My Rebellious Vicious Concubine Chapter 6: Transfer Poison

Proofread by Men Shunde

Weichu replies in a cold voice, "I didn't go to see the wedding. The wedding of the Crown Prince is a great event of the State and we have a man there to get information. It is reported that the wedding is held as it is planned and the bride has entered the gate of the Eastern Palace."

Mr. Zong is startled on hearing this, looking at Nangong Ning suspiciously, "It is impossible! Miss Nangong has the phoenix bracelet on her wrist and she must be the eldest daughter of the Nangong family. She must be the Crown Princess to be. Now she is here, how come there is a bride there?

Weichu shakes his head, "I don't know. But the t.i.tle of Crown Princess could no longer protect Miss Nanggong."

What he means is very clear, that is, they have absolutely no scruple to make Nangong Ning do the work of transferring poison for their Lord, since Nangong Ning cannot be the Crown Princess.

However, Mr. Zong is not so sure about it.

"The work of transferring poison must be done at the bracelet owner's free will."

Looking at Nangong Ning, who is lying on the ground, Weichu says ruthlessly, "The Lord just gave the order to kill her. If she does not like to do the work at her free will, I'll kill her now."

Nangong Ning just comes around to hear the dialogue, which makes her stunned.

She has no one to rely on and no way to think of. It seems that Jun Qianye really wants her to die and the man Weichu will surely carry out his order. She is unable to escape from here. It seems that the only way for her to save her life is to do the work of transferring poison.

But she doesn't want to die!

How could she, a girl with such a weak health, resist the poisons which will be transferred to her body, even Jun Qianye, a man with a powerful internal force, could not endure it?

Mr. Zong crouches down. Looking at Nangong Ning's sad face, he asks, "What is your choice?"

Nangong Ning takes a deep breath before she replies, "It's OK…for me…to transfer poison, but I have a condition to be met."

Weichu gazes at her and says, "You are not in the position to ask for a condition."

Nangong Ning is staring back at Weichu. Her face, though very sad, shows no sign of pleading. She wipes the blood on the corner of her lips with her hand slightly and shows a smile which is somewhat strange.

The smile makes Mr. Zong and Weichu stunned and nervous.

"That's fine! If you kill me, your Lord will be dead, too."

  "You…"

Mr. Zong stops Weichu and turns to Nangong Ning. "OK, what is your condition?"

Nangong Ning does not tell him her condition directly, but tries to get up from the ground by holding tightly the bed leg, and then she stretches to put her hand on the wrist of Jun Qianye to feel his pulse. Weichu is about to prevent her from doing this, but stopped again by Mr. Zong, who shakes his head indicating that they should wait and see.

What she gets from the pulse on Jun Qianye's wrist is a bone-chilling coldness, which makes her frown.

Her bracelet has the function of detecting poison, which functions according to her consciousness without any physical operation from her. What she has to do is to feel the pulse as an ordinary doctor does, but all of a sudden, the information that the bracelet detects rushes into her mind like waves.

  "Please get the following traditional Chinese herbs for me, i.e. Eucalyptus leaves, Mallotusapelta, catchweed bedstraw herb, Meliosmarigida, Abrusmollis…"

She rattles off more than 100 names of traditional Chinese herbs. At first, Mr. Zong tries to memorize one after another by heart. But before long he finds it too hard to remember all of them so he has someone write them down on paper for him, because Nangong Ning says none of them should be missing.

Both Mr. Zong and Weichu believe that these herbs are for the sake of their Lord, so they are in a hurry to get them though they have some doubt about it.

"I need all of the herbs on the list, and they should be ready in the shortest possible time," says Nangong Ning with her clenched fist and her eyes glancing at Jun Qianye, while she clenches her teeth secretly.

Weichu sends the guards of the Lord's Mansion to look for the herbs. And since there are too many varieties of herbs to be purchased, several dozens of the guard groups are dispatched. Even though the work has been done efficiently, there are still some herbs they fail to get.

Nangong Ning is very anxious about the herbs which have not been collected. But she cannot wait any longer, for Weichu will lose his patience if she does not start her work now.

She has the herbs sorted and stacked, and then has the stoves and jars prepared before she says "Let's start now."

She then sits beside Jun Qianye and stretches her hand out to grasp his hand.

In fact, she does not know how to transfer poison, neither did the original owner of the phoenix bracelet.

What she does know is that since her poison-detecting bracelet is connected with her consciousness, she brought it with her when she came to this world by time-travel. And since the original owner of the phoenix bracelet had a bracelet which looks exactly like her poison-detecting bracelet, somehow, the two bracelets integrate into one now.

Perhaps, the functions of the two bracelets have been superimposed, too.

So she plans to control the phoenix bracelet with her consciousness in the same way as she does with the poison-detecting one.

She closes her eyes and focuses on her consciousness in silence.

Seeing that Weichu looks at Nangong Ning suspiciously, Mr. Zong whispers to him, "Don't be worried. The phoenix bracelet is a wondrous item in the world, so it is normal if something strange occurs.

At this time, Nangong Ning could not hear their dialogue any more, for she is concentrating all her mind on her consciousness of ordering the phoenix bracelet to do the work of transferring poison.

With her closed eyes, she could see nothing, but Mr. Zong and Weichu notice something strange happens.

With their naked eyes, they watch Jun Qianye's wrists turning black gradually. They could see there is something black entering their Lord's visible blood vessels in the arms, and going towards his wrists.

Next, the color of Nangong Ning's phoenix bracelet begins to change from the original red to black. And instantly, the color of her thin wrists changes from white to black, and her blood vessels in her arms become visible and something black comes into the vessels, and the toxin from her wrists runs to all parts of her body!
