May 4, 2017Ai Hrist
The medical system keeps alarming to remind Lin Chujiu that there is a patient that needs to be treated. But because Lin Chujiu hasnât taken an action for a long time. The medical system started a ten-minute countdown.
So at that very moment, Lin Chujiuâs facial expression changed. After all, this demand of medical system can cause her to lose her life!
âImperial Aunt, whatâs wrong?â Although Third Prince Xiao Zian was talking with the Seventh Prince, he didnât forget to pay attention to Lin Chujiu. So, he noticed at once the change in her facial expression.
The Third Princeâs eyes look so sincere and really show a deep concern. Seriously, his actions can really make a person treat him kindly in return.
How can such a kind person be born in the royal family?
Lin Chujiu couldnât help but secretly feel pity for him. However, she decides to pretend to have a stomached, so she presses her abdomen and frown while saying: âPerhaps, I walked too fast thatâs why I felt some discomfort in my stomach.â
âImperial Aunt, your stomach is aching?â The Seventh Prince nervously asked. But, when Lin Chujiu nodded her head, his face immediately turn white and said: âIt must be because I pulled Imperial Aunt all around the palace after we eat. Imperial Aunt, Iâm really sorry. Iâm a bad boy, I made you feel uncomfortable.â
The Seventh Prince embraced his body and keep blaming himself while walking in a circle. Then, he looks at Third Prince Xiao Zian pathetically and seems at loss on what to do.
Third Prince Xiao Zian frown, he wants to stay out of trouble. But when he saw Lin Chujiuâs pale face and the Seventh Princeâs anxious face. He said: âImperial Aunt, I think it would be better if you take a rest. Would you like to go to my Qing Palace for now and take a rest for a moment?â Xiao Zian fear that Lin Chujiu might misunderstand, so he also added: âBut, I only suggested that because my palace is the nearest place from here.â
âThatâs right! Imperial Aunt, you shouldnât walk too far for now. So, just go to Third older brotherâs palace and rest. While Iâll go and look for a doctor.â After saying that, the Seventh Prince ran in a hurry, even though his little eunuchs were calling him.
Ahh ⦠â¦
Lin Chujiuâs eyes turn cold, but she tried to cover it.
The Seventh Prince acts so naturally. And because he acts so natural, she couldnât help but doubt him more.
However, the Seventh Prince now ran away to find her a doctor. So, she just bluntly accepted Third Prince Xiao Zianâs kindness to go to his private palace and rest.
Lin Chujiu decided to go. So of course, as the owner, he needs to accompany his guest. So, he said to his eunuch on the side: âGo to mufei (mother) and tell her that Iâll be late.â
âYour highness, Iâm sorry for troubling you.â Lin Chujiu said while pretending to be weak as she sat down. Then, she accepted the warm water from the maidservant and took a sip.
âImperial Aunt, you donât need to act so distantly. Itâs only natural for me to invite you. After all, if Fourth Imperial Uncle learns that I didnât invite you to rest when you felt uncomfortable while you are near in my vicinity. Iâm sure he will beat me into pulp.â Xiao Zian is indeed a gentle person. He immediately subsided the awkward atmosphere between the two of them. And his words are full of respect for Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao.
So at that moment, Lin Chujiu couldnât stop herself from laughing and just casually put down the cup, while thinking and waiting for the right moment to asked about Xiao Zianâs leg disease. After all, the medical system hasnât stopped from sending an alarm and even shows that she now only has three minutes!
Lin Chujiu wanted to say few more things before she will mention anything about his leg disease, but it seems she doesnât have much time now.
So, Lin Chujiu frown while thinking about how she would ask him. However, Xiao Zian took the initiative and start a conversation: âImperial Aunt, how do you feel right now? The doctor may not arrive soon, so would you like me to ask a maidservant to rub your stomach?â
âNo, Iâm fine, but ⦠â¦â Lin Chujiuâs eyes fell on Xiao Zianâ s legs: âAhm, you see your Royal Highness.â
âIt seems Imperial Aunt and Imperial Uncle are getting along well, so I couldnât help but feel envious.â Xiao Zian didnât show any trace of discomfort when Lin Chujiu keeps staring at his legs.
Because of his disability, Xiao Zian has an inferiority complex and low self-esteem. After all, he is not different from others but he couldnât walk.
Feeling envious?
Lin Chujiu wanted to laugh when she heard him, but she couldnât. She must keep pretending that Xiao Tianyao values her. Not only in front of Xiao Zian, but also in this whole world. Otherwise⦠â¦
Her days in the capital wonât be that good once the people learn that not only her family doesnât her, but also her husband.
So, Lin Chujiu tried to make her cheeks blush and lower her head in shyness. Xiao Zian saw her reactions and realized that his words somewhat sounds rude, so he didnât dare to speak again.
The servants around them also didnât dare to say a word, so for a quiet while the hall turns very silence.
Lin Chujiu wanted to shut her mouth until the Seventh Prince arrive. But, she couldnât.
Especially now that the medical system show that she only has sixty seconds left.
So at that moment, Lin Chujiu bite her lips and force herself to utter a word.
âYour Royal Highness, Third Princeâ Lin Chujiu stood up and looked at Xiao Zian intently: âI know a little about medicine, so could you let me check your legâs condition? I mean ⦠⦠w.a.n.gye (Prince Xiao) doesnât let anyone to casually touch his legs. I also donât know how exactly did he get hurt. So, I would like to see, and then⦠â¦It would be better if you could help me understand his condition.â
What a lame reason!
Lin Chujiu wanted to cry. It was really sudden, so she couldnât think for a good reason.
So, she thought he would definitely reject her. However, Xiao Zian nodded his head and said: âOk, you can check.â
âReally, I can?â Lin Chujiuâs eyes s.h.i.+ne brightly. After all, she now only has twenty seconds left.
Oh G.o.d, Iâm saved, Xiao Zian is really such a good man.
Then, Xiao Zian smiles and nodded again: âAs long as Imperial Aunt doesnât mind, I have no intention to refuse.â
He is indeed worthy to be called the most gentle and considerate Prince. Heâs really kind.
Seeing that she only has ten seconds left, Lin Chujiu didnât act reserve anymore. She immediately approached and squat in front of Xiao Zian and hold lightly his calf muscle (back of lower leg).
His calf muscles and bones are in a good condition and form. So it means they definitely keep monitoring his condition. And because they are in normal condition, it means Xiao Zian doesnât have any problem in his calf muscles area.
So, Lin Chujiu tried to touch his knees next.. â¦
Xiao Zianâs legs lost its functions and senses. So, he didnât get embarra.s.sed. Besides, Lin Chujiu didnât make any inappropriate action.
Lin Chujiu is not aware, that when she gets serious. She somehow resembles Xiao Tianyaoâs serious face.
At first, Zhenzhu and Manao thought that Lin Chujiu is just being intrusive. But, when they saw her serious face, they couldnât help but think: w.a.n.gfei must really love Prince Xiao to go this far!
When the news about Lin Chujiu took the initiative to ask about Xiao Zianâs legs condition spread and reach the Empress and Seventh Princeâs ears.
The Seventh Princeâs face slightly got wrinkled and said in dissatisfaction: âMuhou (Mother), I told you Third older brother will be more useful because he looks so handsome and very gentle. And even if he is just a waste, thereâs still a lot of women who fall in love with him. Anyway, if she doesnât know that secret it will be better. But, if she knows that secret then she will definitely say it to Third older brother.â
âMuhou knows that you want her to marry the Third Prince, but your fu huang (father) agreed to let Lin Chujiu marry your Fourth Imperial Uncle instead.â The Empress said while leaning on her chair with full of distress.
The Seventh Prince got angry and slam the table: âIt must be because of Concubine Zhou, that woman is really sly!â
âMy Seventh little prince, you donât need to strain yourself. Muhou will definite make you satisfied next time.â The Empress caresses the Seventh Princeâs head with full of love.
âMuhou ⦠â¦â The Seventh Prince whoâs eyes got a bit red due to anger nestled on the Empressâs side with a bit sorrow expression on his face⦠â¦
If you have a mother like that, no child will be willing to grow up instantly!
