Chapter 85: The Covenant Keeper

"Ozawa, are you going to take the medicine box to the banquet?" Lu Xiufan, who was dressed in a dress, came to Shang Ke's room and saw that he was sorting out the medicine box, and the dress prepared for him was still neatly placed on the bed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Just in case." Shang Ke replied without looking back while examining the medical equipment and potions. Lu Xiufan was often subjected to various assassinations, of which poisoning was one of them. According to the information provided by the system, Lu Xiufan has been poisoned at least three or five times, although he has survived each time without danger, but who knows if there will be any variables in your arrival? So it's always good to be prepared.
Lu Xiufan likes Shang Ke's busy work for him, like a little wife, which makes him feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
He didn't bother Shang Ke, just sat aside and watched quietly, until he finished tidying up before he spoke: "Quickly change into dresses, we are ready to go." ”
"There are still 3 hours before the banquet starts, and it only takes 15 minutes to get from the mansion to the palace, so we still have plenty of time." Shang Ke closed the medicine box and placed it on the ground, then picked up the dress on the bed and turned around and walked towards the fitting room.
Lu Xiufan put his hands behind his back and followed slowly.
Shang Ke heard footsteps behind him, and the corners of his mouth twitched imperceptibly a few times, don't think that you can sneak into his fitting room by pretending to be careless!
Shang Ke closed the door of the fitting room and calmly blocked Lu Xiufan from the door.
Lu Xiufan: "......" obviously followed so closely, but I didn't expect it to be a foot slower.
After a while, Shang Ke, who had changed into a dress, walked out of the fitting room. Lu Xiufan's eyes lit up slightly, Shang Ke's appearance was already very outstanding, and wearing a delicate dress added a bit of elegance and a cold expression, giving people a feeling of abstinence.
This person belongs to him. Lu Xiufan's eyes were burning, he wrapped one hand around his waist, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, my dance partner." ”
Today is Prince Yiyun's fourteenth birthday, and the queen has hosted a grand dinner for him, to which many wealthy nobles are invited. Reporters from major media outlets also flocked to the palace to shoot their films.
Lu Xiufan usually acts in a low-key manner, but as the younger brother of the prince and the prince's imperial uncle, it is difficult not to be noticed on such occasions. As soon as he stepped out of the car, there was an exclamation all around, and the flashing lights flashed wildly.
At the same time, Shang Ke, who was following him, also received twelve points of attention. Lu Xiufan never brought a dance partner to a banquet, and he was still the first person in history. His appearance and temperament, even in the noble circle where there are many handsome men and beautiful women, is one in a million, and standing with Lu Xiufan, he is not cramped and weak at all.
Who is this teenager? The journalists sprang into action and began using their resources to investigate the identity of the acceptable.
Yue Xuan tried his best to suppress Yue Ze, wishing that he would be unknown for the rest of his life. But after today's banquet, Shang Ke's identity will no longer be a secret. The Yue family is a big family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and although Yue Ze rarely comes to the capital, he is well-known in the capital of Luoxu. The reporter had the photo in hand, and it was easy to investigate his identity.
Walking into the venue, everyone paid attention to Monk Lu Xiufan and Shang Ke, but no one dared to set foot within three meters of them. Lu Xiufan has a special status and a great reputation, and almost all powerful ministers respect him. Those who dare to challenge the psychological limit are probably only those infatuated men and women who have reverie about Lu Xiufan.
Lu Xiufan took Shang Ke to meet the queen, prince and prince, and introduced him to them as Yue Ze, the son of Yue Ze.
A hint of surprise flashed in the queen's eyes, and it could be seen from Lu Xiufan's tone that he was quite interested in this Yue family leader. If you look carefully, you can do it, your appearance is outstanding, your manners are moderate, and you are quite satisfied with it.
"Yue Ze, is your younger brother called 'Yue Xuan'? He's also on the list of invitees, so I'll bring him over later. The prince smiled heartily. He checked the guest list with the queen, and when he heard the name of "Yue Ze", he immediately remembered Yue Xuan.
The queen glanced at her husband lightly and said, "Yue Ze, don't be restrained, let Xiu Fan take you around." ”
She is much more careful than Lu Xiuqi, Yue Ze came to the banquet as Lu Xiufan's dance partner, and there is only the second son Yue Xuan in the official list, but not the eldest son Yue Ze, which shows that there is another inside story. If you want to be introduced, it should be up to Yue Ze himself.
After seeing the ceremony, Lu Xiufan took Shang Ke to his exclusive rest area.
Shang Ke didn't expect Yue Xuan to come, so he glanced around, and sure enough, he found him in the group of people where the prince was. It stands to reason that with Yue Xuan's identity and the prince's bad impression of him, he shouldn't be invited.
"Yue Xuan's mother has a very close relationship with the noblewomen." Lu Xiufan seemed to see through Shang Ke's thoughts, and opened his mouth to explain.
Oh. Shang Ke retracted his gaze, picked up the plate, and began to choose food for Lu Xiufan.
Lu Xiufan leaned on the sofa, tasting wine, while watching Shang Ke pick and choose on the dining table, his eyes focused and deep.
Shang Ke handed the plate full of food to the glass table in front of Lu Xiufan, and then made the same for himself. Lu Xiufan reclined beside Shang Ke, one hand on the sofa behind him, and the other hand holding a wine glass and sipping lightly.
The people in the banquet were busy socializing, and only the two of them stayed in the corner and enjoyed the food quietly, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with them.
At this moment, Lu Xiufan's wine tasting action paused slightly, and then returned to normal.
At the beginning of the birthday celebration ceremony, Lu Xiufan went to the stage again to show his face, and after going through the process of speech, thanks, toast, etc., he took Shang Ke to bid farewell to the queen.
The queen knew his character very well, and she did not keep him, but only told Shang Ke to take good care of him.
The two left the palace and went straight to the car to return to the mansion.
Halfway through the car, Lu Xiufan suddenly asked, "Do you have an antidote in your medicine box?" ”
Shang Ke looked at him suddenly, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that his muscles were stiff and his eyebrows were blue.
Lu Xiufan said again: "The wine I drank just now seems to have deteriorated a little. ”
Will the wine prepared in the palace go bad? Spoil your size! Shang Ke, who was not good-looking, immediately pulled his wrist and gave him a pulse.
After a while, Shang Ke tried his best to make his expression look less hideous, bent down and took out the medicine box from under the seat, took out a tube of medicine from it and handed it to Lu Xiufan. Then he took out another silver needle and stabbed the tips of his ten fingers, and dark red blood beads immediately flowed out of his fingertips.
This man, not to mention that he was poisoned, actually stayed at the banquet for several hours without changing his face! It's even better than he can die!
Shang Ke lowered his eyes and did not look at him, lest he accidentally expose his raging anger.
"I've been trained in drug testing since I was a child, and □□ poison doesn't kill me." Lu Xiufan said unhurriedly, "At Yi Yun's birthday banquet just now, it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches. "It's not like he's never encountered this kind of thing, and he's already familiar with it. It was only plotted in the royal palace, but it was the first time.
It's not advisable to make extraneous branches, so just endure it all the time? You think it's constipation, and it's been over again?!
Shang Ke's face sank like water, ignoring his explanation. When the dark red blood turned bright red, he took out a tissue to help him wipe his energy, and then applied hemostatic medicine.
Lu Xiufan leaned back in his chair and let Shang Ke help him treat his wounds.
"Go to the hospital." Shang Ke said suddenly.
"No, go back to the mansion." His identity is too conspicuous, and if he goes to any hospital, he will leak the news. He also has to secretly investigate the murderer, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake.
Shang Ke checked his pulse again, and made sure that there was no danger to his life, before acquiescing to his decision.
Back at the mansion, Shang Ke helped Lu Xiufan towards the room. As he walked, he always felt that the men around him were getting heavier and heavier, and in the end, almost the whole person was pressed on him.
Could it be a toxic attack? No, most of the poison has been cleaned up just now, and he doesn't attack when he is poisoned, but only after detoxification?
"Come over here and help me." Shang saw the servants around him standing stupidly and said in confusion.
When the servants heard this, instead of helping, they took a step back. Who dares to help, don't you see that the master is glaring at them with pity?
Shang Ke didn't know what was wrong with this group of servants, so he could only support Lu Xiufan alone, and it took a lot of effort to get him into the room.
Let Lu Xiufan lie down on the bed, Shang Ke opened the medicine box again and began to dispense him with antidotes.
Lu Xiufan turned over and quietly stared at Shang Ke, who was sitting cross-legged on the stall and dispensing medicine to him, his eyes gradually became dark.
At this time, Lu Xiufan suddenly got up and picked up Shang Ke on the ground.
Shang Ke was caught off guard, let out a low exhalation, and then quickly gathered his mind, looked straight at Lu Xiufan, and let him carry himself to the bed.
"I think it's time to fulfill our new contract."
Wait, you're still poisonous!
Lu Xiufan's eyes were scorching, and he couldn't resist yet, so he lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.
Stabilization! Stabilization! It's time to put expression art and performance art to the test!
The man's breath invaded his territory deeply, Shang Ke's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a shuddering sensation quickly swept through his body from the place where his lips and teeth intertwined.
The clothes were peeled off piece by piece, and the skin exposed to the air gradually warmed up under the caress of the two large hands.
Shang Ke tilted his head slightly, his cheeks flushed, his lips were delicate, and his watery eyes flashed with blurry colors. He tugged at the sheets tightly with both hands, biting his lip, holding back not to make a sound.
Lu Xiufan's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple rolled, he couldn't bear it anymore, and almost rudely possessed him. At the moment that penetrated, a moving brilliance flashed on his cold face, blooming like a hidden orchid, and it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Rapid and suppressed breathing sounded in the room, accompanied by the collision of bodies, adding infinite charm to the silent night......
Shang Ke found the forbearance of ML, which seems to have a special charm. Erupting in repression, high in low-key, the pleasure in it is simply indescribable.
The next day, Shang Ke woke up in a daze, got up habitually, and got ready to work, but before he could sit up, he was fished back by a pair of big hands. Pressed under the body, it was another exercise.
"It's a day off." Lu Xiufan's hoarse voice sounded in Shang Ke's ears.
It can still be seen that he is endless, grabbing his wrist, and seriously suspecting that he has not cleared the remaining poison, resulting in physiological disorders.
"I'm going to take my medicine at 9 o'clock." Shang Ke reminded him seriously, but the lazy voice was not convincing.
Lu Xiufan glanced at the time: "An hour, it should be okay." ”
However, he ultimately failed to take his medicine on time......
For this reason, Shang Ke prepared the most bitter medicine in the world to "reward" him for his excellent style of concealing poison and not reporting it, as well as his strong motivation to "reach the peak" even if he was poisonous......
