His Majesty’s Hostage - Volume 1 Chapter 26
Chapter 26
It was a night filled with lust. Hong Xu woke up greatly refreshed the next day, but Zi Li’s fortune is not the same from being tormented throughout the night! The way his originally man’s body being toyed like a woman’s was so painful, he wanted to weep to his father like a girl.
Not only the other person didn’t exercise restraint on him, he even continuously tortured him over and over and only stopped after two hours, pass midnight! What after effect of this debauchery had brought to Zi Li——was an image of a deflated man wilting on top of the bed unable to move a single step!
The maid servants waiting upon Hong Xu changes him into the sovereign King’s court clothes. He sweep his eyes back to the still lethargic Zi Li on the bed, and commanded in an expressionless face: “Tell the Imperial Physician Li to come over and check the Bei Ling’s prince’s condition. “
“Yes, your majesty.”
He then instructed after that “Clean him up and put medicine on him or something” and proceeded to leave once he’s fixed up.
Zi Li’s eyes that were shut suddenly shot open. He furiously watches that retreating silhouette of Hong Xu.
“Is your highness awake? Would it be alright for this servant to clean your body for you?”
“Get lost! Who are you to touch me?” Due to him being forced last night, Zi Li’s anger had reached its peak, and now that female maids had been assigned to clean up the mess that guy made last night, Zi Li felt even more enrage and couldn’t keep it in any longer. “Get lost, get lost, get lost, all of you get loss!” Zi Li tugged on the blanket firmly and exasperatedly shouted at them.
That female servant waiting upon Zi Li is one of the emperor’s personal attendants. Even though she is not high ranking officials, she is regarded in the harem as imperial concubine of high ranking that had obtained the emperor’s fancy, aiming to curry favor by any means necessary.
Her long time view on herself has been “I’m not a common concubine, since the emperor have interest on me on some extent”. But now her self-superiority felt like it’s nothing to this prince hostage from another country for her to be scolded and shouted at, her heart was boiling in fury.
And so, when Zi Li vented his anger to them, that palace female servant stepped forward and looked at Zi Li in contempt. She said: “Just because his majesty had made love to you this time, you are some kind of master now. But let me tell you, someone like you can’t get married or give birth to a child even if you wanted to.
Your looks aren’t even comparable to the male concubines in the harem. His majesty only wanted to have a try on a fresh experience, nothing more. It won’t be too long till your forgotten. Hmph, when that time comes, let’s see if you still can act arrogant.”
Those words she said were extremely defamatory. Not only he was being compared and bashed, he was also being slandered as an arrogant concubine! Regardless of what she is implying, Zi Li was deathly shocked.
The raging fire born from his anger, has grown stronger because of this person pointing fingers at him. He was about throw back those offensive words, when Zi Li suddenly felt his head spin and his chest bloated as blood came pouring out.
The other maid servants that were turning a blind eye at Zi Li paled from the sight, they can’t help but secretly cried ‘not good’. Sure enough, when they saw him about to vomit large amount of blood once again, half of them supported Zi Li to spit it away from the bed.
“This is bad. Quick get some medicine for him.”
“There’s no need to panic, just let him lie down.”
“Some of you quickly go to Imperial Physician Li and tell him to come here now!”
Zi Li’s mouth was gaping as blood spills under his chin, on his neck, and down to the pillow. The traces of blood on the blanket left a somewhat dreadful sight.
That maid servant was panicking on what to do. Was it because of her shouting back at this man that he vomited so much blood? She was restless on thinking what’s gonna happen, since she might be blame for this. After all, his majesty had specifically asked her to look after this man.
If the emperor comes back and saw this man in this state, how dreadful would that be for her? So she had better quickly cure him. And with that in mind, she immediately said: “You all keep watch, I’ll go fetch Imperial Physician Li. “
Who would have thought, once she turned around, she bumped into wall of flesh. It was Hong Qing who was frustratingly rubbing his head and was staggeringly entering the room. He asked with a hoarse voice: “I say, you lot are not properly behaving, why are you all so noisy early in the morning? It’s so loud I could no longer continue sleeping. And also you, isn’t it rude to randomly bump into someone?”
Everyone in the room bowed at him at once and saluted: “Greetings ninth prince, long live the prince!”
“Never mind, never mind, what’s going on in here?”
“Answering to his prince, it’s the Bei Ling prince, he’s vomiting blood!” Once she saw that no one else dared to speak, she had no choice but to answer herself.
When Hong Qing heard this, he immediately opened his eyes wide. He walked with quick stride towards the bed side and lifted the bed curtains open. He saw Zi Li inside dead unconscious but his saliva mixed with blood was still spilling out like a flowing creak.
Hong Qing hurriedly pulled off the blanket and felt several spots in his body. He then strikes Zi Li’s acupuncture points and redirected the scattered chi on his body to its proper place.
The palace maidservants watches besides him in abated breath and did not dare to make a single move, for they were afraid of making the prince lose focus and cause an accident. It lasted for about an hour before Hong Qing removed his palm. Once he stopped the bleeding, he gently laid Zi Li back on the bed.
His line of sight freezes at those bruise marks all over Zi Li’s chest. He then tucked in Zi Li and turned around, asking in a quiet voice: “How did this happen? Why is the Bei Ling prince suddenly had a heart attack, he vomited blood?”
This ninth prince is usually carefree and casual. But why is it that when he is in bad mood, his anger was as imposing as his majesty, making people feel terrified.
At this very moment, this palace maidservants were all had their head bowed while trembling in fear. The atmosphere was heavy but they did not dare to breath.
Hong Qing’s gaze landed on their faces一一sweeping across them. All of a sudden, a palace maiden kowtowed, her face paled as she weeps: “Prince, this servant is unworthy. Af-after this servant said a few words, the Bei Ling prince started vomiting blood.”
“Few words? That’s such a convenience excuse. If it really is just few words, why would someone vomit blood and disrupt their chi?”
“Ple-please prince, spare this servant’s life! This servant understands her mistake, humbly asking that the prince would pardon this servant, prince.”
Hong Qing did not utter a single remark as he fixes his gaze at her, until she stopped speaking, frightened by the look of his eyes. She was thinking about saying something, when all of a sudden, she saw the imperial physician Li walks in with medicine in hand.
“This humble servant greets the ninth prince!”
“No need for the courtesy! Imperial physician Li, quickly take a look at the Bei Ling prince’s condition.”
He obeyed and diagnoses Zi Li. The imperial physician Li stroke his beard and explained: “The cause of the Bei Ling’s prince blood vomiting was a heart attack due to extreme agitation. In reality, a person would not easily vomit blood like this, but the Bei Ling prince suffered an injury last time due to an arrow shot, striking a vital organ. So whenever he goes through excessive sadness or joy, something wrong is likely to happen. If this problem must be eradicated, it won’t be an easy thing to do. This humble servant can only prescribe medicine to help him relax and recuperate. Mo Shou, pay attention to me and take out the medicine pills then administer it to the Bei Ling prince.” Mo Shou was shocked to discover it was Zi Li lying on the bed and stared vacantly, so Imperial physician Li coughed in annoyance.
“Oh, ok.” Mo Shou hastily opened the medicine box and took out a small white porcelain pills bottle. He then walked towards the bed side and was about to feed it to Zi Li.
Hong Qing blocked his way and said: “I’ll take it.” After he took it, he popped out a single white pill with a fragrant herbal scent and places it inside Zi Li’s mouth. That medicine gradually melted upon contact with liquid, and not for long, was completely digested within Zi Li——
Bonbon wanted to say:
