The northwest hinterland has always been abundant in sunshine, even in the chilly winter of Seso, the sun still shines down warmly on people. However, this clear and sunny day did not bring any warmth to Liu Daiyu, instead, she felt a chill in her bones. Her brows furrowed, as if a fog was lingering between them.
A few days ago, news came from Qin Xiang House - Sleeping Beauty is at Black Cloud Manor. Black Cloud Manor is the ancestral property of the Jiang family, rented out to tenants for agricultural work, and the rent is collected at the end of the year. The main income of the Jiang family comes from mining and border trade, so estates like Black Cloud Manor are only used to store grain for the family's private warehouse. Liu Daiyu wouldn't believe that anyone could do business in Jiang's territory without the approval of Jiang Duming, and pillar certainly wouldn't have the courage to do so. If that's the case, the person behind the deal is most likely Jiang Duming. But why? Liu Daiyu really couldn't understand. As the city lord, if Jiang Duming wanted to make money, he could do business openly, so why engage in such shady dealings? Does the Jiang family have some unspeakable secret? Or is Jiang Duming really planning something? Liu Daiyu only hopes that the person sent to Black Cloud Manor can bring back useful information quickly, as she has a feeling that something has gone wrong. However, it's not just Liu Daiyu who has made a misstep.
Ming Water City The Rain prayer ceremony that takes place every five years is approaching, and Jiang Duming is extremely busy. In the northwest desert, the spring rain prayer is of utmost importance, but holding it every year would be too burdensome on the people and finances. Therefore, it has been decided to hold it once every five years. This is the first time Jiang Duming has organized such a large-scale ceremony since taking over as city lord. Not only will all the people in the city gather, but there will also be visitors from all over coming to pay their respects, making it an excellent opportunity to make a grand impression, so there is no room for error. For this reason, Jiang Duming has mobilized all his capable subordinates to invest in various preparations, including those who were originally sent to secretly follow Liu Daiyu. It was this decision that led the people of Qin Xiang House to extract information from a lecherous man, and subsequently, they traced it back to Black Cloud Manor.
The God of the rain Hall, where the Rain prayer ceremony will be held, is only twenty miles away from Black Cloud Manor. If they don't make good use of this opportunity, it would be a waste of the "money bags" that have come to them. After much consideration, Jiang Duming issued two secret orders: first, to suspend the business of The romantic history of a wretched sea. and to have people take good care of the beauty to ensure they can withstand the upcoming turmoil; and then, he had pillar recruit a group of temporary servants to serve the guests during the ceremony. Seizing this opportunity, the people of Qin Xiang House successfully entered Black Cloud Manor. However, the guards in the manor were carefully selected and trained by Jiang Duming, so it would not be easy to uncover any clues.
There is still a decade left until the Rain prayer ceremony, and many guests have already settled in Ming Water City. According to the usual rules of The romantic history of a wretched sea, guests must settle their bills before seeking immortality. Yes, they call this kind of thing seeking immortality. On the agreed day, carriages will arrive at the door to pick up the guests. They must be blindfolded until they reach the room at The romantic history of a wretched sea, where they can finally remove the blindfold and find a fragrant couch and a beautiful woman waiting for them.
[The sound of water slowly pouring]
Servant: "Here is a medicine, take it and consume it." (hands it over)
Sleeping Beauty: (doesn't take it or say anything, checks the bottle and stares at the other person)
Servant: "This is a concentrated extract made from the feather fan."
Sleeping Beauty: "Is it poisonous?"
Servant: "Not poisonous."
Sleeping Beauty: "Then why..."
Servant: "People only know that Sleeping Beauty is a rare love potion, but few know that it is also a poison. When Sleeping Beauty meets the feather fan, it becomes a rare venom."
Sleeping Beauty: "Venom?"
Servant: "Yes, venom. Soon it will be the Rain prayer ceremony, and then it will be a good time to act."
Sleeping Beauty (pauses): "Will I... die?"
Servant: "What? Are you afraid of death?"
Sleeping Beauty (self-mockingly): "With my current appearance, isn't it more terrifying than death? But... you haven't said everything."
Servant: "Rest assured, I promised to help you escape, and I won't go back on my word. I'm still waiting for you to help me take Jiang Duming's life. But it's not the right time yet. When the time is right, I will tell you everything. For now, do what you need to do."
The servant put down the medicine bottle, the crisp sound not only echoed on the table, but also in the heart. Sleeping Beauty picked up the medicine bottle and looked at it for a long time. Slowly, she raised her hand and opened the bottle cap. A sweet scent instantly wafted out, and under the light, she could see a few shining spots. For the living to entrust, for the dead to return. If one could be reborn from death, it wouldn't be in vain to walk to the gates of the underworld.
Sleeping Beauty She looked up and was suddenly bathed in a beam of light, making her face appear even paler than usual. She drank it all in one gulp, then suddenly straightened up, staring hard at her reflection in the bronze mirror. A hint of crimson liquid, too late to swallow, oozed from the corner of her mouth. Poison as a cure for thirst!
The chilling laughter from inside the house sent shivers down the spines of the guards patrolling the courtyard.
Guard 1: "Is this beauty crazy?"
Guard 2: "Even if she's crazy, she still has to work. Besides, crazy beautiful women might be even more fun to play with! Hahaha!"
Guard 1: "Haha! Yes, yes, yes! You're right!"
