Chapter 522 Pretend Death Episode
Long Tianyu thought he heard sothing from within the room before he had gone too far.
Frowning, he quickened his steps as he returned to the room.
“ngya! Zuo Qiuyu, soone co!”
He spotted Lin ngya, who had been paralyzed on the ground the mont he entered through the door.
Long Tianyu tensed up the mont he saw the fresh blood at the corner of Lin ngya’s mouth.
There was an unusual ruddiness to Lin ngya’s cheeks. Long Tianyu pulled up Lin ngya’s sleeves and as he expected, there was a red patch made up of wriggly lines like earthworms on her right arm. The sight brought great pain to Long Tianyu’s heart.
“What’s happened? What’s happened?”
Zuo Qiuyu rushed over the mont he heard the commotion. Apparently, he was flabbergasted when he saw the Lin ngya in Long Tianyu’s arms.
“This is... Quick, Long Tianyu, lay her on the bed!”
How would Long Tianyu be willing to put her down? He continued holding Lin ngya in his arms while he sat down on the bed, looking solemn.
Zuo Qiuyu imdiately felt her pulse and as he did so, the expression on his face turned solemn too.
“How could this be? There’s no pulse! Breathing... Why isn’t she breathing too?”
The situation turned extrely bizarre.
Lin ngya, who was completely well just a mont ago, was not showing any signs of breathing and no pulse at all.
Nevertheless, the red lines on her right arms appeared to be dancing around vigorously.
By this ti, Zuo Qiuyu was drenched in sweat, but he still had no inkling of what was happening to Lin ngya.
“Go get Chang Tianhua for ! This dication had been prescribed by him. He will know!”
The bizarre situation, however, had made Long Tianyu calm down in that instant.
Although there was no pulse or breathing, he was certain that Lin ngya was still alive.
He once heard his master ntioned that there was sothing the people who practiced martial arts did, which was to lapse into a state that appeared to be dead. Soone in this state would appear perfectly normal, except that he would have no breathing and no pulse.
From Lin ngya’s appearance, she had perhaps lapsed into a state of fake death.
This was the only reason that explained the ruddiness on her cheeks even in the absence of breathing and pulse.
At this mont, Zuo Qiuyu had rushed off to look for Elder Chang. Cautiously, Long Tianyu held on to Lin ngya, fearing that he would miss anything while she was in this state.
Not long after, Elder Chang arrived with Zuo Qiuyu in a hurry.
By this ti, the ruddiness on Lin ngya’s cheeks had subsided considerably. At the sa ti, the red marks on her right arm appear to slow down in their movents.
However, Lin ngya’s breathing and pulse had not returned.
“Elder Chang, although ngya always suffers excruciating pain when she ingests your prescription, nothing like this had ever happened. Did sothing go wrong?”
Chang Tianhua did not dare to slight Zuo Qiuyu after hearing his words. He imdiately felt for Lin ngya’s pulse.
He frowned while he felt for her pulse in silence. It was only after so ti that he exhaled and started to speak slowly.
“The princess was pulsing in a strange pattern that was extrely rare in the world. Although there’re no breathing and pulse on the surface, she is still alive. There should not be any problem with my prescription. Nevertheless, there are signs that show that the princess’s arteries and veins had been injured before. The effect of the dication I prescribed must be too powerful. Not to worry, I’ve researched into another new dication which has a much gentler effect.”
Chang Tianhua wiped away the perspiration on his forehead. He was afraid that the two important guests would take it out on him.
However, both Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu were reasonable and rational. They had not displayed any signs of violence towards him.
“Does that an my cousin’s life is not at risk?” asked Zuo Qiuyu severely.
Chang Tianhua pondered carefully before he nodded solemnly.
In that instant, the two n finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Look, ngya has started to breathe!”
Zuo Qiuyu’s excited voice instantly made Long Tianyu nervous once again.
He fixed his gaze on Lin ngya until she gradually opened her eyes.
It appeared that she was struggling very hard just to co out of darkness.
The protection precaution of the Shen Nung system on the human body had been too sensitive.
She had vomited a mouthful of blood because of the powerful effect of the dication, and the Shen Nung system had automatically been activated. Moreover, the system needed ti to make a diagnosis, making sure that the life of the body was not in danger before shutting down the system.
Lin ngya was aware of such a safety asure, but there was nothing she could do to control it.
The mont she opened her eyes, she realized that she was staring into Long Tianyu’s anxiety-filled eyes.
She dazed for a mont, then she broke out into a smile. She supposed he had been flabbergasted.
“I’m fine, Long Tianyu. Don’t worry.”
A simple statent from Lin ngya made Long Tianyu’s expression froze.
He gazed deeply into her eyes and the coldness in his own eyes faded. What took over was a look of deep affection.
She could not recall the mont this man with bone-chilling temperant started to give out warmth to her.
Lin ngya seed to be captivated by his deep, dark eyes which were like a start that was most difficult to co by. It seed to attract her heart and suck it in.
“Cough... my dear cousin, how are you feeling now?”
The enchanting atmosphere was broken in that instant. Lin ngya turned around and saw that Zuo Qiuyu and Chang Tianhua seed to have a mutual agreent. They had turned their heads in opposite directions simultaneously.
They looked as if they were carefully studying the decorations in her room.
Blushing only a little, Lin ngya, who was an unusual girl, did not feel especially embarrassed over such trivial matters.
Anyways, she and Long Tianyu were a pair of lawfully wedded husband and wife. Would their gestures not be counted as affection between a pair of loving couples?
She braced herself and got up with the help and support of Long Tianyu.
She did not feel any bodily discomfort and other sensations apart from feeling strengthless in her legs.
She jiggled her body and realized that her right arm felt much better. Elder Chang’s dication was indeed out of the ordinary.
However, the mont she steadied herself, she saw Long Tianyu frowning as he looked awkwardly at Elder Chang.
She supposed Long Tianyu thought Elder Chang’s prescription was the cause of the painful episode a mont ago.
If so, he would have wronged Elder Chang.
“Actually, it’s all my fault. Elder Chang’s prescription was indeed amazing. It’s all because I couldn’t wait for my arm to heal, so I overdosed a little. Given my body is different from that of others, I’ve made everyone anxious. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”
Lin ngya bowed after she finished speaking.
It was only then that Long Tianyu’s furrowed brows eased.
He clearly knew that Lin ngya’s intention was to give credit to Elder Chang.
Rightfully, he should not bla Elder Chang and be angry with him.
“That’s right. I’m deeply grateful to Elder Chang for studying into this dication and prescribing it to my wife.”
Upon hearing Long Tianyu’s calm tone of voice, the tension in Chang Tianhua’s hearts finally eased.
He quickly smiled and waved his hand, saying, “It’s nothing. It’s all thanks to the princess for trusting so much as to try my prescription. However, the effect of this dication is way too strong. I’ve studied further and created another pill with a much gentler effect. If you take this new dication, it will also be as effective.”
Imdiately, the atmosphere beca much more harmonious.
Chang Tianhua may be an oddball, but he had a good impression of both Lin ngya and Zuo Qiuyu.
He might appear to be old-fashioned, but he was actually a perceptive and sensible person.
He was about the only person in the Pavilion of Herbs who managed to earn so trust from Lin ngya and her companions.
“Princess, although you have been implicated by what happened to Du Zhong, this may not all bad after all.”
Back in the conference room, the few of them had settled down for tea when Chang Tianyu spoke up after pondering for so ti.
“Oh? Why is that so?”
Lin ngya turned to Chang Tianhua with a quizzical look on her face.
What happened had resulted in the three of them being locked up in her small courtyard.
This would an many more inconveniences for them going forward.
Chang Tianyu paused for a mont before starting to speak.
“On the surface, Qian Yuming and Nan Rui may appear to be on the sa boat. However, they had already beco enemies due to disputes over personal interests. The Duanmu brothers are smart enough not to offend anyone. As for , I’m just an idle person who doesn’t pose any threat to them. However, Du Zhong, who was Qian Yuming’s trusted disciple, had lost his life on this occasion over the box with an abstruse secret. In reality, he did not die because of neglect, rather, soone was intent on adding fuel on the fire.”
Sensing that there was hidden aning in Chang Tianhua’s words, Lin ngya and her two companions exchanged looks, then they kept silent as they waited for Chang Tianhua’s explanation.
“Both Qian Yuming and Nan Rui are eyeing the position of the Chief Elder, but they both lacked the level of attainnt. Do you know why the elders of the Pavilion of Herbs insisted on holding this dical skills competition?”
The corner of Lin ngya’s mouth curled up into a scornful smile as she could sowhat guess the reason.
“The reason is that they wish to repossess the music score for the green stringed instrunt and the Hundred Herb Seal!”
Chang Tianhua’s words did not co as a surprise to Lin ngya.
The reason for holding such a great fanfare was not simply for electing the Chief Elder of the Pavilion of Herbs.
One ought to understand that the Pavilion of Herbs was able to grow to such a grand scale relying on the direction given by the music score for the green stringed instrunt.
Now that the music score for the green stringed instrunt had been lost and the Chief Elder who was the only person who knew about it had disappeared. Without the music score for the green stringed instrunt, naturally it had lost its attraction for talents.
Lin ngya finally understood the reason her mother hid the music score for the green stringed instrunt.
People were getting into trouble on account of this cherished item. This item seed like a treasure, but was in reality a hornet’s nest.
“But... the music score for the green stringed instrunt had already been destroyed and the Hundred Herb Seal had gone missing.”
Zuo Qiuyu said slowly after stealing a glance at Lin ngya.
At this mont, Chang Tianhua also looked toward Lin ngya with earnestness in his eyes. However, the tone of his voice was so low that only the few of them could hear him.
“Princess, back then, everyone said that the Chief Elder had handed down the music score for the green stringed instrunt to the Eldest Princess. I am not eyeing the position of the Chief Elder, which I don’t deserve, but I’ve been in this for so many years. I am earnestly hoping to have a look at the amazing music score for the green stringed instrunt.”
Chang Tianhua sounded so earnest that it seed that he was sincere.
Lin ngya pondered for a mont. She would have done a disservice if this book were to be ruined in her hands.
However, the content of the book was stored in her brain. She could not possibly put her brain into another person’s body.
