The psychic Xi ​​Lan

Chapter 18
Long Xilan drank a few sips of water and wanted to get out of the water, but the strength was so strong that it held her tightly, no matter how strong her desire to survive was, there was no life at all.

I still remember that when she was only six years old, the neighboring village was haunted by ghosts, and the villagers begged her father to exorcise the ghosts. In order to find the reason for the evil ghosts, Father Long put her alone as a child in the deserted haunted house. , Thunder and lightning at night, from the cracks in the broken tiles above her head, white light shone in her eyes.

What is fear?How would a six-year-old know?She could only look at those creatures not in this world without moving, and even forgot to cry. Only she knew how she saved her life from that evil ghost, and afterward, Father Long only told her Said: "Long family, don't be afraid!"

Ever since she was a child, she has never even worn a colorful dress for her daughter, which shows how strict Father Long taught her!
But she has never complained about her father, she understands what the Long family is facing, afraid?There is only death!So, whenever she was afraid, she told herself, be afraid or die!

But now, when her consciousness tells her that she will die even if she is not afraid, she is still afraid!

What she was afraid of was not how ruthless her murderer was, but how she would face that dark world after death!

Outside the small courtyard, Li Huai had already changed into black uniform, and walked in accompanied by Liu Jin.

The Wang's army guarded the entrance of the courtyard tightly, and in the small courtyard, only Chen Niang and four capable maidservants were allowed to come in and out freely in order to allow the princess to live in the small courtyard. At this moment, he saw Chen Niang and others waiting outside , frowning slightly.

"Ms. Chen, is Miss Ji asleep?" It had been an hour since he came back, and before going to bed, Ann thought of the anecdote in the market, and felt a little worried, so she came to look again.

Chen Niang replied: "Miss Ji is taking a bath."

Li Huai nodded, without thinking too much, just about to turn around and leave, but asked one more question.

"Is she alone in there? How long?"

Chen Niang replied truthfully: "It's almost half an hour!"

As soon as Li Huai's face changed, he turned around and pushed open the door. Chen Niang also expected when it must have happened, and followed in a panic.

Then I saw that there was no one in the bathtub!

Chen Niang rolled her eyes in fright, and immediately passed out. Fortunately, the two servant girls who followed her supported her body in time.

Li Huai strode up to the bathtub, saw the black hair floating inside, and realized that the person hadn't disappeared, but was in the water. He reached into the water with his big hand, grabbed Long Xilan's arm, and pulled her out.

At this time, how could she still be conscious, her face soaked in water was no different from that of a dead person.

Li Huai picked her up, hugged her wet body with the quilt, and put her on the bed. He used a few tricks to rescue drowning patients with the Imperial Physician in the palace, and it came in handy at this time.

She thought she couldn't be rescued, but she didn't want to. She squeezed out the saliva that was blocking her throat, and her breath came back all of a sudden, but she didn't wake up.

"Quickly call Xue Pingan over here!"

Xue Pingan was originally an imperial doctor with superb medical skills in the palace. In the early years in the palace, because of a miscarriage of a young master, he was about to be sent to death row. Li Huai cherished his talent and protected him from the emperor. After that, Xue Pingan Ping An was loyal to him and was on duty in the palace.

Originally, he shouldn't be in this other courtyard tonight, but Li Huai was worried that something might happen, so he called him over early to wait.

Xue Ping'an will arrive in a short while, dressed in a simple and elegant attire, young in age, with light eyebrows, although he is not a heroic person, he also has a profound taste of elegance. He is accompanied by a medicine boy carrying a medicine box, and the medicine boy is standing outside Waiting, only Xue Pingan followed King Xu into the inner room, and took Long Xilan's pulse through the veil. In order to see carefully, he even checked his complexion and eyes with the permission of King Xu.

After the incident, layers of doubt appeared on Xue Ping'an's plain face.

Seeing this, Li Huai, who was sitting on the carved chair opposite, asked softly, "How is it?"

"Miss Ji's pulse is calm, and her life should not be in danger!"

Li Huai sat without moving, and asked again: "Since there is no danger of life, why did you stay awake for so long?"

This is exactly what Xue Pingan didn't understand. He had already given acupuncture to Long Xilan. It stands to reason that he should wake up after the injection, but it didn't work. He has been practicing medicine for several years, and he has never encountered such a situation.

"My lord, are you sure Miss Ji is suffocated by water?"

Li Huai nodded, not sure why, he fished the person out of the water himself.

Xue Ping lowered his head in a little panic and said, "Forgive me, my lord. When Ping An checked the young lady's complexion just now, it seemed that there was a difference in the color of her neck."

Li Huai was only focused on saving people just now, but he didn't pay attention to that much. Hearing what Xue Pingan said, he immediately stood up, walked to the side of the bed, and took a closer look at Long Xilan's neck. It was indeed different from other skin colors, and the thinner it was Look, the more I realized that it was the shape of a pair of hands pinching her neck!
