Hot!

A wave of heat washed over me.

Inside the carriage, Mulan's body went limp and she leaned against the side wall.

"Green Leaves...."

He called out several times, but no one answered.

"Don't shout anymore, my dear sister-in-law. Even if you scream yourself hoarse, no one will come."

The curtains rose, revealing Ye Jia Yi's triumphant smile.

Yunci was surprised: “Sister-in-law.”

To everyone's surprise, Ye Jiayi's face turned pale when she was called "sister-in-law" by the woman. She glared at her with fury.

"You slut! I am the one who holds Erlang's heart, and you dare to compete with me?" Ye Jiayi sneered: "From today onwards, everyone in the capital will know that Lan Yunci is unfaithful to her husband, unable to bear loneliness, and selling herself in the wild alleys. Just wait to be abandoned by the Lu family!"

Yun Ci was stunned.

How could she address her husband as "Erlang" so intimately?

I've only been married for a month, but my sister-in-law has been so kind and warm to me. She always finds time to chat with me about everyday things.

Yun Ci also pitied Ye Jia Yi. She had just married not long ago when her husband passed away, and she had been widowed for two years, living a difficult life.

Therefore, Yunci treated her like family and confided in her without reservation.

Yesterday, Ye Jiayi said she had nightmares these two days and wanted to go to the temple to get an amulet for peace. Unfortunately, she wasn't feeling well. Yunci immediately expressed that she could go instead.

Ye Jia-Yi laughed triumphantly, "The second master was forced to marry you. He hasn't even stayed in your room for a month since he came here. You silly fool!"

Yunciforced against the car wall, gritting her teeth, said: “No, it's impossible, my husband he just…”

"You're just worried about your grandmother's safety, so you have no time for matters of love and romance?" Ye Jia Yi took over the conversation, coldly smiling: "Foolish man! Your grandmother is in good health. This is merely an excuse to cover up for you. You have been staying overnight in my room every day."

"This is impossible!" Yun Ci's face turned pale with disbelief.

Lu Yanci and she were childhood sweethearts, their marriage had been arranged since they were born. He was kind and patient, how could he possibly dislike her?

It's even more unlikely to be entangled with elder sister-in-law Ye Jia Yi.

Seeing that she still didn't believe him, Ye Jiayi grew even more pleased: "Your father, Nanlan Xin, was accused of corruption and bribery in the early court session. The emperor ordered his legs to be broken on the spot. No one dared to plead for him. Do you know who made the accusation?"

“It’s Erlang! It took Erlang three years to gather the evidence. The Lan clan is facing their doom – confiscation and annihilation. By the way, this morning the Lu clan was bestowed the title of Duke by the Emperor, and Erlang was made a Prince. This is all thanks to Erlang helping the Emperor. Now you are a disgrace to Erlang. Naturally, there’s no need for him to pretend with you. Besides, who in the Lu clan doesn’t know that Erlang carries the weight of two households? My child in my womb will be the future heir of the Lu clan. As for you… just enjoy yourself.”

At Ye Jia's instructions, the two nannies rushed onto the carriage and forcefully grabbed Yun Ci's arm, pulling her down.

Yun Ci was furious and struggled to the utmost.

"Bang!"

Ye Jia-Yi raised her hand and slapped her hard across the face.

This slap was incredibly forceful.

She felt her head growing heavier and her ears ringing.

Ip Ka-yi instructed the two maids, "Send this person to Yun Tai Pavilion and make sure they are well taken care of!"

"Rest assured, madam, the old slave will definitely take care of it."

Bang!

Yun Ci was thrown heavily onto the bed.

A splitting headache!

She rubbed her forehead, wasn't she just having a few too many at the lab celebration?

Wait a minute!

Yun Ci narrowed her eyes. She was known as someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk in the entire medical research team.

Something is wrong!

Yun Ci bit her tongue, the pain bringing back some sense. She looked at the antique surroundings, still dazed, when the next second, countless memories surged in like a tidal wave.

"Hiss!"

Yun Ci was stunned for three seconds before accepting the reality of her transmigration.

At this time, the heat in her body was still there. The moment she touched her pulse, she knew she had been given a highly potent love potion.

The original owner died because she couldn't bear such a violent medicine.

tsk tsk, what a dangerous person!

Outside the door, there came a cacophony of footsteps rushing towards this place.

Yun Ci was startled, hearing that there were at least seven people.

Creak!

The door creaked open, and as she had expected, seven burly men strode in. They were all clad in thin outer garments, their beady eyes fixed on her with a predatory gleam.

"Little beauty, I'm here. Let me take good care of you."

A large hand reached out towards her.

Yun Ci raised her eyes, a cold glint flashing in her gaze.

"You're asking for it!"

She grasped the man's wrist with surprising speed, flipping his hand over in one swift motion.

With a sickening crunch, his wrist was broken clean in two!

The man's face contorted in terror before he could even scream. The next second, his eyes widened in shock as his body went rigid and he collapsed to the ground.

Several people realized something was wrong and tried to run, but Yun Ci appeared in front of them with a flash, blocking their escape. The silver hairpin in her hand became a deadly weapon at lightning speed, quickly slashing across the throats of several people.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the cries came to an abrupt halt.

Yun Ci finally stopped and looked around. Below, the hall was bustling with people. With her current strength, she couldn't even make it out there. At that moment, she heard a gentle flowing sound from outside the window. She came to the window and, in the moonlight, saw a large river.

Without hesitation, she leaped down. The icy river water stung her, pulling Yun Ci's rationality back somewhat.

But it was only for a moment, the fire within him still burning brightly.

Right now, it's impossible to make an antidote in this situation.

Yun Ci was thinking by the river when she suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from the bank.

Flashing blades and swords, casting a blinding light, brimming with murderous intent.

It seems like there are still quite a few people on the shore.

Yunci didn't want to get involved, turning away to leave, but the next second her foot was held fast, no matter how hard she pulled she couldn't break free.

Following the current, she felt a large hand grasp her ankle.

Driven by intense desire, Yun Ci felt like she was about to explode.

He gritted his teeth and plunged into the water.

After endless languor, the poison within Yun Ci's body was finally dispelled.

She endured the agonizing pain, watched the sky lighten at the horizon, and turned to leave.

"Leaving already?" a cold voice echoed from behind.

Yun Ci only then saw the person clearly. Tall and imposing, he was strikingly handsome, especially his phoenix eyes which glittered like brilliant stars.

When she was in the river, she discovered he couldn't swim, which is why he held onto her ankle so tightly.

"What, are you going to cheat me?" Yun Ci scoffed, spreading her hands: "I don't have money, I don't have life. As for you... we've never met before, it's best if we just go our separate ways." Yun Ci suddenly raised a finger to her lips, looking alert and questioning: "Who's hiding over there!"

The man was distracted and turned back.

The next second, Yun Ci raised her hand without hesitation and struck him on the back of his neck.

Bang!

The other party fainted.

Yun Ci rubbed her aching wrists. Coming here fresh off the boat and nearly losing her life to a trap, she wasn't about to show mercy to a grown man.

Out of consideration for the fact that he had to save her last night, Yun Ci spared his life.

Then she had more important things to do.

As soon as she left, a black figure slid down from under the tree and rushed to the man's side anxiously.

"Master?"

The man woke up, the pain in his neck reminding him that Yun Ci had tricked him and run away!

"Master, my subordinate is late to save you, please forgive me." The dark shadow knelt on the ground.

Fu Xi slowly got up, thinking about what happened last night, his eyes became sharp: "Who was that person just now?"

"In reply to Your Lordship, I am Lan Yunci, the second mistress of Duke Lu's mansion."

"Nalan?" Fu Xi suddenly remembered that he had just ordered Nalan Xin's leg to be broken during the morning court, and then he met Nalan Yunci in the evening.

He wouldn't believe it was a coincidence.

"Humph! The Nalan family is truly cunning, going to such lengths to get close to me!" Fu Xi gritted his teeth. Yesterday, he went out to see his master, but halfway there, news leaked, attracting countless assassins.

He just happened to encounter a poison attack and Fu Xi's martial arts were greatly weakened. This allowed Naran Yunci to take advantage of him!

Remembering the poison, Fu Xi extended his arm and looked at the blood thread on his wrist. It had vanished.

The shadow was astonished, and with a hint of ecstasy, exclaimed: "Master, Master Lingyin said that in order to detoxify you, one must transfer the Gu worm into a host of utmost Yin and coldness, then make that host conceive a Dragon child. After that, you ingest the blood of the Dragon child as medicine, and the Gu poison within you will be dispelled."
