Chapter 44

~8 min read 1,474 words

When Qiao Suisui came in, Lan Ze had just finished training under the guidance of the royal nurse and was being helped into a wheelchair.

His Mental Power automatically perceived Qiao Suisui, turned his head, and just "saw" her standing by the door. Lan Ze's Mental Silks were a step faster and wrapped around her silently. When he sensed her low mood, his figure paused unconsciously.

Qiao Suisui was full of guilt, stood there uneasily with her head down, wanted to greet him, but didn't know what to say for the first sentence. Looking up, she happened to see Lan Ze waving at her, smiling gently.

"Just in time, Gamma has developed a new nutrient, with various flavors. I can't taste it, and I don't want to waste his heart. Sui Sui, can you help me taste it?"

"Of course..."

She walked forward in small steps, saw the nurse named Gamma smile politely at her, and then served an exquisite tray with colorful nutrients.

Qiao Suisui first pulled out a colorless one, tasted it in small sips, and a refreshing mint feeling spread in her mouth, and then there was some sweetness.

"How is it?"

"Sweet, it tastes quite good."

"What does sweet feel like?"

Qiao Suisui was stunned. Hearing him ask like this, her heart was full of mixed feelings. She tilted her head and thought, squatted beside Lan Ze's wheelchair, and said: "Sweet is having something you really want, and then getting it, and you can't help but raise the corners of your mouth."

Lan Ze listened to her soft and gentle voice, his unfocused pupils looked at her lightly, and I don't know what he thought of, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Qiao Suisui tasted an ice-blue one again, and her eyes squinted reflexively because of the sourness.

"This is very sour, sour is... is seeing something you like but being snatched by someone else first."

Next, she tasted yellow, pink, purple... and then explained the taste and her understanding of each one to Lan Ze in detail.

The young man in the wheelchair listened quietly, his expression extremely focused, and a smile had been hanging on his face.

"... Lan Ze, I'm sorry."

He was stunned, wanted to reach out and hold her wrist, but his fingers moved slightly, and in the end, he did nothing.

"Sui Sui, this is not your fault. Don't feel guilty because I was injured. Speaking of which, I am too useless... I couldn't protect you..."

"No. I knew Zongfang wouldn't give up, and I still went out with you alone. It was me who didn't think of this in advance, which made you suffer this experience."

She gently touched his knees and muttered: "It must be very painful, right..." After speaking, she thought Lan Ze had no pain sensation at all, realized she had made a slip of the tongue, bit her lip, frowned, and explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I mean..."

"Sui Sui."

Lan Ze interrupted her gently, "Your guilt makes me feel even worse. I brought you out, but couldn't bring you back. It was my fault from the beginning. Being injured is because my strength is not as good as his, there is nothing to say, I admit it. But if this matter becomes a knot in your heart, I might as well just die..."

Slender fingers covered his mouth, his lips touched her fingertips, and the warm fingertips were not as hot as his burning heart. Lan Ze seemed to hear the sound of his heart beating wildly.

"Don't say that..." Qiao Suisui cheered up and said: "I will definitely find a way to cure your legs."

Lan Ze didn't refute her this time, just smiled gently.

He actually saw it with precognition that day that he would have this disaster. But the picture flashed by, only seeing that he would sit in a wheelchair, and there was no cause and effect, so he couldn't do any prevention and interference.

It's just that he didn't expect this day to come so fast.

Qiao Suisui chatted with him for a while, then watched Gamma push him back to his room to rest. After leaving, she wanted the system to transfer her self-healing talent to Lan Ze, but it was denied.

【The deprived talent can only be used by the host herself and cannot be transferred. If you have other talents you prefer, you can replace them at any time.】

【If I can't have them at the same time, wouldn't the talent I deprived be wasted?】

【If a new talent replaces an old talent, then the old talent will automatically return to the original owner.】

That is to say, if she deprives a new talent, then the self-healing talent will automatically return to Zongfang.

Qiao Suisui's footsteps stopped slowly, thinking of Zongfang who was seriously injured and didn't know if he had survived. Then she shook her head again, shaking away her soft heart.

He was a poisonous snake that imprisoned her and hurt others wantonly.

She couldn't be soft-hearted.

Suggesting this to herself, she originally wanted to return to her sleeping quarters, but bumped into Yishabeier who didn't know where she popped out from.

"Qiao Suisui, you are still wandering here! It's all because of you that Father was poisoned by that ungrateful bastard Ashi!"

She stabilized her body, frowned, and grabbed Yishabeier's forearm.

"What did you say? This matter is related to Ashi?"

A few days ago.

Huangting.

"I didn't call you here for anything else, we are all family, so I'll just say it directly." Geerba Sanshi cast his sharp gaze at Laiboli opposite. The two men were dining across a long table.

"I heard your recent movements are not small. Why, do you want real power?"

Laiboli wiped his mouth slowly with a napkin and smiled: "What is Uncle saying? I have always not liked to manage those idle things."

"Don't pretend." Geerba Sanshi put the dinner knife on the white porcelain plate neither heavily nor lightly, making a sharp collision sound. "Ashi, no matter whether you admit it or not, I will only say this once today. The identity of an Aosilan royal family member is your supreme glory in this life, but besides that, what is not yours, don't covet."

Laiboli revealed a sarcastic smile, raised his eyebrows and said: "What is mine?"

He stared straight at the man opposite whose male style was undiminished. The dinner knife made a flower in his hand, and the next second, with a "pop," it was nailed heavily to the long table.

"Sui Sui was originally mine, why did you let Lan Ze be her mate?"

Geerba Sanshi understood, with no expression change on his face.

"There is indeed nothing to discuss about this matter. I know you are unhappy in your heart. How about this, you go and pick a few females raised in the royal family, and I will make the decision."

"Heh."

Laiboli sneered first, then turned into a big laugh. He stood up suddenly, supported his hands on both sides of the long table, leaned over and stared at the man opposite.

"Uncle, do you know what I find most disgusting about you? It's your face that everything and everyone is under your control. Not to mention whether I am willing to become a mate with those females, just say those females, have you asked for their wishes? Even Yishabeier is a chess piece in your hand. Have you asked whether she wants so many mates? Why do you think everyone must be at your mercy?"

Geerba Sanshi was furious. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a "bang" under the table, and the whole long table shook for a moment.

The Huangting guards immediately stepped forward and lifted the tablecloth. They saw a delicate little body curled up under the table, which was Yishabeier.

After listening to Yishabeier's description, Qiao Suisui couldn't help but frown. "So you don't have direct evidence that Ashi poisoned him."

"What evidence do I need, this is such an obvious thing. That guy is just angry that Father let you and Lan Ze mate, so he attacked Father. The doctor said this kind of poison is colorless and odorless, and it is impossible to detect in time, and it can only be obtained on the Neighboring Star. That place is exactly the territory Ashi was enfeoffed."

Qiao Suisui intuitively felt something was wrong. Even if Laiboli was dissatisfied with the Emperor, he wouldn't use such an obvious method... so obvious that even Yishabeier could know that this poison could only be produced in his territory.

Yishabeier ignored her contemplation and pulled her away.

"You come with me to find that guy for the antidote to save Father!"
