"Is it human blood?"
Lin Mengya was reluctant to believe that her teacher would give her a positive answer.
But looking at her teacher's state, Lin Mengya knew that what she had been worried about had finally happened.
There was only one step between a genius and a lunatic.
It was undeniable that Baili Rui was a rare genius in the art of poison.
However, such geniuses were also the most dangerous.
Lin Mengya suddenly felt bitter in her mouth. In the past, when she was around, there was someone who could comfort her teacher.
But now, her teacher was almost crazy. He was clearly crippled.
"Guards."
Lin Mengya quietly left the stone room, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes. She had told the people who took care of her teacher not to let him do such a radical thing.
But why did her teacher become like this?
"Your Highness, I'm here."
A figure suddenly appeared in the corridor.
Although his head was lowered, Lin Mengya recognized his clothes. This person was the one she had asked for help before.
"What's going on? Why did my teacher become like this? "
There was a sense of urgency in Lin Mengya's tone unconsciously.
Before she entered the palace, her teacher was still fine. It had only been a month. What on earth had happened to make her teacher change so much?
"This …"
Just when the man was hesitating, he was interrupted by a feminine voice.
"This was arranged by Prince Yu himself. Your Highness, please don't ask anymore."
Hearing the voice, Lin Mengya turned her head and saw a graceful figure coming out from the depths of the corridor.
Lin Mengya's first impression of this man was a pretty boy with oily hair and powdered face.
However, that pair of long and narrow almond-shaped eyes had a gloomy glimmer amidst the coldness.
He was wearing a lavender dress, and his slender waist was soft. Although he was a man, he was as graceful as a woman.
When did such a person come into the family?
"Who are you?"
Lin Mengya had been on guard since she saw this man.
It was not only because of his arrogant and disdainful attitude.
It was also because this guy was neither a man nor a woman, which made her a little angry.
"I'm Meng Junlan. I'm here to replace Baili Wuchen, the useless guy. This is a forbidden place. If you have nothing to do, you'd better not go in. Don't let any accidents happen and give some traitors a chance. "
Meng Junlan did not give Lin Mengya face at all. Her tone was unfriendly, and her eyes were a little threatening.
Lin Mengya did not continue to argue with him. Anyway, he was just a small role.
Even if he did not like her, he could not do anything to her.
However, if Long Tianhao had really asked someone to do this, things would not be so simple.
In any case, she had to find Long Tianhao and ask him.
Lin Mengya wanted to bypass Meng Junlan and did not look at the man in front of her who was neither a man nor a woman.
Lin Mengya, Lin Tianhao, Lin Mengya's Lin. Lin Lin Mengya smiled.
The corners of Lin Mengya's mouth curled up into a faint sneer. She stood beside Meng Junlan, exhaling a fragrant breath, but looking very cold.
"I was wondering who it was. So it's the famous Boss Meng in the capital. "Why?" "Didn't you elope with the daughter of the Minister?" "Is it because the people don't like you, so you want to use me to show your power?" "Well, I'll give you face today. Next time, I won't be so easy to talk to."
Meng Junlan's eyes flashed with a flash of surprise.
He had never thought that his name had disappeared along with the scandal of his elopement five years ago.
Now, it was seen through by the princess at a glance.
He loosened his fist and clenched it again. He clenched and relaxed his fists. Finally, at a volume that only the two of them could hear, he said something.
"Thank you."
The entrance of the dungeon was already dotted with stars.
Lin Mengya took a deep breath and got rid of the strong smell of blood in her teacher's stone room.
Not far away, Long Tianhao's slender figure stood tall.
But he had his back to Lin Mengya, so she could not see his expression clearly.
"You didn't do what Teacher did, did you?"
The surroundings had long since become quiet.
It seemed that even the moon and the stars knew to avoid arousing suspicion. The sky suddenly became dark. The dark clouds gently covered all the light.
"I'm also responsible for what happened to Mr. Baili. I found the flesh and blood used to cultivate the ginseng for him. "
Long Tianhao did not explain, but just stated the facts.
Lin Mengya nodded. In fact, she had expected it.
Teacher's obsession with medicinal herbs was far beyond her understanding.
If he really could not get the flesh and blood used to cultivate the Blood Jade Ginseng, Teacher would really hurt himself.
She sighed faintly. She knew very well what kind of person Long Tianhao was.
If he did it, he would never shirk his responsibility.
But if it was not Long Tianhao, who was the one behind it?
Lin Mengya was still immersed in her own thoughts, so she did not notice that the dark clouds in the sky had quietly dissipated.
Under the moonlight, her contemplative profile was extraordinarily charming.
Long Tianhao could not help walking towards her. Unknowingly, his eyes were tainted with some complicated feelings.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Mengya's thoughts were interrupted by the voice so close to her.
She looked up and found that Long Tianhao had already walked in front of her.
Unconsciously, she took a step back. Seeing that she was about to roll down the stairs of the dungeon, a pair of big hands firmly grasped her slender waist.
"No … nothing. I'm just thinking about who on earth urged Teacher to cultivate the Blood Jade Ginseng. "
Lin Mengya did not notice how close they were to each other. Their breaths could be mixed together. Long Tianhao could only curse himself and suppress his desire to get closer to her.
But —
Seeing that Lin Mengya, who was usually smart, did not care about getting closer to him, he was still a little happy in his heart.
"Anyway, it's just a ginseng. Even if it's cultivated with human flesh and blood, what's the big deal? "
Long Tianhao's tone was soft and he whispered in Lin Mengya's ear.
Her ear felt a little numb. Lin Mengya subconsciously moved away, but she still did not notice that the distance between them was ridiculously close.
"No, this medicine is called Blood Jade Ginseng. But it has nothing to do with ginseng. You know, humans are the most intelligent of all living things. If we use humans to nurture them, it will be impossible for them to survive. What do you think this medicine will do? "
Lin Mengya's words reminded Long Tianhao.
Every time, Baili Rui only wanted the bones of those who had died not long ago.
Therefore, he could only use death row prisoners to satisfy Baili Rui.
But recently, Baili Rui's demands became more and more insatiable. He actually wanted a living person to cultivate the medicine. If he hadn't rejected it, the stalk of herb would have eaten him.
"No wonder he recently asked me to give him the flesh and blood of a living person. I refused him and he was quiet for a few days. What's so strange about this medicine? "
Since they had already talked about business, Long Tianhao did not stick to Lin Mengya anymore.
Anyway, he had taken advantage of her enough today. It was better not to go too far. After all, Lin Mengya could not be so preoccupied every day.
"Blood Jade Ginseng is originally an elixir from the icebergs that are covered with snow all year round. It is said that it can prolong life and make people immortal. Of course, it is not so powerful. Although it is a nourishing medicine, it is too cold because it grows on the snow-capped mountains all year round. If it wants to be used in medicine, it must be mixed with medicine. If it is nourished with the flesh and blood of an adult man, the cold will be eliminated. By then, in addition to the nourishing effect, the Blood Jade Ginseng can — kill people invisibly and control people's minds. "
Judging from Lin Mengya's expression, it might not be so simple.
But control people's minds? That was a little unbelievable, wasn't it? After all, no matter how powerful it was, it was just a medicine.
Seeing that Long Tianhao did not believe her, Lin Mengya explained.
"In fact, there are many medicines in this world that have incredible effects. This Blood Jade Ginseng has the ability to confuse people's minds as long as it is stained with flesh and blood. To put it bluntly, even the smell of its pollen and juice has a strong hallucinogenic effect. So I think Teacher was able to distinguish it in the beginning. But now, I'm afraid that he's already been affected by the effects of this herb. However, I feel that Teacher has made some preparations beforehand. Otherwise, he would have gone crazy by now. "
Lin Mengya's words shocked Long Tianhao.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be better to get your teacher out of here? And there are so many people in the dungeon, will they — "
Lin Mengya shook her head, and the bitterness on her face deepened.
"If it was in the early stage, it might be able to save Teacher. But if I'm not wrong, Teacher has already started to consume the leaves of the Blood Jade Ginseng. If not, Teacher wouldn't be able to hold on until now. But this is like drinking poison to quench thirst. Once Teacher is away from the Blood Jade Ginseng, he will die. As for the people in the dungeon, you don't have to worry about them. Although the Blood Jade Ginseng is powerful, the area it can affect is relatively small. As long as your men don't stay in Teacher's room for too long, it will be fine. "
Long Tianhao also calmed down a little. It was not worth it to sacrifice his own people for the sake of a crazy old man.
