Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 310 Fish Scales

Wen Shubai asked her, "Wife, why are those people looking at us like that?"

"Who knows? Leave them alone."

She took Wen Shubai with her to have lunch.

After lunch, Gu Qingyuan asked him, "When you went to see His Majesty, nothing happened, right?"

"No, everything went smoothly."

He didn't want to make Gu Qingyuan worry.

Wen Shubai recalled everything he saw when he was communicating with the Queen.

"The palace was heavily guarded at the time, and not even a mosquito could get in."

"The Queen Mother was lying in bed at the time, and she looked much more haggard."

There was pain on his face as he said these words.

Although he always felt that he was just a tool for the Queen Mother's interests, he later discovered that the Queen Mother cared about each of her children.

The Queen Mother wanted to train the Crown Princess wholeheartedly, but she turned against her in order to gain power, forcing the Queen Mother into this state.

Gu Qingyuan's hand rested on his shoulder, and her words carried a reassuring power.

"Believe me, Your Majesty will be fine, and this farce will end sooner or later."

Wen Shubai nodded and continued, "From what I've observed, the incense burning in the Queen Mother's Palace smells like sawdust and talcum powder."

These things are mixed in with spices and when burned they produce chemicals that can make people unconscious.

Coupled with the medicine that the princess fed to the queen, the queen would only become more and more dangerous over time.

So, the sooner they rescue the queen, the better.

"okay, I get it."

After getting a general idea, Gu Qingyuan went to look through medical books to see if there was any way to detoxify.

She locked herself in the house for several days and told no one to disturb her.

Ling Yu hadn't seen Gu Qingyuan for a while and missed her a little.

He sometimes goes to the hot springs alone, but the water is still a little hot for him.

When he was soaking in it and trying to get his tail out, he thought of what she had said.

If she wasn't there, he would need to hide himself.

Therefore, the Lingyu never dared to show its tail.

He missed his benefactor so much. When his benefactor left him somewhere else, he was looking forward to seeing her.

After returning home, his benefactor told him that he was safe now and no one would doubt his identity anymore.

He was happy at first, but later he found that he had fewer and fewer opportunities to see her.

No, no, he missed her so much and had to go see her.

After asking around, Ling Yu found out that Gu Qingyuan was in the study.

He went over and knocked on the door happily, and Gu Qingyuan's cold voice came from inside.

"Didn't you tell me not to disturb me during this time?"

Ling Yu pouted and said aggrievedly, "Benefactor, it's me. I came to find you."

The person inside paused for a moment, then stood up, opened the study door, and saw Ling Yu standing outside.

When she opened the door, Lingyu squeezed in until she was completely in the study.

On the table, in addition to the medical books left by Gu Qingyuan's father, there were also the ones Ye Qiaohuan had given her before.

She looked through them all.

"Hey, what are these?"

Ling Yu pointed to the medical book on the table and asked curiously.

“It’s a medical book.”

He seemed to understand and looked at Gu Qingyuan.

After a while, Gu Qingyuan seemed to remember something and asked Ling Yu, "Why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Gu Qingyuan sat on the stool, still holding the medical book in his hand.

Ling Yu squatted at her feet and said aggrievedly: "My benefactor, my benefactor, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

Gu Qingyuan lifted his chin with one hand and saw his slightly wet eyes, which were full of grievance.

She sighed helplessly and said, "I've been a little busy recently and neglected you, but I will make it up to you later."

Lingyu liked her hands very much. After putting his chin on her palm, he turned her hand over and kissed the back of her hand.

"Don't make trouble."

Gu Qingyuan felt his saliva on her hands and wiped them on his clothes.

With her other hand, she continued to flip through the medical book, trying to see if there was any way to cure the poison in the Queen's body.

However, at this moment, she saw the records in the book.

Mermaid scales can detoxify all kinds of poisons. Grind them into powder and soak them in hot water to detoxify.

The scales that Lingyu had given her were lost somewhere long ago while she was running back and forth.

Ling Yu noticed something was wrong with her and stood up and said, "Benefactor, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Gu Qingyuan closed the book, as if she didn't want him to see it.

Lingyu continued to ramble: "I really want to go play in the water now. I feel like my tail is protesting. I haven't seen water for a while."

Gu Qingyuan realized that he originally lived in the water. Although he sometimes needed to come out to breathe, he was actually still suitable for survival in the water.

"Then I'll take you to another place when I have time, where you can swim as much as you want."

She was referring to the moat, but it wasn't easy to get through there either.

Fortunately, with her current status, no one dared to stop her even if she wanted to go over.

"Okay, okay."

Ling Yu had a pure smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be cleansed, making people feel that their souls were purified when they saw him.

"By the way, can I have another scale from you?" Gu Qingyuan finally asked him hesitantly.

I don't know if his previous wound has healed yet. If I pull out another scale, it might affect him...

Ling Yu answered without hesitation: "Of course, I will satisfy whatever your benefactor wants."

Then he exposed the fish tail, touched the largest scale with his hand, and gritted his teeth.

Before Gu Qingyuan could say anything, she saw that his hands were covered in blood.

His blood was purple, and the colorful scales were stained with the purple blood. The scales reflected the light, looking strange and beautiful.

"Does it hurt?"

Lingyu put the scales into her hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt."

But even though he said this, Gu Qing saw that blood was still flowing out of his wound.

She felt distressed and helpless.

She put the scales aside and quickly found some gauze to bandage his wound.

Lingyu obediently let her do whatever she wanted, without saying a word, and endured the pain even if it hurt.

After bandaging the wound, Gu Qingyuan raised her head and saw Ling Yu looking at her.

"My benefactor, this knot you tied is so beautiful!"

He pointed at the bow that Gu Qingyuan had tied after bandaging his wound.

"Well, this is called a bow tie." Gu Qingyuan explained.

"It looks just like butterfly wings, no wonder it's called a butterfly knot."

When Lingyu's tail turned into legs, the place where Gu Qingyuan bandaged him became his thigh.
