Empress Running Away With The Ball

ch. 113-114

Chapter 113: Acting out a play

Chen Bi Yun spoke with a low voice that contained deep concern. There was not the slightest bit of hatred contained within at all.

But she only came within three feet of the bed and did not move closer.

If the opposite side really had a cold, she was afraid of catching it, so how could she get close?

Hypocritical!

When Xiao Ru saw this, she viciously insulted her with this in her mind.

She remembered Chen Ning's instructions and cried as she said, "Young miss can't hold on much longer, she keeps coughing! She's already spat out a large amount of blood! Those water bowls have all been turned red with the young miss' blood."

She pointed at the water bowls in front of the bed.

Chen Bi Yun looked over and saw that the water in the bowls had all been turned blood red.

"Second miss, you are the concubine consort and his highness loves you the most. His highness will definitely listen to what you say, if you ask for forgiveness for the young miss from his highness and ask him to send a doctor to come cure the young miss. The young miss is your blood sister, you must help the young miss ask for forgiveness. I beg you second miss." Xiao Ru cried as she used her sleeves to wipe her eyes. Her eyes were completely red and swollen like peaches.

Seeing Xiao Ru act like this, the doubt in Chen Bi Yun's heart had completely disappeared.

She knew that Xiao Ru had always been an honest girl, so she completely believed what she said.

"Alright, I'll go talk to his highness immediately to beg for forgiveness for elder sister and to ask his highness to send a doctor for elder sister."

Chen Bi Yun made this empty promise and then quickly turned to leave.

Seeing how sick Chen Ning was, she did not dare to stay here any longer.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chen Ning would suddenly cough twice and roll over.

"Is that little sister Yun'er?" She said in a weak voice. She then covered her mouth and gave a low cough.

Chen Bi Yun suddenly stopped moving and began cursing in her heart.

Dammit, this cheap woman's timing is truly good. Why did she have to wake up now?

She could only turn her head and reveal a pleasantly surprised expression, "Elder sister, you're awake? Little sister has been worried to death about you. Little sister is about to ask for forgiveness from his highness and ask him to send a doctor here to cure you."

Ze, ze, isn't your acting a little too exaggerated? If she was in the modern age, no one would hire her even as a part timer!

Chen Ning could not understand how the original owner could be fooled by this girl who could not act at all and had continued to treat her as a kind little sister. From the bottom of her heart, she was finally convinced that she had to send this good little sister into the yellow springs.

[TL Note: Yellow spring is the chinese equivalent of hell]

Chen Bi Yun could act, but she could also act. She really wanted to see who had better acting skills.

"It is all because elder sister is not good. I have a strong temper and angered his highness, that is why I'm in my current situation. It is rare for little sister to visit, so elder sister is very grateful......Ke, ke, ke......Ke, ke, ke......."

Chen Ning did not finish speaking before she suddenly bent over and began to cough.

Xiao Ru quickly went forward to pat her back.

Chen Bi Yun couldn't help revealing a look of disgust. Seeing how bad her cough was, she was afraid that it wasn't a cold, but rather it was tuberculosis!

She did not want to stay here any longer. She was just thinking about leaving this place.

Chen Ning had already completely read her expression and her mind. The more you want to leave, the more you will be unable to leave.

She suddenly lowered her head and gave a large cough. A piece of phlegm flew out and perfectly landed on Chen Bi Yun's skirt.

"Ah!" Chen Bi Yun immediately let out a scream and her face turned pale. It did not seem like Chen Ning's phlegm had landed on her and rather seemed like she had been bitten by a poisoned snake.

"I'm.....I'm sorry. Ke, ke, it's all elder sister's fault. I've dirtied little sister's skirt, ke, ke....."

Chen Ning continued to cough with the potential to spit out again. Chen Bi Yun quickly moved back three steps in fear.

Chapter 114: Putting on airs

This time Chen Ning did not spit out phlegm, but rather a mouthful of blood. It fell onto the ground and was glaringly red.

"Little sister, don't be fooled. Elder sister has contracted tuberculosis so there is no need for your to beg his highness to send a doctor. Even if an immortal descended to earth, they would have no way of curing my disease." Chen Ning finally stopped coughing and wiped the blood of her lips as she spoke with a long sigh.

Her face was pale and she was out of breath. It seemed like she would die at any moment.

"What! It really is tuberculosis!" Chen Bi Yun's eyes suddenly popped out.

"Little sister, elder sister knows you are very kind. Once elder sister caught tuberculosis, no one dared to come visit me. Only you cared did because you cared about our sisterly love......Ke, ke, ke!" Chen Ning didn't even finish speaking before she started coughing again.

Chen Bi Yun quickly moved back a few steps and used her sleeve to cover her mouth and nose.

She really hated herself at this moment. Why did she not listen to Lan Xiang's advice and chose to see this sick ghost with tuberculosis. She had her skirt dirtied by having phlegm spat onto it.

She stared at the phlegm on her skirt and was suddenly filled with disgust. With an "ou" sound, she almost threw up.

"Elder sister, little sister is feeling unwell so I won't be staying any longer. These are the presents that his highness has given little sister and little sister is now giving to you. I hope that elder sister will get better soon. Little sister will be leaving first."

Chen Bi Yun quickly said these words and then gestured to Lan Xiang to bring over the gifts. She quickly turned around and left with hurried steps like there was a tiger chasing behind her.

When she reached the door, she almost tripped on the threshold, but it was a good thing that Lan Xiang reached out in time. Still, it caused her to break out in a cold sweat.

Chen Ning secretly laughed and then she added oil to the fire by saying, "Little sister, that phlegm on your skirt.......You have to wash it off, otherwise.....It is very easy to catch tuberculosis just like your elder sister......Ke, ke......"

Chen Bi Yun's body stiffened and felt like her pink dress embroidered with peonies was covered in caterpillars. She felt very uncomfortable wearing this and really wanted to change out of it immediately.

"It was elder sister that dirtied little sister's dress, so how about little sister take it off and let Xiao Ru was it for you. If you don't mind, how about you wear one of elder sister's dress for now? Chen Ning then said.

"No.....No need." Chen Bi Yun stiffly said. She did not even look back as she moved to the courtyard in a single breath. Then she anxiously took off the dress and angrily threw it onto the ground.

Her heart filled with hate as she turned to look back at the run down courtyard. The angry flames burning in her eyes was almost sent out.

Cheap person! Damnable cheap person!

She actually dirtied her favourite skirt!

She remembered the first time she wore this pink peony skirt, Chu Shao Yang's eyes continued to stare at her. The flames of passion in his eyes almost melted her.

She deliberately wore this dress and wanted to show off in front of Chen Ning. She wanted to show how well his highness treated her and anger the other side to death.

But all her planning was completely wasted.

Without even a chance to show off, Chen Ning had spat out a mouthful of phlegm onto her dress.

Chen Bi Yun was so angry that she almost gritted her teeth together.

Chen Ning, I curse you to die in a terrible manner!

She angrily made this oath in her head. Then she began to think of Chen Ning's weak state and how she continued to spit out blood. Thinking that she would not live past tonight, she felt her mood increase by a bit.

Perhaps, she would get some good news tomorrow.

But.....What if this cheap girl has a strong will to live and doesn't die?

Chen Bi Yun turned around and her eyes fell onto the pink skirt on the ground. An idea formed in her head and she revealed a sinister smile.
