Chapter 385 Remove the Screen
Chapter 385 Remove the Screen
hiss……
There was no difference between day and night in the basement, and Youhuang didn't know how much time had passed.
After several days of collisions, the seal was finally torn open, just like a balloon bursting after being punctured, and the soul returned to its place in an instant.
Youhuang felt the temperature of his body again and smelled the scent in the air. Just as he was about to try to move his hands and feet, he suddenly heard footsteps. He quickly stopped all movements to avoid being discovered that he was awake.
The door of the basement opened and Xuanbing and Tingxue walked in.
The two came to the couch, and Ting Xue sighed, "No matter what, it's always a good thing that Madam is willing to let the girl leave the basement."
Xuan Bing lifted the blanket covering You Huang's body, first used his hand to check her body temperature and said, "Besides anything else, it's the height of summer now, and the girl must be very happy to be able to take a comfortable bath."
"Okay, carry the girl to the curtain room."
After folding the quilt and putting it aside, Xuanbing asked Tingxue to come up and carry Youhuang to take a bath.
Tingxue came over and opened the iron shackles on Youhuang's hands and feet. Seeing the worn skin on her wrists and ankles, she couldn't help but say, "These are all Madam's own children, and they are all seriously injured and difficult to treat. Why does Madam always want to sacrifice the girls..."
"Shut up."
Xuan Bing was so frightened that he shouted, "Master, you are making up stories like this, do you want to die?"
Tingxue bit her lower lip and dared not say much. She picked up the limp Youhuang and walked out of the basement, came to the curtained room on the first floor, and placed her on the rest couch next to the bathtub.
The bathtub was filled with hot water and covered with lotus petals. The whole room was filled with the fragrance of lotus, which was many times better than the smell in the basement.
For fear of being discovered by the careful Xuan Bing, You Huang did not dare to show any comfortable expression.
"The water temperature is just right, let the girl soak for a while before washing her hair."
Reaching out to test the water temperature, Xuanbing came over, loosened Youhuang's outer clothes, and put her into the bathtub.
When her body was surrounded by hot water, You Huang couldn't help but tense up for a moment, then she relaxed all over but she didn't dare show it on her face and could only lean limply on the edge of the pool.
Suddenly, the smell of tea bran soaked in water wafted over, and Youhuang heard Xuanbing say again: "The temperature of the tea bran water is just right. I'll wash the girl's hair first. Go upstairs and get the thick cotton towel for absorbing water. I'll wipe the girl's hair later."
"You just know how to order people around."
Tingxue walked out of the curtained room reluctantly and went upstairs to get something.
"Girl, let me wash your hair."
Xuanbing rolled up his sleeves, as if afraid of scaring Youhuang, and gave him a special reminder before washing his hair.
Use a comb to first smooth Youhuang's hair, then wet it little by little with tea bran water. The tea bran water may burn your scalp a little, but it gives you an inexplicable sense of comfort.
After tossing and turning for most of the hour, You Huang lay refreshed on the big bed in the bedroom. Something soft rubbed against her ear. Before she could think about what it was, she heard Liu Shuang's voice:
"Madam has ordered that the young lady is not allowed to stay in Wangshu Tower."
"If you're not in Wangshu Tower, where else would you go?" Xuan Bing looked puzzled.
"Come with me."
Liushuang's words were concise and to the point, and his tone left no room for argument.
Xuan Bing looked at You Huang with pity. She knew that the lady was going to take action, so she helplessly signaled Ting Xue to pick up You Huang.
"Follow me and don't ask any questions."
As soon as they left Wangshu Tower, Liushuang gave orders to Xuanbing and Tingxue, as if she was afraid that Youhuang would hear it.
Youhuangren was in Tingxue's arms, but his upper body fell backwards weakly. The sunlight on his face was a little hot, but fortunately it was quickly blocked by the shade of the trees.
After walking for a while, Tingxue suddenly smelled the fragrance of daffodils and stopped. It seemed that they had reached their destination. After hearing the sound of the door opening, Tingxue was about to walk in holding Youhuang.
"Stay here, I'll carry the girl in."
The door opened, and just as Tingxue was about to go in, she was stopped outside by Liushuang.
Hearing this, Youhuang smiled sarcastically in his heart. Shen Zhaojun was indeed meticulous. She didn't even trust the people she sent.
Tingxue widened her eyes slightly. The lady was on guard against both her and Xuanbing, so she was caught off guard. She had no choice but to put Youhuang into Liushuang's arms.
Looking at the door that closed quickly, Ting Xue was somewhat unwilling but was forcibly pulled away by Xuan Bing. On the way, she whispered a warning: "Madam is determined to take away the young lady's spiritual roots. Now the Fourth Master and the Young Marquis have been sent away, unless Xue Zun appears, or the young lady's cultivation suddenly recovers."
"I hope so!"
------------------------------
The daffodils by the pond admire their own reflections, while the fish swim leisurely in the water.
In the bedroom, You Huang lay quietly on the bed, with a bottle of freshly picked lotus flowers on the bedside table.
It seemed that everything was no different from usual, but when you got closer you could see that Youhuang's hands and feet were shackled with iron shackles, which were fixed to the four corners of the bed.
Shen Zhaojun sat upright in front of the couch, gently stroking the scar on Youhuang's wrist with his hands, which were well-maintained without any trace of aging and had nail polish painted on them. He took out the ointment and applied it carefully, saying, "Xuanbing and Tingxue are still not careful enough. You should use a layer of cotton gauze to protect your wrist."
"Mother is reluctant to do this, but there is no other way." Shen Zhaojun choked with tears, and said, "The people sent to Zhongzhou sent back an urgent report saying that the ancestor's coffin could not be opened, and asked mother if she could use black gunpowder to force the coffin open. Mother thought that the ancestor's coffin could not be damaged, so she had to take a gamble... Mother would not regret it whether she wins or loses."
Youhuang was suddenly startled and opened his eyes hastily.
Shen Zhaojun didn't give her drugs these days, and Youhuang couldn't continue to pretend to be unconscious.
No wonder three days ago, Shen Zhaojun suddenly moved her out of the basement and placed her in this unfamiliar courtyard. She didn't expect this to be the result.
The coffin could not be opened, so naturally there was no way to verify what Chu Zheng had said a few days ago. It seemed that Shen Zhaojun would soon extract his spiritual roots. Although he had broken the seal and regained control of his body, the spiritual power in his meridians was so thin that he had returned to the Qi Refining Stage.
"Remove the screen."
At Shen Zhaojun's command, two maids came up and removed the screen that had been blocking the bed, revealing the bed on the other side.
A young man was lying on the bed. His face was very pale and he looked very weak. Yan Ruzhi was giving him acupuncture. A group of familiar figures were standing beside him.
Except for Chu Yi, all the elders in Wushenhou Mansion stood in front of the bed, looking at the man on the bed with heartache. When the screen was lifted away, everyone looked over subconsciously, and faced with Youhuang's cold gaze, several people dodged guiltily.
"Your fifth brother can't wait any longer..." Looking at You Huang who was unmoved, Shen Zhaojun wiped away her tears and said, "Mother can only use your spiritual vein to save him. Even if it's really like you said a few days ago, you can't be a normal man... Mother just wants him to be alive."
Youhuang didn't expect that there were so many people standing there. They had been in this room but had never looked at him. It was obvious that they were a bunch of heartless people.
It was good that they were present. Now that their spiritual power was weak, it was just the right time to take back the spiritual power from the amulets on their bodies. Youhuang's mind moved, and several spiritual powers that were invisible to the naked eye were quietly taken into his body. No one present noticed.
