Time travel is risky, and love requires caution

The witch doctor turned around and searched in a wooden box for a long time. When he came back, he threw a medicine bottle to Du Jingshan and said to him:

"Apply this powder on the letter paper. Anyone who touches the letter paper will have the powder on their hands. The powder will enter the blood through the skin, and the body will emit a special smell that will last for months. People cannot smell it, but there is a kind of insect in this mountain that is extremely sensitive to this smell. Then you can use the insect to know who has read the letter."

Du Jingshan was a little worried and asked:

"Can this medicine kill people?"

"I call this medicine Dog's Nose. It is specially used to find people. It is made from pollen and does not hurt people. It is also colorless and odorless, so it is not easy to be found."

"I wonder if that insect is easy to get?"

"There are many of them in this mountain. They are easy to catch but difficult to raise. When you need them, you can use the remaining powder in this bottle to attract them."

"I would like to thank the witch doctor in advance."

Du Jingshan no longer hesitated and quickly applied the medicine powder carefully on the letter paper, then sealed it and handed it to Pei Chufeng.

Pei Chufeng did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to the two of them and hurried down the mountain.

After Pei Chufeng left, Du Jingshan went to the backyard to weed and plow the soil in the small vegetable garden, and before dark, he planted all the rapeseed seedlings that Pei Chufeng brought.

A few days later, Pei Chufeng came again with bags and two hens, and some precious medicinal herbs. After putting down his things, Pei Chufeng couldn't wait to tell Du Jingshan about Liu's recent situation.

The letter had been delivered to Liu a few days ago, and after that, someone contacted Liu. Pei Chufeng had sent someone to track the whereabouts of the contact person, and the current news was that he went to Beiwei. Pei Chufeng also sent someone to monitor Liu's every move to prevent her from escaping or being silenced.

At present, everything is still within their expectations and control. Now they just have to wait patiently for the person behind the scenes to show up.

The other thing was to patiently wait for the Seventh Princess to slowly get better. The witch doctor had no idea what strange grass juice and powder he had fed her these past few days. The Seventh Princess was able to excrete normally and was sweating all over. Not only had some of the old toxins been expelled, her stomach and intestines had recovered, and it was easier for her to eat and drink than before. Her pulse was much more stable than before, and Du Jingshan was more confident.

Pei Chufeng was relieved when he saw that the Seventh Princess, whom he had not seen for a few days, was still unconscious but her complexion had become much rosier.

A few days later, the witch doctor gave the Seventh Princess an antidote for another poison. Three days after taking the antidote, the Seventh Princess opened her eyes after a long absence. Du Jingshan was very excited and couldn't stop crying.

After Ling Qiqi's eyes were able to focus, she saw Du Jingshan, who looked a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips slightly and smiled faintly, trying to reassure Du Jingshan, but Du Jingshan's tears flowed even more violently.

Although Ling Qiqi woke up, she had no strength at all, and couldn't even turn over. She was still bedridden and depended on others for care. In addition, her mouth and throat were covered with ulcers, which had not yet healed, and she couldn't speak normally. So she relied entirely on her eyes to express her emotions.

Ever since Ling Qiqi woke up, Du Jingshan has become a chatterbox and is visibly excited. He works even harder, but he is a little clingy and doesn't want the Seventh Princess to leave his sight. So when the sun is at its best during the day, he often carries Ling Qiqi to the lounge chair outside the house to bask in the sun, while he is busy in the yard and would look over at the Seventh Princess from time to time.

Ling Qiqi was so thin that she was just a bag of bones. It was effortless to hold her in his arms, so Du Jingshan felt very distressed every time he held her. He was more careful with his hands, as if he was afraid of breaking Ling Qiqi. Ling Qiqi felt from Du Jingshan's embrace that although he was a little thin, his chest muscles were very hard and full of male hormones.

Ling Qiqi still couldn't eat normally and could only eat liquid food. In order to fatten up the Seventh Princess, Du Jingshan often went hunting nearby while she was asleep, sometimes pheasants, sometimes hares, and later he made a net by the stream, sometimes he could catch a few fish. Du Jingshan would make soup for the Seventh Princess with the prey he caught, and give all the meat to the witch doctor.

Although Ling Qiqi could not communicate with the witch doctor, she was very grateful that he treated her and changed her clothes every day. At first, Ling Qiqi was ashamed that she could only defecate and urinate in bed, but when she thought about how she had been like this during the days she was unconscious, she gave up and became more shameless.

Ling Qiqi guessed that the witch doctor had some connection with her mother, Concubine Chen, from the fact that the witch doctor's eyes looked similar to hers. In addition, Pei Chufeng once said that the jade pendant he gave her before came from the witch doctor, so Ling Qiqi was more certain of her judgment.

Although she was curious, she was not in a hurry to find out about the witch doctor and her mother. She would have time to find out when she felt better.

In comparison, she was more worried about Liu.

When Ling Qiqi had recovered some strength, she motioned Du Jingshan to extend his hand to her. She leaned in Du Jingshan's arms and tremblingly wrote the word "Liu" on his palm.

Du Jingshan naturally understood that she was asking about Liu, so he told Ling Qiqi how he and Pei Chufeng had recently monitored Liu and tracked the contact person. He told Ling Qiqi not to worry, and when the person behind the scenes was caught, Liu would not be let off easily.

Unexpectedly, Ling Qiqi shook her head after listening to him, and wrote the word "斜" (threatening) on ​​his palm.

Du Jingshan pondered for a moment and asked:

"Are you saying that Liu was coerced? It is possible, and it is very likely. After all, Liu has taken care of you since you were born, and she has plenty of opportunities to harm you. Now that she suddenly does this, there must be something wrong. It can't be for some small profit."

Ling Qiqi nodded and wrote the word "family".

Du Jingshan asked:

"Are you saying that someone is using Liu's family to threaten her?"

Ling Qiqi nodded again, and then wrote the word "save".

"You want to save Liu's family?"

Ling Qiqi still nodded, but this time her eyes were full of determination.

Du Jingshan hesitated for a moment and said:

"If you insist, wait for the Third Prince to come and ask him to help send someone to rescue them. It is more important for you to recover well."

Ling Qiqi frowned and pouted, pretending to be angry, and wrote: "Urgent."

Du Jingshan looked at her cute appearance and said with a smile:

"There's no rush. I can't go up or down the mountain at will. I can only wait for the third prince to come. But you've been poisoned for such a long time. If something should have happened to Liu's family, it would have happened long ago. It's too late to rescue them now. If you're really anxious, get better soon and we can go down the mountain together."

After saying that, he reached out and took a large bowl of bitter medicine soup that was placed aside to the perfect temperature.

Ling Qiqi had a look of disgust on her face. She frowned, held her breath, and drank the wine in big gulps from Du Jingshan's hand.
