The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 618 Linghu Wen Treats Si Ning

Si Ning was furious when he heard this, and wanted to slap the man several times. However, at this moment, the little maid who was on night watch discovered that the empress was missing and shouted in panic. The whole palace was suddenly brightly lit, and the guards went out to search for the whereabouts of the empress.

Leng Gufei frowned and said to himself, "I just kidnapped a maid, how could they find out so quickly?"

Si Ning suppressed her smile and said slowly: "I am not an ordinary maid. To tell you the truth, I am the female official who is close to the empress."

Leng Gufei heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "I see, so they are saving you? In that case, you can leave on your own."

Si Ning put his hands on his hips, glared at Leng Gufei, and said disdainfully: "What do you mean by this? Do you still want to drive me away like last time? I'm telling you, without me, you can't even think of leaving this palace!"

Leng Gufei clenched his fists, glared at Si Ning, and finally compromised, "Then you lead the way."

Under the cover of night, Si Ning and Leng Gufei quietly left the majestic figure of the imperial city and escaped into a deep grove. The moonlight was as bright as a silver thread, but it could not hide the invasion of the cold dew of late autumn.

Si Ning was wearing thin clothes, which were blown by the night wind. She was trembling slightly and murmured softly, "It's really cold in the forest at night. It's a pity that we can't light a fire to keep warm, so as not to disturb the pursuers."

Before he finished speaking, Leng Gufei's hand had already covered Si Ning's wrist with warmth and firmness, and he frowned as he carefully checked her pulse. "Strange, your pulse is so different, not like that of an ordinary person, but what's wrong with your body?" His voice was filled with concern and confusion.

Si Ning smiled bitterly in her heart. Today was March 15th, a special and taboo day for her. In the past, she had traveled between different planes, but on this day, she could not escape the shackles of fate - poison. The poison was not only a physical erosion, but also a curse on the soul. Year after year, no matter where she was, she could not escape. In her recent busyness, she actually forgot to take the antidote, and now she felt cold to the bone.

She reluctantly shook her head and responded in a weak voice: "I...it's fine." However, Leng Gufei was not comforted by her words. His eyes revealed unquestionable determination. He decided to use his own cultivation to forcibly infuse his true energy into Si Ning's body in order to dispel the cold poison for her.

Si Ning felt the warmth, but she also knew the consequences. She pushed Leng Gufei away with all her strength and said anxiously, "You don't have to take such a risk. If we attract soldiers, we will both be doomed. It is urgent for you to preserve your strength."

But how could Leng Gufei's determination be easily shaken? He whispered, "Don't move, trust me."

Si Ning wanted to say something else, but he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when Si Ning opened her eyes again, an inexplicable warmth was slowly flowing through her body, and she could faintly hear a human voice in her ears.

A gentle female voice asked with some worry, "Young Master, she doesn't look good. Can she survive this?"

Then, a deep and magnetic male voice sounded: "She was indeed poisoned, and this poison is no trivial matter. It actually carries the aura of the demon world. How could a mortal be invaded by a demon poison? What's even more bizarre is that there is a powerful force hidden in her body that even I can't grasp. However, her life is safe for now." It turned out that the one who saved Si Ning was the young master of the Demon Cult, Linghu Wen.

A playful smile appeared on his lips, as if he was watching a wonderful play. "This woman is really impressive. As a human, she can move freely between the court and the world of immortal cultivation. Her dual identity is mysterious. And the mystery of the demon poison makes people think a lot. Why would the demons embarrass a mere mortal? Is there some unknown secret behind it? Since she took the initiative to come to me, I will study her carefully."

The maid beside him seemed to understand something after hearing this, but she didn't dare to ask more questions. She turned to another matter: "Young Master, about Leng Gufei..."

Linghu Wen interrupted her and snorted coldly: "Do you think I can't see Leng Gufei's little trick? He just wants to use my hand to save her life. I want to see what charm this woman has that can make so many men worry about her."

Si Ning woke up again and found herself lying on a bed. The room was empty except for Leng Gufei standing by the window. She noticed that Leng Gufei's figure was a little strange, and he seemed taller than usual. She looked at him in confusion, and suddenly, Leng Gufei turned around, revealing a stunning face.

Si Ning was so surprised that she could hardly speak. She had never seen such a beautiful person. She secretly marveled in her heart that this man had such a charming appearance.

At this time, Si Ning realized that the poison in her body had completely disappeared. She knew that this poison would only attack on certain days, and she would be as healthy as a normal person at other times.

Si Ning sat up slowly and said softly, "When I was unconscious, I vaguely heard that it was the young master who helped me. My name is Ru Meng, and I am really grateful. I hope the young master can teach me my name so that I can repay you for saving my life in the future."

Si Ning was about to ask the young master's name when a maidservant next to her glared at her fiercely and said unceremoniously, "How dare you! How dare you call our young master by his name casually!"

Si Ning was immediately filled with anger. She was the empress of the Si Dynasty, but she was treated like this by a little maid. It was simply unreasonable. She suppressed her anger and responded coldly: "Everyone has a name, why make such a fuss? Don't you dare to show your name to others?"

"How can you be so arrogant, woman? Be careful or I'll pull out your tongue!" Upon hearing this, the little maidservant immediately put her hands on her hips and responded loudly in dissatisfaction.

At this moment, the man next to him who was called the Young Master suddenly shouted, "Shut up! Did I ask you to speak?"

The little maid had never expected that the young master would scold her. She widened her eyes and was shocked. She pouted as if she had been greatly wronged. She instantly became like a wilted cabbage. She lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong."

"That's right. You are so bold in front of your boss. It seems like you don't want to live anymore. Humph... your boss hasn't said anything, and you, a maid, dare to say irresponsible things. It's outrageous!" Si Ning looked at the little maid with disdain and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

The little maidservant stood aside and could only stare blankly, not daring to say a word.

At this time, the man who had been silent all this time finally spoke slowly: "Remember, my name is Linghu Wen."

Si Ning opened his mouth in surprise and muttered to himself, "Are you Linghu Wen, the young master of the demon world?"

Linghu Wen's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. He looked at Si Ning in front of him with a hint of indifference and ridicule in his eyes. He said softly: "Oh, I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, actually knew about the demon world."

Si Ning spoke slowly: "It's like this, I have read some books in the palace, and I also know about the books about the world of immortal cultivation, the so-called six realms, so I have heard about the demon world, and I also know that the young master of the demon world is called Linghu Wen."
