Chapter 82: Fat "Hmm... Shushu seems to be a little heavier than before. ...
On the third day of the Gu induction, the Baohua Temple had already prepared a heater, and the smoke from mugwort wrapped in the aroma of medicine filled the air.
Xiao Yu had not slept all night and was now sitting on the edge of the couch. His slender palm tightly grasped the hand of the girl on the couch, and his fingertips repeatedly stroked the purple needle marks on her wrist. The sinister look in his eyes was even more intense because of the worry he had all night, but when he touched her pale little face, he forcibly suppressed the gloomy air.
"Your Majesty, the time has come." Zhou Tong, who was standing aside, immediately reminded.
Miao Gu took out the fumigated silver needles, and Qingtao brought the medicine that had been boiled long ago to Yan Shu.
"Today's bloodletting will remove all remaining poison. Your Majesty, there's no need to endure the pain any longer. Drink this Ma Fei San, and you'll be able to sleep peacefully."
Xiao Yu took the medicine bowl and scooped it out with a spoon himself. There was a dark and pitying look in his eyes when he tested the temperature. When he fed it to Yan Shu's lips, his voice was very gentle.
"Shushu, be good and drink the medicine. I'll be here with you."
Yan Shu was already weak from the pain of the poison in her body, and now, hearing Xiao Yu's gentle coaxing voice, she obediently drank the medicine in small sips.
The effect of Ma Fei San came quickly, and soon the girl fell asleep in Xiao Yu's arms, with a few crystal tears hanging on her eyelashes like a palm leaf fan.
When Miao Gu took out the silver needle and inserted it into the acupoint, Xiao Yu held his breath and stared at it the whole time. His big bony palm was clenched tightly, and the back of his hand was white and the veins were exposed. If he hadn't been concerned about the person on the couch, he would hardly have been able to bear it.
His Shushu, the little girl who would act coquettishly and ask him for comfort even if she got a little scratched, endured the heart-wrenching pain for three days for him.
When the silver needle was raised, a dark red drop of blood flowed down Yan Shu's fingertips and slowly dripped into the porcelain white cup. About half of the cup was filled, and Miao Gu nodded.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. The blood parasite in the queen's body has been removed. You can drink the blood now."
Xiao Yu did not respond, but carefully picked up Yan Shu and carried her sideways, sitting her on the cushioned couch, letting her lean steadily in his arms, and then bent his long fingers to gently wipe away the cold sweat on her pale little face.
After a long time, Yan Shu woke up in the familiar scent of cedar. She opened her thin eyelids heavily and looked up, meeting Xiao Yusheng's dark eyes filled with pity.
"Awake?" He immediately lowered his head, his voice hoarse from having just calmed down.
Miao Gu, who was standing by, stepped forward to feel Yan Shu's pulse. After she finished, her face lit up with joy and she immediately stepped forward with a smile.
"The Queen is celebrating a double happiness. I would like to congratulate both the Queen and the King."
Yan Shu blinked blankly, then listened to Miao Gu continue.
"The King's blood parasites were originally fed by the blood of his heart. They roamed in the Queen's body for three days. Those parasites, carrying the blood of the King's heart and lungs, just happened to cure the Hehuan parasite in the Queen's body."
These words instantly broke Yan Shu's drowsiness. She was stunned for a moment, and then past memories suddenly emerged in her mind.
When Miao Gu was treating her in the past, she told her that there were only two ways to cure the Hehuan Gu: either get pregnant and give birth to a child, or drink the blood of the one you love.
But at that time she thought that the second solution was nonsense and did not believe it much.
Who would have thought that the blood parasite she induced to save Xiao Yu would, in this accidental way, also cure her love parasite at the same time.
Miao Gu made great contributions this time, so Qingtao took her away to receive her reward.
It was snowing heavily outside.
At this moment, there were only two people in the hall, leaning against each other.
"That's great, I don't have to worry anymore..." Yan Shu's voice trembled, and her eyes began to feel slightly sore again.
Some are aggrieved, but more are happy.
She reached out and hugged her lover's neck tightly, buried her little face in his neck and rubbed it. Tears seeped down his neck and wet his clothes.
Yan Shu didn't know why she was crying.
Perhaps it was because I felt that after all the hard work, there was finally sweetness, or perhaps it was because I felt that I was really suffering, but the grievances and worries of the past few days turned into tears at this moment.
Xiao Yu tightened his arms and held Yan Shu tightly in his arms, his sharp chin resting against the top of the girl's head, his dark eyes filled with pity.
He bent down and gently kissed her thin eyelids that were slightly swollen from crying, then lifted up the girl's hand that had just been bled. The darkness in his eyes in the past now turned into pity.
"Does your hand still hurt?"
Hearing the voice, Yan Shu followed his gaze and looked at her finger which still had a little blood scab.
Although it didn't hurt anymore, perhaps because the blood parasite had been released, Yan Shu started to "act tough" again, so she raised the finger and shook it in front of Xiao Yu's eyes.
"It hurts, can you blow it for me?" The girl's cat-like eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
Seeing that Yan Shu had finally regained her former lively self, Xiao Yu felt a little relieved from the depression in his heart.
He gently pinched the little queen's finger, lowered his eyes, and blew on it gently, carefully and tenderly.
Yan Shu was stunned for a moment when she saw that Xiao Yu was so obedient.
The tip of her finger felt a little itchy from his blowing, so Yan Shu wanted to withdraw her hand, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of the small cup of blood on the small table. She was stunned for a moment and spoke anxiously.
"Why don't you drink this blood? Drink it quickly, and your Gu will be completely cured."
Yan Shu immediately picked up the cup and handed it to Xiao Yu, staring at him with her big dark eyes.
Xiao Yu looked at the blood in the cup, and his dark eyes were filled with darkness.
In the past, when the blood parasite attacked, he drank snake blood like a monster that ate raw meat and drank blood.
But he didn't care at that time.
It doesn't matter if you're hated or feared.
But at this moment, when he was about to drink Shushu's blood, Xiao Yu's eyes were full of hesitation.
As if she noticed Xiao Yu's hesitation, Yan Shu raised her head and kissed the side of his cheek, urging him softly.
"Drink it quickly! Don't waste my blood! I've been in pain for three days because of this cup of blood."
Listening to Yan Shu's tone which was half coquettish and half complaining.
Xiao Yu knew that she was comforting him, so he lowered his eyes and kissed the girl's fair forehead, then decisively drank the cup of blood.
The snow was still falling outside, and the charcoal fire in the hall was burning brightly, making bursts of crackling sounds.
Xiao Yu held the girl in his arms, feeling her warm breath on his neck, and felt that all the darkness in his heart for the past twenty years was dispelled at this moment.
He once thought that he was destined to walk alone in the Avici Hell in this life. It was his Shushu who broke into his world with her bright and innocent appearance, and with her gentleness and firmness, pulled him back from hell to the world.
…
After the blood parasite was removed, Yan Shu's health recovered quickly.
Xiao Yu was worried about the damage that the previous introduction of the poison into Yan Shu's body would cause. He was relieved only after asking the medical officer to confirm again and again that the girl was fine.
But Yan Shu still had to eat and drink a lot of supplements every day, so by the first month of the year, the girl's face had become a lot rounder.
When Yan Shu got up this morning and was dressing up, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror and naturally found that she seemed to have gained weight.
So she held her chin and looked left and right. After seeing that she seemed to have really become fatter, she pouted unhappily.
"Qingtao, do you think I've gained weight?"
Qingtao was tying Yan Shu's hair. Hearing this, she raised her eyes, glanced at the beauty in the glasses, and replied with a smile.
"Princess, you're joking. You're not fat at all. You're still very beautiful."
In fact, Qingtao was not lying.
The girl's skin was as white and tender as a snow-white dumpling, her lips were rosy and tender, so moist that honey could drip out of them, and her cat-like eyes were clear and sparkling with a hint of moisture, and her gaze was full of cuteness and innocence.
Yan Shu's black hair was so shiny and smooth that it could reflect a person's figure. Now she looked so plump and smooth, and she looked more lively and energetic than before when she was weak.
Yan Shu's ears blushed at Qingtao's praise, and she raised her hand to stroke her cheek.
When he looked into the bronze mirror again, he saw that the person in the mirror had a radiant complexion. Her dark, moist eyes held the freshness of recovery. The haggardness previously caused by the Gu-induced pain had vanished without a trace, and instead, a hint of innocent beauty had been added.
The girl pursed her lips and smiled lightly at herself in the mirror. The awkwardness in her heart gradually dissipated, and she felt relaxed all over.
After Qingtao had tied her hair into a bun, Yan Shu stood up to change her skirt. She grasped the belt with her fingertips and tied it around her waist, but found that the belt, which she could tie easily in the past, was a little tight today.
She paused, lowered her head and nervously touched the soft flesh on her waist, and her thin eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly.
Qingtao naturally noticed something was wrong with Yan Shu and immediately spoke to comfort her.
"Princess, don't think too much. Perhaps the hem of your skirt has shrunk a little due to the water. Your figure is just right, you don't look fat at all."
After Qingtao said that, she immediately stepped forward to help adjust it.
Yan Shu shook her head, put her hand on her waist, bit her lip and whispered in anger.
"It's not because of the clothes. I must have eaten too much recently. I really gained weight."
No, she had to move.
Otherwise, after some time, when the weather gets warmer and her clothes become thinner, she won't be able to hide her flesh even if she wants to.
So Yan Shu made up her mind immediately and started taking action today.
After Qingtao found a scarlet silk jacket for her that was easy to move in, Yan Shu took her to the courtyard of Baohua Palace to search together.
The snow in the courtyard had long been swept away by the palace maids, leaving only a few bright red plum blossoms in the corner of the wall.
At this moment, two palace maids were pulling the hemp rope and swinging it, while Yan Shu lifted her skirt and stood on tiptoe. Her crimson figure was jumping lightly back and forth on the rope, like a fluttering butterfly, and she had not missed a single jump after hundreds of times.
The maids serving beside her praised the queen's extraordinary skills in seeing through things.
Yan Shu was also dancing with great enthusiasm. After two quarters of an hour, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and neck, and two blushes appeared on her fair and smooth face. As she was smiling and continuing to dance, she suddenly heard steady footsteps behind her.
The palace maids who were pulling the ropes all knelt down and saluted.
Yan Shu turned her head and saw Xiao Yu wearing a dark green brocade robe, standing in the corridor, looking at her with his eyes narrowed, his dark eyes full of smiles.
She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her snow-white face flushed, and she ran towards Xiao Yu with a smile on her face.
"Why are you here?"
The young king took a step forward and naturally took her hand. His fingertips touched the thin sweat on her tender palm and asked in a gentle voice.
"Why are you in the mood to talk today?"
Hearing this, Yan Shu immediately felt embarrassed and said, "Isn't it because I've gained weight recently? If I don't exercise, by the time spring comes, the fat on my belly won't be hidden anymore."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked down at her carefully, reached out and pinched her blushing cheek, and smiled: "How are you fat? I think you are just right."
"You just know how to coax me." Yan Shu glared at him and reached out to touch her waist. "When I changed clothes today, the waistband of my skirt was tight. I must have gained weight."
Xiao Yu chuckled softly, and the smile in his dark eyes deepened.
"Really? Let me see."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young king bent down, picked up the queen who was complaining that she had gained weight, and then held her in his arms and rocked her.
Yan Shu exclaimed and hurriedly hugged his neck, then saw Xiao Yu frowning.
"Hmm... Shushu seems to be a little heavier than before."
Yan Shu suddenly became nervous and asked him anxiously, "Are you serious? How much heavier?"
She thought to herself, Xiao Yu held her in his arms every day and knew her weight best. If he said she was heavier, then she must have really gained weight.
Xiao Yu looked at the nervous look of the little girl, and the smile in his narrow eyes could no longer be hidden. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear in a teasing tone.
"It weighs about one pound and seven or eight ounces."
"What? I've gained so much weight!" Yan Shu's face instantly fell and she struggled to get off him.
"No, I have to dance for a while longer. I have to lose all this fat."
However, Xiao Yu hugged her tightly, turned around and walked towards the inner hall, smiling and comforting her.
"One pound and seven or eight ounces is nothing. Even if it's heavier, I can still carry it. Besides, you're not fat to begin with, so there's no need to lose weight."
Yan Shu refused to give in. She twisted in Xiao Yu's arms, twisting his arm and complaining to him, "It's all your fault! You made the kitchen cook so many delicious dishes every day, and you forced me to drink those supplements. That's why I got fat."
Xiao Yu bent down and kissed the girl's forehead, nodding in agreement with her words.
"Shushu is right, it's all my fault."
As they were talking, they had already entered the inner hall. Xiao Yu placed her on the soft cushioned couch by the window, then turned around to get a clean towel and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck.
It was useless for the young man to be considerate at this moment, because Yan Shu was still upset about having gained "a pound and a half" and grumbled to him.
"You're just teasing me. I'm obviously fat!"
Xiao Yu paused in wiping his sweat, then smiled and picked her up and went to the bathroom.
"Okay, I was wrong. It's cold today, and sweating can easily catch a cold. I'll bathe Shushu to make amends, okay?"
Yan Shu was nestled in his arms, feeling Xiao Yu's body temperature had now returned to normal.
When she heard this, her white cheeks suddenly turned hot and she immediately glared at him angrily.
"What do you mean by apologizing to me? You, you are shameless!"
Who would bathe someone to apologize? Xiao Yu is simply a pervert!
So it's obvious.
This apology in the bathroom still ended with Yan Shu begging for mercy.
Finally, when Xiao Yu carried Yan Shu back to the couch, the girl, who was so sore all over, bit his neck to vent her anger.
But Xiao Yu naturally didn't take the little queen's light bite seriously. He just hugged her and lay in the quilt. His big, bony hands pinched the soft flesh on her waist and he laughed softly.
This smile is incredible.
Yan Shu was completely annoyed.
Even if Xiao Yu apologized, it was of no use. Yan Shu turned her back and pushed him away.
"You are not allowed to talk to me until I lose weight!" Yan Shu turned over and faced the bed, her fair little face puffed up with anger.
She just knows that everything she says about not being fat is fake!
Xiao Yu actually dared to laugh at her! How despicable!
Anyway, she doesn't want to pay attention to him now, so he can't touch her!
When Xiao Yu looked at the back of the girl's head, he knew that she was really angry, so he immediately hugged her in his arms and coaxed her in a low voice.
But it was obvious that this touched Yan Shu's forbidden zone, and she would not forgive him no matter how much she coaxed him.
It was not until Xiao Yu promised to do anything for him that Yan Shu turned around and looked at him with some interest, and her clear cat-like eyes blinked mischievously.
"I can really do anything to you?"
After receiving Xiao Yu's affirmative answer, Yan Shu pursed her lips and smiled, then immediately got down from the bed and started rummaging in the cabinet next to her.
When the young king saw the object in the girl's hand, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Yan Shu had a proud look on her face. She shook the pair of golden rings that he used to lock her up at Xiao Yu, looking very excited.
"Didn't you say you can do anything?"
Xiao Yu had locked her up so many times in his past and present lives, and she wanted to lock him up again today.
