Chapter 183 Treating the Empress Dowager and Encountering a Sche [3]
Zi You whispered into Shangguan LingRan’s ear. Shangguan LingRan nodded while he was listening. He then held her hand and wanted to say sothing. Zi You covered his mouth and shook her head. She pointed at the Empress Dowager. “We’ll talk after I feed her the dicine and perform acupuncture on her sleep point.”
Shangguan LingRan nodded. “What to do with this dicine?”
“Keep it for evidence.” Zi You replied, “I will go decoct a new bowl. I don’t trust other people. You look after the Empress Dowager.” Then she quietly left.
An hour later, she ca back with a bowl of dicine in her hands. She waved her hand and Shangguan LingRan went back to hide. She brought the dicine over to the bed and softly called out, “Empress Dowager, it’s ti to take your dicine. Empress Dowager......”
She called out five tis before the Empress Dowager woke up.
Zi You brought the dicine to her lips and watched her gulp it down. Then she gave her water to rinse her mouth and put a candied fruit in her mouth.
The Empress Dowager went to sleep again. Zi You quickly tapped her sleep acupuncture point.
After a while, Shangguan LingRan flashed out from behind the bed curtain. He pulled Zi You into his arms and tightly hugged her. He asked lowly, “YouYou, I missed you to death. Did you miss ?”
Zi You shook her head. Shangguan LingRan leaned over. The amorous feelings from his eyes made one’s heart tremble. He hugged Zi You’s waist and covered her lips in punishnt. He kissed her hard and asked again, “Did you miss ?”
This overbearing expression seed like if Zi You said no, he would punish her again.
Zi You was helpless and could only nod. In fact, she actually did miss this dandy. Especially in the dead of the night, he would certainly appear and disturb her dreams.
Zi You glared at him bashfully and angrily. “Hateful!”
Her voice was sweet. Shangguan LingRan’s heart couldn’t help but shake. Her shimring starry eyes also held deep feelings. He reached out to raise her small face and gave her kisses on her smooth forehead, bright starry eyes, small nose, and pink lips. His voice held extre control and deep yearning. “I really regret that we had to separate that night......”
His voice fell and his mouth covered Zi You’s mouth. He didn’t hesitate as he pried open her teeth and shared her every bit of sweetness and breath. He forced her to forget everything and accept and respond to his affection and breath.
Shangguan LingRan finally let go of Zi You when they were both breathing unevenly. He looked at her small face turning red and shy gasps. Her voice was even turning hoarse. He lifted the hair that had fallen onto her cheek and softly asked, “How long will it take for you to return from the mountains?”
Zi You had almost no strength and leaned against him. Her charming eyes were delicate and unique. She gasped, “Maybe sumr.”
“Ah!” Shangguan LingRan sadly sighed. “Heavens...... Isn’t this torture?! YouYou, quickly treat imperial grandmother so that I can go find you in the mountains or I will beco lovesick.”
“Smooth talker! Who knows how many won you have said these words to?” Zi You deliberately provoked him.
Shangguan LingRan’s handso face was imdiately covered in a layer of haze. “Do you really think that I’m a dandy? I, Shangguan LingRan, have only said these words to you in my life. I will never say them to anyone else. Don’t doubt . These doubts make feel bad!”
He was obviously angry. The veins on his temple were popping out.
Zi You quickly reached out to rub his temple. She looked up at him and whispered, “Why are you angry? I was just joking.”
“I don’t want to hear such jokes.” Shangguan LingRan put his head down on her shoulder.
Because there was a huge height difference between them, this posture was very awkward. Shangguan LingRan almost had to bend his legs.
But he didn’t seem to care at all. He continued confessing while leaning against her. “YouYou, rember. I don’t like you doubting . Don’t worry. I won’t be like your old man and marry so many won and make you cry. I want you to always live happily. I won’t let you cry a single tear.”
Zi You shook. She looked at his phoenix eyes. His narrow phoenix eyes glittered so that the brilliance in a whole sky couldn’t compare to it. They looked at her with affection as deep as the sky and as seriously and firmly as if they wanted her to drown in them.
A person’s eyes couldn’t fool people. Zi You thought of Zhao HongXiang from her previous life. Every ti that he swore an oath, his eyes always shifted. He didn’t dare to look at her or his smile didn’t reach his eyes. She believed that Shangguan LingRan was not lying to her.
So, she reached out and grabbed Shangguan LingRan’s big hand. She solemnly said, “Okay. I will never doubt you.”
“En.” Shangguan LingRan smiled happily. His magnificent phoenix eyes were as bright as stars.
Zi You looked at Yurong on the ground and then at the hourglass. She knew that this wasn’t the ti for them to linger over emotions. She imdiately said to him, “I’m going to use my spiritual power to treat the Empress Dowager. Drag her aside and watch the door. Don’t let anyone co inside.”
“Okay.” Shangguan LingRan went over and kicked Yurong over to the door. Then he walked over to stand by the door.
Zi You focused and generated her spiritual power. Her eyes gradually beca purple. Her eyes penetrated the Empress Dowager’s body and looked at her lungs.
From this view, she could see there was congestion on her bronchial wall, edema, inflammatory infiltration of the lungs, and oozing of and solidified lung fluid. Zi You imdiately used her spiritual power and aid it at that area.
A quarter of an hour later, she saw that the congested and inflad area had basically beco normal. Then she slowly withdrew her spiritual power.
She imdiately whispered to Shangguan LingRan, “It’s done, Shangguan LingRan.”
Shangguan LingRan imdiately ran over to her. He took a look at her eyes and was stunned.
At this ti, Zi You’s eyes were still purple because she had just used her spiritual power.
They were clear, limpid, and bright eyes that glead and dazzled...... Shangguan LingRan tried to speak, but he didn’t have the words to describe the beauty of Zi You’s eyes.
The world’s most beautiful athyst, purple gem, or purple grape imrsed in water would not shock him as much as her eyes did. Her beauty really was shocking to the core!
Shangguan LingRan thought that if the lecherous Emperor and his sons saw that his YouYou had such a beautiful pair of eyes, wouldn’t they be even more desperate to obtain her?
Once he thought of this, he couldn’t remain calm. He hugged her and said, flustered and panicked, “YouYou, don’t use your spiritual power. I don’t want others to see your beautiful eyes.”
“En, I know.” Zi You hurriedly promised after seeing him nervous. She understood why he was afraid. Shangguan LingRan did not have enough strength to fight against Taizi and the Emperor. After all, his substitute before really was a dandy. And it had only been a little more than two years since Shangguan LingRan replaced his substitute and returned to the capital.
Shangguan LingRan thought of how it was very difficult for him to finally fall in love with a woman. But he couldn’t publicly marry her and had to sneak around. He was depressed to death. He hugged Zi You and secretly vowed that he must beco powerful. He had to be powerful enough that he didn’t need to fear imperial power and that he could protect Zi You.
They spoke so more. Then they woke up Yurong. Shangguan LingRan ran to continue hiding behind the bed curtain.
Yurong looked at Zi You smiling enchantingly while sitting and holding a soft sword against her throat. Yurong was imdiately scared and panicked. She stamred as she said, “Mu Xiaojie, Nubi...... Nubi is the Empress Dowager’s first- ...... first-rank palace maid. You have no right to do this to .”
Zi You was too lazy to speak nonsense with her. She lifted Yurong’s chin and threw a poison pill into her mouth. “This xiaojie is too lazy to speak nonsense with you. If you don’t want to die, then be obedient. Do you know what you just ate?
“‘Three Days’ Fragrance.’ If you don’t take the antidote, three days later, you will watch as your skin begin to rot. Then the muscles and then the internal organs. The experience is guaranteed to make you be in so much pain that you will wish that you were dead.”
Yurong’s first reaction was to use her finger to stimulate her palate to induce vomiting. But her finger had just moved when a pain ca from her throat. Zi You’s sword had pierced into her skin.
Yurong trembled. Her finger shrunk back. Tears and snot flew as she howled, “Mu Xiaojie, what do...... What do you want Nubi to do?”
She was very loud, thinking that she would wake the Empress Dowager up, but the Empress Dowager was still sleeping without any reaction.
Yurong was extrely anxious, but she didn’t dare to ask. She didn’t know where the other first-rank night palace maid Furong had gone to. She didn’t know that Shangguan LingRan had tapped Furong’s sleep acupuncture point. Furong was sleeping deeply in the next room.
Zi You saw her howling loudly and her eyes turning. She imdiately guessed her thoughts. Zi You coldly scoffed. “It’s no use even if you shout until you break your throat. If soone cos, you will die. If you don’t want to die, then be obedient.”
Yurong saw that Zi You seed to have mind-reading powers and could read her thoughts. Her voice imdiately shrunk. She kowtowed as she asked, “Mu Xiaojie, what do you want Nubi to do?”
Zi You stretched out a slender and white finger and crooked it. She then put her soft sword away.
Yurong approached her with horror. She looked at her like she was looking at a demon. After hearing her orders, she helplessly nodded.
Zi You clapped her hands. Shangguan LingRan imdiately ca out from behind the bed curtain. Yurong saw him and the color on her face imdiately dissipated.
Compared to Zi You, Yurong was more afraid of Shangguan LingRan.
