Chapter 2047: Sleepless Night
Chapter 2047: Sleepless Night
"Oh, you think we are too weak..." Wan Shufang snorted coldly. After making sure that there was no one outside, she dressed Chen Changli, called An Yi, and moved Chen Changli to the bed.
"An Yi, go guard outside and don't let anyone get close."
"Yes, ma'am."
Looking at An Yi's leaving figure, Wan Shufang's eyes were dim. She pursed her lips and finally took out the silver needle from the space. The old county magistrate had already confirmed that Chen Changli had taken Chinese medicine, so he should not come back.
She could then focus on helping Chen Changli remove the effects of the medicine.
Thinking of this, Wan Shufang put the silver needle aside, reached out to pry open Chen Changli's mouth, and checked his eyes. After a careful examination, Wan Shufang finally reached a conclusion.
She was not mistaken. What Chen Changli was injected with was not an ordinary aphrodisiac, but a drug mixed with the ingredients of Black Water Pill.
"If I had known this would happen, I would never have let you go today. The county magistrate is still on guard against us and will definitely not force us." She shook her head, especially thinking about the fact that she had gained nothing today, she was even more upset: "Niu Jinzhi actually went there for a secret meeting. She is really useless."
But this was not the time to complain. No matter how annoyed Wan Shufang was, she did not dwell on it. She helped Chen Changli up, sat him on the edge of the bed, took off his clothes, and gave him acupuncture to detoxify him.
Silver needles were inserted all over Chen Changli's naked and muscular body. Black liquid dripped down the silver needles, and Chen Changli also spat out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth.
"Cough cough..." He started coughing, and Wan Shufang quickly fed him a pill.
After removing the silver needles one by one, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, all the toxins have been forced out."
At this moment, Wan Shufang only felt that her vision was a little blurry, and the sound of a rooster crowing came to her ears. She looked outside and found that there was already some light outside.
"An entire night has already passed." She took a deep breath. Giving Chen Changli acupuncture to detoxify had consumed a lot of her energy. Adding on the fact that she had not slept all night, Wan Shufang only felt deeply exhausted at this moment.
"An Yi." Wan Shufang called out tiredly, her voice as soft as a mosquito, but fortunately An Yi had excellent hearing and he immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
"Send a few secret guards to keep an eye on the county magistrate. Report his every move to me. Chen Changli cannot leave someone here for the time being. I have to keep an eye on him."
Hearing this, An Yi glanced at Chen Changli worriedly, then quickly retracted his gaze and bowed and left: "Yes, ma'am, I'll arrange it right away."
After the others left, although Wan Shufang was tired, she did not dare to rest. She could only continue to stay with Chen Changli and check his pulse from time to time.
Only after making sure that Chen Changli was okay did she dare to lean against the edge of the bed and sleep for a while.
It was not until noon when the sun shone into the room that Chen Changli slowly opened his eyes. Looking at Wan Shufang sleeping beside him, his heart softened.
Worry also appeared in his eyes. He didn't know why Wan Shufang was sleeping here. He reached out and gently stroked her cheek: "Shufang, Shufang, wake up."
"Why don't you go to bed?"
"Hmm..." Wan Shufang was woken up by him. She rubbed her eyes in a daze. Seeing Chen Changli wake up, her pupils dilated and she hurriedly felt his pulse: "It's okay, the remaining poison has been cleared, it's okay."
"What residual poison?"
Chen Changli's eyes were full of confusion. He had no memory of what happened last night. Even if he tried hard to think about it, he couldn't think of anything. Instead, he felt a splitting headache.
Seeing the confusion on his face, Wan Shufang understood and pursed her lips and said, "You were drunk when you came back yesterday. I thought it was just a normal drunkenness, but I found out that you were in the condition after taking the Black Water Pill."
"It must be the county magistrate. In order to get away with it, he deliberately tricked you into taking it. He wanted you to get addicted and become like him."
Wan Shufang's face was serious. After she finished speaking, Chen Changli's face instantly showed anger, and his hands clenched into fists: "Damn it, no wonder he kept forcing me to drink yesterday, he actually had such a vicious mind!"
"Shufang, the county magistrate is so powerful here that we can't do anything to him for now. Why don't we use his tricks against us and pretend that he has succeeded and lure him into the trap?"
Hearing this, Wan Shufang nodded. She had originally planned to do so, so she naturally supported Chen Changli at this moment: "Okay, I will adjust your body and fake the pulse of being addicted to the Black Water Pill."
As she spoke, Wan Shufang took out a silver needle and was about to give him acupuncture, but Chen Changli grabbed her wrist.
Seeing the bruises on the corners of Wan Shufang's eyes, Chen Changli couldn't help but feel distressed. He got off the bed, carried her to the bed, and then got on the bed and carried her: "Go to sleep first, you're too tired."
"But the county magistrate..."
"Don't worry, we spent the whole night together. It's okay to sleep a little longer today. I'll sleep with you." As he said that, he hugged Wan Shufang tighter. Seeing this, Wan Shufang stopped resisting.
Maybe she was really too sleepy, and before long, she fell asleep in Chen Changli's warm embrace, while Chen Changli kept looking at her with gentle and affectionate eyes.
When Chen Changli saw the county magistrate again, he deliberately showed joy, with a rosy face. Seeing Chen Changli like this, the county magistrate was so happy that he couldn't even suppress the smile on his face.
"Does your Excellency look happy?" the county magistrate asked deliberately. When he saw Chen Changli nod, the smile on his face deepened a little, and he extended a warm invitation to Chen Changli.
"Sir, there is a new song today. Do you want to listen to it?"
"You can try it."
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate immediately asked someone to make arrangements and led the way with a happy smile on his face.
For several days, Chen Changli stayed with him, but after being on guard, Chen Changli never took the Black Water Pill again, but hid it secretly every time.
the other side.
Wan Shufang continued to follow Niu Jinzhi. Although she did not get any useful information that day, Wan Shufang had a feeling that Niu Jinzhi would be the breakthrough point of this matter, and she was unwilling to give up this chess piece.
After tracking for several days, Wan Shufang finally found some clues.
It turns out that the place where Niu Jinzhi and the ugly man had their secret meeting was actually a stronghold of the Blackwater Gang!
"It's true, but I don't know if that man has any connection with the Blackwater Gang..." Wan Shufang murmured, and became more careful. After getting the money, the man tried to find a way to get rid of Niu Jinzhi.
After the people left, the man turned around and left home.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang hurriedly followed him, only to see the man turning left and right, cursing under his breath.
"Damn it, that ugly girl is always pestering me, it's disgusting. If it weren't for her money, I wouldn't even want to see her, ugh."
The man snorted viciously, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes: "Although she is a little ugly, her money is really easy to cheat."
"I just hope she stays so stupid every day." As he said this, the man couldn't help laughing. Not long after he walked away, he entered the gambling house.
Looking at the tall attic in front of her, Wan Shufang hesitated, not knowing whether she should follow in.
