Chapter 80 - Frigid Poison
Chapter 80: Frigid Poison
Luo Keer trembled in fear, she shuddered when she saw a servant approaching her with a knife in hand.
‘Do the same thing? Do what? Cut my own finger? Why is father asking to do that? That’s an odd punishment.’ thought Luo Keer.
Luo Keer hid her hands behind her back and begged Prime Minister Luo, “Father, please don’t punish me like this, I promise you I will behave myself and do whatever you tell me do, just please don’t make me do this!”
The Second Concubine was still trying to catch her breath from Prime Minister Luo’s kick, and Old Wang was in a daze, he couldn’t believe his Mo had been using him for the past sixteen years, and now he had lost everything for her, his wolves, his home and his dignity.
Old Wang was so devastated that he only wished for a quick death at the moment, he had been living for Mo since he met her, and now all his hope and motivation were shattered.
Prime Minister Luo glared at Luo Keer and snorted, “I’m afraid you should call someone else father!”
The Second Concubine groveled to Prime Minister Luo’s feet and thumped her head on the ground, “Your Lordship, please don’t treat Keer like this, this is a misunderstanding… …”
Luo Keer thought she knew what was going on now.
Prime Minister Luo signaled his servants to grab The Second Concubine and took her aside, the servants picked her up from the ground violently and threw her to the other side of the room.
Meanwhile a servant tackled Luo Keer and cut her index finger, the servant dripped Luo Keer’s blood in the bowl with Prime Minister Luo’s blood in it, and another bowl with Old Wang’s blood in it.
Luo Qianqian shook her head resignedly, Old Wang was poor man in love.
Everyone stared at the two bowls, waiting for the results. To everyone’s surprise, Luo Keer’s blood coagulated with neither Prime Minister Luo nor Old Wang’s blood… …
Seeing that, The Second Concubine looked up to heaven and sighed heavily, she knew she was doomed, everything was finished for her.
Old Wang’s face turned pale as a ghost, he was utterly brokenhearted, he pointed at The Second Concubine and laughed hysterically, “Mo… you… you have been lying to me all the years, I devoted my whole life to you, and this is my payback!”
Prime Minister Luo was absolutely livid about it too, this meant his favorite concubine had cuckolded him, more than once!
Seeing this mess, Luo Qianqian caught hold of Murong Yun’s sleeve and left the room, she wasn’t interested in finding out what Prime Minister Luo would do about them, including Luo Keer.
The two were taking a walk under the silvery moonlight, the night was as beautiful as a poem, so tender and so serene.
Luo Qianqian looked up in the sky and exclaimed, “Such a beautiful night, look at the moon, so shiny.”
It wasn’t until now did Luo Qianqian realize full moon was coming soon, and her heart sank, ‘does this mean Murong Yun’s Frigid Poison will relapse soon?’
Luo Qianqian was determined that she should ask Murong Yun to go look for the herbal medicine with her, but she needed to turn to her Golden Finger — Xiao Bai before she went on this mission, Xiao Bai would know the herbal medicine were more inclined to be found in which areas.
Murong Yun walked Luo Qianqian back to Luo Pavilion, Luo Qianqian invited him in and poured him some tea, “Murong Yun, the trick you pulled on the roof was so dope!”
Murong Yun narrowed his eyes and wasn’t sure what he had just heard, “Dope? I beg your pardon?”
Luo Qianqian covered her mouth, but it was too late to recall what she has just said, so she stammered, “I mean… dope is some kind of dialect I suppose, it means great, like I just said the trick you pulled on the roof was great, you basically saved my life again, and Feng Qing’s. I can also say your outfit is dope, your martial arts skill is dope… …”
“Dope… interesting, it’s a good word.” Murong Yun’s eyes sparkled.
Tenderness and love exuded through his eyes, “Qianqian you are very dope.”
Luo Qianqian almost blushed, “Thank you, you too… …”
The two forced some small talk, and after a dry laugh, Luo Qianqian said, “Look, it’s getting so late, I need to go to sleep soon. See you around, and again, thank you so much for today. I couldn’t make it without you.”
Murong Yun rose to his feet and smiled, his face turned deathly pale before he was able to reply.
Luo Qianqian was standing right next to him, she could see a thin layer of frost slowly covered his face, and along with that the room felt much colder.
Murong Yun looked like he was in great pain, his face was crooked and he clenched his fists, trying to catch some breaths, his legs were shaking, and he turned more pale than just now, the layer of frost became thicker and thicker.
The frost soon crept all over Murong Yun’s body, the whole room felt like an ice house.
“Murong Yun! Stay with me! You will be fine!” Luo Qianqian knew it must be the Frigid Poison, but it wasn’t full moon yet, how could this be!
Luo Qianqian had no time to think about the possible reasons, she darted to Murong Yun and grabbed his arms, she stared at Murong Yun’s eyes, trying to at least communicate with him and talk sense to him.
Luo Qianqian felt her fingers were numb with cold as she tried to shake Murong Yun’s arms, Luo Qianqian worried so much, her fingers were frozen stiff after touching his arms, she couldn’t bear to imagine how painful this was for Murong Yun, especially his vital internal organs.
“Murong Yun, please stay with me! Tell me you are all right!” Luo Qianqian didn’t give up.
Murong Yun opened his eyes with efforts, he had some faint consciousness left, so he gently pushed Luo Qianqian away for he didn’t want to accidentally hurt her later.
“Feng Qing!” Luo Qianqian shouted.
Feng Qing who was waiting outside dashed in and only to find his master was staring him with killing intent in the eyes.
Rumble!
Murong Yun attacked Feng Qing on his chest, and Feng Qing flew away and slumped on the ground in the yard because he refused to fight his boss back.
Feng Qing spat a few mouthful of blood, he was severely injured.
With that Murong Yun moved his feet and walked towards the yard, Luo Qianqian knew that was exactly what Murong Yun shouldn’t be doing at the moment. She jumped on Murong Yun’s back and wrapped her legs around his waist, and next second she kissed him on the lips, it seemed to have worked last time, Luo Qianqian decided to give it a shot.
Murong Yun bit Luo Qianqian’s lips, he calmed down as he smelt the blood.
Feng Qing couldn’t believe what he was seeing, he recalled what Su Liancheng once had told him, ‘Luo Qianqian is your master’s cure.’
