Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After having a meal at a restaurant, Liu Shimei packed some dishes and rode Liang Yi’s carriage to Qi Yang’s place.
“Oh, you still know how to show filial piety to your master. Not bad, not bad!”
Qi Yang was very happy to have good wine and good food. He ate with relish and said, “Go and take a look for yourself. Zhong Lang is awake and has just passed the critical poison stage. You can go and check his pulse. I’ll come over when I’m full!”
Liang Yi knew of Qi Yang’s existence but had never seen him before. He looked around curiously and asked Liu Shimei, “You said that Zhong Lang is here?”
“Yes. Let’s go, 1’11 bring you to see him.” Liu Shimei replied.
After entering the room that Zhong Lang was sleeping in, the smell in the room was indeed very unpleasant. After the poison had just taken effect, the room was filled with the stench of blood.
After Liang Yi entered, she opened the window to let in some fresh air.
Huangfu Lingyao followed behind Liu Shimei. He glanced at Zhong Lang, who was lying on the bed and tortured by the poison. He asked with a puzzled expression, “Wife, is he going to die?”
His words were not polite, but Liu Shimei was used to it. He was a child!
She replied, “With Master and me here, he won’t die. He might have to suffer a little.”
“Miss Zhi Liu, this is?” Zhong Lang looked at Huangfu Lingyao and coincidentally, Huangfu Lingyao was looking at him as well.
Liu Shimei replied, “My fiance, King Dun Yu.”
Sooner or later, she would have to leave the Zheng Medical Hall. Therefore, she came here today with her own face, so she did not want to hide her identity.
Zhong Lang was not a person who would make a fuss over nothing. He had long guessed that Liu Shimei’s identity was not ordinary. He estimated that she was a daughter of a rich family, so he was not surprised to hear her say this.
Everyone in the Capital City knew that King Dun Yu was Miss Liu’s fiance. Of course, Zhong Lang had heard of it before, but he did not understand why Liu Shimei would use the alias ‘Zhi Liu’ to work in the medical hall.
“Let me feel your pulse first and see how the situation is.” Liu Shimei sat down in front of the bed and took Zhong Lang’s pulse.
Huangfu Lingyao’s gaze fell on the hand she placed on Zhong Lang’s wrist to feel his pulse, and he revealed a slightly unfriendly expression.
Zhong Lang was originally a Jianghu person, a person from the martial world. He had always lived a life of bloodshed, so he had a strong sense of danger.
He felt that his hand, which Huangfu Lingyao was staring at, seemed to be burning. He subconsciously looked at Huangfu Lingyao.
However, Huangfu Lingyao’s complexion was no different from when he came in. He still looked like a child and looked around curiously.
However, this kind of childishness seemed very silly to adults.
Zhong Lang silently shifted his gaze to Liu Shimei’s face and asked, “Has Lady Liu’s wedding date been set?”
“Not yet,” Liu Shimei replied.
“Have you tried to treat King Dun Yu before? From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem treatable?”
Liu Shimei was a little surprised.
Zhong Lang was not a nosy person, and he would not say anything unnecessary. It had nothing to do with him, so he would never interrupt. How could he ask such a question?
What was he suspecting?
She subconsciously glanced at Huangfu Lingyao and replied, “I have. I’m ashamed to say that I can’t even tell what the problem is. Naturally, 1 don’t know if it can be cured.”
Zhong Lang stopped asking after hearing her words. He looked at Huangfu Lingyao again with a scrutinizing gaze.
He was a martial arts practitioner and was born in the wilderness. He was also a stranger to Huangfu Lingyao. He was not like Liu Shimei, who had first impressions and did not guard against Huangfu Lingyao.
Especially since the sense of danger he felt just now was definitely not an illusion!
His intuition had never been wrong in all his years of traveling in the martial world!
Therefore, Huangfu Lingyao must be hostile to him!
They had no grudges in the past, so the source of their hostility was naturally Liu Shimei.
Liang Yi did not notice the undercurrent that was surging here.. He saw Liu Shimei let go of Zhong Lang’s wrist and asked, “How is it?”
