Chapter 1074 Bai Jinghong's Sorrow
The former eldest daughter of the Duan family and later the eldest daughter of Duke Wenguo's Mansion, Bai Jinghong, had a smooth life in the first fifteen years. Although her mother traveled to two families and she also regarded others as her father, the attention and love she received never changed.
Whether in the Duan family or in the Bai family, she has always been the most favorable child in the family. Even the children born by Duke Wen’s mansion cannot match his treatment.
Her pride, her self-esteem was maintained for fifteen years, and finally all of them were broken with Bai Heran's return.
Bai Heran used to be the person she hated the most. During her days in the water prison, she only did two things every day, one was to live, and the other was to curse Bai Heran.
She almost used all the most vicious words she could master to curse the Bai family's legitimate daughter until she was rescued by Lin Hansheng and brought to Gebu. She even begged the King of Gebu to harm Bai Heran.
In fact, it was also a disaster. After Lin Hansheng rescued her, he had dyed her with Baihe, but unfortunately he failed.
In Lin Hansheng's words, Bai Heran is the most special person he has ever seen in most of his life in practicing Gu. Even if he uses his natal Gu, he has no choice but to use Bai Heran.
The Gu worm, which has always been unfavorable, will show extreme fear as soon as it approaches Bai Heran, and even uncontrollably manifests a state of listlessness. If he hadn't taken back the Gu worm in time, he would probably die.
Once the natal Gu died, his fate would not be much better, so Lin Hansheng did not dare to try again.
Bai Jinghong still didn't understand why Lin, the concubine of Duke Wen's mansion, had such great ability. It was not until she went to Gebu that Lin Hansheng was originally a Gebu person and walked around Dongqin as the headmaster of the opera troupe to collect information for Gebu so that the king of Gebu had a deeper understanding of the territory of Dongqin and the customs of the people in various places.
She hated Bai Heran, but this hatred changed after Gebu.
Compared to Bai Heran, she now hates King Gebu even more because it was King Gebu who gave her the greatest humiliation in her life, and King Gebu made her beautiful and jade-like body ruined.
She had the biggest dream in the past, and she originally wanted to marry the future emperor.
Now she is also the emperor's woman, but not the emperor of Dongqin, but Gebu.
It would be fine, but the king didn't know how to pity her at all. After he possessed her, he sent her to Tongcheng and Lancheng to plant a worm on her, so that she could use the power of beauty and the worm to confuse and control the two prefects.
She had to deal with the two men and use her own body to have fun with them.
Bai Jinghong felt disgusted as soon as he thought of this, but she couldn't get rid of it because she was poisoned by Lin Han.
The poison will occur every five days, and when it occurs, it is like chewing insects, making it piercing pain.
She must be obedient, because only by obedient can she get the antidote. If she is disobedient, Lin Hansheng will give her the antidote a few days later. She will not die, but will only feel painless. That feeling is thousands or a hundred times more painful than death.
Today's medicine was delivered early in the morning, and she didn't have time to take it because she wanted to talk to people from Zhangjia Town.
I thought the toxic attack could be noon at noon, but I didn't expect it to start so soon.
Bai Jinghong was calculating on the time, but as he calculated, he felt shocked.
Because the interval seems to be shortening a little bit, sometimes a stick of incense in advance, sometimes a cup of tea in advance, sometimes an hour in advance, this time it is from noon to morning.
Once this goes, the five-day interval will shrink into four days, and she will become more and more dependent on Lin Hansheng.
But what can she do?
She lived in Duke Wenguo's mansion for ten years and only knew that her concubine Lin's father was a troupe leader, and Lin even held a low position in front of her mother and obeyed her orders.
However, I didn't expect that the person would hide it. My father was an important figure in the country of Gobu, and he also gave him a powerful poison.
How could she have thought that one day her fate would be linked to Bai Yanyu's grandfather?
But reality is always unexpected and cruel. Now she is not only poisoned by Lin Han, but also has to meet Lin Hansheng's needs for beauty from time to time.
In other words, in addition to the two prefects of Lancheng Tongcheng, and the monarch far away from Gebu, she also had to commit herself to the old man Lin Hansheng.
Whenever she thinks of this, she is very embarrassed and angry.
It’s not that she has thought about dying. She never wanted to live for many times. She used any means to be the future queen, and even thought about using her beauty to confuse a prince.
But that doesn't mean she can accept betray her to countless men at the same time. What's the difference between it and the girl in the flower building?
How could her grand young lady of the Bai family withstand such humiliation?
But she couldn't die. First, her biological father was still in Gebu, and second, the king of Gebu once threatened her with an extremely terrifying thing - as long as she died, Lin Hansheng would be made into a Gu puppet and let her be driven.
What's even more terrifying is the method of making a Gu puppet. It is to use the secret technique of song cloth to call the three souls of the dead back to one soul, so that the dead people will become an obedient puppet like a walking corpse.
And during her time as a mutte, she would still feel pain because of the existence of that soul.
That is truly life is worse than death, and it is even more terrifying than now. And once she becomes a Gu puppet, she will not die again. Unless the dollmaker dies, she will be the other party's slave for life.
Bai Jinghong shivered, stood up from the ground, and walked into the secret room.
This secret room is not too big, but there is a small compartment where it originally contained jewelry that Wei Jingtong thought was very expensive, but now the jewelry has been replaced by fake ones, but a small couch was placed in, and there was still a person lying on it.
She walked up to the man, looked down from above, and couldn't help but sit down, reaching out to touch his cheek.
But as soon as he reached halfway through his hand, he stopped, and after a while, he took it back.
"You princes were my dream and my goal. I have imagined more than once that I would marry one of you in the future and tie you up with my beauty for the rest of your life.
Your Highness Ninth, I have thought of you, Your Highness Ten, and I even secretly thought of Your Highness Fifth and Your Highness Fourth, but I have never thought of you, one day when you sleep in front of me, I will feel dirty even when touching your cheeks and are not worthy of contacting you."
The person who fell asleep on the couch was the ninth prince Jun Muchu, but this person didn't seem to be sleeping simply, as if he had lost his mind and lying here like an unconscious body, with nothing left except for his faint breathing.
Bai Jinghong tucked the cover of the quilt for him again, and smiled bitterly, "All of them are miserable people, all of whom were harmed by Lin Hansheng. They expected that the Tenth Highness and Bai Heran would come to find you, and they were afraid that they would send you to the Gebu meeting to bring this disaster to Gebu, so they chose to attract them in Lancheng.
Your Highness Ninth, you are Zhenzhen’s fiancé. Aran treats Zhenzhen very well. She will definitely come even for Zhenzhen.
But I have hid you for so many days, why haven’t they come yet?”
She had never been looking forward to Bai Heran's arrival as she is now. From the day she heard that the ninth prince had caught Lin Hansheng's words and was captured in Lancheng, she had been looking forward to Bai Heran.
Because she knew that Bai Heran was a miraculous doctor who could relieve the world's strange poisons.
She had thought about it and whenever she saw Bai Heran, she would immediately kneel in front of Bai Heran for help.
As long as Bai Heran can detoxify her, she will kowtow to Bai Heran to admit her mistakes, and even be a maid for Bai Heran for the rest of her life.
She would confess her guilty of any wrong things she had done before, no matter how Bai Heran beats and scolds her, she would admit her.
Everything is for detoxification, everything is for being able to get rid of the control of Gebu and Lin Hansheng over her.
As long as she can escape the claws, she is willing to do anything for Bai Heran.
But why haven't you come yet?
Bai Jinghong looked at the ninth prince and felt sad, "You and I have all fallen to such an end, waiting for the same person to come to rescue him, but why haven't she come yet?
Your Highness Ninth, I really envy you because as long as she comes, she will definitely rescue you unconditionally.
But I am different. I am her enemy and she hates me to the core, so I don’t know how to ask for her forgiveness.
Your Highness Ninth, I hid you here and never let anyone harm you. Even Lin Hansheng tried to abuse you several times and was stopped by me. Can you tell me about this for your sake?”
Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly, "How could he be entreating for me?"
You don’t know what I do, how can you plead for me?
I've stabbed Lingxi before, and you all want me to die and cannot plead for me.
No one wants to die, but I am not afraid of death. I am just afraid that the body after death will fall into the hands of the Gobu people. They will make me a Gu puppet so that I will never be reborn.
I was scared, so I must find A Ran, even if she killed me, I just want her to burn my body after killing me, so that there will be no bone residue left, so that the Gebu people's thoughts will be broken."
She stood up and sighed, "I always thought that my beauty was the greatest pride and capital, but now I hate this face very much.
If my parents didn’t give me such a beautiful life, would my life be different?”
What would it look like if life was different?
Will it be an ordinary family, where men and women get married, men and women wove?
That's fine, she thought, that's fine.
At least there is no need to deal with worldly troubles, no need to intrigue, no need to plot, no need to conspire.
She can give birth to a few children and raise some chickens and ducks, get up every morning to feed the chickens, and tell folk stories to her children at night.
She used to dislike such a life, but now she yearns for such a life.
People really need to experience to grow, and their greed will indeed have to go through severe damage before they can return to their essence.
But she didn't know if she had any chance to do it again.
There was a sound outside the dark room. She could hear that it was the maid named Xiaoju who was patting the wall and calling her: "Madam, are you okay?"
Do you want Xiaoju to ask the doctor to see you?"
She hurriedly left the dark room, and as soon as the door was opened, Xiaoju broke in, grabbed her wrist and said anxiously: "Madam, you are scaring me to death, are you okay?"
