Chapter 153 Meeting the Palace Commander at Night

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Qi Yutai suddenly sat up from the low couch, his face covered with cold sweat.

 The room was silent, and the air seemed to be filled with the lingering fragrance of spiritual fragrance.

　　A concerned voice came from my ear: "Are you okay, sir?"

He raised his head and saw a strange woman standing not far from the low couch. When she saw him waking up, she reached out her hand to reach his wrist while talking.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　』

Qi Yutai pushed the person in front of him away and said sternly: "Who are you?"

In extreme shock, he forgot for a moment that he was in Si Li's Mansion, and spoke in a ferocious and irritable tone. The other party looked at him in astonishment, seeming a little aggrieved, pursed his lips and said nothing, and took a few steps back silently.

However, Jin Xianrong, who was standing behind the woman, came out, coughed slightly, and took the initiative to smooth things over: "Yutai, this is Medical Officer Lu from the Hanlin Medical Officer's Hospital. I asked her to come and see if you were sick because I woke you up just now." .”

Medical officer?

Qi Yutai was stunned for a moment.

The voice of the person in the dream seemed to still be lingering in his ears. He couldn't remember the voice clearly, but it was vaguely a woman. She was reminding and questioning in his ears, exploring the facts of the murder that night in Fengle Tower, like a sinister figure coming for revenge. Female ghost.

 Sends a chill down the spine.

He looked at the strange woman at the door with a somewhat doubtful expression: "What happened just now? Why are you here? Where is the person who spoke to me just now?"

"Who is speaking?" Jin Xianrong looked around, "No, you were the only one in this room just now."

 “Am I the only one here?”

"Yes, Medical Officer Lu is busy giving me acupuncture and medicine. I wanted to ask you if you need Medical Officer Lu to check on you and see how your cold is getting better. As soon as you entered the room, you lay on the table and couldn't wake up even if you screamed. It scared me. For a moment, I thought something had happened to you."

Jin Xianrong looked at Qi Yutai's face: "Yutai, did you just dream? Is it because you haven't recovered from the cold yet and you are not in good spirits? Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with Hu Bu. If you are still sick, just You need to rest for a few more days in the mansion, otherwise if something happens, the Grand Master will blame you, and I won’t be able to explain it to you, brother..."

 He said to himself, Qi Yutai was still in a daze.

 Just now... was it a dream?

 But the man's voice was so clear, as if he was chanting into his ear.

He raised his head and looked at the young woman standing by the door, and then he noticed that she was wearing the blue robe of a new medical officer.

 It is true that the medical officer is correct.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked the female medical officer: "Did you not enter this room just now?"

The woman shook her head: "Xiaguan has been in the hall just now making medicine for Lord Jin."

Jin Xianrong nodded: "Medical officer Lu is busy making medicine and has to go back to the medical hospital." He looked Qi Yutai up and down again, and suddenly smiled: "What kind of dream did Yutai have?"

The other party was so sure that Jin Xianrong had no need to lie to him, so Qi Yutai became a little unsure. Maybe it was really a dream he had.

It’s just that this dream is too real.

Jin Xianrong took two steps forward and saw that the hem of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't help but advise: "Yutai, your face doesn't look good. Why don't you let Medical Officer Lu take a pulse for you? Well, I might as well go back home and take care of myself."

 Jin Xianrong turned around and said to the woman: "Medical Officer Lu, could you please show Mr. Qi a look."

  Women say yes.

Qi Yutai was sitting on the low couch, and it was at this moment that he suddenly realized that Jin Xianrong's attitude towards this woman was too polite. This man has always been lecherous, and whenever he sees a woman who is attractive enough, he will go up and tease her. Qi Yutai has long been accustomed to this. This woman was born beautiful, but Jin Xianrong's words to her were not disrespectful in the slightest, and she seemed to be a completely different person.

Jin Xianrong's dog can't change its habit of eating shit. Could it be that this woman has another identity?

Just as he was thinking about it, the woman had walked up to him and felt his pulse with her fingertips.

 Qi Yutai suddenly shivered.

The female medical officer's fingers were cold, as cold as ice, and the place she touched seemed to be frozen by ice, becoming stiffer and stiffer, exuding a dead silence like dry water.

 The opposite is her face.

 She was born very beautiful, with a slender head and delicate eyebrows. The ears hidden by the temples are as white as jade, making the face even more charming.

The beauty lowered her head and placed her fingertips on his pulse. When she concentrated on feeling his pulse, her long eyelashes drooped like butterfly wings. He was used to seeing beautiful people and couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

 When did such a beauty come to the hospital?

Just as he was making some moves, the doctor woman suddenly withdrew her hand and stood up.

“Medical Officer Lu, how are you doing?” Jin Xianrong asked.

 The woman frowned slightly, looking a little strange.

Seeing her like this, Qi Yutai's heart froze, and then his reverie disappeared, and he asked hurriedly: "Is she sick?"

 The woman shook her head: "Master Qi's health is not serious, it's just..."

 “Just what?”

 “It’s just excessive blood heat that leads to emotional imbalance.”

She looked at Qi Yutai and said slowly: "Master Qi's pulse is rapid and strong, his tongue is red and dry, and he also has symptoms of fever and thirst. It is caused by excessive blood heat. I will prescribe a few blood-clearing and detoxifying prescriptions." Just let it go. As for emotional disorders..."

She got up, walked to the desk behind the screen, picked up the gilt double moth-pattern incense burner on the desk, and opened the lid of the incense burner.

The incense burner was empty, and the incense burnt out. She poured out the ashes, walked to the window, and threw them into the muddy water on the flower tree under the window.

“Medical officer, what are you doing...” Qi Yutai was puzzled.

“Master Qi, is this Lingxixiang?”

“Yes.” Qi Yutai replied. Their family has used this kind of fragrant pills since childhood. The fragrant pills are so valuable and fragrant that they cannot be bought anywhere else.

The female medical officer smiled slightly: "Lingxi incense calms the mind and can relieve insomnia. However, long-term use of this incense will inevitably lead to dependence. If used for a long time, it will be counterproductive."

“Master Qi, you might as well try to use this incense less sometimes to avoid becoming addicted and harming your health.”

 Qi Yutai was stunned.

 Addiction…

He has used this incense since he was a child. He has never used other incense in his house because it was arranged by his father. Over the years, it is indeed easy to become addicted.

My father was afraid that he would be addicted to taking Hanshi Powder and harm his health. The funny thing is that Lingxixiang was the same.

After the female medical officer finished speaking, she bowed to the two of them and left the room. Jin Xianrong hurriedly followed him out, not knowing what he was asking.

Qi Yutai leaned on the pillow on the low couch and felt that his whole body was soaked. It was unlucky to have such a nightmare in the clear day. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stroked his temples with his fingertips. Ants crawled across.

 Itching and pain like pins and needles.

 …

After giving Jin Xianrong today's acupuncture and leaving the dressing behind, Lu Zhuo returned to the Medical Officer's Hospital carrying the medical box.

I came back early today. There were not many people in the hospital, and Lin Danqing was not in the house either.

 She put the medical kit on the table and reached out to open the window.

 The bluestone slabs in the courtyard were washed clean by last night's rain. After the rain, the fresh vegetation mixed with the muddy smell dissipated the tranquility that had just been fragrant.

The April wind was not supposed to be chilly, but when it blew softly, Lu Chen suddenly shivered and felt a little chilly.

 She sat down in front of the window.

A lush sophora tree branch stretched out from the window. Lu Yan's eyes fell on the flower branch, and he stretched out his fingertips to gently touch it. The small branches and leaves trembled slightly, which reminded people of the silver needle touching the warm blood on the skin. The goosebumps that suddenly rose up seemed to be able to touch the gurgling blood inside. With just a slight prick, it would spurt out in all directions.

 It’s a pity that it was interrupted.

 She took back her hand, looking a little regretful.

She mixed red fragrant catkins into the Lingxi incense, which made Qi Yutai unable to distinguish between dreams and reality. She also made Jin Xianrong fall asleep while giving Jin Xianrong acupuncture, making Jin Xianrong think that he had never left the medicine-making front hall from beginning to end.

There are very few people in the Household Department, and Qi Yutai doesn't like others to follow him. Jin Xianrong is even more afraid that one more person will know that he is weak in Yang and blood, and the empty Si Li Mansion will be an advantage for her.

 Qi Yutai revealed everything in her dream. At that time, her silver needle had been pressed against the other person's temple. At that time, she really wanted to kill him.

 Just a few inches away from killing him.

It’s a pity that Jin Xianrong’s boy came back with the medicine.

 Lu Zong lowered his eyes indifferently.

If she had killed Qi Yutai at that time, she would have died naturally. She didn't regret her life, and she had no intention of keeping it. However, she cared more about the other two words coming out of Qi Yutai's mouth than this.

 Take powder.

“…I just don’t want my father to know that I’m taking Powder…”

 At that time, Qi Yutai said so.

 Lu Tong slowly sat down at the table.

During the lifetime of the late emperor, there was a trend of taking cold food powder among the nobles of the Liang Dynasty. Later, a law was issued to prohibit it. Violators would be guilty of a felony. This law continues to this day.

If Qi Yutai sent his servants away to prevent Qi Qing from knowing that he had surrendered privately, it would also explain why Lu Rou did not meet Qi family guards to stop her in Fengle Tower that day and bumped into Qi Yutai.

Lu Rou may have stumbled upon this incident and wanted to inform Lu Qian about it, but was murdered by the Ke family. However, the letter left behind, recording that Qi Yutai took the medicine powder, became ironclad evidence that Lu Qian chose to sue the government.

 Actually, their ideas are not wrong.

Only relying on the case of Lu Rou's corruption, it may be difficult to overturn the Taishi Mansion - the innocence of an ordinary woman is too insignificant.

What's more, there are Ke family ghosts who are obstructing it.

  However, it is different when taking medicinal powder.

Taking cold food powder in private is a serious crime. Once it is revealed, it will be very difficult for the Taishi Mansion to do anything good. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can also achieve your goal.

It's just that Lu Qian didn't expect that Mr. Qingtian was not honest, and that his cousin Liu Kun and his family would use him as a weight in exchange for wealth and make a **** deal with Fan Zhenglian.

 All the disasters in the Lu family were caused by Qi Yutai secretly taking the medicine powder. What's more, the reason why Qi Yutai ordered Fan Zhenglian to kill the Lu family was just because he was afraid that Qi Qing would find out about taking the cold food powder and punish him and kill him.

I see.

 It turns out that the truth is so absurdly simple.

The green and furry spring breeze in front of the window reflected the woman's face, which was neither sad nor happy. After a long time, Lu Zhu reached out, took the pen and paper on the table, and wrote the word "Qi" on the white paper with the pen.

She stared at the word "Qi" for a long time.

Qi Qingtong had only one son and one daughter. Everyone said that the imperial master was simple and frugal, but the utensils and clothes used by Qi Yutai were gorgeous and extravagant. It can be seen that Qi Qing's "love for his son".

Although the Lu family incident was started by Qi Yutai, in the end, the corpses were destroyed and all traces were wiped out, and Qi Yutai was put in place. It may not have been without the work of Qi Qing and the Taishi's family.

 Killing Qi Yutai, the Taishi Mansion will never let it go.

But now she is just a small medical officer, not even as good as an imperial doctor. After today, Qi Yutai will only be more vigilant, and opportunities like during the day are even rarer, and it is difficult to find another opportunity to take action.

Lu Zhu lowered his head and drew a few strokes on the word "Qi" on the white paper. As soon as the dark ink passed across the paper, the square word was smeared into a thick black shadow, like blood without color, dripping. The ground dripped all over.

  The traces can no longer be discerned.

 She put down her pen.

Taishi Qizheng, the medical officer was beyond, and one person to one person, the dream of dreaming.

but…

 The straight will accumulate in the crooked, and the strong will accumulate in the weak. What the future holds is yet to be determined.

Qi Qing wants to protect him, so he should get rid of Qi Qing as well.

The birds of prey are about to strike, and they fly lowly and fold their wings.

 One by one, the opportunity will always be found.

　　It’s just morning and evening.

There were footsteps behind him. Lin Danqing came in from outside the house and was startled when he saw Lu Chen: "Hey, you came back early today."

 Then he saw Lu Shun spread out on the table, with a piece of black paper drawn on it: "What is written on this?"

Lu Zhuo casually tore off the ink paper, rolled it into a ball and threw it into the waste paper basket, saying: "Practice calligraphy as you like."

Lin Danqing didn't pay attention, and put a large package of things wrapped in oil paper in his arms on the table, and said with a smile: "You came back just in time. The marrow cakes I asked people to buy from outside are still warm. You can try them." ” ˆ ˆ The food in the hospital is light, but Lin Danqing loves spicy food as much as his life. He never likes to eat it, so he often sends people to buy it secretly in the market. Chang Jin was not allowed to eat secretly in the hospital, so Lin Danqing had no choice but to hide it in his arms and sneak it in behind Chang Jin's back.

She opened the oil paper bag, put the oil paper on the bottom, and gave a piece to Lu Zhuo.

　　The steaming aroma suddenly spread all over the room.

Marrow cake is a cake stuffed with fat made from the marrow of cattle and sheep. "Mix marrow fat and honey into dough, four to five minutes thick and six to seven inches wide. Place it in a cake oven and let it cook until the cake is plump."

"Have a try," Lin Danqing urged her: "The food in the Medical Officer's Hospital is not as good as the vegetarian food in Wan'en Temple. After eating it for so many months, I feel like I will become a Buddha immediately. But you don't choose."

Lu Zhen has never been particular about eating, as if what he eats and drinks is not important as long as he can stay alive.

Lu Zhen lowered his head and took a bite of the cake. The filling was very fragrant and hot. His empty stomach seemed to gradually become warm and full because of this little benefit in the world.

She ate slowly, took a few bites, and suddenly said, "I met Mr. Qi at Si Li's Mansion today."

“Master Qi, which Master Qi?”

 “The young master of Taishi Mansion, Qi Yutai.”

Lin Danqing paused while biting the pancake: "He? What's wrong with him?"

Lu Huo shook his head: "He is a little strange."

 “What’s strange?”

"I went to give Mr. Jin a consultation. Mr. Qi fell asleep after entering the room. Later, Mr. Jin woke Mr. Qi up and wanted me to take his pulse. Who knew that when he saw me, he was like a snake and a scorpion. He talked some lies and was not very conscious. It's clear." Lu Yan hesitated, and after a moment of hesitation he said: "I took his pulse and saw that his pulse was fast and strong, and his blood was very hot and unusually high...it seemed like...like..."

 After a long time, she stared at Lin Danqing and whispered: "It seems to be caused by taking Hanshi Powder for a long time."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Lin Danqing swallowed the marrow cake in his mouth in a few gulps, turned to look out the window, and raised his hand to close the window door.

"Sister Lu," she picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of **** honey water for Lu Zhen, and whispered to her, "You can say this in front of me, but you can't say it outside."

 Lu Zong stared at her.

Lin Danqing waved his hand: "The late emperor has an order. Once the officials in the court find someone taking Hanshi Powder, they will be severely punished. I know that some nobles will take it secretly behind people's backs, but isn't he a prince? You know you are out there Said, I must cause trouble for you."

Lu Zhen nodded thoughtfully: "Is the Grand Master very difficult to mess with?"

"It's not that it's not easy to mess with, how should I put it?" Lin Danqing took a sip of the **** honey water and considered his words, "I grew up in Shengjing City, and I have heard countless embarrassing things about the children of noble families. Don't look at them. They all look good, and I have seen all kinds of shameful things in private, but this Mr. Qi is different..."

Lin Danqing held his chin in his hand and thought about it before saying, "I've never heard anything bad about him."

“When the elders in Shengjing mentioned this person, they all said he was well-behaved and sensible, taught the rules extremely well, never made a single mistake, and was gentle and observant. He should be a role model for the younger generation.”

Lin Danqing shook his head: "I don't like him."

 Lu Huan asked: "Why don't you like it?"

Lin Danqing's eyes widened: "Sister Lu, isn't it a terrible thing for a person to have no other strengths and only be widely known as 'rules'?"

"It's like a puppet in a puppet show. You don't know what he likes and what he hates. He is being controlled by others in every move, and yet others ask you to imitate him in being smart and sensible. It makes you tired just thinking about it. Let me tell you secretly," Lin Danqing He leaned closer to Lu Chen and whispered, "I know that the officials' sons in Shengjing are talking about him behind his back, saying that he is a 'fake'."

 Dummy?

Lu Zhen thought for a moment, these words were harsh but true.

You must know that when she first saw Qi Yutai's true appearance today, it was hard for her to imagine that that man who looked ordinary, even a little cowardly, was the murderer of four members of her Lu family.

“So,” Lin Danqing lit the table and tried to persuade Lu Yan, “Don’t say too much out of your kindness, just stay away from him.”

Lu Zong nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of **** honey water.

Honey water is sweet, boiled **** can drive away cold, and it is best to drink it in this weather. Lu Chen drank up the honey water in the cup, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said, "But I have to conduct a consultation for Minister Jin. In the future, I will go to Si Li Mansion frequently, so I will inevitably meet Mr. Qi." She looked at Lin Danqing, "Did you know Mr. Qi, if you have any other taboos, can you tell me all of them, so that I won’t offend him without knowing it.”

Hearing this, Lin Danqing held the marrow cake and thought for a while, "To be honest, I'm not very familiar with him, and I heard a lot of things from others. But I've never heard of Qi Yutai bullying others before. Speaking of taboos…”

She racked her brains for a long time and suddenly said: "I only know that this man hates blackbirds. Just don't mention it in front of him."

 Lu Zhen's heart moved: "Thrush?"

"Yeah, it's strange to say it," Lin Danqing said: "Master Qi loved to raise birds. I remember that every year on the Master's birthday, there were many officials searching for famous birds and sending them to the Master's Mansion. It must have been a few years ago. The Grand Master's Mansion suddenly released all the birds in the mansion, saying it was because Mr. Qi hated birds."

Lu Zhen asked: "Why does he hate birds?"

Lin Danqing shrugged: "I don't know."

Lu Zhen's expression was slightly restrained.

Lin Danqing, on the other hand, finally came to his senses at this time and said suspiciously: "By the way, why do you keep asking me about Qi Yutai today? This is not your temperament."

Lu Zhen was indifferent to other things except reading and making medicine in the medical hospital on weekdays. This was the first time that he asked so many questions about things that had nothing to do with making medicine.

Lin Danqing came closer, stared into her eyes and said slowly: "Could it be that you..."

 Lu Zhen’s fingertips moved slightly.

  “...are you interested in him?”

 Lu Huan: “…”

"This is not okay!" Lin Danqing was shocked and shook her shoulders, "No matter what his character is, his appearance is really ordinary. He is not worthy of you. Sister Lu, you must be sober!"

 Lu Zhen was so dizzy by her shaking that he could only say: "I didn't..."

 “I don’t believe it, you swear!”

"I swear…"

Lin Danqing was just like seeing a lost girl who was about to jump into a pit of fire. She was extremely sad and heartbroken. She didn't give up until Lu Zhuo and her repeatedly promised that they would never have any thoughts about Qi Yutai.

She sat back down again, picked up the leftover marrow cake and stuffed it into her mouth. She randomly pinched an orchid finger with her right hand and said, "Anyway, let me count my fingers. Sister Lu, your destiny is not here. That Qi Yutai is not a good man, so we should stop thinking about him as soon as possible."

 Lu Huan: “…”

She was a little funny, but after being interrupted by Lin Danqing, her depressed mood disappeared.

Lu Zhen lowered his head and looked at the white paper on the table, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.

 Hanshi Powder, Lingxixiang, Huamei...

Qi Yutai's secret seems to be even weirder than others imagined.

 …

Because he came back early during the day and there was nothing else to do in the medical hospital, Lu Zhuo went to bed earlier than usual.

 At night, Lin Danqing read medical books with her for a while, then went to bed and fell asleep. The hospital was quiet.

The moonlight shone in from the window and illuminated the table. Lu Zhuo sat up from the couch, threw on a coat, picked up the lamp next to the couch and lit it, and walked out of the dormitory door in the dark.

It was pitch black outside, the night frost condensed into dew, the pale moon was engulfed by wandering dark clouds, and the sky and the earth seemed to turn into an endless abyss, with only the small flame in my hand becoming the only bright color.

The bright color is also miserable, as if it will be extinguished in the thick ink in the next moment.

We walked around the verandah and walked through a row of pharmacies in the woods. As people walked by, the light beams flickered in and out of the night with people. The woods in the medical hospital seemed to have turned into a mass grave of Luomeifeng, which was always a bit mysterious. Ghost fire Yingying.

Lu Zong stopped in front of a door.

 She opened the door and walked in.

As soon as you enter the house, you can smell the smell of old mist at the tip of your nose, accompanied by the strong fragrance of ink. She turned around and closed the door, then walked inside holding the oil lamp.

 The faint firelight illuminated the room.

 There are wooden beams of bookshelves on all sides, with thick books stacked on them. At a glance, they are densely packed.

This is the medical library where the medical records of each patient are stored in the hospital.

From the harem, concubines, royal relatives, to officials of all sizes, all of them will be recorded and stored in the medical warehouse of the medical official hospital after their medical consultations.

The same is true for Qi Yutai’s medical records.

Lu Yan walked to a wooden cabinet and took out the key to open the door.

The door of the wooden cabinet was opened, and there was a stack of volumes neatly stacked upright inside.

Lu Zhuo's eyes passed over the covers of the medical records. He stopped at one place for a moment, reached out and pulled out the medical records from the bookshelf.

 Under the dim light, one could clearly see three small, blurry words under the cover of the medical record: Qi Yutai.

Qi Yutai is an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Originally, his medical records could not be accessed at will. Fortunately, Lu Zhuo is now consulting Jin Xianrong. Jin Xianrong is also an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. She has the key to the cabinet of the medical records of the Ministry of Household Officials, which is a good bargain. She acts.

 This is Qi Yutai's medical record.

During the day, she noticed that Qi Yutai's pulse was strange. Compared with the hyperthermia caused by cold food powder, it seemed to be caused by long-term use of mind-stabilizing and analgesic drugs. After thinking about it, I felt that there was something wrong with this matter. However, medical officers were not allowed to look at medical records that were not the subject of medical consultation at will, so they could only come here at night to look for Qi Yutai's medical records when no one was around.

Lu Zong took the book and just closed the cabinet door when he heard a "squeak".

 There was a soft knock at the door.

somebody is coming!

In the flash of light, she blew out the oil lamp and quietly hid herself behind the bookshelves.

It is late at night, and there is deathly silence inside and outside the courtyard. The clouds in the sky gradually disperse, revealing one or two faint white moons. The moonlight lengthens the shadows of the people on the ground, and then disappears again with the closed door.

The man quietly entered the house and came to the heavy bookshelves as if he were familiar with it.

Lu Tong held his breath and held the medical case in his hand tightly, thinking that he was one of the several book beams in the room, standing quietly.

"Da da da-"

The footsteps were slow and leisurely. Lu Zhen felt that the other party was walking towards him step by step, and he couldn't help but feel for the silver needle in his sleeve.

"Da da da-"

　　The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was getting louder and heavier. As soon as I took another step, I could see Lu Yan hiding behind the bookshelf.

 She held the silver needle tightly.

The other party suddenly stopped.

　　 Immediately afterwards, there was a rustling sound, which seemed to be the sound of a key being opened, followed by another round of rummaging.

Lu Zhen cautiously pressed against the bookshelf, one shelf away, listening to the man's dark movements in the room.

After a while, the other party seemed to have found what he was looking for and closed the cabinet door.

Lu Zhen heard the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing, and as the door of the medical warehouse closed, there was no movement in the surroundings, only the bottomless darkness.

 …Leaved?

 She stood in the darkness for a while, making sure she didn't hear any more noises before she finally felt relieved.

 Should have left.

 Secretly relieved, she took the lamp and oil table and walked out of the bookshelf.

Just as she took a step forward, a cold, sharp edge touched her throat.

Lu Yan’s eyebrows skipped a beat.

In the dark room, there was only a little light from the window, which silently fell on the heavy bookshelves, illuminating the two people behind the bookshelves like shadows in a shadow puppet play.

Someone was standing behind her, waiting here for who knows how long.

 The familiar scent of blue musk came from behind, accompanied by the calm voice of the other party.

 He spoke, his tone was completely different from usual indifference.

 “So calm.”

 Lu Zhuo was startled.

Hearing this voice, she relaxed.

Putting away the poisonous silver needle in his sleeve, Lu Zhuo allowed the other party to hold him hostage and no longer resisted.

She said: "Master Pei, it's me."
