Quick Transmigration: Face Slapping The Second Female Lead - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Hunting down the Exiled Princess (12)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Because of the wound, Xia Liang couldn’t bend over. She accepted his tenderness as granted. She didn’t feel guilty or what at all.

Feeling sweet or attracted?

Excuse me! It never happened to her.

Xia Liang wore an emotionless face when Bai Yao put on the shoes and socks for her and then carried her in his arms to the dinner table in the lobby!

She was taken care of like she was a terrible cripple or a three-year-old kid!

Not a single person was there in the lobby. On a large round table there were a dozen of exquisite delicacies smelling inviting.

As what was mentioned before, Bai Yao still didn’t want anyone else to look after Xia Liang. So he sent all the maids and servants away, because he didn’t want them to be an eyesore here.

After getting seated at the table, Bai Yao didn’t let her go. He put Xia Liang on his lap and his hand carefully holding her without touching the wound on her back. He asked her gently,

“This medicinal porridge is specially made for you. It is good for your health. Would you like to try it?”

“Hm.” Xia Liang nodded slightly.

It must be Su Mei who made the medicinal porridge. She really wanted to try it.

Bai Yao then filled a bowl with the porridge for her, scooped a spoonful of it and blew it to an acceptable warmth before feeding her.

At the moment she ate the porridge, Xia Liang’s face went cold. She frowned subconsciously.

Someone put poison in it!

Xia Liang once was a doctor in her previous life. She had learned both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. That was why she had the skills of medicine!

Although her medical skills was now only basic on the skill bar, it was enough for her to distinguish any toxic matter, that was why she could tell the toxicity in the porridge as soon she ate it!

She was surprised by Su Mei’s quick action. She could poison her even at the first time they’d ever met!

Tasting the porridge in the mouth carefully, Xia Liang found out a few kinds of chronic poison made from poisonous grasses. She didn’t know which was which, but could guess the nature of the poison!

It was obscure and very difficult to be tested with normal ways like using  a silver needle. It rotted human body slowly and finally destroyed the organs without anyone noticing!

However, it slowly weakened human body day by day and finally wore out human body as if one was seriously ill. In the end, no medicine could cure it!

Now Su Mei chose to poison her when she was still recovering from a serious injury. Even if she became weak in the future, others may think it would be a side effect of her injury. No one could ever think it was poison.

Besides, no one would think someone dare to poison her under the General’s nose. After all, his food was tested by professionals. Even Bai Yao himself couldn’t believe it.

Xia Liang narrowed her eyes and thought to herself that Su Mei was really vicious.

No wonder she could kill the male lead as the second female lead. She was both crafty and ruthless!

9957 said angrily,

“This woman is so heartless! Liang, we should tell Bai Yao that the porridge is toxic so that he’ll kill Su Mei! He has given all his heart to you. He will listen to you!”

Xia Liang shook her head, “It is too risky. At least we should get to know her spiritual space.”

Forget about Bai Yao. Xia Liang used to get everything under her own control. A bowl of medicinal porridge was not persuasive enough!

If the poison is too obscure to be tested out by people in this world, and she had no other solid evidence, in addition to a slow process before the poison took effective, she might already be struggling with Su Mei’s trap!

Besides, Su Mei had the Spiritual Spring Space which could help her escape if she couldn’t kill her at one shot. In that case, it would create bigger trouble.

If she could get rid of Su Mei’s Space, Su Mei would have nowhere to run when the time came to kill her!

Although she knew the plot of the whole story, she couldn’t get much information about the second female lead. All she knew was that she had Spiritual Spring Space. She had no idea what kind of form her Space was. It could be a jade, or a bracelet, or something else.

That’s why Xia Liang said so.

“What’s wrong? You don’t like it?” Bai Yao asked as he could tell something wrong because she didn’t swallow the porridge.

He picked up the spoon and wanted to taste it himself.

Xia Liang was intimidated by his action. She swallowed the porridge and stopped Bai Yao,” Don’t eat it.”

9957 shouted in her mind,” Liang, why did you swallow it?!”

“I am fine.” Xia Liang said.

This small spoonful of porridge was no harm to her.

“Huh?” Bai Yao felt her look was different and asked seriously, “Is there anything wrong with the porridge?”

“Not very tasty. You shouldn’t eat it either.” Xia Liang nodded.

Bai Yao forced a smile but still felt something not right because he didn’t think Xia Liang cared very much about how it tasted. She must be playing the woman to him in this way.

Bai Yao imagined wildly for a while and got excited little turned on.

Xia Liang asked,” Who made it? I want to see her.”

“Why do you want to see her? If you don’t like it, I will send her away.” Bai Yao said.

“We should give her another chance.” Xia Liang looked at him and said flatly.

“Ha ha… Well, I’ll send her here now.” Bai Yao finally could not help but chuckle and held her in his arms tightly. She said expressionlessly though, his heart was beating fast because of her.

She was extremely lovable!

When Su Mei arrived, the general was serving Xia Liang to eat some food and he was quite enjoying it.

He was so focused, so full of love, as if the girl in his arm was the only one in his world.

Su Mei was jealous crazily on seeing this scene even though she hated Bai Yao to the bones.

There was no other reason. In her eyes, Bai Yao was hers. Even his tenderness was hers too.

“Su Mei at your service, General.” Su Mei gritted her teeth, took a deep breath before she said those words softly.

“Em.” Bai Yao noted and then whispered by Xia Liang’s ear, “She is here. What are you going to do with her?”

Feeling his hot breath by her ears, she got blushed. Bai Yao smiled satisfactorily by her response.

Slightly turning her head to avoid his intimacy, Xia Liang squinted at him and thought to herself, “Why are you talking to me so closely? You don’t want Su Mei to hear you?”

But was there anything to hide?

Xia Liang couldn’t figure out why. So she just let it be. Then she said to Su Mei, “You! Eat this bowl of porridge, and then make a new one.”

Su Mei was startled to look up and looked right into Xia Liang’s clear eyes.

In an instant, Su Mei felt a chill running all over her body. She felt like her plan had been busted!
