High Grade Green Tea Transmigrates into a Pitiful Little Girl - Chapter 14

At noon, Noble Consort Ruan sent someone to ask about Talented Xu’s condition.

Noble Consort Ruan’s maid pushed open the door and screamed when she got closer.

Everyone outside ran over.

The palace maid’s face went pale, “Bugs! There are lots of bugs!”

Everyone saw Talented Xu’s bed densely covered with ants and bugs, causing everyone to get goosebumps.

The onlookers were nervous and shocked and started talking to each other.

“Talented Xu is really being haunted isn’t it?”

“Didn’t the eminent monk read the scriptures already?”

“Some grudges are too big. Who knows what kind of evil things she did. Let’s leave as soon as we’re done, let them solve the problem in their palace by themselves. ”

Noble Consort Ruan’s palace maid was terrified. She hurriedly returned to Yunxi Palace and reported the matter to her.

There were one Empress and two Noble Consorts in the palace. As the daughter of the Minister of the Left, Noble Consort Ruan had a powerful family and had been favored ever since she entered the court. She sent people to care about Talented Xu not because she cared about her, but because the whole palace knew that Talented Xu was one of her people. If she ignored her when something happened, she was afraid that the other concubines’ opinion would plummet, and they would stop depending on her.

Now that she had heard her maid’s report, she was shocked and disgusted. “This Palace has already been kind enough. Don’t let her enter Yunxi Palace from now on. She’s a jinx.”

Talented Xu had fallen out of favour for many years and had not given birth. She survived in the palace all these years by relying on Noble Consort Ruan. Her heart was cruel, and her means vicious. To gain Noble Consort Ruan’s trust, she also stained her hands with human lives. Now that she has lost her protection, her future fate can be imagined.

Talented Xu, who was still ill today, did not know all this yet. She was having a fever and nightmares. She woke up thirsty while still half-dreaming, and when she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw that someone was there next to her bed.

Talented Xu was frightened and screamed out, but because her throat was too dry only a hoarse sound came out.

It was Lin Feilu next to the bed.

There was no light in the house, only a few rays of light coming from the eaves’ palace lantern. Lin Feilu was half-kneeling and saw that Talented Xu was awake. She slowly leaned over and whispered on her ears, “Lady Talented, she said she’s waiting for you.”

Talented Xu’s eyes widened in horror as large beads of sweat flowed down her forehead.

Lin Feilu giggled, jumped off the bed, and picked up the lighter next to her. She turned around and asked with concern, “Lady Talented, are you afraid? If you’re afraid, I will help you light the lamp.”

Talented Xu hoarsely screamed, “Hong Xiu! Hong Xiu!”

Hong Xiu was frightened until she fainted last night, and fell ill worse than Talented Xu. But when she heard Talented Xu calling her, she forced herself to come over. Talented Xu said weakly, “Get her out! Let her leave!”

Hong Xiu braced her fighting spirit and said, “Fifth Princess, please.”

Lin Feilu ran skipping outside.

Still sweating profusely, Talented Xu recalled her words and said in fear, “Hong Xiu, light up the lantern, brighten it up a little!”

Hong Xiu followed her instructions and lit up the lamp. As the light filled the room, Talented Xu’s fear finally dissipated a little. Hong Xiu brought in some hot water and wiped her sweat, then went to prepare some medicine. Talented Xu was half leaning on the bed to rest when her eyes suddenly stopped as she accidentally glanced over the lantern.

On the clean blank lampshade, words were slowly appearing.

She thought she might have missed it, so she closed her eyes and rubbed them. But when she looked again, the brown handwriting that appeared out of thin air just became clearer and clearer.

There were five crooked words written there: I Am Waiting For You^[2].

Talented Xu didn’t even get to scream this time. Her eyes rolled back, and she passed out ultimately. When Hong Xiu came back from preparing the medicine, the main hall was turned upside down again. At this time, Lin Feilu was walking around to her room in the side hall and was taking out a brush from her sleeves.

There was a small bowl filled with the juice squeezed out from the sour oranges she picked yesterday on the desk near the window.

Lin Zhanyuan, who had entered the room at some point, grabbed the oranges and took a bite. His face immediately changed from the sourness, and he stuck his tongue out. “Sour! Peh peh^[3]!”
