Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Take Advantage of Him?
Huangfu Xuan shouted with anger when seeing Hua Qiyue press herself on Yun Shimo.
“So vulgar you are! Do you think I have no interest to you, so you can take advantage of Brother Yun?”
The two pharmacy apprentices felt stunned for quite a while. It was improper for men and women to touch each other’s hand in passing objects. Now they witnessed a maiden flung herself upon their master. The scene… was extremely frightening, grand and shocking.
Hua Qiyue’s body clung to Yun Shimo’s. The girl’s fragrance drilled into his nose and her hanging hair tickled Yun Shimo’s face.
He raised his eyes, only to see Hua Qiyue’s surprised eyes as clear as a crystal spring without any lust.
Hua Qiyue took a head-on look at Yun Shimo’s luminous and warm eyes like a bright moon. She jumped up with fear and said, “I am so sorry. I did not expect… I did not expect… ”
“Hua Qiyue… You are a slut. How dared you make frivolity to Brother Yun!” Huangfu Xuan rushed up, pulled up Yun Shimo and stood before him like a hen protecting its chicken.
Hua Qiyue twisted her eyebrows. She did not expect that her heedless act would lead to such a consequence.
Tianci hastened to grasp her skirt tail.
Hua Qiyue came to herself, squatted down and held Tianci gently. “Don’t be afraid. Prince Nan is expelling the toxin for Tianci. So you can speak in the future.”
Two pharmacy apprentices walked up angrily, glared at Hua Qiyue and rebuked. “Miss Hua, you are too outrageous. No one is permitted to bother our master when he is healing the hurts for others. You almost drove our master to go devastated!”
Hua Qiyue was greatly astounded. She only had eyes for Tianci and did not expect things would screw like that.
She looked at Yun Shimo, only to find his face was pale with shockingly red blood on the corner of his lips.
“Your Excellency… I am so sorry. I thought…”
“You thought I would kill him?” Yun Shimo’s eyes were extremely cold, his face sulked. Two pharmacy apprentices beside held their breath, since it was the first time that they had seen their master’s angry countenance like that.
Yun Shimo always reserved his feeling, but this time he was burned with rage.
“No…” Hua Qiyue could not form the words at that moment. After regaining her life, she expressed no sincerity to any other else except her close maids and Tianci.
As to Prince Nan, there was only a deal between them, far from intimate and trust. But for Tianci, Hua Qiyue had no choice but to strive without further consideration.
But things went on in such an unexpected way.
Huangfu Xuan sneered, his eyes glittering with disgust. He hated to be engaged since birth. Moreover, Hua Qiyue was such a useless person!
“Brother Yun, she just wanted to take advantage of you!”
“Huangfu Xuan, stop talking nonsense! I don’t have any improper thought for Prince Nan. It was a mistake just now!” Hua Qiyue said frigidly and severely.
Yun Shimo straightened out his slightly riffled robe and said, “Hua Qiyue, please take him and leave here! I do not like being disturbed arbitrarily when healing and expelling the toxic for others. And I do not like the loose girls like you!”
Yun Shimo looked pale, seemingly he hurt badly and got rather annoyed.
But thinking of the tenderness on him, Yun Shimo blushed immediately, even his ears and neck burning. At that time, it was improper for men and women to touch each other’s hand in passing objects. So if their intimate contact just now was spread out, they had to be married. Otherwise, the woman’s honor would be discredited, and no one dared to marry her.
Huangfu Xuan took an eery look at Yun Shimo and shouted harshly. “Hua Qiyue, get the h**l out of here!”
“Fine! I will destroy the Long Red in my hands at once!”
Hua Qiyue remained undisturbed with a murderous look in her eyes.
She had gone through life and death, and her loved son’s toxic had not been eliminated yet. How could she give up now?
No matter how hard it would be and how unwilling Yun Shimo was to heal and detoxify for Tianci, she was bound to figure out other means to bring Yun Shimo into submission.
Hua Qiyue opened the luxurious box and held the fragrant Long Red in her hand. With a clatter, the Long Red was snapped into a half, followed by a cry of sorrow.
Yun Shimo cherished the herbs as his own life, so he was called Medicine King. As a matter of fact, he was better at medical skills, but he did not allow anyone to destroy the precious herbs recklessly. He regarded all the herbs as his own children and sheltered them attentively.
How could his heart not ache when he saw a precious herb was broken into the half before him?
His red handsome face turned pale again.
Hua Qiyue stared at him coldly with great determination. “If you really want me to leave here and do not heal my son, I will ruin all of six Long Reds in my house, just like destroying this one!”
The Long Red in her hands, like a dying person, lost the red luster, and fragrance faded away. Not long before, the Long Red turned white and unscented.
This was how the herb “vanished”. Almost all the miraculous could perish in that way.
That was why Yun Shimo cherished the herbs as his own life.
As long as the panaceas had a grudge against the human, they would choose to autocide and not exist in the world any longer. So for all mankind, it was a huge loss.
This would make more miscellaneous diseases unable to cure, which would deprive patients of living hopes.
“Hua Qiyue… You… are so mean!” Yun Shimo’s eyes were filled with anger. He was always sober and impassive, but today was infuriated the first time.
“I’ll count to three and give me your definite answer. One, two, and three…”
“I treat!”
Yun Shimo answered as he champed with rage. Huangfu Xuan looked at Yun Shimo in astonishment and exclaimed, “Brother Yun! You are mad. The woman is a slut. She just took advantage of you, and now you agree with her?”
Huangfu Xuan took on a look of inconceivability. He could tell that Yun Shimo also detested Hua Qiyue very much, but Yun Shimo really deserved his fame that he loved herbs as his own life.
Tianci looked at one and then the other, and tugged Hua Qiyue’s sleeve.
Hua Qiyue looked down at Tianci’s big clear eyes glistening dewily.
Hua Qiyue took out the handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat gently on his forehead. “Tianci, my dear boy. It will not take a long time… before you can speak. I will do everything I can as long as you can speak.”
Her voice sounded soft, replacing the sternness and coldness before.
Tianci gazed at her, not fully understanding.
Hua Qiyue looked at her son’s pathetic eyes. “Is he unwilling to see his mother in a pickle?” Observing adults have violent contradictions about him, kind Tianci seemed not to have the heart.
As Hua Qiyue’s eyes reddened and her nose twitched, she patted his little face softly.
“My good boy, when we go home, I will give you something delicious.”
She smiled. The smile was bright like a flower but looked rather grieved, which puzzled Yun Shimo and others.
Hua Qiyue just fostered an outsider’s son, just an outsider. But now look at them, they seemed to have biologically blood bond.
The softness and love could not be feigned.
“Your Excellency, I am sorry to offend you. I love my son so much. I might hurt you by mistake. If Tianci is healed, I will remember your great kindness in my heart. Your Excellency, no matter what you want, I will go to all lengths to get it for you as long as I can.”
Hua Qiyue pledged firmly in all sincerity and seriousness.
Yun Shimo stared at her silently. “She did not mean to pull over me, is it true?”
All of a sudden, Yun Shimo’s expression changed slightly, because he remembered the red protective cover, which was made up from his Spirit Qi. Generally speaking, it would not be broken unless under a serious attack.
But Hua Qiyue just leaned over on the protective cover at that time and did not strike him at all, which he could sense as well. But how could the protective cover turned in to a Spirit Qi and flow into Hua Qiyue’s body?
He had never encountered such a weird thing before.
The woman in front did not look lascivious in rumors. There was no trace of carnality in her clear eyes.
“He is severely poisoned and needed detoxifying for a long time, at least a month. He needs one more medicine named Purple Locus Phoenix Ice. Pity that… I don’t have it. Although I am Medicine King, there are some herbs in the hands of Medicine Saint… ”
Yun Shimo restrained his anger and restored his cold countenance.
Huangfu Xuan gaped at this one and then the one, with an unbelievable look.
“Brother Yun, you are really crazy, crazy! You are threatened by the slut!” Huangfu Xuan yelled out, exasperated at Yun Shimo’s concession.
Yun Shimo shot no glance at Huangfu Xuan. He just straightened up with indifference, his eyebrow knitted slightly. He still pondered why Hua Qiyue’s body could take in Spirit Qi in that way.
“Prince Nan, could you please send someone to fetch the herb from Medicine Saint? It doesn’t matter how much it will cost. I can afford it!” Hua Qiyue begged in a soft voice, taking no notice of Huangfu Xuan standing beside, which made him gnash his teeth in anger.
Two pharmacy apprentices looked at each other in shock. Normally, Prince Nan charged little money for treating others. So what Hua Qiyue requested humiliated Prince Nan indeed.
Although Hua’s Mansion was quite famous, could they have so much money?
But according to Hua Qiyue’s tone, it seems she could afford any amount of money. How shocking it was!
“Medicine Saint love herbs more than I do. It will be a miracle if you can get the herb from him. You can take your son to Nan’s Mansion every two days. I can eliminate toxic for him. After that, with the help of Purple Locus Phoenix Ice, I can help him restore the light instantly.”
Having said that, Prince Nan turned around with a flick of his sleeves and strode to the backyard. His white figure disappeared so swiftly like a gust whirling away the waning moon, as if the two quarrels had never happened before. But Yun Shimo appeared rather threatening. Perhaps after the thing completed, he would be reluctant to settle with Hua Qiyue so easily.
Huangfu Xuan cast a brutal glare at Hua Qiyue and said, “Hua Qiyue, I will let you go this time. Next time, if you dare to take advantage of Brother Yun, I will take your life. Get out of here. What a rude girl!”
After finishing his words, he strode to the backyard.
Hua Qiyue pulled up the corner of her mouth. “Is he the Royal Highness? He behaves so childishly without an air of royalty. He really flatters himself!”
Hua Qiyue was in no mood to stay there any longer. “Needed one more medicine… So it is indispensable to ask Medicine Saint for the medicine.”
Medicine Saint, originally named Ji Feng, was a renowned senior pharmacist in the Changjing Kingdom. He had a variety of miraculous medicines, approximately hundreds of kinds.
Therefore, countless people came to Ji Family to plead for medicines every year, but seldom could succeed.
Whether Medicine Saint presented the medicine depended on the persons.
That panacea could not be purchased by money
