Chapter 506 - Bone-Piercing Pain (1/2)

“Uh…”

Lin Mengya could not withhold a groan as she gritted her teeth and braced herself.

“Should I stop so you can rest for a while before we start again?”

Zuo Qiuyu was a little worried. To a normal person, the medicine was cold to touch.

However, catalyzed by the alcohol, it immediately brought great pain to Lin Mengya.

Seeing that her little face was drained of its colors and she was breaking out in cold sweat, Zuo Qiuyu could not bear to continue applying the ointment.

“It’s alright… please continue.”

Lin Mengya braced herself and gritted her teeth. Although the ointment was supposed to work miracles, she had not felt any other sensations other than pain.

She had to bear with it. Long Tianyu was waiting for her still.

“Alright, once you feel that you’re at breaking point, let me know so I will stop anytime.”

Seeing Lin Mengya’s determination, all Zuo Qiuyu could do was continue massaging Lin Mengya’s arm slowly using his palm.

The burning sensation seemed to challenge Lin Mengya’s limit for endurance.

Nevertheless, she could still hear Long Tianyu’s cries of agony and it greatly boosted her courage.

Lin Mengya laid paralyzed on the little bed, panting hard. It would appear that she had just been dragged out of water because her body was drenched with her perspiration.

“It’s going to be over soon.”

Elder Chang had told him that once the ointment seeped into her skin, he would have completed the procedure.

The blood-red ointment gradually turned into a pink color. Finally, the patches of pink color on arm was simply the result of Zuo Qiuyu’s continuous rubbing.

The ointment had been gradually absorbed by the skin.

However, the pain Lin Mengya endured had just begun.

“Ouch…”

An even more intense pain than before started to spread from her right arm.

If not for the fact that she was looking at her right arm that appeared completely fine, she would have thought that it had been roasted and burnt at this moment.

“Mengya, hang in there! You have to hang in there!”

Looking at how Lin Mengya cried out in agony and writhing, Zuo Qiuyu felt his heart tightened.

Elder Chang had said that as the injury recovered, the pain would subside simultaneously.

However, given the extent of Lin Mengya’s injury, she would have to endure the agony of the burning sensation for at least another half a month.

“I’m able to! I certainly can! Ouch! Please gag me! Please, my dear cousin!”

The pain she was suffering had exhausted Lin Mengya’s strength, which was not much to start with.

At this moment, she was inhaling much less air than she was taking in.

Her jet-black hair stuck to her fair forehead and she actually appeared to be in a more terrible state than Long Tianyu.

“Hang in there, cousin.”

Although Zuo Qiuyu could hardly bear to gag her, he still found a piece of clean cloth and stuffed it into Lin Mengya’s mouth.

The noises from within the room had gradually quietened.

Lin Mengya certainly did not wish for Long Tianyu to hear her cries of agony.

Zuo Qiuyu clenched his teeth with a pained heart as he watched his cousin, almost fainting with pain. Long Tianyu! If Long Tianyu dared bully Lin Mengya in the future, not only him, but the entire Nation of Lintian would not let him off!

She went in and out consciousness, but the waves of the climaxes of pain coming from her right arm were so real.

She managed to maintain her last bit of consciousness because of the working of the Shen Nung system.

However, she was even unable to perform the simple task of moving her finger tips.

“Your Highness… what’s happened, Your Highness?”

Yu An, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the room immediately saw the princess lying on the little bed, looking half-conscious and breathing weakly.

“Hush, don’t alarm anyone. You just carry out what you have to do. Do not even talk about what you see here today.”

Zuo Qiuyu sat down quietly beside Lin Mengya, guarding her. There was a mixed expression on his face.

He had always thought that this young lady was just as capable as his brother, the emperor.

Never would he expect her to go out of her mind when it came to matters of romantic love.

Looking at Lin Mengya, the scene before his eyes overlapped with his memory of his brother five years ago.

However…

He lowered his head and gently parted the hair on Lin Mengya’s forehead.

He wished that this lass would get to enjoy a blissful outcome in the future.

Without realizing how much time had passed, Lin Mengya gradually woke up from her subconsciousness.

At this moment, she realized that she was wearing a set of dry clothes and was even lying on someone else’s bed.

After pondering over it, she supposed Zuo Qiuyu must have carried her here.

Pinching her glabella, she thought the pain she was going through was too hard to bear.

“You’re awake, Your Highness. Please let me, your servant help you wash your face.”

A gentle voice echoed through the air and when Lin Mengya looked up, what she saw was a pretty but unfamiliar face.

After she tried to recall, indeed she seemed to be one of the maidservants in the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

She supposed the maidservant must have helped her change into this new set of clothes.

She broke into a weak smile at the thought that she had been a trouble to the maidservant.

“Thank you very much.”
