Chapter 74.3 – A Girl’s Worry (3)

T/N: Chapter sponsored by Aana! Thank you for sponsoring! There more fluff in this chapter uwu

After Du Xiao Li arrived in the medicine room, she just picked up a small scale, weighed some medicinal

ingredients from the drawers, and then poured them onto the white paper on the table. Afterwards, she had these

medicinal ingredients crushed into pieced and then grinded into powder. Before finally placing them onto another

sheet of paper.

“What is this used for?” Han Ming Yi crouched by Du Xiao Li’s side. Seeing the fine sweat on her forehead, he took

out a handkerchief and began wiping for her, as he casually asked.

“These are all used to inhibit the gu. Only by making the gu in the body become listless will the certainty of the

outcome be a little higher when it comes time for removing the gu. It’s best if we can get it to sink into hibernation.”

“Will have to trouble you lots on grandmother’s matter.” Han Ming Yi looked to Du Xiao Li’s little face and

passionately said.

“Even if it’s just for my own little life, I’ll still do my best.” Du Xiao Li said. At the same time, she sighed in her

heart. If anything happens to the Grand Empress Dowager during the gu removal process, this little life of hers will

probably be done for.

“No need to worry about that much, you just need to focus on the task at hand. I’ll forever be at your side protecting

you.” Han Ming Yi said.

When Du Xiao Li heard Han Ming Yi’s words, she turned her head to look at him, yet didn’t expect that Han Ming

Yi was crouching right by her side, and in order to wipe her sweat for her, his face was very close to hers. With her

turning her head like this, their faces closely came together, their noses already touching one another.

“You……”

“I……..”

“You talk first.”

“You first.”

The two spoke at the same time, then fell into silence together again, as they stared at one another’s face. The

atmosphere instantly turned somewhat pink.

Han Ming Yi looked to Du Xiao Li’s bright eyes, those pouty pink lips, and slowly had his own lips printed onto

them.

Du Xiao Li watched Han Ming Yi slowly closing in. Her heartbeat instantly increased, and she temporarily forgot to

react, as she just froze there.

As the distance shrank little by little, just when the two’s lips were only that tiny bit of distance away, the medicine

room’s door suddenly got pushed opened and Meng Jiang Zhuo entered from outside, shouting: “Xiao Li…….”

The room’s enchanting atmosphere was instantly shattered. Du Xiao Li and Han Ming Yi hurriedly separated, and

she somewhat frantically looked to Meng Jiang Zhuo. “What’s wrong big sister Jiang Zhuo?”

“Eh, did I disturb you two?” Meng Jiang Zhuo looked to the two of them. Were they being intimate just now? If

really so, then her sins were gave.

“No, why did you come over?” Du Xiao Li asked as she wrapped up the medicine power.

“That uh, his Majesty is planning on returning. He let me come inform you, and also to let Ding Wang go back.”

Meng Jiang Zhuo said. “I’m going to go now.”

With that said, Meng Jiang Zhuo turned and immediately ran out, not forgetting to close the door behind her.

Han Ming Yi got up with Du Xiao Li and looked to the lips that he almost could’ve kissed just now. “Then, I’ll be

going back now.”

“En.” Du Xiao Li nodded, and then continued wrapping the medicine with her head lowered. This incident just now

made her feel somewhat inconceivable. She clearly knew what Han Ming Yi wanted to do, but why didn’t she move

away? Just now, if not for Meng Jiang Zhuo coming in, would they have kissed? Recalling her own reaction, her

face slightly reddened.

Han Ming Yi originally had already planned on leaving, but seeing Du Xiao Li’s seemingly bashful appearance, his

heart instantly melted, and called out her name in a deep and low voice , “Li’er……”

“En?” Du Xiao Li wanted to ask what, but just as she lifted her head, her lips were seized by Han Ming Yi, letting

her eyes instantly widened into a perfect circle.

Han Ming Yi lingered on her lips for a while and parted before she got angry. As he was parting, he even

subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked her once, letting her face instantly look like a ripened apple.

“I’ll go over first.” With that said, Han Ming Yi turned and left. Recalling Du Xiao Li’s sluggish reactions, he felt a

burst of happiness inside. She didn’t push him away. Didn’t this mean that she’s already accepted him?

Du Xiao Li dazedly watched Han Ming Yi disappear from the room, before finally recalling, just now, was this

considered getting forcibly kissed or getting secretly kissed? Normally, when encountering this kind of situation,

wouldn’t one usually give the other party a slap?

Could it be that she has fallen for him? Else, why did she not move away just now, and she wasn’t particularly angry

either. Instead, her heartbeat uncontrollably increased.

But, would she really fall for the men here? Can Han Ming Yi give her the eternal devotion she wanted? He once

said, he’d kept his body pure like a jade for her, even not hesitating to spread those unpleasant rumors. His words,

can she really believe them?

Du Xiao Li’s heart was a mess. She absentmindedly stared at the medicine powder before her for a long while, and

only when she heard the voices outside, did she finally recall that Han Ming Ze was about leave. Thus, she quickly

had the remaining few wrapped up and then headed to the front courtyard to send off Han Ming Ze and them.

“Leng Yi, Leng Er, you two just stay here tonight.”

“Yes.”

Just as Du Xiao Li arrived at the front, she heard Han Ming Yi instructing Leng Yi and Leng Er. Han Ming Yi saw

her and revealed a smiling expression in his eyes.

“Alright, we’ll be going then. Du Xiao Li, grandmother will be in your care. Everything else, you temporarily don’t

need to think about.” Han Ming Ze said.

“Yes.” Right now there were servant girls present, so Du Xiao Li only replied in short.

(T/N: A very simple yes instead of a formal yes you’d say when replying to the Emperor.)

“Let’s go then.” With that said, Han Ming Ze turned around and got on the horse carriage, while Han Ming Yi and

the other Leng bodyguards also got on their horses, and the party slowly left the estate.

“The night is late, everyone all go back and rest.” Du Xiao Li said to the servants, “Ying Ge, Qiao Zhu, you two go

to the kitchen and boil a bucket of water, I’ll be preparing a medicinal bath for grandma Han.”

Du Xiao Li and Meng Jiang Zhuo returned to the courtyard they were currently staying in. Meng Gu was just about

to prepare bath water for the Grand Empress Dowager when Du Xiao Li told her about the medicinal bath, letting

her just wait here to attend to the Grand Empress Dowager for her bath.

Meng Old Madam and the Grand Empress Dowager were still chatting together, and when she felt somewhat tired,

Du Xiao Li had Xia Yuan go prepare the bath water for her to soak in.

Because that medicine needed to be boiled in boiling water, it took a while for the Grand Empress Dowager’s bath

water to be prepared. Xia Yuan and Ying Ge had the water lifted in, while Meng Gu and Hong Xiu, as well as

another one of the Grand Empress Dowager’s personal servant girl Zhao Yun, served her in her bath together.

Du Xiao Li waited until after the Grand Empress Dowager finished soaking in the bath, before applying a few more

needles on her again. Afterwards, she waited until the Grand Empress Dowager had fallen asleep before returning to

her own room.

‘Dong, dong, dong.’

Du Xiao Li had just finished soaking in the bath when a knock sounded from the door. Xia Yuan went to opened the

door, seeing Meng Jiang Zhuo standing outside holding a pillow.

“I came to find Xiao Yi to chat.” Meng Jiang Zhuo said with a smile.

Du Xiao Li looked to Meng Jiang Zhuo and said, “Why did you even bring you pillow over? Don’t tell me you want

to sleep with me tonight?”

Meng Jiang Zhuo walked towards Du Xiao Li’s bed and laid down with a ‘pah’. “That’s right, I’m precisely planning

on sleeping together with you tonight.” With that said, she patted the space next to her and said, “Quickly come up,

let’s talk for a bit.”

Seeing Meng Jiang Zhuo’s mischievous look, Du Xiao Li waved her hand at Xia Yuan and them, and said, “You all

go rest then.”

“Yes.” The three of them retreated out.

T/N: This chapter’s also only in four parts so the next part is the end of this chapter. I’m actually quite excited for
