Luo Lingyu: “…”

I always felt that he was just being lazy and didn't even bother to look for a different pill as an antidote.

Her guess slowly took shape, and she felt that Lu Yun was really deceiving her! There was no poison at all, nor any antidote... He just saw that she might not save him, so he tricked her into helping him, tricked her into helping him appease the Prince of Hengyang... The annoying Lu Sanlang!

Although she had already guessed that she might have been deceived, she did not dare to confirm it completely. What if it was really poisonous, and there was really an antidote, fighting poison with poison? She stared at Lu Yun's hand under her eyelids, and then lifted her eyelids to meet his playful eyes. Luo Lingyu made up her mind and took the pill seriously. When she was about to swallow it in one gulp, Lu Yun pinched her wrist.

Luo Lingyu looked at him warily. He said, "Wait a minute, cousin. This is fighting poison with poison. It might be very uncomfortable. You will feel cold all over. At the mildest, you will feel as if ants are gnawing at your bones. At the worst, your body will convulse and you will fall into a coma and die. It won't feel good. You must be careful... Don't rush to take the medicine."

Luo Lingyu's face turned pale. What? Bone-eating insects? Body twitching? Possibly even fatal?

She met Lu Yun's serious expression, and was no longer sure if the poison was real. Holding the pill in her hand for a long time, Luo Lingyu's face changed. At a close distance, Lu Yun saw that her expression was wavering between hesitation, fear, confusion, determination, and fearlessness of death, and he curled his lips. Lu Sanlang wanted to appreciate her wonderful facial changes for a while longer, but he saw Luo Lingyu suddenly grit her teeth, and without asking for his advice or begging him, she opened her mouth and swallowed the brown pill.

Lu Yun was stunned: "..."

His interest in appreciating the beauty was interrupted, and he lost interest: "How do you feel, cousin?"

Luo Lingyu closed her eyes and savored it for a while.

The sunlight floated on her face, the bright and dark light was like water waves. The girl leaned against the bamboo, so close to him. When Lu Yun stared at her in a trance, he saw that her face suddenly turned pale, and her expression suddenly stiffened. Lu Sanlang was so sensitive: "Why..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Luo Lingyu holding her belly and bending down, saying in a miserable voice: "Cousin..."

Lu Yun immediately hugged her shoulders, supported her and sat down with her. He saw that her face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her breathing was getting faster and faster. Lu Yun took her pulse, but he didn't know if it was because of panic, he only felt that her pulse was beating violently. When he was about to take a closer look, Luo Lingyu turned her sweaty hand over, held his hand, and trembled: "Third cousin, I, I am in so much pain..."

Lu Yun held her in his arms, watching the beauty in his arms gasp for air, tears welling up in the blink of an eye, she nestled in his arms weakly and pitifully. She bit her lips tightly, tears glistening in her eyes, her hands covering her belly, staring at him with tears in her eyes, looking miserable... Lu Yun said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid... It's okay!"

He was full of doubt and hugged her: "There is no poison at all, why are you like this... That pill, pill... is just sucrose. Could it be, could it be..."

Could it be that someone had replaced his clothes and swapped out his belongings?

Lu Yun felt a chill in his heart. The person who could easily replace his belongings must be a maid or a servant. But his underwear was always taken care of by Jinyue herself, and ordinary maids and servants could not touch it... Did Jinyue betray him? Jinyue and he had been friends for more than ten years, how could she...

The beauty in his arms sobbed, groaned, and repeatedly called "cousin". She seemed to faint from the pain, as if the "antidote" he had invented had really worked. Lu Yun stopped thinking about it and wiped the cold sweat off the girl's face.

Luo Lingyu trembled in fear in his arms: "Cousin, am I going to die..."

Lu Yun forced himself to calm down, held her wrist and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Lingyu, I won't let you die..."

Perhaps because he was so distracted, he couldn't really tell what was wrong. Lu Yun simply passed his arm through her knees and was about to pick her up to seek medical treatment. Unexpectedly, as he leaned over to hold her horizontally, her bent legs lifted to the side and kicked at his knees kneeling on the wet moss. Lu Sanlang instinctively bent over to protect his knees, and his knees hurt. He groaned and was pushed back violently.

Sitting on the ground, Lu Yun rubbed his knees. The girl who was barely alive in his arms jumped up flexibly, no longer sweating and crying timidly.

Luo Lingyu stood on the ground, looking down at her husband kneeling at her feet, and snorted coldly: "Lu Sanlang, how does it feel to be deceived?"

Lu Yun raised his eyes, his eyes sparkling: "...You lied to me?"

Luo Lingyu pinched her pulse, thinking that she had held her breath just now, and actually deceived Lu Yun. He had teased her several times, how could she be willing? Luo Lingyu smiled coquettishly, and found that he seemed to have been kicked hard, with his hands on his knees, unable to stand up for a long time. The feeling of the handsome man kneeling at her feet was still very comfortable... Luo Lingyu smiled: "Anyway, it's the last time."

She raised her long sleeves, knelt down and saluted him in a formal manner to say goodbye: "Lu Xuechen, the matter of King Hengyang is over, and we are parting ways now. You have seen my true face and know that I am not a good person. I also know that you are not as bright and beautiful as you appear... We are disgusted with each other, and I hope we don't have to deal with you again in the future."

"I will take my leave now."

Seeing Lu Yun holding onto the bamboo and about to stand up, Luo Lingyu also panicked a bit. He glanced at her coldly, and before he stood up, Luo Lingyu turned around and left, hurriedly chasing after the cousins ​​who were walking much faster than them. Luo Lingyu, who had just come here with a limp, once again walked gracefully and elegantly when she was about to chase the cousins ​​and reunite with them.

Luo Lingyu endured the pain in her feet and finally caught up with her cousins ​​who were waiting for her under the pavilion outside the temple. She chatted with the girls who were getting impatient, and when she walked with the girls, she turned her head and looked behind her. She saw Lu Sanlang's figure flashing out from behind the bamboo forest, as beautiful as jade.

Luo Lingyu urged the cousins: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

Not far away at the temple, Lu Yun looked in Luo Lingyu's direction for a long time, neither cold nor warm, and greeted her loudly, looking at her mockingly: "Cousins, wait for me——"
