Chapter 512 A Sea of Handsome Men?
Chi Heng pointed to her nose: "She said I'm annoying?"
He looked at Sun Wen beside him in disbelief.
Sun Wen paused for a moment: "Ahem, sir, just now, when I saw the Grand Preceptor, the guards beside the princess also saw him."
Chi Heng rolled her eyes: "Then what are you waiting for? Follow me!"
Without saying a word, he followed after them.
At this moment, the young princess and Yuchuan, who were standing at the foot of the wall, peered out. They saw an old man ahead, dressed in a dark cotton-linen robe that clashed with his surroundings. He walked with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune and swaying leisurely forward. As he walked, he looked around, seemingly in a very good mood.
The young princess and Yu Chuan exchanged a glance, about to follow, when they were suddenly bumped. Turning around, they saw Chi Heng and the other person also approaching.
The young princess was so angry she wanted to curse, but the next second, Chi Heng covered her mouth with his hand.
Chi Heng glared at her, shushed her, and pointed ahead. Seeing the old man turn around in a daze, the group shrank back in fright.
After a while, when they heard no movement, Chi Heng and the others poked their heads out again.
"At this hour, what is the Imperial Advisor going to do? The direction he's heading... could he be going to the palace?"
The young princess frowned and shook off Chi Heng's hand: "Why don't we follow them and see for ourselves?"
Hearing this, Chi Heng nodded. The two of them strangely developed a tacit understanding and quietly followed each other.
"This isn't the way to the palace. This... the Imperial Advisor..."
Chi Heng's words were abruptly cut off the next second.
At the same time, the eyes of the young princess and the others also showed a hint of fear.
Before the little princess could scream, Chi Heng quickly covered her mouth.
The angry princess pushed him away forcefully and said in a low voice, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Then, he patted his chest twice and looked ahead again. He couldn't help but swallow hard.
"The distant mountains are desolate!"
"I'm not seeing things, am I?!"
The young princess shook her head repeatedly.
Chi Heng's brows furrowed tightly. Xiao Nianjun, that fool, was naturally not mistaken, because he had seen it too.
The Imperial Preceptor stood with his hands behind his back in the distance, while Xiao Yuanshan, holding a fan, approached from afar and greeted him with a smile.
The two were standing very close, appearing quite intimate.
They seemed to be saying something. The Grand Preceptor had been poisoned and lost all his power. It wouldn't be a problem for them to follow, but now that Xiao Yuanshan was ahead, Chi Heng dared not get close and couldn't hear what the two were saying.
Even so, it is still alarming.
The two stared at each other in silence for a while before exchanging a glance.
They both saw a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.
"What do we do now? Should we go save the Imperial Advisor?" the young princess asked. "What if Xiao Yuanshan tries something drastic?"
"Save my ass! Save me!" Chi Heng was genuinely surprised that the little princess was thinking of this: "Xiao Yuanshan is a disciple of the Imperial Advisor. Are you out of your mind? They're in cahoots, plotting to harm us!"
The young princess frowned: "Is that so?"
Chi Heng's eyes widened: "Isn't that right!"
The next second, seeing the little princess still hesitating, Chi Heng grabbed her and ran away.
"Hurry, we need to go and inform Ah Rong and his wife that there's a traitor in the family!"
As Chi Heng walked, she muttered to herself, "Thank goodness I found out, otherwise I wouldn't even know how I died."
As he walked, his pupils suddenly contracted: "Could it be that the Imperial Advisor wasn't sick at all... And what about A-Rong's poison? Could it also be the Imperial Advisor's doing? Yes, that poison was developed by the Imperial Advisor."
Upon hearing his words, the other three men all turned ashen-faced.
Then, the group stopped arguing and ran headlong into Jiang Nuanzhi's residence.
...
Achoo!
Just as Jiang Nuanzhi finished getting the needles, she suddenly sneezed.
Li Rong, who had been watching her closely, pulled her cloak tighter around her: "Are you cold?"
Jiang Nuanzhi shook her head: "It's nothing."
Then, wiping the sweat from his forehead, he put away the last few needles in Wei Ke's chest, took a breath, and said, "Most of the poison has been cleared from him. There are still some residual toxins left. After he recovers for a while, I will clear them twice more, and then he will be fine."
Wei Ke was now awake, and the black marks on his lips had faded somewhat. However, he still looked somewhat listless. He stood up and bowed to Jiang Nuanzhi, saying, "Wei Ke thanks Madam. I will repay your kindness today in the future."
Jiang Nuanzhi waved her hand casually: "Why are you being so polite? Since you and A Rong are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together, I will treat you as family as well. Let's not say such formal things, lest we hurt our feelings."
It must be said, the characters in this book are truly handsome. Wei Ke, as the biggest helper to the main villain Li Junping, has a face that rivals Xie Liangchen's. His delicate features are even more exquisite than a woman's.
Jiang Nuanzhi strongly suspects that the original author of this book is a super looks-obsessed person.
Leaving aside Xie Liangchen, his own Ping'er, and the appearances of Li Rong and Chi Heng, even the young men like Lü Shizhu and Sanqi were all handsome and refined.
Jiang Nuanzhi was surrounded by incredibly handsome men, each one exceptionally good-looking. Why did she get married right after transmigrating? Otherwise, she could have...
Just as he was lost in thought, he saw Li Rong's handsome face suddenly magnified as he looked at him with concern.
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked twice.
Hmm, it seems like it's not a bad deal.
It wasn't a wasted trip, it really wasn't a wasted trip.
"Anuan? Are you tired? Has this acupuncture treatment damaged your vital energy?" Li Rong looked over with some concern.
Wei Ke also looked over, his expression showing some worry.
He had heard that the general had married a country girl, and he felt extremely humiliated.
I did see her earlier, but I didn't have much contact with her. I just felt that she wasn't such a vulgar and stupid woman, which made me feel a little better. At least I knew that the general wasn't forced to marry her under duress.
But now, looking at the woman before him, her beauty was exquisite. Though dressed in ordinary clothes, she stood there like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley, as if a single glance could calm the mind. At this moment, standing side by side with the godlike general, there was an indescribable sense of perfect harmony between them.
You see, in the past, even princesses and noblewomen standing before the general felt unworthy of him. This was the first time he felt someone could stand shoulder to shoulder with the general.
He never expected that his sister-in-law would so calmly and effortlessly cure Regent Xiao Yuanshan of his poison.
At that moment, he felt extremely fortunate.
In a daze, he realized that perhaps, if the general hadn't met his sister-in-law in the wilderness, his best outcome would have been like Qin Lin's—that he would never be able to stand up again.
"It's alright, I'll be fine after a while." Jiang Nuanzhi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the two of them, but she just smiled and said, "I've already written down the prescription. Just be careful and follow the instructions on this for your daily diet. After you recover for a while, you'll be able to eat delicious food."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ke nodded solemnly: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I will remember this."
Then, thinking of tomorrow's events, he frowned deeply and said with considerable worry, "General, your wife's medical skills are superb. If you go to the banquet tomorrow, you must be extremely careful of Xiao."
"Wei Ke!"
Li Rong suddenly interrupted Wei Ke.
Jiang Nuanzhi and Wei Ke both looked over, but Li Rong only lowered his eyes slightly and softened his voice: "You're not feeling well, so you should sleep a little longer. Don't worry about such trivial matters."
I dreamt that my pet was sick and wouldn't get better, and then Anuan suddenly popped up from the computer and said, "Give me the protagonist's halo, and I guarantee the illness will be cured by tomorrow."
I said, "Once it's cured, I'll give you ten more."
This morning when I woke up, the two little ones were really better. They weren't having diarrhea or vomiting, and they were eating really well.
But let's leave the halo thing for now. We're like mother and daughter, aren't we?
