The night is dark.

When Lu Yu returned to the medical hospital, the lights in the dormitory had all been turned off.

Qingfeng's carriage sent her back to the gate of the medical officer's hospital, and she didn't leave until she watched Lu Yu enter the door. Chang Jin seemed to have gone back to sleep in the dormitory, and there was no one in the courtyard.

After bypassing the corridor, Lu Yu walked to the door of the house, and saw Lin Danqing coming in from outside with a lamp in one hand and an empty basin in the other. "I pushed the door open and walked in.

Lu Yu looked at her back and knew it in his heart.

Lin Danqing's clothes are all saved and taken home during the monthly break, and the servants in the house are asked to help wash them, and they have slept with her for so long, and it is the first time for Lu Yu to see her washing clothes at night, and this reason is really not enough.

What's more, there is not a drop of water in the basin.

The lights in the house were lit, and Lu Yu followed into the house and closed the door.

Xu was talking nonsense because of drinking last night, Lin Danqing's behavior was not as natural as usual, and if he looked closely, he was still a little embarrassed.

She herself sensed this suffocating embarrassment, walked to the table and sat down, grabbed a handful of pine nuts from the table drawer and handed it to Lu Yu, and asked her, "Do you want to eat?" ”

Lu Yu shook his head, put the medical box back on the table, and got up to make the bed.

Lin Danqing had no choice but to eat it by herself, ate a few grains, and suddenly said, "Are you leaving with Pei Dianshuai today?" ”

Lu Yu made the bed for a moment.

She looked back: "You see?" ”

"I didn't eavesdrop!" Lin Danqing hurriedly explained, "I came out of the pharmacy and saw you talking to Medical Officer Ji at a glance, you know that I am most afraid of Medical Officer Ji, I wanted to wait for him to come over again, but who knew that Pei Dianshuai would suddenly appear and take you away." ”

"I swear, I didn't hear a word of what you said. I still have this kind of eyesight. ”

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, turned around and continued to make the bed, and only said: "Deputy Envoy Xiao of the front division of the palace suddenly had a headache and sent me over to see a doctor." ”

Lin Danqing peeled off a pine nut, "Deputy Envoy Xiao has a headache, just find someone to deliver the post, why let Pei Dianshuai run in person?" I don't think that's the reason. ”

Lu Yu brushed the last fold on the futon, turned around and sat down on the edge of the couch, and looked at Lin Danqing: "What do you mean?" ”

"That's what you think," Lin Danqing continued to peel the pine nuts, threw the shell on the coarse cloth on the mat, and threw the pine nuts into a plate dipped in vinegar on weekdays, and sighed: "Sister Lu, in fact, I am the best at seeing people's eyes, in the past, I went to the other people's house with my family to attend a banquet, and I saw at a glance that the relationship between the eldest young master and his stepmother in that house was unusual, and the others were unaware. ”

"I think my eyes are born to see if something is wrong."

Lu Yu looked at her: "Then what did you see wrong?" ”

Lin Danqing also seemed to be interested, sitting cross-legged on the chair, peeling pine nuts in his hands, "You and Pei Dianshuai have an unusual relationship." ”

"How so?"

"When Envoy Cui asked you to give Jin Xianrong a consultation before, he helped you speak. I thought it was to repay you for saving her sister's niece, but it always felt weird. ”

"What's weird?"

She sighed oldly, "The errand boy in our palace is afraid of owing favors, and the other is afraid of getting involved with others." Sister Lu, as soon as you entered the medical hospital, you offended the envoy of the Cui Academy, and you may offend someone else in the future, if he wants to repay you, he can use a more upright way, instead of showing others that you have a personal relationship. ”

"He's a smart guy, and it's intriguing that he knows it's not worth it."

Lu Yu was silent for a moment: "Do you think he has other plans for me?" ”

"I didn't say that." Lin Danqing smiled and said, "But at least you should be special, do you have a good relationship?" ”

Friendship?

Lin Danqing's words stopped Lu Yu.

Does she have a good relationship with Pei Yunyi?

It doesn't seem to be a very good relationship.,I've seen each other with blades.,Until now, each other still hasn't lost their guard against each other at all.。

But it seems to be a little closer than ordinary people, Pei Yunyi knows where she comes from and who she is, and she also knows the scars and secrets behind Pei Yunyi. She will be unabashed with him and more open with others than with others.

Lin Danqing's voice came from his ears: "But Sister Lu, as a friend, I still have to persuade you a few words." Although this Pei Dianshuai has an extraordinary background and his appearance is also one of the best in Shengjing, he is a hot potato, you have been dating him every day, remember to leave a little leeway, otherwise you will offend others and make yourself suffer. ”

This was said quite suggestively, and Lu Yu asked: "Who is the 'other'?" ”

Lin Danqing's hand peeling pine nuts stopped.

She turned around, looked at Lu Yu, and said solemnly: "Taishi Mansion." ”

Lu Yu's heart moved.

She looked sideways: "What does this have to do with the Taishi Mansion?" ”

"Naturally, it has a relationship!" Lin Danqing lowered her voice: "Top secret news in the palace, don't ask me where I heard it, the Queen Mother intends to marry Lord Xiao Pei, and what she likes is the daughter of the Qi family!" ”

Pei Yunyi and Qi Huaying?

Lu Yu's eyes moved slightly.

In the past, when she didn't know the details of Pei Yunyao and tested each other, she had speculated so badly that Pei Yunyao would be Qi Qing's fast son-in-law in the future. However, after getting along, they didn't realize that Pei Yunyi had other thoughts about the Qi family.

Otherwise, he knew that he was dealing with the Qi family, and he shouldn't have "brought himself to justice" for his father-in-law's family?

Why let it go and watch it coldly?

This doesn't look like a family's move.

Lin Danqing lowered his head and peeled the pine nuts again: "I look, the flowing water is ruthless, I don't know, the falling flowers must be intentional." If the Qi family really doesn't want to marry this family, with the strong and cautious style of the Taishi Mansion, this top-secret news can't reach my ears at all. There must be a reason for it, so I remind you. ”

"It is said that red faces are bad water, and blue faces are the same. After all, you should be careful on weekdays, so as not to be misunderstood and cause trouble. ”

Lu Yu was silent.

Lin Danqing thought of something again, and then admonished: "I told you just now, you can't say it." ”

Lu Yu responded, bowed his head and pondered.

If what Lin Danqing said is true, at least the Qi family is now interested in marrying the Pei family.

She suddenly remembered the time when she bumped into Qi Yutai when she met Xianlou before, that time she hid in Pei Yunyao's arms, and only heard Qi Yutai's words and intentions to befriend Pei Yunyao, although Pei Yunyao refused at that time......

She only saw the daughter of the princess, and she glanced at Baoxiang downstairs, although the other party was covered with tulle and couldn't see her face, but she only looked at her figure and bearing, she was also outstanding, Chu Chu was romantic, and she heard that Miss Qi was fluent in poetry and literature, and she was a well-known talented woman in Shengjing. Even if you don't want the title of a daughter, it is enough to make countless men bend their waists.

Pei Yunyi is also a man.

On the one hand, he is a father-in-law who is rich and rivals the country and has a strong background, and on the other hand, he is a wife who is soft and feminine, dignified and beautiful. If Pei Yunyi chooses to be Qi Qing's fast son-in-law, it will be a matter of course.

It's just that in this way, he is on the opposite side of himself.

Her thoughtful appearance with low eyebrows fell in Lin Danqing's eyes, which confirmed Lin Danqing's guess in her heart for no reason, and felt a little pity for her. So he pushed the small dish containing peeled pine nuts in front of him forward, stood up and said: "I have peeled these pine nuts for you, you remember to eat them tomorrow morning, how can you be so thin and weak, how can you not replenish on weekdays." ”

She got up to go back to her couch, but Lu Yu stopped behind her: "Danqing." ”

"Huh?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yu spoke: "Do you know which of the eunuchs in Shengjing likes to use gold plates the most?" ”

"Gold?" Lin Danqing was stunned for a moment: "What are you asking for?" ”

Lu Yu didn't speak.

She went to the palace marshal's mansion, and in the prescription that Pei Yunyi showed her, although the medicinal materials have changed, the content is still the same as the prescription she saw last time: if it is contained in gold, the life-saving medicine will instantly become a piercing poison.

She always felt that something was wrong.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Danqing didn't continue to ask, but smiled: "The gold bowl is expensive, but it is too grandiose, and the wealthy businessman Jia loves to use this thing, but the official eunuch in Shengjing uses jade dishes and jade cups to show honor." What must be said...... The palace is made of gold. ”

Lu Yu suddenly raised his head: "In the palace? ”

"yes." Lin Danqing nodded.

She said: "Sister Lu, don't you know that the utensils used by the royal family in the palace are all made of gold and silver. ”

……

The night is quiet, and the lights in the palace marshal's house are bright.

Xiao Zhufeng came in from outside, glanced at the young man sitting at the table and handled the official documents, and said, "People are gone?" ”

"Gone."

He said coldly: "You really took great pains. ”

Lu Yu came to the palace marshal's mansion, but Pei Yunyi used his sudden headache as an excuse, so he naturally had to do a full set of plays, he was going to go to the martial arts arena to practice galloping, but he had to stay in the room and pretend to be weak.

Lu Yu even really checked his pulse, saying that his blood was rising, and he also prescribed two prescriptions for him.

He couldn't get sick once in a few years, and he pretended to be weak once, which caused the guards of the palace marshal's mansion to care for him, and they all asked for warmth.

Pei Yunyi turned over a page of official documents without raising his head: "You are a deputy envoy, you have a high status, and it is more important to carry you out." ”

Xiao Zhufeng didn't want to deal with the hypocritical praise of his companions, so he sat down at the opposite table and asked, "Has she seen Fangzi?" ”

"Look, it's the same as before."

Xiao Zhufeng was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that His Highness already knows about it." ”

Pei Yunyi hooked the corners of his mouth: "I know what I know, and I have a lot of evidence to know my heart." ”

Xiao Zhufeng didn't answer.

There was silence in the room, save for the soft rustling of the scroll. After a while, Xiao Zhufeng spoke: "Lu Yu knows the formula, is it okay?" ”

The young man's hand holding the pen stopped.

He raised his eyes: "I only let her see the prescription, and I didn't reveal anything else." ”

"But she's smart." Xiao Zhufeng reminded, "Patchwork together, you may not be able to guess." ”

"Worrying too much, she is busy with revenge, not so idle."

Xiao Zhufeng: "Then what about you, you have to help her all the time, you won't really like her, right?" ”

There was silence in the room.

After a while, Pei Yunyao sneered: "I'm Duan Xiaoyan? ”

"If you're really a little feast, whoever you like."

Xiao Zhufeng had a sullen face, still in a businesslike tone, "Your Highness is already planning to do it, and there is no room for error at this time." By the way," he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did you reject the Qi family's post again?" ”

Pei Yunyi let out a casual "um".

Xiao Zhufeng showed a look of "sure enough".

"Qi Qing wants you to be his son-in-law, but you don't know how to lift, and you refuse every time, he really values you." He was sarcastic in his words, but serious in his face.

Pei Yunyi tugged at the corner of his lower lip: "He doesn't value me, he values the Pei family." ”

"It's all the same."

The night was surprisingly quiet, and he looked sideways out the window.

The summer night in Shengjing is cool, the moonlight is like silver, and the fragrance of light night incense blows into the courtyard along the night breeze.

He looked at it for a moment, then withdrew his gaze.

"Xiao Er."

"Hmm."

"It won't be long before there is a hunting in the suburbs of Beijing."

Xiao Zhufeng's eyes moved slightly, and after a while, he muttered, "Time is so fast." ”

"yes."

The young man looked at the flames dancing in the bronze lamp in front of the table, and the flames reflected a layer of warmth in his dark eyes, but his eyes looked even more indifferent.

"Time flies."

……

Hunting in the suburbs of Beijing is also a major event among the nobles of Shengjing.

Taishi Qi Qing doesn't like to be noisy, he only loves to be pure, and he is old, so he doesn't participate in such occasions. However, his son Qi Yutai, as a young man, wanted to follow.

The children of other official families were busy practicing riding and archery, and they just wanted to show their strength in the hunting ground, but Qi Yutai, the son of the Taishi, was too idle.

He is not good at racing, and his riding and archery skills are only mediocre, and Qi Qing does not allow him to do these things like a martial artist. When others asked, they said that they were influenced by his father's belief in Buddhism, and he couldn't kill them.

The household department granted him leave, and stayed in the house every day, and I don't know if it was detained for a long time, and he was particularly irritable these days, the more annoying he was, the more idle he was, the more annoying he was, and in this idle day, he was asked to find a serious matter, that is, to find out who the woman who caused his sister to shed tears.

Two days ago, Qi Huaying passed by the alley at the entrance of the medical officer's hospital in a carriage, and saw a woman behaving intimately with Pei Yunyi, the commander of the front division of the palace.

Another Qi Huaying's personal maid said that when he saw that the person who was close to Pei Yunyi was wearing the skirt of the female medical officer of the Medical Officer's Hospital, Qi Yutai immediately sent someone to inquire.

The person who inquired about the news replied quickly, but he inquired clearly in one day, and there was only one female medical officer who went to the clinic that night, and it was Lu Yu, the medical officer of the Hanlin medical officer.

As soon as Qi Yutai learned the news, he rushed to tell Qi Huaying.

Qi Huaying crooked on the soft couch, took a book of poems and flipped through it, and saw Qi Yutai coming in from outside the door, looked at him listlessly, lowered his head, and continued to look at the page of poetry in his hand in a daze.

Since returning from the carriage on that day, Qi Huaying has always looked so sad and depressed, and he can't do anything.

"Sister, I inquired!"

As soon as he entered the house, Qi Yutai stepped forward quickly, sat down beside Qi Huaying, and said, "The woman who traveled with Pei Yunyao that day was a new medical envoy of the Hanlin Medical Academy, called Lu Yu. ”

Qi Huaying was stunned for a moment: "Lu Yu? ”

She had never heard the name.

"It's a plain medical officer, she used to sit in a restaurant on the street, and I saw her once when she went to the Sili Mansion to treat Jin Xianrong before."

Qi Yutai was faintly excited between his eyebrows.

The person who inquired about the news came back and said that the female medical officer who traveled with Pei Yunyao was called Lu Yu.

When he heard this name, Qi Yutai was also surprised.

He remembered Lu Yu, the thing under Jin Xianrong was not easy to use, and it was spread all over the officials, and it was okay to change a few medical officers in the medical hospital, but it gradually got better in the hands of a female medical officer. The last time he had a nightmare in the Sili Mansion, he saw Lu Yu, and she also checked his pulse.

In all fairness, the female medical officer was quite beautiful, and she was completely different from Sheng Jing's beauty, Qi Yutai almost moved her mind at that time, but after all, she was an errand person, and her father had been quite strict recently, so he finally put out his thoughts.

Now that he learned that this female medical officer was the culprit who made his sister cry sadly, he was naturally furious.

"Sister," Qi Yutai looked at Qi Huaying's face that seemed to be a little thinner, and said distressedly: "She is something, but she is a lowly and ordinary person, and she is not qualified to be a slave for you, and she dares to make you sad." ”

"Brother is angry with you, let her taste the bitterness tomorrow, let her know what a price to pay for offending the daughter of our Taishi Mansion!"

Qi Huaying was taken aback: "Brother, don't!" ”

"Sister, I'm angry for you." Qi Yutai looked puzzled.

Qi Huaying knows very well that although his brother looks polite and respectful, he has acted impulsively since he was a child, and he is restrained by his father's housekeeper on weekdays, and he can still not be seen outside, but when there is no one in private, he always can't help but do some bad things, and he has more and more headaches.

She said: "Brother, you are also a man, since Pei Dianshuai loves that medical girl, it is when he is in love, if you make a move, won't you make a feud?" ”

Qi Yutai contemptuously: "Revenge for a pariah? ”

Seeing Qi Huaying's disapproving gaze, Qi Yutai sneered: "I will let people handle it cleanly, and no one will know that it was the Qi family who did it." ”

Qi Huaying only shook his head: "Father said that the methods of the front division of the palace should not be underestimated...... And even if he didn't know that it was you, something really happened to the doctor girl, but it became a pain in his heart, and he will never forget it. ”

"The most important thing is ......"

Qi Huaying lowered her eyes, "I've already decided to give up on him." ”

"Sister?"

"Since he has someone in his heart, why should I be bored, besides, with my identity, wouldn't I surrender my identity if I am jealous of a peaceful person. My brother doesn't have to persuade me, and I don't have to do anything, my father said that there are a lot of people staring at the Taishi Mansion recently, and it will be my father's birthday soon, at this juncture, don't let my father worry about any more incidents. ”

Although she was still depressed, her tone was very resolute. Qi Yutai had a big head when she heard her talk about her father, this sister was smarter than him, she was born better than him, and she was dignified and decent, the only bad thing was that she was exactly the same as her father when she taught herself, which made people feel terrified.

He coughed lightly, didn't dare to continue the conversation, and was about to get up and leave, when his eyes swept to the table drawer, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes narrowed, he sat back again, looked at Qi Huaying and said softly: "Sister, I told you to lend me a little silver last time......

Qi Huaying sighed, summoned the maidservant, took out a thick stack of silver tickets from the table drawer and handed it to him: "Don't let my father know." ”

"Understand," Qi Yutai took the silver ticket and pinched it, his heart suddenly rejoiced, and he got up with a smile and said, "My sister is the best for me." ”

"Pei Yunyi's bastard doesn't know how to lift, and he is not worthy of my sister," he said: "Wait, in a few days, I will go to the hunting ground and ask someone to shoot you a snow-white little fox, you have fun, don't be unhappy." ”

Qi Huaying shook his head, only looked at his back and advised, "Brother took the silver, but don't take that medicine anymore." ”

"Of course, of course."

Qi Yutai said yes and walked out of the house with a smile.
