208 Nie Fainted
“What exactly happened?” Nie Lin walked to Nie Yin’s bed and asked anxiously.
“The princess is dead!” Nie Yin didn’t intend to hide this matter. He still needed Nie Lin’s help.
“I implanted a Gu in Wen Qiong’s body. That Gu fed on the aura of the phoenix essence, so it kept Wen Qiong alive. However, when the phoenix essence disappeared, the Gu lost its nourishment and lay dormant in Wen Qiong’s body.”
“When I went to the palace to see Wen Qiong’s corpse, I saw that the Gu worm had been dormant for a few days. When I went, it was already greenish-black.”
“How is that possible?” Nie Lin was even more shocked. “Didn’t you already arrange for someone to extend the princess’s life? How did she suddenly die?”
“Shen Heng is dead too!” Nie Yin gritted his teeth and said, “In addition, I found a Gu worm in Shen Heng’s body!”
“Who did it?” Nie Lin asked anxiously.
“According to my guess and the queen’s reaction, it was probably done by the real owner of the phoenix essence!” Nie Yin panted slightly as he said.
“You mean, you told the queen about this?” Nie Lin couldn’t help but raise his voice.
“Yes! It’s very difficult to hide this from the queen. Besides, she already suspects us. I can’t give her the chance to cause trouble for the Nie family!” Nie Yin explained. “From the queen’s reaction, it seems that she doesn’t know that the person who was born with the phoenix essence has already returned. She seems certain that that person has already disappeared from this world.”
“You’re saying that after the queen helped the princess obtain the phoenix bone and phoenix essence, she got rid of that person?” Nie Lin speculated.
Nie Yin coughed twice before continuing, “That’s right! That person’s return shocked the queen.”
“I think the queen will take action soon and help us find that person who was born with phoenix essence!” A scheming look flashed across Nie Yin’s eyes.
“Then should we keep an eye on the movements in the palace?” Nie Lin asked Nie Yin for his opinion.
As Nie Yin coughed again, his entire body trembled.
“Your body…” Nie Lin asked worriedly.
Nie Yin coughed a few more times before saying, “I’m fine! Don’t worry!”
“However, you have to be careful when keeping an eye on the palace. Don’t let the queen and the others notice!” Nie Yin emphasized. “The queen has confined me at home, so I can’t go out. I still need you to take care of me.”
“Between us, there’s no need to be so polite!” Nie Lin waved his hand. “However, your injuries have to be cured. I’ll find a few more Spiritual Doctors to take a good look at you. The Spiritual Doctors in the clan are actually helpless about these symptoms. What a bunch of trash!”
Nie Lin’s anger made Nie Yin feel guilty. “First Elder, you don’t have to blame them. My injuries are unusual to begin with, so it’s normal that they don’t know about it, but…”
Before Nie Yin could finish speaking, his vision darkened and he fainted.
Nie Lin was shocked and immediately summoned all the spiritual doctors in the family to treat Nie Yin.
The Spiritual Doctors formed a circle and examined Nie Yin carefully, but then they couldn’t help but shake their heads.
“What’s wrong with him?” Nie Lin asked the Spiritual Doctors as he tried his best to suppress his anger.
The leader of the Spiritual Doctors took a step forward and bowed to Nie Lin. “First Elder, Young Master’s illness is very strange. He said that he was poisoned, but we couldn’t find the source of the poison. He said that he was injured, but we couldn’t find any wounds… The few of us don’t know what to do. Please punish us!”
Nie Lin glared at the few Spiritual Doctors in front of him.
He knew very well that even if he killed these people now, he wouldn’t be able to save Nie Lin’s life!
After Nie Yin punched the flower rack at the side and shattered the flower pot, the fragments lacerated Nie Lin’s flesh and blood instantly flowed out.
When the few Spiritual Doctors saw this scene, they couldn’t help but swallow hard, but they didn’t dare to say a word.
Nie Lin panted for a long time before finally suppressing his anger. “Take good care of him. I’ll go find a doctor!”
With that, Nie Lin turned around and hurriedly walked out of Nie Yin’s room.
