Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Gu Shi gradually became numb
"No, really no, I'm scared..."
Lingchuan is not afraid of drinking medicine, but she is very afraid of foreign objects getting into her eyes. In the season when willow catkins are floating, she always wears a veil covered with white gauze before going out.
Gu Shi wiped the potion that fell on her face with her hand and complained:
"Just bear with it for a moment."
He touched her eyes with his fingers again, and she drew back sharply.
"I can do it myself... I don't need you to help me..."
She took the small white bottle tremblingly and poured a small drop into her eyes, and her eyes blinked uncontrollably.
"Hey, it's just a potion, and you're hesitating for so long. You just made up your mind and dropped it in. Can you do it?"
Gu Shi sighed.
Lingchuan tried hard to recall where she had put the small bottle containing the fake death drug... She remembered that she filled the empty bottle with ink and put a pill in it, but what happened after that?
She didn't want to be discovered with any clues, so she had to find an opportunity to tell Qin Sizhao that the fake death drug had been moved away.
What would happen if Gu Shi knew that she wanted to fake her death and escape?
Lingchuan didn't know and didn't want to know.
She heard a knock on the door and then saw Qin Sizhao walk in.
He also looked a little haggard, with the corners of his eyes drooping slightly and a dark spot under his eyes.
"We need to bleed now. Your Majesty, please step aside for a moment."
"I'm fine."
Gu Shi felt a little unhappy when someone pointed out his blood phobia.
"One patient is already exhausting, and I don't want to take on another. Since Your Majesty is afraid of blood, please don't be so stubborn. Please step aside."
Lingchuan stared at Gu Shi and asked:
"What's wrong? Gu Shi, are you afraid of blood?"
The corners of her mouth pulled up into a gloating smile. She really didn't expect that this guy would faint at the sight of blood.
Gu Shi's face suddenly turned red.
"It's just a minor problem, nothing serious."
Lingchuan was so happy that she covered her mouth to hold back her laughter, but she was still sick, and this made her start coughing non-stop.
“Cough cough cough…”
Gu Shi had no choice but to pat her on the back.
"Ahem...Gu Shi, if you're afraid of blood, just go out and wait. It's okay."
"Your Majesty, bloodletting can relieve coughs. Please step out for a moment."
Qin Sizhao had already taken out the silver needle with a cold glow. Seeing this, Gu Shi's heart tightened and he had to walk out of the room.
But after going out, he suspected that Qin Sizhao would take this opportunity to secretly get close to Lingchuan, so he put his ear to the door.
Qin Sizhao said nothing, asked Lingchuan to sit up, and reached out to pinch the tip of her ear.
"I need to pierce the acupoint on your ear, bear with it."
He whispered.
Qin Sizhao looked into her eyes. He had a pair of watery peach blossom eyes. Because he didn't get enough rest, there was a wrinkle on his double eyelids, which pressed his eyes down and there was a dark spot under his eyes.
The heat from his fingers came from her ears. She didn't dare to look into his eyes anymore. Her face flushed red and she could only lower her head and look at her hands that were nervously rubbing together.
"Um……"
His technique was steady, accurate and ruthless, but she only groaned softly and didn't even feel much pain.
Now was not the time to be nervous about him getting too close, so she quickly dug out her previous memories from her mind and took this opportunity to pour them all out to him.
She leaned over to his ear and whispered:
"The medicine you gave me earlier has been sent out for testing..."
Lingchuan frowned.
"I'm afraid of implicating you. Why don't you resign immediately? I won't die anyway."
Qin Sizhao just smiled.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid."
Lingchuan was stunned. Was he really not afraid, or was he just trying to comfort her?
She frowned and whispered angrily:
"Qin Sizhao, don't be stupid! I don't want to see you die!"
Gu Shi put his ear to the door, trying to eavesdrop, not missing any details.
He clearly heard Lingchuan first talk about some medicine, and then persuade him to resign.
Qin Sizhao had countless bottles and jars of medicine, but he didn't care to know about them.
He should really resign. After all, he was coveting the emperor's wife, and he had completely offended the country's top leader.
He would be happy if he handed him his resignation.
He sneered and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Qin Sizhao looked at Lingchuan with a smile using his peach blossom eyes that looked charming due to fatigue.
He sat on her bed, picked up the vial of potion, and motioned for her to lie on his lap.
Lingchuan blushed and began to stutter:
"This... this isn't good..."
"It's just a normal eye drop. It's within the rules. You're most afraid of getting something in your eye, right?"
"How do you even know this..."
"When you were a kid, you got stung by a wasp on your eyelid. Your eye swelled up like a giant lump, and no one could apply medicine to it. They said you were struggling like a live fish, and no one could stop you. But you insisted on asking me to apply medicine to you."
He smiled slightly, his tone filled with nostalgia and a hint of irretrievable sadness.
Lingchuan said timidly:
"I don't remember..."
He looked at her with a smile, as if every glance would be one less.
"Lie down, it's okay."
She lifted her black hair and lay on his thighs.
"It's all dripping."
"Huh, so fast?"
Lingchuan sat up directly. Before she had time to feel embarrassed, it was over?
She blinked, and her eyes did feel moist and comfortable, without any discomfort. How did he drip the medicine in?
"A Zhao, you are really amazing."
She couldn't help but say.
"Sister Rong'er, you are so kind."
Lingchuan suddenly remembered that he called her like this when they were little.
She suddenly had a strange intuition that if she didn't apologize now, she would never have the chance to apologize to him again.
"A Zhao, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone... You've suffered so much over the years."
"Why blame yourself? You're still a child."
Qin Sizhao looked at her sincerely. When he saw her eyes, he knew that Lingchuan had suffered no less than he had.
Over the years, he traveled far and wide to inquire about her whereabouts. After confirming that she was taken in by the prince's palace and recognized as his sister, he immediately began to prepare for the imperial examination, not daring to delay for a second.
He knew in his heart that Lingchuan's personality would not allow him to survive long in the imperial family, just like a golden cage cannot keep the most ordinary sparrow alive.
This drowning was a result of some kind of misfortune, and he wanted to take her home...
As soon as Gu Shi walked out of the hall, Jinzhan waited outside nervously.
As soon as she heard that Lingchuan fell into the water, she hurried back immediately and no longer cared about taking a vacation.
Oh my god, this is no small matter. If anything happens to Lingchuan, and Gu Shi goes crazy, all these small fry will suffer.
"Your Majesty, how is the Queen?"
She looked anxious, not worried about her life, but worried about her own life.
"It's all fine now. This is all thanks to Qin Sizhao."
Gu Shi sneered.
Qin Sizhao... Jinzhan felt a chill on the back of her neck when she heard this name.
Is this person having an affair with Lingchuan... The person she heard asking Gu Shi for marriage in public that day seemed to be him, right?
Cold sweat streamed down her forehead. Her husband's wife was saved by her lover. This was earth-shattering gossip. She really didn't know what to say.
Gu Shi snorted coldly:
"Pick out a few of the most beautiful palace maids and have them serve him well. This will be considered a reward for him."
Even if Qin Sizhao didn't have anything happen with those palace maids, it would be good to annoy Lingchuan.
Jinzhan immediately understood what he meant, put on a fawning smile, and said with a nod and a bow:
"Your Majesty is wise and wise. I will take care of it."
"Hey... stop yelling. He needs to treat Lingchuan right now. It wouldn't be good if he was delayed by all this mess. Let's just forget it."
However, thinking that Lingchuan might be depressed because of Qin Sizhao, Gu Shi rescinded his order.
Lingchuan's face was pale, and the sight of him lying motionless on the bed caused him great psychological trauma.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he would imagine her lying in the coffin with her swollen skin. He felt as if he were drowning and could hardly breathe.
The more Gu Shi thought about it, the more scared he became. If Qin Sizhao hadn't had feelings for her, he would have only gotten a corpse.
He really couldn't bear her being in any danger. Compared with the pain of losing Lingchuan and becoming a widower, even if she really had an affair with Qin Sizhao, it became less unacceptable.
Gu Shi found that his bottom line was broken by Lingchuan again and again, but he could only draw the bottom line lower and lower.
"Yes, Madam's health is the most important thing...I should go and see her too."
"Well, go check on her for me."
Gu Shi now wants to be alone for a while to sort out his lost mood.
From today onwards, Lingchuan will no longer have only him in her heart.
Before Jinzhan walked in, she took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally.
Later, no matter what she saw, whether it was a hug, a kiss, or something more excessive... she would just pretend not to see it.
"Miss Lingchuan, I'm here to see you!"
Before opening the door, Jinzhan deliberately raised her voice to give Lingchuan time to react.
“Ahem…”
She walked in and glanced at Lingchuan awkwardly. She wasn't really in dishevel, but the atmosphere seemed a little off... Even she, a widower for thousands of years, could smell the ambiguity.
"Miss Lingchuan, I heard that you drowned. Are you feeling better now?"
She placed a plate of cut pears on the table, covered with a layer of glistening honey, making it look crystal clear.
Lingchuan naturally looked at Qin Sizhao and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Isn't that honey layer on top a little sweet? Can I eat it now?"
"It's okay, eating something sweet will make you feel better."
He handed the plate of pears to Lingchuan.
Jinzhan got goosebumps all over her body.
Oh my god, how can it be so corny???
She's still here.
This will make Gu Shi grow a few more white hairs...
