Chapter 898 Song Tangning is his medicine
Chunsheng couldn't help but tear up when he saw the scars on his master's arm.
He was originally a son of the Lu family, and grew up serving Sanlangjun. Sanlangjun was a noble and proud person from a noble family, so he had never suffered such a crime.
Lu Zhinian's face turned pale. He rolled up his sleeves and said coldly, "Song Mo, when did you learn to act like a woman?"
Chunsheng hadn't heard this name for a long time. It was the name given to him by Sanlangjun himself when he was in the Lu family. Later, the Lu family suffered a major change and he almost died. Sanlangjun rescued him when he escaped from the capital. After that, he changed his name and surname with Sanlangjun and became Chunsheng, a servant of the Ji family.
The two words "Song Mo" just like the three words "Lu Zhinian" disappeared from the once prominent Lu family.
When Lu Zhinian heard Chunsheng calling him "Sanlangjun" with red eyes, his gaze fell on the uneven scars on his face that were still visible even under the mask, and the coldness on his face melted away a little.
"Seeing a little blood can help relieve some of the pain. It's nothing serious."
Hearing this, Chunsheng looked at Lu Zhinian's still pale and painful face with a look of anxiety: "But didn't these medicines suppress the symptoms before? When we were in the Imperial City, one dose could last for several days. You just took the medicine before I left, so how could it break out so soon?"
Lu Zhinian rubbed his brows. "That Zhang Bin is from the Great Wei. How could they not know my identity after lurking in Beiling for so long? They sent those medicines to me to use me to deal with Xia Hou Ling. Qin Liangshu didn't even consider my safety when he prepared the medicine."
To relieve the urgent need for the time being, let him set up the plan, and after turning Beiling upside down, he will be of no use to us.
He knew very well that Xiao Yan and Tang Ning hated him, so how could they possibly make him feel comfortable? When he was in the imperial city before, the effect of the medicine on him had become worse and worse, and the medicine that Xiao Yan's people sent was not much.
Although the doctor sent by the princess's mansion had cracked the ingredients in the pill, no matter how he mixed it, it did not have the original effect. The pills he made were only 30% as effective as the original.
In order to allow him to take the medicine for longer, they had to settle for the second best. They mixed the pills sent by Xiao Yan's people into the pills they made, barely increasing the effectiveness to 50%.
But this 50% is just a drop in the bucket compared to the severe pain he suffered when his headache attacked.
Chunsheng stood up suddenly: "I will take people back to the capital of Wei and bring back Qin Liangshu. She will definitely be able to heal the master..."
"stop."
Lu Zhinian growled, "What do you think the capital is? You can go there just by saying so. Besides, Qin Liangshu is a guest of honor to the Emperor and Empress of Wei. She's lived in the Wei Dynasty palace for years. She's also well-known among both the powerful and the common people. She's saved countless lives. Even if you take someone there, there's no way you can bring them back."
Chunsheng stopped and looked at him with red eyes. He knew that Qin Liangshu was no ordinary person. The reason why Xiao Yan was able to survive and sneak into the palace was because of this lady Qin. Her medical skills were the best in the world, and her title of the Miraculous Doctor was more respected than that of the royal families of other countries.
It is almost impossible to bring someone to Beiling by force.
What's more, if a doctor is not willing to treat people, no matter how many means are used, it will be difficult to force her to do so. For a doctor as skilled and free as Qin Liangshu, it is hard to say whether he can save people or not, but if he wants to take the life of one or more people, it is really just a matter of raising his hand.
Lu Zhinian looked at Chunsheng's red eyes and said in a softer tone, "If you want Qin Liangshu to help, she has to be willing. Besides, my headache isn't the only one she can cure. Her coming here might help alleviate the symptoms, but only a truly effective medicine can cure the root cause."
Chunsheng was stunned. He had left Wei with his master and had been by his side since his master's first headache. At that time, his master was far from being as unpredictable as he is now. Naturally, he inadvertently knew the root cause of his master's illness.
There is a real cure, but finding it is not easy...
Lu Zhinian seemed to see through his thoughts: "Lu Jiuan has already captured Tang Ning."
Chunsheng raised his head abruptly: "Is what the master said true?"
Lu Zhinian nodded: "He worked with Ming Ke to disrupt the capital of Wei, allowing Ming Ke to kidnap Tang Ning during the chaos. Now both of them are in Lu Jiuan's hands."
"Very good!"
Chunsheng's face was filled with joy, and even the mask couldn't hide the happiness between his eyebrows and eyes: "The capital of the Great Wei is the most difficult place to break through. As long as Miss Song leaves the capital, our people can bring her back to Beiling. By then, the master's headache will be cured..."
Just like when he was in the Lu family, he kept calling her "Miss Song". Not only because he knew that his master did not like to mention that Miss Song was married, and he would feel upset every time he talked about the Queen of Wei, but also because in his heart, Song Tangning was his master's wife and the mistress of the Lu family.
It was Emperor Wei Xiao Yan who intervened and snatched away Song Tangning, causing his master to fall into this situation.
Chunsheng said anxiously, "I'll take people to pick up Miss Song and the others right away!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhinian shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."
"Since the chaos in the Wei capital began a month ago, Lu Jiuan has been hiding a lot of information. He covered up the disappearance of the Wei Emperor, the rebellion at Munan Pass, and the conspiracy between the aristocratic families and Prince Hui. After he captured Mingke and Tangning, he completely disappeared. I'm worried that he has other intentions."
Chunsheng suddenly became anxious: "Master, are you saying that he knows your headache is because of Miss Song?"
Lu Zhinian pondered: "It may not be because of the headache..."
He had headaches before he left the Lu family, but no one knew the reason except Chunsheng, who had always been by his side.
Wu Ya always thought that he was born sick, and when Lu Jiuan saw him, it was already a long time after he left Wei. He always thought that he was suffering from the sequelae of the disease he contracted while fleeing Wei when the Lu family was destroyed, and he might not have known that Tang Ning could "cure" his headache.
After all, even he himself had only experienced the headache disappearing after getting close to Tang Ning.
Lu Zhinian said, "Lu Jiuan probably doesn't know the specific reason. He probably just thinks that I still have feelings for Tang Ning."
He said to Chunsheng:
"Right now, the Wei Dynasty has sent people to hunt them down. Lu Jiuan doesn't have many places to go. With Xiao Yan's whereabouts unknown, he can't threaten anyone but me with Tang Ning. Tang Ning is his protective amulet now, and he wouldn't dare to take her life lightly."
"The most important thing right now is what happened with Xia Hou Ling."
Lu Zhinian whispered to Chunsheng about his "cooperation" with Xiahou Ling and the matter of the Dragon Jade Token. Then, in front of Chunsheng's shocked eyes, he said, "Xiahou Ling has the Dragon Jade Token. This is a rare opportunity. Maybe we can take down Wei in one fell swoop."
Chunsheng hesitated after hearing this: "But Xiahou Ling is extremely cunning. Master, do you really want to cooperate with him?"
Lu Zhinian: "So what if he's cunning? At least he and I share the same goal of conquering Wei."
The most important thing right now is to take down Wei.
Only if he wins can he return to his homeland.
Only by winning can he take back everything that belongs to him.
Moreover, after Beiling’s great victory, he didn’t need to do anything, Lu Jiuan would naturally bring Tang Ning to find him.
This battle must be won.
Seeing Chunsheng's hesitation, Lu Zhinian said in a deep voice, "This matter has been decided. There is no need to say more. Go and ask Tuo Lin and San Qina to come see me."
