Chapter 76 Part 2 — Are you eating vinegar? (1/2)

Xiao Xi turned and left, and not long after, b.u.mped into met Nangong Yin.

The moment Nangong Yin saw Xiao Xi, his eyes fell on her forehead. Walking over to her, he pointed at finger a her forehead, not daring to touch the red skin and asked, ”Xi-er, what happened?”

Xiao Xi felt a hint of anger in Nangong Yin's voice, she smiled and said, ”Nothing, it'll heal after just a few days.”

”Who'd hurt you?” Nangong Yin held her onto arm as his moon like eyes turned dull.

Xiao Xi wanted to say it was that adulterer -Leng Yuhan, but then remembered that she was about to leave Nanling, that adulterer couldn't hurt her, so why would she create another enemy for Nangong Yin?

”I accidently hit myself against the wall.” She already owed a lot to Nangon Yin, so she doesn't want him to worry anymore.

Nangong Yin stared at Xiao Xi's lowered head. Her feather like eyelashes casted a shadow on her cheeks, making her looks especially soft. Nangong Yin's heart flipped and didn't continue asking.

”Xi-er, come with me for some medicine.”

Xiao Xi had already been out for a while, and didn't want to follow him just to treat her forehead. This little injury, actually was fine, but after seeing Nangong Yin's worried look, the words that she wanted to say, failed to come out.

”I have some good ointments in my Palace, it can quickly heal your forehead.”

Hearing his words, Xiao Xi did not hesitate to follow him to the East Palace.

If she went back with this injury, she was afraid that Feng Lingran would question her. The adulterer was the Guo Shi (Imperial Scholar) of Nanling, and he had connections with Imperial Consort Ji, unlike Yun Shaofu, who was only a minister's daughter. Xiao Xi remembered last night, she was afraid that Feng Lingran would go find Leng Yuhan for revenge. Knowing Feng Lingran's personality, his domineeringly aura would be enough to instill fear into countless people, but… this was Nanling, not Eastern Jin.

East Palace.

Nangong Yin grabbed a jade bottle, dipped his fingers into the transparent ointment before gently applying it onto her injured forehead. Xiao Xi sat in front of the bronze mirror, watching reflected Nangong Yin and his gentleness. She stared at his jade finger ma.s.saging her forehead, and a warm feeling entered her heart.

Such a good man! She was so fortunate to meet him!

He rubbed the ointment onto her skin with care. until it was completely absorbed into her injured area. Only when the wound had disappeared did he retract his hand.

Nangong Yin handed the jade bottle over to Xiao Xi, including a piece of jade pendant, saying, ”Keep it save, and don't lose it again.”

Xiao Xi stared in amazement at her forehead. Not even a scar was visible, this ointment was too magical, what a treasure ah!

Xiao Xi studied the jade bottle and the jade talisman in her palm. Wasn't this the important treasure he gave her when she first entered the Pill PoG.o.da? It had disappeared when she went back to Feng Lingran and she had tried looking for it, but she couldn't find it anywhere. So how come it was in Nangong Yin's hands again?
