Chapter 29: Legendary Face-Changing Expert (Part 1)
I hid my face
A light laugh drifted over, and a hand appeared before me as a shadow fell across my form I jerked and wanted to run, but there was no way out
“What are you hiding for…?” Nongyu’s elboas propped up against the door behindas he spoke softly “Carry over the pills to me”
…who does he think he’s ordering around?
My eyes darted around the room
“What are you goggling at? There’s just the two of us here, and this medicine has to be secretly delivered to the noble consort[1] Don’t tell me you expect me to do it personally?”
I thought he’d seen through me
So it looked like he just wanted me to deliver some pills
Say it earlier so I won’t get nervous for nothing!
I turned sideways, bending down to duck beneath his arms and respectfully pour the pills into a bowl It was easier to hile kneeling on the ground, and I held the medicine with both hands as I walked towards him He didn’t say a word, but opened the doors to lead the way
Sunlight splashed against hiraceful form He half-turned his head to look at me out of the corner of his eye, and it looked as if he was s
Maybe I’ood weasel
He selected a different covered corridor with exquisite, complicated turns Water lapped at us frorew in their depths
No wonder this was the i out of a beautiful painting And no wonder Fang Hua would agree to come, when the flowers here outnumbered the ones outside by multiples Even if he ate as h meals to last him seven lifetimes
“Why haven’t I seen you before? Are you new?” he turned his body towards rin
The iyu took liberties with ladies of respectable families in the outside world…would he really pay attention to every single servant girl?
But uratively tied, so I bowed
“Yes, sire This one was brought in a few days ago Gong gong said that the imperial physicians needed more hands”
He nodded, casually shaking out his robes as he casually asked, “How many people are in your family?”
“My er brother, and an elder over 80 years old,” I recited back
In any case…in any case, it was all true
He raised his eyebroith a veiled s so It made a person…apprehensive
A patrol group passed by us, and he took a deep breath After the arrabbed lance of his own s ones as he led me around a corner Iainst a cool stone wall
“You still like to tell such blatant lies…” his body pressed forwards, and he er Sister Shào…”
Rage!
You stupid pill-purchasing physician, you kneho I was but pretended not to! I was forced to be the idiot who played along…nnngh…
With an earnest look, he covered my mouth with his hand and o Otherwise, if you attract the attention of the guards, I won’t protect you”
I narrowedrepeatedly He smiled but didn’t release me
In fact, he got even closer, fully givingas his breaths tickledalso made me sweat a little nervously He slowly lowered his head and stroked er
“So obedient…” the rest of his oily words dissolved with a sigh into the air
My eyes greider than ever, and it felt like I was suffocating All I could see was his handso into a s to jump out of my throat
His face drew closer to ainst his hand there, leaving a mark My body stiffened, and I flushed, at a loss for what to do
This was an alcove along the corridor, and there was no place for me to hide Thick walls encircledlotuses floated on the water, right by our forms…
Their delicate fragrance assailed the nose and hovered in the air about us It was a very romantic scene[2]
Only I didn’t feel this way at all Not to uy
My teeth flashed
“Alas…you actually bit me” he hastily withdrew his hand to examine it carefully Still, he had a sain “You should know there’s a lot of woyu”
I held back, my face very red, and took a deep breath
“Like I care about that! If you get fresh without a packet of powder “Be careful my poison doesn’t leave you an eternal bachelor[3]!”
He conored the powder to focus on my chest instead, amused “You hid so much stuff in there, but you’re still kind of flat…that’s rather worrying”
