CHAPTER 13. Parasitic Poison

Translator: Flying Lines

“I’ll give you acupuncture every day and do some rehabilitation. Your legs will get recovered soon.” said Mu Xiyue.

Long Yinfeng gazed at her with gleaming eyes, held her hand and sighed, “If I knew you were mine, I would have taken you back desperately.”

“But even if you brought me back five years ago, that was not this ‘me’!” thought Mu Xiyue in her heart.  

She felt his pulse quietly and then looked at him with confused look.

She frowned more and more seriously before she looked up at him and asked, “You’re poisoned?”

Long Yinfeng took back his hand and replied indifferently, “Yes. And I knew it.”

Mu Xiyue strained her eyes and looked at him in shock, “You knew it? Then why didn’t you see a doctor? Can it be detoxified?”

The pain flashed in Long Yinfeng’s eyes and he frowned, “If it can, you wouldn’t found it today.”

Mu Xiyue took his hand and offered, “Let me feel your pulse again. It doesn’t seem like any simple poison.”

She learnt traditional Chinese medical science and she liked to solve difficult illness cases.

If she managed to detoxify him, maybe she would learn more in terms of poison.

She checked him again with fixed attention. Suddenly, she felt it wasn’t the real poison.

“Weird!” she murmured. She was totally confused about the so-called poison.

Long Yinfeng noticed the confused look on the face and replied “It’s parasitic poison.”

Mu Xiyue looked at him and asked, “Parasitic poison?”

She saw that on the Internet and TV. Such parasitic poison should be a sorcery from a secret tribe. Put inside someone’s body, it could manipulate everything of that guy, even including his life.

Mu Xiyue was thrilled. Such mysterious sorcery brought up her strong thirst for knowledge.

She gazed at him firmly and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll cure you of your legs. And I’ll try everything I can to detoxify you.”

Long Yinfeng replied indifferently, “It doesn’t matter. I was poisoned for years and I’m still alive.”

Mu Xiyue knew he must have suffered quite a lot of pain and torment that others could not even stand，though he pretended that he didn’t care.

“Do you know who poisoned you?” asked Mu Xiyue.

Long Yinfeng shook his hand and replied helplessly, “I was badly hurt five years ago and I fell ill. It was then I was poisoned.”

“What did you feel then? Did you see any doctor?” asked she again.

Everything happened five years ago. What a coincidence! Obviously, someone wanted to kill him!

Long Yinfeng frowned. In his memories, the parasitic poison broke out on the fifteenth day of every month. The pain penetrated even to the marrow and he felt he was almost torn up! He couldn’t remember how he went through the terrible days.

He signed and replied, “With parasitic poison in my body, I can’t use my internal force. Nothing worse. And the parasitic poison is an evil sorcery. Ordinary doctors are unable to cure it.”

“Do you have books about parasitic poison? I want read some and learn about more details.” asked Mu Xiyue. After all, she only heard about parasitic poison before and she wasn’t familiar with it. Right at this moment, she had to learn more about it so that she could find specific ways.

Long Yinfeng replied gently, “I have some. But they’re in my mansion out of the palace.”

“You have your own mansion?” asked Mu Xiyue in shock.  

Long Yinfeng smiled and replied, “Sure, I do. But I’m in poor health, you know. My father asked me to live here so that I couldn’t be better taken care of.”

“But no imperial maids or eunuchs work for you in this place.” Mu Xiyue curled her lips and complained, “Why don’t we live in your own mansion? We’ll be free and we can go out whenever we want.”

Long Yinfeng started at her and replied, “If you want to live in our own mansion, let’s move out after the Gathering Feast finishes.”

“Great!” replied Mu Xiyue happily.

In the following days, she stayed with Long Yinfeng. Every day after doing the acupuncture, she entered her invisible treasure chest and made up a prescription to nurse his body.

Soon, the Gathering Feast day came. Yanzi dressed Mu Xiyue up. With a towering bun on her head, she wore a small milk white jasmine hairpin and a big golden hairpin. She was in a long dress while a plain painted waistband stayed around her slim waist. Thought she only wore a light makeup, she already looked as pretty as a fairy.

Long Yinfeng gazed at her, which made her rather shy.

Her face flushed and she looked into his eyes. Oh, he was dressed up, too.

His black was slicked carefully into a bun with a purple golden crown inlaid with precious stones. He looked mighty and extraordinary.

The violet robe with green embroidery displayed his tall figure. If he could stand up, all women in the world would be crazy for him!

Long Yinfeng stared at her with a faint smile and said, “Let’s go. The feast is starting.”

With a blushing face, Mu Xiyue looked back and wheeled him out of Chaoyang Palace.

The Gathering Feast was held in Xiaguang Hall. On their way to the hall, they saw imperial maids and eunuchs rushing around. Seemed like it would be a grand party.

When they arrived, officials of all ranks had been present. Noble Concubine Shu and the empress sat on two sides and between them was the throne for the emperor.

Mu Xiyue wheeled Long Yinfeng to his seat. Opposite them sat Long Yichen and his Concubine Xia.

A lot of guys seized Mu Xiyue and Long Yinfeng with curious eyes, which really annoyed Mu Xiyue. She frowned unhappily.

Long Yinfeng, however, didn’t care at all. He leisurely enjoyed his tea.

“Here comes His Majesty!” There came a sharp voice of a eunuch. Meanwhile, Long Jingsong strode in, in the yellow imperial robe.

Everyone stood up and greeted with one voice, “Long live Your Majesty.”

Long Jingsong sat in his throne and relied, “Get up. Don’t stand on the ceremony.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Everyone was seated back. There came the eunuch’s voice again, “Your Majesty. Envoys from Western Shu asked to see you.”

Two men, dressed up like foreigners, walked in. Different from men in Central Plains, they two were tall with prominent facial features. Their brooding blue eyes looked quite attractive.

They gave a saluted to Long Jingsong, just as ordinary men in Central Plains did. Then they said, “Long live Your Majesty and wish you the best of health.”

Long Jingsong replied with a satisfied smile, “Don’t stand on ceremony. Please be seated.”

The envoys, all of a sudden, turned to Long Yinfeng. One of them said in a sarcastic tone, “Prince Yinfeng, how have you been recently? I hear you were badly injured in the battle five years ago and you couldn’t stand up again? You can no longer fight a battle. Oh, what a pity!”

Long Yinfeng played with the tea cup in his hand and replied casually, “I can no longer fight a battle. But I can still command my troops and guide them to wipe out our enemies!”
