Chapter 412: The Traitor: Bright Moon, Drinking Alone in the Autumn
Li Jinyu stared at Tang Ran with cold eyes, trying to find some flaws on his face, but there were none.
No worries, no concerns, and no joy.
Just like his tone, there was not a single ups and downs. Li Jinyu was really fed up with him like this.
She felt like she was going crazy.
It was he who used a bowl of medicine to ruin his martial arts and made him unable to ride a horse anymore.
She thought he felt guilty, but now it seemed that he was torturing himself. How could he feel any guilt at all?
"Even if I die, I will never take medicine."
Li Jinyu said sarcastically, "Tang Ran, I am waiting for the day when you go to hell. An out-and-out evil person like you will definitely go through a lot of hardships and become a beast in your next life."
Tang Ran did not respond, but clapped her hands lightly.
A palace maid came in with medicine and almost buried her head in her chest. The depressing atmosphere made her terrified.
An extremely beautiful hand appeared before her eyes, holding up the bowl of medicine. The palace maid had no time to think about anything else, and turned around and walked out very honestly.
Only after she went out did she pat her heart which was about to jump out.
Oh my God, she was scared to death!
This was the first time she met the legendary prime minister. He was indeed handsome and had beautiful hands. He didn't look like someone who would kill people with a knife at all. But when she thought of the rumors, her scalp went numb and the beautiful feeling she had just felt disappeared.
Tang Ran waited until the medicine was no longer so hot, then walked towards Li Jinyu.
The powerful feeling of oppression made Li Jinyu subconsciously retreat towards the bed, until he stood in a corner, looking at Tang Ran with a vigilant look on his face.
She doesn't want... doesn't want to drink this medicine.
Tang Ran stopped and looked at her, "Princess, please stop being so willful. I have to go home soon and don't have that much time to waste with you."
"I don't want it. Every time I drink this medicine, I feel worse than death."
The most important thing is that every time I finally built up some internal strength, after drinking this medicine, I would have nothing left.
Her eyes were red, which reminded Tang Ran of the Sixteenth Princess. It seemed that these princesses were all like this, looking like little rabbits when they cried, with a kind of cute, pitiful and broken feeling.
Tang Ran slowed down her tone slightly and coaxed her for a while, but seeing that she was still very resistant and even climbed up the pole, she started to make a big fuss.
He easily subdued the struggling woman, pinched her chin with his hand, and poured the medicine into her mouth with an expressionless face.
Li Jinyu had lost all her strength due to her previous resistance and was forced to swallow the medicine. She looked at Tang Ran pleadingly with her watery eyes and shed two lines of tears. The medicine at the corner of her lips flowed down her fair neck and into her clothes.
Tang Ran used her sleeve to wipe the medicine stains from the corners of her mouth.
Snapped!
Li Jinyu was also stunned.
She knew that Tang Ran was very skilled in martial arts, but why didn't he dodge?
Seeing that his white jade-like cheeks had turned red, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
She was even more afraid, afraid that Tang Ran would come up with some trick to deal with her again.
The little princess hiding in the dark was so frightened that she almost screamed, but fortunately Sonny was quick to cover her mouth.
Sang'er also became worried, afraid that Tang Ran would do something irrational.
But no, Tang Ran just looked at the third princess with a serious look and put the medicine bowl on the table.
"Since the Third Princess has vented her anger, please drink the medicine. If the Princess is unwilling to drink it, I have many ways to make her drink it."
"You are so presumptuous and you are committing an insubordination."
Tang Ran reached out and touched his face, sneering: "This is not the first time I have committed an act of disobedience. The princess does not allow me to be presumptuous, but I have been presumptuous many times."
That attitude is as cool as it can be.
The third princess was so angry that she picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at Tang Ran.
"With your strength, you're as weak as a chicken. I can't even think of hiding." Tang Ran was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned away.
"Tang Ran, stop right there."
No matter how much the Third Princess behind him shouted, Tang Ran did not stop. He glanced at the little thing in the corner and asked, "Sixteenth Princess, do you want me to send someone to take you back, or?"
Princess Sixteen carefully poked her head out and said, "I want to stay here with my third sister tonight."
Tang Ran didn't say anything and took Wei Xuan away.
On the way, Wei Xuan carefully raised his eyes to look at Tang Ran, then quickly lowered his head.
All I can say is that the Prime Minister is really bold. Not only did he break into the princess's bedroom at night, he also dared to force medicine into the third princess.
He knew that no matter what happened, it would never be known.
A trace of contemplation appeared on Wei Xuan's delicate, fair and tender face, so much so that after he sent Tang Ran to the carriage and returned, he was still thinking.
Li Zhong looked at him and kicked him on the butt: "What are you thinking about, you little bastard? You're so distracted."
Wei Xuan hesitated for a moment and told Li Zhong everything that happened tonight. Li Zhong glanced at him unhappily and said, "You don't need to worry about these things. You should keep everything you saw tonight to yourself. If any rumors get out, not only the Prime Minister, but even His Majesty will not forgive you."
"Disciple knows."
Wei Xuan gave a flattering smile, and hurriedly went outside to fetch a basin of hot water. He knelt on the ground, helped Li Zhong take off his boots, and began to wash Li Zhong's feet.
"Master, are you still going to keep watch tonight?"
Li Zhong squinted his eyes comfortably, "Your Majesty has not been in good health recently, and has not been sleeping well at night. He needs to be with someone."
As the emperor's most trusted person and the person who served him closely, whenever the emperor made any movement at night, he had to open his eyes quickly to see if he needed tea or water.
When dealing with memorials, he would sleep at the same time as the emperor.
What Li Zhong hated most were the shameful things that happened in the harem. He finally waited until the emperor finished reviewing the memorials and was about to go to bed, but then someone came to ask the emperor to make the decision.
He had to take care of finding evidence, interrogating people, etc.
Li Zhong remembered the day when he was busiest. He didn't even have time to drink water, let alone eat. When he got home at night, he found that his toenails were bleeding from walking.
Wei Xuan used a towel to wipe the water off Li Zhong's feet, and then he went over to give Li Zhong a massage. He said, "Master, you have been accompanying His Majesty all this time, working day and night. How can your body withstand this?"
"Besides, His Majesty cannot do without you. What if you fall down? Why don't you have a good rest tonight and I will keep watch for you."
Li Zhong was a little tempted. The place where he slept was not far from the emperor's bedroom, so he would be able to know if anything happened. In addition, he had been enduring hardship these days and was indeed feeling a little unwell.
"That's fine. If there's anything you can't solve, just come and find Master."
Wei Xuan responded and went to keep watch after Li Zhong fell asleep.
