He Danggui just felt her whole body was burnt in the fire and every touch of Lu Jiangbei was so hot as if her clothes would be in flames right away. Then, she realized it was true that she had to take off her clothes before receiving the treatment. When she was half-awake before, she could only feel things not very clearly but she already lost control of her body and even had no strength to push away the man in her dream. At that time, she was lying in the bed of Ice Pool and her limbs were cold, but now she was lying in the arms of a man as if she was bathing in the burning sun.
Lu Jiangbei put his right palm on her Dantian and rubbed her Xuehai acupoint with the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of his left hand. He was doing the treatment for her but it seemed his hands had some kind of ineffable magical power. They brought a feeling of soreness, numbness, and hotness which was spreading in her body and eating away at her sanity. At first, sh
He Danggui believed Zhu Quan saved her just because of the last remained effect of Spirit and Love Poison in his body and he threw the sedan at last because the effect was used up. She guessed like this in her heart or she just hoped the truth was like this. However, she couldn't explain it to Lu Jiangbei so she said with a bitter smile, "You can believe whatever you want. Anyway, you're always stubborn about what you think."Lu Jiangbei did believe that was the truth so he took what she said as an implicit confession. He tried to persuade her, "Lord Ning is indeed cruel to women but he is a brilliant man. It will be a pity if he dies so easily. You should think twice." He touched her hair spread on her back and took out a band used for wrapping fists from his sleeve. He wanted to tie her hair so she could look more spirited. The long hair was like soft silk which glittered like waves in the room with flickering candlelight.While doing this,
Looking at Lu Jiangbei for a while, He Danggui still felt furious so she cursed loudly, "Imperial Guards are stooges of the emperor. You always bully the civilians and have done all kinds of evil. When you killed Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, you even couldn't spare his three-year-old foster daughter. What's wrong with my husband's saving her? How can you keep me as bait to catch him? To be honest, he's also a powerful man. Even if you can lure him to this place, you may not be able to subdue him. Even if you can bring him under control, you dare not to punish him!"Lu Jiangbei nodded and replied, "I thought so. After having hidden for three years, he still can fight back fiercely. He should never be an ordinary man. I've also guessed about the relationship between you and him because that day, all the fierceness on his face was suddenly gone and gentleness filled up with his eyes after he saw a portrait of you. Logically, no one will act like that toward a p
He Danggui remained silent for a while before asking, "Does the wound hurt much? Can you release the acupoints yourself? Just do it if you can and help me release mine. I want to check your wound."With a sneer, Duan Xiaolou replied, "Don't you know why Lu Jiangbei blocked my acupoints? He was afraid that I would hurt you. He thought it was dangerous to leave you and me here if I could move freely. And I admit that he was right. He Danggui, if I could move now, I wouldn't be sure about what I would do." He glanced at her and laughed loudly and ambiguously, "What? Do you still want me to release the acupoints? Are you scared, Miss He?"He Danggui frowned in worry and said in a soft tone, "Duan Xiaolou, I'm worried about your injury. Can you stop being angry for now and just let me check it first? Does it hurt much?" It sounded like she was talking to a willful child who lost his temper.Duan Xiaolou demanded, "Kiss me now. Kiss me and I'l
Lu Jiangbei rushed into the icehouse with water dripping down from his body and his ice mask was taken off. He shouted, "Mr. Duan, something happened! Everyone was gone! They... Mr. Duan? Danggui! You..."Previously, Lu Jiangbei went up to the Baisha Mountain Villa. He didn't sense anything wrong and just walked toward the pharmacy in a hurry to find the Seven Flowers and Leaves Sinew-reconnecting cream for Duan Xiaolou. However, when he passed the atrium, he noticed the messy footsteps on the white sand and part of the rockery broke. There was also blood on the rubble. Obviously, it was caused by a fight. And when he walked past this place to find books for He Danggui not long ago, he didn't see any rubble.Some Imperial Guards took pleasure in fighting and friends often battled with each other so the villa got messy from time to time. That wasn't anything strange originally but at this time, all of them were injured and tired. Who would figh
After Lu Jiangbei left, He Danggui paid lots of effort to carry Duan Xiaolou onto the bed because she was also weak now. She even felt tired when she walked alone. After tucking him in, she wanted to emulate Lu Jiangbei and light a fire so she could boil some soup for Duan Xiaolou, but as soon as she got out of the bed, he grabbed her wrist, dragged her back into his arms, and covered her with the quilt.He Danggui was shocked for a moment and then, she patted his chest and said, "Let go of me. Don't do this. I need to cook porridge for you. Duan Xiaolou?"With his eyes closed, Duan Xiaolou replied in a hoarse voice and sounded tired, which made He Danggui feel itchy on her forehead. He said, "Everyone can cook porridge. Just let Jiangbei do this when he comes back. Your duty is to take care of me. You should do whatever I say."He Danggui understood at once and asked in shock, "It turns out that you are not sleeping. You were alr
After collecting all the Sinew-reconnecting cream spilled on the ground, He Danggui felt relieved. Fortunately, the ice ground was very clean and would never melt so the medicine hadn't been tainted and could still be used. Duan Xiaolou made a fuss but it didn't cause any terrible results. He said she got wrong answers when she said she should keep her words and marry Meng Xuan and she wanted him to wish her a happy marriage so he threw the medicine bottle as a punishment for her.However, the wrong answers for Duan Xiaolou were the right ones and the promise for Meng Xuan and her. Maybe their common rebirth experiences enabled Meng Xuan and her to be the birds of the same kind and the right answer for each other so they met a few times fatefully this life even though they had been strangers in their previous lives and now, they couldn't live without each other. But why did Duan Xiaolou become like this? What eerie skill had he practiced? Would it sap his
Duan Xiaolou sat up instantly with his eyes full of tiredness and surprise. He looked at He Danggui and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean by that?""I mean," He Danggui told him the truth calmly, "I didn't intend to commit suicide. I just pretended to cut my neck with the dagger to lure you out but I didn't expect that you would be so rash and grabbed the blade of the dagger directly. I'm really sorry. I didn't know it was made of dark steel that could cut everything effortlessly, or I wouldn't play that trick on you." She looked at Duan Xiaolou with a smile and her canines were shown lightly as the portrait on the dagger did. "Xiaolou, you're a generous man so you won't blame me, will you?"Duan Xiaolou remained silent for a moment and then, collapsed into the pillow while laughing wildly. A while later, he said, "That's the way Qingyi is. You're always crueler, more calculating, and more sedate than men. It was me who wasn't calm en
Three unforeseen events happened. First, a glossy cinnabar mole showed between He Danggui's eyebrows just after the Virginity Mark on her forearm disappeared again.Second, Xue Xiao, the Nihon man, seemed to have been severely injured. Tottering into the icehouse, he shouted in a hoarse voice for help and asked Duan Xiaolou to run at the same time.The third one was the worst.Happily finishing the Laba Congee made by He Danggui, Duan Xiaolou squinted at the slim figure behind the corner and couldn't help smiling. Suddenly, Xue Xiao rushed in with his blue robe covered in blood. Duan Xiaolou was frightened and immediately got out of the bed to hold him while he knelt on the ground. Then, Duan Xiaolou asked, "Are you all right? What happened? Tell me in detail!"He Danggui didn't notice the man at first. She was still looking into the blade of the dagger to confirm she got a mole between her eyebrows. "Thud!" She heard
