TVSWWD - Chapter 53 - The Flower of Evil

 Murong Yun naturally didn't dare, so she retreated again. The further retreat made Nanny Qin suspicious.

"County Princess?"

Nanny Qin straightened up, her smile did not reach her eyes, and her tone of doubt was still kind. Behind her, Qin Lian's figure was tense, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Murong Yun's back was cold for no apparent reason. She looked at the sachet in Nanny Qin's hand and did not intend to take the poison.

I originally thought that the mother and son were in conflict with each other, but it seems that I was misled by the plot of the original book. The reality is far more complicated than the few paragraphs in the book.

"Nanny, I am curious that the elixir you mentioned is so good that you have so many people raising it. What is so good about these dry petals? I want to see fresh ones."

Murong Yun looked at the sachet in Nanny Qin's hand with feigned disgust. Her usual willful attitude slightly dispelled Nanny Qin's suspicion.

"Princess, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to see the flowers..."

It was Qin Lian who answered the question. He had already been whipped by Murong Yun and could no longer hold himself back. 

What's more, he and his mother...

"Lian'er, what are you talking about? This Villa belongs to the princess. If the princess wants to see it, of course she can."

"You have become so wild over the past few years and you still haven't apologized to the princess!"

After listening to her son's words, Nanny Qin saw Murong Yun frown slightly, and immediately turned around and scolded Qin Lian. Only the side Qin Lian saw was expressionless on Nanny Qin's face, and her dark eyes were heavy. 

As soon as Qin Lian caught his mother's eyes, he immediately knelt down and apologized obediently to Murong Yun, as if he was different from the violent person before.

Murong Yun ignored the disobedience in her heart, but no matter what, she was determined to destroy those Huan Luo flowers today.

She has about twenty good people on her side, covertly and overtly. Although Luan Yi is not here, there are still a few sixth-level ones, so nothing will happen.

In this Villa, apart from the chained slaves, there is only this family of three.

"Then lead the way."

Murong Yun thought about it for a while, regained some confidence, and ordered the two people arrogantly.

"Yes, Princess, please come with me."

Nanny Qin immediately frowned with a smile and was about to lead the way for Murong Yun. Qin Lian behind her also walked behind Xiao Cui calmly.

"Well, by the way, Xiao Cui, ask the guards to help this girl up and find a doctor to look at her."

Murong Yun nodded and took a step forward. She saw the injured girl again and left a guard down to take care of her.

Aunt Qin took these into consideration, and her fingertips unconsciously fell into the sachet in her hand.

There is some wonder in my heart, how can the princess have mercy? She wears dried Huan Luo flowers all year round, so she should be cruel. Now she is not crazy, which is already rare.

Could it be that something has changed in the meantime?

But no matter what Nanny Qin is thinking, she has to lead the way now.

The most special thing about this village is the hot spring in the backyard. For the sake of beauty and practicality, some beautiful and beneficial elixirs will be planted next to the hot spring.

However, under the careful management of Aunt Qin, the hot spring has now been reduced to a pool, surrounded by a flat field of cultivated land. About two acres of medicinal fields are filled with fiery red long-leafed Huan Luo flowers.

The strange fragrance assaulted his nostrils. Murong Yun looked at the patches of Huan Luo flowers and was a little confused. Although there were many flowers, they wouldn't require nearly a hundred slaves to take care of them, right?

"Princess, please be careful. Don't smell too much of the fragrance of this flower. It needs to be made into dried flowers before you can make a sachet."

Nanny Qin stopped Murong Yun from stepping forward to see what was going on, and gave a very considerate reminder.

However, only she knows the truth.

"Nanny Qin, that's it. Why do you need a hundred people to cultivate it? I, the princess, look at the place. If all those hundred slaves come, won't the ground be flattened?"

Murong Yun glanced at Nanny Qin, ignored her obstruction, and stepped forward on her own. The closer she got, the more intoxicating the fragrance of the flowers became. In a daze, Murong Yun was a little dizzy, but in the next second, her heart cooled.

Was that just now? Murong Yun was secretly surprised and was thinking about how to relieve her when she stepped on a hard object.

This is a good medicinal field. The soil is soft, so how can there be any hard objects? 

Murong Yun was about to lower her head to take a look with doubts, but before she could see what was going on, Nanny Qin over there quickly stepped forward and pulled her back.

"Princess, please don't touch this flower. It's poisonous, so don't hurt your noble body."

Nanny Qin stood in front of Murong Yun and quietly kicked the hard object away.

Xiao Cui looked at Nanny Qin who was pulling at her own princess with a look of displeasure. As a servant, she dared to restrict her master's behavior.

Just as she rolled her eyes speechlessly, from the corner of her eye, she accidentally saw something red and white at the roots of the flowers on the medicinal field. She didn't recognize it for a moment, so she took a few more glances until she could see clearly. 

"Princess!! There, there are bones and flesh and blood, ah, it's so scary, and there are human heads, vomit--"

Xiao Cui stumbled at the end and couldn't help bending over and retching. 

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yun subconsciously looked in the direction Xiao Cui was pointing, and the next second, she also joined the ranks of retching.

It turned out that the hard object she kicked just now was actually a human head with messy black hair on it.

At this time, it had been kicked, and under the cover of flowers and leaves, it could still see its eyes that were staring at her.

Deeper, there were dark red blood clots, and rotten flesh was vaguely exposed between the soil.

Bloody and cruel, but all of this was temporarily buried by the overbearing fragrance and beauty of Huan Luo flowers...

"Those slaves are, of course, used as fertilizer."

Aunt Qin's voice clearly remained unchanged, but at this moment, it sounded shuddering to Murong Yun.

She explained to her in a kind voice with tenderness: "This elixir is so precious. How can the princess use the petals made of fresh flowers every month using ordinary methods, so the old slave used some special methods. 

"It is also their honor to be able to make some contribution to the noble body of the princess."

"Shut up......"

Murong Yun wiped the corners of her mouth fiercely, and straightened up, her gorgeous face looked a little pale, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger: "Every month it is blooming, how can one sachet use so many flowers?" 

"Mother Qin, how dare you use such an evil and strange flower on this princess!"

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for such cruel methods?"

Murong Yun looked at the delicate and dazzling flowers. She had been wearing this sachet for ten years!

In the past ten years, she dared not think about how many people had died here.
