Lu Jinghang looked at her with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
He rushed over in such a hurry, fearing that she and Zi Yang Jun would get into another mess together. After all, it was Zi Yang Jun who had personally delivered the poisoned wine to her before, and the two of them had a deadly feud. With Dan Yangs vengeful personality, he definitely wouldnt let Jiang Xuanjin off.
Whats the result? Not only did he pretend nothing happened, but also gave him medicine?
Lu Jinghang became even more suspicious that he was dreaming.
Jiang Xuanjin gazed at the medicinal pill in front of him and said in a light tone, "If theres still someone in this world who wants me dead, it must be that person standing over there. Are you going to feed me the medicine he gave you?"
Li Huaiyu raised an eyebrow: "Are you thinking too much? Even if he wanted you dead, would he be so direct as to send poison? Does the entire household not want to live?"
Jiang Xuanjin fell silent, his face gloomy, and his whole body exuded a resistant mood.
Hua Yu looked delighted and turned her head to Lu Jing, saying: "Look, our wise and brilliant Prince Zi Yang is now like a child throwing a tantrum and refusing to take his medicine."
Lu Jinghang looked at her with a complex gaze, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.
"Arent you just recovering from your illness?" Jiang Xuanjin stared at Huai Yu, his eyes deep and heavy, "How did you come to know him?"
And it looks like theyre still quite familiar and close.
Hua Yu smiled with confidence, having already fabricated a lie when she wrote the letter. Now, she spoke without hesitation: "The Lu and Bai families are neighbors, Ive known him since we were young, whats strange about that?"
Acquainted since childhood? Jiang Xuanjin sneered. Who in the capital doesnt know that Lu Jinghang is a treacherous person, except for being close to the Princess of Danyang, he doesnt bother with anyone else. What makes the illegitimate daughter of the White Manor acquainted with him?
"You never speak the truth."
"Goodness, you dont believe me again." Huai Yu pouted, looked at the medicine pill in her hand, and smiled again, "Whether you believe it or not, I wont harm you. Take the medicine first, lest your condition worsens later, and Bai Yu Shi will have to settle accounts with me."
"Miss Bai, this..." The person beside him couldnt help but whisper, "is to be put into the mouth of the ruler, its for testing poison."
Try medicine? Huai Yu raised an eyebrow: "How can this be tried?"
"If you dont dare eat it, then just dont eat it." Lu Jinghang adjusted his clothes and said disdainfully, "Whats the point of forcing him?"
Li Huaiyu thought for a moment and seemed to understand the reason, so she pinched the medicine ball back into her hand.
However, just as I received half of it, my wrist was grabbed by someone.
Jiang Xuanjins palm was scorching hot, like a branding iron clamping down on her wrist, while his other hand slowly reached out and pinched away the medicinal pill from her fingertips.
"Huh?" Huai Yu looked at him in confusion.
The person in front of her seemed to be in a bad mood, with an unpleasant expression. The half-closed eyes were flowing with dark light. He pinched the pill and paused for a moment before directly pressing it against her lips. His thumb pressed against the pill, gently grinding it.
Li Huaiyu stared in shock, feeling the round pill rubbing against her lips, and a refreshing medicinal flavor seeping in.
She subconsciously wanted to open her mouth.
However, at the same time she opened her mouth, Jiang Xuanjin pinched the pill back, looked at her with both eyes, calmly put it in his own mouth and swallowed.
Hua Yu: "......"
"Take advantage of the emptiness:"..."
Lu Jingxing: "......"
Everyone in the house was stunned, Li Huaiyu stared at him with his eyes wide and tongue-tied, even his usually thick skin couldnt help but flush red.
"What...what are you doing?"
Jiang Xuanjins mood seemed to have improved after swallowing the medicine, and he replied seriously: "Try the medicine. Since you are familiar with Lu Zhanggui, if there is a problem with this medicine, you will die with me."
So... He touched his lips and then stuck out his tongue to lick them, and Huai Yu turned to ask Lu Jing: "No problem, right?"
Lu Jing walked over two steps, reached out and pulled her up from the bedside: "If theres a problem Ill just give you an antidote, let him die, isnt that the same?"
The person beside him suddenly gripped his sword hilt tightly.
"Hey, dont get excited, hes just a person who likes to joke around." Huai Yu hastily calmed down Cheng Xu, pointing at Lu Jinghang and saying, "You also know, tough on the outside but soft on the inside, this medicine is definitely fine!"
Lu Jinghang looked at her and grabbed her arm without letting go: "Isnt there anything else here?"
"En." Huai Yu nodded, she knew that Lu Jinghang had many questions to ask her, and she also had things to tell him. She turned her head towards Jiang Xuanjin and said: "Your Majesty, rest well, Ill take my leave first."
Jiang Xuanjin didnt make a sound, nor did he look at them. His eyes were half-closed as he leaned quietly against the headboard.
Lu Jingxing dragged Huaiyu out of the guest room.
"Let go first." As soon as they went out, Huai Yu said in a low voice, "This is the White Mansion after all."
Lu Jinghang furrowed his brow, slowly released his hand, found a quiet corner, turned around, and stared at her with piercing eyes.
"I have something to say, Ill speak first." Huai Yu leaned against the wall, looking at him in a rather incredulous manner, "Just based on a letter, how did you confirm it was me?"
Her body was already gone, Lu Jinghang should be the clearest, shes dead.
He chuckled and pulled out the Nan Yang jade bone fan from his waist, "swish" it opened with a shake: "Only you can write such ugly characters, and the ink hasnt even dried yet."
"Holding jade and raising an eyebrow: Just because of this, you believe Im still alive? Look at me now, do you dare to recognize me?"
He looked down at her and stretched out his hand to gently stroke her eyebrows: "No matter what you become, I can still recognize you."
"Hey, youre indeed the boss of Lus shop!" Huai Yu couldnt help but applaud him. "This bizarre thing about borrowing a corpse to revive someone, I myself spent half a day just to accept it. But you, on the other hand, believed it without any doubt from the very beginning."
Lu Jinghang smiled slightly, and the four big characters "High Mountain Aspiration" on his fan shook lightly, adding a few more points of elegance to him.
She gave him a sideways glance and said with a smile: "Dont pretend anymore, its just the two of us here. Who are you showing off this elegant demeanor to?"
She and Lu Jinghang have known each other for four or five years, and they know each other inside out. In front of outsiders, she is the eldest princess, and he is the first merchant in Kyoto, but when there are only two of them left, they are like old friends. There is no one in this world who understands Li Huaiyu better than Lu Jinghang, and of course, there is no one who understands Lu Jinghang better than Li Huaiyu.
"Snap" went the folding fan, Lu Jinghang narrowed his eyes: "Whats this jade tree in the wind? Come on, get closer! Do you see the bloodshot in my eyes? I havent slept well for half a month now!"
Why cant I sleep well? This is a question that doesnt need to be asked. Huai Yu himself was also clear about it, and his heart was so empty that he couldnt help but laugh.
"When did you come back?" Lu Jinghang asked irritably.
"Its just about these two days," said Huai Yu, "You see my current identity, I dont dare to run and inform you, so Ill borrow the hand of Cheng Xiao to send a message to you."
"You still have a conscience." Lu Jinghang sighed, "What are you planning to do next? With your identity... it doesnt look like youll have an easy life."
"Lets talk about that later." With a serious expression, Li Huaiyu looked at him and said, "I have something urgent that I need your help with now, its true."
