While waiting for the protagonists to arrive, Lu Ningshuang teased the Saker Falcon through the cage.

"Why are you so mad?"

Lu Ningshuang sat with her legs curled up on a carved huanghuali chair with an armchair-style backrest. The Saker Falcon's cage was placed on a rosewood, waisted, enamel-faced square stool in front of her.

She pinched the strip of meat and put it into the cage, and the Saker Falcon kept shrinking into the corner.

Suddenly, it flapped its wings in fear.

Lu Ningshuang brushed off the crystal cicada on her shoulder in annoyance, "If you dare to bite the snow mountain to death, I will trample you to death! You are as ignorant as your previous master."

The Holy Gu slowly turned over, spread its wings, and flew towards her.

The footsteps came closer and closer. Lu Ningshuang glanced at the crystal cicada and it instantly disappeared from her.

Looking up at the door, Lu Yan and Fu Nanjia came in one after another.

Lu Yan coughed from time to time and looked very weak.

Fu Nanjia was wearing a bright red robe, with her black hair loose, and sitting in a wheelchair. When she didn't speak, she looked inexplicably yandere.

Another quarter of an hour later, Jing Shiyue and Lu Yingxue arrived.

There was a trace of fatigue between Jing Shiyue's brows. As soon as he came in, he grabbed Lu Ningshuang's wrist and felt her pulse. After all, he thought that Fuling sent a message to urge him to come back because the second young lady was sick.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

He loosened his white wrist, picked up the teapot on the table and gulped down water.

Lu Yingxue wore a veil in the color of forsythia to hide the horrific wound on her face caused by Duke Lu’s fan on New Year’s Eve.

She seemed to have caught a cold and her voice was a little hoarse.

"You sickly boy, why did you call us here so late at night? Why are Lu Yan and Fu Nanjia here too? Do you have any new tricks up your sleeve?"

Lu Ningshuang lifted the cage to the ground and shouted nonchalantly:

"come in."

Baizhi and Fuling came over with a rosewood tray. There were six white jade cups on each tray, and the cups were filled with clear wine.

They moved the cups to the long table that had been prepared in advance. Lu Ningshuang hugged her knees and said weakly and pitifully:

“I called everyone over here at night because I want to play a game with you.

It's rare for me to ask for help from you all, you wouldn't think it's unlucky to be with a sick person during the New Year and be unwilling to play with me, right?"

Although everyone knew that she was pretending to be pitiful, everyone was pierced in the heart by the sharp arrows turned by her self-abandonment.

Depressed and sad.

Jing Shiyue was very busy and didn't want to delay for a moment, but at this moment he gritted his teeth and squeezed out some time to coax her:

"Second Miss, just say it, don't belittle yourself casually."

Fu Nanjia supported his chin, smiled, and looked at her deeply.

"My dear, as a defeated servant of your skirt, do I still have any choice?"

Lu Yingxue shuddered and looked at the two of them inquiringly. Brother and sister!

Um, cousins...it doesn't seem like there's any problem.

No, how can a sickly child become a threat to a tiger? !

Aren’t you afraid that he will eat you till nothing is left?

Lu Yan said loyally:

"Just at the Second Miss's command!"

Lu Ningshuang's eyes fell on her, "Where's my sister?"

Lu Yingxue temporarily suppressed her wild thoughts and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you have something to say, just get to the point."

"it is good."

Lu Ningshuang smiled, her eyes cold and ruthless.

She pointed at the wine glass on the table and said:

"This game is very simple. It depends on your courage and luck."

Jing Shiyue and Lu Yingxue had a bad feeling.

Listen to her continue:

"There are twelve glasses of wine here in total. Different drugs have been put into the wine. Some are slightly poisonous, while others are extremely poisonous."

The shocked Jing Shiyue met Lu Ningshuang's smiling eyes, "That's right, brother imperial physician, the poison was taken from you. You said that poison can't hurt people, so it's okay for us to take it ourselves, right?"

"Are you crazy, Second Miss?"

Jing Shiyue was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table.

"Yes, I am crazy. I should have been crazy a long time ago."

Lu Ningshuang smiled sweetly, raised her hand and looked at the angry young man through her fingertips, her clear and melodious voice was chilling to the bone.

"Brother Imperial Physician, go ahead and dig. I have prepared a lot of things. If you don't play with me, you won't be able to leave here.

I also know that you are worried about me, but don't worry, if you dare to overturn the table, I have a thousand ways to die in front of you! If you want to be a gambler who is desperate, it's up to you. "

She nonchalantly admired her newly made nail polish, her pure black nails painted with cinnabar and decorated with amaryllis flowers.

Lycoris radiata, also known as the red spider lily, is said to be the guiding flower to the River of Forgetfulness.

It bloomed on her scallion-like fingertips, looking extremely evil.

Lu Yan stopped Jing Shiyue tightly, and Lu Ningshuang watched them arguing in boredom.

"open!"

"I won't let you hurt the Second Miss!"

"Am I going to hurt her? She is courting death!"

"If I choose the poison, the Second Miss will be fine! If you overturn the table, the Second Miss will... She always keeps her word! I can't bet!"

"It's gambling if you stop me, get out of here!"

Lu Ningshuang looked at Fu Nanjia, who was watching a show with a smile on his face, and asked, "Brother, you won't stop me?"

Fu Nanjia patted his broken leg and said jokingly:

"Little cutie, do you want me to get on the ground and stop you? I don't want to embarrass myself in front of your other admirers."

Lu Yingxue looked outside the door frequently, trying to find a win-win solution.

"Sister, you're not going to regret it, are you?"

She was named by Lu Ningshuang.

"So what if I regret it? I don't want to die with you."

“Outside the house are four guards named Qing, one is the extremely strong Ayong, and the other is the agile Fuling.

If my brother still has martial arts skills, and works together with Lu Yan and my brother the imperial physician, maybe they can break through the defense line.

It's a pity that my sister doesn't know martial arts. Lu Yan is on my side. "

"All right!"

Lu Ningshuang stood up and stopped Jing Shiyue and Lu Yan from fighting, saying affectionately:

"You are all important to me, so I will give you two chances to fight for your lives. Each of you can choose two glasses of wine, and I will drink the rest.

Of course you can choose just one cup, and the rest are mine.”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yan walked forward, took two cups and drank them. When he was about to take the third cup, Lu Ningshuang held his hand.

“Even if it tastes good, you can’t drink too much~”

She looked around at everyone, "Who's next?"

Fu Nanjia pushed the wheelchair forward, snatched her hand from Lu Yan, and wiped it again and again with his sleeve while breathing.

"Don't touch anything dirty!"

He pulled her onto his lap, put his arms around her, and drank the poisoned wine like a wedding wine.

After finishing the last cup, he placed his chin on Lu Ningshuang's shoulder and whispered to her:

"It is better to drink wine and grow old with you. The zither and the harp are in the palace, and everything is peaceful and good. The ceremony is over, little one is well behaved."

There are eight glasses of wine left. Jing Shiyue and she need to choose four glasses, and the remaining four glasses are for Lu Ningshuang.

Lu Yingxue was very nervous. She carefully observed the situations of Fu Nanjia and Lu Yan. She walked to Jing Shiyue's side and asked:

"Do you have a way to detoxify?"

Jing Shiyue sorted the remaining eight cups one by one, checked the empty glass, and looked at Lu Ningshuang with disbelief.

Lu Ningshuang smiled slightly and said silently:

"Dare to drink?"
