Chapter 61: Applying Medicine
Yun Wan watched Chuntang's departing back until he could no longer see her, then he turned around and went back to the house with his things.
The moment the door closed, a faint voice came from behind:
"mosquito?"
"Is the biting mosquito that Madam is talking about me?"
Yun Wan paused, a trace of guilt filling her brows. She explained in a gentle voice, "It's just an excuse. Why did you take it so seriously?"
A faint smile appeared on her lips, and her brows were gentle, looking so real.
Emperor Jingxuan chuckled lightly, "I don't take it seriously. I'm afraid that in Madam's eyes, I'm no different from a biting mosquito."
At this moment, he was occupying Yun Wan's bed, with one leg bent, his posture lazy and elegant, making the already small Luohan bed seem even more cramped.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Yun Wan. His deep eyes were sharp and cold, as if he could see through people's hearts at a glance.
Yun Wan was a little embarrassed, smiled and didn't respond.
What can I do if she doesn't admit it?
Knowing that she was cunning, Emperor Jingxuan was too lazy to ask her any more questions. He curled his lips in self-mockery.
As a result, the wound on the corner of his lip caused a drop of blood to flow out unexpectedly, looking like a bright red cinnabar mole.
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Your mouth is bleeding!"
Emperor Jingxuan raised his hand and wiped it, and indeed blood came out. He raised his eyebrows and didn't care.
In comparison, Yun Wan was much more nervous than him. She quickly took out a clean handkerchief to help him wipe the blood stains from the corners of his lips and the bloodstains on the back of his hands.
Staring at the tiny scar, Yun Wan thought for a moment and asked softly, "Could it be...the bite I just gave you?"
It seems that this is the only explanation, otherwise why would his mouth break for no reason?
But she remembered that she only took a bite.
Emperor Jingxuan snorted coldly, his expression half-smiling, "Madam, you have sharp teeth."
No matter how reckless he was, he never hurt her at all, but she bit him mercilessly, leaving him with such a wound on his mouth. How could he face the court officials like this?
Realizing that he had done something that had damaged the dragon's body, Yun Wan felt a chill in his heart and knelt down to admit his mistake without saying a word:
"It is Yun Wan's fault that the Holy Saint was injured, but it was definitely not intentional. I hope you will forgive me!"
Everything else could be considered a trivial matter, but Yun Wan, who had read the palace rules, knew very well that if the matter was investigated, she would be beaten with a stick for biting Emperor Jingxuan, so she knelt down very decisively and admitted her mistake.
This action made Emperor Jingxuan's face suddenly darken.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard her timidly say, "But then again, this isn't entirely Yun Wan's fault..."
If he hadn't refused to let her go, Yun Wan wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure to prevent Chuntang from discovering the existence of Emperor Jingxuan.
But she didn't expect her teeth to be so sharp, and she accidentally bit him.
Seeing that she seemed timid but was actually very confident, Emperor Jingxuan sighed and his expression softened a little.
Reaching out and pulling her up from the ground, he chuckled, "This little cut will heal by tomorrow. I'm not petty. Why are you so serious, Madam?"
Following his strength to stand up, and hearing his words, Yun Wan pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After glancing at her gentle features, Emperor Jingxuan changed from pulling to holding, grasped her wrist bone, and brought her to his side.
"Just now you were so brave, eloquent, and could tell lies easily. How come you've become a quail now?"
Yun Wan didn't know how to answer. She looked up at the obvious small wound, then broke free from the shackles and entered the inner room.
When she came out again, she was holding a porcelain bottle in her hand. She walked up to Emperor Jingxuan and said, "I will apply medicine for you."
Emperor Jingxuan was tall, and when the two of them stood together, Yun Wan was a full head shorter than him, so when she spoke she needed to tilt her head back to see his eyes and the expression on his face.
Emperor Jingxuan suddenly felt that Yun Wan was extremely cute, especially when she stared at him and said she was going to apply medicine to him.
My heart was like a calm lake, and suddenly my lady rushed in, picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it into the lake.
In an instant, ripples appeared on the stagnant surface of the lake, forming circles after circles.
He opened his lips, his voice slightly hoarse: "Okay."
Yun Wan opened the porcelain lid, picked up a piece of light-colored cream and brought it close to him. She bent her fingertips and applied the medicine to the corner of his lips.
The soft fingertips gently rubbed in circles, and the warmth melted the ointment, turning it transparent.
She moved gently and looked serious, as if she was completing something extremely important. Everything around her became slow and silent.
"Okay, it should scab over by tomorrow."
Yun Wan withdrew her hand, her eyes full and clear.
With his Adam's apple moving, Emperor Jingxuan glanced at the bright moon hanging high outside the window and said, "It's getting late. I should go back."
Yun Wan nodded and made way for him.
As he stepped out of the door, Emperor Jingxuan suddenly turned around, his eyes raised, "Madam, is there anything you want to say to me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yun Wan blinked and said, "Your Majesty, please be careful on the road?"
Emperor Jingxuan's thick eyebrows suddenly gathered together, as if he was dissatisfied, but he said nothing and looked at her deeply with a calm gaze.
Standing there, watching him walk away, Yun Wan was slightly stunned.
When Emperor Jingxuan was about to step out of the courtyard, she suddenly said, "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
After saying this, she turned around and went back to the house. She came out again soon, lifted her skirt and caught up with Emperor Jingxuan, and stuffed the thing in her hand into him:
"This is a scented pill I made by reading ancient books. It might help relieve your headache."
"I still haven't figured out the incense you asked me to imitate last time. I hope you can forgive me."
"It's getting late, please go back quickly!"
After saying all this in one go, Yun Wan didn't even look at his reaction. She turned around and quickly went back to the house, slamming the door shut.
........
In front of the Zichen Palace, Jiang Fusheng was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking worried.
When His Majesty left before sunset, he didn't allow anyone to follow him. He guessed with a simple guess that his master was going to look for Madam Lu.
It was almost two hours later and it was getting dark, but His Majesty had not returned yet. Jiang Fusheng was worried that Emperor Jingxuan would stay at Madam Lu's house tonight and not come back.
While he was worried, he caught a glimpse of a dark golden color out of the corner of his eye, and Jiang Fusheng's frown instantly relaxed.
"Your Majesty! You are finally back!"
Emperor Jingxuan glanced at him, handed over a carved wooden box, and said lightly: "Go and change it."
Jiang Fusheng took it carefully and asked, "What is this?"
His eyes moved slightly, revealing a hint of warmth, and Emperor Jingxuan slowly curled his lips: "Madam felt sorry for me because of my headache, so she specially read ancient books and made incense, and took the initiative to give it to me."
Jiang Fusheng groaned and said with a smile, "It seems that Madam Lu is always thinking about Your Majesty. Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
This made sense. Emperor Jingxuan was very pleased and waved his hand:
"reward!"
