The Female Lead Wants Me to Take My Medicine [Quick Transmigration] 95p1

Chapter 95 p1: Holding Hands

Time went back a quarter of an hour.

A line of maids in pink dresses filed out of the Jiying Hall, their clothes fluttering as they went in the direction they had come from. They did not notice that the maid in pink at the very back had quietly disappeared after passing a corner.

No one noticed that someone among them was missing and continued to walk forward.

After the figure had disappeared, a tall maid in a pink dress walked out of the shadows. Her features were delicate, and her facial features were all very nice when looked at separately, but when put together, it made people feel that they couldn’t remember her no matter how many times they looked.

She took something out of her sleeve, casually hung it on her waist, and then walked in another direction with confidence.

Tonight, there was a banquet and drinking in the Jiying Hall. There were many guards patrolling the palace to protect the emperor’s safety, but the palace was not short of serving maids and eunuchs. When they saw the maid in the pink dress from a distance, they only thought that she was an ordinary maid.

The stricter guards, upon seeing the waist token on the maid’s waist, immediately understood and let her go without a second glance.

Far away on the other side of the imperial palace, Daoist Minzhen of the Changsheng Palace was summoned by the emperor. Before he left, he instructed the two boys beside him to watch the furnace fire for him.

About half an hour after Daoist Minzhen had left, the two little boys called for the palace attendants.

Daoist Minzhen was not here, so the ones who made the decisions were naturally these two little boys.

The boy in red’s eyes were upturned, and there was a red mole on his earlobe. He was wearing a crown with a hanging tassel. “Master has called us over. You can stay and watch the furnace fire.”

The other boy was dressed in green. Her hair was combed into two buns on both sides, and she was wearing a hair ribbon of the same color as her clothes. She was even more taciturn. “The medicinal herbs in the alchemy furnace have been added, and the firewood has also been added. You just have to watch this furnace and not let anyone touch the alchemy furnace.”

The crowd in the Changsheng Palace quickly nodded in agreement.

No one knew the age of this pair of androgynous boys. From their figures, they were about eleven or twelve years old, and their appearances were also extremely similar. They could only be distinguished by whether there was a red mole on their earlobes.

After giving their instructions, the pair of boys took the medicine and went out hand in hand.

Seeing that there was no one around, the boy in red immediately stopped smiling and tugged at his clothes. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had such short arms and legs. When can we leave the palace?”

The boy in green said expressionlessly, “Be careful with your words. If I had known you were so talkative, I would have rather come to the palace with someone else than be with you.”

The boy in red immediately refused. “No way. We’ve been together since we were in the womb. I was heavier than you when I was born, so I should take care of you.”

The boy in green: “Is that so? Then call me ‘elder sister’ and let me hear it.”

The boy in red: “…”

The two of them continued to walk while bickering. The boy in red, who had not been quiet for more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, spoke again, “Who is coming today?”

This was hard to say. The boy in green shook her head.

In order not to expose their identities, no one had contacted them since they had entered the palace. They had been alchemy boys for a swindling fake Daoist priest every day. Today, when they had seen the mark, they had thought they had seen wrong. After confirming it several times, the two of them who had seen the message clearly had directly destroyed the mark.

They had gone out tonight for this very purpose.

Soon, the two of them, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, walked to the Pinqing Pond near the Jiying Hall.

Tonight was a banquet, and few people were wandering outside. The Pinqing Pond was even colder after dark.

“Why is there no one?” The boy in red said first.

The two sneaky figures huddled together, peeking into the rockery near the Pinqing Pond.

But a cold voice came from behind them, “Behind you.”

The two of them were startled. The boy in red directly grabbed the person beside him and trembled, “Elder sister, save me!”

When they had come just now, they hadn’t seen anyone behind the rockery!

Could it be a resentful ghost hiding in the shadows?

In this vast palace, it’s possible that someone has died everywhere.

Maybe a palace maid had died here. She had been seduced by a water ghost in the Pinqing Pond in the middle of the night, had been killed on the rockery, and her soul had been taken away. Now she was looking for a substitute, luring others to see her true face, and killing them to take her place!

“I-I’m a little cold. Don’t you think so?” The boy in red trembled and held on even tighter.

But the boy in green pushed away the person on her and walked behind the rockery. In the red-clothed boy’s panicked gaze, she bent down and bowed. “Min Shao has seen the sect master.”

The boy in red was confused. Seeing a dagger-like gaze fly from next to him, he quickly went forward and bowed. “Min Yao has seen the sect master.”

In her haste, she had glanced at the figure under the moonlight. She was thin and tall, wearing a palace maid’s pink dress, and the hairpin on her bun was also the kind of dress-up that only a palace maid would use.

Her face was also a little unfamiliar, and a little awkward.

Anyone who knew a little about disguise would know that this was the sense of disharmony brought about by changing one’s facial features, which would make people forget after seeing it.

She had thought that the person who had come to meet and deliver the medicine was just an ordinary hall member, or at worst, the nimble Lu Hongdou. Who would have thought that it was the sect master herself?

Could it be…

The sect master really wants the emperor to die quickly? She’s not hesitant to appear in person to urge us?

The two boys quietly turned their heads to look at each other and saw the same thought in each other’s eyes.

The person who was being bowed to hummed in acknowledgment. She took something out of the hidden pocket in her sleeve. “This medicine is colorless and odorless, like clear water. Every time you make an elixir for the emperor, add a little bit in. He will look healthier.”

The two boys who were about to reach out to take it were stunned and both looked up.

Shouldn’t we be hoping for the emperor to die quickly?

Why are you giving him a tonic?

Xi Congshuang did not explain too much and placed the medicine bottle in the green-clothed boy’s outstretched hands. “Go.”

If they didn’t leave soon, the patrolling guards would come looking for them.

“…Yes.”

The two of them took the medicine and walked towards the Jiying Hall in a daze. They casually made up a reason to find Daoist Minzhen, and as expected, they were refused. The two of them returned to the Changsheng Palace.

They really couldn’t figure it out. Why didn’t she let others handle this small matter? Why did the sect master have to come in person?

To come in person, to disguise herself, just to give the emperor a tonic?

No! The boy in red slapped his head and his gaze towards the boy in green changed.

The sect master is a master of poison. She definitely wouldn’t be so superficial as to directly poison him.

The emperor eats pills like candy every day, one a day. Maybe the sect master is using poison to fight poison, at the cost of consuming Emperor Jianxing’s health, to make him have a final burst of energy!

Then if he dies, no one will notice why he died.

Xi Congshuang, who had unknowingly been found out, was preparing to leave.

As she moved, a guard’s shout came from not far away. “Who’s there? Come out!”

From the sound, it seemed to be talking about this side. She did not plan to be secretive. When the guards called for more people, she would be fished out even if she jumped into the Pinqing Pond.

Before she could move, she heard the guards’ tone suddenly change. “So it’s General Xun. I have been rude. It was too dark just now, and my brothers mistook you. I hope you can forgive me.”

The person hiding behind the rockery paused, and then she heard Xun Suihuang’s voice from a distance. “It’s fine.”

The patrolling guards were quickly sent away. Xun Suihuang still did not want to go back. It was too stuffy inside.

So she walked towards the Pinqing Pond. As she passed a rockery, Xun Suihuang instinctively felt that something was spying on her in the shadows, and the vigilant string in her mind tightened.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through her mind, including an assassin’s ambush. She subconsciously raised her hand to attack, but she quickly stopped when she saw the other party’s face.

Xi Congshuang stood in the shadows, her eyes lowered to the hand that was extended in front of her, not moving.

As if she were not afraid of death.

Xun Suihuang was a little annoyed. Then she remembered that this person was not afraid of death. A person who was afraid of death would not take that kind of medicine, and would still get up and toss and turn after coughing up a basin of blood.

Xi Congshuang: “Tonight is a beautiful night. Is the general also here to admire the moon?”

“?” Xun Suihuang was puzzled. She looked around. Who was talking just now?

Who made such a strange sound?

Xi Congshuang’s eyes were lowered, and she still said in a pinched voice, “What’s wrong, General? Are you still reluctant to leave the banquet His Majesty has held for you and want to go back?”

Xun Suihuang rubbed her arms. “Yes, I have something to do, so I’ll go back first.”

She left as soon as she said it, turned out of the rockery, and walked a few steps. She looked back, and the person was still standing there, her slightly lowered head raised, her eyes looking this way.

“…”

The Pinqing Pond was cold at night. Remembering that this person was someone who would not leave a brazier in Fuzhou, but was now in a thin maid’s dress, standing by the lake for so long.

Xun Suihuang suddenly remembered the letter that was stained with a bitter medicinal smell, and the brocade pouch full of pear blossoms, and wanted to tell the other party that she had brought it back.

Besides, she was already disguised. It was very normal to change her voice.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t bear it.
