Chapter 204 Visiting the Qi Family

At night, the lights were on.

The West Street was quiet. Yin Zheng closed the door of the medical center and returned to the courtyard with a lamp. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lu Zhu sitting on the couch packing clothes.

Cui Min has been imprisoned, and Lu Xu is temporarily suspended from his job, but Qi Yutai is still mad and ill. From tomorrow, Lu Xu will visit the Imperial Master's Mansion to treat Qi Yutai.

Lu Zhuo packed up very slowly, folding the clothes neatly one by one, along with a few velvet flowers that Yinzheng had made for her. Yinzheng looked at them and suddenly felt a little sad.

"Girl," she said softly, "tomorrow you are going to the Grand Master's Mansion. The Qi family is not easy to get along with. There are many people there, so it may not be easy to do anything. Otherwise, I will go with you."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"The Qi family is different. There are people watching everywhere. You can't help much if you go. Instead, it will drag me down."

This was said somewhat mercilessly, and Yin Zheng remained silent.

Lu Zhu folded the bag, turned around to get the medical kit, and put some regular medicines into the medical kit.

Cui Min went to jail faster than expected.

The Grand Master's Mansion took action very cleanly.

Originally, Cui Min had the Taishi Mansion as his backer, so it was not easy to overthrow him. Now, it is better for the Taishi Mansion to do it himself.

Qi Qing asked Lu Zhuo if Miao Liangfang wanted to return to the medical hospital. As long as Miao Liangfang was willing, he could still return to the position of deputy hospital envoy.

But Miao Liangfang refused.

"Xiao Lu, I'm getting old." Miao Liangfang leaned on a cane, his expression was as peaceful as ever before, and he looked at her with a smile, "I have no ambitions in my heart, and in the future I just want to live in peace and contentment. Just listen to the weather and be my doctor in a down-to-earth manner.”

"There is a saying that goes well: if you climb high in the woods and springs, if you are poor in harvesting salt, all the officials and prisoners will lose their care."

"How about being rich? How about being noble? There is leisure and joy in leisure, and the world is as wide as a pot!"

He refused firmly.

Lu Zhuo did not force it.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and the same person may make completely different choices twenty years ago and twenty years later.

Yin Zheng watched her sorting out the medicine box and couldn't help but say: "Girl, I'm still worried. The Medical Officer's Hospital has Medical Officer Lin and Medical Officer Ji to help, but you are the only one in the Taishi Mansion. Otherwise... …Looking for help from Master Xiao Pei?”

"What are you doing with him?"

"Master Pei has many people under his command. I read in the storybook that those princes and generals always have a few omnipotent guards. Let him give one to you and hide it in the Grand Master's Mansion. If you are in danger, I can still protect you."

Lu Yan was speechless for a moment and said: "These words are too outrageous. You should avoid reading them in the future. The Taishi Mansion is strictly guarded. It is different from the Medical Officer's Court. It is not easy for him to arrange for people to enter."

"Besides," Lu Zhu closed the medical box, "I owe Pei Yunying a lot of favors. If I continue to pay more, I will soon be unable to pay them back."

"Let's give him a gift before he can get it." Yin Zheng still didn't give up, "The recipient has short hands, so let's give him some generous gifts. It's better not to help after collecting the things."

"Girl, do you know what Mr. Pei likes on weekdays? Let's ask Shopkeeper Du to count his money in advance and collect some money to buy some expensive gifts. If his birthday is the best day, when is his birthday?"

Lu Tong paused.

She really didn't know this.

"My birthday is one month after my sister's birthday, on August 19th. Why, do you want to celebrate it for me?"

Suddenly a man's voice came from behind. The two of them looked at the sound and saw Pei Yunying standing at the door, looking at Lu Zhu leisurely.

Lu Yan frowned: "How did you get in?"

He smiled and glanced outside, as if he was a little disgusted, "This medical center is indeed not as well guarded as the Grand Master's Mansion. I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. I came in because I was afraid that something would happen to you."

Lu Shun was speechless.

The four-year-old child of Tailor Ge's family in the front shop on West Street has recently gone to school and has not learned his homework well. At night, the noise of children crying, parents scolding, and chickens and dogs jumping around covers everything. It is really hard to hear someone knocking on the door.

Yin Zheng's eyes wandered around the two of them, then smiled and stood up and said, "Master Pei is here. I'll go to the kitchen to make a pot of hot tea." After saying that, he quietly exited the room and opened the door before leaving. On.

Pei Yunying walked into the room, sat down in front of the round table, and put the bamboo basket in his hand on the table.

Lu Yan asked: "What is this?"

"Jasmine cake."

Lu Chen's eyes moved and he looked at him: "Is it from Shidingxuan?"

Pei Yunying hummed: "I was passing by and there happened to be some leftovers, so I bought a box."

Lu Yan was silent.

The fragrance of jasmine mixed with the sugar juice of the cakes gradually exudes a sweet smell from the bamboo basket, which is particularly tempting at night.

He glanced at Lu Chen: "It's just a box of fragrant cakes, and it's not expensive. Why do you look like that?"

Lu Zhuo retracted his thoughts: "It's already late, and the palace commander is still running around. Haven't you heard of the principles of cultivating and calming the mind?" She reminded, "Staying up late will kill you."

Pei Yunying laughed and said nonchalantly: "Just die, everyone is destined to die."

Lu Chen: "..."

Seeing that she was speechless, he smiled instead, but his tone was more serious: "Are you going to the Grand Master's Mansion?"

"yes."

"Why did you go to Qi's house?" Pei Yunying paused before continuing: "I thought you wanted to use Cui Min's hand to kill Qi Yutai."

Handing the problematic prescription to a villain who plagiarizes it kills two birds with one stone.

Lu Yan lowered his eyes: "It would be too easy for him to die unconsciously."

Pei Yun frowned: "Did you enter the Grand Master's Mansion to poison him?"

"No," Lu Yan said, "I will cure him."

In the dim light, her voice was calm.

"Madmen cannot be punished, only sane people will be punished. At least he should have been sober before he died."

Pei Yunying frowned slightly.

The woman sat at the table, staring at the medical box in front of her with lowered eyebrows. Her black hair and white skirt looked like a light ink painting.

It seems like it will disappear at any moment.

After a moment of silence, he reminded in a low voice: "Qi Qing is not a fool. Starting yesterday, someone has been sent to Sunan to check your details."

Lu Zhuo raised his eyes.

"I have asked someone to deal with it, but even if the details cannot be found, Qi Qing has already suspected you. Before, he had someone investigate the Lu family in Changwu County."

"Qi Qing is very keen."

The room was quiet for a moment.

Lu Zhen laughed instead.

"I know."

She said: "When he came to Renxin Medical Center before, he tested me once. Even if he goes to Sunan to investigate, he can't find anything. At most, it proves that what I said is the truth."

"Qi Qing knew that I had ulterior motives, but he had no choice, because I was the only one who could save Qi Yutai. In his eyes, I was a pariah who was smart and daring to make deals with high-ranking people. He despised me, so I took advantage of him. "

Pei Yunying stared at her: "What are your plans after entering the Grand Master's Mansion?"

"Attack the strong with the strong, separate the close with the close, disperse the masses with the masses. I always have my own way."

"But it's too dangerous for you to be alone."

"Commander," Lu Huo said, "In this world, some parents kill and set fire for their children, and some children avenge their parents. It's fair."

"Revenge is always dangerous."

"It's different this time." Pei Yunying looked at her, his eyes were smiling, but his tone was rare and solemn, "When you go to the Grand Master's Mansion, you are putting yourself in danger alone. He can take action against you at any time. If something happens to you, there will be people around you." No one can save you."

"I'll let someone sneak into the Taishi Mansion to help you." He said.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

By some strange coincidence, what Yin Zheng had just said suddenly came to mind.

"I read in the storybook that princes and generals always have a few omnipotent guards. Let him give one to you."

It turns out that what sounds outrageous is actually true?

Does Pei Yunying really have an omnipotent bodyguard?

She was thinking to herself, and she didn't come back to her senses until the person in front of her stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"No need." She composed herself and said, "I can do it myself."

Pei Yunying looked at her for a while and then suddenly said: "Did you forget something?"

"What?"

"You are my creditor and you can pay me at any time."

He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Huan, "As long as you say it, I will do it."

Lu Zong paused.

A few bright lights illuminated his face, and the young man's eyes were dark, like the thick night outside Shengjing's window, and he stared at her quietly.

Serious tone, soft eyes.

It seemed that even if she made a ridiculous request at this moment, he would agree without hesitation.

In the oil lamp on the table, the flickering flame swayed slightly, and Lu Zhen's heart also swayed slightly.

There is a sweet aroma slowly drifting along the wind. It is the fragrance of jasmine cake.

She suddenly lowered her eyes and tightened her grip on the strap of the medical box. When she raised her head again, she had a calm look on her face.

"The grace of saving lives is precious, and favors should be used wisely. In the future, I will have more important things that I want to ask the palace commander for help. When that happens, I will not be polite to the palace commander."

Pei Yunying's eyes flashed: "What's the matter?"

"I can't tell you now. When the time comes, the palace commander will know."

He looked at Lu Chen and said, "Mysterious." Finally, he was worried and asked again, "Is your plan to deal with the Grand Master's Mansion reliable? Do you really not need help?"

Lu Zhuo shook his head.

"The palace commander has also heard a saying, Mo Yan is so hot that the fire will be extinguished in a moment."

She smiled: "When things go to extremes, they will turn upside down, and when evil comes to extremes, they will perish. It's time for some people to perish."

…

It was already late at night when I left Renxin Medical Center.

The cries of children being beaten at the entrance of the temple have all disappeared, and there is no one on West Street. Pei Yunying returned to the Palace Commander's Mansion, and Xiao Zhufeng was about to get up and leave.

Seeing him coming back, Xiao Zhufeng asked, "Where have you been so late?"

Pei Yunying ignored him, only called Qing Feng and ordered: "Send one of the nails I prepared for the Qi family before."

Qing Feng was stunned and said nervously: "Sir, do you want to take action in advance?"

"no."

After a pause, Pei Yunying said: "Tomorrow Lu Zhuo will go to the Grand Master's Mansion to treat Qi Yutai and protect her secretly."

"..."

Qingfeng took the order and left.

Xiao Zhufeng glanced at him without hesitation, and finally sighed.

"If His Highness knew what you were like, he would definitely regret dragging you into this."

"...You don't look very calm now."

Pei Yunying ignored him, her lowered eyelashes looked a bit gloomy under the light.

Although Lu Chen said he didn't need help, he still felt uneasy.

She came to the Imperial Master's Mansion alone, just like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

simply……

It was even more nerve-wracking than going into danger alone.

…

The next day it was sunny.

In the Grand Master's Mansion, there are banana trees in front of the window. There is a young woman sitting under the window. She has a thin incense stick and a shining beaded skirt. She is holding a scroll in her hand and is looking out the window in a daze.

The maid Qiangwei beside her came in with a plate of snacks and said with a smile: "Miss, I didn't use much of the early morning meals. The kitchen made the jasmine pancakes that Miss used to love. Could you try it, Miss?"

Qi Huaying glanced at it absently and shook his head slightly.

Qiangwei and the maid next to her looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed for each other.

Qi Huaying frowned.

The Qi family has been in trouble recently.

It seems that since the hunting in Huangmaogang, there has been nothing pleasant.

First, Huangmaogang's former guard squadron Wei Zhong got involved with the Taishi Mansion, which caused Qi Qing to be repeatedly targeted in the court. Then Qi Yutai was hit by a fire in Fengle Building, and he lost his soul in shock. The whole Yanzhi Alley saw that he was going crazy. Rumors gradually spread outside that Qi Yutai was crazy. Fortunately, he gradually regained consciousness.

However, a few days after he woke up, Qi Yutai fell ill again. The courtyard of Taishi's Mansion was filled with the bitter smell of soup and medicine every day. For fear of causing trouble, Qi Huaying rarely left the house.

His heart was depressed and his appetite was not very good. No matter how the kitchen changed, Qi Huaying continued to lose weight day by day.

"Brother, are you feeling better today?" She asked the maid next to her sideways.

Qiangwei shook her head, "I still can't recognize people when I wake up in the morning."

Qi Huaying sighed.

"I don't know what my father was thinking. When Cui Yuan was in trouble, he didn't help him."

Cui Min had an accident two days ago.

Qi Huaying was also surprised when he learned about this.

Qi Yutai has always been diagnosed and treated by Cui Min. A few years ago, Qi Yutai was injured and there was a fire in Fengle Building. It was only after Cui Min came to treat Qi Yutai that he regained consciousness. Even if Cui Min had it, at least now he is Qi Yutai's savior and should not be jailed at this time.

Without Cui Min, the son of the Ji family who has the best medical skills in the medical hospital now is considered to be the young master of the Ji family. However, his father has never been friendly to the Ji family. Qi Huaying has also heard that he is honest and upright. If it is an ordinary disease, it will be fine. It just happened to be epilepsy.

She asked: "Qiangwei, do you know who the new medical officer is to treat my brother?"

Qiangwei hesitated and replied softly: "Actually... I just saw the new medical officer when I passed by the hospital."

Qi Huaying looked at her suspiciously: "Who is it?"

"It's...Medical Officer Lu, Lu Huan, who killed the young master's beloved dog earlier."

Qi Huaying was stunned.

"What?"

…

Under the long corridor, Lu Yan was walking forward with the woman who led the way.

Summer is approaching dusk, and thousands of flowers are blooming. The gardens of Taishi Mansion are exquisite. The pavilions, pavilions and ponds are all exquisitely arranged, but they are not overly gorgeous. At a glance, the gates and courtyards are elegant and clean, and the pavilions are clean and beautiful.

The mother-in-law led Lu Zong into a courtyard, stopped outside the door, knocked gently a few times, and said, "Medical Officer Lu is here."

The door was opened, and Lu Zhuo walked in with a medical box on his back. As soon as he entered the room, a snow-white object flew towards her. She quickly avoided it with her quick eyes and hands. The object gently grazed her forehead, leaving a trace of thorns. pain.

Qi Yutai's horrified cry suddenly sounded in his ears: "Let me go——"

The next moment, another woman exclaimed: "Brother!"

A woman in rich clothes hurriedly ran in outside the door and was about to rush in front of Qi Yutai. She was stopped by people in the room. The nearest maid said urgently: "Miss, no, the master is still ill now, I'm afraid I will hurt you."

"Brother's hand is injured!" The woman's voice was anxious and she stopped rushing forward.

Lu Zhuo looked forward.

Several servants held down the frantic Qi Yutai, and the soup was smashed on the ground. Someone was taking the broken porcelain pieces away from Qi Yutai's hand. Probably because he broke the medicine bowl, Qi Yutai's finger was cut. Someone was bandaging him at this moment. Lu Zhuo touched the stinging forehead and glanced at the corner of the porcelain shard that fell at his feet.

Just now, Qi Yutai threw this.

She looked at the woman who was looking at Qi Yutai with concern.

This should be the Miss Qi family, Qi Huaying.

After taking a quick glance at Baoxiang Tower, this was the first time for Lu Huan to observe the young lady of the Qi family up close. It seemed that Qi Huaying and Qi Yutai were deeply in love with each other. It was no wonder that Qi Yutai wanted to fight for his wronged sister on Huangmaogang.

After a pause, Lu Tong stepped forward and said, "Leave two people to help me hold Mr. Qi down, and the rest will go out first. I want to treat Mr. Qi."

Her voice was calm and Qi Huaying looked at her.

Lu Chen calmly let her look at him.

"But there are only two people in the house, what should we do if something happens?" Qi Huaying asked.

Before Lu Yan could speak, the short old housekeeper standing in the room spoke first.

"It doesn't matter." He walked up to Lu Huan, lowered his head slightly, and looked very respectful. "The master has told me in advance that everything will be in accordance with Medical Officer Lu's instructions." He raised his hand to the people behind him. Except for the two guards around Qi Yutai, everyone else bowed their heads. Exit the house.

The broken porcelain pieces on the ground were also cleaned up.

"Miss, please go back first." The old housekeeper smiled.

Qi Huaying glanced at Qi Yutai worriedly, then at Lu Yun, then turned around and went out without saying anything.

"Medical Officer Lu," the old housekeeper looked at Lu Huan again, "The young master acted like a child when he first got sick. If there is anything inappropriate, please take care of it, Medical Officer Lu."

Lu Chen said he didn't dare.

"In this case," the old housekeeper bowed, "the young master will be entrusted to you to take care of him."

He backed out and the door closed again.

Lu Zhu turned his head and looked at Qi Yutai.

Qi Yutai was restrained by two people beside her, looking at her with fear in their eyes.

"Don't come here!" he screamed, kicking his legs as hard as he could, with a sharp and strange tone, "Don't come here -"

Lu Chen looked at her gently.

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Qi."

She smiled: "I'm here to treat you."

…

The night is getting darker.

In the study, the light is dim.

The old housekeeper entered the room, walked behind the person at the table, and whispered: "Master, the young master has gone to bed."

Qi Qing nodded: "Okay."

He didn't say anything. The housekeeper took the initiative to speak.

"After Lu Tong entered the room during the day, he checked the pulse and symptoms of the young master, changed the prescription, and then boiled the medicine and acupuncture... He tried his best. The two guards kept watching and never found anything wrong."

It is always dangerous for a strange medical officer to enter the Qi family and treat Qi Yutai.

Even though Cui Min's medical skills are not good, the Qi family has raised him for many years and he is a well-behaved dog.

This new wild dog is different.

I don't know the details, where he came from, and even his purpose is vague, so I have to be a little vigilant.

Therefore, the guards in the house are all carefully selected. If she dares to do something unexpected to Qi Yutai, she will be killed immediately.

"Is the young master getting better?" Qi Qing asked.

"... No."

Qi Qing sighed.

"Let's wait and see."

He looked at the dark Buddhist beads in his hand and closed his eyes slightly.

"Keep an eye on her."

"Yes, master."

...

The curtains on the bed were lowered, and the person on the couch breathed evenly.

Lu Tong sat on the threshold outside the house, lowering her head to eat.

The food delivered in the evening was completely cold by late at night. When Qi Yutai was ill, he could not rest for a moment, and even had to find time to eat. For example, at this moment, Qi Yutai, who had been crazy for a day, was exhausted and fell asleep, and she could finally sit down and rest for a moment.

The food in the Taishi Mansion was exquisite, but when it was cold, the taste became strange.

She swallowed carefully, ignoring the scrutinizing eyes of the guards in Qi Yutai's room behind her.

The housekeeper said: Qi Yutai was like a child when he was ill, which was really beautified. Qi Yutai was like a devil when he was ill, or perhaps, he was a devil.

She had to face this man's panic and nonsense at any time. Sometimes Qi Yutai would suddenly wake up halfway through the needle. Men are stronger than women. The two guards in Qi Yutai's room might be afraid of hurting him, so they would not use their full strength to control him.

Decoction, feeding, acupuncture, comfort...

Now Lu Tong understood why Cui Min, who was always steady and shrewd, would also seek medical treatment desperately and lose his usual calmness after Qi Yutai fell ill. Why did Cui Min's hair turn gray in just a few days after the fire in Fengle Tower?

Lack of sleep and excessive thinking, mental fatigue, ordinary medical officers can hardly bear such torture.

She quickly finished her meal, and the maid took away the dishes and took her to the next room to wash up. The Taishi Mansion asked her to watch over Qi Yutai all night to prevent Qi Yutai from falling ill at night.

Lu Tong simply washed up, sprinkled a thin layer of medicine powder on the corner of her forehead that was scratched by Qi Yutai during the day in front of the mirror, and then went into the house. The maid had already helped her to set up the bedding.

The small bed was set up near the door of the house. It was a very low couch. Once Qi Yutai woke up at night, she could immediately go forward to check, but she would not be too close to prevent the guards from stopping her if she had bad intentions.

Lu Tong climbed onto the couch and pulled up the quilt.

The Qi family was sacrificing her reputation by letting her live in the same room with Qi Yutai and other men. It might be a problem for her to get married in the future.

However, she didn't care about that.

Lu Tong turned over and touched the flower hairpin in her hair.

The hibiscus leaves were slender, and in the darkness, they were clean and graceful, like fresh snow.
