Chapter 1159 If you don't want to die, stop pretending.
Jiang Jiaoyun and Xue Wan, who were on their way to Zhuangtou's house, heard the sound of a bowl being smashed as soon as they entered the courtyard.
The two men, accompanied by two guards, stood on the courtyard wall of the headman's main house.
With a single gesture from Jiang Jiaoyun, Xue Wan and the two guards understood.
Put on the face mask and get as close to the courtyard wall as possible.
Fortunately, the moonlight was dim tonight, and they were not easily noticeable as they lay on the courtyard wall dressed in black.
Jiang Jiaoyun used her light-footed skills to step onto the roof tiles of the main house.
Based on their memory of the layout of the main house in the courtyard assigned to them, and by judging the sounds, they were able to determine the layout.
Once the location is determined, press your body close to the tile to distribute the force as evenly as possible.
They lifted a tile and saw what was inside the house.
Inside the inner room, on the bed, the head steward was carefully picking up the broken bowl from the floor and pouring the remaining medicine into another bowl.
Then use a spoon to feed the child lying in bed.
The hands that were being fed the medicine trembled as the child on the bed opened his eyes, but no matter how the head of the village tried to coax him, he refused to take the medicine.
"Good boy, Da Long. Drink your medicine. When it gets light, Dad will sell those people and take you to the capital for treatment. I will definitely cure your illness so that you can run and jump like other children in the future."
Jiang Jiaoyun lifted the tile behind Dalong's bed, not worried that the child who had been lying on the bed would see her when he looked up.
"Father, I'm in so much pain. I just vomited blood. Am I going to die?"
Da Long lay on the bed, his voice so soft it was like a breeze; you couldn't hear it unless you listened carefully.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Look at this bowl of medicine, it's all made with the best herbs. You vomited blood because you didn't take your medicine properly. If we take the medicine, you'll get better."
Da Long then turned his head away. Jiang Jiaoyun couldn't see the expression on his face, but she could clearly see the sadness and worry on Zhuang Tou's face.
"Really? Father? But why haven't I gotten better after taking this medicine for so long?"
Jiang Jiaoyun planned to observe for a while longer, and then make her move when she found a suitable opportunity.
She was afraid that if she acted now, she might scare the child lying on the bed and cause him serious harm.
Even if they are to be sentenced, the one lying in bed can't escape punishment.
They'll probably all be locked up in this manor. With His Highness there, even beheading them all is possible.
Your Majesty is currently in the prime of life, and there is still a long time before Your Highness ascends the throne.
If Your Highness doesn't act on your desires now, what will happen if such a thing comes up again after you ascend the throne?
Even if they wanted to behead them all, a hundred or so people in the court would still object.
As they were watching, the head of the village managed to get half of the medicine into the child's mouth, but then the child vomited blood again.
Looking at the range and color of the spurting blood, Jiang Jiaoyun had many guesses about the child's illness.
Before the opportunity she wanted could arrive, the head of the village hurriedly wiped the child's mouth clean with a handkerchief and rushed out without even putting on an outer garment.
I don't know where he's going.
Jiang Jiaoyun was quite confident in her lightness skill. Even if His Highness was currently inside the house, it would take him some time to find her.
Watching the head of the manor rush out of the courtyard, Jiang Jiaoyun made a hand gesture to her guards.
Immediately, a dark figure rushed out and quickly caught up with the head of the village.
After the head of the village left, Jiang Jiaoyun placed the tiles down and landed steadily in a flash.
Xue Wan followed.
When Jiang Jiaoyun went in, she saw that the child had already vomited blood and fainted, so she covered the child's face with a cloth.
When Xue Wan followed her into the inner room, she saw Jiang Jiaoyun taking a child's pulse.
After taking the child's pulse, Jiang Jiaoyun put the child's hand back down and even removed the cloth from the child's face.
"Stop pretending. Open your eyes now if you don't want to die, otherwise even if you go to the capital, no one can save your life."
Jiang Jiaoyun took the child's pulse again on his neck.
Seeing that the child was still pretending to be asleep, he said even more directly:
"Did they tell you that your illness was something you were born with? Your features are delicate and don't resemble the village head's at all. Your mother must have been a beauty. You probably never saw her, right?"
Xue Wan's guards went to stand watch at the door, while Xue Wan held her sword and stood guard beside Jiang Jiaoyun.
Even Jiang Jiaoyun could feel the chill emanating from that sword.
Jiang Jiaoyun glanced at the sword out of the corner of her eye.
She even began to suspect that the more people Xue Wan killed with her sword, the more terrifying it became.
Xue Wanke didn't have Jiang Jiaoyun's good temper; among these girls, they all had very distinct personalities.
If Xiang Ke is a dagger laid bare, then Jiang Jiaoyun is a soft knife, or lukewarm water.
Whether that soft knife concealed deadly poison, only the souls who died by her blade would know.
Xue Wan became increasingly silent, acting swiftly and decisively, leaving no potential dangers for herself or His Highness.
Li Xianqing was the most normal-looking one among them. He appeared righteous but was actually surrounded by a bunch of brainless idiots every day in the Li family's house.
Her righteousness turning into evil is merely a facade.
She did this simply to make all the Li family members place their hopes on her, so that she could settle accounts after she came to power.
Having grown up together in the palace, Xue Wan understood Jiang Jiaoyun's meaning with just a glance.
The sound of a sword being drawn echoed through the small inner room.
Xue Wan didn't even hold the sword to the child's neck; she simply placed it on his body.
The child was immediately overwhelmed and couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"I was pretending to be asleep when I was talking to you nicely, why aren't you pretending now?"
Da Long used all his strength to try to remove the sinister-looking sword from his body.
After trying for a long time, there was still no effect.
Da Long gave up and lay on the bed facing the two stunningly beautiful but venomous women standing beside his bed.
He understood why his father had said that after this job, he could take him to the capital for medical treatment; it was true.
Even so, Da Long still snorted coldly at the two of them:
"You are not worthy to mention my mother. She was the best person in the world to me!"
Xue Wan couldn't bear it any longer and placed the sword sheath on the child as well.
The pressure made his face turn red, and you could tell he wasn't breathing easily.
"What are you pretending to be innocent for? Just because you're young doesn't mean you're some ignorant child!"
Looking at the child's features, it's not hard to guess that his mother wasn't someone the village headman found through the good road.
"Let me tell you the truth, my sister is the next generation successor of Medicine King Valley. Going to the capital won't help your illness. Only Medicine King Valley can cure you. You'd better be honest. My sister is kind-hearted and can still save you."
When he heard the words "Medicine King Valley", Da Long's eyes widened.
He was still young after all. Even though he had seen a lot of business in this village over the years and harbored evil intentions, he didn't know how to hide his emotions.
Xue Wan was only relying on the child's young age and knowing that what the child wanted most was to live.
She couldn't even use such deceptive tricks in the palace, but here she's using them all.
