Chapter 51: Lord Ming is so overbearing

Proofreader: Prof. Zhu Yuan

Ruan Jiujiu had run away!

Hearing that, Beiming Xuan’s face became dark.

How dare this stupid chick!

She even dared to ignore his command and ran away secretly!

“My lord, what should we do now? Let me bring her back?” Ning Chao looked at Beiming Xuan and suggested.

“Tie her back!” Beiming Xuan roared.

Shocked for once, Ning Chao turned back and was going to leave, and Beiming Xuan added, “As soon as possible.”

Ning Chao understood his master’s meaning instantly-- Beiming Xuan had no idea about where Ruan Jiujiu was now.

Having searched around in the capital city, Ning Chao led others directly to the Ruan Mansion.

There, Ruan Qingqing had awaken from the coma, and just finished listening to the recount of Cai Wu.

The treasures were surely poisonous, and no one could tell what kind of poison it was except Ruan Jiujiu!

She couldn’t believe that.

She didn’t care about others’ opinions, but was sure that Ruan Jiujiu never had any medical skills at all.

But how could she have the poison-testing skill?

“Are you sure of that?” Ruan Qingqing asked Cai Wu again.

Cai Wu knew that she could not accept it, neither could she. However, that was the fact.

“My infanta, I think you should take good care of your hand first.”

Her words made Ruan Qingqing even more angry, because Ruan Jiujiu had not only broken her finger, and also made her faint away in public!

She hated Ruan Jiujiu so much now.

“Send someone out to ask...”

“My infanta, some guys from Lord Ming Mansion have been here! They said they wanted to find Miss Ruan!” A maiden suddenly rushed in, shouted in panic.

Miss Ruan? It referred to Ruan Jiujiu. But the name of Lord Ming really scared them all.

“Lord... Lord Ming?” Ruan Qingqing also trembled.

“Not him, but his guards.”

“I’ll take a look.” She stood up and hurried to the gate.

She saw a man in black standing afar, and she couldn’t help stopping there, because he was cold and arrogant, which made her feel pressured just at a glance.

He was just the guard of Lord Ming, so it was hard to imagine what kind of momentum Lord Ming had. And Ruan Jiujiu, this bitch could even be his maiden!

Ruan Qingqing tried her best to calm down, and walked toward Ning Chao.

“General, may I ask why you come to my home? ”

Ning Chao took a glance over her face and said nothing.

Ruan Qingqing was stunned.

At least she was Infanta Lianhua in the capital city, and also the future wife of the prince. She was so talented and beautiful that no one from the loyal family would be cruel to her, and she had never been ignored by men.

So she could not accept his response.

But Ning Chao would never care about her feelings, and when he saw Zou Meng come to him with other guards, he coldly asked, “Have you found her?”

“Sorry, She is not here,” Zou Meng replied truthfully. After all, he had searched every corner here.

“Let’s go.” Short but decisive, treating Ruan Qingqing like the air, Ning Chao waved his hand and led others leave quickly.

Watching them leaving, Ruan Qingqing clenched her small fists.

“My infanta...” Cai Wu called tentatively.

Ruan Qingqing’s eyes flashed with resentment, and said angrily, “Let’s go to see the Empress!”

For Ning Chao, after leaving the Ruan Mansion, he scattered his men for finding Ruan Jiujiu again. Since Beiming Xuan wanted to find Ruan Jiujiu, no matter how hard it was, as the servant, he must try his best to find her.

But this time he really had no idea where to find her.

Actually, with the help of those informants of Lord Ming, as well as his other servants and guards, Ning Chao could easily find someone out in this city, even if he could fly in the sky.

But Ruan Jiujiu seemed to have evaporated in the air this time.

So weird!

“May be she has hidden somewhere?” Mu Rong suggested. Since he had heard the news that Ruan Jiujiu disappeared, he had been paying great attention to this issue.

Ning Chao cast a secret glance to his unhappy master, and instantly declared, “My lord, please trust me, I must find her out no matter where she is.”

But Beiming Xuan still didn’t make a sound.

When they two struggled with this issue, Beiming Xuan suddenly asked, “Is there anyone from the Palace?”

“No.” Ning Chao shook his head.

Beiming Xuan squinted his eyes.

The Emperor Tianlong must have no patience for waiting, even if he could, his Concubine Dan not.

“Any message from the Palace? ”

“It is a mess there. Because of the Wusi poison, Emperor Tianlong decided to investigate thoroughly. And the sixth prince also cried in front of the Emperor and said that his mother was critically sick, which bothered him too much. So I think he has no time to think of us.” Ning Chao replied truthfully.

Has no time?

Beiming Xuan snorted, because he knew that the Emperor was actually bothered by Ruan Jiuju. No matter how busy he was, he must carve out time to deal with her.

But at this moment, Ruan Jiujiu was wandering in the Taixu.

Even the word Taixu was conceived by herself for a long time. Because now she felt weightless, and was so weak that all things in her eyes were white.

She blinked hard, and finally figured out the two Chinese characters behind: Medical Treatment.

And there was a line of English translation under it.

Really? Two languages together?

Have I come back to the modern times? She opened her eyes wider, and found two more characters: Daily Medical.

And there was also a line of English translation below!

Shockingly, Ruan Jiujiu suddenly found everything in front of her eyes becoming clearer, and she also saw rows of shelves arranged neatly, which were full of items.

She had no idea how long the shelves were, and how many items they contained.They seemed to be endless.

What the fuck?

“Ah...”

Suddenly the headache struck, which made her clench teeth, then she heard a voice.

“Has she waken up?” It was an impatient voice.

“Not yet. I have fed her the antidote twice, but she just doesn’t wake up.”

“Wake her up after the time of burning out one pillar of incense!”

She was able to tell that the voice belonged to Emperor Tianlong!

She could only remember that after she climbed over the back wall of the Lord Ming Mansion, she felt dizzy and that was the end of her memory.

So it was Emperor Tianlong who took her away?

But why did he do that?

Then she heard the sound of footsteps-- someone was walking to her, so she still pretended to be in a coma.

When she sensed someone was about to touch her face by using something, she turned her face in a flash, and stretched out her hand and grabbed it.

“Oh!”

Ruan Jiujiu opened her eyes suddenly, and made this middle-aged man scream when he held the golden needle and was ready to stab her. His needle had been grabbed by her, and before making the second sound, he found himself controlled by Ruan Jiujiu with the needle, which was targeting his heart.

“Don’t move or you’ll die.” She threatened.

The middle-aged man knew it clearly that she was not joking, because the acupuncture point she was targeting at was deadly.

“Plea...please spare my life!”

Ruan Jiujiu raised her lips, and asked coldly, ”Say, why you bring me here? Who are you working for? What’s your purpose?”

He was speechless, because he was innocent and just followed the command to wake her up.

“It is my idea to invite you here.”

It was Emperor Tianlong, who heard the noise and walked in to check. He was staring at her solemnly.

“My Emperor?” She was shocked and looked at him, “Why are you here too? Have you been kidnapped by them? You son of a bitch, how dare you kidnap our Emperor?”

She kept scolding, which made the Emperor angry.

Son of bitch?

Who are you scolding?

But she didn’t stop.

“My Emperor, don’t be afraid. No matter who did that, I will protect you! And Lord Ming will never forgive him too! He will cut that bastard into pieces!”

The Emperor’s face was purple with rage. She not only scolded him, also referred to Lord Ming.

And that name was exactly what he hated to hear for now.

“Ruan Jiujiu...”

“My Emperor!” She shouted, kicked the middle-aged man aside, rushed to the Emperor Tianlong and dragged him to outside.

She mustn’t leave here!

The Emperor was dragged almost to fall down, and he roared to her, “Ruan Jiujiu, here is my palace!”

The guards rushed in, and blocked her way out.

“The Imperial Palace?” She stopped.

“I summon you for something important.” He tried to suppress his anger and explained.

“Summon? But I was kidnapped by them!” She kept pretending to be a fool, and looked at him questioningly, “Has Lord Ming known that you want to summon me?”

The Emperor’s face turned black.

“He hasn’t known that? My God!”

He glared at her, “I don’t have to inform him before I summon you.”

He was the king of this country, and Lord Ming was no more than an official to him, but why so many people still believed that he could not govern the Lord Ming Mansion as well as Beiming Xuan?

“But I need it!” Ruan Jiujiu just disregarded the Emperor’s feelings, and continued, “Lord Ming is so overbearing! He will punish me later no matter who summons me if without informing him first! ”

No matter who? So that meant he had never put the Emperor in his eyes?

He took a deep breath secretly, and squinted his eyes like he never had such a conversation wit her, and asked directly, “Do you know how to detoxify the Wusi poison?”

“Wuxi poison?” She pretended to be shocked, and murmured, “Sure. ”

Hearing that, he ignored her attitude and directly commanded, “Bring her in.”

Soon, the guards came in, holding a long stretcher.

And there lay on a woman who startled Ruan Jiujiu once she saw her.

What the fuck?

The woman closed her eyes tightly, with her face covered with black poisonous lines.

Was she still the Concubine Dan, who was delicate and attractive and just played the zither in public?

But now, the poison had spread over her whole body.

Even her mom could not recognize her only by seeing her face.

Emperor Tianlong was also frightened by her face.

It was hard for him to accept the truth that she was his beloved concubine.

“My Emperor, so you want me to save her life?” Ruan Jiujiu asked deliberately.

“You said it was Wusi poison, and I have also heard that it is you who saved my brother’s life by detoxifying this poison..”

She could sense that the Emperor was putting pressure on her.

She could tell the poison, and had detoxified that before, so this time she would not reject him.

“Yes, all of them are done by myself.” Ruan Jiujiu admitted straightforwardly.

He was waiting for this answer, “Fairly well, then start now.”

But she didn’t want to start.
