It was a good thing that she was sent off. The upcoming days in the Grand Duke Mansion would be more peaceful.The happiest of all would be Zhu Yu.“Serves her right for acting so arrogantly all the time. All she can do now is stay put at the temple,” Zhu Yu said. She finally felt a wrong had been righted.However, this matter had alerted the Dowager Duchess.The Dowager Duchess got someone to summon Lu Hetian to the Longevity Hall.“You’ve been putting up with her all these years. Why would you suddenly have people to send her away this time?” The Dowager Duchess looked at her son questioningly.Lu Hetian explained, “Madam Zheng’s attitude was still considered within the line before this, but this time at the birthday banquet, she had tried to harm Weiwei.”“What happened?” The Dowager Duchess frowned.Lu Hetian reiterated what had happened at the birthday banquet to her.“How could Madam Zheng have such gall to harm Weiwei in such a way? It was lucky that Weiwei had luck on her side

When poisoned with Frostbite, no matter how mighty the person was, they would become like a deflated ball and failed to summon any more energy.So did this mean that the Emperor had never bedded any consorts in the harem?Long Yang did not seem like a person who had been poisoned with Frostbite.However, his blood did contain the Frostbite poison.Moreover, through examining Long Yang, she was sure that he did not have much time left.His body was severely impaired, and the toxin was already nearing his heart and would soon erode it entirely.When that time came, even a powerful god would not be able to save his life.Long Yang was well aware of how critical his condition was, or else he would not have allowed her to examine and experiment on him.Even if it was for Lu Tingchen, she wanted to cure Long Yang’s illness. Moreover, as long as Long Yang was on the throne, that jerk Long Chi would never be able to fulfill his dream of ascending it.For this reason, she could not let Long Ya

Lu Liangwei explained, “Although I have some knowledge on detoxification, I’m not a god after all, and I can’t know everything without doing anything.“This poison has been lurking in Your Majesty’s body for a long time, so I wanted to find out what poison it is using your blood. As for examining your body, that is to understand your current physical condition so that I can prescribe your medicine accordingly.”Her explanation sounded justified and well-founded. Long Yang’s face turned grim, and he shot a glance at Zhao Qian.Zhao Qian immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly led Chief Physician Lin outside.Seeing this, Lu Liangwei raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little amused.She did not expect that the majestic and resolute Emperor would have such an awkward side to him.She was just asking him to stick out his tongue; was it necessary to be so cautious?After the inspection, Lu Liangwei picked up the cup of blood from the table and said to Long Yang, “I’ll take

Looking down at the handkerchief embroidered with colorful butterflies on his palm, he asked unexpectedly, “Did you embroider this handkerchief?”Lu Liangwei was at a loss trying to keep up with his unusual thinking. She looked at him in confusion and replied truthfully, “No, I’m bad at embroidery. My maidservant did this.”Long Yang nodded. “Judging from your appearance, you’re probably not good at embroidery.”Hearing this, Lu Liangwei felt a little indignant.Judging from her appearance?What was wrong with her appearance?“Does Your Majesty always judge people by their appearance like this?” She was a little upset and could not help retorting in a slightly aggressive tone.Zhao Qian scowled. This Second Miss Lu was getting too bold—how dare she speak to the master that way!Such unruly behavior!On the contrary, Long Yang was not bothered by her attitude. Instead, he found the sight of her rosy face flushing with anger quite adorable.She was only a young girl, but she always had

Noticing Zhao Qian’s agitated reaction, Lu Liangwei was startled for a while before realizing what had caused it.Long Yang was the emperor, and she had suddenly asked to take his blood. In their ears, such a request was a display of utter disrespect to the Emperor.Moreover, drawing blood involved breaking the skin.Usually, except for his close guards and the palace cavalry commander, nobody was allowed to bear any weapons in the presence of the Emperor to avoid any assassination attempts.Zhao Qian reacted that way because of her rash request to draw blood, and even the way he looked at her had changed.She raised her eyes and glanced at the Emperor. Seeing that his eyes showed no anger, she breathed a sigh of relief and explained, “I just want to examine what Your Majesty has been poisoned with through the blood so that I can prescribe the right treatment.”Zhao Qian frowned when he heard this. He felt that Second Miss Lu had become conceited after being in the Emperor’s good grac

Judging by Second Miss Lu’s youthful appearance, it was hard to imagine that she actually possessed advanced medical skills.However, Chief Physician Lin was not a pedantic person. Apart from slight surprise, he did not show any contempt.He did not find anything wrong with women studying medicine.Lu Liangwei could tell that Chief Physician Lin was an open-minded person and that his words were sincere.“I just happened to have read a few medical books—it’s nothing worth mentioning in front of Chief Physician Lin.”Chief Physician Lin’s interest was immediately piqued. “What medical books could Second Miss Lu have read to learn how to diagnose an illness just from reading?”His words were filled with pure curiosity and not a hint of sarcasm.Lu Liangwei said humbly, “A few commentary books on medicine, but they are all about detoxification.”Chief Physician Lin’s heart thumped. “Detoxification?”Lu Liangwei nodded. “That’s right.”“Then may I ask what opinion does Second Miss Lu have
