The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story

193 Death Energy

The servants who came and went were all submissive. When they met their master, they stood silently at the side with their hands by their sides. They were quiet and orderly while abiding by the strict rules.

The group passed through half of the residence and arrived at a courtyard to the northwest of the residence.

The Old Madam’s courtyard was unusually quiet and lifeless. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled the scent of medicine everywhere.

Gu Yanfei immediately felt the uncomfortable feeling in her heart become stronger.

!!

An old granny with a wrinkled face welcomed them. After bowing, she respectfully led the group into the house. Her brows were furrowed and she looked worried.

As Gu Yanfei walked forward, she casually observed her surroundings.

On the west side of the courtyard, an old pine tree had withered.

The water in the small pond by the old pine tree had dried up.

In the east room, there was no fish in the blue and white porcelain fish tank at the table…

Gu Yanfei’s eyes were dark and she pursed her lips without revealing anything. The fingers of her right hand pressed against her compass in her sleeve. She was curious, interested, and eager to try.

Soon, the women passed through two or three curtains and arrived at a dimly lit inner room. Murong Yong stayed outside to wait.

They could see at a glance that an old woman was lying motionless on the bed against the north wall. Several women and girls were sitting around the bed, attending to her illness.

Madam Gu sighed and praised Madam Murong. “The Murong family is really upright and filial.”

“It’s only right.” Madam Murong smiled and acted modestly.

Gu Yanfei, who was at the back, quietly looked around the room.

This room was clearly very spacious, but the moment Gu Yanfei walked in, it was as if she had walked into a small and cold environment. It was as if the roof and walls were pressing down on her and were within reach.

There were two charcoal pots burning in the house. The window on the east side was only slightly open. There were a few talismans stuck to the window, but the house was dim and far away, so she couldn’t see what was drawn.

The dull air was mixed with the smell of medicine, sandalwood, mildew, and other unidentifiable smells.

Gu Yanfei sniffed a sachet.

From the moment she stepped into the room, she felt suffocated. It was like the dull, oppressive feeling she had felt before the summer storm.

Seeing that an important guest was visiting, the few servants in the room stood up and greeted Madam Gu.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the women of the Murong family moved aside. The Old Madam lying on the bed also clearly entered the vision of Gu Yanfei and the others.

The haggard old woman in her 60s had mostly gray hair and was unconscious at this moment. Only her old face, which was as pale as paper, was revealed outside the brocade blanket. Her eyes were closed, her lips were dry and flat, and her brown-spotted cheeks were slightly sunken.

The dull grayish-green bed canopy above made the old woman’s face look especially dark.

Even those who did not know medicine could tell that the Old Madam of the Murong family was seriously ill.

Gu Yanfei could not help but frown. She stared at the Old Madam for a long time.

There was a grayish-black aura of death around her.

Gu Yanfei narrowed her eyes slightly. She could see that the grayish-green bed canopy was filled with this grayish-black death energy, like layers of dark clouds before a storm.

The thick death energy enveloped the old woman on the bed like a cocoon, so thick that it almost covered her face.

Gu Yanfei was a medical cultivator and was most sensitive to death energy. She watched helplessly as wisps of black gas floated out of the shelf bed, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws like the tentacles of an octopus.

A wisp of black air floated to her skin, and her hair stood on end. She had goosebumps instantly.

Gu Yanfei gently touched her wrist, and her black eyes turned cold.

She was certain that this death energy was not the death energy of a sick person, but of a dead person!

But the problem was…

Gu Yanfei’s gaze was fixed between Old Madam Murong’s nose and mouth. Although the other party’s breathing was very weak, she was certain that the other party was still breathing and still alive!

This was unusual.

Gu Yanfei twirled her fingers thoughtfully in her wide sleeves. Her eyes darkened bit by bit, like a calm pool.

Madam Gu and Madam Murong walked to the sickbed together.

Looking at the unconscious Old Madam Murong on the couch, Madam Gu said sadly,

“I’ve known my sister for more than 20 years. The last time we met was three years ago, right? At that time, my sister looked even more energetic than me. It’s only been three years…”

The last sentence ended with a faint sigh.

Madam Murong wiped the corners of her red eyes with a handkerchief and sighed. “We’ve already invited all the famous doctors in the capital. The imperial physicians have also seen her. They all say that Old Madam’s condition isn’t looking good.”

“Later, I even invited Shangqing Spiritual Master over.”

Hearing Madam Murong mention “Shangqing Spiritual Master”, even Madam Gu was slightly moved. Her expression was solemn as she sighed. “Shangqing Spiritual Master’s Tao techniques are profound.”

Madam Murong wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief again before turning around. She grabbed Gu Yunzhen’s right hand and looked at her sincerely with misty eyes. “Zhen’er, I’ve watched you grow up and have always liked you.”

“Not only have you been knowledgeable since you were young, you’re filial, sensible, and you also have a good personality… I can only dream of having such a daughter.”

Madam Gu’s fingers gently rubbed the prayer beads without commenting.

Madam Murong lowered her voice and said, “Madam, can we talk in private?”

Madam Gu stroked her sleeve, knowing very well that the other party wanted to talk about the wedding to rush joy.

She quietly gave Gu Yanfei a look and asked her to take a look at Old Madam Murong before following Madam Murong to the jade cabinet.

Gu Yanfei did not notice Madam Gu’s gaze at all. Her attention was all on Old Madam Murong, who was on the bed, her eyes burning.

The other party’s closed eyelids trembled slightly.

Old Madam Murong was awake?!

The death energy in the bed curtains was even thicker, so thick that ink was about to drip out.

...

Gu Yanfei took another step closer to the other party. When she took a closer look, she saw the old woman’s dry and dark lips move a few times…

The other party did not make a sound, but Gu Yanfei could read lips and immediately read it.

What the other party said was—

Kill… me.

In an instant, death energy surged from Old Madam Murong’s body.
