Don’t Spoil Me, General - C144
The sound of water splashing could be heard. She was stunned as she was tightly hugged by him. The droplets of water all over her body had rubbed onto his body.
His palm covered the handprint on her back, kneading it neither lightly nor heavily. He said in a hoarse voice, “You ran with him twice. You’re not allowed to run again next time.”
“He meant no harm.” Yu Yan thought about it and told him about Nian En.
Hearing that, Yulixiao’s face sunk, the reason why the mother and daughter duo did not get his help, was because they wanted to put them there and fish out some powerful figures that could pull the both of them out from the sea of people. If Mo Wenli took them away, the bait would be gone.
“Since Nian En has nothing to do with you, let her go.” Yu Yan whispered as she grabbed’s waist.
“It’s up to you.” Yulixiao nodded, since it was already useless, there was no need to keep it anymore.
“Yes, there’s one more thing. If you’re free tonight, you should go over to Ye Mingyue’s place to take a seat.” Yu Yan said directly.
“Hmm?” He looked at her in confusion.
“Just take a seat …” Yu Yan laughed, she stood on her tiptoes, and held his head gently while shaking it, “I promised her that I would give her a chance, and I’ll also give you a chance, an outdated one.”
“Stop messing around. What time is it? Why are you making trouble like this?” He frowned, obviously annoyed.
“Hey, I don’t want to bear the notoriety of being a jealous woman, do I?” Yu Yan shrugged and stuck closer to him.
“You can’t afford the word ‘jealous’, you don’t have enough skill.”
He frowned, his fingers reaching out to her wrist. Although he could not detect any illness, he could still hear the rhythm of her heart.
“Ask Madam Chen Yao and Doctor Bai to come over and ask Nian An to bring her master’s clothes.”
After he finished speaking, he walked to the side of the bed and lightly lifted his robes to sit down. There, he chanted the chant that Yu Yan had just recited.
This thing was very feminine, and was indeed suitable for women to train in. However, it was only a method to calm one’s heart and form one’s Qi. Yu Yan did not have any martial arts foundation, but after reading it once, how could she let the red spot disappear so quickly?
No matter what, the spots on the jade white porcelain skin made him very unhappy.
“What are you looking at?”
After Yu Yan realized what was going on, she finally realized that something was wrong. She looked at her arm and pursed her lips, trying her best to sink into the lake.
“Maybe it was when you were pulling on him. Are you angry?” she asked softly, looking up at him.
Yulixiao shook his head, and said in a deep voice: “Looks like I have to invite him over. If I am able to cure your illness with the Forgotten Butterfly, I will reward him handsomely.”
“I know you’re generous.” The corner of Yu Yan’s mouth curved slightly, and he laughed, as he gently poured water on the spots on his arms.
The sound of light footsteps came from outside, and Nian An’s voice sounded.
“Mistress, the clothes are here.”
“Come in.” Yulixiao said in a heavy voice.
Nian An walked in with her head held high. She was clearly very afraid of Yulixiao, and her steps were broken as she breathed lightly.
In fact, in the entire palace, it was only Yu Yan who was not afraid of Yulixiao, the few wives standing in front of Yulixiao were all well-behaved.
Nian An went over to Yu Yan’s side and rubbed her hair with oil before carefully using the handkerchief to block her injured shoulder. She looked down and saw the bloody palm and immediately exclaimed.
“What are you shouting for!” Yulixiao reprimanded.
Nian An trembled in fear and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
Yu Yan turned her head to look at Nian An, then looked at her own shoulder, and finally looked at Yulixiao. She whispered to him: “I only have this one girl by my side, you scared her to death, what should I do?”
“Get out.” Yulixiao said as he walked out of the room with a dark expression.
“Yes.” Nian An quickly crawled up, held her head and rushed out with broken steps.
Yu Yan turned her head with all her might. She knew that there was something on her back, but she couldn’t see it.
“It’s nothing, stop looking. Be careful, you twisted your neck.”
Yulixiao lightly rubbed between his brows, feeling helpless. Yu Yan was the type of woman that couldn’t be tricked. Sometimes he would rather her be stupid and stupid.
“Just tell me what’s wrong,” Yu Yan said as sshe stood up from the water, he twisted her head even more and said loudly, “Nian An, give me the mirror.”
The sound of footsteps came from outside the curtain, followed by Chen Yao’s gentle voice.
“king, chenqie and Doctor Bai are here.”
“Wait.” Yulixiao stood up, picked up a clean handkerchief from the side, walked to the side of the pond and extended his hand to Yu Yan.
Yu Yan had no choice but to give up and pass his right hand to him, helping him to stand up.
Her entire body was covered in broken water droplets, as if they were rolling on a beautiful jade. She lowered her eyelashes and allowed him to wipe them off with a handkerchief before taking back her clothes.
“Chen Yao, come in.” He looked at her and spoke in a low voice.
Layer upon layer of the bead curtain was lifted, the tassels made a crisp sound, as if they were playing a heavenly music. Turning her head, she saw that Chen Yao had circled around the screen and arrived in front of him.
“king, Royal Consort.”
She bowed gracefully and did not raise her eyes to look at the two of them.
“Chen Yao, look at her face.”
Yulixiao lightly touched Yu Yan’s lower jaw, asking him to come over.
Chen Yao slowly raised her head, and when her gaze landed on Yu Yan’s face, she was immediately startled. How was this possible? It had clearly spread to the entire right side of her face, so why did it return to him in a single day?
“Listen to her pulse first.” Yulixiao said unhappily as he looked at her shocked face.
“Yes.” Chen Yao hurried over, even if she did not hurry her, she would still be anxious to know what happened.
Her ice-cold fingers pressed onto Yu Yan’s wrist. After listening carefully for a while, her sharp eyes noticed that there were red marks on Yu Yan’s wrist.
“I accidentally caught it.” Yu Yan remained on guard and replied lightly.
“Can I take a look?” Chen Yao immediately said.
Yu Yan hesitated for a moment before she lightly rolled up her sleeves.
Chen Yao looked at it carefully and shook her head lightly, “It’s really weird, this isn’t a pinch mark, it’s something that seeped out from the skin, like a peach blossom petal, it seems … It’s the poison. ”
“Really? Yulixiao, listen! ” Yu Yan was immediately overjoyed, and quickly turned around to grab Yulixiao’s arm.
Such intimacy was natural, stabbing Chen Yao fiercely in the eyes. She cracked her neck, and waited for the two to finish whispering to each other before she whispered to him, “It would be better if Imperial Physician Bai looked at it together. He has read a lot of medical books, or maybe he has some good stuff too, which may not be certain.”
“And here.” Yulixiao then pulled Yu Yan’s shoulders closer to let him see Yu Yan’s back.
Chen Yao leaned over, and looked carefully, and said softly: “The color is dark red, I’m afraid that the Forgotten Butterfly poison has already seeped out from my bones. It’s truly strange, did Princess Hua-Yang eat any medicine?”
“I have the antidote.” Yu Yan smiled, purposely deceiving her.
Chen Yao frowned, she did not know whether she should believe it or not.
Bai Chengan had already received his edict, he lowered his head and came in, clasping his fists at the two of them, and said softly: “king, this subject has already heard everything from outside, this subject wants to ask the Empress a few words.”
“Absolutely not.” Chen Yao shook her head and stopped him immediately. “Doctor Bai, don’t forget your identity.”
This subject is already old, and is also loyal to king. Bai Chengan cupped his fists and bowed again.
Yu Yan had a good impression of this old man. Back in the palace, Bai Chengan had treated her when she was sick.
“king will go out first.” Yu Yan pushed Yulixiao and naughtily wrinkled her nose at him.
Yulixiao gave Bai Chengan another deep glance and brought Chen Yao out.
Yu Yan rolled up her sleeves, pointed at herself and said: “Doctor Bai, look carefully, am I ready?”
Bai Chengan raised his eyes, looked at her carefully, diagnosed her pulse, stroked his beard, and nodded lightly, “king sent a letter telling me about the princess’ Forgotten Butterfly. This matter is extremely sinister, having the Five Poison Evil Arts which specially targeted female infants.
Halfway through his words, he muttered to himself, then continued to speak while looking at Yu Yan who was gradually revealing a shocked expression: “This matter is kept secret, because of your mother’s illness. I know very well, that your father could not hide it from me, and so I have only told him that I have vowed to keep this a secret, so that you can grow up carefree. At king’s place, you can decide for yourself whether or not you want to explain it to him, I won’t say too much. ”
The two of them looked at each other, then Yu Yan laughed bitterly: “So that’s the case, I am just a person who does not know his own parents.”
“There’s no need for an imperial concubine to be sad. Since Lord Yu views an imperial concubine as though she were already here, it’s only right for her to be satisfied.” Bai Chengan advised, seeing that she nodded, he continued: “Before Master Yu met with trouble, he came to find me, and begged me to do something.”
“Go ahead.” Yu Yan took two steps forward and looked at him nervously.
“He left you something that he said was related to your background. At that time, he had already sensed that something big was going to happen and was afraid that it would implicate General Yun. However, very few people in the world knew that I was on good terms with him.
He took out a handkerchief and unfolded it. Inside was a small silver lock with a broken collar. The lock was hollow and had small beads rolling inside. The patterns engraved on it were very strange. It looked like a flower, but also like a bird.
You were picked up by an adult on the collarbone hill. He saw a teenager hiding behind a tree and wanted to ask him about it, but the man ran away, leaving behind a letter explaining your whereabouts. He also solved the missing female infants in several nearby villages.” You have lived in the forest with that person for more than half a month, and when you were just a baby, it was unknown just how he let you live.
“Among all the infants that have been found, no matter if they live or die, they have all found their victims. Only you, no one else has been able to claim it. The boy who ran away, the lord guessed that it was his family that couldn’t support him, so he sent him to the lord. He went to the spring and searched carefully, and found the golden lock. The victims all said that they didn’t recognize it, so he judged it to be yours. ”
“The reason why I came to find you at this time is because your father had warned me not to tell you about your background unless it was absolutely necessary. Secondly, because I have to take care of some matters for the king in the palace, it would be inconvenient for me to meet with you, and it would be inconvenient for me to send this over to you. “Right now, you are infected with a strange poison, so it would definitely be best if you can find your family. If they know the cause and effect of this matter, they will save you from the fire and water.”
Yu Yan sat down and thought carefully about every word that he had said. Her fingers caressed the lock and muttered: “So that’s how it is … Was Mo Wenli that man? Is he my brother, or am I? But why didn’t he recognize me? “My father doted on me for so many years, but I couldn’t do anything for him …”
“Forgotten Butterfly s are very vicious. The fact that the red blush on your face can disappear within a day is indeed strange. Does the wangfei know what happened?”
“Someone taught me the Calming Heart Incantation.” Yu Yan whispered.
“Mm, it is indeed cold and dry. It is indeed taboo to be impatient, angry, joyous and sorrowful. These are all not good for you. But perhaps it’s because of something else, but don’t worry, my wangfei, since things have gotten better, this is a good thing. My master and I have already started to find a way to cure the poison, just take care of our wangfei. ”
“Doctor Bai, thank you. I will take a moment.” Yu Yan lightly nodded her head in thanks and asked him to leave first.
