 Chapter 154 His nervousness

 There was silence in the room for a moment.

 After a while, the sharp edge against his neck gradually relaxed, and the other party let go of his hand. Lu Chen turned around, fumbled for the fire break, and lit the lamp again.

 Faint light illuminated a small section behind the bookshelf, and also illuminated the other person's face.

Pei Yunying stood in front of the wooden frame, squinting slightly as if being dazzled by the sudden light. He looked at her and said, "Doctor Lu."

 The lonely lamp and the cold moon make the good night desolate. The bookshelves on all sides filled the room with a torrent of books, and people seemed to be drowning in them.

The young man only wore a simple piece of black clothes. He was not as bright as in the daytime, but looked lonely and cold. Even his eyes were not as warm as usual, and he was as calm and dark as the deep sea.

Lu Zong's eyes glanced at the book in his hand.

 He held a medical record in his hand.

Even medical officers cannot access the medical records in the medical library at will, let alone Pei Yunying, an outsider? But just now she clearly heard the sound of Pei Yunying taking the key to unlock the door. Regardless of where he got the key from... Is he here today for a medical record?

The oil lamp burning in the hand can only illuminate a short section, and the small characters on the medical records are like ripples, blurring and gradually becoming clearer shadows, which are vaguely visible...

Before she could see clearly, her eyes suddenly went dark.

His eyes were covered.

 The hand covering her eyes felt slightly cold, like the subtle itching of snowflakes on her cheeks.

Pei Yunying's smiling voice rang in his ears: "You still dare to look? Dr. Lu is really not afraid of death."

 Lu Yan was silent.

After a moment, the cool snowflake left her eyes, and the light gradually returned to her eyes. When she raised her eyes again, Pei Yunying had already put the medical records back in her arms.

 Lu Xu frowned.

 She actually didn't care what Pei Yunying was doing here. She didn't come to the medical warehouse of the Medical Officer's Hospital in the middle of the night just for a walk.

This person is the commander in front of the palace, but the previous snowy night pursuits, assassins in the palace, and tonight's uninvited visits...everything is not simple no matter how you look at it.

 Mysterious, but also dangerous.

 He ​​leaned over and took the oil lamp from Lu Zhu's hand, glanced at the medical case held by Lu Zhu, paused slightly, and said, "What bad thing is Doctor Lu planning to do when you come out so late?"

Lu Zhen: "I should be asking this to Mr. Pei, right?"

They also sneaked into the medical warehouse late at night. When it comes to grabbing the handle, it can be said that they are each other.

He nodded, looked at her and smiled slightly: "I originally wanted to be unnoticed, but who knew I would bump into you."

“…What should we do, Doctor Lu?”

Lu Zhen’s expression was cold.

 He was very close to her.

Just when he covered her eyes, Lu Zhen was forced to take a step back, and his back pressed against the cold bookshelf. Looking up, there were his dark eyes.

 His eyebrows are very beautiful, handsome and gentle, like a beloved man who came to sleep on a spring night in Shengjing, and his shadow is tinged with the fragrance of wind and moon.

However, his eyes were extremely cold.

Like biting snow hidden in the deep calm sea, only the occasional ripples can reveal the coldness underneath.

Lu Zhen looked at him calmly: "What do you want, Mr. Pei?"

She thought of the coldness that fell on her neck in the darkness just now. At that moment, she felt the dangerous aura coming from the other person's body.

 It’s not an illusion.

Pei Yunying smiled, put down the oil lamp, and was about to speak when her eyes suddenly stopped on the wooden frame behind her.

There is a small medicine bottle.

 He took the medicine bottle.

 The medicine bottle is exquisite, with three small words on the bottle dimly illuminated by the light -

The birds disperse quietly.

Pei Yunying lowered his head and glanced over. When he saw it clearly, his expression suddenly became meaningful.

 “Why would you put such a dangerous thing here?”

 There are various patent medicines everywhere in the medical hospital for easy access, and the medical warehouse is no exception.

 “Quejingsan” is a dumb medicine.

 This medicine is often used by servants who have made mistakes in the palace, or by masters who want to keep secrets.

I don’t know who put this bottle here carelessly.

“Master Pei, you might as well say what you have to say.”

He glanced at Lu Huan and waved the medicine bottle in front of Lu Huan. There was no smile in his always bright eyes: "Doctor Lu, you know that in the imperial city, this thing is often used to keep secrets."

The night is like water, and when a breeze blows, a small ball of light in the oil lamp is swaying, like a thin wave about to be submerged in the tide of the night.

Lu Zhen stared at him coldly.

 He looked calm and unmoved.

After a moment, Lu Zhuo suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the medicine bottle in Pei Yunying's hand, uncorked the bottle and drank it.

Her movement was so fast that Pei Yunying didn't expect it. When she reacted, her expression suddenly changed: "What are you doing?"

“Didn’t Lord Pei ask me to drink it? I finished it.”

His wrist was grabbed, and he said angrily: "Are you crazy?"

Lu Zhen frowned slightly.

"Who told you to really drink?" His calm and aggressive attitude was gone, and his expression was a bit angry and nervous. He grabbed Lu Zhuo's hand and walked out: "Let's go."

Lu Zhen shook off his hand: "What are you doing?"

 “Look for a doctor.”

“I am the doctor.” Lu Zhu took a step back, “You are the one who wants me to drink medicine, and you are the one who wants me to find the doctor. Mr. Pei, are you kidding me?”

He seemed to have a headache, and his voice calmed down: "I just want you to know the secret of this matter..." His voice suddenly paused, and Pei Yunying looked at Lu Yan: "How can you still speak?"

 "Quie Jing San" took effect immediately after taking it, but now a few breaths have passed and Lu Zhuo is safe and sound.

Pei Yunying looked at her hesitantly: "You just..."

 “The medicine bottle is empty.”

Lu Zhen smiled slightly, with a somewhat sarcastic expression: "'Que Jing San' is poison. Mr. Pei, you don't think that the Medical Officer's Hospital would place such poison casually, do you?"

The medicine bottle has been here for who knows how long. It is an empty bottle. Chang Jin had previously said that he would put some insect-proof fragrant pills in it for a few days to prevent the letters from rotting, but he had always forgotten this.

Hearing this, Pei Yunying was stunned.

Lu Yan said: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you drink it. However," she raised her head, stared at Pei Yunying and said strangely: "I was the one who took the poison, why should the palace commander be excited?"

  She knew that he was deliberately trying to scare her, so she deliberately followed his play.

Just the way Pei Yunying shouted loudly just now made people feel trance-like and give them an illusion.

Looks like she is nervous.

She was very close to Pei Yunying. Pei Yunying lowered her head and met Lu Zhen's serious gaze.

Those eyes are always calm most of the time. Occasionally, they will encounter turbulent waves, so that the original appearance of these eyes is ignored. I don't know whether it's because the light of the lights is too quiet, or the spring night in Shengjing is too gentle, but those eyes are as clear as water, full of real doubts, just like the moonlight when they passed by the courtyard just now, illuminating the entire forest.

He paused, suddenly looked away, and said coldly: "I don't want to cause trouble for myself."

This reason was not very good, but Lu Zhuo did not continue to ask.

The room was quiet for a while, and Pei Yunying turned back to look at Lu Chen: "If the medicine bottle wasn't empty, would you drink it?"

"Yes." He frowned: "Why?"

 “I believe that Mr. Pei will not let me drink dumb medicine.”

He stared at Lu Huo with a strange look on his face: "Do you trust my character?"

"no."

Lu Zhu said lightly: "I think that if Mr. Pei is really worried that I will reveal the secret, he will kill me with a knife instead of giving me a bottle of dumb medicine."

 “Adults can’t be so kind.”

Pei Yunying: “…”

He sneered and said in a very light tone: "Listen to what you said, I am extremely evil?"

Lu Zhuo did not answer, but looked out the window. The dark clouds in the sky had completely dispersed, and a bright moon was hanging above the head.

 The lamp in the oil lamp was only a short one.

 It’s almost the fourth update.

She reminded: "Master Pei, aren't you leaving yet? If someone notices and comes after me later, I can only say that you are holding me hostage."

Pei Yunying glanced at her. Lu Yan was standing in the weak firelight. There was darkness in all directions. She was standing in front of the bookshelf in a snow-white coat. Her black hair fell like a waterfall on her shoulders. She looked weak and pale, as if she had rolled a book from the shelf. A beautiful female ghost walked out of the book.

 Looks docile, but is actually dangerous.

He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Then I'll say we're on the same team." After a pause, he looked at her again: "But that shouldn't be the case. At most, I'd think you and I are having an affair."

Lu Zhen retorted: "Don't worry, sir, I won't have an affair like this with you."

 He choked, laughed as if he was angry, glanced at Lu Zhu again, turned around and walked out the door.

As he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly remembered something: "That's right."

 Lu Zhuo raised his eyes.

“Next time you hide, remember to hold your breath.”

He seemed to be deliberately irritating her: "The sound of breathing was so obvious that I could hear it as soon as I entered the door."

 Lu Huan: “…”

 The room fell into silence again.

Lu Zhen held the medical record in his hand tightly.

Had I known this, I should have stabbed him in the head.

 You should not be merciful.

 …

The night in the spring mountain is quiet, and there is not a single star in the sky at the fourth watch.

 In the yard, the black dog was lying in the shed. He suddenly opened his eyes, straightened up, raised his ears and listened toward the door for a moment, then retracted again.

In the study room of the Palace Commander's Mansion, someone entered the room.

 The house was brightly lit, and the light was bright in the high-handled copper lamp.

Xiao Zhufeng was sitting at his desk. When he heard the movement and raised his head, he saw Pei Yunying ducking into the room.

 “Did you find something?” he asked.

Pei Yunying reached out, took out a book from his arms and threw it in front of him. He took off his black clothes and took a robe from the chair to put on.

Xiao Zhufeng took the album, lowered his head and flipped through it a few times, his eyes moved slightly: "...it's still there."

The person in front of me finished changing his clothes, poured himself a cup of hot tea, lowered his head and took a sip, and said after hearing this: "Are you ready to do the business?"

Xiao Zhufeng nodded and asked again: "No one saw you when you went to the Medical Officer's Hospital?"

Pei Yunying stopped drinking tea and stared at the tea leaves floating in the cup: "No."

Xiao Zhufeng nodded and asked again: "Medical Officer Lu is not here either?"

The young man suddenly raised his eyes: "What are you asking her for?"

His reaction was so sudden and intense that Xiao Zhufeng was startled for a moment, and then he said: "I always feel that you meet her on unexpected occasions every time. I thought that because you two have a bad relationship, you might bump into her today."

 When he said this, Xiao Zhufeng paused and looked at him suspiciously: "I didn't see him if I didn't see him. Why do you look so guilty?"

Pei Yunying's expression changed slightly, as if he was stung by a word in this sentence, and he said coldly: "Are you bored?"

He put the tea cup on the table again and said angrily: "You can take your things and pay for your errands." He turned around and left.

 Xiao Zhufeng: “…”

This person is not usually so moody. He just said one sentence, and I don't know where he said it wrong, and he got so angry.

 He put the book away and said coldly: "It's inexplicable."

 …

The wind last night disturbed the people in the medical warehouse, but it could not disturb the sun in the morning.

The next day the sky was clear, the wind was gentle, and the new swallows in front of the hall came and went around the willow branches at the entrance of the Medical Officer's Hospital, showing off the spring flowers.

There was no need to go to Jin Xianrong for a consultation in the early morning, and there was nothing going on at the Palace Commander's Mansion, so Lu Zhuo got up a little late.

After Fang finished washing, he saw Lin Danqing coming in from the door carrying a big baggage.

Lu Zhen glanced at the bulging luggage behind her and asked, "Are you going out?"

Lin Danqing nodded: "Yes, I have a ten-day break today and I want to go home. It's been two months since I came to the hospital and I haven't been back. I have saved up my days for two months." He remembered something again and glared at Lu Shun: " Sister Lu, have you forgotten that you have a holiday today?"

 Lu Tong was startled.

 The medical officer of the Medical Officer's Hospital whose family is in the capital does not have to stay in the hospital. She and Lin Danqing are special, and they stay in the hospital at night. Medical officers who stay at the Medical Officer's Hospital can get one or two more silver in salary every month. However, the two of them do not stay here just for the extra salary.

 Lu Yun wanted to get close to Qi Yutai. As for Lin Danqing, it is unknown.

It is the tradition of the medical hospital to have two days off every month. After entering the medical hospital, various things happened one after another, and Lu Yan did not take leave as usual. She originally wanted to save up for this month, but was delayed due to Qi Yutai's incident. If Lin Danqing hadn't mentioned it at this moment, she almost forgot about taking a ten-day break from today.

Seeing that Lu Chen was silent, Lin Danqing thought she was in some kind of difficulty, so he came over and held her arm and said, "Sister Lu, why don't you come to my house? My house is very big. Come back with me and I'll show it to you." My golden cat, Hydrangea, is so beautiful and will act coquettishly when someone comes over, you will definitely like it."

Lin Danqing knew that Lu Zhu was alone in Beijing. Although he had been sitting in the West Street Medical Clinic before, the young master of the medical clinic and Lu Xi were not relatives after all, and could not be considered relatives. Everyone else went home after the break, but Lu Zhen's family was not in Shengjing. If he really wanted to leave the Medical Officer's Hospital, there was nowhere else to go. It would be better to go back to the Lin family with her.

Lu Zhen came to his senses and politely declined: "No, I want to go back to West Street."

"Really?" Lin Danqing looked at her face, still unwilling to accept it, "Don't be polite to me!"

Lu Zong smiled and shook his head.

 again and again to invite Lu Zong to no avail. It wasn’t until the Lin family’s carriage rushed outside the door that Lin Danqing had to give up and go out with his luggage. She was eager to return home, and when she skipped out the door, her back was full of joy. Lu Huo couldn't help but smile a little as he looked at her.

 Smiling, his expression faded again.

She got up, walked to the wooden cabinet in the room, bent down and took out a bundle from the wooden cabinet.

 The baggage is flat and contains nothing. Before Lin Danqing entered the Medical Officer's Hospital, he brought clothes, snacks, notebooks, and all sorts of other things, including five large wooden boxes, as if he was moving to another house. Lu Zhuo was different. Apart from a few clothes, velvet flowers, and the four porcelain vases sent by Pei Yunying, Du Changqing's only capital was the bag of broken silver that Yin Zheng secretly stuffed into her.

She didn't use a dime of the bag of broken silver, so she kept it well.

Lu Zhen picked up the baggage, put the medical box on his back, opened the door and walked out.

 The spring scenery outside the door is enchanting, the wind is blowing on a sunny day, and the apricot blossoms on the trees are fluttering like snow. She looked up, and the warm sun poured down from above her head, causing her to squint her eyes slightly.

 Haven’t been back to the hospital for a long time...

I wonder how Yin Zheng and the others are doing now?
