Chapter 53: To Take the Most Important Thing Away from Her
Murong Yun lowered his head as well when he heard what Lin Zimo just said, he also hoped Tong’er could be cured.
Luo Qianqian on the other hand was staring at Murong Yun with a serious face.
Noticing that, Murong Yun turned to her and asked, “is everything okay?”
Luo Qianqian suddenly caught hold of his hand and said in an earnest manner, “Murong Yun, I promise you I will cure you for sure!”
She wanted to cure Murong Yun just for the points in the beginning, but now she just want to cure him for him.
Thinking about her journey since she was reincarnated in this space, she owed too much to this man.
“Sounds great.” Murong Yun’s voice was like melting honey.
Luo Qianqian whispered something at Murong Yun’s ear, Murong Yun nodded and walked to Lin Zimo with her.
Lin Zimo was writing out a a prescription while Master Lingtian perched by the bedside and watched the love of his life lingering on in a steadily worsening condition.
“One month is the best outcome?” asked Murong Yun.
Lin Zimo nodded, he wished Murong Yun knew some other doctors who might have better medical skills, so he asked, “You have other ways, Brother Eighth?”
Murong Yun caught hold of Luo Qianqian’s hand, “I don’t, but my Princess does.”
Master Lingtian raised his eyelid with suspect, “Really?”
Honestly Master Lingtian wasn’t convinced at all.
Luo Qianqian produced a little white jade bottle from his sleeve, don’t underestimate this little jade bottle, it was the ideal vessel for keeping the elixir, any other vessel would compromise the property of the elixir.
“Do I have the honor to give it a try? As luck would have it, I’ve obtained this elixir.”
Master Lingtian sprang from the edge of the bed and asked with excitement, “Is that true?”
Not just Master Lingtian was amazed, everyone else in the room was staring at the little white jade bottle and though, Is there a potion of elixir in the bottle?’
Luo Qianqian nodded, “Yes, Master Lingtian. This elixir is not as miraculous as described in folklore, but it indeed could prolong people’s life for at least twenty years.”
Hearing that, Lin Zimo’s writing brush fell off from his hand.
“Qianqian, is there anything else I can offer? Just name it.” Master Lingtian chose to believe what Luo Qianqian said simply because Murong Yun trusted her.
And he would do anything for Luo Qianqian to get the elixir.
“I don’t need anything,saving a life is of boundless beneficence.” replied Luo Qianqian, then she opened the bottle, “Master, here is the elixir.”
Master Lingtian took the bottle and was loud in his thanks.
He poured the elixir in his palm, streams of reiki were oozing from the elixir, Master Lingtian was overjoyed and he fed Tong’er the elixir.
“How long does it take for the elixir to take effect?” asked Master Lingtian, and Tong’er’s complexion had already gained a rosy sheen while Master Lingtian was asking Luo Qianqian this question.
“Tomorrow the lady will recover.”
Soon the group left the room, Su Liancheng grumbled as soon as they stepped out of the tavern, “Sister-in-law, why didn’t you save the elixir for my Brother Eighth?”
Luo Qianqian was speechless, she would have had fed Murong Yun the elixir if it worked on him!
“Yeah, why? How can I be so selfish?” retorted Luo Qianqian in a sarcastic tone, “Because it doesn’t work on you Brother Eighth!”
Su Liancheng flushed tomato red, he stuck out his tongue.
The next second he raised another question, “Why didn’t you just ask Master Lingtian to take you as his disciple when he asked you is there anything he could do for you?”
“I’m gonna play this fair and square, I ani’t pulling any strings.” Luo Qianqian refused to secure advantages through influence.
“That’s so impressive, Fourth Lady.” said Lin Zimo approvingly.
Lin Zimo and Su Liancheng kept throwing praises at Luo Qianqian, the three had such a good talk.
Murong Yun ran out of patience and carried Luo Qianqian in his arms, he shot a glimpse at the two and said, “see you later.”
Luo Qianqian pounded him on the back, “Let go of me!”
‘What’s going on with him again?’
Murong Yun snorted in a lovey dovey way, “NO.”
“Mo, is Brother Eighth jealous just jealous that we were talking and laughing without him?” asked Su Liancheng with his wide open, couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
“Fourth Lady is very lovable.” said Lin Zimo.
Su Liancheng asked, “Mo, it just occurs to me why do you keep calling sister-in-law ‘Fourth Lady’? Isn’t it more cordial to call her our sister-in-law?”
“I don’t see there’s much difference.”
“Of course there is, there is huge difference.”
To return to the love birds.
“Murong Yun, this is an order, let go of me.”
“Bite me.”
Murong Yun carried her all the way to his carriage.
“Feng Qing.”
“Master, at your service.”
“Home time!”
“Yes, Your Highness!” Feng Qing was overjoyed, he could finally go back home, he had been doing chores and running errands for Luo Qianqian, how he missed the time when he could just practise martial arts all day at home.
The next day.
Murong Xue went to Prime Minister Mansion early in the morning to pick up Luo Qianqian just in case she over slept again.
Luo Yuyan and Luo Keer turned green with envy when they saw how close Luo Qianqian and Princess Eleventh were, and they were jealous of the fancy carriage with decorations exclusively to the royal family on the carriage.
Luo Keer’s was wearing heavy makeup again this day to cover the swell from the slap.
The more Luo Keer thought about the day before, the more indignant she got, she couldn’t help but curse out loud at the other carriage, “Luo Qianqian, I will settle scores with you!”
Luo Yuyan squinted her eyes and said bitterly, “That’s great lip service, my good sister.”
Luo Keer sensed the satire, she asked with disbelief, “Second Older Sister, are you taking her side? That little bitxx? I’ve told you a thousand times it wasn’t us who asked Xiao Cui to put venomous insects in your yard!”
Luo Yuyan straightened her gown, “I’m taking anyone’s side, I know both you two very well. However, as your older sister who has grown up together with you, I feel obliged to remind you Luo Qianqian is no longer the push-over, the good-for-nothing in the family, it takes some strategy to take her down.”
Luo Keer was intrigued, the pain on her cheeks made her hate Luo Qianqian more, “Please enlighten me, my good sister.”
“It’s not that hard to take her down, what’s the most important thing for a girl? As long as you can take that away from her, you are defeating her.”
