It couldn’t be. How come that iceberg could also behave so gently?
Helian Chacha started to recall what Ye Shengxuan had just said. And the more she thought about it, the more she felt that not only was Ye Shengxuan born to be callous, he was also super duplicitous.
How tired it was to live a life in which you were too proud to admit you cared about someone? Since he was such a pathetic person, she decided to poison him less in the future.
As she was thinking of him, she went back to her room. Yet the moment she turned around after closing the door, she saw the man in black.
She was so scared that she took a few steps back.
“Don’t be scared. It’s me!”
The medicine delivery man?
“Why are you here?” Helian Chacha turned around to check if she had locked the door. After that, she turned to the man in black and said, “The surveillance in the palace has been really strict recently, so you better not come here too frequently. You’ll be doomed if they find you.”
“Stop talking the nonsense.” The man in black came closer to her and his eyes looked really scary, “Master has been watching you recently. You better be careful!”
Helian Chacha was surprised but she tried to speak to him calmly, “What have I done?”
“You have not been poisoning that bastard emperor these days, right?” The man in black squinted his eyes.
Helian Chacha denied immediately, “Who said that? He takes my poison three times a day in his meals. Why would I not poison him?”
The man in black sneered, “You know it well whether you put the poison or not.”
“Master has changed his mind and he doesn’t want to wait any longer.” Then, he took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from his arms and gave it to Helian Chacha, “This is a fatal poison and one will die within three days after eating it. Find a way to give it to the bastard emperor and you’ll get your reward after you make it.”
She took the poison in shock and didn’t reply to the man in black at that moment.
But the man in black didn’t care about it at all as he just told her, “Remember, do it quickly. Don’t let the master wait too long.”
Then he opened the window and checked around. After he had made sure there was no one nearby, he jumped across the wall and left.
Helian Chacha went back to Yangxin Hall after only one day of rest. She was after all a servant, so she better not take the mercy of the master for granted. If she had really stayed in bed for more than a week, probably she would have been replaced by someone else already.
Ye Shengxuan was having his breakfast when she arrived at Yangxin Hall. Seeing that she was coming, he sent out the other servants and kept Helian Chacha alone to serve him.
After standing for a while, Ye Shengxuan asked her suddenly, “Dagou, bring me the porridge.”
She nodded and walked to the other table for the porridge. When she was about to serve him the porridge, she recalled what the man in black had told her before, “Poison him.”
She stopped for a second and tried to take out the poison from her sleeve and put it into the porridge. But she suddenly thought of the caring look Ye Shengxuan had shown yesterday.
“Helian Chacha, wake up! How can you repay the kindness of someone with poison?”
After struggling for a while, she put the poison back.
Since she still had not come back with the porridge, Ye Shengxuan asked her, “Why does it keep you so long?”
“Coming!” She replied and put the porridge to Ye Shengxuan.
When she was putting the porridge down, the wound on her shoulder was stretched a bit so she took a deep breath unconsciously.
Ye Shengxuan witnessed it and he couldn’t help frowning, “If your wound is still not healed, you don’t have to serve me here. There are hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs in Yangxin Hall, so you don’t have to push yourself too hard.”
She tried to give him a smile, “Your Majesty, I am alright.”
But that made Ye Shengxuan frown even more, “You are not allowed to do anything in the next three days. This is an order!”
She was trying to refute him, but she finally agreed after seeing the angry face of Ye Shengxuan, “Yes.”
She always felt that this emperor might do something more shocking if she didn’t agree with him.
She didn’t know what to do in the sudden holiday given by her boss as she had always been busy. After a whole day of lying in the bed, she even felt a bit headache.
For the sake of her health, she went outside for a walk on the second day and she finally came to the imperial garden unconsciously.
Thanks to the pouring rain a few days ago, the flowers in the imperial garden were blooming more wildly now. She was not a flower lover but she couldn’t help being touched by this kind of beautiful scene.
“Eunuch Lin.”
Hearing someone calling her name, Helian Chacha looked back immediately and found a young man in white walking towards her quickly.
“Mr. Chu.” She went up to greet him and joked, “Are you here to meet Her Highness again?”
Chu Jianmo looked around and whispered in her ears, “I come here in the name of meeting Her Highness but actually I am here for you.”
Even though she was used to the directness in modern times, Helian Chacha couldn’t help blushing after hearing what he had said.
“Why are you…”
Before she could finish asking, Chu Jianmo said ahead of her, “I am here to give you some medicine.”
Helian Chacha was stunned and the blush on her face was almost fading away.
Chu Jianmo took out a small jar of medicine and gave it to her, “Your shoulder was hurt. I know there are many prime medicines in the palace, but they are mostly for His Majesty and his Concubines. So maybe you don’t get any of them and that’s why I come here to give you some.”
“I can’t take it.” She gave him back the medicine without thinking, “You already gave me the Wound Cure last time, and now you give me this one again. I can’t take it.”
He didn’t expect she would be so polite, so Chu Jianmo looked at her and then started to laugh.
Helian Chacha was confused by his laughing, “Why are you laughing, mister?”
Seeing that she was staring at himself in confusion, Chu Jianmo stopped laughing and explained, “I just thought that you didn’t feel anything uncomfortable when you were living in my place. But now you are so shy.”
Helian Chacha didn’t realize if there was anything wrong with her behavior in the Chu mansion, but now she felt quite uncomfortable after he had mentioned it.
“Alright, just keep this medicine. I still have many at home, and…” Chu Jianmo acted as if he didn’t know how romantic it was that he put the medicine into Helian Chacha’s hand and scratched her nose slightly, smiling fondly, “I just really hope that you can recover as soon as possible.”
Helian Chacha started to blush again.
As she was thinking about what she should reply to him, a silver-toned clear voice was coming from afar, “Jianmo. You are here. I’ve been searching for you for so long!”
It was the princess.
Ye Tingfang ran towards them from the other side of the bushes and she threw herself into the arms of Chu Jianmo directly, ignoring Helian Chacha who was standing right next to him.
After playing coy in the arms of Chu Jianmo for a while, the princess now looked at Helian Chacha and stared at her shoulder wrapped with gauze, asking with her eyebrows raised a bit, “You are Lin Dagou, right? You got hurt?”
“Yes.” Chu Jianmo slightly pinched the tender cheeks of Ye Tingfang and said, “I just gave him some medicine to cure his wound, and that’s why it took me a few minutes. I know you won’t blame me for that, right? Your Highness?”
“Why would I? You are such a kind person, Jianmo. I just can’t stop liking you.” Then, she grabbed the hand of Chu Jianmo suddenly and said, “Oh, Mother just told me that she’s got something for me. Let’s go visither together, Jianmo.”
“Okay.”
Then the both of them walked out of the imperial garden together.
While Helian Chacha felt a little bit upset, Chu Jianmo looked around and gave her a smile all of a sudden.
She felt that her heart just got a strike by something that she couldn’t help smiling.
Damn! It was love.
It couldn’t be. How come that iceberg could also behave so gently?
