Volume 1: Phoenix Conceals Cloud Nation Chapter 12: Medicine

  All that could be seen was a stunningly handsome man lying on the couch, even leaning against the pillar. The purple thin shirt was made of high-quality silk, and the person's skin was like porcelain. The purple hair was also scattered all over the place, with an extreme beauty of purple and white.

  Those purple eyes stared fixedly at Dongfang Chun, the originally clear and transparent eye waves were now strange and enchanting. Wasn't this the man she met on the street? Later, he was sent to her own mansion, and in the end, she let him stay, asking the butler to arrange some work for him. How did he end up in her room? The butler said his name was Zixinghen.

  But she felt that the beautiful man's eyes still had a mysterious and eerie aura, his face was slightly flushed, his breathing was slightly rapid and unstable, and his mouth was filled with an enticing smile, as if he was drunk but not drunk, gorgeous and enchanting, this kind of him was stunningly beautiful.

  Dongfang Chun walked over cautiously and gently touched the forehead of the man in purple, discovering that it was scorching hot. Could he be running a fever?

  "Dongfang Chun shouted outside the door, "Ah Ya, Ah Ya!" It was strange that this girl would normally wait for her at midnight, but today she was nowhere to be found. Not only had she brought a handsome man onto her bed, but now she was gone without a trace. Dongfang Chun hurriedly went outside and called out several times, but no one responded. She looked around, but there wasn't a single person in sight. Normally, there would at least be some maids or servants, but today it was eerily quiet. This girl really was spoiled by her own kindness, she thought to herself. It's true that Ah Ya had always been very good to her, and Dongfang Chun could see the sincerity in her heart, so no matter what happened, she couldn't bear to punish her. Alas, where would you find a master as kind as this?"

  But the people inside the house were suffering from a cold, and Dongfang Chun could only helplessly walk back into the room, find a pair of scissors, and give a flattering smile to the handsome man in purple clothes, saying "Don't worry, I'll find someone to treat your fever right away. You're running a high temperature now, but after I apply some medicine, your cold will get better." As she spoke, she couldn't help but notice the beautiful eyes of the handsome man, which were very seductive. She suppressed the ripples and tremors in her heart and focused on treating the handsome man's illness, which was indeed a fever. Next to them was a strange piece of equipment with a mysterious lock, and the scissors couldn't cut it open, nor did it have any visible buttons or latches, only a small keyhole that was easy to overlook.

  After messing around for half a day, she was already drenched in sweat, but the man was extremely calm, and his purple eyes seemed even more mysterious.

  "Cloud King, the key is on the table." Dongfang Chun hurriedly picked up the key from the table and unlocked it. She was very tired from taking care of people all along, so after she finished, she rushed out of the door.

  Before long, Dongfang Chun came in with a basin of water and a towel. With a gentle smile at the handsome young man, "Zixinghen, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for the night. Let me use some cold water to cool you down, and your fever will subside." As she spoke, she placed the towel on his forehead.

  Dongfang Chun was suddenly pulled to one side by Zixing Hen, the water basin also fell to the ground, splashing everywhere. The two of them were facing each other in an awkward position. Dongfang Chun couldn't move at all, his hands were mesmerized by Zixing Hen's enchanting and mysterious purple eyes. Looking into those captivating purple eyes, Dongfang Chun's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, this guy is indeed a pretty boy, no wonder he was surrounded by those heavily made-up women on the street.

  The purple star mark looked at the eastern spring, and she was less arrogant than usual. Her skin was not smeared with any powder, and she looked at him with a pair of bewildered eyes. Her eyes were clear and transparent, her facial features were delicate, and her skin was like snow, making his heart flash with a wave of ripples. He calmed down and smiled self-deprecatingly. This Cloud King seemed different from the legend. In this way, he helped him solve the medicine, and he didn't lose out either. At least, she wasn't as cruel and terrifying as the legend said.

  What I just experienced was the Thousand Year Ice Coffin, which can't be opened without a key. Originally thought it would be sealed away, hehe, today is indeed strange.

  "What are you going to do?" Dongfang Chun's heart flashed with unease, this Zi Xing seemed to have a problem with her brain, she was now anxious to get rid of Zi Xing and had forgotten the conduct of her previous life.

  Dongfang Chun struggled constantly, she felt that this person was too strange and suspicious. Although he was clearly running a fever, how could his strength be so great?

  Zixinghen gazed at Dongfang Chun with a cold, detached gaze. Regardless of whether it was a misunderstanding or not, everything was her doing. At this moment, He Xinli flashed a look of disdain and mockery.

  Dongfang Chun didn't care what he thought, she would rather not have saved this man just now, hoping that he could let her go, even if she used all her strength, she couldn't match his power.

  Looking at the woman's eyes, a faint tear appeared in the corner of her eye, as if she was extremely wronged, especially with a cold light emanating from her pupils.

  The purple star mark's purple eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, then a sarcastic smile "Cloud King, you're really good at pretending, isn't this what you were expecting? For this, how many men did you capture? Could it be that Cloud King has changed his ways, or is he just playing hard to get... I'm doing exactly as you hoped, aren't I?"

  With a "slap", Dongfang Chun took advantage of the moment when Zixinghen was relaxed, and slapped her face. She felt her mind go blank with anger and humiliation, her hand moving faster than her rational thinking. But seeing the palm print on her face, she thought about where she was and regretted it. Would this Zixinghen take revenge?

  Zixinghen stroked his left cheek, not angry, but with a strange glow in his purple eyes, he sneered at Dongfang Chun and smiled "Cloud King is really a master of acting, didn't you have someone give me a soft bone powder and medicine? Cloud King himself isn't treating others like this..."

  Dongfang Chun couldn't listen anymore and shouted at Zixing Hen, "You're talking nonsense! When did I ever let someone give you a soft bone powder and medicine? Moreover, your appearance doesn't even look like someone who has taken the soft bone powder!" Dongfang Chun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Guanjia and Chou Ya had instructed him? Or was it a habit from her past life? She really had been framed, but at least no one suspected her. With this appearance, she could continue to pretend, but there was no way she would sacrifice herself.

  "Zixinghen releases the Eastern Spring, and in the midst of the chaos, he lies down calmly. Controlling his rapid breathing, he gives a cold smile: 'Although I've taken the Soft Bone Powder, my powers can't be used, and you, Prince, shouldn't think about controlling me.'"

  His self-control was extremely strong, and the medicine wasn't extremely potent, so he barely managed to hold on, but if it wasn't resolved soon, it would be very damaging to his body. His powers were also being suppressed now. The house was surrounded by hidden guards everywhere. This Cloud King was indeed despicable. The steward had even put Soft Bone Powder in his tea cup, making him unguarded. It seemed that this wasn't the first time, and he was so experienced in dealing with him. And then there was that extremely ugly maid who took advantage of his inability to use his powers at the time and found several experts to subdue him. He had been brought here because he didn't put up a fight.

  Zixinghen thought to himself when he had such a miserable moment, with a sneer in his heart. He was always cold and proud, and no one could control him. If it weren't for the sake of his family, he wouldn't have to humble himself like this, coming to the Yunwangfu that everyone avoided. But looking at her just now, she didn't seem like the rumors said. The rumors said she was arrogant and domineering, ruthless and cunning, lustful, and lazy. She had no noble bearing at all, and was ugly beyond recognition. He also knew that Yunwangye had tried countless times to climb into bed with beautiful men, but always ended in failure due to his own injuries. Indeed, given Yunwangye's behavior, even if this were a world where women were scarce and men plentiful, Yunwangye would still be shunned by society.

  Good grief, Dongfang Chunxiang burst into a loud scolding. When did she ever think of controlling him? Please, it was he who came to her mansion himself, and yet he says something about his family being poor and coming to her mansion to make a living. Ugh, what a fox, a sinister fox.
