Lord of Rot

Chapter 477 The Duke's Death
The dance lasted very late, but Li Qi didn't have much interest in it, and then he just barely danced again. He remembered that the other party seemed to be a nobleman from Donggang City, one of the sisters beside Red Rose.

The two sides just chatted briefly.

Back in the room, the maid leading the way hesitated to speak.

"grown ups……"

Li Qi remembered her, the charming personal maid.

"Please fetch a basin of water." Li Qi said, "I want to simply wash my face."

It might be better to take a bath, but considering that the entire castle was full of nobles who came to the ball, Li Qi still restrained this seemingly good idea.

"Yes!"

The maid left quickly, and after a while she came with a basin of water.

Putting the steaming basin on the table, the maid rolled up her sleeves, picked up a cotton cloth to soak, then wrung it dry, and walked to Li Qi.

Looking at his handsome side face, her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Looking at the maid who was trying to wipe his face, Li Qi first reached out and took the cotton cloth from her hand: "Thank you, I'll do it myself."

He simply wiped his face, and the smell of alcohol on his body was wiped off, and his slightly dizzy spirit became much clearer.

After wiping his neck and then his arms, Li Qi handed the cotton cloth back to the maid: "Thank you."

He looked at the maid standing aside, who had no intention of leaving, and suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to understand the upcoming itinerary: "By the way, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

If nothing else, he could go back to the Porcupine Collar tomorrow.

The maid nodded obediently and replied: "Yes, our lord will organize a competition in the arena tomorrow."

Li Qi frowned slightly. He had no interest in the death fight of beheading and dissection. It was full of the madness and blood of primitive people, and it didn't make any sense.

Forget it, it's just watching a play.

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." He sat on the bed and said to the maid, "I'm going to rest now."

The maid blushed and approached Li Qi: "I'll help you undress."

"Maybe you can ask a servant to come" Li Qi hurriedly stopped him.

And you helped me undress, why did you unbutton your own clothes with your hands?

"It's cold, I can help you warm your bed."

"Thank you for your kindness, please go out." Li Qi lowered his face. Could it be that he often smiles and makes people think he is easy to talk to?
In the room with the windows tightly closed, the candlelight seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and the light suddenly dimmed.

The blush on the maid's face disappeared instantly, her face turned pale with fright, and she stammered back: "Yes, it's my lord, I'll be leaving right away."

"And the basin."

"Yes"

The maid hurriedly left with the water basin and closed the door.

Li Qi took off his shoes and lay on the bed: "It's winter, if you can soak your feet, it will be comfortable."

There are quite a few maids who want to take advantage of this, but Li Qi will not give any chance.

He closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

The gradual replacement of sleep with meditation has shown initial results, coupled with the improved blood aptitude due to the Black Dragon Duo, if he forcibly learns to adapt, theoretically speaking, he can basically say goodbye to sleep.

He wasn't physically tired, nor was he mentally tired, but Li Qi didn't need to torture himself that much, he preferred to sleep comfortably.

Even a giant dragon likes to sleep, doesn't it?If you were deprived of even sleeping late, life would be too miserable.

Some people meditate in bed, and then slowly fall asleep.

Someone was sitting in the room quietly waiting for someone to arrive, and she knew that the possibility of that person coming was unlikely.

There is also a certain Nenniu Wufang Baron who does not want to be named, wandering in the promenade of the castle, wanting to exercise her husband's rights in advance, but entangled in whether she should do it or not.

Of course, more people are working hard.

Ladies who never like to answer other people's stupid questions, let alone respond to any boring questions, just want to maintain the aloofness unique to the nobles, also fell in love with the answers madly, and became extremely tolerant, "Well, well ~Hmm~" on and on.

……

This night in East Point City.

Duke Yaori's condition worsened suddenly, the whole castle became restless, and no one dared to sleep.

Red Rose sat on a chair wrapped in a fur coat, waiting anxiously.

"Xiduo!" Seeing her brother approaching, Red Rose stood up nervously: "Pine has already gone in."

"Well, you are not suitable to go in." Xiduo Haishui nodded, and said seriously: "Don't worry, father will be fine!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Red Rose, but hurriedly said to the apricot-colored people behind him: "All pharmacists and scholars, please follow me."

Open the door and enter the Duke's room.

The seriously ill Duke of Yaori was twitching irregularly and intermittently, foaming at the mouth.

'Golden Stallion' Pine was lying in front of the bed, looking at his father with some fear and worry at the same time.

"Quick, save my father!" Pine jumped up immediately when he saw someone coming.

The few people did not dare to neglect, gathered around the bed and tried their best to treat them.

"I think bloodletting should be done. It must be poisonous blood attacking the heart. Blood therapy can release all the disasters."

"People will die from ischemia!"

Several people were arguing, but they were not stupid. The poor and seriously ill old man lying on the bed in front of him was the pinnacle of power in the entire East Gorge. If he could not be cured, he and others would surely die.

So they argued with their mouths, wanting to show the golden stallion present that they had a huge role, and at the same time threw the pot out, but the first aid measures in their hands did not stop, and they kept cheering for the Duke, trying to contain the other Crazy convulsions.

"Hurry up, let the adults bite something, it will be troublesome if you bite off your tongue!"

"Nothing"

"Bite my arm!" A pharmacist was heartbroken, rolled up his sleeves and brought his arm closer, and the rest of them knocked the Duke's mouth open.

Click!

"Ah!!" There was a scream, and the mad Duke didn't look like a seriously ill old man at all. He bit down fiercely and almost gnawed off a large piece of meat on the pharmacist's arm.

Xiduo Haishui walked up to his brother and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, Pine, father will be fine."

He didn't know if it was his own delusion, but he actually saw a black ball of water jump out from the white of the dazed Pine's eyes, and then disappeared.

It was as if there was a strange bug hiding in his eye.

"Pyne, are you okay?" Siddor shook him gently.

"I'm fine." The golden stallion shook his head, "It's just that I'm thinking about what to do in the future."

"In the future?" Xi Duo Hai Hai was puzzled.

"Xiduo, you are my brother." The golden stallion said suddenly, "You should know that our father has suffered too much because of this disease."

"Yeah." Xiduo Haishui nodded. The Golden Stallion has been doing very well during this time and has always been by his father's side. He was also the first to discover today's anomaly.

Many aristocrats have believed that the golden stallion knows its way back, and people only grow up after experiencing great things.

"I want him to stop suffering."

Xi Duo was shocked: "What?!"

He suspected that he had heard it wrong: "Don't you think so?"

On the other side, Li Qi had a good night's sleep, but when he got up, he heard a news that surprised him: "What? The Duke is dead?"
