Chapter 183 It's Too Late to Call Me Here.

Thinking of that, two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks again.

After finishing the treatment, Uncle Liu told them something again, and then he came out of the room.

Uncle Liu was about to go back to the house when Mo Li caught up and called him.

Hearing that, Uncle Liu turned and asked, "Anything else?"

"Uncle Liu, there is also a maid who was poisoned with Her Highness." Then Mo Li gave another jar filled with awakening insects to Uncle Liu.

After taking over it, Uncle Liu frowned and asked, "Where is she?"

"Uncle Liu, this way." Mo Li realized that Uncle Liu agreed, and then he led the way for him.

Yun and Xiujuan heard that Mo Li would come back, so they had already stood at the door and waited.

"Xiujuan, won't they save Lan?" Yun then asked Xiujuan.

Xiujuan replied to Yun at this time, "Of course they would, Miss Qiao said that Her Highness and Lan will certainly be saved. They may be detoxifying Her Highness now."

"It's been so long. Why haven't we heard anything?" Yun said in a hurry again at this moment.

Although Xiujuan was very anxious, she still said first, "Wait a minute."

"No, I'm going to have a look." Yun was so worried that she headed for the yard.

Just out of two steps, she crashed into Mo Li.

"Ah..." Yun couldn't help shouting.

Then she covered her head and said, "Mr. Mo, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter. This is Uncle Liu, and he came here to detoxify Lan." Mo Li said to Yun and Xiujuan at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Xiujuan hurriedly opened the door.

Uncle Liu walked in at this moment. Yun and Xiujuan followed into the room.

Uncle Liu took out the awakening insects.

Yun then asked, "What're these?"

"Awakening insects. They are used to detoxify." Mo Li said to Yun at this moment.

Hearing that, Yun was surprised, "What? Insects can also be used to detoxify?"

"Exactly." Mo Li nodded and said.

Then Mo Li told Yun and Xiujuan how to use the awakening insects to detoxify.

When Mo Li finished speaking, Uncle Liu asked Yun and Xiujuan, "Which one of you can help me?"

"Xiujuan, I'll do it. Then I will become less self-blame." Yun said to Xiujuan at this moment.

Xiujuan nodded then.

Uncle Liu then took out the knife from the medicine cabinet.

Then he pushed Lan's sleeve up.

At this moment, Uncle Liu couldn't help but frown tightly, and then took Lan's pulse.

He couldn't help but say angrily, "She has been dead for so long. It's too late to call me here."

"Uncle Liu, what did you say? Lan is dead?" Mo Li asked Uncle Liu surprisedly at this moment.

Uncle Liu nodded, and then said to them, "It seems that she has been dead for a long time, and her body is already cold."

"What? It's Impossible. It's Impossible." Yun shook her head and said.

Then she walked forward, put her hand under Lan's nose tremblingly.

Indeed, as Uncle Liu said, Lan was dead.

At this time, Yun squatted on Lan and cried loudly. "Lan, why don't you stick to it? We are detoxifying you now."

"Yun, get up. Don't be like this." Xiujuan also said with tears at this moment.

"In the morning, I wiped her face and hands. She was alive at that time. How could she die?" Yun said, and began to cry loudly.

Then she shook Lan, cried and shouted, "Wake up. Wake up."

"Yun, don't be like this. Don't be like this. Lan is dead." Xiujuan said and pulled Yun. She also cried out.

Seeing that at this moment, Uncle Liu shook his head and was about to stand up and leave.

Suddenly he found that after Lan had just been moved by Yun, there was a drop of blood on her sleeping pillow.

Uncle Liu frowned and then went forward to check. He turned Lan's body over with her back up.

Yun, who was heartbroken, saw Uncle Liu doing so and couldn't help but shout at the back, "What are you going to do? Lan is already dead."

"Shut up." Uncle Liu didn't turn his head, and he shouted at Yun.

Yun was trying to pull Uncle Liu away when she was stopped by Mo Li. He then shook his head to Yun.

Xiujuan also pulled Yun at this moment.

Uncle Liu then pushed Lan's hair aside and checked carefully.

Yun stopped speaking at this moment. She just watched him carefully.

Uncle Liu then took out a piece of white cloth from the medicine cabinet and pressed it where he found something strange.

Then Uncle Liu took the white cloth away, only to see some dried blood marked on it.

Mo Li looked at it and asked Uncle Liu, "What is going on?"

"The girl didn't die from the poison of Sleeping Beauty. The cause of her death was the injury on her head." Uncle Liu said at this moment, and then covered the awakening insects and put them into a box.

Hearing that, Mo Li frowned and then asked, "The injury on her head?"

"Yes. Look at the tiny blood on this sleeping pillow. Presumably, this girl was stabbed into the die hole of her head with a silver needle, so she lost her life." Uncle Liu then said to Mo Li.

At this time, hearing that, Xiujuan looked scared. She said, "Uncle Liu, you mean that Lan was killed by someone?"

Uncle Liu nodded at this moment, and then went out with the medicine cabinet.

After Uncle Liu left, Mo Li looked at Yun and Xiujuan at this moment, only to see that they could not believe that Lan was dead.

At this time, Mo Li said, "Maybe the murderer knows that there is something that can detoxify the Sleeping Beauty. The murderer has been in contact with Lan, and he or she is afraid that after Lan wakes up, she will identify him, so the murderer kills her first."

"How could it be possible? We all saw Lan in the morning and scrubbed her body. Later, Yun and I were in the yard all day. Even if we did work, we didn't leave. We didn't find anyone coming in or out. Besides, it was still during the day. If there was any movement, we should know it." Xiujuan analyzed to Mi Li at this moment.

Hearing that, Mo Li could not help but frown. "So, the murderer should be a person in our house. He was afraid that Lan will wake up and identify him, so he killed Lan."

Then Mo Li quickly asked Yun and Xiujuan, "Think carefully. Who has been here?"

"No one." Xiujuan and Yun shook their heads and said at this moment.

Mo Li then continued to ask, "Think again. Did anyone in the yard come to you or enter the house?"

"No." Yun said first at this moment.

But Xiujuan was thinking about something.

Seeing that, Mo Li asked Xiujuan, "You've thought of it, right?"

"No, it couldn't be her. Maybe I am thinking too much." Xiujuan then shook her head and said.

Hearing that, Mo Li hurriedly asked, "Who? Why couldn't it be her? "

"Come on, Xiujuan. Tell us. Mr. Mo is just asking. Do you want Lan to die unreasonably like this?" Yun also asked in a hurry.

At this time, Xiujuan looked at Yun and said to her, "No, Yun. I don't think it could be her."

"Oh, Xiujuan. You should say it first!" Yun said in a hurry at this moment.

Xiujuan hesitated for a while, then asked Yun, "Do you remember that I told you this morning that Lan would be saved?"

"What's the matter? At that time, I asked you who said it, oh... you mean Miss Qiao?" Upon hearing that, Yun asked, and then suddenly realized.

Xiujuan nodded at this time. "Yes. I was just busy at that time. I came over and saw Miss Qiao just coming out of the room, but... I don't think Miss Qiao is such a person."

Xiujuan said indeterminately.

These days in Jiandu, Qiao Shu either stayed in the yard or went out to give medicines to people who had infected with the plague. Xiujuan thought that Qiao Shu was gentle with others. She thought that "gentle and cultivated" was the most appropriate expression to describe people like Qiao Shu, and it was hard to think of her as the murderer.

"Well, I see. Go find someone to bury Lan well." Mo Li said thoughtfully after hearing that, and then took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

After Mo Li left, Yun and Xiujuan put Lan in a good position and arranged her clothes neatly.

"Xiujuan, why do we liveso hard? Before Lan was dead, we had asked the magistrate's wife to return our contract. After His Lordship and Her Highness left, we could regain our freedom and live a simple life from now on. Unexpectedly, Lan was unexpectedly..." Yun said, holding Xiujuan and began to cry.

Xiujuan also hugged Yun at this time, and then two lines of tears left from her cheeks, but she said seemingly calmly, "This is Lan's life."

In Yang Zijin's room, Shuo Ling sat quietly watching Yang Zijin.

At this time, Shuo Ling could already feel the awakening insects swimming in his body.

He knew that the awakening insect was looking for the position of his heart, and sure enough, before long, he felt that his heart was like being punched by needles.

At this time, Mo Li walked into the room and saw Shuo Ling clutching his chest. He quickly walked forward. "Your Lordship, are you okay?"

"Nothing!" Shuo Ling then spoke out two words from his mouth hard.

Uncle Liu told him that this is a normal phenomenon. This awakening insect would eat every once in a while. It would not take long, but it would hurt very much.

And Uncle Liu added that because the awakening insects stayed in the body, the time it ate would increase and the pain would also increase.

Suddenly Yang Zijin's fingers moved. Seeing that, Shuo Ling couldn't help but hold her hand tightly. Presumably, the awakening insect in her body was also eating at this time.

Mo Li stayed aside for a while and decided to wait for the infanta to wake up before telling Shuo Ling about it, so he went out and closed the door.

At the same time, Zhan You and others have found their whereabouts, so they ambushed nearby, waiting for an opportunity to start their plan.

At this time, Qiao Shu, after she decided to give up Shuo Ling, shut herself in the house except having dinners.

After a day and a night, Yang Zijin finally woke up.

At this time, Yang Zijin slightly opened her eyes. She suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and her fingers couldn't help twitching.

Shuo Ling, who was sleeping in front of her, quickly opened his eyes, sat up straight, looked at Yang Zijin, and gently shouted, "Zijin, Zijin."
