nLuo Qianqian spent another five points on a flowerpot, well, a special flowerpot.
nHow so?
nThis special flowerpot could hold inexhaustible water, Luo Qianqian just needed to mix the soil with water and transplant the Water Lily Herb to the special flowerpot.
n
n
nThe team decided to take a break since it was getting dark and resume their trip the next morning.
nIt was a rather smooth journey except Feng Qing and Su Liancheng fell into the water once or twice while they tried to approach the Water Lily Herb. They found the herb and dug it out before noon, Feng Qing and Su Liancheng were grateful to Luo Qianqian’s reminder that they handled the leaves properly and neither of them was poisoned.
nThe team continued to exert themselves and they found three more herbal medicines that on the drawing book, Luo Qianqian did some math in the heart, they had found ten herbal medicine plus with the medicines they had found before this trip.
nThey decided to leave Monster Forest as full moon night was the next night and they had consumed all of their supplies.
n
n
nIt took them a day to walk out of the forest, they decided to get back to the capital city directly since Murong Yun had got the message that things were settling down in Gu Village and the Master of Gu Clan were found by his people and now was heading back to Gu Village.
nThey headed back to the capital city without a stop, they arrived at Murong Yun’s manor at night and Murong Yun broke into a paroxysm of pain as expected. Su Liancheng went to inform Lin Zimo.
nLuo Qianqian fed Murong Yun two pills that Lin Zimo had given her and then Xiao Bai reminded her that her blood would help Murong Yun, so she cut her wrist and fed Murong Yun some blood.
nXiao Bai wasn’t sure whether there was side effect in feeding Murong Yun blood, but Luo Qianqian didn’t care at that point, all she knew was her blood would help Murong Yun feel better and less weak.
n
n
n“Your Highness… …” seeing Luo Qianqian cut her own wrist, Feng Qing exclaimed anxiously.
n“It’s all right, Feng Qing, just promise me don’t mention a word in front of him.” Luo Qianqian said casually and then she dressed her wound.
nFeng Qing was lost in thought, ‘Was it all because of Her Highness’s blood?’
n“Please take some rest, Your Highness, this is not a permanent solution.” Feng Qing replied in earnest.
nLuo Qianqian shook her head and stared at Murong Yun, “I’m fine, I’m not going anywhere.”
nMurong Yun had fallen into exhausted slumber due to Lin Zimo’s pills and the blood Luo Qianqian had just fed him.
n
n
nLuo Qianqian knew Murong Yun must in great pain for he kept gripping on to her hand tightly, Luo Qianqian winced as a sharp pain shot through her hand, but she still refuse to let go of Murong Yun’s hand.
nShe knew the pain she was going through was nothing compared to Murong Yun’s.
n“Murong Yun… I swear I… will find all the herbal medicine and cure you!” Luo Qianqian gasped in pain.
nFeng Qing didn’t have the hear to watch, he averted his face.
nLuckily, Lin Zimo and Su Liancheng were back in no time. Luo Qianqian’s pale face and the wound on her wrist came to Lin Zimo’s sight as he walked into the room.
n“Fourth Lady, please take some rest, allow me to take a look.” Lin Zimo said.
nLin Zimo took out a silver needle and practiced acupuncture on Murong Yun’s wrist, and Murong Yun loosened his grip the next second.
n“Ouch!” Luo Qianqian took out her hand in great pain, it felt like her bones were broken into pieces.
n
n
nLin Zimo took out several silver needles and practiced acupuncture on Murong Yun’s neck and legs, he shouted, “Liancheng, check Fourth Lady’s hand, there’s everything you need in my box.”
n“Feng Qing, why did you stop Her Highness, look at her hand!” Su Liancheng felt so sorry for Luo Qianqian.
nFeng Qing opened his mouth, but he didn’t say anything.
n“It’s me, I stopped Feng Qing from helping me.”
nSu Liancheng sighed and took hold of Luo Qianqian’s hand, “Sister-in-law, are you ready?”
nLuo Qianqian’s hand now was red and swollen, especially her fingers, she couldn’t even move her fingers.
n“Yes… yes I’m ready, just some fractures.” Luo Qianqian gnashed her teeth.
n“Here we go then.” Su Liancheng checked the fingers carefully, he tried his best to be gentle and minimize the suffering.
nSu Liancheng set the broken fingers one by one, Luo Qianqian broke out in a cold sweat.
nSu Liancheng couldn’t even imagine how much pain Luo Qianqian was enduring, all the fingers were broken!
nLuo Qianqian gnashed her teeth and she had accidentally bit her lips, but she didn’t complain one word. All because she knew what Murong Yun was going through was more painful.
nAfter he set all the bones, Su Liancheng applied ointment on Luo Qianqian’s fingers, Luo Qianqian felt so much better.
n“All done.” Su Liancheng withdrew his hand.
n
n
nLuo Qianqian walked to Murong Yun’s bedside to check on him, what met her eyes were him covered with needles, and the needles all turned blackish.
nIt was the Frigid Poison in Murong Yun’s body.
nThe needles helped Murong Yun feel better, Lin Zimo pulled the needles out after an hour, they all turned black.
nLin Zimo stared at Luo Qianqian, “What have you fed him, Fourth Lady?”
nLuo Qianqian didn’t want to lie to Lin Zimo, “My blood.”
nLin Zimo was lost in thought, he didn’t understand why Luo Qianqian’s blood could suppress the Frigid Poison in Murong Yun’s body. What Lin Zimo knew was Murong Yun now was getting addictive to Luo Qianqian’s blood, it meant Luo Qianqian had to feed more blood to Murong Yun in the future.
n‘If Brother Eighth finds out the only way for him to live is to hurt Luo Qianqian, will he choose to live?’
n“Is there something wrong?” Luo Qianqian asked anxiously, but she trusted Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai wouldn’t hurt her.
nLin Zimo told Luo Qianqian the truth.
nLuo Qianqian didn’t care, “It’s all right, it’s just some blood.”
nLin Zimo looked so torn, “But… but it means you need to feed more and more blood to Brother Eighth, I’m not sure whether you can take it or not.”
