Becoming the Empress: Golden Finger Set Under My Bed

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

When Hong Yu returned to the room, Ye Chengzhi and Bian Wen had already left. Silver and Zhao Xiaotao stayed at An Rushuang’s bedside, vigilantly staring at the woman in white.

Smiling, the woman still wore a delicate make-up in the evening, calling An Rushuang “sister”.

An Lingshan!

Leaning back against the pillow, An Rushuang looked tired with eyes closed. Obviously she did not want to talk with An Lingshan.

Being stared by them, An Lingshan was very clear of Rushuang’s attitude. So she said directly, “Sister, you suffered a lot these days. I’ve been to Five-altar Temple to ask for a talisman for sister, which can protect you from disasters and diseases.”

Saying so, the servant girl behind An Lingshan brought a piece of yellow paper to An Rushuang. Hong Yu took the paper and bowed to An Lingshan, “Thank you for your kindness. It’s late now. Miss An has just woken up and she needs rest. So if you have nothing to tell Miss An, please leave.”

An Rushuang still closed her eyes.

Nothing to tell her? How could it be nothing?

Looking at An Rushuang being so weak, An Lingshan couldn't help feeling excited. But when thinking that she had ruined her opportunity to the banquet, An Lingshang turned furious. Although she didn't go the Princess Mingxi’s banquet, there must be something exciting to happen tomorrow…

But it was better if An Rushuang couldn't recover soon.

Thinking so, An Lingshan said, “Sister, you look in low spirits. Sleeping too much could also be harmful. How about we have a talk…”

“No, I am good,” An Rushuang frowned. An Lingshan must have some wicked ideas.

“I…” When An Lingshan was about to saying something, she heard someone at the doorsteps.

“Rushuang has just woken up. Please leave here and let her rest, Lingshan,” said Lord An in a low and tired voice before he went in the room.

“Dad!” An Lingshan hurried to An Yipei.

Waving his hand, An Yipei looked exhausted, “Go away.”

Hearing this, An Lingshan couldn't help grinding her teeth, “All right! I’ll come to see sister tomorrow. Have a good rest!”

However, An Rushuang thought to herself, “Please do not come tomorrow and forever!”

After a while, when An Rushuang looked up, there was only An Yipei in the room. An Lingshan had left.

Slowly walking towards the bed, An Yipei stopped An Rushuang from getting up.

“Dad?” Looking at Lord An, An Rushuang said in confusion.

With slightly red eyes, An Yipei said in a hoarse voice, “No need to get up. You need rest.” 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Smiling, An Rushuang said, “It’s late now. What happened, dad? Hong Yu, prepare some tea.”

Hearing this, Hong Yu quickly replied a “Yes”.

“No, I’m ok. I’ll just stay for a while.”

Sitting at the bedside, An Yipei looked carefully at Rushuang and reached out to touch her hair. Seeing her pale face, An Yipei said in a low voice, “My good girl, it’s dad’s fault. I’m so sorry. Rushuang, I won’t stop you from doing anything in the future. I shoudn’t have…”

Saying so, An Yipei lowered his head and didn't know what to say in front of his injured daughter.

Holding his hand, An Rushuang shook, “No, dad, it’s not your fault. I was too impulsive…” She took a deep sigh.

“If I have a skill, I won’t be like this.”

A skill?

Hearing this, An Yipei was stunned. He suddenly thought of An Rushuang’s words previously, “Dad, I want to learn martial arts and medical knowledge!”

He didn't pay too much attention to her request. But it was a good idea.

Thinking so, An Yipei said, “Fine. I’ll ask Master Wan to teach you. I can also be assured when you go out in the future.”

To her surprise, An Rushuang asked, “Master Wan? Which Master Wan?”

She heard of Master Wan. But he lived in Mohe city. Master Wan was exceptionally skilful in martial arts. He once taught Rushuang’s elder brother. But how could he leave Mohe and come here?

Seeing Rushuang’s bright eyes, An Yipei couldn't help smiling, “It’s normal for you not to remember him. He was your brother’s teacher. You were little at that time.”

It was really that Master Wan!

Hearing this, An Rushuang was so excited, but she didn't dare to show any emotions. So she leaned towards An Yipei and said obediently, “Dad, it’s all up to you. I’ll certainly work hard.”

Smiling, An Yipei gently touched her hair, “No need to push yourself. I do not expect you to be a master. You just need to learn several tricks to protect yourself. You can learn with Lingshan together, so you two will know more about each other.” free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

Hearing this, An Rushuang looked at him blankly before she worked out a smile and answered slowly, “Ok.”

To An Yipei, An Rushuang and An Lingshan were both his lovely daughters.

He would never expect one of his daughter would betray him and indifferently watched others kill him.

On the next morning, against the gentle morning light, An Rushuang began to get busy.

Lu Mingyue and Gu Xianxian hurried to the An Family before they sent the visiting card. Hong Yu said when they arrived, the gate of An Family didn't open.

After a while Princess Anyang sent her visiting card to the An Family. Soon after around 15 minutes, Princess Anyang also arrived.

Looking around, Princess Anyang entered the room and took off her cloak, leaving it to the servant girl, “You’re all here.”

Seeing her, Lu Mingyue and Gu Xianxian hurried to pay a respect, “Greetings, Princess Anyang.”

Princess Anyang quickly stopped them, “No need to pay respect. We’re friends.”

Looking at each other, they smiled and stood up.

Saying so, Princess Anyang went to the bedside and looked at An Rushuang who was still pale.

“I see you as my sisters. There’s no need for those boring etiquette and empty formalities. How are you now? Does it hurt?”

An Rushuang shook her head and smiled, “I’m fine.”

That’s true. Although she had a headache and was weak yesterday, she felt much better now. Her head didn't hurt anymore, but she was still weak; so she had to sit in bed.

Nodding her head, Princess Anyang said, “Perfect. I bet you have no idea about the chaos in the capital during the past three days when you lied in bed.”
