"The old hag deserves it!"
Jun Wuyuan sat beside the bed and carefully fed the medicinal cuisine to Ling Shan spoon by spoon.
No longer clumsy and cramped, he had become quite skillful with practice. He served so attentively that he was almost elbowing Ban Chun out of the way!
Ling Shan had been in a coma for a whole night. When she woke up, she had expected the result to be remarkable, but she never thought it would be like this...
Jun Wuyuan treated her as if she were the most precious thing in the world. He was afraid she would get hurt if he held her in his hands and afraid she would melt if he put her in his mouth.
He didn't want Ling Shan to be out of his sight for a single moment. He even snatched the tasks of fetching tea and water.
Since Ling Shan woke up, Ban Chun hadn't even gotten a chance to get close.
She could only watch helplessly as the seemingly "crazy" emperor monopolized the empress.
Ling Shan's face was still pale and she looked weak, but there was a gentle smile on her face.
Just being bathed in such a look, Jun Wuyuan felt warm in his heart.
It was no longer empty and cold, like the loneliness when the whole world was frozen.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. You shouldn't have been so impulsive towards the Empress Dowager. If it ruins your plans, I..."
Ling Shan's eyes and tone were full of deep worry and self - blame for fearing that she might have ruined his plans.
How could Jun Wuyuan bear to let her worry so much? He immediately hugged her in his arms and gently comforted her.
The old hag really deserved it.
Shanshan only needed to take good care of her body. For the rest, he would take care of it.
His Shanshan would never have to suffer any grievances in the future.
"It's not that exaggerated. Your Majesty, didn't we agree not to worry? I'm okay."
Ling Shan leaned in Jun Wuyuan's arms, raising a fair but still stunning face, looking at Jun Wuyuan with bright eyes.
"Our Shanshan will surely be fine. Be obedient and take good care of yourself. Don't worry about anything. I'll be here. Our Shanshan should be carefree. Eat more and gain some weight."
Jun Wuyuan leaned over and kissed her, gently pinching her waist with his hand on her waist. His tone was full of implications.
Ling Shan blushed, looking as gorgeous as a red plum blooming in the snow.
"Your Majesty!"
Ling Shan stiffened slightly and buried her face in Jun Wuyuan's chest. There was a trace of inexplicable uneasiness in her shy and watery eyes.
"Don't be angry, Shanshan."
The charming, coquettish and scolding Ling Shan was even more endearing.
Jun Wuyuan only felt that since yesterday, this silly and infatuated girl had become a fragile treasure in his heart.
It wasn't enough just to dote on and protect her. He wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand and put her on top of his head.
It was a pity...
Ling Shan's pale fingers couldn't help but clutch the black robe on Jun Wuyuan. The joy of waking up faded a bit.
Why was this happening?
"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere today? If you're not feeling well, don't hide it. You must tell me, okay?"
Since Ling Shan woke up, neither of them had mentioned the antidote for Biluoxin. It was as if they knew instinctively that everything would be fine.
"Okay, Your Majesty, don't worry."
Ling Shan looked up and showed a bright smile again. "Your Majesty treats me so well. I'm so reluctant to leave you."
Jun Wuyuan's heart softened completely. He couldn't help but hug her tightly, kissing her earlobe. His voice was low and affectionate.
"I'm also reluctant to leave Shanshan. From now on, Shanshan will always be by my side. Be a good girl."
"Your Majesty..."
Ling Shan's eyelashes fluttered. She shyly shrank her neck, and a blush appeared on her face.
"Shanshan, call me by my name. When there are no outsiders in the future, call me by my name, okay?"
The loving but passion - free kisses slowly moved from her ear to her cheek. He pecked at her face and coaxed her in a low voice.
His already deep and magnetic voice sounded even more charming and alluring in her ears.
"A Yuan?"
Jun Wuyuan's eyes lit up. He bit the soft flesh on her cheek gently, raising his voice.
"Shanshan, think again. A more intimate one. You must know it, right?"
Ling Shan: "..."
Should she know?
"Yuan Yuan?"
Wouldn't he want her to call him like this?
Ugh~
Just calling it once, Ling Shan felt a chill in her heart. Goosebumps rose all over her body.
Jun Wuyuan's lips froze. His teeth itched inexplicably. He almost bit her again.
"Shanshan."
Jun Wuyuan pinched her waist, and his tone carried a bit of threat.
"Jiu Lang? Yuan Lang? A Yuan? A Yuan Gege?"
A sly smile flashed across Ling Shan's eyes. Her soft and charming voice seemed to float into his eardrums deliberately, making his heart tingle and ripples spread in his heart.
"I wonder which one Your Majesty likes?"
Jun Wuyuan's eyes darkened. He unconsciously licked his lips with his tongue.
The already bright peach - blossom eyes were filled with a burning light, adding a bit of coquettishness.
What should he do?
He liked every one of them!
Especially the last one. If she called him like that in bed...
"I like all of them. Shanshan can call me according to different occasions. It's just right."
Ling Shan: "..."
She swore she didn't have any dirty thoughts!
It was Jun Wuyuan who had a dirty mind!
"Ugh—"
While they were chatting and joking, when Ban Chun was tidying up in front of the dressing table, she accidentally touched something and a piece of paper was revealed.
It wasn't proper for the palace maid to look at the master's things, but...
Ban Chun only took a quick glance, and her eyes widened in shock.
This was...
"Your Majesty! Empress!"
Ban Chun's eyes were full of excitement. For the first time, she ran in regardless of the rules, completely ignoring the dark look on Jun Wuyuan's face.
Ling Shan's eyes flashed, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"What happened? Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."
As she said that, she quietly pulled Jun Wuyuan's sleeve.
Only then did Ban Chun realize what a stupid thing she had done.
She knelt on the ground with a thud and was about to kowtow to plead for forgiveness when she saw the still - angry emperor wave his hand. He didn't punish her.
After all, the joy in her heart was too great. Ban Chun knelt on the ground and said happily:
"Your Majesty, Empress. Just now when I was tidying up the dressing case, I accidentally knocked something off. A piece of paper fell out of it. It records something about Biluoxin..."
As she spoke, Ban Chun handed out the white paper.
Before she could finish her sentence, the dark look on Jun Wuyuan's face disappeared. He stretched out his long arm and took the paper.
His eyes were fixed on it. His breath caught in his throat, and there was a look of joy in his pupils.
"Liang Jiusi!"
The next moment, Jun Wuyuan shouted happily. "Bring Chang Wei here quickly!"
Ling Shan: "..."
Chang Wei was dumbfounded.
He was just studying the poison recipe in the study. How could he be so roughly brought here?
Was there any humanity?
Was there any justice?!
