I RELY ON BREASTFEEDING TO STABILISE THE DISEASE (17)
17. POISONING
Gu Xian tried his best to control the clamor in his heart. He hugged her to bed and cleaned up the stains on her lower body little by little.
Chu Ran looked at Gu Xian in amazement as he took out the silk and scrubbed her finely, his movements were so gentle and he looked so focused.
Chu Ran silently pulled the quilt over her head. What happened to her? She said she hated him for two lifetimes. Said she will never meet again? What she was nervous about was having physical contact with him, and now she was also looking forward to have physical contact with him. The two of them were like having an invisible attraction, they naturally approached each other.
Someone outside came to report: "Wangye, the emperor announced that you see him right away."
Without raising his head, Gu Xian continued to wipe the pretty little pussy carefully: "I know."
After a while, Gu Xian got up and said, "Ran Ran come with me. Let's enter the palace together."
Chu Ran, who was still in the quilt, frowned.
Gu Xian lifted the quilt, moved his fingertips to the back of her neck, and then she fell asleep.
When Chu Ran was asleep, she was directly packed and taken away, and when she woke up, she was already in the palace.
The place where she lay was very spacious, covered with a thin silk quilt, and she could clearly hear the sound of the wheels and horses hoof stepping on the ground.
The light in the carriage was very dim, and Chu Ran stared at the roof cover above for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Whatever, as long as she was still alive.
Chu Ran felt that she might have picked up her family's ancestral tomb in her previous lives for her to be cleaned up like this again and again.
Gu Xian hooked his lips and asked: "Awake?"
Chu Ran turned her head and saw his face up close. Trying to be as natural as possible, she asked: "Where is this going?"
Gu Xian smiled slightly, his expression was natural: "We are almost at the palace."
"Why are you taking me?"
Gu Xian scanned her with a playful look, and then said meaningfully, "In case my milk addiction act up, and you're not here again by my side, what should I do?"
Chu Ran's mood was slightly complicated.
Seeing tea on the small table next to her, she deliberately turned away from the weird atmosphere and picked up the cup to pour the tea and handed it to him, turning her head to look at him: "Wangye please drink."
Gu Xian took the cup and smelled the light fragrance of the tea: "This is a good tea!"
Chu Ran sighed secretly. Before she had time to say anything, she saw a strange look on his face, shaking his head, looking very sorry.
"...it's something harmful."
In Chu Ran's puzzled gaze, Gu Xian turned sideways and poured a little tea on the open space next to him.
The moment the clear tea fell on the wooden plank, it began to bubble with a little bit of heat, and quickly melted a small piece of the wooden plank.
Chu Ran's heart almost stopped.
She stared at the wooden plank blankly, and stammered: "Is this... toxic?"
After speaking, she remembered that the tea was handed to Gu Xian by her. If he really drank it... thinking so, her complexion changed, and she hurriedly said, "I didn't do it!" Although she was a spy, she doesn't dare to do it at the moment.
She was annoyed. Why did she even hand over some tea!
Gu Xian's expression was very calm. He put away the cup in his hand unhurriedly, and said calmly, "I know."
"..."
Chu Ran, who had just prepared countless words to defend herself, choked.
"There are too many people who wants me dead." Gu Xian raised his eyes and smiled comfortingly at her.
Chu Ran was relieved that he believed her. Suddenly, she felt that Gu Xian was more pleasant to the eye.
She saw Gu Xian touching her jade hand, smiling very softly: "Those who wants to murder Ben Wang, Ben Wang will pay them back ten times."
Chu Ran was frightened, if her current spy identity was discovered, it would be a dead end for her.
She had lived for two lives, and the ending was so miserable. Now this third life...
Chu Ran turned her head, and gritted her teeth.
If it is still like this this time, she will definitely squeeze Gu Xian to death before she dies, and let him pay her back first!
After such a set back, Chu Ran didn't have any interest in continuing to chat. She sat quietly in the same place and started to zone out. Gu Xian was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, his face was as calm as water, and had a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, don't know what he was thinking about.
Before long, the gates of the palace were opened one by one, the palace wall of red and glazed tiles stretched for dozens of miles, with almost no end in sight. The majestic palace towered solemnly. They arrived at the imperial palace.
Gu Xian was going to meet the emperor first, so he said a few words to Chu Ran and then left. Chu Ran was taken to the resting place by the palace to wait for him.
In the evening, the emperor prepared a celebration banquet for Gu Xian, and Gu Xian brought Chu Ran to attend.
At the main seat, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe stood majestically at the front of the crowd. With the help of the maid, he finally sat down on the dragon chair. Then, Chu Ran heard a hoarse and thick voice. "Today, Zhen(朕, we/I, a pronoun used to refer to oneself in third person but mostly used by emperors) will host a banquet for my fifth imperial son. You don't need to be polite beloved officials."
Chu Ran knew that it was the emperor of the entire Qin Wen Dynasty, Emperor Wen Han.
It wasn't until they saw the other concubines in the palace and the high ranked officials sitting down that the others slowly took their seats.
Chu Ran was now a servant girl who pours wine next to Gu Xian. When the wine in Gu Xian's glass is gone, she fills it up . Chu Ran sighed helplessly.
Gu Xian held up the wine glass and turned around in front of Chu Ran's eyes, with a wicked smile, the tip of his tongue drew into the wine and lightly licked it up, looking straight at Chu Ran blushing face.
Bah! Pervert! Chu Ran spurned him silently in her heart.
Just when she was pouring wine with no interest and without answering, a pair of thin and long phoenix eyes stared at her from a distance, in this night, like a ghost.
