Chapter 109 Startled awake from a dream!
"The bones of an immortal?!"
"Is Physician Ma senile? He's spouting nonsense! What is this 'bone of an immortal'?! I've never heard of it!"
Suppressing the sarcasm in her eyes, Qing Tingyu tapped the table repeatedly with her slender, jade-like hand.
"Tap! Tap tap tap!!"
Hearing the tapping on the table, Doctor Ma buried his head in the excessively soft silk carpet embroidered with gold thread.
"Furthermore, you are all truly unbecoming. How could I be so greedy and negligent as to steal immortal bones from an immortal's body?!"
"Your Highness is right!" Physician Ma lowered his head even further upon hearing this.
"Alright, you may leave. I have to attend the morning court session!"
With a wave of his hand, Qing Tingyu dismissed Doctor Ma!
"Yes, Your Highness, may you be well!"
Doctor Ma, carrying his small medicine box, scrambled out of the carriage, fearing he might be bitten by the mad dog that was His Highness the Crown Prince.
Outside the carriage, Mei Zifeng watched as Doctor Ma stumbled along, and was about to step forward to help him when Doctor Ma declined.
"No need to trouble yourself, Guard Mei! This servant takes his leave!"
Having already begged for mercy, Doctor Ma dared not linger any longer.
After bowing and saying goodbye, he strode away from the scene with his two swift, old legs.
Inside the carriage, Qing Tingyu tossed the sleeping person in his arms onto the soft couch opposite him, then bent over and got out of the carriage.
"Keep a close eye on them!" Qing Tingyu, standing on a footstool made from a personal guard, casually gave the order to Mei Zifeng, who was standing beside him.
"Yes, Your Highness, may you be well!"
Only after His Highness the Crown Prince and his guards left did Mei Zifeng dare to jump onto the carriage and lift the curtain to check on Young Master Luo's condition.
On the low couch of the carriage, Qianqian's spring dress was half off, and she had her back to him.
It could be vaguely seen that General Luo's slender waist was hidden under the thin silk gauze.
Seeing this, Mei Zifeng couldn't help but swallow hard, avoiding eye contact, and quickly pulled the curtain down.
"Young Master Luo! Please bear with it, we're heading back to the palace soon!"
Mei Zifeng frantically drove the carriage, whipping the reins, and sped along the palace roads.
Because of her unusual constitution, Qianqianluo experiences a fever that lasts for half a month after having any contact with a mortal.
Amidst the overwhelming fervor and nightmares, the scenes of life in Wuming Mountain in southern Xinjiang are vividly recalled once again.
In the clan chief's palace;
The white-haired Elder Yun was imparting the secrets of the Qian clan to the young "clan leader".
Qianqian, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, was completely hidden under a veil, with only a young servant accompanying her.
A young servant in coarse gray linen clothes bent over, starting a fire on the ground and stirring up charcoal to warm Qianqian's feet.
The young servant's right eye was wrapped in gauze, and he could only see with difficulty with his left eye.
Through his blurred vision in his left eye, he could barely make out that the eldest son of the Qian clan was completely hidden in a floor-length veil adorned with jade and gold pendants.
Only a pair of bare feet, their skin a pale pink, were visible in the air, swaying idly in the heat emanating from the charcoal fire.
"Luo'er, listen carefully!" Elder Yun walked to Qianqian Luo's side, tapped her head, and gestured for her to pay attention.
"Yes, elder!"
"Luo'er, remember this well: never indulge in pleasure with mortals!"
"If a mortal were to obtain the bones of an immortal, Luo'er's immortality would be damaged, and the heat would last for more than half a month!"
"They will also obstruct the path to immortality and incur divine retribution!"
Qianqian repeated Elder Yun's words, but her gaze, hidden behind the silk gauze, remained fixed on the young servant who was tending the charcoal fire.
"Luo'er, why didn't you repeat the most important point?!"
"Luo'er!!" Elder Yun slammed his hand on the table, anxiously trying to get Qianqian Luo to repeat the most important point.
Wow!! Fireflies! So many fireflies!
Qianqianluo looked at the countless fireflies swaying outside the clan leader's palace, and forgot all about the teachings. She ran barefoot.
"Hey! Chieftain, chieftain, watch out!"
Elder Yun hurriedly followed Qianqianluo, fearing that she might fall or get hurt!
The young servant, with his thin, frail body, followed behind the two.
Not getting the final answer, the young servant, chilled to the bone, stared intently at the figure that had plunged into the fireflies!
Don't get angry. Just give that lowly woman a pot of peach wine tonight, and her dog mouth will surely reveal the final answer!
……
"Let go of me!!" Suffocating from being choked by the young servant, Qianqian woke up at midnight half a month later.
"Help! Help, help me!"
“Help, help!!”
boom! ! !
With the side-flipping motion, Qianqian fell violently to the ground!
"Ah! Help! Help me!!"
She reached out and frantically stroked the skin on her neck, trying to break free from the invisible restraints.
"Young Master Luo? Young Master Luo, have you woken up?!"
"Sister Yulan, Young Master Luo has woken up!"
Hearing the commotion in the inner hall, Shu'er, who was on night watch, quickly grabbed a palace lantern and rushed in to check the situation.
Qianqianluo, who had fallen flat on her face, was struggling to get up by supporting herself with her hands. As soon as she looked up, she saw Bai Wuchang, dressed in plain white and wearing a plain flower in her hair, walking towards her!
"Is it a ghost?! That's great!"
"I'm actually thinking of going to hell, take me with you!" Qianqianlu wriggled her body and pounced on Shuer.
She clung to Shu'er's leg, begging the girl, dressed in plain clothes, to take her to hell, with tears streaming down her face.
"No, no!!"
"Young Master Luo, don't be afraid! It's all, it's all over!" The palace lanterns were smashed on the ground. Shu'er half-squatted down and hugged the dazed Qianqian Luo.
"General Luo!!" Mei Ziye, who had rushed over at the sound, shouted breathlessly with hurried steps.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shu'er in the inner palace quickly broke free from Qianqianluo's embrace, picked up the palace lantern from the ground, and carefully served by her side.
Only after Mei Ziye signaled did the palace maids who rushed over dare to light the oil lamps in the hanging cages of the inner palace.
After all the oil lamps had burned out, a little light finally entered the dark inner hall.
As Qianqian landed, she stood in the center of the halo, her body enveloped in an ethereal glow that made her appear even more frail and vulnerable.
She was blinded by the sudden light, and when she finally opened her eyes, the sight of a room full of white ghosts made Qianqianluo even more convinced that she had descended into the deepest hell.
"Actually, I don't have that kind of grand style!"
"Hahaha, just arrange one White Impermanence for me, no need for so many ghosts to greet me!"
Mei Ziye was about to wail and complain to Qianqian about how much he had suffered during the two weeks since she passed away.
Before I could even open my mouth, I was already furious at her words.
"Qianqianluo, what White Impermanence? What ghost?!"
"You better wake up!"
"Open your eyes properly!!!"
Mei Ziye rushed to Qianqian's side and shook her body wildly!
Shaking and shouting, "This is the Imperial Court of Shangjing! This is the inner palace of the Eastern Palace!!"
Qianqianluo just wants to say:
Then I'd rather go to hell! After all, His Highness the Crown Prince is definitely the top dog there!
Whether we live or die, we will still be His Highness the Crown Prince's servants!
Got it, my eyes aren't deaf!
You're hurting my eyes!
