Chapter 863 Begin to Recreate
Ningqiu silently followed behind Lin Mengya, and the three of them walked into the main hall of the Fengyu Court.
Since Madam moved away, this place had been empty.
Although cleaned every day, it made her feel cold and silent for some reason.
Now that Lin Mengya had taken over this place, she and Ningqiu had to stay here for the remaining three days.
Baisu would prepare everything for them.
“Have you made up your mind?”
A huge wooden tub was in the center of the main hall.
The structure of the tub was subtle, under which was a trough to place charcoal.
With the structure, when bathing in the tub, the person didn’t need to worry about the water becoming cold no matter how long she wanted to stay in it.
Warm water could help with the efficacy of the medicine.
For the next three days, Ningqiu would probably spend most of her time in this big tub.
“Miss, what do you mean?”
Compared with Lin Mengya, Ningqiu was a little too calm.
Ningqiu looked at Lin Mengya with clear eyes. It seemed that she did not understand what Lin Mengya meant.
“It is related to your life. So before it, I want to ask you, have you decided? If you regret it now, it’s still not too late.”
She didn’t want to force Ningqiu.
That would be dangerous and unjust to Ningqiu.
Ningqiu looked at her and suddenly smiled brightly.
“Actually, these months are the happiest days of my life since I was born. Therefore, I’m not afraid. Please don’t worry about me. I’m completely willing. I am sure.”
Ningqiu was very sincere, although she knew that what she would face might be several times more dangerous than that in the palace.
However, she did not hesitate because this was closely related to her fate and hope.
“Alright. Since you have decided, I’ll make it clear to you. I’ll use herbs to nourish your body so that you’ll be immune to all poisons for the time being. In the future, you’ll have to take a pill every half a month. Then, the efficacy of the medicine in your body will slowly weaken. At that time, ordinary poisons can’t do anything to you. I’ll prepare eight months of pills for you. If Xiaoyu comes out in eight months, you can come back with him. If not, Madam will send someone to support you. Remember, the pills I’ve given you are both antidote and poison. You can only take one pill every half a month. Otherwise, you’ll be poisoned immediately. Do you understand?”
The method Lin Mengya used was to counteract one toxin with another. First, she left a small amount of poison in Ningqiu’s body. Then she used another medicine to mediate it. Although Ningqiu would suffer, the harm to her body would be reduced to the minimum.
Lin Mengya’s blood, even a small amount, was the only poison that could make those venomous insects and poisonous creatures afraid.
However, the blood in her body was too potent. Not to mention Ningqiu, even her teacher might not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, Lin Mengya came up with a solution. It was to use the medicine to neutralize the toxin in her blood.
In that case, the pills couldn’t detoxify her blood but would make the efficacy lose its effect gradually.
At that time, Ningqiu could recover. But her body would be weak for a while.
“Okay. I got it.”
Ningqiu nodded. Madam had mentioned it to her before, so she knew a little about it.
Now, after hearing Lin Mengya’s explanation, she was more confident.
However, she didn’t know that what Lin Mengya needed to use later would make her suffer a lot.
“I have to note that you may be in great pain later. If you can’t hold on any longer, please tell me. Don’t force yourself.”
Actually, the great pain she mentioned had already been slightly reduced by her.
The poison in her body was too overbearing. Ordinary medicine couldn’t resist it at all.
She had to find some unconventional things to neutralize it. The side effects of them were that Ningqiu would feel extremely painful later.
“I see. Thank you for reminding me.”
Ningqiu looked at Lin Mengya with gratitude in her eyes.
After all, Lin Mengya reminded her out of kindness.
She helplessly looked at Ningqiu, who was determined. Since she didn’t care about it anymore, she didn’t have to hesitate anymore.
“Well, please take off your clothes and come to this tub.”
The hot water was outside. Lin Mengya and Baisu personally carried it to the wooden tub.
Although they were all girls, Ningqiu was a little girl. She would feel a little uneasy standing naked in front of others.
Fortunately, it was midsummer now, so it was not cold.
She took off her clothes awkwardly and stood in front of Lin Mengya.
Li Mengya took out a bowl of dark brown ointment suddenly.
She fiddled the ointment with a jade pestle seriously. Then she began to smear it on Ningqiu’s body.
The girl’s smooth and white skin was covered with black and brown ointment.
Lin Mengya was very careful, without missing any place on the body.
By the time she finished, Baisu had poured all the hot water into the tub.
“Well, you can lie in the water. Baisu, is the charcoal ready?”
Fortunately, they were just three girls. Ningqiu soon got used to this feeling and lay down in the water under the guidance of Lin Mengya.
It was strange that the ointment did not fall off her after entering the water. On the contrary, she felt her skin had a strange warmness gradually.
Of course, she did not know that this was the prescription carefully made by Lin Mengya.
Having been covered by the ointment, her skin and pores had been completely opened, making it easier for the efficacy of herbs to permeate.
“Everything is ready, Miss. You can start at any time.”
Lin Mengya nodded. Then she looked at Ningqiu seriously and said in a calm voice.
“Let’s start. Please tolerate it.”
It was not easy to create a new chosen witch in a short time, so Lin Mengya had to be opportunistic.
She put the herbs into the water according to a certain proportion.
Either every time she put in a batch of herbs or when the efficacy of the first batch came into Ningqiu’s body, Lin Mengya would drip a drop of blood into the water.
The blood, which contained a demonic purple flowing light, was not only the target of these herbs to keep them but also be used to activate the medicinal efficacy.
Soon, Ning Qiu’s ruddy little face became pale. Large beads of sweat fell from her forehead. The ointment that covered every corner of her body was gradually absorbed.
“Oh… I didn’t expect it was so painful.”
At this point, Ningqiu was still in the mood to joke with them.
Lin Mengya frowned and checked the herbs in the water without stopping.
These herbs could only be used once. Every time adding herbs, she should put a drop of blood into the water.
As for the herbs that had been taken out, she would fill them into the trough. They would be burned, giving off their last efficacy.
The other parts of Lin Mengya’s body felt not bad because the blood of these parts didn’t touch the air.
However, the tiny wound on her finger made her suffer from the piercing pain.
Ever she could feel such a pain, not to mention Ningqiu absorbing the efficacy of herbs all over her body.
She must be suffering pain like tens of thousands of arrows piercing her heart.
“I’ll stay here and watch her. You can go and rest for a while.”
A tub of herbs would work for about eight hours.
Moreover, it could not be interrupted, so Lin Mengya and Baisu had to take turns on duty.
Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, Baisu shook her head.
“Master, I’m not tired. You’ve finished your work for Xiu and come back for this. Why don’t you take a rest first?”
Of course, Baisu was considerate of her. Lin Mengya knew about it.
Considering Baisu would have more important things to do, Lin Mengya ordered her to rest.
After the first night, she exchanged the herbs in the tub for the first time.
Ningqiu, who was in the tub, was in so much pain that she had fainted.
Lin Mengya wanted to give her some medicine to relieve the pain. However, she was afraid it would counteract the effect of the efficacy of herbs. She gave up on this idea.
Fortunately, Ningqiu was half-awake, so the pain she felt had reduced a lot.
Looking at Ning Qiu, who was almost unconscious, Lin Mengya turned around and went out of the room to get some fresh air in the yard.
The morning light was dim. Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and looked to the east.
Wherever she was, Dajin or here, the sun was always full of warmth and vitality.
The pain of the wound on her hand gradually reduced a lot after she went far away from those herbs.
Lin Mengya looked at the sun with a fascinated look. Only in the early morning did the sun hide its dazzling light.
Like the man she was worried about, he showed his tenderness only facing her.
But if one day, this warmth belonged to someone else, what would she do?
“What are you thinking about? You look like lost in mind.”
The deep and mellow voice behind her made Lin Mengya’s heart tremble.
Lin Mengya looked down, and there were traces of floundering in her eyes.
She gently patted off the man’s hands holding her. Then she walked away from him without leaving a trace.
“I’m just watching the sun. Are you leaving?”
She showed her back to him, guessing he must be leaving today.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rashly barged into the Fengyu Court during the day.
“Yes. Don’t you want me to leave?”
Her reaction was a little cold, but Long Tianyu did not have any scruples.
He had encountered a lot of problems. They exhausted too much of his energy.
He didn’t want to be seen through by her. Although he wanted to hug her, he did not do that.
“It doesn’t matter if I want or not. We’ll meet again, won’t we?”
The next time they met, they might not be both alive.
Lin Mengya tolerated the bitterness in her heart. She was used to the warmth in his arms. If she had to return to single, she didn’t know if she could get used to it.
“That’s right. We’ll meet again in the future. Ya’er, please take good care of yourself. Don’t let yourself get hurt when I’m not by your side.”
“Will I have to protect myself from getting hurt?” Lin Mengya wore a helpless smile on the corners of her mouth.
In the past, he had agreed to protect her in the future. But in the end, she still had to rely on herself, right?
“Well, I got it. You can go now. It’s not safe here.”
