“Rest assured, Your Majesty, Lord Qian has merely fallen asleep for now,” the imperial physician reported to Jun Anche after taking Qian Xingzhi's pulse.
“Are you certain nothing is wrong?” Jun Anche seemed quite alarmed by Qian Xingzhi.
“I heard that Lord Qian's physique is unusual, which is why she excels at divination. Perhaps that's the reason,” Lu Yu said, using the excuse to remain in the hall along with several princes.
The imperial physician did not mention any abnormality in Qian Xingzhi's pulse. Was it because Yuan Qing's medicine had taken effect, or was the physician withholding information to avoid blame?
Lu Yu shouldn't have stayed in the palace so blatantly. The more he openly entangled himself with Qian Xingzhi, the sooner he might drag her into the dangers he faced. But before reason could restrain him, he had already spoken.
