Chapter 286
Lingwu, who had caught a cold the day before, received three dumplings at night.
The little fox tiptoed in, and after observing for a long time, it looked at the two furry creatures behind it. "Come on, Your Majesty is asleep."
As soon as Lingluo finished speaking, she leaped onto the windowsill. "Being sick is so uncomfortable. Let's share some of today's cultivation with Your Highness, but we can't give too much, otherwise the imperial physicians will think that Your Highness is faking illness today."
She said she was going to see the little silver wolf and the little white tiger, and the two of them followed her, looking concerned as they leaned against the window, as if they wanted to go but were afraid of waking the person in bed.
Seeing this, Lingluo understood everything.
At night, the wolf and tiger, who were most composed during the day, only had their current age after their tribulation in their minds, and the emotions they had hidden during the day were released at night.
Therefore, he always needed her care.
This matter is also related to the tribulation he underwent back then, but compared to Sui Sui's cultivation and transformation into a human, he was already much luckier.
So these two sisters...
Just as she was thinking this, she prepared to reclaim the cultivation she had gained today, but when she turned around, she found that the wolf and tiger had vanished without a trace.
Lingluo hurriedly turned her head to look for it, and saw that the little wolf had already stepped towards the Empress's side, and with its head down, it was clear that it wanted to rub against the Empress's cheek.
"Linlang!!" Lingluo suppressed the urge to rush forward.
She almost caused trouble last time, so today... it seems like she can't afford not to go now, right?
The little silver wolf lowered its head and rubbed its fluffy head against the woman's cheek, and a soft silver light emanated from it, enveloping the woman.
Seeing the woman's furrowed brows relax and her heavy breathing ease, the little silver wolf's obsidian-like eyes still held a pang of heartache.
She's beautiful, I like her a lot.
The little silver wolf thought to himself.
"Linlang!" Lingluo called softly again.
The little silver wolf continued to ignore her, only looking down at the woman's sleeping face.
—Her nose was red; she looked beautiful even when she was sick.
The little silver wolf thought to himself again.
"Linlang!!" Lingluo was furious.
The little silver wolf continued to look down, even trying to rub against the woman again.
But the woman's eyelashes trembled, as if startled by Lingluo's voice. Seeing this, the little silver wolf took a moment to glance at the fox with its fur standing on end.
"Lingluo, you're too noisy." Linlang's voice was very cold.
Instinctively afraid, the bristling fox instantly shrank its head, accompanied by a questioning "Linlang, you're not stupid at night anymore?"
The little white tiger, who had remained silent all along, held its noble head high, lazily got off the bed, leaped back onto the windowsill, and condescended to slap the fox on the head with its paw.
"Lingluo, shut up," Yuehui said, pressing Lingluo's head down.
Lingluo: "..." Why is it that no matter whether it's day or night, she's the only one being bullied?
And why is Linlang suddenly so close to the Empress? She hasn't even received today's cultivation yet, but she's already giving it to the Empress to protect her body.
A man in black robes landed lightly on the roof of Chonghua Palace. His face was not clearly visible, but his dark green eyes were lowered, looking down at the white expanse of heaven and earth below.
Finally, I had a legitimate excuse to come to the Empress's side.
In a short while, his figure disappeared from the spot, and no one knew where he had hidden.
His arrival did not disturb the three dumplings below.
Although Lingwu was asleep, she was distracted by a fluffy silver ball that kept trying to rub against her face.
The next day, Lingwu was in much better health, but the imperial physician who came to take her pulse could not detect anything amiss and still made Lingwu take her medicine on time. However, the medicine that had been decocted was replaced by nourishing soups by Linlang.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take your medicine." Linlang said, carrying the medicine soup.
Lingwu took a sip and drank it down without asking for the candied fruit.
Seeing this, Linlang, lost in thought, felt a pang of heartache welling up in her eyes, tears welling up.
She asked in a soft voice, "Is there anything Your Highness would like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare more."
Lingwu looked up and glanced at Lingluo, who had a completely bewildered expression. "Chicken soup for the soul."
These little brats are quite useful. If they can be turned to our advantage, they can help us maintain the dynasty for generations after her death. This would be a reward for their schemes against the original owner of this body.
"Your Majesty seems to have been enjoying chicken soup lately. Why don't we prepare a whole chicken feast for Your Majesty once you recover, so you can enjoy it to your heart's content?" For some reason, Linlang broke through her usual cold barrier today and spoke much more than usual.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lingwu didn't even nod, but the sound of Linglu swallowing clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Lingwu lifted her handkerchief and touched her lips with a light laugh. When she smiled, Linlang's eyebrows also curved upwards.
The little fox was so tempted that it couldn't resist.
During lunch, Lingluo stared longingly at the whole chicken in the bowl of chicken soup on the table, silently swallowing her saliva.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt that the Empress had developed a craving for chicken lately. In the past, she would only crave it once every ten days or half a month, but lately, she craved it every day!
Seeing this, Lingwu slowly sipped the chicken soup that Linlang had served her, a hint of a smile appearing in her lowered eyes.
Lingwu lifted the handkerchief to test the corner of her mouth before calling out, "Lingluo."
Linglu swallowed hard, struggling to look away from the whole chicken. "...Your Majesty, this servant is here."
"Want some?" Ling Wu raised her hand and pointed to the warm soup bowl.
Linglu nodded hurriedly, but before she could respond, Linlang stopped her, saying, "Your Highness, you shouldn't spoil her too much."
Linlang offered her advice, her heart still aching.
Her tone was much more volatile than usual, though she herself didn't realize it.
Lingluo hummed twice, glanced at her a couple more times, frowned, and then an unbelievable answer arose in her mind.
—Is Linlang going to end up wanting to monopolize the Empress after spending so much time with her, like Sui Sui did?
But if Sui Sui has lost her mind, has Lin Lang lost hers too?
Linglu frowned, vaguely feeling that the answer could be even more serious.
But how much worse can it get?
Surely Linlang can't fall in love with her savior like in those storybooks, can she?
Suddenly, a pair of fair hands appeared before the little fox, who was deep in thought. In those hands was a bowl of chicken soup that exuded a rich aroma, and there was a chicken leg in the soup.
It's the smoothest and most tender chicken thigh!
Unable to control her instincts, Lingluo reached out and took it. When she looked up again, she saw her mistress's beautiful face, which had regained much of its color.
Tempted by her favorite food, she realized for the first time that humans were beautiful, no wonder so many demons fell in love with their savior!
If she were to fall in love with her savior, it would only be if he held up a chicken leg and said to her, "Eat up, come with me, and you'll have plenty of chicken legs to eat."
Ling Wu said, "Eat up, it'll be good to warm up in the winter so you can get things done."
