low-key is king

Chapter 28 Who is better at acting?
"How? If you don't agree, don't even think about stepping into this hall!"

Lu Xun's expression was extremely determined, and Yan Ruoxia's mother and son's eyes, it was naturally a stern expression, and the last trace of doubt in their hearts disappeared.

"Sister Wangfei, what do you say?"

Although she thought she had seen through Lu Xun's thoughts, Yan Ruoxia knew that the princess had to make the decision, so she asked directly, as if she was giving an ultimatum.

"Mother Concubine, don't worry, under my nose, that old guy can't do anything!"

Before the concubine spoke, Lu Xun had already held her palm, and then patted it lightly twice. To outsiders, this had a different meaning.

"Tsk tsk, in order to save his life, this kid doesn't even care about his father's life!"

This is what Lu Dai really thinks in his heart. He thinks this is Lu Xun's last chance to survive, so he even persuades his mother and concubine to bet on the life of King Zhendong.

As for what Lu Xun said, no one believed it.

A brat with no cultivation base, can he really see what the hell Cao Song, a fourth-rank physician, has done?

Only ghosts believe it!
The concubine had already planned to kill her. There are many people here, and if it really gets to that point, her mother and son will not be spared, but the third wife, mother and son, can't justifiably control the power of the Zhendong palace.

However, Lu Xun's sudden opening and decision disrupted Wang Hao's plan. If there is really another way to go, why should she go this far, so she was a little tangled.

Firstly, the concubine didn't believe that Lu Xunzhen could see through Cao Song's secret tricks as she said; but on the other hand, she really wanted to seize this chance.

This kind of contradictory psychology made her not speak for a while, and almost everyone's eyes were fixed on her.

How today's game will develop depends on the princess's next decision.

"Let's do this first!"

After a long time, when the atmosphere on the spot condensed to a freezing point, and Lu Dai could hardly bear it anymore, the voice of the princess finally came, which made most of the people heave a sigh of relief.

Aside from Lu Dai's cronies, at least half of the people in the palace still have kind hearts, otherwise they wouldn't have followed to Watanabe Castle when the Zhendong Palace was in decline.

If the three wives and the chief physician really broke up with the princess today, then this huge Zhendong Palace will really fall apart.

Even the mother and son of the third wife who succeeded in seizing power may not be really easy.

Hearing this, Lu Xun also heaved a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that his stubborn mother and concubine would insist on his own opinion, and his plan would change.

Can these guys really be allowed to humiliate their mother and concubine?
"Mr. Cao, please!"

Seeing that the concubine compromised, the third lady did not do anything for herself, and achieved her goal. She was undoubtedly in a good mood, and stretched out her right hand to grab it, without losing respect for a fourth-rank physician.

If the former Cao Song still had scruples about the younger sister of the current Empress Xuanyue, then the current him doesn't have the heart to think so much.

No matter how strong Yan Ruoxia's background is, Xuan Yue Kingdom is still thousands of miles away.

What's more, Cao Song is not without background. He believes that the other party dare not really tear their faces, but just use each other.

But now, Cao Song's life is in the hands of Lu Xun, which is even a more terrifying threat than death, which makes him not have the slightest chance of luck, and only wants to cooperate with Lu Xun to perform this scene well.

Seeing Cao Song approaching, the concubine hesitated for a moment, but finally let the door of the hall open, and the three wives behind her, including the side concubine Xu Fengyi, stepped in slowly, as if responding to Lu Xun's words just now.

It's just that neither Yan Ruoxia nor Xu Fengyi thought that laymen like them could see the methods of Cao Song, a fourth-rank doctor, and this was just to prevent the princess from jumping over the wall.

"General Lu Dai, please respect yourself!"

Seeing that Lu Dai was about to follow into the hall, Lu Xun suddenly turned sideways and blocked him from the door, which also made Lu Dai's expression extremely gloomy in an instant.

"Lu Xun, you..."

"Day!"

Just when Lu Dai was furious and didn't want to show Lu any face, the voice of the third lady suddenly came from inside the hall, which made his face show hatred, but he didn't force his way in again.

But in Lu Dai's heart, the second son of the palace in front of him is already a dead man, and just waiting for the death of King Zhendong, how can he deal with the mother and son?

"Lu Dai, do you know where Ding Mao went?"

After the gate of the king's palace was closed, Asha, who was guarding the gate, asked suddenly, making Lu Dai turn his head viciously, but his mind was not on this question.

"A dog is also worthy of talking to General Ben?"

Lu Dai didn't even look down on Lu Xun, so how could he look down on Asha, Lu Xun's servant, but after saying these words, Chen Xian, who was not far away, was a little frightened.

Others don't know how powerful Asha is, how can Mr. Chen not know?
At least Chen Xian had some guesses that the second son's book boy named Asha was by no means inferior to Lu Dai in strength, and might even be higher than Lu Dai, so why did he mention this question at this moment?

You must know that today's big show, as long as it is the people who came to the palace yesterday, no one wants to miss it, let alone Cao Song's chief disciple who is one of the parties involved.

"Could it be?"

Thinking of a possibility, Chen Xian's figure trembled a little.

Perhaps he was the only palace guard outside the palace who knew some of Lu Xun's hole cards. From this point of view, Ding Mao was probably in danger.

Chen Xian, who still had some thoughts at first, disappeared instantly at this moment, and his thoughts of being popular at both ends also disappeared. This was the first time he realized the ruthlessness of the second son of the palace.

How terrifying would it be to make a second-level cultivator disappear without anyone noticing that even his master, who is a fourth-rank doctor, didn't have any secret means to show it?
Thinking of this, Chen Xian couldn't help trembling again. If he thought about it a little deeper, Cao Song, the fourth-rank doctor, actually knew about it, so what kind of situation would it be?

For a moment, Chen Xian didn't dare to think about it any longer. The Second Young Master, who had made him extremely afraid, was now surrounded by clouds and fog, making him completely unable to see clearly.

"Mr. Chen, why are you shaking!"

Lu Dai, who scolded Asha, turned his head and saw Chen Xian's trembling figure, so he frowned and asked.

What happened to the captain of the guard that I valued today?
Before, Lu Dai felt that something was wrong with Mr. Chen, and he would often be in a daze when he was speaking, and he was even stunned for a while when announcing orders several times, which made him very dissatisfied.

"Ah... nothing!"

Chen Xian recovered from his trance, and wanted to find the order Lu gave him, so naturally he would not say anything, but such words would undoubtedly make Lu Dai more dissatisfied.

"It seems that we have to find an opportunity to change the position of the captain of the guard!"

Lu Dai glared at Chen Xian. If the latter found out about his thoughts, he might want to cry without tears.

But he, a martial artist of the second level, suddenly experienced a big change, so how could he not be the same in the slightest?
But Lu Dai naturally didn't really doubt Chen Xian, he was just a little dissatisfied with the ability of the captain of the guard, a mere second-level martial artist, how could he take it seriously?
…………

Inside the palace!

The concubine stood beside her with a gloomy face and said nothing, but her eyes stared at Cao Song for a moment, as if she could really see something.

On the contrary, the second son, Lu Xun, seemed to have accepted his fate. Although his face was worried, he was much better than his mother. This also caused a sneer to flash in the depths of the eyes of the third lady.

"Mr. Cao, how is the prince's illness?"

The side concubine Xu Fengyi next to her was perhaps the one who didn't know the truth the most. She was only worried about whether King Zhendong could be cured, so she asked directly at this moment.

"Cao can't guarantee anything, he can only say that he will do his best!"

Cao Song glanced at the third wife Yan Ruoxia next to him, and then said this ambiguous statement, which also disappointed Xu Fengyi, but the princess knew this was the result, so she didn't say a word.

But Yan Ruoxia's purpose was far more than that. She didn't seem to want to wait any longer for the past few days, so she gave Cao Song a wink. The latter understood, and then reached out and wiped her right wrist.

"Concubine Xu, Concubine Xu, Cao Song searched all over the city for the past few days. Although they couldn't find the fourth-grade Qingxin pill, they found a very high-quality first-grade Qingxin pill, which may allow the prince to live a few more days!"

What Cao Song said next made the concubine look contemptuous. When she was in Tiandu Tower that day, Lu Xun said that the other party bought a fourth-grade Qingxin pill.

Therefore, the concubine never believed that it was a very high-quality first-grade Qingxin pill. There might be something tricky in this pill, at least it wouldn't be of any benefit to the prince's illness.

On the other hand, the third wife, Yan Ruoxia, had a happy face, as if she was really happy because of the news, and at the same time admired Cao Song's methods.

This is becoming a villain and wanting others to be grateful.

Of course, the person who is grateful is not the princess, but the side concubine Xu Fengyi.

She didn't know anything about the inside story, but she really thought it was a good medicine for the prince to hang his life, and that Cao Song was doing his duty with all his heart.

It's just that no matter whether it's the anxious and angry princess Zhao Lijing, the side concubine Xu Fengyi who doesn't know anything, or the third wife Yan Ruoxia who is full of ambition and thinks she has a plan in her chest, they don't know the real truth.

This extremely high-quality Yipin Qingxin Pill was not a fake, and the person who refined this pill was the unremarkable Second Young Master of the Palace next to them who was holding a black cat in his arms.

Cao Song, who has superb acting skills like a fourth-rank doctor, has to say admiration in his heart.

When it comes to acting skills, maybe this second son of the palace is the most proficient one?
