Chapter 659: Mother, Why Aren’t You Helping Me!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Beitang Lie’s eyes, this shabby room was like a luxurious palace.
Chi Jiao was his mother, Huo Chen was his chief eunuch, and Pei Yao was his beloved concubine.
“Officer Huo, please carry him to the bed.” Chi Jiao knew what was going on just by looking at Beitang Lie’s condition.
At this moment, Quan Jue, who was in the other room, heard the commotion and came over.
“What happened?” Quan Jue asked curiously as he watched Huo Chen carry Beitang Lie onto the bed. Beitang Lie kept scolding him for being a damned eunuch.
“He’s most likely too sensitive to the miasma.” Chi Jiao rubbed her forehead.
The miasma in the mountains could also cause allergic reactions, but the chances were slim.
She felt that Beitang Lie was just unlucky.
“What should we do, then?” Pei Yao asked. “We won’t be able to leave today, right?”
They planned to leave Feng Tong Village today.
If the village people knew that they had been to the temple, it wouldn’t be easy for them to leave then.
Therefore, the best solution was to leave before they found out.
Chi Jiao nodded.
With Beitang Lie’s current situation, there was no way he could leave.
“Let me determine his exact condition first.” As Chi Jiao spoke, she walked to the side of the brick bed.
Seeing that he was tightly wrapped in a blanket, Chi Jiao said, “Officer Huo, Brother Quan, find a rope and tie him up.”
Huo Chen and Quan Jue went out to find the rope.
“Mother, why aren’t you helping me! Let go of me, my head hurts! Where are the imperial physicians? Hurry up and find them for me!” Beitang Lie shouted.
Ever since Chi Jiao stepped into the room, Beitang Lie had not stopped shouting.
Chi Jiao’s head ached from his wails. She frowned. “Shut up and be quiet for a while.”
Beitang Lie’s face darkened when he heard Chi Jiao’s words. Not only did he not shut up, but he also raised his voice even louder.
“Mother, you dare to speak to me like this?! I’m the Son of Heaven, the ruler of this country! Speaking to me like this, you’re going against heaven itself. Even if you’re my mother, I can still punish you! Someone, slap her for me!”
Smack!
Beitang Lie had just finished speaking when a small fist landed on his face.
This punch made Beitang Lie feel as if birds were flying in his head, making him dizzy.
“Can you shut up now?” Chi Jiao asked slowly.
Beitang Lie obediently shut his mouth.
Huo Chen and Quan Jue soon brought some rope over.
The two of them tied Beitang Lie to the bed with the rope. They also brought along some tape to gag him.
The world finally quietened down.
Chi Jiao took his pulse.
Beitang Lie’s pulse was a little chaotic, and his condition was rather serious.
Chi Jiao believed that there should be rashes on his body. She lifted his clothes and looked at his abdomen.
Quan Jue’s lips twitched when he saw Chi Jiao lift Beitang Lie’s clothes with such familiarity.
However, he knew that she was doing this to treat Beitang Lie, so he didn’t say anything.
“Jiaojiao, why are there so many rashes on his body?” Pei Yao was shocked to see the small red bumps on Beitang Lie’s abdomen.
“He’s indeed allergic to the miasma, and his reaction is rather serious.” Chi Jiao pulled down Beitang Lie’s shirt and placed a blanket over him. “We have to give him medicine as soon as possible.. Otherwise, his life will be in danger.”
