Chapter 270 The Fierce Princess
How can a brush hurt people?
Hu Xin'er was surprised: "How are you? Are you okay?"
Yin Li asked unhappily, "What do you think?"
Hu Xiner went forward to check and saw that Yin Li's wound was covered with many densely packed small blood pits. Fortunately, the wound was covered by clothes, so it was not deep and there were some ink stains on it.
The wound was on his arm. Hu Xin'er repeatedly examined the brush in her hand and his wound, her expression becoming increasingly strange. "Oh my god, it really looks like the wound was caused by a brush. But if it's so sharp, how could it be used to paint, and still be so smooth?"
When Mu Qing saw the green brush in her hand, his eyes fixed and he looked at his wound carefully.
At this time, Hu Xin'er asked, "Hey, Yin Li, come and see for yourself. This pen is the one you gave me last time. Does it have any mechanism?"
Yin Li's expression was a little serious: "Have you noticed anything unusual when you use this pen?"
"This..." Hu Xin'er fell into deep thought.
Yin Li suddenly sighed: "It seems that it is time to tell you this shocking secret."
Hu Xiner widened her eyes. No way, could this brush she picked up casually be some magical treasure?
Mu Qing put his hands behind his back and paced in a circle. "Actually, my body is extremely delicate and precious. If it were touched by such a worthless thing, I would lose control and suffer severe damage."
Hu Xin'er frowned: "Tell me again, what is this secret?"
Mu Qing looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, then slowly covered his heart: "Ah, it hurts! I can't take it anymore, hurry up, call the imperial physician, just thinking about being touched by such a lowly thing, my heart feels like it's going to explode——"
Hu Xiner couldn't stand it any longer: "That's enough!"
She casually picked up an old book on the table and slapped it against Yin Li: "If I don't beat you to death today, you idiot, I won't be named Hu--"
Yin Li covered his heart and ran as fast as he could: "Help, help!"
After that, whenever Hu Xiner asked about this topic again, he would just laugh it off.
Yin Li was laughing and joking, no different from usual, so there was nothing strange about it.
But Hu Xiner always felt something was wrong. Mu Qing had said that he felt stung and painful when he was stung by a pen before, and Yin Li was even worse off, as she was directly stabbed.
If this amount is correct, it would be too much of a coincidence. Moreover, Yin Li's wound was real, which is not the effect that ordinary weapons can cause.
However, no matter how much Hu Xiner examined it, it was just an ordinary brush. Even when she asked Yin Li again, the wound on Yin Li's body had healed!
She had no choice but to give up, guessing that there must be some magical mechanism on the pen, which is why it is so lethal.
But the question is, why has she never triggered this mysterious mechanism even though she draws with a pen every day?
After moving into the palace, the emperor assigned some staff to the library, including scribes, tea servers, and even some Hanlin scholars to help.
This naturally also includes the intention of cultivating Mu Qing's network of contacts.
Everyone worked enthusiastically, and Hu Xiner's little doubts were soon drowned out by the tedious matters.
That day, Hu Xiner was busy when the door of the library was kicked open with a bang.
"Who dares to trespass into the library?" The servant boy who was writing beside her was engrossed in reading. When he heard the noise, he immediately stood in front of Hu Xiner's desk vigilantly.
Through the open door, a figure walked towards them with a heroic and imposing manner. The flower ornaments on her forehead sparkled brightly, and the silver cloud patterns on her skirt fluttered with her steps.
This domineering look immediately stunned the servant. His knees weakened and he said tremblingly, "Greetings, greetings, Princess!"
"Ah? The eldest princess is here?" Hu Xiner raised her head suddenly and saw a familiar figure rushing towards her like riding on a Hot Wheels.
"Let's go and have a drink!" The eldest princess lifted her up from the chair without caring what she was doing.
Only then did Hu Xiner realize how strong the princess was. She was dragged away before she could even put down her pen. She felt like she was floating in the clouds - she was being dragged by the princess the entire time.
At this moment, she could only be thankful that she was not actually repairing the calligraphy and painting, but was pursuing a perfect restoration, so she was drawing patterns on ordinary white paper.
Otherwise, no matter how exquisite the calligraphy and painting are, they will be ruined by the eldest princess's pull!
"Slow down, Nangong Yue!" She shouted several times before the eldest princess reluctantly stopped.
She said angrily, "Woman, do you think you can call me by my name?"
"I was wrong. Is it okay if I was wrong?" Hu Xiner panted. She had never thought before that she would feel carsick when walking!
It's really not a matter of the princess being too fierce, but a matter of the fierce princess also practicing martial arts.
Seeing her gasping for breath, the princess said with a hint of disdain, "Is it really that exaggerated? You're too weak."
Hu Xin'er said unhappily, "If you have the guts, then cripple your own martial arts skills and see for yourself if that's tiring."
The eldest princess knew she was in the wrong, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Humph, woman, you just want to attract my attention."
She ran to Hu Xin'er and patted her on the back: "This princess allows you to have close contact with me."
Hu Xin'er was deeply touched, but then declined her invitation: "You should leave your broad spine to Erdong."
When Erdong was mentioned, the eldest princess's face suddenly turned a little bad.
Hu Xin'er noticed something was wrong and pulled her to a secluded place, asking, "What's going on? Why did you run out without even bringing your servants with you?"
After the princess finished sullenly explaining the cause and course of events, Hu Xin'er opened her mouth wide: "What did you say? Erdong ran away from home again?"
She asked again carefully, and the eldest princess finally said shyly, "Who, who made Erdong refuse to spend his wedding night with me? He ignored me even when I acted like a spoiled child, so I can't just go along with him!"
So, the eldest princess became angry and forced Erdong to sleep with her!
Hu Xin'er's facial expression was completely out of control: "You're too tough!"
The eldest princess raised her chin slightly and said, "You really understand me. Xiaolan, that girl, only knows how to cry and talk about me. It makes me upset just thinking about it. Let's go and have a drink!"
Hu Xin'er was so angry that she wanted to hit her on the head: "You're still drinking even though your husband ran away. Go get him back and apologize!"
The eldest princess suddenly realized: "It seems so!"
Looking at her hurriedly leaving back, Hu Xiner shook her head helplessly.
