Chapter 245
Shangguan Ziling went straight out of the palace and went to the inn where Zhuge Wan'er and the others stayed yesterday.
As soon as Shangguan Ziling entered the inn, she saw Zhuge Wan'er and Dongfang Piaoyi having breakfast in the inn lobby, and walked straight towards them.
When Zhuge Wan'er saw Shangguan Ziling, she immediately stood up and enthusiastically pulled her to sit down beside her, saying, "Sister Ziling, you're here! Come and sit down. Have you had breakfast? Let's eat together. I'll ask the waiter to bring some more breakfast."
Shangguan Ziling waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about me, you guys eat, I've already eaten."
Zhuge Wan'er said: "We have almost finished eating."
Dongfang Piaoyi also greeted her with a smile: "Little girl, thank you for yesterday."
Shangguan Ziling smiled slightly and said, "We are friends, don't be so formal."
Shangguan Ziling looked at Dongfang Piaoyi and said, "Have you finished eating? Come back to the room after you finish eating. I will give Dongfang Piaoyi acupuncture to check the poison in his body."
"Okay, okay, let's go, Sister Ziling," Zhuge Wan'er said, pulling Shangguan Ziling's sleeve.
They returned to the room. Shangguan Ziling asked Dongfang Piaoyi to sit on the chair and said, "Dongfang Piaoyi, take off your shirt." There was no hesitation in her words, as if this was a matter of course.
When Dongfang Piaoyi heard this, his body froze and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He said, "Little girl, this, this is not good!"
Shangguan Ziling jokingly said, "Dongfang Piaoyi, why are you, a grown man, being so shy like a woman? If you don't take off your clothes, how can I take blood from your heart? If I don't take blood from your heart, how can I check the poison in your body?"
Zhuge Wan'er also advised: "Hurry up! Sister Zi Ling doesn't want to see your body, she wants to treat your illness!"
Dongfang Piaoyi hesitated and said, "Little girl, can't I take blood from my hands? Do I have to take blood from my chest?"
Shangguan Ziling rolled her eyes at him and said, "Aren't you just talking nonsense?"
Dongfang Piaoyi was speechless. How could other women be like these two? He was the only one who was shy about his feelings. He made up his mind, took off his shirt, sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and tried to keep himself calm.
Zhuge Wan'er looked at Dongfang Piaoyi's muscular upper body, and her face turned red. She turned her head away, not daring to look again.
Shangguan Ziling took out a silver needle and stabbed him in the chest, blood gushed out. She quickly collected the blood into a porcelain bottle.
Shangguan Ziling said, "Okay, put on your clothes! When I get back, I will study the mixed poisons in your body and find out what they are so that I can detoxify you."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Piaoyi stood up and quickly put on his clothes.
Zhuge Wan'er listened to the rustling sound, opened her eyes slightly, walked forward, took Shangguan Ziling's hand, and walked to the side.
Zhuge Wan'er gossiped, "Sister Zi Ling, there was a flood in the southwest and Nanlin. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to provide disaster relief. Is that true?"
Shangguan Ziling nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes." There was not much expression on her face, but her heart was full of worries. She knew that the disaster in the southwest and Nanlin was serious and the people were suffering greatly.
When Zhuge Wan'er heard the news, a look of disdain appeared on her face: "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have the ability to provide disaster relief? I heard that in the southwestern area of Nanlin, floods washed away everything the people had. Some people had nothing to eat and had to eat tree roots and bark. Some people even exchanged their own children for food. There were also bandits robbing people in the surrounding areas. Alas! The people there are so pitiful." Her words were full of doubts about the Crown Prince's ability and sympathy for the people affected.
Shangguan Ziling frowned upon hearing this, she also doubted Jun Yaotian's ability. But the prince had already asked Jun Yaotian to go, and he would leave in two days, so it was something that could not be changed.
Zhuge Wan'er pulled Shangguan Ziling's sleeve and said, "Sister Ziling, let's not talk about these unhappy things. I haven't had a good time in the capital. Can you take me to the capital to have some fun?" There was a hint of coquettishness and expectation in her voice, which made Shangguan Ziling feel a little helpless and funny.
Shangguan Ziling thought about it, but she didn't know where to go for fun. She spread her hands and said, "I don't know where to go for fun either."
Zhuge Wan'er said, "I heard that the most famous Miao Huadan has come to the capital and stayed in Miaoyin Pavilion. He will be performing in the next few days. Sister Ziling, let's go to Miaoyin Pavilion to take a look." Her words revealed a kind of excitement and anticipation, which made Shangguan Ziling feel a little curious.
"Okay, let's go to Miaoyin Pavilion and take a look." Shangguan Ziling said. There was really nothing good to entertain herself in ancient times, so it would be nice to go and take a look, she thought to herself.
Dongfang Piaoyi put on his clothes and said after hearing what they said, "What's so good about opera? All this babbling..." His words revealed a kind of disdain and contempt.
Zhuge Wan'er turned around and glared at him, saying, "What do you know? Humph!"
Dongfang Piaoyi touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed and speechless.
Shangguan Ziling watched the two of them interacting, and felt a little amused. It seemed that Wan'er had already caught up with Dongfang Piaoyi? She was really happy for Wan'er.
A few people left the inn and came to Miaoyin Pavilion, where they saw it was crowded and bustling.
They found a seat and sat down, waiting for the show to begin.
A waiter served them tea, and they ordered some snacks and pastries, which were quickly brought up by the waiter.
Then they waited. Zhuge Wan'er took the cakes on the table and started eating. As she ate, she said, "To be honest with Sister Zi Ling, I have never heard of the opera sung by this Miao Hua Dan! I heard that his troupe has been traveling all over the country and has never stayed in one place for a long time!"
Shangguan Ziling was surprised and asked, "Is that so?"
Zhuge Wan'er looked at Shangguan Ziling's confused expression and said, "Sister Ziling, you haven't even heard of Miao Huadan's name, have you? The operas he sings are wonderful and the theaters are always full."
Shangguan Ziling shook her head, indicating that she really didn't know.
Zhuge Wan'er then told Shangguan Ziling about the rumors about Miao Huadan. Shangguan Ziling was amazed. It turned out that no matter in modern times or ancient times, there were always people chasing stars!
Soon, Miao Huadan came on stage to perform. His singing voice was gentle and melodious, and his performance was vivid and lifelike, which made people intoxicated.
As soon as Miao Huadan came on stage, the place instantly became quiet, with only Miao Huadan's melodious voice.
