When she woke up again, she found herself unable to move.
Her body felt as if it had been completely drained, and she couldn't move at all. Looking down at her body, she gasped in shock.
Her once fair and smooth arms were now bruised and wrinkled, as if they had withered away!
Linyuan hurriedly rushed over upon hearing the news. As soon as she saw him, she cried out hoarsely, "It's all your fault! It must be because you scared me last night that I couldn't eat any Chinese Mitten Crab. Now I have no nutrients, and I'm going to wither away!"
Linyuan was clearly panicked as well, his eyes red, repeatedly apologizing, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Don't cry. I've already called Mo Zhe over; he's very capable. Don't worry. Are you hungry? Can I feed you some Chinese Mitten Crab?"
She huffed in anger but, considering her life, nodded slightly.
Linyuan sat at her bedside, carefully helping her peel the crab shell bit by bit. By the time Mo Zhe arrived, she had already made a mess with oil all over her mouth.
Mo Zhe looked at the scene in front of him and was momentarily stunned. The next moment, he stepped forward and grabbed her limp hand, looking puzzled and asking, "Did you go to some unclean place? You've attracted bugs."
She immediately widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously, anxiously saying, "You should know that plants are most afraid of pests; how could I possibly attract bugs?"
Mo Zhe frowned slightly, "I'm afraid someone has placed bugs in your bedding. To treat this, we must find the hidden bugs on you little by little. However, men and women shouldn't have close contact..."
Before he could finish speaking, Linyuan had already stood up, lightly cleared his throat, and said firmly, "I'll do it!"
Everyone in the room stepped back. She lay on the bed wearing only a belly band while Linyuan helped her catch the bugs. Embarrassed, she buried her face into the pillow, feeling distinctly that his fingers brushed against her skin inadvertently, trembling slightly.
Time seemed to stretch endlessly as Linyuan helped her catch the bugs. Feeling embarrassed, she wrapped herself in the new bedding she had just received, leaving only her eyes visible as she looked at him with a complex expression.
So many emotions made her feel flushed, and she could only whisper, "What happened last night was my fault. I will definitely tell you when I leave the palace in the future."
"No." He shook his head with a complicated expression, his brow furrowed. "I was too petty. I don't want to see you with other men... Luan'er, do you like Mo Zhe?"
"How could that be!" She widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously. "Mo Zhe already has a master’s wife..."
She immediately covered her mouth!
Linyuan frowned and pressed on, "What master’s wife? Mo Zhe has a woman?"
"No, no, I was just talking nonsense." She forced a laugh to cover it up. Linyuan looked at her suspiciously but didn't press further. Instead, he reached for the jade pendant at his waist and took it off.
As soon as Su Luan saw the jade pendant, she thought of the assailant who had pushed her in the heavenly realm. Hatred surged within her, but unexpectedly, in the next moment, Linyuan hung the pendant around her neck.
"This jade pendant has always been with me. Now I give it to you, hoping it will protect you from illness and disaster and ensure a smooth life."
This turn of events caught her off guard. She had always believed that the owner of this jade pendant was the one who had pushed her into the water. Now that it belonged to her, who could the assailant be?
She rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought as countless ideas flooded her mind.
Since she fell ill, Linyuan had been tirelessly taking care of her, more attentive than a nurse. However, every time he looked at her, his expression would flicker with uncertainty.
In just a few days, her withered arm caused by the insects had returned to normal, and the person who had released the insects was also found out.
It was a concubine who had long resided in the palace, and out of jealousy, she had specifically sought these Aphids to harm her. Linyuan immediately imprisoned her in the cold palace.
The good food and sleep over the past few days made her increasingly lazy, and in a daze, it felt as if she had dreamt of returning to her childhood days spent with her master.
Her master treated her very well; although he had a severe obsession with cleanliness, he would go into the river to catch crabs for her.
The crabs in the heavenly realm were unlike those in the mortal world; they possessed terrifying combat abilities. So whenever she was starving and crying out, her master would helplessly take off his white robes and run bare-chested to challenge the crabs.
One time, he returned dragging a full basket of crabs but was covered in injuries. She held back her tears, heartbroken. He sighed and embraced her, gently stroking her head while softly saying, "Why are you crying? Your master should take good care of you since I am not around."
She suddenly froze. When she lifted her face, she realized that for some reason, her master's face had transformed into Linyuan's. He looked at her with a smile, his eyes filled with tenderness.
She jolted awake, gasping for breath.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Mo Zhe rushed in with a sword in hand, his face filled with murderous intent. He fiercely grabbed her collar and questioned, "You clearly promised me not to reveal anything about the White-Haired Clan!"
