Abandoned Woman Busy Farming-Chapter 2494 - 2495: Can’t Turn Back Into Human Legs
Da Gu also said with great shame, "It was my petty suspicion. I hope Lord Jiang gets better soon."
The Emperor looked at the Astrologer and said, "Many thanks to the Yin Yang Master today, otherwise we wouldn’t have known what danger could arise."
The Astrologer replied, "Your Majesty is too kind, this is what I should do."
Inside the room, Bai Ruozhu closed the door tightly, preparing to take Jiang Yichun out of the medicine barrel.
"Let’s wait a bit," Jiang Yichun stopped her action.
Bai Ruozhu felt sorry for his fishtail crammed in the medicine barrel uncomfortably, feeling very anxious inside.
As expected, not long after, Da Gu rushed over and said, "Lord Bai, Lord Jiang, we found that the secret passage was newly dug, running across under this yard. It’s too difficult to fill it all in now, and I’m afraid this yard is no longer suitable for living."
Bai Ruozhu frowned tightly, "Has the Emperor arranged a new courtyard?"
"There’s no suitable place for now. Empress Shangzi has given up her own palace, but she suggests you send someone to check it first," Da Gu replied.
Bai Ruozhu nodded and immediately arranged for Jianqi and Yuan Licheng to check it, telling them if there are no issues, to first move the second prince over. She needs to be busy detoxifying Jiang Yichun, and temporarily cannot be disturbed.
Once Da Gu left, Bai Ruozhu then pulled Jiang Yichun out of the barrel and decisively took him directly into the space.
She found a dry cloth to help wipe his fishtail, and soon the water stains were cleaned off, but after a while, Jiang Yichun’s fishtail still hadn’t transformed back into legs!
"How is this possible!" Bai Ruozhu exclaimed in shock.
Jiang Yichun pinched his fishtail, still feeling it, and said somewhat anxiously, "Well, we’ll have to wait and see."
Another quarter of an hour passed, and he was still a fishtail, still not transformed back into legs.
"It’s that Yin Yang Rain!" Bai Ruozhu cried out, "Did the Yin Yang Rain affect your fishtail, making it unable to transform back into human legs for a certain period?"
Jiang Yichun gritted his teeth, "This is troublesome."
He paused and said, "I should go out and wait it out; maybe it’ll be better by tomorrow."
"No way!" Bai Ruozhu immediately opposed, "It’s too dangerous for you to leave the palace now unless I’m by your side."
"This..."
Bai Ruozhu thought it over, "We’ll just have to keep pretending that I’m detoxifying you. I’ll figure out how to get you to the new residence later tonight."
"Okay." Jiang Yichun rubbed his fishtail, finding it bearable without water, but his fishtail couldn’t move, making it hard for him to move at all.
Bai Ruozhu thought about that Yin Yang Rain, and that Yin Yang Master, grinding her teeth in anger.
Not only did it give her false joy, but it also caused this trouble.
Once everyone moved over and returned to ask Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun what their plans were, Bai Ruozhu pretended to still be using needles for detoxification, coldly saying, "You go and protect the second prince first. I’m afraid they’ll act again tonight. I’ll bring Achun over myself when I’ve finished treating him later."
Jianqi, worried, intended to stay on guard, but Bai Ruozhu lowered her face and said, "I can protect him. You go watch the second prince; we can’t miss important matters at this critical moment."
"Yes." Jianqi could only head to Empress Shangzi’s courtyard first.
So in the late night, Bai Ruozhu found a large sheet, wrapped Jiang Yichun, and horizontally carried him up.
Jiang Yichun, a grown man, felt incredibly awkward being carried by his woman.
Luckily, the candlelight was dim, so his flushed face couldn’t be seen; otherwise, he’d feel even more embarrassed.
He kept his lips tightly shut, saying nothing, feeling increasingly useless inside—letting his woman have to carry him.
During the journey, a patrolling unit appeared not far away, and Bai Ruozhu directly hid into the space with just a thought.
"It’s okay, we’ll be there soon," Bai Ruozhu said, glancing at him. The light in the space was good, and she immediately saw his flushed cheeks.
"Achun..." she almost burst out laughing but held it back; laughing at him now would only hurt his pride, wouldn’t it?
"What?" Jiang Yichun asked sullenly.
"Nothing, we’ll be out soon," Bai Ruozhu decided to pretend she saw nothing.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yichun’s voice was even smaller.
Bai Ruozhu stifled her laughter and suddenly kissed him on the cheek, "I’m going out now."
Jiang Yichun widened his eyes, wanting to say something, but they were already outside the space. Speaking now would alert the guards who had just walked away, so he had to bear it.
Thus, the two of them, dodging and hiding, finally reached Empress Shangzi’s Linzhi Palace.
Upon entering the yard, they startled Jianqi, who quickly came forward, intending to help Bai Ruozhu carry Jiang Yichun.
Bai Ruozhu quickly dodged, "Where are we staying?"
Jianqi, slightly surprised, pointed to the nearby room and said, "It’s already tidied up, and a new medicine barrel has been prepared inside for the young master."
Jianqi opened the room door, revealing a very spacious room that didn’t feel cramped even with the large medicine barrel. Bai Ruozhu, satisfied, carried Jiang Yichun inside and told Jianqi, "He cares about his image; being carried by me has already made him sulk. If you carry him, it’ll only irritate him for a few more days, won’t it?"
The joking tone made Jianqi agree that the scene of his master carrying the young master was quite amusing, and a rare smile appeared on his usually stoic face.
"Then I’ll take my leave, Master. You both rest early," Jianqi said.
"Go on."
After Jianqi left, Bai Ruozhu laid Jiang Yichun on the bed and covered his fishtail with a blanket.
At this moment, Jiang Yichun’s face was already as dark as coal, glaring at Bai Ruozhu and saying, "Am I supposed to sulk for a few days, pretending to match your words?"
Bai Ruozhu giggled and simply leaned in to kiss his cheek with a smack.
"No way, you’re a patient now, and I care about you too much to let you sulk!"
Jiang Yichun suddenly flipped her over onto the bed, pressing her body under him, and kissed her passionately.
Bai Ruozhu wanted to speak, but her mouth was sealed shut by a long and fiery kiss, leaving her feeling weak all over, almost unable to breathe.
Suddenly, Jiang Yichun groaned softly, turning to lie on his side away from her.
"What’s wrong?" Bai Ruozhu was startled, quickly getting up to check on him.
To be more convincing, she hadn’t completely detoxified him, but most of the poison had been cleared, and the remaining poison was under control; it shouldn’t have caused him discomfort.
Unless it was the fishtail?
Jiang Yichun’s face looked terrible, "It’s nothing, let’s sleep."
He said simply, with a hint of sullen anger, leaving Bai Ruozhu puzzled, unaware why he was upset again.
She leaned over and asked, "Is your fishtail really okay not being soaked in water? Let me check."
As she spoke and was about to lift the blanket, Jiang Yichun pulled it back fiercely, his face showing embarrassment and anger.
Bai Ruozhu was dumbfounded by this moment of Jiang Yichun, suddenly seeming to understand what was wrong.
