Chapter 77 Drinking Flower Dew and Placing a Diamond Mirror
"Master Yuan."
When Cui Yiluo saw that it was Yuan Ling, she frowned slightly.
Yuan Ling half-leaned against the porch pillar. After a fierce sword duel, his face showed no sign of fatigue. "Miss Cui, are you in a hurry to go find Lord Jiang?"
Without waiting for Cui Yiluo to reply, Yuan Ling continued, "I wonder if Miss Cui still remembers our deal? Why didn't you go to Wanglonggang that day?"
Yuan Ling always considered his own interests, and the transaction needed to be concluded. Cui Yiluo said, "Master Yuan, I do not wish to investigate further into what happened back then."
Moreover, she had already explained to Concubine Qiong yesterday that Cui Qi had lost his mind. Who could believe the words of a madman? And the only people who knew what had happened, her uncle and aunt, were the ones who had helped Concubine Qiong become the emperor, and they would not come forward to expose it.
Her mother, Lan Yi, had already died in the Ningzhou River eighteen years ago. She had saved her life by refusing to acknowledge her.
Perhaps she investigated what happened back then just to find out how Concubine Qiong met the emperor and how she changed her identity to enter the palace.
Yuan Ling frowned as he finished speaking, then a hint of scorn appeared at the corner of his lips. "It seems Miss Cui already knows what happened back then. Miss Cui and Lord Jiang are truly close now."
Cui Yiluo ignored Yuan Ling's sarcasm. "After all, Lord Yuan helped me before. Why don't you just tell me what you want?"
Yuan Ling stared at her in silence for a moment, seemingly contemplating how to profit from her. After a moment, he spoke with a half-smile, "Miss Cui, do you have any other medicine? Yun Yiwei has had a few tough guys come over recently. I doubt we'll be able to get any information out of them without some tricks."
Uncle Sui likes to delve into those unconventional things. He certainly has drugs that can be used for torture, but...
Cui Yiluo's voice turned cold: "Why did Master Yuan deliberately hurt my husband today?"
From below, she could clearly see Yuan Ling's ferocious attacks, far beyond the bounds of a typical duel. It was as if the two were engaged in a real fight. Jiang Yunjin had emerged victorious, but his arm had clearly been severely injured by Yuan Ling's sword strike. And this duel had been specifically initiated by Yuan Ling, who had specifically requested Jiang Yunjin.
Yuan Ling was visibly stunned for a moment, then sneered, "I hurt him on purpose?"
They had been fighting for so long, and he was well aware of Jiang Yunjin's swordsmanship. He could clearly avoid his sword, but he took it anyway, and his move was not deliberate and there was no flaw.
Very scheming.
Cui Yiluo nodded, "So, shouldn't Master Yuan send me the medicine?"
Yuan Ling laughed angrily.
-
When Cui Yiluo returned to her residence, she happened to see Imperial Physician Yang coming out with an attendant carrying a medical box. After learning that Jiang Yunjin had not suffered any bone injuries, Cui Yiluo felt relieved.
Thinking of the fact that half of his sleeve was stained with blood, Cui Yiluo quickened her pace.
But as soon as she entered the room, she was pressed against the door.
As soon as she looked up, she was suddenly met by the man's dark eyes, gloomy and full of storms. He had been bandaged and changed into clean clothes. Perhaps from the blood loss, his cold white skin had become even paler, but his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if he had returned to Qingchi Alley in those days.
Cui Yiluo frowned subconsciously: "You..."
His cold voice made the warm room feel like it had fallen into an icy cave. "Where did Luo go just now?"
Cui Yiluo understood immediately, "You sent someone to follow me?"
"Why do you want to see him?"
It was obvious that he was injured by Yuan Ling, and the blood was so conspicuous on the snow-white riding clothes, but she refused to even come back to see him. Instead, she met Yuan Ling, and it had to be Yuan Ling again.
His slender fingers slid down her small chin, across her collarbone, and finally stopped at her heart. Cui Yiluo subconsciously wanted to hide, but was pressed against the door by his powerful body, and had to endure his forceful pressure on her soft heart.
He scoffed lightly: "A Luo really doesn't have me in her heart at all."
Cui Yiluo took a deep breath and patiently explained: "I was just with him..."
Her jaw was suddenly pinched, and a strong and violent kiss came down. He skillfully pried open her teeth and elicited a soft embrace that tried to evade her. Jing Yuyi raised the corner of his lips without caring, not allowing her to refuse at all, so that she could only see him.
The more forceful he was, the more she resisted. Her wrists were easily locked by his big hands. She kicked him in resistance, but his body remained motionless as a mountain. He pressed her down and kissed her.
The man's lean hips suddenly lowered at the bend of his knees, and before Cui Yiluo could react, he grasped her hips and circled his waist. The situation was getting out of control.
The door began to vibrate again, with a familiar frequency, which made Cui Yiluo feel dizzy and as if she was in a furnace.
Behind the door was a woven carpet, with clothes piled in a chaotic manner. The crimson dress embroidered with blooming peonies on top was particularly eye-catching.
The man's taut arms were wrapped in thick, glaring white bandages, but he was as uninjured as ever, and his strength was undiminished.
He bit her earlobe and whispered in her ear: "Didn't Luo say she wouldn't see him again?"
Cui Yiluo didn't know if it was out of anger or some other reason, but she was confused and dazed, and her eyes were even more charming. Her watery eyes were vacant, but she was determined to go against him, and she turned her eyes away stubbornly, not looking at him.
She was almost mad at him.
But the more she didn't look at him, the more Jiang Yunjin wanted her to see him.
He carried her into the inner room. Cui Yiluo was afraid of falling to the ground, so her body, which had just resisted, subconsciously clung to him. She heard a low, barely suppressed groan from the man in her ears.
So we walked for a long time, and after walking for a while, we had to slow down for a while.
Cui Yiluo was so angry that she scolded him, but her voice was trembling, as if it was squeezed out from her throat with difficulty, and it was intermittent and without any momentum: "Jiang Yunjin, you lunatic."
She thought Jiang Yunjin was going to carry her to the couch, or the table, or the windowsill, or anywhere else, but she didn't expect him to carry her directly to her dressing table.
On the dressing table made of yellow pear, crabapple and twined branches, there is a diamond-shaped mirror, which is neither too big nor too small, just enough to clearly reflect the figures of the two people.
Cui Yiluo's heart trembled. She turned around and saw the situation in the mirror at a glance. The next moment, she quickly looked away as if she was scalded by boiling water.
"Are you crazy?"
That glance seemed to be etched in her heart forever. Even when she closed her eyes, she could still vividly see the man's expression in the mirror, staring intently at her tearful face, like a lotus, with countless paranoia and possession. Inexplicably, she caught a glimmer of joy from the depths of his dark eyes, which were surging with passion.
He's a lunatic!
She had read the booklets given to her by Yang Jingling and had never thought it could be like this.
There was a harsh sound of the table legs moving next to my ears. The rouge and ointment on the table had fallen to the ground due to the strong vibration. The sound was swallowed by the thick carpet, which only made the stains deeper.
Cui Yiluo noticed him leaning over slightly, pressing his back closer to hers. His low voice shook her ears: "Aluo, don't you want to look at me?"
Cui Yiluo thought his previous actions were outrageous and crazy enough, but she hadn't expected him to go even further. Her heart raced at his complete abandonment of the rules. She closed her watery eyes tightly, gritting her teeth as she protested, "I don't want to!"
Suddenly his fingers touched her neck. He pinched her neck and slightly tightened his grip. It didn't hurt, but it didn't make her feel suffocated either. He controlled the strength just right, making her look up, her little face facing the diamond-shaped mirror, her shoulders pressed against his chest.
He held her straight neck. Her skin was delicate, and the slightest pressure left marks on it.
The hand that was pinching her neck and forcing her to lift her face was not strong, but he had other ways to force her.
"Open your eyes."
Cui Yiluo was forced into a corner by him and had to open her eyes and look at her dazed appearance in the mirror. He stood behind her, taking everything in, his dark eyes becoming even darker, so dark that not a single light could enter.
So even though she opened her eyes, he did not ease the pressure, on the contrary.
He seemed to like it very much.
Cui Yiluo felt like he was driving her crazy. She resisted and scolded him, but it was of no avail. He stared at her in the mirror and didn't allow her to close her eyes. If she closed her eyes, she would be punished.
His wound had long since burst open, and the bandage was dyed redder and redder, but he seemed to be completely unaware of the pain, and his strength did not decrease at all. The sticky blood even stained Cui Yiluo's shoulder, dyeing her red. The scene was too shocking to the eyes. Cui Yiluo was so angry that she bit him, who was holding her face, and bit her index finger, which was half red, until she tasted a few traces of blood.
Finally, when Cui Yiluo was carried into the hot spring pool in the residence for washing, her legs were sore from standing. Later, she was almost held by him, with all her weight resting on him.
Jiang Yunjin always cleans very carefully. Cui Yiluo leaned on him weakly. After the whole process, she couldn't say a word.
Unexpectedly, the calm hot spring pool was stirred up by wind and waves again, like the seashore during a storm, the shore was hit by the waves and full of water marks.
Cui Yiluo stared at the unprotected blue sky, her eyes trembling with fear. Jiang Yunjin's wound had already split open, and now he was soaking in the hot spring without caring about whether it would get infected. He just wanted to merge her into his bones and blood, and never be able to leave him.
She was so angry that she lost her balance and sat on his face. She should have moved away immediately, but thinking about what had just happened, she wanted to fight back and ended up losing her strength.
But unexpectedly, he suddenly moved, and the feeling followed. Cui Yiluo was shocked. She didn't expect that he, who always liked to be clean, could endure such humiliation, but instead...
As if she was savoring the sweet drink, Cui Yiluo was so angry that she wanted to move away, but he grabbed her vital parts and made her unable to move.
When she fell into the hot spring again, Cui Yiluo finally realized that something was wrong.
"Have you seen my things?"
Jiang Yunjin did not answer.
But his expression clearly showed his assent. Cui Yiluo couldn't understand why he had discovered the box of books Yang Jingling had given her, which she had carefully kept.
Fragments of the past suddenly flashed through her mind. Because they weren't married yet, Yang Jingling had delivered the box of things to Luoyun Lane first. When it arrived, she picked up one of the books and casually flipped through it, and happened to run into Jiang Yunjin who was looking for her.
Cui Yiluo suddenly realized that he knew it then! Yet he still acted so serious and dignified, as if nothing had happened.
Cui Yiluo deliberately provoked him, but her voice could not help but break off: "Jiang Yunjin... So you... didn't follow the rules back then."
The only answer she got was the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
I don't know how long it took, until it was completely dark, Jiang Yunjin finally seemed to get some sense of security from it, or maybe he saw that she really couldn't hold on any longer, so he called off the battle.
But even in her dreams, Cui Yiluo could still feel that she was being held tightly, fearing that she would escape.
When she woke up again, it was already the middle of the night. The man holding her was breathing evenly, but Cui Yiluo knew that he had already woken up. They had known each other for a long time, and they had known each other well without knowing it.
Thinking of the madness just now, Cui Yiluo became annoyed again. Although he massaged her waist and legs for a long time after it was over, she didn't feel any soreness or discomfort at the moment, but she was still very angry.
She pushed him hard, but felt a sticky wet hand. The next moment, a soft gasp sounded in the darkness, as if it was made because of the pain.
She quickly withdrew her hand.
His wound had just split, the bandage stained red. Then, it was soaked with hot spring water, clinging to his wound, requiring immediate re-medication and bandage. But the feel of her palm told her clearly that after they were done, he simply hugged her and fell asleep, not even tending to the wound.
Cui Yiluo suppressed her anger and said, "Go light the lamp and reapply the medicine."
She couldn't see his face in the darkness, but she could clearly hear his sneer. His voice was stubborn, yet tinged with a hint of loss and grievance: "I don't need his medicine."

Broken Branches - Fake Bones + Robbery
Mingjin has lost her memory.
When she woke up, there was a man beside her who was taking care of her day and night.
The man was as gentle as jade, and with a kind smile he told her, "Jin Jin, I am your husband."
Mingjin didn't believe it at first.
But the man was extremely patient with her amnesia: when she wanted to meet some people she had known in the past to regain her memory, he would accompany her on a three-day carriage ride to meet them;
When she woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, she found him standing outside the door, and after that he waited until she fell asleep before leaving the room.
She felt resistant to him as her sudden husband, and although his eyes were full of hurt, he gave her enough time to adapt.
Moreover, he was born with a handsome face and was unparalleled in beauty. He was probably the most handsome man Ming Jin had ever seen.
There was no need for such a good-looking man to lie to her, she thought.
When it comes to intimacy, he also gently guides her, allowing her to gradually adapt, just like his usual personality.
Only at the very end did he reveal his dominance and possessiveness, as if he wanted to tear her apart and devour her.
But after the fierceness, he apologized to her and turned back into the gentle gentleman he used to be.
The days went on like this, and Ming Jin felt that even if she could not recover her memory, it didn't matter. It was enough to have him by her side.
Until she remembered everything.
It turned out that the man was not her husband at all, but her brother, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, Wei Heng.
He was a madman who called her sister while smiling gently, and at the same time imprisoned her in the palace, locked her up, forced her to endure his demands every day, and threatened her to never leave him in this life.
-
She is a fake princess, a pawn used to replace the real princess.
On the day her identity was revealed, she went to ask for help from her brother who had always treated her kindly and generously.
The man stroked her hair gently as he did when they were children and responded gently.
Then, he lured her step by step into the big net that had been woven specifically for her.
Ming Jin couldn't possibly stay with Wei Heng and do something that goes against human ethics.
She pretended that her memory had not been restored, deceived Wei Heng, and escaped late one night.
After getting on the boat, Mingjin completely put her mind at ease.
From then on, she had no relationship with Wei Heng anymore.
Suddenly, the ship shook and the door was knocked open.
With his back to the thick night, Wei Heng, dressed in a black python robe, approached step by step. His usually gentle face became gloomy and dark, and his eyes were filled with coldness, like a nightmare demon crawling out of hell.
He walked step by step to Ming Jin's side, grabbed her in his arms and held her captive, skillfully putting on a pure smile:
"Have you had enough fun, sister? If you have, come home with your brother."
-
Ming Jin was once again imprisoned in a palace without sunlight.
Late at night, the sound of the golden bell continued to swing violently.
He kissed her lips tenderly and passionately, his eyes full of crazy paranoia, and whispered:
"Sister, you said you would stay with your brother forever."
