Lamp Flower Smile

When Lu Zhen entered the room, the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

Pei Yunying and Ji Xun stood on opposite sides of the bamboo table. They didn't know what they had just said, and there seemed to be a subtle stalemate in their expressions.

Hearing the movement, the two looked towards her.

Lu Zhen entered the room, and Ji Xun raised his hand to her: "Medical Officer Lu, I have something to tell you."

Lu Zhuo nodded: "Okay."

Ji Xun looked at Pei Yunying again, "Can Mr. Pei please stay away temporarily?"

Pei Yunying looked at Lu Zhuo.

Lu Zhu then said: "Master Pei, please go out first."

Pei Yunying frowned, stared at her for a moment, laughed as if she was angry, and left the door without saying a word, closing the door behind her, looking a little unhappy.

Lu Xu was looking at his back when he heard Ji Xun say from behind: "Medical Officer Lu, sit down and talk."

"good."

The two sat down in front of the bamboo table.

The room was quiet, and the breeze coming through the window blew away some of the summer dryness. Lu Yan looked at Ji Xun.

She didn't know what Ji Xun wanted to say to her, but she could probably guess some of his intentions.

Sure enough, she just picked up the teacup and the teapot and was about to pour tea when she heard Ji Xun in front of her say: "Is there any hidden reason behind your suspension?"

Lu Zhen's movement of pouring tea paused, and then quickly continued pouring tea: "Medical Officer Ji should have heard about it."

"It is indeed against the rules to look at the medicine list at will, but the real reason for your suspension should be to accuse Yuanshi Cui of plagiarizing medicine prescriptions."

"Accusation?"

Lu Yan pushed the tea cup in front of Ji Xun: "Isn't it a false accusation?"

Ji Xun took the tea cup, was silent for a moment, and said, "I have read your prescription."

"What?"

"After the Spring Examination of the Imperial Medical Bureau, I have read the test papers of all the students on the red list. Your ten prescriptions all have shortcomings, but they are also subtle. If they are improved, they may not be life-saving prescriptions."

Ji Xun said: "It was only after I returned to the Medical Officer's Hospital that I learned about your suspension. Zhuling asked the medical officer at that time and added more medicinal materials according to what you later said. I have read the prescription and it is indeed effective in treating epilepsy."

Lu Yan blinked, and an unbelievable thought came to his mind.

"Does Medical Officer Ji think I was wronged? Do you believe what I said that the hospital envoy plagiarized my prescription?"

Lu Chen was very surprised.

Ji Xun is a gentleman who distinguishes between public and private affairs, but he is also rigid and formal. No one will be biased or misunderstood because of personal relationships. But her lame "report" was full of loopholes. With Ji Xun's past careful verification, he should not have said such a thing.

The woman's eyes were bright, and she looked at him with genuine doubts, which made Ji Xun feel uncomfortable for a moment.

After calming down, he said: "Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence. It's really impossible to judge based on your few words. The most important thing is that it is not yet known whether Mr. Qi is epileptic. Only the hospital administrator can read Mr. Qi's medical records. arrive."

Lu Zhu nodded: "There are rumors outside that Mr. Qi is just frightened."

Whether Qi Yutai was frightened or crazy, no one in the Medical Academy knew except Cui Min. This was also the most important reason why Lu Yun was suspended.

"I didn't understand before, but now I know that it is a hundred times more difficult for an ordinary medical officer to act in the imperial city than I imagined." Ji Xun looked at her, "I came today just to tell you. Mr. Qi's matter may not be possible for the time being. I still want to clear your name, but I will explain to the hospital envoy that you will definitely be allowed to return to the medical hospital after three months."

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

These words were a bit out of line for Ji Xun, who pursues fairness.

"Back when Su Nan and his party came, I once said that if you came to the Shengjing Imperial Medical Bureau, I would take care of you. But you did not come to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and I still misunderstood you a lot. Now that you have entered the Medical Officials' Hospital, if you encounter injustice I feel wronged and I can’t just sit back and watch.”

Ji Xun sighed, lowered his head again, and took out several exquisite porcelain bottles from the cloth bag.

Lu Zhuo's eyes fell on the porcelain bottle.

"This is……"

"Shenxian Jade Muscle Cream." He said: "When you return to West Street, it is not convenient to get medicine from time to time. I made some new ones for you. There is no need to be frugal. Your injuries should be cared for more carefully to avoid scars in the future. "

Lu Zhuo's fingers froze.

There are five or six porcelain bottles in a row in front of them. This elixir, which is also difficult to find among the nobles in the palace, is now piled up in front of them like cabbage, which actually looks a bit ridiculous.

It's a pity that it doesn't work for her at all...

After swallowing the complicated feeling in his heart, Lu Yan looked at Ji Xun and said "Thank you" sincerely.

"Medical Officer Ji," she said, "I may have accused the envoy of the hospital because I was too presumptuous and made random accusations without seeking evidence. If it is indeed my fault, the envoy of the hospital should be punished and suspended."

"This matter ends here. Medical Officer Ji has nothing to do with this matter. There is no need to worry about me in the future. After three months, Lu Yuan will accept whatever arrangements the hospital envoy will make."

She looked at the jade skin creams.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhuo raised his head, smiled slightly and said, "As for these plasters, since they are Dr. Ji's only wish, I would be disrespectful to reject them."

Ji Xun frowned and listened to her words. When he heard the last sentence, his frown relaxed a little.

"That's fine," he nodded: "After Huang Maogang was injured, you should have rested more. During these three months, you should recuperate in West Street."

Lu Zhuo nodded.

Ji Xun stood up.

"It's getting late. I have to go to the palace in the evening. It's inconvenient to stay longer. I'll take my leave."

He cupped his hands at Lu Zhuo and then stood up to leave. When I was about to go out, I saw a young man sitting against the wall in the shade under the tree. When I saw him coming out, I smiled and nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Strangely enough, the conductor spoke kindly and smiled brightly, but for some reason, Ji Xun always seemed to be able to see a bit of indifference under the friendly expression.

It's like he doesn't like himself very much.

He paused, bowed his hand to Pei Yunying, and left.

…

In the room, Lu Yan was sitting in front of the bamboo table.

The tea was still warm on the table. She looked at the row of exquisite porcelain bottles on the bamboo table and was lost in thought for a while.

Leaving the medical hospital went very smoothly. In such a happy situation, who would have thought that Ji Xun would intervene midway.

Ji Xun is a man of integrity, and if he really investigates Cui Min for her suspension, it may easily cause more trouble.

Lu Tong rubbed his forehead and heart, suddenly feeling a bit of a headache.

Is it overacting?

Even Ji Xun felt compassion.

Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Yunying's voice came from behind.

"He is quite generous, giving you so many secret medicines."

Lu Chen turned around.

Pei Yunying walked to the bamboo table and sat down. Her eyes passed over the teacup that Ji Xun had used on the table. She snorted lightly, brushed the teacup aside, and got a new teacup.

Lu Yan watched his movements and felt that this action seemed familiar. When the tailor shop on West Street raised a large yellow circle, he would also urinate around the grass.

He noticed Lu Zhen's eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Lu Zhuo shook his head: "The Commander-in-Chief has something to say to me?"

The celebration banquet at the medical center has ended, but he is still lingering here, mysterious and not knowing what to say.

The person in front of me brought a pot and poured tea, "I have been busy for a few days. As soon as I returned to the Palace Commander's Mansion, I heard the news that you left the Medical Officer's Hospital."

"I was worried that you wouldn't be used to it, but I didn't expect you to adapt very well. Your life is no different from when you were at the Medical Officer's Hospital. You even chased your colleagues to West Street."

After saying that, he glanced at the jade muscle ointment on the table.

Lu Chen was speechless.

In just a few moments after entering the room, he had already mentioned Ji Xun twice.

She simply pushed the medicine bottle in front of Pei Yunying: "If you want it, Commander-in-Chief, I'll give it to you. Take them all."

He paused, glanced at Lu Chen, and saw that Lu Chen's expression was serious and not a joke, so he said slowly: "They gave it to you, how can I win their love? Besides, this is good for your injury, keep it for yourself." ”

The tone was a little gentler than before.

This man is simply capricious and inexplicable.

Lu Zhen cursed in his heart.

Pei Yunying looked at her: "So, why did you leave the Medical Officer's Hospital?"

"Leave?" Lu Zhu corrected: "Commander, I have been suspended."

He said, "Do I look like a fool?"

Lu Chen: "..."

Accusing Cui Min of plagiarism in a name full of loopholes, being driven back to West Street is the natural result, and even this result is Cui Min showing mercy.

In fact, he could make it impossible for Lu Zhen to return to the medical hospital.

"Why do you have to make such a fuss?" he asked.

Nothing could be hidden from this man, so Lu Zhuo said simply: "I owe Mr. Miao a favor. I originally said that I should do it when I get into the Medical Officer's Hospital. It's been delayed for so long, it's time to pay it back."

Hearing this, Pei Yunying was startled.

He later heard about Miao Liangfang's affairs.

He thought for a while: "Just for this? I thought you had other plans."

Lu Yan was silent.

"Shouldn't you..."

The young man frowned slightly, "Did you tamper with the recipe?"

According to the news from Qing Feng, Lu Zhuo complained to Cui Min in front of all the medical officials, saying that Cui Min had read the Spring Examination Dafang Pulse Test Paper and the prescription was at the front, and then asked Lu Zhuo about the defects in the prescription at the back.

However, Qi Yutai's family was suffering from epilepsy, and Lu Chen probably didn't know about it at that time. Why did you write down the prescription during the spring test?

Lu Chen smiled and said nothing.

Pei Yunying was in disbelief: "Did you know that Qi Yutai was crazy early in the morning, so you made arrangements in advance?"

Lu Zhuo shook his head.

Rarely seeing the confused look on the face of the person in front of him, Lu Yan took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"During the spring exam, I didn't know that Qi Yutaisu had epilepsy. I only knew that Cui Min was a villain who knew how to steal people's prescriptions."

"Although I wrote ten new prescriptions under each test paper to lure the other party to take the bait, I also deliberately left flaws."

Her expression was calm, but her tone was somewhat mocking.

"Cui Min is a villain with no real talent. Even if he gets the prescription, although it is beneficial, it may not be able to make up for the shortcomings. At that time, he will have to seek help from the master who wrote the prescription. In this way, I am very interested in Cui Min. Say, you will never become a waste, and you will always leave a glimmer of hope.”

Lu Zhuo put down the tea cup.

"I'm not as powerful as the palace commander thought. I can predict what will happen in the future. Cui Min would use this method to treat Qi Yutai, which was beyond my expectation. It was God who sent the opportunity to me. I just took advantage of it."

"Before taking action, leave a backup plan. After all, it is not easy to come up with a recipe."

The house was quiet.

Pei Yunying stared at her for a long time, then lowered his head suddenly and couldn't help but laugh.

"If you want to defeat someone, you must support them with force. If you want to win someone, you must use force with them."

The young man looked at Lu Yan with a smile, his tone was genuine appreciation, "Now think about it, when I offended you, you should have been merciful to me, right?"

With Lu Zhuo's methods, if he wanted to deal with someone, it would be really difficult to escape.

"The commander-in-chief praises you greatly."

"What's wrong with the prescription? Will he go crazy?"

"perhaps."

Pei Yunying nodded.

"So you had this idea," he leaned back slightly, as if he spoke casually, "Originally, you were thinking if there was any place where I could use my help. But now it seems that there is no place for me to use it."

He sighed, "Doctor Lu is really awesome."

This man is really good at saying nice things, but I wonder if it’s because he’s drunk.

"Master Pei has helped me a lot. It is unreasonable to always trouble the commander-in-chief." She said politely.

"You are my creditor," he said.

Lu Yan took a deep breath.

I have never seen anyone rush to pay off their debts.

She said: "The one who holds me is tired, but the one who gives me is not tired. Why is it the other way around when I get to the Commander-in-Chief?"

"Don't you appreciate it, Doctor Lu?"

"I just don't want the commander-in-chief to work hard."

"You think about me so much."

He nodded, leaning forward slightly, resting his chin on his hand and looking at Lu Yan, his bright eyes full of smiles.

"In that case," he said slowly, "when you used me to stimulate the young master of the Dong family in front of the Palace Commander's Mansion, why didn't you think I was working hard?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhuo was suddenly stunned.

She once made a scene with Pei Yunying in front of the palace commander's house to make Dong Lin give up.

But Pei Yunying was very calm at the time and didn't mention it afterward. She thought that Pei Yunying didn't actually see it and just thought she accidentally fell.

Didn't expect that he could see it all?

Lu Zhen looked at him in disbelief: "You know?"

Then he pretended as if nothing had happened!

Pei Yunying raised her eyebrows with a meaningful look in her eyes: "I almost kissed you. Shouldn't I know if you are so disrespectful to me?"

"My innocent reputation has been ruined by you."

Lu Zhuo was furious for a moment.

At this moment, it was somewhat clear why Ji Xun disliked Pei Yunying.

This person likes to see other people being embarrassed.

She endured her anger and said, "That's true. The palace commander has a noble reputation. However, since he was so protective of himself, why didn't he push me away at that time?"

He could obviously just push her away.

He still held his head up, as if he was happy to see her angry, and said unhurriedly: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Lu Yan frowned: "What's the lie?"

"The lie is that the Minister of Taifu Temple gossiped about me earlier, and I don't like the Dong family. Their young master is sad, and I am happy."

boring.

Lu Yan asked: "What is the truth?"

"The truth is..."

With a smile on his face, he stared at Lu Yun, his deep eyes like a pool of clear lake water, gradually rippled by the breeze outside the window.

Lu Zhen's heart moved.

It seemed that there was a light wine aroma coming together with the blue musk aroma on his body, and the fragrance made people feel trance-like for a moment.

Pei Yunying was still staring at her quietly. The late summer afternoon was very quiet, and the chirping of cicadas in front of the window made the greenery in the forest feel dry.

Even his chest and face gradually started to feel warm.

"Guess." he said.

""

In the summer afternoon, the cicadas are noisy.

In Qi Yutai's room in the Grand Master's residence, the person on the couch turned over and sat up from the couch with some irritability.

Qi Yutai's eyebrows were anxious.

It has been nearly half a month since he recovered from his illness and returned to Si Li Mansion.

For the past half month, he had gone to Si Li Mansion every morning and returned home at dusk. To outsiders, everything seems to have been restored to its original position.

Qi Yutai knew the suffering.

Although his father had controlled him in the past, he could still find a moment or two of breathing space when he went to Si Li's Mansion. Not so today.

After he recovered from his illness and left home, Qi Qing sent personal servants and guards to guard him. He also went to Si Li's Mansion. On the surface, he told outsiders that he still needed to boil medicine to replenish his body, but in fact Qi Yutai knew full well that his father was clearly spying on him.

Afraid that he would get sick again, that he would become mad again in public and lose the face of the Qi family, so he was followed closely. If anything happened, he would be taken back to the house immediately to save the Qi family's face.

face.

Qi Yutai sneered at himself.

It's not like he hasn't heard the rumors outside. His father has always cherished his reputation. Now that he was being treated as a joke in Rouge Alley, his father was understandably angry and disappointed.

Thinking of this, Qi Yutai felt his head hurt, as if something was about to explode from it. The more this happens, the more I miss Fengle Building which was destroyed by a fire.

He wanted to give up again.

It's just that his father is looking at him more strictly now. He doesn't even have a chance to go out alone, let alone persuade him to leave, so he can only give up.

That's it, when he gets the chance in the future, let Hua Ying find a way to help him go out to relieve his boredom, he thought.

When I think of Qi Huaying, I can't help but think of the female medical officer who was the culprit of making my sister sad.

Just as the servant brought some new medicine, Qi Yutai asked, "How is Lu Zhu doing lately?"

If there hadn't been that fire in Fengle Building, he would have already started to deal with that lowly medical woman. The bitch who comes from the back streets has no idea how high the sky is and dares to make the apple of the Qi family's heart sad. Even with Pei Yun protecting him, he still has to find a way to make the other party lose his skin.

Unexpectedly, the unexpected delay caused the woman to dance for a few more days.

The servant beside him replied: "Back to you, young master, Lu Chen has left the medical hospital."

Qi Yutai's hand holding the medicine bowl paused and he raised his head.

"What?"

The servant lowered his head and recounted everything that had happened in the Medical Officer's Hospital in recent days.

After finishing speaking, Qi Yutai murmured: "He left unexpectedly."

Before he even started to take action, Lu Chen was already gone?

This may have been Cui Min's move, but Pei Yunying, as Lu Zhuo's backer, didn't stop him?

No, it should have been stopped. Otherwise, since Lu Huo dared to throw dirty water on Cui Min, he would have been completely kicked out of the medical hospital or given a slap in the face. He would not have been suspended for only three months.

Cui Min was still afraid.

Qi Yutai looked disdainful, but soon became happy again.

fair enough.

When Lu Yun was in the medical hospital, there were Pei Yunying and Ji Xun watching over him in the imperial city. There were some things that were difficult to do.

Now she is living in West Street, which is full of ordinary people and a mixed place. It is easy to do something to her, which is more convenient than in the medical hospital.

Thinking of this, Qi Yutai felt relieved, and even the decoctions that he usually found to be bitter tasted a bit more pleasing to his eyes now.

"Okay." He raised his face, which was pale due to illness. His slightly blue and black eyes were shining with an inexplicable light at this moment, which was a bit scary.

"That's good news."

As he spoke, he reached for the medicine bowl on the tray.

The dark brown decoction is thick and viscous. It is contained in a white porcelain medicine bowl, and it looks more and more like a spread of putrid sludge. As soon as you get closer, a bitter smell suddenly fills your nose.

Good medicine tastes bitter, but this medicine is even more bitter than poison.

Qi Yutai cursed Cui Min secretly, raised his head, closed his eyes, and drank the soup in the bowl.
