You Were Not There, So What Will I Scream For?

(Translated by: RenRen, Edited by: Yzrahc`dryzzle, Proofread by: Strix)

If it could be said that Xiao Ye’s action before made Fu RuoQing felt dejected, then Xiao Chen’s action actually left Fu RuoQing aghast. Ninth Huang Shu who had always kept his distance from women would actually hold Jing Yue up in front of so many people and carry her out of the palace. For Fu RuoQing, his action was a huge blow.

She grew up together with Xiao Chen but Xiao Chen had never treated her as careful as he treated Jing Yue. The only skin contact happened between them was probably grasping hands. But now, this kind of intimate contact actually happened with another person. Xiao Chen’s action made Fu RuoQing’s heart burn with anger out of jealousy.

‘Jing Yue ah Jing Yue! I will never let you go!’

Xiao JingRan also had astonishment in his eyes when he saw Xiao Chen walking away carrying Jing Yue in his embrace. Xiao Chen actually treated Jing Yue so carefully and earnestly like this. This scene had caused something peculiar flash in Xiao JingRan’s heart. It seems, there was one more method to deal with Xiao Chen. Perhaps, Xiao Chen finally has a soft under-belly?

Xiao JingRan pursed his lips, his gaze went cold. Apparently, he needed to send some more people to pay attention to Jing Yue in order to guarantee that he would finally be able to give Xiao Chen a deathblow.

After Xiao Chen left, Xiao JingRan and the group of Imperial Concubines, one by one, also found an excuse to leave. Before leaving, the Empress Fei YaZhu slowly went towards Fu RuoQing and stood in front of her. She faintly said, “Imperial Consort Fu, this face of yours…… it seems for some time, it will not get better.”

The taunt inside those words made Fu RuoQing, who was already on the verge of exploding, suddenly become savage. Completely without any qualms, Fu RuoQing threw herself at Fei YaZhu shouting, “I’ll kill you!!!”

“Ah!” Fe YaZhu screamed in fear. In a flash, Fu RuoQing had already pushed her to the ground, ruthlessly strangling her delicate neck. Several maids standing at the sides were all frightened that they turned pale. They hastily went towards the two persons and pulled them apart. This dreadful matter spread into Emperor Xiao Ye’s ears.

Fu RuoQing was confined for one whole month. Meanwhile, the Empress used this matter as a pretext and invited the Emperor to stay in her palace. Jing Yue was a bit astonished when she heard Yin Qiao talked about it in the w.a.n.gfu. She had never thought that Fu RuoQing would be this impulsive. However, more than feeling a bit astonished, she was actually very delighted over Fu RuoQing’s disaster.

Fu RuoQing was confined… wouldn’t it mean that Jing Yue had a month to properly exercise her muscles and bones?

“Hurt hurt hurt……” Jing Yue who was watching Xiao Chen as he removed the gauze that covered her hand to change the medicine, suddenly started to shout.

“Why didn’t I hear you scream when you were being scalded?” Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at Jing Yue before raising his hand to throw the dirty gauze at the side. His frown becoming deep as he stare at Jing Yue’s wound. It really could scare anyone.

Jing Yue was looking at the wound on her hand. She quite nonchalantly said, “En (groan)…… You were not there, so what will I scream for?” she completely didn’t care about the ambiguous meaning her words might come out as. Xiao Chen’s hand was about to take the medicine when he heard Jing Yue’s words, it stopped for a moment and he lifted his eyes to stare at Jing Yue.

Seeing that after a long time Xiao Chen still hadn’t applied the medicine on her wounds, Jing Yue finally blinked her eyes and asked doubtfully, “Ei? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Xiao Chen lowered his gaze and started to carefully change the medicine on Jing Yue’s hand. If his gentle manner was to be seen by Xing Yi and the others, their eyes were probably going to drop to the ground from the shock.

Since when had this cold, b.l.o.o.d.y and violent master of theirs became this gentle?

“Done.” Said Xiao Chen as he released Jing Yue’s hand. He stared at the palm he had properly bandaged and nodded his head in satisfaction.

Jing Yue was dumbfounded. She raised the claw that Xiao Chen had bundled with who knows how many layers of gauze and her face immediately went black. Wasn’t it only scalded?

Did it have to be wrapped into a pig’s trotter like this? This…… How could she eat?

It was also because of this that Jing Yue could be said to be living like a pig for the past few days.
