On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 2057 Woman's Face

Su Jingzhuo held the cup tightly, with a hint of panic in his eyes. It was obvious that he was still frightened when he recalled the scene at that time.

His voice began to tremble: "I have never seen a monster like that, it is so big, with hard scales, four claws, and sharp spikes on each claw.

I was so scared that my legs went limp. I turned around and wanted to run, but the monster was so fast in the water that before I could swim two steps, it rushed over and grabbed me with one claw..."

He paused here and touched his wound with his hand.

"I felt a sharp pain, and then everything went black. I knew nothing. When I woke up, I was already in this yard."

The room fell silent. Su Shengsheng's eyes turned red again when he heard this: "Brother..."

Su Jingzhuo sighed and patted her hands.

Yan Ruyu asked, "Did you know that Miss Li treated you?"

Su Jingzhuo was stunned: "Ling Shi? She does know some medical skills. Where is she now?"

Su Shengsheng snorted lightly: "She is in her own yard, eating and drinking well every day, and no one treats her badly, so don't worry."

Su Jingzhuo smiled helplessly. Although he understood the situation at this moment, he did not have the energy to argue.

As long as the person is still around, there will always be a chance to meet again - besides, it’s better not to let Ling Shi see him in this state.

Yan Ruyu spoke at the right time: "Miss Su, Master Su just woke up, you should let him rest more, you still have a lot of time to talk later."

Su Shengsheng wiped his eyes: "Okay, okay, big brother, you take a rest first. Dad just went out. When he comes back, I will tell him the good news."

"Dad is also worried about you and comes to see you every day."

Su Jingzhuo's eyes warmed: "Is Dad okay?"

"He's fine. He's as strong as a tiger. Three or five people can't get close to him."

Su Shengsheng said a few more words, and Su Jingzhuo was indeed a little tired, so he lay down to rest.

Several people stepped out quietly, and Su Shengsheng bowed deeply to Yan Ruyu.

"Thank you, doctor, for saving my brother!"

Yan Ruyu helped her up: "No need to do this, Miss Su, you should stay in the mansion more often these days and come over to chat with Master Su more often."

"Okay, I will."

Su Shengsheng left.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other.

She told Su Shengsheng not to go anywhere else because she was worried that the situation outside the mansion would become chaotic and she might be in danger.

Huo Changhe spoke first, his voice low: "Just as we thought before, the sacrifice was to use the monster to search for things, and Su Jingzhuo was also injured by the monster."

Yan Ruyu nodded, her eyes filled with thought. "This isn't surprising. It's unexpected. The key is, Su Jingzhuo mentioned a woman's face. He said it wasn't a living person, so it must be a portrait."

Speaking of human portraits, Yan Ruyu naturally thought of the so-called statue of a god that she had discovered before, the face that was almost exactly like hers.

There is no answer as to why it was her face, and it is also a hidden worry in her heart.

There must be a reason behind this.

Huo Changhe patted her shoulder gently and whispered comfortingly: "It's okay. Once we catch them this time, we will definitely ask them thoroughly. I believe there will be results."

"Even if there isn't one, I'll have my secret guards investigate this matter."

Yan Ruyu smiled and held his hand. "I'm not too worried. Even if they have a statue of me, no matter what kind of sculpture or portrait it is, I'm here and it won't be affected."

Huo Changhe hugged her gently: "Yu'er, I'm sorry."

Yan Ruyu's heart softened: "Why are you apologizing, Your Majesty? It's not your fault."

"Of course not. It must be because of the palace and me that those villains targeted you."

Yan Ruyu gently put her arm around his waist and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? It's the fault of those evil people, not your Highness."

In fact, Yan Ruyu thought that it might not be related to the palace. She was not from this world. She was a soul occupying this body.

Many things may have been destined from the beginning. Her involvement with the Zhennan Palace and Huo Changhe may not be accidental.

Yan Ruyu suddenly felt a vague gaze on her. Just as she was about to turn her head to look, Huo Changhe whispered, "Don't move."

Obviously, he felt it too.

However, there was not much malice in that look, and it didn't last long before it left.

Noticing that the man had left, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe immediately followed. At the end of the corridor, they saw a figure, which was Miss Li.

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Is it her?"

Li Lingshi went to Su Jingzhuo's yard.

When they reached the gate, the maid was standing guard there. Seeing Li Lingshi coming, she quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Li, you can't go in."

Li Lingshi did not stop, his eyes fell on the maid, waiting for her to continue.

The maid was a little nervous when she looked at her, but she still said with a brave face: "It was the young lady's order. The young master just woke up and is still weak. She said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the yard to disturb him."

"Outsider?" Li Lingshi repeated these two words, his tone flat and his emotions unrecognizable.

She didn't say anything more to the maid, but raised her hand and took out a token from her waist - it was made of black iron, with fine cloud patterns engraved on the edge, and the Su family crest on the front, and it was cold to the touch.

The maid's eyes widened immediately. She had worked in the Su Mansion for many years and naturally recognized the token.

When Su Zhenhai handed the token to Li Lingshi, many people in the mansion saw it and said that whoever held the token could move freely in the Su mansion and even enter the master's courtyard at will.

She moved her lips, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back. Finally, she stepped aside and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Miss Li, you...you can go in. Just don't disturb the young master."

Li Lingshi didn't respond to her, but walked straight into the yard and pushed open the bedroom door.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of breathing falling gently in the air.

Su Jingzhuo was lying on the bed, covered with a light green brocade quilt. His complexion looked much better than the last time he saw him. When he was unconscious before, his face was as yellow as paper, but his eyes were a little pink, and even his brows were relaxed, no longer frowning like before.

His breathing was steady, his chest rising and falling slowly with his breathing, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.

Li Lingshi stood three feet away from the bed, watching quietly.

She looked for a long time, her gaze moving from Su Jingzhuo's eyebrows to his jaw, without warmth or emotion, neither worry nor joy, as if she was looking at something that had nothing to do with her.

After a while, she slowly took one step forward, then another, and walked to the bed.

She slowly raised her hand and stretched her fingertips toward Su Jingzhuo's neck. Her movements were so slow that one could almost see the arc of her knuckles.

"Stop! What are you doing!?"

A sudden shout came from the door, breaking the silence in the room.

Li Lingshi's hand stopped in mid-air. He didn't look back or retract his hand, but just stopped moving.

Su Shengsheng walked in quickly from outside, her skirt swaying with her steps. She walked straight to the bed and put her hand between Li Lingshi and Su Jingzhuo.

His eyes fell on Li Lingshi with hostility: "Li Lingshi, what do you want to do to my elder brother?"
