At night, when Lu Xingyue came back from the study, he saw Zhou Quan waiting in the corridor, the paper lantern swaying, dragging his shadow very long.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Xingyue climbed up the steps, holding a food box in his hand.
Zhou Quan looked at him curiously and asked, "Master, didn't you have enough for dinner?"
Lu Xingyue glanced at him and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, go back to Jinyiwei."
Zhou Quan immediately took out a book from his sleeve pocket and held it up with both hands, "Master, please read it."
Lu Xingyue didn't answer, "Medical book? Where did it come from?"
Zhou Quan lowered his voice and said, "It was sent by the guys from Zangzhu Pavilion. They said it was given to them by the miracle doctor and asked them to hand it over to the Marquis."
Lu Xingyue frowned, "A miracle doctor?"
Cangzhu Pavilion is Shen Lansui's jewelry shop. Why did the miracle doctor send the book there? Because that's where Shen Lansui lived?
He turned countless corners in his mind, but Lu Xingyue didn't show any signs of it on his face. He changed the food box to another hand, took the medical book and carried it into the inner room.
Shen Lansui was leaning on the couch, holding a book and reading with interest. There were several porcelain plates on the small table, and most of the snacks on them were missing.
"despair."
Lu Xingyue put the food box on the small table, but Shen Lansui had no reaction.
When he opened the lid and the rich fragrance floated out, Shen Lansui immediately raised his eyes, "It smells so good——"
Lu Xingyue smiled, "The newly stewed beef in the kitchen is very soft and delicious. Do you want to try it?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Shen Lansui nodded, immediately threw the script aside, stood up and walked over to the side table, watching eagerly as Lu Xingyue took the porcelain cup out of the food box.
It's steaming hot and has a strong fragrance, which makes people's index fingers move when they smell it.
She put aside everything else on the small table and helped Lu Xingyue place the porcelain plates. Lu Xingyue handed her the chopsticks: "You eat first."
"What about you?" Shen Lansui was just wondering when he saw him roll up his sleeves and take out a familiar medical book.
Lu Xingyue put the book on the table, frowned and said, "I went to see the miracle doctor today. She behaved in many strange ways. I sent someone to deliver this book in the evening. It was delivered by the clerk in your shop."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Lansui, his eyes somewhat inquiring.
Shen Lansui immediately showed a worried expression, "Did something happen to her? It's a coincidence that I didn't go to the Cangzhu Pavilion today, otherwise I should have brought this book back."
Lu Xingyue nodded gently, and before he could speak, Shen Lansui hurriedly said, "Open it quickly and see what's inside?"
Her expression looked natural at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be more nervous.
Lu Xingyue was born in Fusi, Beizhen, and was best at torture. He usually dealt with all kinds of tough guys. Shen Lansui's acting skills were good at deceiving others, but they were not enough in front of Lu Xingyue.
He followed the instructions and casually opened the first page of the medical book and asked casually: "Since she wanted to convey the news, why didn't she write a letter instead of using such a roundabout method?"
As he said this, he picked up the medical book and shook it, but there was nothing in it.
Shen Lansui said sarcastically: "Maybe he is afraid that the letter will be too obvious. If someone intercepts it, wouldn't it be exposed?"
Of course, this is only one of them, the other is... her handwriting is really ugly, unique, unique, and unforgettable. Lu Xingyue will definitely recognize it if he sees it, so isn't she falling off the horse?
Although she didn't plan to hide it from Lu Xingyue forever, it was not the time yet.
Lu Xingyue nodded understandingly, "The miracle doctor is very thoughtful."
Shen Lansui wiped his sweat silently.
In fact, she hadn't thought about talking to Lu Xingyue, because it was the easiest and most convenient. But there were people inside and outside the jewelry store. If you just ask anyone, you would know who came and who didn't come that day. If she told Lu Xingyue that it was the miracle doctor who told him Yes, he must ask where she said it. As soon as she mentioned the Pearl Pavilion, he sent someone to investigate. Well, the lady has never been here at all, so the lie will be self-defeating, right?
Taking a step back, the miracle doctor could tell the clerk to come to the Duke's Mansion to find someone, but this would test the clerk's loyalty and brain too much, and is far less convenient than sending the book directly.
In addition, the situation was urgent at the time, and Shen Lansui needed a chance to get rid of his informant, so he had no choice but to make this decision.
At this time, when she thought about it, she felt that it was not appropriate. There were loopholes everywhere, but the matter had come to this, and she could only take advantage of it.
Lu Xingyue flipped through a few pages and suddenly saw a word circled.
He paused his fingers and said, "There is a medicine..."
"What do you mean?" Shen Lansui's eyes flashed slightly, "If you scroll further, do you want to connect them?"
Lu Xingyue raised his eyes and glanced at her.
Shen Lansui smiled guiltily, "What's wrong?"
Lu Xingyue tapped his slender fingertips on the small table, "It will get cold if you don't eat it."
"Oh, eat." Shen Lansui picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of beef on the white porcelain plate, and took a bite absentmindedly, "Hmm!"
The flavor of the meat is brought to the extreme, it is mellow and soft, rich in layers, and extremely delicious!
Even though she was so upset now, Shen Lansui couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. She stared at Lu Xingyue while eating.
Lu Xingyue felt funny in his heart, but his hand moved faster and faster. He turned through a few pages and saw another mark, "Ginseng."
Thinking of something, he turned around, took out a pen and paper, and wrote down these two points.
After that, every time he reached a mark, he wrote it down on the paper. When there were no more marks, he flipped through the book again to make sure nothing was missed, and then he picked up the paper and read it.
"There is a medicine, ginseng, that you should remember. After you are overjoyed and when preparing a prescription, give water..."
Lu Xingyue muttered to himself, and when Shen Lansui saw his frown, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Show me."
"Yeah." He handed the paper over, and Shen Lansui pretended to be thoughtful. After a moment, his eyes lit up, "I know!"
She picked up the pen and carefully circled the first word of each group of words, and read as she circled: "Someone wants to harm you, so let me poison you and destroy your legs. The person today is here to supervise me." , when I poisoned you, I also detoxified you, their poison has no effect on me, I won’t harm you, I hope you will be more careful.”
Lu Xingyue's expression suddenly changed, "Gu insect?"
Shen Lansui was stunned for a moment. She thought Lu Xingyue's first reaction was that someone was trying to destroy his legs. How could it be a Gu insect?
"The poisonous bugs are so sinister, how can they not be effective against the miracle doctor?" Lu Xingyue's eyes were as dark as a whirlpool, "Is it really ineffective or is she deliberately concealing it?"
His tone was too hasty and his expression was too gloomy, as if he was on the verge of rage. Shen Lansui had never seen him so angry before. She was a little confused for a moment. She put down her pen, pressed the paper and said: "Since the miracle doctor can't say it will be effective, then what?" It just doesn’t work. Why did she lie to us? Do you suspect that she really colluded with those people and said this to win your trust? "
It was okay if she didn't say it, but when she did, Lu Xingyue's face turned even darker, "Do you think I doubt her?"
Lu Xingyue: Madam doesn’t believe me and is angry╰_╯
