Chapter 506 Bone-Piercing Pain
“Uh...”
Lin ngya could not withhold a groan as she gritted her teeth and braced herself.
“Should I stop so you can rest for a while before we start again?”
Zuo Qiuyu was a little worried. To a normal person, the dicine was cold to touch.
However, catalyzed by the alcohol, it imdiately brought great pain to Lin ngya.
Seeing that her little face was drained of its colors and she was breaking out in cold sweat, Zuo Qiuyu could not bear to continue applying the ointnt.
“It’s alright... please continue.”
Lin ngya braced herself and gritted her teeth. Although the ointnt was supposed to work miracles, she had not felt any other sensations other than pain.
She had to bear with it. Long Tianyu was waiting for her still.
“Alright, once you feel that you’re at breaking point, let know so I will stop anyti.”
Seeing Lin ngya’s determination, all Zuo Qiuyu could do was continue massaging Lin ngya’s arm slowly using his palm.
The burning sensation seed to challenge Lin ngya’s limit for endurance.
Nevertheless, she could still hear Long Tianyu’s cries of agony and it greatly boosted her courage.
Lin ngya laid paralyzed on the little bed, panting hard. It would appear that she had just been dragged out of water because her body was drenched with her perspiration.
“It’s going to be over soon.”
Elder Chang had told him that once the ointnt seeped into her skin, he would have completed the procedure.
The blood-red ointnt gradually turned into a pink color. Finally, the patches of pink color on arm was simply the result of Zuo Qiuyu’s continuous rubbing.
The ointnt had been gradually absorbed by the skin.
However, the pain Lin ngya endured had just begun.
“Ouch...”
An even more intense pain than before started to spread from her right arm.
If not for the fact that she was looking at her right arm that appeared completely fine, she would have thought that it had been roasted and burnt at this mont.
“ngya, hang in there! You have to hang in there!”
Looking at how Lin ngya cried out in agony and writhing, Zuo Qiuyu felt his heart tightened.
Elder Chang had said that as the injury recovered, the pain would subside simultaneously.
However, given the extent of Lin ngya’s injury, she would have to endure the agony of the burning sensation for at least another half a month.
“I’m able to! I certainly can! Ouch! Please gag ! Please, my dear cousin!”
The pain she was suffering had exhausted Lin ngya’s strength, which was not much to start with.
At this mont, she was inhaling much less air than she was taking in.
Her jet-black hair stuck to her fair forehead and she actually appeared to be in a more terrible state than Long Tianyu.
“Hang in there, cousin.”
Although Zuo Qiuyu could hardly bear to gag her, he still found a piece of clean cloth and stuffed it into Lin ngya’s mouth.
The noises from within the room had gradually quietened.
Lin ngya certainly did not wish for Long Tianyu to hear her cries of agony.
Zuo Qiuyu clenched his teeth with a pained heart as he watched his cousin, almost fainting with pain. Long Tianyu! If Long Tianyu dared bully Lin ngya in the future, not only him, but the entire Nation of Lintian would not let him off!
She went in and out consciousness, but the waves of the climaxes of pain coming from her right arm were so real.
She managed to maintain her last bit of consciousness because of the working of the Shen Nung system.
However, she was even unable to perform the simple task of moving her finger tips.
“Your Highness... what’s happened, Your Highness?”
Yu An, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the room imdiately saw the princess lying on the little bed, looking half-conscious and breathing weakly.
“Hush, don’t alarm anyone. You just carry out what you have to do. Do not even talk about what you see here today.”
Zuo Qiuyu sat down quietly beside Lin ngya, guarding her. There was a mixed expression on his face.
He had always thought that this young lady was just as capable as his brother, the emperor.
Never would he expect her to go out of her mind when it ca to matters of romantic love.
Looking at Lin ngya, the scene before his eyes overlapped with his mory of his brother five years ago.
However...
He lowered his head and gently parted the hair on Lin ngya’s forehead.
He wished that this lass would get to enjoy a blissful outco in the future.
Without realizing how much ti had passed, Lin ngya gradually woke up from her subconsciousness.
At this mont, she realized that she was wearing a set of dry clothes and was even lying on soone else’s bed.
After pondering over it, she supposed Zuo Qiuyu must have carried her here.
Pinching her glabella, she thought the pain she was going through was too hard to bear.
“You’re awake, Your Highness. Please let , your servant help you wash your face.”
A gentle voice echoed through the air and when Lin ngya looked up, what she saw was a pretty but unfamiliar face.
After she tried to recall, indeed she seed to be one of the maidservants in the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
She supposed the maidservant must have helped her change into this new set of clothes.
She broke into a weak smile at the thought that she had been a trouble to the maidservant.
“Thank you very much.”
The maidservant, who was wringing the wash clothed froze for a second and a shy smile appeared on her face.
It seed that she did not expect the princess to be so polite.
“I’m so blessed to be able to serve Your Highness. Oh yes, the prince asked that you go to look for him in the study once you wake up.”
The maidservant reported fervently, possibly because she had never t such a polite master as the princess.
“Hmm, alright. It must have been hard work for you.”
Lin ngya took over the washcloth to wipe off the perspiration on her face.
She had tried moving her right arm a mont ago and realized that she still could not really move it.
Nevertheless, she could tell that there was a subtle difference, just that she was unable to describe it in concrete terms.
However, there was one thing which she was certain about.
She did not suffer the pain in vain after all.
By now, the sky was dyed red by the sunset. Surprisingly, the day had passed with all the suffering she had been through.
Back in the study, Zuo Qiuyu was giving so instructions to Yu An.
Ling Ye, on the other hand, was standing very straight at the door, like a statue.
No one could bla the other two n in the room for ignoring Ling Ye. Given his character, apart from Lin ngya and Long Tianyu, no one else would be able to get anything out of him.
Of course, this was with the exception of the rascally Qinghu.
“Your Highness.”
The mont Ling Ye saw Lin ngya, he imdiately greeted her respectfully.
On the other hand, the other two n looked astonished when they saw Lin ngya entering the door slowly.
“He can talk. I thought he is dumb.”
Zuo Qiuyu comnted sarcastically. Before this, this guy had been standing there like a lamp post.
Regardless of how he tried to speak to him politely, he acted like he could not see Zuo Qiuyu at all.
“Please don’t mind him. This is Ling Ye’s character. Oh yes, what were you all talking about?”
Once Lin ngya ca into the room, she casually found a chair to sit down.
At this mont, Ling Ye, who had been acting like a statue had naturally stationed himself behind Lin ngya.
However, what made them more curious was Ling Ye’s face. He bore such a strong resemblance to Long Tianyu.
Could this faithful secret bodyguard be the mistake committed by the emperor of the Jin State when he was young?
“They simply resemble each other. Please keep this to yourself and not tell anyone about it too!”
When Lin ngya scanned the faces of the two n, she knew what they were thinking when they fixed their eyes on Ling Ye’s face.
This could be counted as one of Long Tianyu’s secrets.
The two n exchanged looks as they arrived at a common understanding that they would keep quiet about this. If Lin ngya said not to tell anyone, they would make sure no one knew.
“Oh yes, do you know that the entire Zhu Family had been exterminated?”
Finally, they had entered the main topic of conversation as Zuo Qiuyu spoke with a serious tone.
Lin ngya nodded. Instead of giving a positive answer, she would rather say that this was what she had expected long ago.
Expecting their enemy to act against his own interest ant risking being hard by the enemy. In this light, the Zhus probably did not expect this to happen so quickly.
“Ling Ye, did you manage to save Zhu Qiyun and the rest?”
Ling Ye, who had been keeping very quiet, opened his mouth and said with a respectful tone, saying, “Yes, I did manage to save the lives of three people, naly Zhu Qiyun, Zhu Jiajing, and Zhu Qiyun’s youngest daughter, Zhu Xiang’er.”
“I put them in the wardrobe to ensure that they witnessed clearly how the rest of their family mbers were murdered,” he continued.
At these words, Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An felt chills running up their spines.
To let them witness how their entire family got murdered was such a ruthless asure that could expose their ulterior motives.
“Where are they now? How are things?”
Lin ngya questioned in a casual tone as if she did not care at all.
“They’re being kept in the hut for logs, awaiting your instructions.”
Like Lin ngya, Ling Ye seed totally unperturbed.
Looking at these two, Zuo Qiuyu and Yu An could not help smiling bitterly.
Although all of them were people who carried out their tasks in the teeth of the wind, Lin ngya and Ling Ye were much more ruthless than the other two.
“There’s no hurry, keep them locked up for a day or two for now. Just make sure they don’t die.”
After Lin ngya was done with giving instructions, Ling Ye proceeded with her instructions.
Zuo Qiuyu watched Ling Ye leave. When he had gone far, he began discussing the matter with Lin ngya in a low voice.
“How did you manage to bring Zhu Qiyun here? Although you saved their lives, they may not even appreciate it. Think over this carefully, lest you be backbitten by them.”
Lin ngya cast an awkward look at Zuo Qiuyu, then she smiled as if she could not care more.
“Don’t think I am trying to work with them. I’m able to make them spit out everything. Thereafter, I will throw these holess people out.”
From the beginning to the end, Lin ngya had never intended to just make use of Zhu Qiyun.
Zhu Qiyun and the rest were already dead to her.
By the ti they stepped out of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, their destiny would have nothing to do with her.
She felt that she was better than those other people. At least she had temporarily spared the lives of Zhu Qiyun and the other two.
“In my view, wouldn’t it be better for to make use of them, turning them around to backbite the mastermind instead? Wouldn’t your efforts be wasted by doing so?”
Zuo Qiuyu did not totally agree with Lin ngya’s opinion to the point that he sohow sensed that Lin ngya was sowhat different from what she was like.
“The dog that bites does not bark. As for them, they had barked louder than others. These useless people don’t even fit to be my weapon. They are rely a bunch of worthless people. Cousin Yu, I’m afraid the situation is going to change within these few days. Do be on your alert, because those people coming for us are coming with ill intent.”
