Chapter 20: Good will and bad luck

Huh? Did Xiao Tianyao got possessed?

Lin Chujiu felt something was wrong, so she opened her eyes. She saw Xiao Tianyao strongly suppressing the pain he felt on his face.

“What’s wrong with you?” Lin Chujiu asked, trying to suppress the joy she felt: Xiao Tianyao had an accident? She finally has a way now!

“Don’t act impulsive and rejoice, it’s too early for that!” Xiao Tianyao would like to know what Lin Chujiu will do, but still, he said word by word while gritting his teeth: “Benwang (this prince) can kill you easily.”

Xiao Tianyao’s face turned pale as he gritted his teeth. Seeing him in this kind of situation, one will know that he was suffering from inhumane torture.

Lin Chujiu can even feel Xiao Tianyao’s hand trembling on her neck. His powerful legs that were strongly pressing her legs before lost their strength. Lin Chujiu found it strange. There was something wrong with him. But why the medical system was not issuing an alarm?

Could it be the medical system got broken?

If the M country’s Medical Institute of Engineers heard Lin Chujiu’s words, they will cry. Although the medical system was still in its testing phase and a lot of its stages and features were not stable, it was not in bad condition!

The medical system will issue an alarm for the physician to treat the patient. But, it didn’t issue an alarm for Xiao Tianyao. So to say, the medical system was not forcing Lin Chujiu to treat Xiao Tianyao.

Of course, if Lin Chujiu takes the initiative to give him treatment, the medical system will still give her the necessary drugs she needed according to her diagnosis.

Xiao Tianyao’s face became more and more ugly. His forehead was covered with sweat and the veins in his hand were bulging. Especially, his two legs seem suffering from inhumane torture. But this man doesn’t even make a sound so she doesn’t know what exactly was wrong with him.

In that instant, Lin Chujiu doubt if he was even a human.

“You, are you ok?” Lin Chujiu used to face all kinds of patients. But, this was the first time she sees him as her patient.

Obviously, he was suffering from torture and was almost half dead, but he doesn’t show it. Xiao Tianyao was not pretending to be proud or stubborn, but it was due to his habit and he was already accustomed to it.

At this moment, Lin Chujiu saw herself in Xiao Tianyao. She was an orphan and has no relatives. So, whether she got injured or encountered any problems, she can only rely on herself. It was not because she was strong, but because she got used to it.

If you can’t rely on others, why let yourself look weak?

“Can’t die.” Xiao Tianyao muffled and grunted. He took a deep breath and tried to smooth his breathing. Then he turned his body to release Lin Chujiu and said: “You can leave.”

“You… you’re not going to kill me?” Suddenly, she got what she wanted. But at that moment, Lin Chujiu couldn’t believe what she had heard.

“Do you want to die?” Even if he was suffering right now, he could still spare some of his energy to kill her and help her to die if she wanted to!

“No one wants to die. I’m leaving now.” Lin Chujiu answered him extremely fast. She clutches her injured left shoulder and immediately climbed up from the bed, but she didn’t go.

Looking at Xiao Tianyao who was strongly enduring the pain. Lin Chujiu hesitantly thought while standing beside the bed: Should I save him or not?

“You… don’t want to leave?” Due to the pain he felt,  Xiao Tianyao can only issue a low and hoarse sounded voice.

Wangye (Prince), your injuries in the legs are not yet healed, right?” Lin Chujiu asked carefully. If it was not for his legs, she will certainly feel cheated. After all, the medical system didn’t issue an alarm.

It looked like she shouldn’t rely on the medical system too much. That stuff was not entirely reliable.

“What is it to you?” Xiao Tianyao didn’t hide it. Lin Chujiu knew enough, so there was no reason for him to hide it.

“If you don’t go now, you’ll never get another chance to leave the palace.” He said

This threat this time was true. Lin Chujiu wanted to go near him again to make a diagnosis. But when she heard his words, she quickly recovered changed her mind, and stopped herself:  her feet: “Wangye, could you please stop threatening me? My courage is not that small.”

No wonder the emperor wants to kill him. This man is too arrogant!

“Leave” Xiao Tianyao didn’t say much and just closed his eyes to begin adjusting his breath.

Three months ago, someone made a sneak attack on him. The imperial physician’s diagnosis is lifetime paralysis in his lower body. And indeed he couldn’t get up just like what the physician said.

Earlier, he was able to stand up because he forces himself to use his internal force. And now that his internal force feels exhausted, the injuries on his legs got even worst. His legs were now completely uncontrolled, not to mention, the sudden strong wave of pain.

Xiao Tianyao roared in pain. He no longer cares about Lin Chujiu’s presence. After all, she was a rare and smart woman. He was sure that at this time, she wouldn’t act carelessly under his palm.

Xiao Tianyao tried to use his remaining internal force, hoping to lessen the strong pain in his legs. Unfortunately, it has only a little effect.

Xiao Tianyao’s eyes flashed a touch of coldness. He stared at the top of the bed blankly. He, Xiao Tianyao actually fell to the point of helplessness. He found it ridiculous!

Lin Chuji doesn’t want to save Xiao Tianyao. She doesn’t want to, but she can’t leave. If she leaves,  where will she go?

Another important reason was, those people that the medical system asked her to treat. She hasn’t finished it yet, so she couldn’t run away!

Lin Chujiu saw Xiao Tianyao doesn’t pay her attention. She hid beside the bed and continues to act like a mouse to secretly took medicines from the medical system.

Lin Chujiu didn’t give Xiao Tianyao a diagnosis because she doesn’t know what was exactly wrong with him. In the end, she only knew that he was in pain. So, she only took some analgesic drugs.

In addition to that medicine, she also took some bandages for herself. But, who will she ask to help her bandage her left shoulder ah?

*Kacha*

Bone correction or alignment was one of the cruel things in the world. If the strength she put was not enough it wouldn’t get aligned and it will stay dislocated. Lin Chujiu felt extreme pain in her shoulder. Her lips were trembling, so she wasn’t able to completely suppress her voice.

Xiao Tianyao who was lying on the bed heard her soft voice. He involuntarily looked at the side of the bed. But unfortunately, his line of sight was blocked by a plank of wood. All he knew was that Lin Chujiu didn’t leave.

Lin Chujiu was a strange woman whom people won’t be able to see right through her.

Xiao Tianyao retracted his gaze and no longer bother himself. But, Lin Chujiu appeared in his eyes once again.

“These pills will lessen the pain.” Lin Chujiu climbed up the bed and half kneeled on his side. She got worried that Xiao Tianyao might not believe her so she swallowed the first one: “I will swallow the other one so you will see that there is no poison.”

This analgesic drug’s efficacy was excellent, but she doesn’t know if it will be useful to him. Who knows if he was born with high resistance?

“Medicine can be swallowed?” Xiao Tianyao didn’t doubt Lin Chujiu. If Lin Chujiu wants to kill him, there was no need to use poison.

“My left shoulder got dislocated, so it’s painful. I also need to take one.” Lin Chujiu handed two tablets to Xiao Tianyao: “Swallow them, it won’t harm you.”

This time, Lin Chujiu was hoping to make a good impression on him and make him completely give up to kill her.

“Why you didn’t leave? Are you not afraid if benwang (I) suddenly decides to kill you?” Xiao Tianyao looked at the tablets but didn’t swallow them.

Lin Chujiu smiled wryly: “I believe Wangye doesn’t want to be a villain. Since he let me leave this place. He will certainly not take my life.”

She knew Xiao Tianyao wanted to kill her. But if she leaves this mansion, where will she go? And who knows if someone else will kill her outside.

So, instead of going out and getting herself killed. She would rather gamble her life here. She doesn’t believe that Xiao Tianyao’s heart was completely a stone. After she did so much, will he still take her life?

If this was not enough, then it only means that she has bad luck and met a heartless man… …
