Chapter 220 Cherish
The lights in the palace were on all night.

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.

When a grand master loses his son, he is both a sufferer and a sinner.

A group of people, led by the third prince and Chen Guogong, 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 be guilty of 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 around 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 there are some medical books left at the hospital. I'll go back and pick them up and I'll be back early tomorrow morning."

Pei Yunying frowned.

Lin Danqing looked at him: "What's wrong, 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 moment: "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 Yunying's eyebrows were stern and he stood there without speaking for a while.

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

After leaving the palace and going to the medical 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 Zhuo by the Changle Pond last night.

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

The calm, relieved smile made people suddenly feel panic.

She's leaving, leaving.

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

Pei Yunying came back 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 the wealthy family's house, lanterns flickered.

Lu Tong stopped in front of the Grand Master's Mansion.

Autumn is cold and cold, and the front door of Taishi's Mansion is not as lively as before, and the ground is deserted with frost. There were faint sounds 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 vigorously, 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 to take 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...

In fact, it is not a substitute medicine powder, it is simply Hanshi Powder.

She only used poison to suppress the properties of the cold food powder, making 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 Hanshi Powder.

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, his drug addiction became more and more 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 moment, during the Nuo ceremony, Lu Xu handed the package of cold food powder that did not contain any medicinal poison into the hands of Qi Yutai.

Qi Yutai couldn't control himself.

He couldn't resist the temptation.

It only took 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 Zhen'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 having doubts.

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 retracted her hand, continued to carry the lantern, walked to the red door, and gently clicked the animal-faced 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.

"Lu Xu, the medical officer of the lower official hospital," Lu Xu said, "If you have anything important to do, please see Mr. Qi."

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

Lu Yan 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 Zhuo turned around: "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 Chen 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 Chen actually heard a hint of gnashing of teeth in his tone.

"Quiet."

……

The night was deeper.

The thick ink color is endless.

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

There was a flash of anger in his eyes for a moment, but suddenly they became calm, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"Where?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

After Lu Yan 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 the Grand Master's 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 was slender and white, and the slender, soft fingers were as tender as the tips of onions, with light pink kodan dotted between them, like slightly blooming flowers.

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

Lu Chen was silent.

He sneered, grabbing her hand and grabbing 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 cinnamon pills. To pound the medicine, sort the herbs, and apply acupuncture, she needs a pair of clean hands that are easy to work with.

But she carefully smeared 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.

In fact, it's not just her nails, her hairpins, her sleeves, and her cysts 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 Yan put on a brand new dress, with a fresh jade color, 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.

The candlelight flows silently in the night, and when it turns on people, the light also takes on a layer of coldness.

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

"The palace commander is not the Third Prince's man, right?" she said.

Pei Yunying's eyes moved.

"The prince and the third prince were assassinated at the Huangmaogang hunting ground 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, am I right?"

She laughed and stepped forward: "The Privy Council is obviously a supporter of the prince, but it has private dealings 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.

"Why don't you make a deal with me, Commander-in-Chief?" She smiled and said, "If I can successfully kill Qi Qing tonight, I will tell the world that I am Yuan Yao's man. 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 all around.

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

"Is this your plan?"

"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 Yan 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 paused.

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

As if unable to accept what was deeper in his eyes and 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 Zhuo's heart trembled.

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

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

Pei Yun was stunned.

"Commander, I am different from you."

She spoke word by word, and with every word she spoke, sadness overflowed from deeper in her heart.

"You have a sister and a treasure. 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, "Revenge is over, I have done what I have to do, that's all."

There were many things that she couldn't make Pei Yunying understand.

She should be a dead person, she should have been a dead person a long time ago, and revenge is the breath she forces 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's 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 Zhuo's face turned pale.

Never considered it?

Why do you do this to him?

She understood Pei Yunying's feelings for her, and relying on this, she was sure that he would always be intolerant at the wrong time due to his surliness and indifference, so she felt free to leave everything in the future of Renxin Medical Center to him.

After asking Yin Zheng to hand over the letter to Pei Yunying, it was filled with the final words of Renxin Medical Center. She carefully considered all the potential dangers and entrusted him with all the unfinished matters in a careful and serious manner.

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

He could 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 a wind blowing from nowhere.
The young man looked at her silently for a long time, then sighed, as if he was finally defeated, 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 Chen's hand, with a gentle voice: "The great revenge will be avenged. Your parents, brothers and sisters are still 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 Chen was in a daze for a moment.

He sat 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, she was allowed to glimpse 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 spilled all over the floor, the white porcelain broke into pieces, and with a crisp sound, the delicately painted picture of farewell to spring on the surface of the cup shattered in an instant.

Pei Yunying paused and glanced at the broken 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 said indifferently: "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 it was just a casual mention, but Lu Chen knew that he was not joking.

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

"I don't trust anyone."

"But you can trust me."

"Lu Chen," he said every word, "you can trust me."

The darker 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 stubbornly glowed with warmth, clearly separating everything around it.

She was wrapped in this safe light.

He said: "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 Chen 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."

He was not impressed at all.

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

"No."

Lu Zhuo 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, Qing Feng Chijian stepped forward. Pei Yunying ordered: "Keep her safe and don't let her get out. If there is any mistake, you two are 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.

"The Grand Master's Mansion."

Today is prison play (fake)
