Zhao Ling, a forensics investigator, lost her life in a fire explosion while inspecting a crime scene. Her soul was transmigrated into the body of an oppressed lady who also lost her life in another fire incident, at the same moment in time, leaving a deep scar on her face. With a new body, but a familiar name, this is the epic journey of a concubine, who has a second chance at life, and her dealings with an oppressed life, an arranged marriage, and the deadly mysteries of this new world? Welcome to The Concubine, an epic fantasy/historical romance novel.
The woman in green scanned the crowd with her coquettish eyes, and finally landed on Du Yu who was lying on the ground like a pool of stagnant water. She shook her head and said, "It's a pity, brother, this is our first successful experiment. Medicine man, right?"
The Xuanyi man cast a stern look at Du Yu, and said disgustingly: "It's really useless, what's the use of keeping him now. The fourth sister hasn't stopped him quickly enough."
The green-clothed woman hid her face and smiled, saying charmingly: "Since the third brother doesn't feel bad about it, the younger sister will do it."
After she finished speaking, with a slender hand, she took out a white jade flute from her arms and placed it across her mouth, and a beautiful sound came out of it.
Zhao Ling noticed that Du Yu's loose eyes refocused, and gradually returned to Qingming. Suddenly she thought of Leng Xiangning's appearance before her death and quickly shouted, "Hurry up and stop her."
But it was too late, and the blood in Du Yu's mouth had been pouring out continuously, and soon his head crooked and he died in anger.
"Yu'er!"
"Big Brother!"
Du Yuanwai and Du Yang hadn't recovered from Du Yu's attempt to assassinate Mr. Misty. They saw Du Yu suddenly vomiting blood and died. Unsure of what to do, they could only shake Du Yu's body vigorously, calling out his name.
"He's dead!" Some timid women screamed, and there was a commotion in the hall.
"Devil, return my sister's life!" A clear shout came from the air, and a white figure flew in from outside the door, rushing towards the lady in green.
It was Leng Ao Shuang! Immediately, she attacked the woman in green, but the lady in green was obviously not weak in her skill.
Zhao Ling didn't show any compassion towards the woman when she saw Leng Ao Shuang move sharply.
Fengze and Changdong also fought with the man, and the hall was filled with fighting sounds for a while.
The sound of clashes of weapons was also heard outside the door, and the battle seemed to be fierce. It seemed that the men and horses of Lu Ziqing ambushing outside were fighting with the men and horses of the Wuji Sect.
Lu Ziqing hesitated, seeing that there was no danger in the hall for the time being, so he ran outside to command.
Zhao Ling sighed secretly because the birthday banquet was unsatisfactory and brought to an abrupt end tonight. Also, she didn't know the identity of this man and woman in Wuji, but their strength is so good, especially the man. The moves were weird and fierce, and Fengze and Changdong did not fare well together at the slightest.
Suddenly hearing a "bang", Leng Aoshuang was hit by the palm of the lady in green, and fell heavily to the ground. After a short while, a trace of blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth.
Leng Aoshuang wouldn't be so weak, would he? Zhao Ling hurried forward, but saw that Xie Mingyu had already taken the lead. She helped Leng Aoshuang and asked anxiously: "Girl Aoshuang, are you okay?"
Leng Aoshuang pushed herself up and said to her too. "Be careful, the air is toxic."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. When did she released the poison and why did they not even notice it?
But just after Leng Aoshuang uttered the word "toxic", Fengze and Changdong, who were fighting with the man, also felt helpless. They were hit by him one after another and were defeated.
Immediately afterwards, everyone in the hall also felt dizzy and fatigued. For a while, screams, wailing, and crying were mixed together in a chaotic scene.
"I advise you to stay calm, don't try to use internal force anymore, or you will only die faster." Seeing Fengze and others unwilling to give in, still struggling, the man said in a gloomy tone.
"Isn't it weird, when was this poison released?" The woman in green chuckled at Zhao Ling, and pointed to Du Yu's body on the ground. That's fine."
Zhao Ling finally understood that the Wuji Teaching had already set a chess game for this day, and all the encounters they had encountered during this period of time had been step by step through the game they had set earlier in the morning. And Du Yu was the most critical piece in their chess game.
She glanced at Situ Gong. He was the only one who knew medical science here. Although she was also a student of medicine, she didn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, let alone this kind of weird poison.
Situ Gong was obviously not spared either. She stood on her desk and shook her head. He has been in medicine for many years, but he couldn't discern exactly what poison it was.
"Are you wondering what kind of poison is this?" The woman noticed the exchange between Zhao Ling and Situ Gong, and tilted her head slightly. "How about giving it a name?"
Which one of your eyes saw that I am so knowledgeable? Zhao Ling rolled her eyes secretly, and sneered. "The insidious tricks of Wuji teaching, these evil ways are really eye-opening. All kinds of insidiousness are all used to extremes, could it be that this is Wuji teaching? Is the origin of the name?"
"What a comprehension, Ling'er." Meng Yuan nodded in agreement, his eyes like torches and his face like frost.
"In front of the thoughtful King Xuan, if you don't need to make a trick, how can you get out of it all?" The girl in green smiled charmingly, turned her head and saw that Zhao Ling was also good, with an unexpected look on her face. "Weird, the cold poison in King Xuan's body can suppress the poison I inflict. It makes sense that he hasn't been poisoned, but why are you okay Concubine Xuan?"
Zhao Ling also felt strange. Why were all the people here poisoned, but she was the only one who didn't feel it? Was it because she had traveled through a dimensional soul portal or something?
