Chapter 5.2 (1/2)

Qi Er Lun was flabbergasted. Operation? Since the ancient times, only Hua Tuo dared to cut open a human’s abdominal area. “Could the Princess be referring to Huo Tuo? Furthermore, these have never been seen in the markets. How does the Princess know their name and use?”

“If you were just to talk about Hua Tuo, my master is even more skilled than Hua Tuo! As for these flowers, they are recorded in the Flower Encyclopaedia. Two years prior, the reason why I travelled with my master to the great plains, was to find these Five Coloured Bewildering b.u.t.terflies. The great plains’ topography is very special, so we thought they would grow there. In contrast to our expectations, it seems they grow in caves or rock crevices. No wonder, no matter what, we could not find them.”

What she said should have been the truth. When he was in the great plains, the injuries he sustained were not light, yet this master and disciple pair were able to save him.

“Princess, there is a high chance that a thunderstorm will occur. We must leave here quickly. these flowers will be picked on our return trip.”

“All right!”

Qi Er Lun held onto her thin waist, and as he was about to exit the cave, heavy rain poured down and thunder roared. Without any choice, they returned back inside.

The temperature inside the cave was originally very cold, and the rain’s water vapour lowered the temperature even further.

“It turns out that these Five Coloured Bewildering b.u.t.terflies draw water out from within the rocks. Additionally, the colder it is, the brighter their colouring. With this rain, the budding flowers from before have all started to bloom. It looks like I am not able to move them away from here.” After returning back to the cave, Fang Yun Luo diligently investigated  the Five Coloured Bewildering b.u.t.terflies further, gathering all the information available.

Qi Er Lun was studying the formation of this natural cave. “This is a good place to practise martial arts.”

“If you could live here, it would definitely be great. You would have a natural rock bed, rock table, rock chair and vines as a curtain. It is a great place to practise pill making.” Fang Yun Luo had thought the same.

“Princess, you are from a n.o.ble family and actually want to live here!”

“I am not one to be restricted. If not for the Imperial Decree, I would have long gone wandering with my master, while practising my medical skills and not have the Princess position. In all honesty, I can give the Princess position to your concubine, but that would have to be after a few years. I do not want to ruin the Prime Minister’s good reputation.”

“Is this the reason why you will not allow me to touch you?”

“Not completely.” She muttered, and after a short pause: “I do not wish to compete with others for love. I believe there is only one, true love. I wish for a partner that will accompany only me forever.”

Qi Er Lun was unable to take his eyes off her, as he listened. She was special, her way of thinking was also special. She really is an incredible woman; no wonder he was mesmerised by her.

But what was one, true love? This was clearly an excuse of not wanting to compete with others for love. What man did not have three-four wives?

Fang Yun Luo lowered her head as he stared at her, and at that moment, the cold temperature at started to affect her. As she stood up, she crossed her arms across her chest, and started to s.h.i.+ver slightly.

Qi Er Lun’s internal strength was very profound, so he was naturally unafraid of the cold. Taking off his cloak, he draped it over her and pulled her into his arms.

She could only allow Qi Er Lun to hug and warm herself with his body’s warmth.

“My Lord, that fragrance is nice isn’t it?” She was still s.h.i.+vering but because her nose was more sensitive than the average the flowers, possessing a natural paralysis, made her sleepy.

“Princess, you smell sweeter than the flowers.” He replied as he rubbed her head. The flower’s fragrance was not as mesmerising as the fragrance from her body.

“How ticklis.h.!.+” She nudged him lightly and said: “My Lord, do not be rash. Last time you…….last you have kissed someone’s mouth.”

Don’t be rash? That d.a.m.ned agreement!

“This Lord still wants to kiss your mouth.” He softly licked her lip. Not kissing her, not touching her, he would have to work very hard.

Fang Yun Luo did not refuse, but could not help but to tease and remind him: “My Lord, you have promised this servant not to touch her.”

“Where is the evidence?”

“The bright moon is the evidence.”

“Where is the bright moon?”
