Chapter 10
Late at night.
Rong Yang lay collapsed in the study without moving, her eyes tightly closed. Her slender fingers tapped lightly against the tabletop.
“Princess, Princess!”
Urgent and piercing shouts came one after another.
Rong Yang slowly opened her eyes, and her hoarse voice sounded.
“Come in.”
“Princess, the princess consort’s heat period has arrived. No one else can get close to her. We must ask Your Highness to go over.” Imperial Physician Li’s breathing was unsteady, clearly because she had run over in a hurry.
Rong Yang froze. She still had not clearly heard what had been said.
“Say that again.”
Imperial Physician Li took a deep breath, steadied herself, and said word by word, “Princess, the princess consort’s heat period has arrived. No one dares approach her.”
“What heat period?”
Wait… heat period!
Rong Yang’s breath abruptly stopped.
Those three words were both unfamiliar and familiar, completely jolting Rong Yang awake. She had nearly forgotten that in this world, Kunze and Qianyuan had two heat periods each year. During heat, desire was difficult to control.
She almost flew toward Fanghua Hall. Imperial Physician Li followed quickly behind her.
The doors of Fanghua Hall were tightly closed, but Rong Yang could still faintly smell a trace of jasmine fragrance.
It was very faint, yet she somehow caught it.
This fragrance was especially sweet and fragrant, making one’s mind long for it.
“Princess, everyone in Fanghua Hall has already been driven away by Chunxi. At present, only the princess consort and the unconscious Lanxin remain inside the entire Fanghua Hall.”
Imperial Physician Li pushed the doors open.
The scent grew even richer. Rong Yang could even feel herself being wrapped up by it.
It was trying to completely invade Rong Yang.
At this moment, her heart beat fiercely because of an extreme, almost desperate craving.
She wanted more.
She wanted to obtain even more of that fragrance.
The intense scent wrapped around her, tightening layer by layer. Her body gradually heated, her mind grew dizzy by instinct, and she wanted to find the source of that fragrance.
“Princess, Princess!” Because Imperial Physician Li was a Zhongyong, the fragrance had no effect on her. Her calls made Rong Yang regain a little clarity.
Rong Yang came back to herself somewhat. What was wrong with me?
Only belatedly did she remember that this was the world inside the book. In the book, Qianyuan were naturally attracted by Kunze scents.
“Imperial Physician Li, what should be done now?” Rong Yang suppressed her emotions and asked in a low, hoarse voice.
“Princess, these are inhibitor pills. Take one first!” Imperial Physician Li suddenly handed over a small medicine bottle.
“…Why didn’t you say so earlier!” Rong Yang rolled her eyes at her.
“This official is a Zhongyong and forgot for a moment that Your Highness is a Qianyuan.” Imperial Physician Li laughed guiltily. “Also, this is inhibitor paste. Please apply it to the back of your neck. The princess consort is a high-grade Kunze, and her scent is extremely tempting to Qianyuan. After applying the paste, it can prevent Your Highness’s scent from leaking out and reduce its influence on the Kunze.”
Rong Yang swallowed the inhibitor pill, and her agitated emotions slowly calmed. After applying the paste, a cool sensation covered her heated gland.
“Princess, after you enter the bedchamber, you must first feed the princess consort an inhibitor pill.”
“After she calms down, apply the paste to the back of her neck,” Imperial Physician Li instructed.
Rong Yang accepted the medicine bottle. “This princess won’t be in any danger, will I?”
“You are a Qianyuan and have a suppressive effect on Kunze. Even if there is danger, nothing will happen,” Imperial Physician Li said respectfully with a smile as she opened the bedchamber door and stepped aside.
Rong Yang opened her mouth in shock, thinking she had heard wrong.
What did she mean, even if there was danger, nothing would happen…
As the bedchamber door opened, an even richer jasmine fragrance rushed toward her!
Imperial Physician Li had already retreated outside the main hall and even shut the door tightly behind her…
…She ran really fast.
The bedchamber was completely dark. Why was even the night lamp out?
Rong Yang instinctively held her breath and lit the night lamp.
Then she lit several more lamp wicks.
Only then did the room become much brighter.
Lifting the thin layer of gauze curtain, she finally saw Su Yao lying weakly on the bed. Most of her body was already soaked with sweat. Her wet clothes clung tightly to her body, faintly revealing the skin wrapped beneath them.
Rong Yang instinctively closed her eyes.
But if she closed her eyes, there was no way to deal with the terrible situation before her. She could only open them again.
As she slowly approached, the fresh fragrance carried a faint trace of blood.
Rong Yang’s gaze examined Su Yao’s body. On Su Yao’s left hand, thin threads of blood were flowing out. There was a small cut on her elbow.
What was this woman doing?
Self-harm?
Seeming to hear movement, Su Yao lifted her head from between her damp hair. Her picturesque face was shrouded in a flush. Her snow-white skin was tinged pink, beautiful like a piece of pink jade, yet her expression was distant and cold.
Su Yao’s complexion was pale, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red, forming a fragile, broken beauty that was beyond compare.
Seeing her left hand still bleeding, Rong Yang casually tore off a corner of her own clothes and wrapped it around Su Yao to stop the bleeding.
“Get out…”
The hoarse voice was weak and powerless.
Rong Yang bent down and reached out to support her.
Su Yao closed her eyes weakly. “Get out. What are you here for? I don’t want to see you…”
Kunze were born with an unavoidable heat period. The feeling of craving a Qianyuan made her hate it to the extreme.
Naturally, Rong Yang did not listen. She prepared to reach out and help her up.
Feeling Rong Yang approach, Su Yao waved her arms wildly in the air, trying to push her away.
“Get out… get out… stay away from me!”
“Get away, madwoman…”
Her waving hand was caught by a slightly cool palm.
The warmth of the skin in her hand lightly burned Rong Yang, like a fire trying to ignite her.
She forcefully gripped that arm and did not loosen her hold in the slightest.
“You’ve entered your heat period.”
Rong Yang reminded her coldly.
“I brought the inhibitor pills Imperial Physician Li gave me. You must take one now.”
“You would be that kind? Madwoman, don’t touch me!” The hatred in Su Yao’s eyes seemed as if it would devour Rong Yang whole.
Rong Yang: “…”
She lifted Su Yao in one motion and made her sit leaning in her arms. Her right arm tightly restrained Su Yao so she could not flail around, while her other hand took out an inhibitor pill and aimed it at Su Yao’s lips. Just as she was about to feed it to her, Su Yao suddenly struggled violently, and the inhibitor pill slipped from her hand.
In the next instant, her vision went black, and a burst of pain came from her right hand.
It hurt so much!
Rong Yang let out a muffled groan.
Su Yao had bitten the side of her hand viciously. Rong Yang could even feel her teeth sinking into her flesh.
Pain, pain, pain, pain!
Rong Yang reflexively pushed Su Yao away.
The weak Su Yao was pushed onto the center of the bed.
Rong Yang furrowed her brows from the pain. She almost could not maintain the persona.
Was she a dog?! It hurt so much!
She lifted her eyes and looked at Su Yao’s bloodshot eyes, at that stubborn look that would not stop until she reached her goal.
“Put away that hypocritical face of yours. Watching me suffer through my heat period—hasn’t that always been your pleasure?” Because Su Yao’s lips were stained with blood, they looked even more vivid.
“You think I would believe you would give me inhibitor pills?”
In the original book, during these two years, every time Su Yao entered her heat period, she had endured it bitterly. Rong Yang had never given her inhibitor pills. She would even lock her up and admire the way she struggled and broke down in pain.
Su Yao gritted her teeth and hated Rong Yang. Whenever she lost herself, she would cut a wound on her own hand. The pain could briefly clear her mind.
Rong Yang’s gaze fell on Su Yao’s arm.
She saw it…
Those fierce, ugly scars, one after another, usually hidden beneath her sleeves.
Rong Yang’s throat seemed to be blocked by something. She did not know what to do.
She did not know what to say, nor what she could say.
Rong Yang lowered her eyes and climbed onto Su Yao’s bed. Using her own body, she pressed down the person beneath her who kept struggling. She quickly held another inhibitor pill from the bottle in her mouth. With one hand, she pinched Su Yao’s chin so she could not move. With the other, she pinned down Su Yao’s flailing arm.
In this atmosphere filled with sweet, cloying fragrance, she dropped a kiss without the slightest desire.
Their breaths intertwined, and their lips and teeth touched. Just like that, she successfully delivered an inhibitor pill into Su Yao’s mouth.
They separated at once.
She looked at her in panic and covered Su Yao’s mouth with her hand until she saw her swallow the pill.
In her heart, she thought, If I die, then I die. At worst, it is only death. It is not as if I have never died before.
