Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 410

Because the reeds are so dense, the snow doesn't fall to the ground. The ground is covered with damp, withered branches and leaves, and you can hardly see any footprints when you step on it.

The surrounding reeds were deathly silent, with only the soft rustling of the reeds swaying, as if no one had ever been there.

The guards panicked and searched everywhere in the reeds, but found nothing. Shen Lingjun and Hong Qing were nowhere to be found!

Using his light-footed skills, he leaped and flew over many places, but still found nothing.

This is a flat area with no trees growing except for reeds. Even with light-footed skills, one cannot reach a very high position to overlook the area below.

The guards immediately set off a signal firework to gather the other guards from the Yongning Marquis's residence in the distance, but none of them saw Shen Lingjun and Hong Qing.

The guards knew this was a serious matter. In broad daylight, Shen Lingjun and Hong Qing couldn't have disappeared without a trace; they had most likely been captured!

He was arrested right under his nose; the supervisor will probably skin him alive!

The guards were also terrified. They were all soldiers sent by the Shen family to serve the Yongning Marquis's residence. With the lady missing, how were they going to explain this to Marshal Shen and Madam Wen?

After discussing it, the group sent a guard back to the city to inform the Shen and Mo families, while the others continued searching for Shen Lingjun and Hong Qing.

......

When Shen Lingjun opened her eyes, she saw a dark ceiling with the faint glow of candlelight.

She was stunned for a while before her mind gradually returned, and she remembered what had happened...

She heard Hong Qing return and report that Shen Lingxia had an accident. She led people to search outside the city, but in a reed marsh, she suddenly lost consciousness and knew nothing more...

Shen Lingjun was startled and sat up abruptly.

She was in a very simple room, with stone walls, no windows, and only a small vent; it was probably a basement.

She was sitting on a bed, with a table and a chair opposite her, and a dim lamp on the table. There was nothing else there.

Where is this? Who brought her here?

Just then, the only door in the basement creaked open, and a person walked in.

Shen Lingjun was surprised when she saw the other person.

Talisman Master's Banquet!

That night at the Yongning Marquis's residence, after Fu Shiyan escaped, Mo Zhonggui sent people to hunt him down, but they never found any trace of him.

He was poisoned by the incurable Feather Poison, yet he hasn't died after all this time?

Shen Lingjun subconsciously took a step back.

She and Mo Zhonggui can be considered to be on the same side, which means that she is an enemy of Fu Shiyan.

Fu Shiyan had previously sent assassins to kidnap her and use her as a hostage to threaten Mo Zhonggui, almost costing her an arm. She didn't think Fu Shiyan had anything good to offer by kidnapping her this time.

Fu Shiyan carried a lamp in his hand. He came in, closed the door, and placed the lamp on the table, instantly brightening the room.

Shen Lingjun then realized that his condition was obviously not good; his face was pale, his eyes were faintly bluish, and a layer of dark aura shrouded his brows.

These are precisely the symptoms of being poisoned by feather poison.

It seems he was indeed poisoned and unable to find an antidote. However, top-tier masters can often suppress the poison with their profound internal energy, so even if they are poisoned, they may not necessarily die quickly.

Fu Shiyan was able to suppress Yu Chendu for so many days, which shows how profound his martial arts are. But this can't go on forever, so he captured her.

As Shen Lingjun scrutinized Fu Shiyan, Fu Shiyan was also gazing intently at her.

But his eyes were completely different from hers; they seemed to be churning with countless emotions, deep and intense, dark and fiery.

Shen Lingjun had too much information to process at once. After calming down, she suddenly remembered and asked urgently, "Where is my maid, Hongqing?"

Red Dragonfly came to report that Shen Lingxia was in trouble, but instead led her to the wilderness, where she fell into a trap set by Fu Shi Yan.

Then this Red Dragonfly is most likely a fake! It's another assassin sent by Fu Shi Yan in disguise!

With the capabilities of the "Naihe" assassin organization, disguising himself as a maid is a piece of cake.

It was also her fault for being too anxious at the time. When she heard that Shen Lingxia might be in mortal danger, she became so concerned that she didn't observe the red dragonfly carefully and didn't find any flaws in her.

Where is the real red dragonfly now?

Could it be that Fu Shiyan sent people to take care of him?

Fu Shiyan said calmly, "Don't worry, I asked you to come and help me, so naturally I won't kill your maid right away. She's fine."

Shen Lingjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She still stared warily at Fu Shiyan: "What do you want me to help you with?"

Fu Shiyan did not answer directly, but looked at her and slowly spoke.

"Thirteen years ago, on the snowy plains outside Lizhou City, you saved me and cured me of the Feather Poison."

His voice carried a distant and lingering quality, as if he were recalling a distant yet vividly remembered past.

Shen Lingjun was now completely certain that the unfinished sentence he had asked her at the Talisman Master Banquet, when he asked if she remembered it, must have referred to this matter.

She hesitated for a long time, unsure of how to answer, and finally cautiously said, "I remember you."

Fu Shiyan's eyes immediately lit up with joy, as if his eyes had been suddenly illuminated.

But his expression remained calm.

"Madam Shen, the reason I invited you here today is that I hope you can cure me of the Feather Poison again. There are very few people in the martial arts world who can cure the Feather Poison these days, and this new Feather Poison is even more potent. You must have made it for Mo Chonggui, right?"
