The dark green bottle contained small black pills, exuding a distinct medicinal fragrance.
Feng Qing was most impatient to see things related to medicine, and tossed them in her hands with a look of sadness, "Old Huang is here again?"
The old Huang in his mouth was the old doctor specially invited by Feng Mansion to treat Feng Qing. His surname was Huang, and his last name was only the word "Ji".
"Shit!" Lu Taotao sat on the back of the chair with his feet on the chair and said coquettishly: "I'm giving you the heart-protecting pill."
Feng Qing rolled her eyes and sneered: "Ang, you're here to apologize."
Lu Taotao jumped up, and the chair fell down in response. He put his hands on his hips and said, "Just give it back to me if you don't want it. There's so much nonsense."
Feng Qing took one and held it up to the light, "Let me see if poison has been sprinkled on it. Is it crane-top red or arsenic?"
"Yes, it would be best to poison you."
Feng Qing has been accustomed to taking medicine since he was a child. As the saying goes, a long-term illness makes a doctor, and he is familiar with some medicinal materials. He can tell that several rare medicinal materials have been added to it as soon as he smells it. This pill-making technique is beyond the reach of ordinary doctors.
"What did you say? Heart-protecting pill? Where did it come from?"
Lu Taotao frowned, an unnatural expression flashed across his face, "A blind man gave it to me."
Feng Qing rolled her eyes, "You said it was sent by ghosts, but I still believe it."
Lu Taotao turned around and kicked the foot of the chair that had fallen to the ground. The chair turned over. She sat down with her back to Feng Qing, muttering in her heart——
Knowing that she was pretending to be heartbroken, the man still gave her a bottle of heart-protecting pills. What would he be if he wasn't blind?
Feng Qing looked at her suspiciously, "What are you muttering about alone? Are you trying to murder me secretly?"
Lu Taotao pushed aside the thin braids that fell from her shoulders, rolled her big round eyes, and showed a somewhat mysterious expression, "Do you want to go hunting?"
Feng Qing yawned, "Why are you hunting? It's not the hunting season."
"Today is the day. All the children of the aristocratic families in Diqiu have participated, and Yunqi has also brought Lu Anran with him." Lu Taotao emphasized the key words with great scheming: "You are the only one missing."
Feng Qing put down her hands and sat up a little, "You said there was a hunting in Diqiu today?"
"Yeah." Lu Taotao crossed his arms and finally revealed the purpose of coming here today. He smiled and said, "Are you going?"

After leaving the city, the prince's men separated from the students. They wanted to search for the fierce bandit Red Beard in the mountains and deep forests, while the students arranged to hunt on the outer layer.
"Outskirts? I'm afraid I can't even hunt a roe deer." There was a student from the Wuzong who had planned to show off his skills, but was disappointed when he heard the designated range.
Others agreed: "We don't know the terrain. It's dangerous to rush in. It's better to be safe."
Lu Tong, who was inside, wiped his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that it was okay, otherwise he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to cope with it.
"Senior Brother Lu, is the wound okay?"
Lu Tong grabbed the horse rope and tilted his head, "It turns out to be Junior Sister Lu." He rubbed his face and said with a smile, "It's just a little bit of skin breakage, it's fine."
Lu Anran nodded, his eyes calmly moved away from his mouth where half of the teeth were missing, and he didn't say anything unnecessary. She just happened to see it and remembered that Senior Brother Lu had taken care of him a little bit, so she sent her greetings by the way.
That day in front of the Zhou family's house, Lu Tong fell face-on to the ground. His mouth was full of blood. In addition to his damaged face, the most important thing was that he had half of his teeth broken. He wanted to lose face and refused to say anything.
"Junior Sister Lu can also ride and hunt?"
"Slightly understood."
"Ah, I almost forgot. You people in the north grew up on horses, so riding and hunting is your specialty."
Lu Anran took another look at him and wondered why he started to talk more as soon as he left Jixia Palace.
The increase in phone calls on the road was actually because he was unsure. He had not intended to participate, but he couldn't bear the people from Wuzong mocking them as "weak scholars", so he was forced to come over by other Wen Zong students.
"It's just activities on the periphery, junior sister Lu doesn't need to worry."
Lu Anran looked at the sweat on his forehead under the sun and was silent, "Senior brother, the sweating is increasing. I'm afraid that the body is not fully recovered. It's better to rest more and don't force yourself."
Lu Tong watched Lu Anran go forward one by one, then patted himself on the head belatedly, "Yes, I am still injured, so there is no need to rush to the front."
When they arrived at the watershed, everyone dismounted and rested. Nangong Zhi took a map of Diqiu Mountain and marked it with his hands, "You should stay around this area and don't exceed this limit. Return to the original place before the sun sets."
Lu Anran took a sip of water from the kettle from the horse. When he tightened the lid, Yun Qi walked over leisurely, put his ear behind her ear and asked, "Wu Fang are following you?"
"Um."
"I won't follow you. Please be careful. Have you found a good companion?"
Lu Anran's eyes met Meng Shizhao, and Yunqi saw it and chuckled, "That's right, there is no one else except her."
It's a joke that she doesn't even have a close friend in Jixia Palace.
The two of them stood together and chatted casually, which looked like a completely different scene to others.
Du Man looked over there in a daze, until Yang Xueer called her. At the same time, Yang Xueer also saw it, and then said scornfully: "It's shameless to hang out in public. As expected, they are people from the wilderness who don't respect etiquette."
"Xue'er, don't say that, Prince Yun, he..."
Yang Xueer glanced at her sideways: "Du Man, aren't you attracted to Yun Qi?"
Du Man's face turned red, "No, don't talk nonsense."
"Based on the appearance, Yun Qi looks very good, but it's a pity that he is an idiot without knowledge and skills." Yang Xueer's tone was somewhat contemptuous.
Du Man tugged on Yang Xueer's sleeve, "Prince Yun is like a person in heaven to me, why do you have to belittle him for my sake."
Yang Xueer glanced down and sighed in her heart. This Du Man seemed to think too highly of her, and said: "He is not a banished immortal. Nangong Shaofu's talents and strategies are rare in the world."
"Shh!" Du Man was nervous and winked at Yang Xueer, "Princess Ding'an is here."
Yang Xueer turned her head and looked into Princess Ding'an's cold eyes. She couldn't help but shudder, but she was not convinced and insisted: "The emperor has not issued an order, and the young assistant has no intention of her. He is acting like a lady." Who should I show it to?"
Even so, I dare not say too much. No one in the capital city knows that Princess Ding'an is a petty person.
As for Princess Ding'an, she obviously realized something from Yang Xueer's eyes. Her red lips curled up coldly, and the riding whip was wrapped around her palm. Her eyes were sinister - wait until she has finished taking care of Lu Anran before she comes to take care of this little bitch. !

The hills are scattered in a patchwork manner. During the period when the Eighteen Waves of Yuyue are scattered, if you look down from above, it will be a beautiful sight.
It's a pity that Lu Anran couldn't feel it when he was there. The grass vegetation was lush, the trees were towering, and the sunlight penetrated through the gaps. It was possible to walk, but the view was not good.
The two of them were together, but Meng Shizhao was absent-minded. Although she saw through her father's hypocrisy and favoritism, she secretly made up her mind, but as the daughter of the Meng family, she couldn't even control her own life, let alone other things.
She despises the intrigues in the backyard, but she can't get rid of it. Just like where she is now, she can't get out no matter what.
"I want to confess something to you." Lu Anran drove his horse to her side, looked sideways and said, "I overheard your conversation with Master Meng this morning."
Meng Shizhao pushed away the irritability in his mind, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled lightly: "You are really so honest when you know that both of you are embarrassed when you say it."
Lu Anran lowered his eyes slightly, as if it wasn't embarrassing enough, and said, "And the last two times you and Meng Zhi met, I happened to be there too."
Meng Shizhao was really startled, and then his expression became complicated when he thought about it.
The mountain wind blew on Lu Anran's face, and the brocade cloth floated. Her eyes were dark and calm, as clean and bright as washed by water, "I don't mean to offend, I just happened to meet you. I am telling you today because I think that although it was not intentional, in the end I’m sorry to hear about your family affairs.”
After a while, Meng Shizhao recovered, his smile turned sarcastic, he looked forward and said, "Sisters don't get along, father and daughter quarrel, it makes you laugh."
Lu Anran shook his head and said in a calm tone: "The various forms of human nature and the various tastes are all part of life."
Meng Shizhao couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw Lu Anran was so calm, with no curiosity in her expression, and no desire to ask further questions. She was arrogant and didn't want to expose the messy affairs of her family to others for discussion.
"I'm talking about this today because there is something I think I should tell you after thinking about it." At this point, Lu Anran paused, and then continued: "Your sister has had contact with Prince Pingyang Hou, and the carriage in his house I once stopped at the back entrance of Chengjun Academy."
Although Lu Anran said it implicitly, Meng Shizhao and others immediately understood the key to it. His face suddenly changed, turning red and white, and he gritted his teeth, feeling secretly resentful in his heart.
Good on you Meng Zhi! She only said that she, a concubine, got too close to Pingyang Hou Shizi at various banquets, and they kept flirting with each other. She didn't know that she actually dared to act secretly!
It was rumored that she had a tryst with her husband in a saintly place like the academy, and her reputation as a member of the Meng family was gone!
Meng Shizhao was trembling with anger and tightened the reins. He could hardly sit still on the horse, but he still gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger. He nodded to Lu Anran with the etiquette that aristocratic girls had been taught since childhood, "Thank you for telling me this. Since I helped you once, let’s settle these two matters.”
There is no need to speak too plainly between smart people. Lu Anran understood that this reconciliation included keeping secrets for the Meng family, "Well, no matter what the reason, I won't tell."
Meng Shizhao still trusted Lu Anran's character, and felt that it was Lu Anran who was lucky. Who knew that Lu Anran's next words made her expression change again.
"But the person who had tea with me that day was Su Zhi."
Su Zhi did not come this time, leaving Su Guoguan in the house, sighing at the books on the wall all day long. Instead of being swayed by the aroma of books, every book on the table was stained with his saliva.
I just dozed off today and sneezed violently. I couldn't stop sneezing. I sneezed more than a dozen times in a row. I rubbed my nose and said feebly to the waiter: "Look, it's boring without me." They miss me in Diqiu."
Meng Shizhao didn't miss this young master Su. If possible, she hoped that this young master would kick people's brains and cause them to lose their memory overnight.
Lu Anran just wanted to comfort her. Although she was not very familiar with Su Zhi, the powerful family had its own set of standards for doing things. In addition, Su Guogong was famously upright, and the descendants from such a family would not know much about it. How bad.
But before she could say anything, Meng Shizhao was so lost in thought that the reins in his hands unknowingly pulled tighter and tighter. The horse's neck was strangled, and the horse leaned back as hard as it could, kicked off its two front hooves, and suddenly rushed out.
Lu Anran was startled and shouted: "Hold on tight and don't let go!"
