Chapter 31 Usagi Tsukino
In the next few days, apart from being on duty and training, Shen Yue spent the rest of his time in the room practicing the internal energy techniques given to him by Xiao Yuheng.
With the original owner's internal strength as a foundation, her learning speed was not slow. However, when she reached the middle stage of practice, some of the formulas were obscure and difficult to understand, and she would get stuck halfway through her practice.
That day, she sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, concentrating her mind once again and trying to guide the flow of Qi in her body according to the mantra, but the Qi was sometimes scattered, sometimes chaotic, and she would not obey her command no matter what she did.
In a fit of rage, she picked up the book of mental skills and threw it away.
"What a crap thing! I don't want to practice it anymore!"
The next second, a sound of "Ouch" was heard at the door.
Zhang Dayong covered his forehead and picked up the mental method on the ground, "Director, your book fell."
"knew."
Shen Yue felt that not practicing martial arts well was no different from failing an exam. She felt very frustrated and spoke lazily: "What do you want from me?"
"Someone's looking for you outside." Zhang Dayong whispered, "It seems to be Miss Cheng from Mantingfang."
"Miss Cheng...Cheng Sijin?"
Shen Yue's eyes brightened instantly.
Cheng Sijin said that the antidote would be sent to the palace as soon as it was prepared. Does this mean that her poison will finally be cured?
Shen Yue was so excited that she put on her boots and ran to the front hall of the Second Division in a hurry.
"Hello again, Second Director."
Cheng Sijin was dressed up as usual. Her brocade skirt was colorful and swayed in the wind. The hairpins on her head jingled, and her bright makeup made her look even fairer and more attractive.
"Miss Cheng, why are you..."
Shen Yue moved closer to her and lowered her voice: "Why did you come here openly? Aren't you the prince's secret agent? What if you are exposed?"
"Exposing my ass, I'm here to find a heartless man."
Cheng Sijin replied in a low voice, then raised her voice:
"Hey, Second Chief, didn't you say you would come to Mantingfang to look for me? It's been so long and you still haven't shown up. I see you've completely forgotten about me, humph!"
After she finished speaking, she pinched her waist with her hands, pouted her red lips, stomped her feet a few times with a coquettish look, and her waist twisted and turned.
Shen Yue immediately understood that she was acting, and hurriedly cooperated with a smile:
"Oh, my beauty, I've been busy with official duties lately and have neglected you. You won't blame me, right?"
Cheng Sijin rolled her eyes at her and refused to give in: "Humph, I don't care, you have to accompany me now!"
This is addictive.
"Okay, okay, my beauty, why don't you come to my room and talk?" Shen Yue coaxed.
"Alright, please lead the way, Second Director."
After saying that, Cheng Sijin walked lightly with her lotus steps, swaying her waist, and followed Shen Yue slowly towards the room.
The shadow guards who were watching were all stunned:
The prince was first Cheng Sijin's benefactor, then he was with the director, and now, the director is with Cheng Sijin...
Emma, this relationship is too messy!
Here, after Shen Yue brought Cheng Sijin back to the room, she was about to close the door, but suddenly remembered that she was a man now, and it seemed inappropriate to close the door, so she opened the door again.
Cheng Sijin came to the table, pulled a chair and sat down, "Second Director, how was my performance just now?"
"Well, it's pretty good, but it's a little artificial." Shen Yue answered truthfully.
"You want to say it again?"
Seeing Cheng Sijin was a little unhappy, Shen Yue quickly changed her words:
"What I mean is, Miss Cheng's performance just now was so superb and heartfelt that it made you feel like you were there, leaving you with an endless aftertaste!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sijin rolled her eyes at her, but the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
"Tsk, you're so smooth-talking. No wonder the young master likes you so much."
"Uh, hehe."
Shen Yue agreed somewhat awkwardly and poured her a cup of tea.
"Miss, you must be mistaken. How could the prince like a man like me?"
Cheng Sijin snorted and picked up the teacup. "If he didn't like you, would he have given you the Frost Moon Dagger? Would he have let me prepare the antidote for you? Would he have tolerated your mischief in the front hall that day?"
"Haha, you already know everything..."
Shen Yue knew that no matter what she said, no one would believe that there was nothing between her and Xiao Yuheng, so she simply gave up explaining. Compared to clarifying the rumors, she was more concerned about her antidote.
"Miss Cheng, speaking of the antidote, did you bring it today?" she said with a playful smile.
"Of course I did."
"The kind that can completely detoxify you by eating it?"
"nonsense."
Cheng Sijin took out a small medicine bottle from her waist and placed it next to Shen Yue. "Here, it's for you."
"Oh, okay!"
Shen Yue was very excited. She picked up the teacup and drank the medicine.
After a while, she felt unbearable abdominal pain and couldn't help but curl up her body.
"Miss Cheng, this isn't fake medicine, is it? Please don't try to trick me!"
"Just bear with it. This is a necessary process for clearing the poison. You'll be fine once you spit out the poisonous blood."
Cheng Sijin obviously didn't think anything of it and just continued drinking her tea. Seeing that Chen Yue was still unwell, she simply took out the storybook from her sleeve and started reading.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Yue finally spat out a mouthful of black blood with a "wow".
Seeing this, Cheng Sijin rested her elbows on the table, held her chin, and sighed.
Shen Yue's heart tightened, and she quickly held her arm:
"What's wrong, big sister? Is there something wrong with my reaction? Is there something wrong with the medicine?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Cheng Sijin shook her hand away, "How dare you doubt my medical skills?"
"No, no, then am I okay or not?"
"Of course it's fine." Cheng Sijin snorted.
"I was just lamenting the story just now. Princess Jiaqing and Guard Lin went through so many hardships, but in the end, they ended up committing suicide for love. Sigh!"
Shen Yue felt that since Miss Cheng had just saved her life, it would be unreasonable for her not to comfort her, so she said patiently:
"The moon waxes and wanes, and people experience joy and sorrow. Princess Jiaqing and Guard Lin..."
Oh, that’s not right. Why does it sound so familiar?
She picked up the storybook on the table and flipped through it. It was indeed the book she wrote, "The Princess is Enchanting, and the Little Guard Can't Stand Being Flirted With."
"Um, Miss Cheng, actually, Princess Jiaqing and Guard Lin are not dead..."
"Not dead?" Cheng Sijin looked up suddenly. "How do you know? The last page of the story clearly states that they both died in the sea of fire."
"Don't worry, I'll get something to show you."
Shen Yue stood up mysteriously, took out a stack of manuscripts from the closet and placed them on the table.
"Here, this is the second volume of the storybook. The princess and her guards found two corpses and burned down the princess's mansion, creating the illusion that both had died tragically. Then they took countless gold, silver, and jewelry and traveled around the mountains and rivers, enjoying the rest of their lives!"
Cheng Sijin took the manuscript and flipped through it. "That's true, but why haven't the books been ordered yet? They're all scattered."
She suddenly thought of something and looked up in disbelief, "Are you Usagi Tsukino?"
