Lord of Rot

Chapter 477 The Duke's Death

The dance lasted very late, but Li Qi was not very interested in it, and he just reluctantly danced one more dance. He remembered that the other party seemed to be a nobleman from Donggang City, one of the sisters beside Red Rose.

The two parties only chatted briefly.

Back in the room, the maid who led the way hesitated to speak.

"grown ups……"

Li Qi remembered her, the charming personal maid.

"Please bring me a basin of water," Li Qi said, "I just want to wash my face."

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

"Yes!"

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

Putting the steaming basin on the table, the maid rolled up her sleeves, soaked the cotton cloth, wrung it out, and walked to Li Qi.

Looking at his handsome side face, her cheeks turned slightly red.

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

He simply wiped his face, and the smell of alcohol on his body was wiped away, and his slightly dazed 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 with no intention of leaving, and suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know much about the upcoming itinerary: "By the way, do you have any other plans for tomorrow?"

If there are no arrangements, he can go back to Porcupine 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 a death battle involving beheading and disembowelment. It was full of primitive man's madness and blood and had no meaning.

Forget it, it’s just a show.

"Okay, I will go tomorrow." He sat on the bed and said to the maid: "I want to rest now."

The maid blushed and approached Li Qi: "Let me help you take off your clothes."

"Maybe you can ask a male servant to come." Li Qi quickly stopped the other party.

And you helped me take off my clothes, but why did you unbutton your own clothes with your hands?

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

"Thank you for your kindness, please go out." Li Qi's face turned down. Could it be that he often smiled and made people think that he was easy to talk to?

In the room with the windows closed, the candlelight seemed to have been blown by a strong wind, and the light suddenly dimmed.

The blush on the maid's face disappeared instantly. She turned pale with fright and stuttered back: "Yes, it's your lord. I'll leave right away."

"And a basin."

"Yes"

The maid hurriedly left with the basin in hand and closed the door.

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

There are many maids who want to take advantage of this to get a higher position, but Li Qi will not give any chance.

He closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Gradually replacing sleep with meditation is starting to show results, and coupled with the improved bloodline qualifications due to Black Dragon Duo, if he forced himself to learn to adapt, in theory he could basically say goodbye to sleep.

He was neither physically tired nor mentally tired, but Li Qi didn't need to torture himself so much. He preferred to sleep comfortably.

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

Some people meditate in bed and then slowly fall asleep.

Some people were sitting in the room quietly waiting for someone to arrive. She also knew that it was unlikely that that person would come.

There was also a certain Baron Nenniu Wufang who did not want to be named. He was wandering in the corridor of the castle, wanting to exercise his husband's rights in advance, but he was confused whether he 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, and just want to maintain the aloofness unique to aristocrats, also fall madly in love with the answers and become extremely tolerant, "Well, well ~Hmm~" He kept saying.

……

This night in Donggang City.

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

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

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

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

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

Open the door and enter the Duke's room.

Duke Yaori was seriously ill, his body was twitching irregularly and intermittently, and he was foaming at the mouth.

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

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

Several people did not dare to neglect, gathered around the bed and tried their best to treat him.

"I think it should be bled. The poisonous blood must attack the heart. Blood therapy can release all the disasters."

"People will die from lack of blood!"

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

So they argued verbally, wanting to show the golden stallion present that they were of great importance, and at the same time throw the pot away. However, they did not stop using first aid measures. They kept trying to help the duke and tried to contain him. Frantic convulsions.

"Quick, get something for adults to bite. If you bite off your tongue, you'll be in trouble!"

"Nothing"

"Bite my arm!" One of the pharmacists was heartbroken. He rolled up his sleeves and put his arm over. The remaining people tried their best to open the Duke's mouth.

Click!

"Ah!!" A scream came out. The frantic Duke didn't look like a seriously ill old man at all. He bit down hard and almost chewed off a large piece of flesh on the pharmacist's arm.

Sidor Seawater 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 imagination, but he actually saw a black star pop out of the white of the dazed Pine's eyes, and then disappear.

It was as if there was a strange insect hiding in his eyes.

"Pine, are you okay?" Sidhuo 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?" Xiduo Haihai was confused.

"Siduo, you are my brother," the golden stallion said suddenly, "you should know that our father suffered too much because of this disease."

"Yes." Siddur Seawater nodded. The golden stallion performed very well during this period and often stayed with his father. He was also the first to notice today's abnormality.

Many nobles already believe that the golden stallion will find its way back and that people will only grow after experiencing great events.

"I want him to stop suffering."

Sidhuo was shocked: "What?!"

He suspected that he heard wrongly: "Don't you think so?"

On the other side, Li Qi had a good sleep. When he got up, he heard news that surprised him: "What? The Duke is dead?"
