CHAPTER 142: CHAPTER 142: FROM NOW ON, I WILL PROTECT YOU

Feng Shui turns, who could have imagined that the Grand Doctor Chu, who once drove all the women in the Imperial Palace mad, would end up in this state today.

Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo also fell silent.

Even Gui Hu inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman was unusually silent, refraining from mocking.

Thud—

A muffled sound.

The three people in the room turned their heads towards the source.

They saw Silly Chu bumping his head against the table, his eyes brimming with tears, rubbing his head, looking dazed and cute.

It turned out that Silly Chu was just too sleepy.

"Sleepy~Hurts~"

"If you’re sleepy, go to sleep."

Xin Lin looked at the tall and robust Bei Qing, unable to describe the feelings in her heart.

This man, whose blood was the same as hers running through his veins, had intentions of recognizing each other before coming to Purple Cloud City, but thinking of how he had abandoned his wife and daughter, she inevitably felt some disgust towards him.

However, after meeting him in person, she found herself unable to hold any grudge.

Silly Chu glanced at Xin Lin, then at Noble Lady Shi and her son, nodded his head, and obediently got up, walked to the bedside, hugged a pillow, and curled up on the floor.

"Imperial Physician Chu, this won’t do, the floor is cold."

Noble Lady Shi was startled and hurried to pull Imperial Physician Chu.

Before she could touch Silly Chu, he shrank back into the corner, his face filled with panic, clearly frightened by Noble Lady Shi.

He seemed very afraid of people approaching him.

In fact, since Xin Lin brought him back, besides Xin Lin, even when Little Xinzhuo approached him, Silly Chu would show a terrified expression.

"Who told you to sleep on the floor?"

Xin Lin motioned for Noble Lady Shi not to act recklessly, then she approached, crouched beside Bei Qing, and asked softly.

"Chu... Yuan..."

Silly Chu hesitated for a moment but still blurted out a name.

"It was that fake physician that day!"

Little Xinzhuo realized then.

Xin Lin rubbed Silly Chu’s head, her face breaking into a smile like she was petting a big dog.

"Be obedient, from now on, with me protecting you, no one can force you to sleep on the floor. Chu Yuan, I’ve remembered this name, I’ll find him one day to settle the account."

Xin Lin’s face was as bright as flowers, but as she spoke, both Noble Lady Shi and Little Xinzhuo were taken aback.

They had known Xin Lin for so long and had never heard her speak in such a tone before.

That tone...

"Heh~ That’s the tone of a murderer."

From inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman, Gui Hu looked enlightened.

Having known the little fellow for some time now, the more furious she was, the more she concealed her emotions.

Behind her smile often lay a lethal blow.

The people of Chu Mansion must already be marked by this little fellow.

Silly Chu still looked terrified, but as sleepiness overwhelmed him, he obediently climbed onto the bed under Xin Lin’s coaxing and soon was snoring loudly.

Noble Lady Shi comforted Xin Lin for a while, and then took Little Xinzhuo back to their room to sleep.

In the room, the wick of the oil lamp crackled as it burned.

Xin Lin looked at the Silly Chu on the bed.

A flash of golden light flickered in her eyes.

Just now, she had been observing for half an hour, not daydreaming.

She was employing Fu Xi’s Energy to check on Bei Qing’s condition.

Bei Qing had been severely injured in the past, but Emperor Longteng had exhausted the resources of the Imperial Hospital to treat him. His body indeed had no old wounds, yet strangely, there was a weird murky aura beneath the area of his head.

Unfortunately, she only saw that mass of murky aura, but couldn’t figure out exactly what they were.

Due to its location in the head, she also couldn’t use ordinary methods to inspect it.

"Don’t waste your energy, with your current abilities, you can’t save him."

As Xin Lin was deep in thought, the voice of Rascal Corpse floated out from the Sealing Spirit Talisman.
