The Little Consort's
Eps. 16: Finding a Way

Li Anlan was truly sorry for helping Xu Lingshu. He also regretted obeying Long Ji Man's order to swim to bring the woman to the edge of the lake. If not for the cunning Xu Lingshu who did not know the return, Li Anlan would not be like this right now.

These two days, he could only lie down because the poison that made him cold hot was still lodged in his precious body. The poison reaction was very quick. Li Anlan's entire skeleton felt like it was about to come off his joints. He can't move.

In modern life, Li Anlan is a healthy and fit woman. Because his expensive hobby demanded using strong physical strength, Li Anlan did everything possible to keep his body in top shape. Whether it's morning running, aerobics, floor gymnastics, swimming, playing basketball, or deliberately spending long hours in the gym, all while building muscles in his upper arms and stomach.

The tutor said, the sports program run by Li Anlan has been very fitting with the body portion. That was why Li Anlan did not become ugly despite frequently removing sweat and fat from his body. Her waist remained slender and her face remained bright. His skin is also white.

Ah, she suddenly misses her kindhearted sports tutor.

A little while later, Xie Roulan informed him that the Taoist Physician Zhun had come to check on his condition. Instantly the look on Li Anlan's face that had been relaxed turned irritated. Hearing the name of the healer, Li Anlan recalled the incident two days ago, when her body was carried out from the stretcher of Hongwu Palace to Xingyue Palace.

He who was still in a semi-conscious state was thrown into bed by the stretcher-bearers. Then, Tao Zhun came to check his pulse. It was the first time Li Anlan had seen the face of a healer who had diagnosed him as dead. The healer was young, his age was probably about two years older than Li Anlan. His face is pretty handsome. His body was sturdy and tall, just that it was no taller than Long Ji Man. Tao Zhun was pretty enough to be a woman, but too handsome to be a man.

The healer took out a large acupuncture needle that made Li Anlan shudder. He thought, in this world he would not encounter such a big needle. Since childhood, Li Anlan had a fear of needles. Every time he got sick, he always refused to be examined by a doctor and rebelled when he was about to be injected. Even when immunized, parents or caregivers must spend hours persuading him.

The large needle reawakened his fear. Moreover, the needle that Tao Zhun was holding was quite large. If the needle were to pierce through his skin and flesh, the pain would definitely be overwhelming. It's a big lie if people say needle-pierced is like an ant bite. Neither syringes nor acupuncture needles make any difference, both sharp needles that can bully the skin.

Li Anlan reflexively kicked Tao Zhun's medical equipment to the ground. The contents of the medical box were a mess. In addition, Li Anlan also hit Tao Zhun's arm until the large acupuncture needle he was holding was thrown out of nowhere. Just turn away Tao Zhun was upset. His precious medical devices fell scattered and his proud needles disappeared.

Li Anlan who was lying down hurriedly got up. The dizziness on his head struck again, but not as bad as when in Hongwu Palace. Li Anlan immediately got off the bed to escape. Unexpectedly, his feet stepped on something sharp. Li Anlan screamed, finding that the tip of a needle had been pierced in the soles of her feet. Apparently, the acupuncture needle fell onto the floor of the bed side.

“Mistress, you better not mess up again!”

Tao Zhun seemed to be upset as well. He hurriedly locked the acupoints on Li Anlan's neck and shoulders until the woman's body could not move. Tao Zhun then summoned Xie Roulan to help lay down Li Anlan's body. Tao Zhun again began his treatment process. Before inserting the needle into the skin of his hand, Li Anlan was given a black pill to detoxify the poison.

“Mistress?”

“Send him to go!”

Li Anlan's room door hurriedly he locked. With a slow step, Li Anlan slowly walked towards the folding screen that was in the reading room, then hid behind him. He was sure Tao Zhun would still force his way in. So, before that happened, it was better for him to escape early.

“Mistress, I brought Your Majesty's order!” shouts Tao Zhun from the front porch of Xingyue Palace.

To hell with the king's orders, fuck anyone's orders! Li Anlan still would not open the door of his palace.

“Why don't you just check out your king? I saw him who was sick!”

On the front porch, Tao Zhun rubbed his chest. His patient this time was really naughty and stubborn. The poison in his body had not all come out yet, but he had instead dodged it and tried to prevent a great young healer like him from checking it out. Tao Zhun actually felt guilty because he had misdiagnosed and announced Li Anlan was dead the other day. This time, he had to make sure not to make any more mistakes. Tao Zhun will work hard to heal the wasted wife of his king.

Tao Zhun banged on the door of Xingyue Palace loudly. His medical kit suitcase was left a few feet away from his leg.

“Mistress, I don't bring needles!”

“I can't believe!”

“If you don't believe me, you can open the door and prove my point.”

“If I open the door, you'll lock me again!”

No, Li Anlan would not believe in Tao Zhun's wiles. The physician was as cunning as Long Ji Man. Although he carried the king's orders, Li Anlan still would not open the door. He will still hide behind the folding screen even though his body is a little unhealthy.

“Not going. I promise,” Tao Zhun said.

“I don't believe you!”

“I mean it, Madam,” shouted Tao Zhun no less loudly.

Tao Zhun did not want to lose. The young healer was uterus banging on the door to cause a commotion. Two eunuchs who happened to pass by witnessed the incident while chatting something. Xie Roulan then called out the two eunuchs, and told him to help Tao Zhun. As a result, the door of Xingyue Palace was pounded by three men.

“Mistress, let me check your pulse!”

“If you dare break down my palace door, I will kill myself! You shaman, you don't have a license! Your treatment technique is not up to WHO standards!”

Tao Zhun and the two eunuchs looked at each other. He then looked at Xie Roulan. The servant girl shook her head not knowing anything.

“What did he just call me a shaman?” tao Zhun asked the two eunuchs on his side. The two eunuchs nodded innocently.

Great also this one concubine, Tao Zhun thought.

During his career as an official royal physician, only this time did he come across a very strange and stubborn patient. People usually bow their heads and expect the touch of his miraculous hand in curing pain.

People even thought of him as a God Physician, who made himself high and special in the eyes of others, including in the eyes of the king and the entire royal family. But here, he wasn't even allowed to enter.

Xiao Biqi who had just arrived to convey the order was instantly shocked to see the palace healer standing at the door with the two eunuchs. He was also shocked when the debate between Tao Zhun and Li Anlan reached his ears. With a quick step, Xiao Biqi immediately walked over to the people who were arguing.

“Easim Bi, your king's wife made it difficult for me!”

Xiao Biqi was convinced that this was all Li Anlan's doing. The woman deliberately rejected Tao Zhun's arrival and held him in front of the door of Xingyue Palace.

“Concubine An, I brought the king's order!” yelled Xiao Biqi.

Meanwhile, behind the folding screen, Li Anlan was hugging her knees. Just like a child who is hiding when pursued by kidnappers. Xiao Biqi's shout did not affect him at all. Li Anlan was increasingly unwilling to open the door. Let Xiao Biqi and Tao Zhun wait for him outside.

“Sim Bi, I know you conspired with that shaman!”

Xiao Biqi looked at each other with Tao Zhun. The young eunuch then shook his head. This is not gonna work.

Until anytime, the owner of this palace will definitely not open the door. It was in vain that they had come all the way to this remote place. In the end, Xiao Biqi and Tao Zhun were simply a waste of time and manpower. Xiao Biqi and Tao Zhun then left Xingyue Palace.

As if knowing the two bullies were about to leave, Li Anlan immediately shouted from within,

“Talk to Your Majesty that he must compensate me!”

After that, he immediately came out of his hiding. Strange, his entire body suddenly felt as healthy as ever. His head no longer felt dizzy. His originally bad mood changed by three hundred and sixty degrees. Li Anlan unlocked the door of Xingyue Palace. His head was poking at the door that was slightly open.

“They've gone?”

The still loyal Xie Roulan stood in front of the terrace of the Palace. Xingyue nodded.

“Good.”

Li Anlan opened the door of his palace wide. Fresh air from the outside instantly entered, flying the pure oxygen-oxygen that helped Li Anlan's breathing until his chest cavity felt empty and light. He also opened the windows, so that the air was free to enter his small palace.

Li Anlan opened her P3K box, looking for something that could cure her fever symptoms. Meet me! Li Anlan took one caplet of paracetamol and amoxilin. The tip of the medicinal caplet plasti he torn, then he took out the contents. Two fever-relieving tablets he put into his mouth without drinking water. After that, he closed the P3K box again, then kept it in its original place.

“I told you, modern medicine is much more effective!”

Li Anlan laughed satisfiedly. Now, he would not be bothered by the Taoist physician Zhun anymore.
