Chapter 052: Beloved Courtier, this is the land that I(Imperial) have conquered for you 2.6

There was a flash of silver light and a sharp dagger was placed across Murong Jiu’s neck. Luo Ling’s voice was cold and bone-chilling, “I’ll kill you.”

Threatened with a blade against his neck, Murong Jiu smiled instead.

The smile didn’t reach the bottom of his eyes however.

Looking more closely, it could be seen that there was fierceness and insidiousness mixed inside them.

Two fingers clamped the body of the dagger and effortlessly pushed the dagger back.

“I never accept threats. The more challenging things are, the more pleasurable it is to conquer, even if it’s a flower…”

Approaching Luo Ling’s ear, Murong Jiu paused, then said, “…which has thorny vines. I can pull out the thorns on him, one by one.”

Luo Ling leaned back uncomfortably, avoiding the other party’s strong breath.

This was different from the men Luo Ling had come into contact with before. This man was so aggressive that he couldn’t stand it.

The sword was tightly clenched in Luo Ling’s hand.

“You just woke up and your body is still weak. You are struggling to hold your weapon. I will keep this dagger for you first.”

As Murong Jiu spoke, he took away the dagger in Luo Ling’s hand without listening to the other party’s protests. He didn’t give Luo Ling the right to refuse at all.

“Take a rest first, I’ll go bring you medicine.”

Luo Ling’s expression changed slightly. He pursed his lips tightly.

He seemed to have seen in this person… Ah Jin’s shadow.

Luo Ling couldn’t help, but close his eyes and lean back on the cushion, his heart surging with emotions.

Ah Jin’s already gone… He’s no longer here..

Just like Luo Ling’s heart, it wouldn’t beat (for someone) anymore.

Perceiving that someone was approaching, Luo Ling quickly covered up his exposed emotions. He opened his eyes and indifferently looked over.

A well-built man in a black python robe walked in, carrying a dark-as-night decoction.

There was obviously no expression on Murong Jiu’s hard and cold face, but Luo Ling was stunned when he saw the underlying concern on Murong Jiu’s face.

It was just like Ah Jin’s reaction when Luo Ling was injured for the first time.

The eyes were deep and quiet.

But the hand hidden under the quilt was tightly holding the bed sheet.

“It’s a bit hot, slowly drink it.” Murong Jiu naturally sat next to Luo Ling and handed the bowl over.

Murong Jiu didn’t notice that his own behavior was different from his usual self.

Waiting at the door, Chief Eunuch Liu, who was considered to have accompanied His Majesty when growing up, was even more frightened and nearly knelt down on the ground.

Who didn’t know that the monarch of the Fengtian Kingdom had an unpredictable nature, that he was cruel and violent.

Contrarily, he ruled the kingdom in a good way and put the people to great use.

The powerful army, a secure and well-fortified city, and unity became the stronghold of people’s will.

Unexpectedly, Fengtian Kingdom became the most difficult and toughest to encroach on among the several kingdoms.

Compared to it, the benevolent Luo Kingdom was naturally the best for other kingdoms to conquer.

It turned out that this was indeed the case.

Luo Ling stretched out his hand to take the porcelain bowl. The overly high high temperature passed from his fingers straight to his heart.1

Luo Ling didn’t seem to feel it at all.

Just as he was about to put it to his lips, it was snatched away from him.

Luo Ling raised his eyes and looked over.

The man’s face was dark.

“It’s so hot, why don’t you say anything?” Staring at Luo Ling’s already reddened fingers, Murong Jiu felt some discomfort in his heart.

Seeing that the other person didn’t say anything, but only fixedly looked at him, the fire that had just risen in Murong Jiu’s heart was extinguished again.

“Forget it, I’ll blow on it for you.”

Luo Ling lowered his eyes, hiding the different look inside.

Murong Jiu huffed and puffed and blew for quite a while, making sure that the medicine wasn’t so hot before sending it over again.

This time, Murong Jiu didn’t give Luo Ling the bowl. Rather, he placed it directly against Luo Ling’s lips and said in a domineering tone.

“Your hands are inconvenienced, so I’ll feed it to you. It’s not hot anymore.”

The inconvenienced Luo Ling: “…”

Was his hand cut off or was it crippled?

Luo Ling quietly stared at the other person and didn’t move.

Murong Jiu also looked back at Luo Ling without any signs of retreating. The medicine bowl in his hand was even more steady.

If you don’t drink it, I won’t move.

Luo Ling suddenly was suddenly absent-minded and his eyes diverged.

Before he could react, Luo Ling obediently lowered his head and drank the medicine fed by the other party.

“!!!”
