The Choice Queen's

TCQ 60: Pain Medication

Li Fengran started to calm down. He followed up looking at Su Min who was still showing a desire to kill him. Nangong Zirui looked at Su Min coldly. Its sharp aura made some of the guards feel scared as well. King, it seems to be very angry over this incident.

“As a concubine, you want to kill my minister. You have really crossed the line!”

Su Min who was already in the grasp of the bodyguards screeched. “He deserved to die.”

Nangong Zirui sighed. He planned to give Su Min a chance at life, but Su Min apparently did not appreciate it and acted brutally. The chance of life for forgiveness for her is now gone. Nangong Zirui already did not want to forgive him anymore.

“Concubine Su, I give you a chance not so you use it to kill the Sword Starter.”

“Chance? What's the point of an opportunity? My father will still die!”

Li Fengran wanted to explain, but his forehead hurt and Nangong Zirui prevented it. He said quietly, “No need to explain. He's already lost his wits.”

“No, Your Grace. Consort Su still has the right to know the truth,” Li Fengran said. He then looked at Su Min.

“Concubine Su, in addition to material evil, Great Lord Su has also killed Queen Ling. If you don't work, you can ask him yourself.”

Su Min's eyes flashed. His feelings were mixed between surprise and anger. So, his father actually killed the late Queen Ling? Butwhy? Su Min never knew that the one who had secretly made Ling Sui die was her own father. Is that really his father?

“Lying! My father is not a murderer!”

“Concubine Su, I didn't lie to you. She herself who confessed with her mouth a moment ago.”

No, Su Min did not believe her father would kill someone. Although her father was extremely greedy, he would not dare to kill a palace person, let alone a Queen. Someone must have deliberately provoked him! His father must have been framed! His father is not a murderer!

“If you are still stubborn, you can go ask yourself.”

Nangong Zirui waved, then the bodyguards took Su Min away from Changsun Palace. The man then told Li Fengran to sit down while he had Wang Bi take out the medicine box. Seeing the blood on his forehead and upper arm, Nangong Zirui's heart ached.

Nangong Zirui tidied Li Fengran's hair first, tying him back with a piece of cloth. Then, he took out a gauze and cleaned the blood dripping on Li Fengran's face. His hands moved slowly and very carefully, he was afraid of pressing his wound too deeply.

“Do it hurt?” tanyakanya.

“Lumayan. If Su Min pushes me even harder, maybe I could have a concussion or amnesia,” Li Fengran replied.

“At this time you are still joking. Xiao Feng, what if I don't come in time? Su Min might really kill you.”

“Didn't His Majesty come? That means I won't die that easily.”

Nangong Zirui then put some medicine on his forehead, blew it slowly and covered the wound with a clean gauze. Li Fengran grimaced feeling the reaction from the medicine and gauze covering his wound. Fortunately it is only a scratch until it does not need to be sewn.

After cleaning and treating the wound on the forehead, Nangong Zirui was about to treat the dagger incision wound on the upper arm. However, he was stunned as if he was thinking of something. If it wanted to treat it, then the wound had to be cleaned first and that meant that the part of Li Fengran's clothes on his upper arm had to be removed in order to facilitate the cleaning process.

“Your Majesty, what are you thinking?” asked Li Fengran.

“The wound on this upper arm, I cannot treat it,” replied Nangong Zirui.

“Why? Didn't His Majesty just also treat the same wound on my head?”

“I can't.”

“Can.”

“Can't.”

“Can.”

“Cannot, Xiao Feng.”

“Why?”

“Because that means you have to remove the top clothes.”

Li Fengran wanted to laugh, but it felt incompatible to laugh at a time like this. He looked at Nangong Zirui's countenance that was all wrong and worried and confused.

A faint red tinge slowly spread from his cheeks to his ears. The corner of Li Fengran's mouth lifted forming a detained smile.

“That's it?”

“Ya.”

“Your Majesty is shy?”

“Then what? I obviously want to respect you.”

“So soon to deny it,” murmured Li Fengran. “Then please help me find Xiang Wan.”

He only remembered that Xiang Wan had not been seen since. Since Su Min was able to enter here, it meant that Xiang Wan was not in the palace. Where did the woman go? Didn't he usually like waiting for her to come home?

A bodyguard reported and said they found Xiang Wan next to the palace in a collapsed state. As he was brought inside, Xiang Wan's consciousness recovered and his eyes blinked a few times.

Seeing the room filled with people, he turned his head. Xiang Wan was more surprised when she saw Li Fengran's forehead wrapped in gauze while her upper arm was torn and spewed out a lot of blood.

“Nona! What happened to you?” Xiang Wan asked worriedly. She almost cried seeing this messy nona state of hers. “Who hurt you?”

As Xiang Wan tore Li Fengran's upper clothes off, Nangong Zirui turned his body to take a look. His face is still red. All this time other than his own body, Nangong Zirui had never seen the body of another person, let alone a woman.

His experience when he accidentally saw Li Fengran bathing in Jinchuan at that time made his face feel heated. He did not want to see Li Fengran's open shoulder anymore, as it could make it difficult for him to sleep for a few days.

“Nona, who could hurt you so much like this?”

“Nobody. Xiang Wan, why are you beside the palace?”

“I was about to light a candle, but suddenly someone seemed to hit me from behind and I fainted. Miss, is he the one?”

Li Fengran did not reply. Xiang Wan cleansed Li Fengran's wounds while occasionally glancing at the entire room that was quite a mess.

It could be seen that just a moment ago there must have been a fight. In his heart, Xiang Wan was very sorry and said he was stupid because he could not protect his master. That guy must be so bad!

“Nona, done. I will get you a change of clothes,” Xiang Wan said as she finished dressing Li Fengran's wound with gauze.

“Looser look so that the wound is not depressed,” Nangong Zirui's statement which was greeted by a nod of Xiang Wan's head.

“Is it still sore?” he asked Li Fengran.

“Slight.”

“I'll call a healer.”

“No need, Your Grace. It's just a scratch. No need to bother the Physician Palace.”

“You're. Obviously hurt but still acting strong.”

“Because there is His Majesty protecting me.”

Anyone who saw the interaction must have thought that the King and the Sword Saint had an unusual relationship. Their interactions were more like lovers instead of the King and his subordinates. Nangong Zirui was very considerate and his demeanor was very gentle on Li Fengran.

He treated Li Fengran like a precious treasure. The one who understood would see there was a pent up feeling in Nangong Zirui's heart for Li Fengran, but it could not be expressed for some reason.

After Li Fengran changed his clothes, Nangong Zirui told everyone to come out. He wanted to talk to Li Fengran alone and they understood his point.

“Xiao Feng, say your opinion regarding Su Min's attack today,” said Nangong Zirui. Perhaps they should analyze why Su Min could be so impulsive today.

“Someone provoked him. Concubine Su was not a person who acted without reason. Someone must have told him something and provoked him, I think it had something to do with his father's arrest. Since I found the case, then naturally he pointed his knife at me to kill me.”

“Who are you thinking?”

Before answering him, Li Fengran suddenly held onto his stomach and grimaced. His stomach was like it was being completely shed, sick and hot. He also had stomach cramps. Nangong Zirui immediately panicked and asked, “Did Su Min also attack your stomach? Which parts are injured?”

“Not, not Su Min. Your Majesty, I need Xiang Wan to help me.”

“Why call Xiang Wan? Can't I help you?”

“Not so. It's just that this affair can only be handled by fellow women.”

Xiang Wan then entered after getting the call. Li Fengran whispered something to him, which made Nangong Zirui so curious. Not long after that Xiang Wan left and came back with something. Just as he wanted to hand it over, he hesitated and glanced at Nangong Zirui.

“Why?”

“Your Majesty, please Your Majesty please come out for a moment. Miss needs to change clothes,” said Xiang Wan.

“Didn't she just change clothes?”

How'this? Should Li Fengran explain that he was about to change his inner clothes? But, it's embarrassing.

Were it not for him being on the moon, he certainly would not have asked Xiang Wan to help him drive Nangong Zirui away. But if not explained, Nangong Zirui would not want to go out and choose to turn his body like before.

“Your Highness, Miss is getting her monthly guest,” Xiang Wan suddenly explained after seeing her nonanya hesitating. Hearing that explanation, Nangong Zirui's face reddened again.

“Ekhem. Then you help him.”

Nangong Zirui came out and stood in front of the palace door. Wang Bi walked up to him questioningly. He was about to speak, but Nangong Zirui raised his hand and told him not to ask.

It was late at night, the spring breeze blew. The leaves of trees and flowers in the garden of Changsun Palace swayed like they were singing.

“Wang Bi, what needs to be prepared when a woman has an upset stomach when she gets her monthly guests?”

“Who's coming month, Your Highness?”

“Jawab only!”

“Maybe to ease her pain, Your Majesty can compress her stomach with warm water. His Majesty can also request pain relief medication at the Palace Medicine Hall.”

“You are so sorry about this business yes,” taunted Nangong Zirui. Wang Bi just smiled as usual.

“Before becoming the eunuch chief and serving His Majesty, I was once assigned in the Back Palace and knew little of the concubines.”

“Then prepare for me.”
