I used to want to know what had happened to Wu Min Jun, but after hearing it, I would have rather not have known.
Many details I neglected in the past came flooding into my mind. For example, he said that he was hiding on the beam, eavesdropping on others, it was seven years ago when he was twelve. There was also the encounter with an assassin in Dong country, when he said, "Are you doubting my abilities? Since I was ten years old..."
He never mentioned anything about the time before he was ten.
The storing of the food that had spoilt and hoarding of the candles in the secret room...
I looked at Wu Min Jun and his mouth was slightly raised and he said: "Oh, this matter is long in the past, in my heart, I don't feel anything over it so don't think too much about it...what is important now is how we can switch back."
"Oh." I nodded.
About ten days later, a small figure leaped into our palace - Baozi.
**(Baozi means bun, he's the little bun, Situ Youqing's pet...he reminds me of YuanBao from "legend of Fuyao")**
After I recognized it as Baozi, I held it in one hand and lit a lamp with my other. I saw Baozi was carrying a little purse.
Baozi pointed to the purse: "Chi~"
I reached out and untied the purse, and opened it to find a roll of paper and two pills.
The piece of paper said: I found Master, he gave me the medicine, you eat it, remember that there should only be two of you together, you switch back after eating it, but only for twelve hours, but you can take the opportunity to complete the nuptial chamber ceremony.
The signature was Situ Youqing's.
I gave the piece of paper to Wu Min Jun and I held a pill in one hand and looked at it under the lamp. It was black, I sniffed it and there was a putrid smell. Wu Min Jun finished reading the note and burned it, and then came over and asked: "Is this it?
Baozi stood upright: "Chi~!"
It looked quite proud.
I felt it was a little funny, said: "Wait a minute."
I went out of bed, unfolded a piece of paper, picked up a brush and wrote a few words: Thank you, may you never lose your Master again.
Then I put the paper into the purse and tied it back on Baozi, who squeaked and went away.
Wu Min Jun was analyzing a pill and looked at me and said: "Don't eat it for now. In the morning, we'll ask the servants to bring a chicken and a duck to test it."
I said: "You are afraid it is poisoned?"
Wu Min Jun: "Not afraid, just being careful. What's more... Since we can switch bodies, maybe there will also be the same effect between the chicken and duck?"
I: "..."
"As you like..." I put the two pills back in the bottle and carefully stored them.
The next day, Wu Min Jun actually sent for a chicken and a duck from the Imperial kitchen, and also ordered a wooden cage. After the servants were sent away, Wu Min Jun and I took the medicine and fed the duck and chicken separately - of course, the chicken and duck were not willing to eat, so could only be forced, I was really...
After feeding them, we quickly dumped them in the wooden cage, then Wu Min Jun and I went to hang around outside and went to stroll. After an incense stick of time, we went back to our palace, opened the cage and the chicken and duck came out, both of them were good, and then shocking things happened -
They both panicked, they looked at each other and screamed, and the way they were walking was obviously wrong as if they were not adapted to the body they were using now.
**(LoL this must have traumatized the chicken and duck, who knows, maybe they will become enlightened through this experience and cultivate into immortals)**
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It seems really useful, and the scope is not limited to humans."
Wu Min Jun nodded with satisfaction: "Oh."
In this case, the medicine is non-toxic and is effective, somehow I felt a bit apprehensive, Wu Min Jun was very happy, held the medicine in his hands and happily said to me: "mm, we'll take the medicine tonight, wash cleanly."
I: "..."
"Clean your head, I am always clean, you clean your body well..."
Wu Min Jun: "..."
"Then I will wash myself well" Wu Min Jun replied without any qualms.
I felt incredibly embarrassed and said: "Let's talk about this later..."
Wu Min Jun smiled and was just about to open to his mouth to say something, but then from outside rushed an informant announcing that something had happened to Pingyang.
It had only been about two months since the death of the TaiFu. If Pingyang had an accident as well, it will really be too unbearable. Wu Min Jun and I quickly rushed to her house, only to find out that she had fallen as she was walking. LuLu accidentally got angry at Pingyang, so she yelled at him not to follow her - LuLu was slow, so he really did not follow her, while Pingyang was storming off, she stumbled and so fell on the ground.
The Imperial doctor was still treating Pingyang inside, LuLu was in the outer hall with a face wrinkled in nervousness, Wu Min Jun coldly said: "Since Pingyang has met you, she has not encountered anything good..."
Wu Min Jun was lashing out in anger, I stopped him and said: "Cough, this must be the last time, if there is another time... You will follow along in death"
LuLu suddenly spoke up: "The Imperial doctor said that nothing will happen to Pingyang."
I said: "Yes, but you will have to accompany the child in Pingyang's stomach."
Wu Min Jun: "..."
Wu Min Jun was angry and sat on a chair, not long after the Imperial doctor came out and informed that mother and child were both alright, she just needs to rest for a few days, also that Pingyang has been asking to see LuLu and so we went into the room.
After entering, I saw Pingyang's face was very pale and she was lying on the bed. Pingyang didn't look at LuLu instead she looked directly at me: "Royal brother, I heard all the words you said outside."
I: "... . " "
"Do not blame LuLu, it was my own temper that caused trouble..." Pingyang continued with some difficulty, "You must not kill him if the child is gone... there will be no accidents in the future, but if it is really gone...we can still try again, but if LuLu is gone, I will not have LuLu and also no child either..."
I: "..."
"Okay, okay, what a mess, I was just talking," I tried to comfort, "You rest up, this time you have to be careful, you are with child and should not be getting stressed out."
Pingyang nodded.
Pingyang didn't have any serious problem and LuLu was also taught a lesson. After that, Pingyang took the initiative to say she wanted to go back to stay in the palace. Wu Min Jun and I thought about it, their manor was not far from the palace and it will only take a short while. Also, the medical attention in the palace will be better for nursing her than at their manor with the Imperial doctors close by, so I agreed.
Pingyang and LuLu went back to Pingqin Hall, Pingyang's former palace, and Wu Min Jun and I went back to our palace.
After eating dinner, Wu Min Jun and I went into our room and sent the servants away and then took the pills.
The pill was extremely bitter, I frowned. My body felt heavy and my head felt dizzy. It felt a bit like being drunk, but I was conscious and more aware than when drunk as if someone was holding me in the air and swinging me left and right. Gradually, I couldn't help but close my eyes and felt my consciousness was getting more isolated as if it were becoming its own being, a physical existence, like light smoke evaporating, or spring water flowing out, quietly being separated from my body...
Then, I felt a powerful suction from the opposite side. I couldn't open my eyes, I could only be pulled by the suction force without control, I felt a thrust behind me, it was like someone was squatting behind me pushing me, and sending me to another body.
Slowly, I felt everything go hazy and felt detached.
