[BL]After Transmigration I Became The Villainous Consort. [穿越后， 我成了恶妃]

Chapter 39

It was four in the morning. The sun has not yet risen. Shen Nuo looked at the deep shoulder wound upon Li Yan with a pale face.

Li Yan was bare chested as he sat by the bedside of his chamber. He was just after the morning bath and his hair was not yet wet. Cold water drops dropped down his chin and the long raven sleeky hair down his sturdy chest and distinct abbs. He did not expect even in the least for Shen Nuo to barge inside. He was feeling lost.

"Li Yan, are you mad?" Shen Nuo couldn't take it anymore. He said furiously. "Why did you bath early in the morning when you have this kind of a wound? Huh? Don't you want to live anymore? This... This wound is this deep. Don't you know how to take medicine?"

Li Yan's eyes were downcasted. He wiped away the water drops on his face with his palm. "Zhen wants to keep awake." He said in a low voice. "Keep awake from dreams to be in the reality..."

Shen Nuo who heard this was speechless. Why did it sound more than words?

He shook his head furiously. "Then your cultivation..."

"Zhen would naturally recover after few days." Li Yan lied.

Shen Nuo nodded. He silently opened the medicine box he brought. The wound of the stab was cleanly washed before. Since Li Yan had refused medications, the wound had already started to fester.

Shen Nuo picked up his pen knife used in surgeries and immersed it in the basin of hot water on the bedside desk. Then he looked at Li Yan apprehensively. "You might feel a little pain. Ok? Not for too long. I'll try to be gentle."

Li Yan looked at him. "Pain?" He said in a frosty voice. "This pain is nothing compared to the pain I've gone through. If I can accept the stab, a mere knife cut is nothing."

Shen Nuo gulped and nodded. He then slowly cut and removed the festered skin with that sharp blade and Li Yan didn't even flinch. Shen Nuo was flabbergasted. Was Li Yan human?

After the festered skin was removed, there was a hideous slit that was a few inches broad and several inches deep. Shen Nuo pursed his thin lips and got his silver needle and medicine thread. These equipments were used in traditional medical surgeries. He carefully slipped the end of the thread through the little hole of the needle and turned to Li Yan's shoulder.

The parted skin was slowly merged back and gently sewn. When it was done, Shen Nuo applied some painkilling substance upon the sewn wound along with a paste for quick recovery. Then he pulled out a gauze and tightened it across his chest, passing through his right waist and left shoulder, covering the wound completely.

All these times, Li Yan was deadly silent. His heart was in a mess. It ached. Since when did Shen Nuo start learning medicines? Shen Nuo was not a person who knew medicine... He knew almost everything, but not medicines...

After ending the work, Shen Nuo smiled cheerfully and slapped Li Yan on his back. "Ok! Now you can-"

But he stopped dead in the midway. His face drew pale. He subconsciously passed his palm slowly across Li Yan's bare back which he couldn't see from this angle.

His fingertips met with lines and lines of rough skin. Li Yan's skin was very smooth despite the martial arts he had practiced since small. But...

When did he have this kind of a ....

Shen Nuo jumped to the side of the bed and looked at Li Yan's back under the gloomy lamplight and gasped in horror. "Li Yan!"

There were hundreds of whip marks across his beautifully lined smooth back, scarring it ruthlessly. Shen Nuo felt his heart stop beating. "How did you get these marks Li Yan... You were never a person who would break rules or do mistakes to get punished like this."
