Chapter 86 - 86 86 Lets Sleep Together
?Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Let’s Sleep Together Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Let’s Sleep Together This trip was worthwhile, as I managed to gather clear information about Dugu Xiaojin’s illness from Princess Consort Shun.
When Feng Bailing returned to the side hall, it was already deep into the night.
On the couch, Dugu Wu and his son had actually fallen asleep. Even in his dreams, the man’s brow was tightly furrowed. Under the lamplight, his facial features were as if carved by the gods, extraordinarily handsome.
Dugu Xiaojin turned over, kicking off the covers.
His sleeping posture was as restless as Feng Xiaoli’s. Feng Bailing couldn’t help but laugh in amusement as she stepped forward to tuck Dugu Xiaojin back under the covers.
Little did she know that Dugu Wu’s sleeping habits were even less restrained; half of his body was exposed.
Such a golden opportunity, how could she miss it!
Feng Bailing eagerly stepped forward to pull the covers, but as soon as she touched them, Dugu Wu seemed to sense something. He grabbed Feng Bailing’s hand.
The next moment, with a forceful pull, Feng Bailing tumbled into his arms. Feeling the warmth on his body, Dugu Wu’s furrowed brow relaxed, and his breathing became steadier.
Feng Bailing lay on top of Dugu Wu, and he actually took her for a blanket!
Feng Bailing was both frustrated and overjoyed.
Frustrated because the man had grabbed both of her hands and she couldn’t move at all, and joyful because it was the first time they had such extensive close contact. She could feel her seventh sense growing by leaps and bounds.
For the sake of her seventh sense, she endured.
Until dawn, when Dugu Wu woke up, he felt a heaviness on his chest and something soft pressing against him.
He looked down to see the face of a woman wearing a veil, sleeping sweetly with her dense eyelashes trembling lightly, like the wings of a butterfly ready to take flight.
This woman, she actually climbed into his bed!
Dugu Wu wanted to kick her out with one foot, but he couldn’t move his legs.
But upon seeing his own hands, a heat surged through his abdomen. His hands were wrapped around Feng Bailing’s slender waist, holding her tightly with an overwhelming desire to possess.
With a darkened face, Dugu Wu stumbled and rolled out of bed and hastily left the side hall.
After Dugu Wu “escaped,” Feng Bailing stretched lazily and sat up.
Replenished by the Emperor’s aura all night, Feng Bailing felt physically and mentally delighted, her whole being radiated an indescribable vitality.
Dugu Wu, what a tonic.
Feng Bailing took out the emergency kit, opened it to check, and saw that all the necessary medication had been restocked.
Beside her, there was the tender voice of Dugu Xiaojin.
Dugu Xiaojin’s face still wore a look of surprise.
In fact, he had woken up earlier than both his mother and father.
He saw his father holding his mother, sleeping beside them both, he was so happy!
The servants of the Prince Mansion all said that only two people who like each other would sleep together.
Father likes mother!
Feng Bailing saw the freshly awakened Dugu Xiaojin, his eyes wide open, his little face just woken up like a red apple, she couldn’t resist giving Dugu Xiaojin a kiss.
“Xiaojin, your body isn’t in serious trouble anymore, after the medication, you should go to school.”
Feng Bailing said with a smile as she had a palace maid bring over breakfast and a bowl of stewed medicinal soup.
“Xiaojin doesn’t want to take medicine.”
Dugu Xiaojin’s eyes were slightly red, his lips pressed tight.
He didn’t remember what had happened last night, but he vaguely knew that he must have done something wrong.
Last time, he also remembered nothing, and the Princess Consort Shun had an Imperial Physician give him many medicines to drink.
“Don’t drink the medicine if you don’t want to, here are some sugar-pills, keep them with you. Next time you feel scared or angry, eat one immediately.”
Feng Bailing took over a porcelain bottle, which had just been replaced with new medicine from her first aid box.
She gave Dugu Xiaojin twenty sedative pills, which have a very good calming effect on his emotions and can slowly improve his condition.
Dugu Xiaojin obediently accepted the medicine, got dressed properly, and was then taken to the Imperial Academy by Feng Wan.
The illness of the Empress Dowager stabilized after several days of treatment and observation. She rewarded the mother and daughter with some jewelry and fabrics, and only then did they leave the palace.
“The enrollment for the Yuxiu Academy’s examination is today. I heard that you can register at the market. My daughter plans to go and register first, then visit Xinglin Spring.”
Feng Bailing had the Coachman drop her off at the market and told Dongfang Lianhua to return to the mansion first.
The market today was busier than usual. A few lightly dressed female teachers from Yuxiu Academy stood out in the crowd, each of them with remarkable appearance and outstanding temperament.
“Ladies, please line up and collect your number cards, register your names. The number cards have the time on them, come to Yuxiu Academy for the assessment tomorrow according to the time.”
“Number seven hundred sixty-three.”
Feng Bailing stood in line and heard the number being called out at the front.
There were only ten slots for non-noble-born women, and it got as high as over seven hundred numbers. The competition was quite intense.
In front of Feng Bailing stood a round-faced plump girl who seemed younger than Feng Bailing and was about the same height as her, quite full-figured.
“My name is Ouyang Chenchen, I come from Daye.”
Daye Dynasty is a large nation bordering Great Chu, the two countries, being equally powerful and with frequent border conflicts, have been at war for years.
During the years Feng Bailing begged, she had met many Daye merchants on the streets and knew a bit about Daye’s customs and national conditions.
She remembered that about a year later, Daye Dynasty underwent a coup d’état.
The Emperor of Daye Dynasty was assassinated, concubines conspired with external relatives to misgovern, and all the Emperor’s children were slaughtered.
After the two of them registered, it was already dark.
After saying goodbye to Ouyang Chenchen, Feng Bailing walked towards Xinglin Spring.
After Doctor Yang’s death, Xinglin Spring was investigated by the government, all the inferior medicines were destroyed, and the accounts were rechecked.
A couple of days ago, when she was in the palace, Dugu Wu told her that Su Wang’s injuries had healed, and he volunteered to be the store manager at Xinglin Spring.
Entering Xinglin Spring after a few days, she immediately smelled the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
“Owner, Xinglin Spring can reopen for business tomorrow. The incident with Yang Shoucai has had a significant impact, and the Medicine Shop’s business might suffer for a while. Additionally, the shop still lacks a doctor to see patients.”
Su Wang reminded her.
“As for the doctor’s matter, I will ask Lu Yin for help. As for restoring the shop’s reputation, I am still thinking of a method.”
While they were talking, they heard someone cursing outside.
“Here, smash this place!”
A few ferocious-looking servants rushed in and started smashing things without any explanation.
Su Wang led a few assistants to stop them.
“The law? I am the law! You quacks hurt people; not only will we smash Xinglin Spring, but we’ll also report this to the authorities and have you all thrown in jail!”
A man walked in arrogantly.
He had a decent appearance, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall and burly, dressed in lavish clothes, with his eyes perched on top of his head, not deigning to look directly at people.
