The Princess And The Lord

"Hold it still" Jin Hao warn her carefully.

"No, don't get close!" Yuan Xue An shakes her head strongly then cower on the corner of the room.

​​

"It's only hurt a little" he sighs tiredly.

"No you lie!" she shouted "How can you not be hurt if you pierce by something that long!" her eyes moist with tears.

"How could you know if you never experience before" Jin Hao tries to comfort the panic girl.

"Who wants to experience something like that" she pursed her lips.

Jin Hao can't take it anymore the blue veins emerged on his forehead "Acupuncture is not hurt, sit here or I tell your Brother you delay the medication and also I tell Empress Ming how coward you are!!" Jin Hao loses his patient and begins to yell.

"Noo…please don't!" Yuan Xue An pleaded then she reluctantly sits next to Jin Hao "Can…can you use shorter needles this one is too long, what happened if you accidentally pierce through my brain" she feel terrified when she sees the long silver needle on Jin Hao's hand.

Jin Hao glared at her "Don't tempt me…" he warns her sternly.

Yuan Xue An immediately shut her mouth, when the needle gets close she closes her eyes and presses her lips tightly, Jin Hao movement halted then he sighs again "You have to relax, you will ruin my precious needle" he complains.

'Is that you worry about?'

Yuan Xue An puffed her cheek in anger but when the needles got close she becomes tense again, Jin Hao then said to her "You know, Empress Ming never wince once when she's under my medication"

"Really?" the little girl gasped "She's so brave" she mutter to herself, she takes a long deep breath a few times until her hand stops clenching and her breathing becomes normal, Jin Hao satisfied his trick is working.

The truth is Ming Yue Yin didn't wince but she cursed a lot, whenever the needle touches her skin she would curse and through the whole day Jin Hao has learned a variety of words for cursing.

Yuan Xue An personal maids watched her from the side, she feel relief when her young miss agree to get acupuncture, normally Yuan Xue An not afraid with acupuncture but the needles Jin Hao used is not a standard used for acupuncture, the needles are thinner and longer than normal acupuncture needles, of course, the timid Yuan Xue An would be terrified.

The acupuncture for today is the first and the most crucial one because it will open her ability to stabilized her Qi with this her body could detox her body from the bad substance inside her body, after this she doesn't need to drink that awful medicine again, he can give her normal but still slightly bitter medicine.

It takes half an hour after he performs the acupuncture and left the needles on her head for a while. Yuan Xue An pout she feel embarrassed Jin Hao see her in this state, even though she had no romantic feeling for him but every woman wants to look good especially in front of handsome men and Jin Hao appearance is the top among other men even Zhao Li Xin didn't look as good at Jin Hao at least for her personal opinion, that Lord is too scary for her, but now she has to look like a cactus tree in front of this diety, how could she not feel embarrassed.

"What's wrong? is it still hurt?" Jin Hao has confidence with his ability is impossible this girl would still in pain?

"No, I'm fine…." She becomes flustered when Jin Hao staring at her "How long I should be like this?" she can't handle the acupuncture but not the embarrassment!

"Half hour" he replied, Jin Hao, fixed his eyes on Yuan Xue An face because he wants to see the difference in her complexion after he put this treatment if it's a success it would show on her skin. Meanwhile, Yuan Xue An feel nervous from his stare but she can't move so she only moves her eyeballs to the left and right awkwardly.

Later on, Jin hao asked again "How do you feel?

Yuan Xue An annoy by his constant question she pursed her lips and answer sarcastically "Uncomfortable"

Jin Hao nods his head solemnly "Good…."

Suddenly Jin Hao's long eyebrows creased as he immersed in deep thought, Yuan Xue An forgets about her embarrassment, she suddenly feel nervous "What.....what happened, is there something wrong with me?" she become frantic.

Jin Hao pinches his chin than he tilted his head "No is not like that... I just thought..."

"What, what do you think?" she becomes panic, is her treatment failed is she going to be a wasted forever?

"Why are you look like Cactus?" he suddenly muttered.

"...."

'Is it too late to change physician now?'

Morning comes as usual but when she opens her eyes a certain beautiful creature was not by her side staring at her as usual, Lory yawn then she stretches her limb with a long groan. She put on the sleepers then she searches for Zhao Li Xin, but she didn't find him in her room or his room. she scratches her beard nest hair.

Lory back to her room then she takes a seat on the small table near her bed, suddenly she feels this morning not as good as it used to. She forces herself to the bathroom when the maids just filled her bathtub.

"Young miss" the maid put down the bucket then she bows at her.

Lory slightly nods her head and smiles, the maid then leaves the room. she tests the water with her hand and the water just got slightly warm because it's only a moment after they filled the water and the crystal still working on heating the water. Suddenly Girsha perch on the side of the tube.

[What's wrong with your face?] he suddenly asked.

[Is that what you ask to a lady in the morning?] she sarcastically said.

[Yes!] he replied firmly.

Lory rolls her eyes ignoring Girsha teasing [You know where Li Xin is?] she props her chin on the side of the bathtub.

[So Princess is upset because her Lord leaves without notice….] he teased her again.

[Shut up! It is not like she needs my permission to do anything] she splashes the water on Girsha with her finger.

Girsha shook his body to dry his feathers [Your Lord is in the study room with that sissy guy]

[Sissy? Bei Li Yan?] Lory raised her eyebrows.

[Yeah I think that one…] Girsha tilted his head, human almost look the same for him just like human thought the bird all look the same.

[Something might happen…] Lory pondering.

She takes a deep breath then she takes off her robes and soaked in the bathtub, she will ask Zhao Li Xin after she takes a bath.
