What an Audacious and Sly Servant! - Chapitre 76

Chapitre 76 – Feeding Medicine

“Votre Majesté, we’ve arrived at the relay station. Please get off for a rest.”

Initially Chu Xun was laying against the wall of the carriage while closing his eyes and rest. Hearing Zhao Mo Ran, il a ouvert les yeux. The Emperor who had always been particular to his appearance had experienced a whole day of rush. Maintenant, a layer of beard stubbles had grew on his chin. The rim of his eyes were greenish-black and his hair was messy. His mood was always bad so his skin too had turned coarse. His subordinates kept seeing him with his eyebrows knitting. They had never see him this scary.

Chu Xun had sat too long. Both his legs were tingling and he couldn’t move them for now. He looked at the scenery outside the window and asked, “How much longer before we reach the capital city?”

“Tonight we’ll be able to reach the outskirt of the capital.”

“Il est devenu incompatible avec ceux qui l'entouraient. Zhen will walk two steps outside the carriage. Just send the food inside here.” Chu Xun crouched down as he slowly moved out of the carriage. When he passed by Mei Qian Deng, he suddenly remembered something and said to Zhao Mo Ran, “And let someone bring some warm water over.”

Zhao Mo Ran obeyed his order and left.

Chu Xun exercised a bit. He was still worried of Mei Qian Deng so he returned into the carriage. He sat on his legs beside Mei Qian Deng while staring foolishly at female warrior Mei. Mei Qian Deng’s eyelashes were thick but not long. Quand elle a ouvert les yeux, her double eyelids were not too obvious. They folded inside. Now when she closed her eyes, the double eyelids were more obvious.

The Mei Qian Deng in front of him seemed to be just sleeping. Her breathing was calm and there was nothing peculiar with her expression. Chu Xun sometimes would naively believe, in the next moment after he blinked his eyes, Mei Qian Deng would wake up.

“You must be the girl with the biggest guts in the whole world. Zhen call you to wake up every day yet you ignored zhen. Disobeying the imperial decree will have to chop head you know?” Chu Xun extended his hand. With his finger, he stroked female warrior Mei’s forehead, entering a thinking aloud state.

Mei Qian Deng was currently obedient. Si c'était dans le passé, Chu Xun would be jumping around while pointing at her nose and screamed, “What an audacious, sly servant!” and female warrior Mei would surely make an innocent and unafraid-of-death face. Chu Xun remembered the brief time when they were young and revealed a light smile. “Mais, you have always been the audacious and sly servant. Zhen can never cure you of it.”

Après un certain temps, Chu Xun became restless again. “Zhen say, you’re someone who likes to move around. A day without dancing and play with spear and your body will be itchy. Mais, it has been so many days already. Don’t you feel uncomfortable laying inside the carriage without moving?”

Chu Xun’s sly hand left Mei Qian Deng’s forehead and moved downwards to the edge of the quilt and pulled out one of female warrior Mei’s white hand from the quilt. That hand was wrapped with gauze. It was the one injured by the assassin’s attack. Chu Xun held Mei Qian Deng’s hand impertinently. Because the back of the hand and the palm was wrapped in gauze, he rubbed her fingertips one by one.

He continued to talk to himself with his head down, “Plus, you’re a neat and tidy person. You have to take a bath every day. It has been so many days already. Smell yourself. The sour smell on your body. Leng Xiaoqian a crié furieusement quand elle a senti le regard étrange de Chen Mo, can you bear with it? If you can’t bear with it, then wake up now.”

Female warrior Mei, “……”

Chu Xun didn’t get any response. An anger suddenly burst in his heart. He was actually angry of himself. The Emperor who had no way to release that anger could only pound his hand violently on the floor of the carriage. He was so angry his eyes were slightly reddish. He pounced forward and hugged Mei Qian Deng’s neck and head. He even rubbed himself at female warrior Mei’s neck, “Mei Qian Deng, Je t'en supplie, please don’t have any problem.”

With one hand holding the copper washbasin and a serving tray in another hand, Zhao Mo Ran returned to the front of the carriage. He instantly saw Chu Xun’s head and hands covering the chest of the laying down Mei Qian Deng. Although Mei Qian Deng’s body had a quilt on top, what could merely a silk quilt cover? Zhao Mo Ran’s eyebrows twitched. He truly believed this action of His Majesty which took advantage of her difficulty to eat a young girl’s tofu was a wrong action.

“Votre Majesté!”

“Il est devenu incompatible avec ceux qui l'entouraient?”

“Please have a meal.” Zhao Mo Ran put the serving tray at the entrance of the carriage. Sa signification était claire: An injured patient is sleeping inside the carriage, there is a need to maintain the carriage’s interior cleanliness.

Chu Xun propped himself up. He didn’t even look at the food and only asked, “Pass them to zhen.”

Young Master Zhao was a subject who had proper teaching. Even though he was not happy in his heart, on the surface he was still respectful as he passed a bowl of black medicine and a washbasin to him. In the passing, he reminded him, “Votre Majesté, the medicine is still quite hot.”

“Where does the medicine come from?” Chu Xun doubted. Because the poison Mei Qian Deng inflicted with was unknown, the physicians previously didn’t dare to use any medicine.

“Little Seventh didn’t have any meal for these two days. Afraid of her body being too hungry and can’t hold long, a few physicians discussed and prescribed a mild qi supplementing medicine.”

Chu Xun held the decoction and checked it a moment. There was no abnormality. He then put the medicine at the side. D'abord, he held Mei Qian Deng’s injured hand and removed the gauze to change the bandage. The medicine inside the carriage was a complete set. Chu Xun previously specially called that female shadow bodyguard that knew medical skills to have a short training. Now he was very proficient in changing Mei Qian Deng’s bandage. Mei Qian Deng’s wound healed very fast. It was only a few days yet it had already formed a scab.

The Chu Xun who was changing bandage for Mei Qian Deng was far more earnest and concentrated than the Emperor who was reading over the memorandums at the dragon desk.

“Aiqing Zhao, go and eat first. Après avoir mangé, tell everyone to depart faster.” Chu Xun was so busy he didn’t lift his head.

The quick-witted Zhao Mo Ran instantly replied, “Chen had ate already. We have yet to finish the rations on some of the horses and still have to wait a moment. Votre Majesté, do you need chen to help?”

Entendre ça, the scheming Emperor raised his head and glanced at Zhao Mo Ran. Zhao Mo Ran didn’t know if he saw it wrong. He seemed to see His Majesty’s beautiful eyes lost the pitch-black iris. It was only a blink when he heard Chu Xun coldly answered, “Ce n'est pas nécessaire.”

Since he said no need, bien alors. D'où, Zhao Mo Ran insisted on guarding at the entrance of the carriage while staring closely at Chu Xun’s every move.

A l'intérieur du chariot, Chu Xun had finished changing her bandage. He gently put Mei Qian Deng’s hand back inside the quilt. In the passing, he stroked female warrior Mei’s forehead. His affectionate gaze unintentionally revealed his feeling just like how romantic people looked since ages ago. He was drunk in bliss alone for a moment. The concoction beside him had nearly cooled down. The Emperor who had do things personally to take care of Mei Qian Deng naturally would want to personally feed female warrior Mei the medicine.

Il y a quelques jours, there was no experience of feeding medicine. Chu Xun scooped up a spoon of concoction and recalled the scene when his Imperial Father was sick and Imperial Mother fed him medicine. This didn’t seem like a difficult problem. He only needed to put the spoon beside the patient’s mouth and carefully, slowly feed it down……

Comme ça, Chu Xun’s eyes were wide open as he saw the medicine he tried to feed at Mei Qian Deng’s mouth flowed out. The liquid quickly trickled to her ear. He was in a flurry and pulled his own sleeve to wipe clean Mei Qian Deng’s face first. Puis, he entered a deep, serious analysis.

The medicine can’t be fed inside?

Why can’t the medicine go inside?

What to do since the medicine won’t go inside?

En tant que monarque d'une nation, it was unknown from which storybook he saw the scene or he had inherited his ancestors’ memory as Chu Xun’s mind bulb lighted up. He suddenly thought of a way——feeding medicine, feeding medicine. At the side of the feeding word (喂) there was a mouth word (口). Of course it was feeding using mouth!

The smart one was still Chu Xun, the incredible one was still Chu Xun and the creative one was still Chu Xun.

Penser ainsi, Chu Xun moved instantly. He drank a big mouthful of it. His cheeks bulged like a greedy squirrel hiding lots of nuts inside its mouth. He thought with this, he could slowly feed her mouth to mouth. He would be able to keep on kissing her and hence took a large amount in one go.

He aimed at Mei Qian Deng’s cherry small mouth. That cherry small mouth before long would have a breath passed through from him……

“Votre Majesté!”

A cry out in alarm.

Chu Xun with his cheeks bulging instinctively raised his head to see what was wrong.

Zhao Mo Ran’s eyes were open wide in utter disbelief, “Votre Majesté, Qu'essayez-vous de faire?”

En ce moment, Chu Xun clearly rolled his eyes. His mouth still had the concoction so he couldn’t talk. He could only point at himself before pointing at Mei Qian Deng. Aiqing Zhao, zhen is doing such an obvious thing. Can’t you understand it by seeing?

Without obtaining the consent of his boss, Zhao Mo Ran directly jumped into the carriage and anxiously said, “Votre Majesté, forgive chen for being nosy. What you’re doing now is improper! Our mouth is not really clear and Little Seventh is poisoned. Her body is still very weak. What if you passed dirty things from your body to her? The result may be very bad!”

Chu Xun really wanted to drink down the medicine and roared at him: Which part of zhen is dirty? Zhen is the dignified monarch of a nation. Initialement, zhen can have a harem of three thousand beauties yet up until twenty years old zhen still keeps my body as pure as a jade, a little virgin boy. You better tell zhen clearly where the hell zhen’s body is unclean!

Zhao Mo Ran didn’t care how the Emperor’s eyes were as big as a cow as he continued to spread the scientific knowledge.

“Votre Majesté, you only need to clip it at Little Seventh’s lower lip to loosen up her jaws. Puis, it’s fine to slowly send the medicine inside. Regarde ça, just like this!” He took away the spoon inside Chu Xun’s bowl and scooped a small amount of medicine. Puis, he opened Mei Qian Deng’s jaws and slowly poured the concoction inside.

Chu Xun’s face darkened.

Zhao Mo Ran pretended he didn’t see it and continued talking, “Votre Majesté, it’s not enough for you alone to help feeding medicine. It’s better to let chen help instead!”

……Chu Xun who couldn’t take it further, swallowed that mouthful of bitter medicine.

Tu dois savoir, Chu Xun since he was a child had a bad relationship with the Imperial Physician Bureau. Raison? Because he hated eating medicine the most!

Actuellement, this mouthful of medicine plus the surging anger made the Emperor had a desire to kill someone. He gritted his teeth and contained his fury before spatting out a word, “Scram——”

[Mini Theatre]

Mei Qian Deng (╰_╯)#: I will only ask you all one thing. You’re fighting for just a bowl of medicine but did you ever consider my feeling who is laying on the floor without any movement?

Xiao Jing Zi _(:avec」∠)_: Nucai will only ask one thing too. Votre Majesté, have you ever consider or should be searching for nucai’s whereabouts? Nucai is your personal eunuch! Nucai had disappeared, who will be taking care of your daily life?! Look at Xiao Xian girl, Sixth Young Master Mei searched for her until his heart almost break.
