's body. Perhaps it was because of this that she was able to live until now, and not only had her tongue been cut off.

Su Lv was crying extremely hard, the sound was like a bellows, the tears and snot on her face made her look like she did not even human anymore, but when she stared at the scented sachet and refused to let go, Lin Yunxi felt that from time to time, her mouth would open like she was calling out to Miss.

She was a loyal girl, just like the two previous lives.

However, this kind of obedient and loyal girl, who was only fourteen years old, had once again been brought into such an inhuman state because of him.

Taking out a brocade handkerchief from her bosom, Lin Yunxi painfully wiped away the dirt on Su Lv's face. She carefully wiped off her tears, tied up her messy hair again, and then held her hands and softly instructed her.

You can stay here for now and take good care of your wounds. When I think of a way to find a safer place, I'll take you over, okay?

This was Pingyang Mansion's cellar. Although it was safe enough, it was not a place a normal person could stay in.

Lin Yunxi wanted to create a better living environment and conditions for Su Lv. She did not want to suffer from the consequences in her life again.

Looking at the food and the water bottles that he had brought over, which were enough to allow Su Lv to hide here safely for many days, Lin Yunxi told Su Lv repeatedly.

"I will come to see you often. Su Lv, you must wait here for me obediently and not make any sound. If people find out you are hiding here, you might lose your life.

That night, the black-clothed man who tried to capture Su Lv was extremely skilled, and there were no clues as to his background. Lin Yunxi guessed that the mastermind must not give up easily, and might even send people to look for her whereabouts.

Lin Yunxi said this just in case. Even if this place was Pingyang Mansion, it might not be safe enough.

Su Lv had already passed through life and death, and although her mental state did not seem to be too optimistic, she had still heard Lin Yunxi's instructions and nodded her head obediently, as if she understood the other party's intentions.

CHAPTER 802 - POISONING DEATH

Lin Yunxi did not dare to stay in the cellar for long. After pacifying Su Lv, she hurriedly left. However, she did not immediately return to her courtyard.

If someone were to observe this place from the shadows, they would probably show up to inspect the cellar after such a long time.

Fortunately, nothing happened. Lin Yunxi only returned to her room after she made sure that no one had discovered her.

Lin Yunxi quietly avoided the bud as usual. She returned to her room and sat down on a chair to light a candle.

She placed the scented sachet that she had retrieved from Su Lv's hands back onto the table, and used both hands to slowly and carefully open the scented sachet.

This was because the herbs in the scented sachet had been grinded into powder. Lin Yunxi had to be extremely careful not to disperse the herbs just because of her own breathing.

After pouring all the medicinal ingredients onto the pure white silk handkerchief, Lin Yunxi frowned and began to identify each and every one of them.

Lin Yunxi had immersed herself in medicine for many years in her past life, and she had long memorized the characteristics of all kinds of common medicine in the world. Even if they were uncommon herbs, Lin Yunxi still considered herself to be much better than many doctors and imperial physicians.

However, as they began to differentiate between each other, Lin Yunxi's brows furrowed even more tightly.

It was not because there were any problems with these medicinal herbs. On the contrary, these medicinal herbs were not special after being identified. Usually, the young miss of a family would find some medicinal herbs and store them in a scented sachet to help with their health.

The only thing that was suspicious was that Lin Yunxi found that there were two of them that had some problems.

Wearing it as a scented sachet would not have any benefits. Although the ingredients themselves were not poisonous or harmful, if mixed with another medicine, it would cause fatal harm to the human body.

Lin Yunxi ground the powder of the two medicinal herbs together and it scattered to the ground with a gentle blow.

If his guess was right, then Huo Mingzhu had really died from poison, then that also meant that the poisoner's methods were extremely brilliant.

Merely finding the sachet was not enough to confirm that Huo Mingzhu had died from poison.

Merely finding the other medicine that appeared in Huo Mingzhu's vicinity did not prove that she had died from poison.

If it was not for the fact that he was familiar with the characteristics of the medicinal ingredients, if it was placed on officials or coroners, they would not have guessed that Huo Mingzhu's death was due to the poison.

Everything was still just her speculation. If he wanted to prove his conjecture, the solution was still to find Huo Mingzhu's corpse and check her body to see if she was poisoned.

However, that was the problem.

Where was Huo Mingzhu's body?

Lin Yunxi was at a loss. That night, when she went to the memorial hall, Huo Mingzhu's body had already disappeared without a trace, and now that the memorial hall had been turned into a pile of ruins, where should she start from?

When she thought about the huge fire at the memorial hall, the image of Baili Jingqi's bald head surfaced in Lin Yunxi's mind.

Why was he in the house that night?

Was it because Baili Jingqi saw something that caused him to almost lose his life?

Thinking about it, Lin Yunxi felt that hiding in Pingyang Mansion like this was not the way to go about it. Su Lv could not make any more breakthroughs, and it seemed that she did not know anything about Huo Mingzhu's death. It seemed that she could only find Baili Jingqi and ask him about it.

As to how she would be able to meet Baili Jingqi and find a reasonable excuse, Lin Yunxi's eyebrows knitted even more tightly. She was truly unable to find the most suitable method at this time.

CHAPTER 803 - COME UP WITH A SOLUTION

After cleaning up the items on the table, Lin Yunxi changed clothes and lay down on the bed, but she couldn't close her eyes. She kept tossing and turning, and there were too many questions lingering in her mind.

When Zu'er woke up and called for her to get up, Lin Yunxi washed up and changed clothes with a tired expression on her face. She immediately came up with an idea.

Because it was still early, before the family reached breakfast, Lin Yunxi specially found the buddhist hall in the backyard and knew that Old Lady Lin would definitely wake up early to recite some sutras.

Sure enough, just as she reached the door of the buddhist hall, Lin Yunxi heard the faint sound of wooden fish knocking against wood. She coughed lightly to moisten her throat before slowly pushing open the door and entering.

Grandmother …

Lin Yunxi's small face was bitter. Her face did not have a hint of a smile, and she was also exhausted from not having slept soundly last night. Just as she made a sound, she had already caused Old Lady Lin to cry out in alarm.

Aiyo, my little ancestor, what happened? Why is your expression so ugly?

The Old Lady Lin did not even bother to read half of his scripture before she hurriedly stood up from the praying mat and went over to look at Lin Yunxi.

I heard from your brother yesterday that you didn't get a good night's rest when you just came back. Are you still not able to sleep well?

Yeah, I finally fell asleep last night, but I had a nightmare. After I woke up from fright, I couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Lin Yunxi bit her lips and revealed a pitiful and wronged expression, causing Old Lady Lin to feel heartache.

Darling, what kind of nightmare did you have? Why did you wake up from fright?

Old Lady Lin held her granddaughter's hand and sat at the tea table, unwilling to let go while holding her hand tenderly.

I dreamt of Cousin Sister A Jin, she … She said that she was very bitter and painful down there alone. The fire of the memorial hall had reached her, causing her to be unable to calm down … I looked at Cousin A Jin's body that was covered in flames. I wanted to help but I couldn't, I couldn't even get close to her … But looking at her, my heart hurts too …"

Lin Yunxi pretended to raise her hand to wipe her eyes. It took a lot of effort before she managed to squeeze out some tears.

However, it was only this small act. When Old Lady Lin heard it, he immediately started crying.

That girl A Jin, must be having a hard time ….

Seeing her grandmother also wiping her tears, Lin Yunxi felt a little bad. However, if she wanted to go to the Spirit Sight Temple to find Baili Jingqi, she could only endure the guilt in her heart and continue acting.

Lin Yunxi held the madame's hand tightly and pleaded as she looked at her with an aggrieved expression.

Grandmother, I heard from someone in my dreams that Cousin A Jin has suffered so much today, and needs her family to light a lantern for her at the Spirit Sense Temple near the memorial hall to protect her for seven or seven days. Only then will her soul be able to rest, Grandmother, what do you think …

That's a good idea!

When Old Lady Lin heard his granddaughter say this, his face immediately revealed a trace of comfort, but because he thought about Huo Mingzhu's so-called relatives, his eyes instantly dimmed down.

But your Cousin Sister A Jin's mother left early, her father and stepmother … None of the people in the Huo Family truly treated her as their own child. Where would she find relatives that would be willing to light a seven-day lamp for her in the Spirit Awareness Temple?

Thinking about the fact that her daughter had died early, and the fact that Huo Mingzhu had died accidentally, Old Lady Lin's tears could no longer be held back.

CHAPTER 804 - LAMP LAMP

Damn... I will go and light a lamp for Cousin Sister A Jin, and I will go and guard the Spiritual Awareness Temple for her for seven to four hundred and nine days!

A resolute and indignant expression appeared on Lin Yunxi's face. She gripped the Old Lady Lin's hand tightly to express her determination.

Cousin sister A Jin's father and stepmother do not pity her, grandmother, you do! Cousin sister A Jin and I grew up together, and I am her kin! Grandmother, don't cry anymore. Yunxi can go and plead for her cousin's safety!

Good, good, good!

When Old Lady Lin heard this, he couldn't even stop his tears from draining as he revealed a comforting smile.

Looking at his own granddaughter who was so tolerant and did not fear suffering, he felt relieved.

However, Lin Yunxi was a girl after all. Even though Old Lady Lin was comforted by the fact that she was asked to guard the lamp for forty-nine days in the men's spiritual sense temple, he was still a little worried.

Little girl Yunxi, your grandmother knows about this and knows that you're a well-behaved and obedient child. However, you'll have to wait for so long. Even if I agree, your mother probably won't be willing.

I won't.

Hearing that Old Lady Lin had the intention to loosen his mouth, Lin Yunxi tried her best to persuade him.

Don't worry Grandmother, guarding the light is a good deed, moreover it is for Cousin A Jin. Grandmother, don't worry, it is a good deed to guard the light, and it is also for Cousin A Jin.

Her words were careless, but in reality, Lin Yunxi's heart was beating like a drum.

Looking at her grandmother's moved appearance and the tears she was about to shed, Lin Yunxi felt a sense of unease and conscience in order to achieve her goal.

But when she thought about the truth of Huo Mingzhu's death and thought about Baili Jingqi, Lin Yunxi steeled her heart. Even if she had to lie to someone close to her, she had no other choice!

Before long, it was time for breakfast, Lin Yunxi naturally repeated her words in front of her parents, and it was exactly as Old Lady Lin had guessed. It was not only Lady Li who opposed her decision to go to the Spirit Ape Temple, even Lin Congyue had a rare serious face as he refuted her thoughts.

No, you are the young miss of Pingyang Mansion, how can you stay in the temple for so long? Nonsense!"

That's right, Yunxi, although it's extremely rare for you to think so much for A Jin, but you are still a girl. If people knew that you, a woman, stayed in a temple full of monks for so long, if word of this got out, how would you get married in the future?

Lady Li's face was filled with disapproval, although it was just as Lin Yunxi had said, she treated Huo Mingzhu as her own daughter, it was still a little different.

If a person could not be reborn from death, she valued her daughter's future good name even more.

Lin Yunchu became silent the moment he heard his sister's name, especially when he heard Lin Yunxi's description of the nightmare she was in. His expression became extremely dejected, as if he was unable to bear the pain he felt just thinking about Huo Mingzhu.

Seeing that his family's elders didn't seem to be willing to let Lin Yunxi keep watch for his cousin, Lin Yunchu opened his mouth to say something. In the end, he endured it and closed his mouth tightly, lowering his head.

Be obedient, this matter is enough for you. Forget about going to the Spirit Awareness Temple.

Lin Congyue and his wife looked at their son and daughter with a sad expression. After coughing for a bit, they summarized the discussion.

Lin Yunxi turned her head to the side and glanced at her brother.

Father, Mother! If I don't go, should I let my brother go? Wouldn't that be even more inappropriate? "

Lin Yunxi saw that her parents seemed to be rejecting her proposal with a long story, so she hurriedly took the initiative to speak first.

I'm a girl, that's right, but I've always been wearing men's clothes, so it doesn't matter even if people find out. Furthermore, big brother almost married Cousin A Jin at that time, and she grew up with us. Now that no one is looking after her, shouldn't I go and do something for Cousin A Jin?

CHAPTER 805 - FORGET HER

Lin Yunxi saw that her family seemed to have loosened up, and quickly tried to persuade her again.

On one hand, it's for Cousin A Jin. On the other hand, I can pay my respects to Buddha and think for myself. Father, Mother, just treat it as me doing it.

With an earnest expression and watery big eyes, she looked pitifully at her family's elders. With Lin Yunxi's actions, no matter how cruel a person was, they could not say anything to reject her.

Lin Congyue was the first to raise his hand in surrender, sighing helplessly.

Old Lady Lin had long been won over by Lin Yunxi. Now that she saw that her son did not insist, she naturally nodded in approval for Lin Yunxi's decision to go to the Spirit Realm.

Madame Li was helpless. When she saw that the manager had let go, and then thought for the sake of her daughter's reputation, she looked at her current male attire and realized that it was not easy for people to see through it. Although she was unwilling, she waved her hands and ignored her.

Thank you, Father, Mother, and Grandmother!

Lin Yunxi wore a faint smile on her face, and her beautiful appearance looked as if she was radiating a gentle radiance. Her cute and lovable appearance made Lady Li, who was initially unwilling to accept this, helpless.

After breakfast, Lin Yunxi followed her brother out of the main hall. Looking at his obviously lonely back, she quickly took a few steps to catch up.

Brother, you actually want to go with me, right?

Looking at Lin Yunchu's expression, Lin Yunxi saw that he had raised his head with a glint of light in his eyes.

However, it only lasted for an instant. The light disappeared in a flash like a shooting star.

It's not easy for Father and Mother to let you pass, how can they let a man like me run into the temple to guard a lamp for my younger cousin?

Lin Yunchu was very clear in his heart. If Huo Mingzhu was still alive, no matter what he did for her, he would get the support of his parents.

But now that his cousin had gone, he still had to shoulder his responsibilities as the son of the Pingyang Mansion.

In the future, he would definitely marry a woman who was compatible with her and pass on his family background to the Pingyang Mansion. He, Lin Yunchu, could only bury his feelings for Huo Mingzhu deep in his heart.

How could Lin Yunxi not understand this logic?

However, looking at her brother's sad appearance, she felt guilt, heartache, and also a lot of sadness.

Brother, you can't go over, how about you write a letter about what you want to say to Cousin Sister A Jin. After I go over, I'll help you burn it down to Cousin Sister A Jin, okay?

She was destined to be unable to live up to Lin Yunchu's deep emotions. The only thing she could do was comfort him a little as his younger sister.

Wait until after Cousin A Jin's seventh anniversary, Big Brother, just forget about her. What has happened has already passed, Cousin A Jin can't come back to life, you have to start your life anew no matter what.

Lin Yunchu's face was deathly pale, his head was lowered, as if he was enduring great pain. Hearing his sister's words, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

How could it be so easy to let go of a woman you love?

But what his sister said was right. A person cannot be revived even if they died. No matter how deep the affection in his heart was, he would never be able to see that person in his heart again.

With a muffled grunt, Lin Yunchu left in quick steps, as if walking a little slower would cause his face to be filled with sadness that disappeared without a trace.

CHAPTER 806 - I CAN'T GET RID OF IT

Although all the elders in
