Chapter 178 Abusing power for personal gain
Chapter 178 Abusing power for personal gain
She immediately and subconsciously hugged Jiang Yu tightly, in return for which the man beside her let out a low laugh, which brushed past her ears gently like a cloud.
A faint medicinal fragrance diffused at the tip of her nose, mellow like a lost dream, or like the fragrant green water rippling in the most beautiful lotus pond in Dayan, as soft and charming as a passing spring breeze, yet omnipresent.
His lips were so close to hers, so close that they would brush against her earlobe from time to time when he moved, making her feel itchy all over. His hot breath brushed across her cheek, soft and moist like a delicate kiss.
Lin Shuning's rationality was ignited by a loud bang. He froze and dared not move, but his whole body softened inch by inch, turning into cotton, mist, and a net, with silk threads both horizontally and vertically.
And the place where he held her tightly was like a thread drilling into it, and the threads were entwined and coiled, spreading along her blood vessels, and it was unknown where it was bound, and it was endless.
In a trance, she heard a low and magnetic voice ringing softly in her ear, with a slight smile. Hearing that smile, she felt that the flowers of the four seasons were all in full bloom at that moment.
"I only wish that this moment will last forever, like the sun at its dawn, like the moon forever..."
Lin Shuning trembled, and his heart beat so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of his throat in the next second.
She touched her face and it seemed to be burning too.
Just before she was about to get burned and feel dizzy, her side suddenly felt empty. The source of warmth quietly dissipated, and Lin Shuning's heart felt empty as well.
She turned her head suddenly and met a pair of bright eyes.
Jiang Yu stood with his hands behind his back in the moonlight, smiling at her, his voice soft and gentle as clouds: "We're here."
Maybe because his whole body was burning, Lin Shuning didn’t feel dizzy this time.
She exhaled, "Where is the injured? I'll go check it out."
Jiang Yu's eyes flashed with an ambiguous smile, and he said calmly: "Come with me."
Lin Shuning followed him and the two came to a room.
The room was very dark, and only a figure could be vaguely seen on the couch, but Lin Shuning recognized it at a glance: "Chen Zhao, are you injured?"
Having come to Prince Rui's Mansion so many times, and each time being picked up and dropped off by Chen Zhao himself, Lin Shuning had already memorized his figure.
A secret guard came in and lit the oil lamp.
Chen Zhao was half leaning on the couch, one of his hands was wrapped in thick bandages like a big dumpling wrapped in a small dumpling. When he saw her coming, he immediately stood up: "Miss Third."
Lin Shuning waved his hand quickly: "You are a patient, so don't get up. How is your hand?"
Chen Zhao didn't say anything, but just looked up at Jiang Yu who was standing behind her, then lowered her eyes and said, "It hurts, it hurts a lot, I don't know if I broke a bone."
Lin Shuning frowned: "Stretch out your hand, I'll show you."
She peeled off the bandage on Chen Zhao's arm, and when she saw the wound inside, she was slightly stunned.
She thought she would see a bloody wound with bone visible under the tightly wrapped white rice dumpling, but what appeared before her eyes was not only no bone visible, there was not even a spot of blood. It was just a slight abrasion with some bruises around it.
Lin Shuning's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his fingers and pressed around the wound: "Does it hurt here?"
Chen Zhao shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
Lin Shuning patiently changed his position: "What about here?"
"No..." Chen Zhao was halfway through his words when he felt a pair of cold eyes falling on him. He shuddered and said in a sharp turn: "It hurts, it hurts here, oh, it hurts!"
Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of delight appearing at the corners of his lips.
Lin Shuning frowned even more tightly: "Does it hurt so much? Is there any hidden disease?"
She lifted Chen Zhao's arm and examined him carefully from all angles, even using the X-ray equipment in the medical space, but still couldn't find any symptoms.
Chen Zhao looked at Lin Shuning who was busy running around with a frown on his brow, and wiped the sweat from his forehead guiltily.
He had only accidentally scraped his skin today, but for some reason, his master had his wound bandaged carefully, carried him to the bed, and then immediately called the third young lady over.
He reasonably suspected that his master was abusing his power for personal gain.
Use herself to create opportunities for him to get along with the Third Miss.
Seeing that Lin Shuning's frown was about to turn his entire face into a wrinkled ball, Jiang Yu felt distressed and immediately glanced at Chen Zhao sinisterly. Chen Zhao immediately felt like he was struck by lightning and cried in his heart.
This was his first time pretending to be a patient and he had no experience. You can't blame him for this.
He smiled awkwardly: "Miss Third, I feel much better now. It doesn't hurt at all. It might have been my illusion just now."
Lin Shuning pondered for a moment, then nodded without doubt, "That's possible. Maybe the bruise has made the pain nerves more sensitive."
She took out a tube of ointment from her sleeve and said, "Try applying this ointment. If it still doesn't get better, consider whether the bone pain is caused by other parts of the body."
"Thank you, Miss Third."
Chen Zhao took the ointment and suddenly had an idea. He said with a twinkling look, "Miss San, since you are here, why don't you check the master's body? Maybe the master has been too busy with official business recently, and his appetite and spirit are not very good. We will feel relieved if you take a look."
"Okay," Lin Shuning nodded, stood up and looked at Jiang Yu, "Let's go to your room."
Before leaving, Jiang Yu gave Chen Zhao an approving look.
Chen Zhao cried with joy, woooo, woooo, this time he was sensible enough to make up for his mistake.
……
Lin Shuning followed Jiang Yu into the bedroom.
Perhaps because she was still thinking about Ma's affairs, she almost tripped and fell to the ground before she could cross the threshold. Jiang Yu quickly supported her and said softly, "There are many people in the brothel today. If you don't get the answer you want, maybe you can go back in a few days and get something new."
Lin Shuning was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, there were two knocks on the door: "Master, the medicine is ready."
Lin Shuning looked at Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu happened to lower his eyes, and their eyes met.
Lin Shuning felt a little dizzy from his eyes staring at her without blinking, and immediately turned her face away and stood up and said, "Since Your Highness wants to take a medicinal bath, I will wait until you finish the bath before checking."
Jiang Yu suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "You always wanted to see me take a medicinal bath, why are you leaving today? Are you scared?"
He smiled with a smug look on his face, and Lin Shuning instantly realized that he was teasing her on purpose. Her little universe immediately started to smoke, and a strange desire to win suddenly rose up.
She immediately held his hand and said sincerely, "So His Royal Highness Prince Rui has already seen through it! To be honest, I have been having a hard time not being able to get what I want. If it weren't for my strong self-control, I would have already ignored everything and come here every day to force myself on you."
Jiang Yu smiled, his eyes as bright as the moon: "Why don't you start by helping me change my clothes?"
