44 I’ll Teach You a Lesson
Qingfeng’s injuries required an infusion and taking medicine.
Bai Wutong had already given her an infusion. There were many medicines in traditional Chinese medicine that were better at treating external injuries than Western medicine.
That included medicinal herbs. Bai Wutong directly concocted the medicine and used a small stove to boil the medicine for Qingfeng.
After the black bowl of essence was cooked, Bai Wutong carried it to feed Qingfeng, who had changed location to under the tree. Lin Yue said, “Madam, you should rest early. Let me do it.”
Lin Yue looked like he had ill intentions. Bai Wutong stared at him for a few seconds. “Are you sure?” He wouldn’t kill someone with a medicine, right?
Lin Yue’s eyes flickered. “Yes.” He won’t torture her to death!
Bai Wutong thought for a moment, then passed him the bowl. “Then you can feed. I’ll watch you feed her.”
Lin Yue’s expression froze.
Bai Wutong found it funny and urged, “Don’t you want to feed her? Hurry up.”
Lin Yue took a deep breath and raised his arms into a stiff arc, revealing his upper teeth. “Okay,” he said with fake pity and stubbornness.
Lin Yue carried the bowl to the makeshift tent that everyone had set up. Qingfeng did not show any signs of waking up. She lay quietly like a lamb that could be slaughtered.
Lin Yue had suffered so much at her hands that he really wanted to take the opportunity to stab her.
Under the dancing flames, Qingfeng’s face was handsome. There was a obvious scar at the corner of his eye, making him look even more masculine.
No matter how he looked at him, he still seemed like a cold man. Lin Yue wondered if he had seen wrongly that day.
The corners of his eyes subconsciously wandered down. When he saw that her breasts were really different from his, he was shocked and retracted his gaze.
He glanced guiltily at Qingfeng. Bai Wutong covered her mouth and yawned. She shouted at him, “Hurry up!” She was tired from waiting.
Lin Yue could only squat down obediently and hold Qingfeng’s chin, preparing to pour it in.
‘It’s just feeding medicine. Why can’t I do it?’
A smooth and delicate touch came from his hand. Lin Yue stared at Qingfeng for a moment. She was indeed a woman. How could a man have such delicate skin?
He curled his lip and loosened his grip on Qingfeng’s hand. He’d been about to pour the medicine in, but he decided to help her up instead.
Just as he propped up the back of Qingfeng’s head and brought the medicine to her mouth.
Qingfeng suddenly opened her eyes. In an instant, the bowl in Lin Yue’s hand was snatched away by her. She threw it to the ground with a bang and quickly picked up the broken porcelain piece. She pressed it against Lin Yue’s throat, forming a bloody cut.
Her dark and guarded eyes were like a ferocious wolf that had just woken up. Whoever provoked her had to die.
Bai Wutong was also woken up by Qingfeng.
When she saw the scene in front of her, she quickly said, “Stop, he was feeding you medicine just now.”
Qingfeng looked at the broken porcelain bowl on the ground and smelled the medicinal smell of the liquid. Her gaze landed on Lin Yue’s aggrieved expression and she let go. “Sorry.”
The word ‘sorry’ did not make Lin Yue feel better. With a dark expression, he threw her a look and left angrily.
Bai Wutong saw that her hand, which was holding the porcelain piece, had a huge cut. She took out the wound medicine and prepared to bandage her wound.
Qingfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong. She tore open her clothes and looked at the bandage that had been changed. She said angrily, “Who did it?”
Bai Wutong lowered her voice and said, “I helped you. Don’t worry.” Qingfeng probably didn’t want others to know that she was a woman.
Qingfeng looked at her suspiciously. “You know to treat people?”
Even without opening it, she knew that the wound clearly felt different.
Bai Wutong said calmly, “I know a little.”
It was her own injury, so Qingfeng knew best what the Bai Wutong was capable of.
Thinking that Bai Wutong was unwilling to reveal too much, Qingfeng cupped her hands and said, “Thank you!”
Bai Wutong waved her hand. The two serious injuries on Qingfeng’s body were caused by Chu Tianbao and her. What was there to thank?
Qingfeng woke up, and so did the row of secret guards lying on the ground.
Bai Wutong was even more certain that there was something strange about them.
Bai Wutong asked, “Why did you suddenly faint?” If a group of refugees instead of them had arrived after Qingfeng, all of Qingfeng’s clothes might have been taken off, let alone food.
Qingfeng didn’t answer. She probably couldn’t bring herself to speak. Or maybe it wouldn’t do any good to tell Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong continued to ask, “Will you guys suddenly faint again?”
Qingfeng shook her head. “I don’t know.”
The Immortal Spiritual Pill had suddenly taken effect five months in advance. She had wanted to reach Ling Kingdom as soon as possible to find Wen Renhua to concoct the antidote, but it seemed that there was no time.
They only had a rough address and they might not be able to find anyone there. And even if they did, it was a question of whether Wen Renhua would be willing to concoct an antidote for them or not.
Thinking of this, a defeated look appeared on Qingfeng’s face.
The other people in the Dark Guards Team also realized that after the emperor died, there was an uncontrollable change in the Immortal Spiritual Pills on their bodies.
This meant that they could die at any moment from the bone-piercing pain.
Qingfeng looked at them and said in a deep voice, “You all know, right?”
The Dark Guards Team looked at her under the moonlight, their eyes like a pool of stagnant water.
Qingfeng said, “If you have unfinished wishes, fulfil them now.”
They had been fighting and killing in the Dark Guards Team since they could remember. They served the emperor like robots. Wishes? They had never had one.
They all looked at her silently, as if they were a group of dead people. But Qingfeng took in all the meaning in their gazes.
They were going to follow her until death.
Qingfeng looked at the night sky in confusion, but where could she go?
From Qingfeng’s words, Bai Wutong could tell that they had really been drugged by the trash emperor, and their days were numbered.
She hesitated for a moment and pretended not to know anything. “It’s really troublesome to create an identity in Ling Kingdom. Our village chief has a household register. It’s very simple to help you write your name on it. Do you want to come with us?” It seemed that they would not die for a while. It was better to follow them and guard against Duke Ping’s men together.
If they suddenly died, the remaining food they had would be the reward for burying them.
This was the second time Bai Wutong had suggested that they go on the road together.
Everyone knew what she meant.
Bai Wutong had saved them just now. Qingfeng did not have the habit of owing anyone anything. She nodded and said, “Okay.” As long as they were alive, she would escort them to Ling Kingdom.
When Lin Yue learned that Qingfeng and the others were going to follow their group, he immediately looked for Qingfeng and asked fiercely, “Where is our master now?”
He had forgotten before, but now he remembered, their master’s whereabouts were still unknown.
Qingfeng’s gaze landed on his neck for a few seconds before she said unhurriedly, “My people didn’t send back any news.”
Since there was no news, it meant that their master had not been captured by the Dark Guards Team. Lin Yue heaved a sigh of relief and glared at her. He said fiercely, “If anything happens to our master, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Qingfeng glanced at him expressionlessly, but Lin Yue could see the mockery on her face.
He was so angry that he turned into a pufferfish and almost exploded.
