Chapter 1749: Chapter 1742: Trial for Them
Though she had heard much about the methods of inner courtyards, this was the first time she’d seen someone like Hong Lian, whose methods were so ruthless and despicable.
She gritted her teeth with anger, "Doesn’t she see you as her husband? Silver Moon Pavilion... the medicine from that place would definitely harm your body!"
For Hong Lian to use this on Mo Qi, how could she possibly love him?
"I’m used to it."
Mo Qi spoke, a surge of blood rising in his chest, unable to hold it back, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Under the moonlight, that crimson liquid flowed from between his fingers, and Leng Muling saw it clearly.
"Are you alright?"
She hurriedly stood up, prying open his palm, and upon seeing a pool of blood, she turned around to fetch her medicine chest.
"Here, this is medicine my uncle gave me, it treats internal injuries, and there’s also some given by the empress earlier, see which one you can use?" Leng Muling took out a bunch of bottles and jars, stuffing them into Mo Qi’s arms.
Mo Qi was a bit stunned, then wiped the blood from his hands, and let out a chuckle, "It’s just a minor internal injury, not a big deal, with you caring for me like this, I’m already feeling much better."
His bright smile left Leng Muling momentarily bewildered.
Seventh brother.
She loved seeing his smile the most, his features clear and gentle, pure moonlight falling on his face, adding a hint of unmatched beauty.𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
She felt a deep ache in her heart, if she were his wife at home, she would never have let him suffer so much and be burdened by such injuries.
"Don’t cry, Ling’er."
Seeing her tears fall foolishly, Mo Qi’s heart was immediately seized with worry.
His warm fingertip landed on Leng Muling’s face, startling her back, "You... you can’t touch me."
Mo Qi’s hand froze mid-air, hastily apologizing, "I didn’t mean to, since you’ve taken your medicine, get some rest early, I’m leaving now."
With that, he fled the pavilion as if escaping.
"Seventh brother!"
Leng Muling called out urgently, she forgot to remind him, make sure to remember to take his medicine when he gets back!
Zhuo Junli’s informant in the Lu Family sent him news, saying that after meeting Mo Qi, Leng Muling cried alone for half the night. Zhuo Junli, standing in his study, happily wrote some calligraphy —
Lover’s affection.
Yun Sijin brought him a bowl of soup, seeing his flamboyant writing, she shook her head, "Ling’er having someone like you as an uncle is indeed a stroke of bad luck."
Zhuo Junli glanced at the soup in her hands, seeing it was her handiwork, he accepted it, sipping while saying, "With me as her uncle, she gains the experience needed for a harmonious and peaceful future, how is it bad luck?"
Yun Sijin shook her head helplessly, "How long are you going to keep tormenting those two? Ling’er’s injury hasn’t healed yet, being so heartbroken will only worsen it. She’s a girl, not strong enough to endure your antics."
"A girl from the Prime Minister’s residence doesn’t have the luxury of being delicate. If she doesn’t build a strong body, she won’t be able to withstand anything in the future." Zhuo Junli finished the soup and placed the bowl back on Yun Sijin’s tray.
Every time he pretended to be profound, he seemed like a fox.
But whenever he spoke casually, it was all world-shocking advice.
After considering for a while, Yun Sijin didn’t try to persuade him anymore.
That day, Zhuo Junli sent a message to Leng Muling, telling her that Hong Lian was a very cunning person, embellishing Mo Qi’s hardships at home vividly.
Upon reading the message, Leng Muling was so angry that she couldn’t sit still that night.
"Hong Lian... Hong Lian! Hong Lian! You heartless woman! You tricked my seventh brother, and you bully him too! I won’t forgive you!"
Leng Muling stomped in the pavilion in anger, creating quite a commotion.
