Chapter 220 Cherish

 The lights in the palace were brightly lit all night long.

The death of a person during the ceremony was an ominous sign. The emperor and the queen mother were furious. Although they did not know how Qi Yutai got into the belly of the "God of Plague", everyone in the Jiaofang, the Ministry of Rites, and the Qintian Prison were interrogated all night long.

 The most difficult thing to deal with is the Qi family.

 The grand master lost his son and was both a sufferer and a sinner.

Leaded by the third prince and Chen Guogong, a group of people bluntly stated that Qi Yutai's failure to attend the ceremony and his death at the hands of his own father was a punishment from heaven, and that the entire Qi family should suffer a serious crime. The prince's faction insisted that Qi Yutai's death had a hidden reason, but was actually the result of an adulterer.

There were endless quarrels in the palace, and the bloodstains by the Changle Pond had been cleaned up.

The first thing Pei Yunying did after leaving the palace was to go to the Medical Officer's Hospital.

Lin Danqing was surprised at the sudden appearance of Pei Yunying: "Sister Lu? You will go back to West Street after noon today."

“I said I have some medical books left at the hospital and I will go back to pick them up and I will be back early tomorrow morning.”

Pei Yunying frowned.

Lin Danqing looked at him: "What's the matter, Pei Dianshuai, do you have something important to do with Sister Lu?"

Pei Yunying asked: "Is there anything wrong with Lu Chen today?"

Lin Danqing thought for a while: "No, it's the same as usual. Something happened last night, but luckily she wasn't affected. She even swept the floor before leaving in the afternoon."

Pei Yun stood there with a stern look on his face and said nothing for a moment.

For some reason, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

　　After leaving the palace and going to the Medical Officer's Hospital, Xiao Zhufeng laughed at him: "Are you in such a hurry to say hello?"

　　Qi Yutai died in the hands of Qi Qing. Cause and effect followed, and the great revenge was avenged. It was a happy event. Anyone familiar with the situation would think that Lu Zhen should be extremely happy at this moment.

 But Pei Yunying's intuition was wrong.

 When he was in the palace, he always thought of the scene when he saw Lu Yun by the orchestra pool last night.

 She stood under the fireworks with a smile on her lips.

 The calm, relieved smile made people suddenly feel panic.

 She is leaving, leaving.

 Lin Danqing's voice came to his ears: "Pei Dianshuai?"

Pei Yunying came to her senses and said to her: "If Lu Zhu comes back, remember to inform the palace commander immediately."

Lin Danqing was puzzled, but still nodded.

Pei Yunying quickly turned around, got on his horse, and whipped towards West Street.

 …

 In front of a large and wealthy house, lanterns were swaying.

Lu Zhen stopped in front of the gate of Taishi Mansion.

Autumn is cold and cold, and the front door of Taishi's Mansion is not as lively as before. The ground is deserted and frosty. There was a faint sound of crying coming from the depths of the mansion, vaguely present, spreading a layer of desolate horror in the cold and dark night.

Lu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the closed red door, the corners of his lips raised slightly.

 Qi Yutai is dead.

During the Nuo ceremony, in front of everyone, with fireworks filling the sky, and at the feet of the emperor, he died violently, like a bird imprisoned in a cage, unable to avoid or escape, and finally turned into a puddle of flesh under his father's sword.

very nice.

 He should have died long ago.

It’s not in vain that she has worked so hard these days.

She tried every possible means to enter the medical hospital, get close to Jin Xianrong, and lure Cui Min into taking the bait. Step by step, she finally reached Qi Yutai's side.

 The "Dream of Spring Grass in the Pond" lured Qi Yutai into stimulating drug addiction. From then on, the "Lingxi Incense" burning in the Taishi Mansion was completely ineffective on him. From the beginning of the Fengle Building fire, Qi Yutai's drug addiction seemed to have been flooded, and it was difficult to recover.

Then, the prescription she gave to Cui Min made Qi Yutai repeat it. When she came to Qi Yutai, she gave him the medicine powder instead of Hanshi Powder every day...

That is actually not a substitute medicine powder, it is simply Hanshi Powder.

She only used poison to suppress the properties of Hanshi Powder, which made Qi Yutai feel that the medicine was not as effective as it was when it was applied to his body.

 After the fire in Fengle Tower, Shengjing could no longer find cold food.

 But Lu Yan can do it.

Some poisons, but not all require scorpions, centipedes, poisonous spiders.

After Qi Yutai took Hanshi Powder continuously for a period of time, her drug addiction became increasingly difficult to control. She stopped him from taking the medicine for a few days in the name of being searched by the Taishi Mansion before the festival, and Qi Yutai almost collapsed.

At this time, during the Nuo ceremony, Lu Zhen handed the package of cold food powder without adding any poison to Qi Yutai's hands.

Qi Yutai couldn't control himself.

 He could not resist the temptation.

It only takes a stick of incense to restore consciousness to the usual medicinal powder. However, the packet of cold food powder she handed to Qi Yutai took an entire hour for the medicinal properties to gradually dissipate.

What's more, the Nuo ceremony was held an hour earlier last night.

 From beginning to end, she never thought about making Qi Yutai go crazy.

 How does a madman stand trial? He will lose all memory. As long as the people around him follow him and let him go, perhaps even the panic will gradually dissipate.

 Qi Yutai must die.

 And die sober.

 It’s the father’s fault if he doesn’t teach him. This is a truth that even a three-year-old child understands.

In order to protect her son, Qi Qing buried the heinous crimes committed by Qi Yutai one by one. She wanted to add a touch of blood to this earth-shattering relationship between father and son. Let Qi Qing kill the son he protected with his own hands, and let Qi Yutai die in the hands of the father who protected him.

 Father and son kill each other.

 The smile on Lu Zong's face faded.

Qi Yutai's death was mysterious. Qi Qing will definitely investigate it thoroughly. He may not be able to grasp the clue, but he will definitely doubt himself.

He doesn't have to find evidence or verify whether it's true or false. He can kill her just by doubting it.

Lu Yan raised her hand and carefully touched the black gold paper butterflies on the two hairpins in her hair. She had not worn such a pretty decoration for a long time, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

Then, she took back her hand, continued to hold the lantern, walked to the red door, and gently clicked the animal-faced door cymbal on the door.

There was silence outside the door. After a while, the door was slowly opened. The concierge was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Xu.

 “The medical officer of the lower official hospital, Lu Huo,” Lu Huo said, “If you have anything important to do, please see Mr. Qi.”

The porter looked at her suspiciously, and seeing that she was alone, he opened the door wider and asked her to come in.

Lu Zhen followed the concierge and walked in. Just as he was about to step through the door, he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist. A hand stretched out from the side, held her wrist firmly, and pulled her back.

Lu Zhen turned around and said, "Pei Yunying?"

 The concierge was also surprised for a moment.

Pei Yunying had a stern face and said nothing. His cold eyes swept over the concierge, and he suddenly said: "Let's go."

Lu Zhen was about to struggle, but his strength was surprisingly strong. She was almost dragged away, her steps staggering and she could hardly keep up with him.

 “Let me go.” She shouted.

Pei Yunying pushed her into the carriage with an expressionless expression, and Lu Zhu could actually hear a hint of gnashing of teeth in his tone.

"Quiet."

 …

 The night is getting deeper.

The thick ink color is endless.

 Qingfeng and a few people were the only ones guarding the door of the Palace Commander's Mansion. With a "bang" sound and chaotic footsteps, the door was kicked open and someone dragged someone in.

Lu Zhuo was thrown into the room. Without saying a word, he walked towards the door with a cold face, but Pei Yunying blocked the door.

His eyes flashed with anger for a moment, but suddenly became calm, as if he was suppressing anger.

 “Where to go?”

 “What does it have to do with you?”

After Lu Zhen finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and tried to push him over, but the other person stood like a solid stone at the door. No matter how hard she tried, her head remained motionless.

 “What do you mean, Commander-in-Chief?” Finally, she said coldly.

Pei Yunying lowered his head and stared into her eyes.

 “What are you going to do when you go to Taishi Mansion?”

 Lu Yan was silent.

 He said: "Speak!"

 “Qi Yutai is dead, I’m going to get the medical records.” Lu Zhu raised his head, “What’s going on?”

 “Get the medical record?”

Pei Yunying nodded and suddenly grabbed her wrist.

The wrist is slender and white, and the slender and soft fingers are as tender as the tips of onions, with light pink cinnamon dotted between them, like slightly blooming flowers.

 He held Lu's hand and asked aggressively: "What is this?"

 Lu Zhen was silent.

He sneered, grabbed her hand and grabbed it between the back of his hand.

Lu Zhen was startled and backed away suddenly. In panic, he pushed him away and said sternly: "Don't touch me!"

Pei Yunying was pushed back two steps by her. His deep black eyes seemed to understand everything, and he looked at her quietly.

 Lu Zhen clenched his fists.

She never applies kodan. To pound medicine, sort herbs, and apply acupuncture, she needs a pair of clean hands that are easy to work with.

But she carefully applied a touch of Danko on her hands to hide the blood-sealing poison in her fingernails. Unexpectedly, Pei Yunying saw it out at a glance.

 Actually, it’s not just her nails, her hairpins, her sleeves, and her bags are all filled with all kinds of poisons.

“You want to die together with Qi Qing.” Pei Yunying said.

 He looked at the person in front of him.

Lu Zong put on a brand new dress, which was fresh and jade-colored, like a freshly blooming spring flower. The two yellow butterflies trembling in the hair add a bit of charm to the flower. There is no longer the usual loneliness and indifference, and she looks like a well-dressed returning girl, with elegant clothes and pretty eyebrows.

 But that kind of calm desolation is very desolate.

Like a person approaching a quagmire step by step, no other scenery can be seen in his eyes. There was silence in the house for a long time.

Candlelight flows silently in the night. When it turns on people, the light also takes on a layer of coldness.

Lu Zhen stood in the candle-colored shadow for a long time, then raised his head.

 “The palace commander is not the third prince’s son, right?” she said.

Pei Yun’s eyes flashed.

“At Huangmaogang Hunting Ground, the prince and the third prince were assassinated at the same time. Your Majesty suppressed and punished the prince, so that the third prince got the upper hand.”

"The Privy Council and the Palace Chief are sworn enemies, but you are extremely familiar with the affairs of the Privy Council. You and Yan Xu are not rivals at all, but secret allies. The separation of military power is just to reassure the emperor."

Pei Yunying said nothing.

 “I’m not denying it. I guessed it right?”

She laughed and stepped forward: "The Privy Council is obviously a supporter of the prince, but it has private contacts with the palace minister. You two are neither loyal to the third prince, nor to the prince, nor to your majesty."

 “Who are you loyal to?”

She approached him, looked up at the person in front of her, and spoke softly.

"Prince Ning, is he the one you want to recommend to the throne?"

Pei Yunying lowered his eyes and looked at her indifferently.

"There seems to be a lack of a reason to elect Prince Ning to the throne." Lu Zhuo's voice became softer and softer: "I have a way to get the best of both worlds. Do you want to hear it?"

The two yellow butterflies in her hair seemed to shimmer under the light, light and fragile, as if they would break at a touch. Although his words were gentle and clear, his eyes had a flash of madness.

"Your Highness, why don't you make a deal with me?" She smiled and said, "If I can successfully kill Qi Qing tonight, I will tell the world that I am a member of Yuan Yao. It was the third prince who asked me to do this."

"Or, if I kill Qi Qing and you come to arrest me again, I can be your credit. If you kill me yourself and claim credit from Yuan Yao, you can gain his trust."

“As a deal, you will protect Renxin Medical Center for me.”

The light and shadow swayed, and there was deathly silence on all sides.

Pei Yunying stood in front of her, his eyes calm and indifferent.

 “Is this your plan?”

"You kill Qi Qing and eliminate the last hidden danger for them. Once something happens in the future, everyone in Renxin Medical Center can escape without any worries."

Lu Zong just looked at him, and for the first time, his voice softened towards him.

"Isn't it good? This will be good for you and me."

She raised her head and touched the gold-embroidered eagle pattern on the young man's chest with her fingertips. He came out of the palace with his official uniform still on. The brilliant and gorgeous gold-embroidered pattern actually felt a bit cold to the touch, like a secret and subtle secret. The scars are engraved in the bottom of my heart unknown to anyone.

"If he succeeds, he will ascend to a high position in the future, and the palace commander will definitely gain a lot from Conglong's merits." She said, her tone seemed to be bewitching, "No matter what you want to do, you have the right to choose everything. Don't you want to go there?" Climb up?”

 He said: "I care about you more."

　　　 Lu Tong.

 The young man looked down at her and said calmly: "Lu Huan, I like you more."

As if he couldn't bear the deeper things in his eyes, and was burned by the brightness and magnificence, Lu Yan withdrew his hand and said coldly: "I already know all your secrets, why don't you kill me?"

 Only the dead keep secrets.

Pei Yunying looked at her: "Don't always think about death."

 Lu Zong's heart trembled.

“If your family is still alive, they will only hope that you live well.”

 Lu Zhen interrupted him: "But I don't want to live!"

Pei Yun paused.

 “Your Majesty, I am different from you.”

 She spoke word by word, and with each word, the sadness overflowed from deeper in her heart.

"You have a sister and a treasure, and your father is still alive. Whether you love him or hate him, he is still tied to the world."

"but I do not have."

She looked up at him and said, "Revenge is over, I have done what I have to do, that's all."

 She couldn't make Pei Yunying understand many things.

 She should be a dead person, she should have been a dead person long ago, revenge is the breath she forced to stay in the world. This tone has sustained her till now.

Now, this breath has dissipated.

 She had no support and just wanted to fall.

Pei Yunying hopes she lives.

 But even she herself didn’t know how to live.

 It would be better to use this ruined life to exert some value in the end.

"what about me?"

 In the quiet room, Pei Yunying's voice suddenly sounded.

The young man looked at her, his dark eyes without any warmth, and said calmly: "You take care of everything, consider everything, and protect everyone at Renxin Medical Center with all your heart. You know my feelings for you, but you want me to watch you die."

 “Have you never considered me?”

 Lu Zhen's face turned pale.

 Have you never considered it?

 Why did you do this to him?

She understood Pei Yunying's feelings for her, and it was precisely because of this that she was sure that he would always be intolerant at times when he was surly and indifferent, so she felt free to leave everything in the future of Renxin Medical Center to him.

Let Yin Zheng hand over the letter to Pei Yunying to fill in the final words of the Renxin Medical Center. She carefully considered all the potential dangers and entrusted him with all the unfinished matters.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yunying found her first and took her away before the letter was delivered to the other party.

 He can always see through her intentions immediately.

 The lights are shining and the light is lingering.

The woman stubbornly refused to lower her head, her eyes were calm and frantic, like the wind that would blow somewhere unknown.

The young man looked at her silently for a long time, then sighed, as if he had finally lost the battle, and pulled her over to the table in the room to sit down.

 He poured a cup of hot tea and put it into Lu Yan's hand. He said in a gentle voice, "The great revenge has been avenged. Your parents, brothers and sisters are alive in heaven. All I want to see is that you are safe and happy."

"Doctor Lu." The young man was silent for a moment before continuing: "You must learn to cherish yourself. If you can't do it, let others do it."

Lu Zong was in a trance for a moment.

He was sitting in front of her, obviously looking affectionate, but many times he was ruthless and indifferent. When she gradually accepted that he was a ruthless person, it gave her a glimpse of a little tenderness beneath the ruthlessness.

The warmth of the hot tea in her hand gradually spread to her palm through the cup. Lu Yan's hand holding the cup tightened and he suddenly brushed it away.

The warm tea rolled down to the floor, and the white porcelain fell into pieces. There was a crisp sound, and the spring picture carefully painted on the cup was instantly shattered.

Pei Yunying paused, and his eyes passed over the remaining lamp on the ground. He was not angry at all. He only glanced at her and smiled tolerantly.

“The person Qing Feng inquired about said that Miss Lu San from Changwu County had a very bad temper when she was a child. I thought it was a lie. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

　　Lu Yan was indifferent: "Why did you stop me?"

 “I don’t want you to die.”

 “I just want to kill him.”

 “I’ll do it for you.”

 He said calmly: "I will kill Qi Qing for you."

 He said it in an understatement, as if he was just mentioning it casually, but Lu Zhen knew that he was not joking.

A familiar dull pain hit her chest. She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Yunying, her expression unmoved.

 “I don’t trust anyone.”

 “But you can trust me.”

 “Lu Huan,” he said every word, “you can trust me.”

The deeper night surged in from the window, but stopped suddenly in front of the lights in the house. The weak light that seemed to be extinguished at the next moment was stubbornly glowing with warmth, clearly separating everything around it.

 She was wrapped in this safe light.

He spoke: "Even if you hate me, even if you don't care about my feelings, don't you care about the other people in Renxin Medical Center?"

“Yin Zheng, Du Changqing, Miao Liangfang, Acheng, Lin Danqing, Ji Xun…”

 Every time he said a name, Lu Zhuo's heart trembled.

“Are you really willing to leave all this behind and have no nostalgia for these people and things?”

 Lu Zhen was silent.

 Many pictures appeared in front of my eyes, good and bad, like a slowly unfolding picture scroll, some were blurred, and some were still clear.

She lowered her eyes and heard her own indifferent voice.

"I want to go back."

 Him was not impressed by him at all.

　　What answered her was a colder voice from the other party.

"no."

Lu Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Pei Yunying.

 He stood up, walked to the door and stopped, tilted his head slightly, and said in a calm tone: "I will guard you until you give up this idea. If you don't want to see me, find someone else."

The young man stood up, pushed the door open and walked out. Outside the door, Qingfeng Chijian stepped forward. Pei Yunying ordered: "Keep her safe and don't let her go out. If anything goes wrong, you two will be the only ones to ask questions."

 The two of them did not dare to be careless: "Yes."

 He picked up the saber on the table, turned around and went out. Chi Jian asked: "It's so late, where are you going, sir?"

Pei Yunying didn't even look back.

 “Taishi’s Mansion.”
