Behind the open door was Lu Ningshuang, whose eyes were red and whose pale cheeks had a hint of red.

"I'm here to check the second young lady's knee. Falling is no small matter. The most important thing is to confirm whether there are any broken bones..."

As Jing Shiyue stated his purpose, his eyes involuntarily fell on the man who was hung in the house.

But the strange thing is that the first thought in his mind was not cruelty, but -

Is the second young lady getting somewhat intimate with that man?

Bai Zhi looked at her young lady awkwardly. It was all her fault that she did not stop Doctor Jing from disturbing her young lady's good fortune.

Lu Ningshuang nonchalantly moved aside, making room for him to look.

Jing Shiyue's expression changed several times, and finally he stared at her right hand which was dripping with blood.

Pursing her lips, she hesitated to speak:

"Second Miss, your hand..."

"Small things."

Lu Ningshuang glanced at it indifferently.

Jing Shiyue thought of the characteristics of the Second Miss's body, pursed his lips and pulled her hand over, suppressing a sour tone and saying seriously:

"Second Miss, your wound needs to be bandaged!"

It would be best if I could leave this room with him, the man inside is really an eyesore!

Lu Ningshuang sighed and shook her head. Her right hand, which was held by Jing Shiyue, clenched uncontrollably. The barb pierced her palm, and bright red blood oozed out.

Her breathing became a little heavier, although it was not easy to detect, but Jing Shiyue still noticed it.

"Second Miss, you..."

With tears in her eyes, Lu Ningshuang looked at him weakly and pitifully, and there was a flash of scarlet in her extremely calm eyes.

"Brother Imperial Doctor, please don't embarrass me, okay?"

She put on a melancholy smile, like an apricot blossom that was helplessly blown down by the wind, falling into the lake of people's hearts in the drizzle.

"Your position in my heart is different, and I don't want to treat you like this."

Jing Shiyue stood there in a daze, and she successfully pulled her hand back.

Lu Ningshuang didn’t care whether those men loved her or not. What she cared about was whether they were interesting and whether they could add a bit of fun to her dull life.

In her eyes, love is a castle in the air that can trap people to death, an illusory thing that is of little use even if obtained.

However, Jing Shiyue is currently the only one who likes her from the beginning to the end, and not the second lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Although she doesn't care, the thought is worth commending.

That's why she was so patient with Jing Shiyue and waited for him to make his own choice.

If he insisted on breaking in or even questioned her, she would not be angry, but once he stepped through the door, it would not be easy to get out.

Outside the door and inside the door are the difference between lovers and playthings.

She was glad that Jing Shiyue made the right choice. After all, she preferred the imperial physician brother who had a hoarse voice and called her "Miss Lu" with great restraint, rather than Jing Shiyue who was tortured to the point of losing his voice.

Lu Ningshuang took two steps forward and stroked the man's bright face with her intact left hand, whispering softly and tenderly:

"Brother Imperial Doctor, can I give you something as a gift tonight?"

Jing Shiyue looked inside the room, then at her ruthlessness wrapped in tenderness, and lowered his head dejectedly.

"Come out as soon as possible. The injuries on your knees and hands cannot be delayed!"

He hurriedly said this and left.

"Ah……"

Lu Ningshuang curved her eyebrows.

There was only a charcoal fire in the room, and it was very cold, but she was sweating profusely.

She untied the rope, and the man fell heavily to the ground. Dense red spots appeared on his thin and tight back.

Lu Ningshuang pushed him hard on the waist, took the opportunity to lean on him, and stroked his cheek lovingly with the back of her hand.

"How can you be so patient, Lu Yan?"

The man's hands, which were bound by ropes, had changed color because the blood could not flow.

But he seemed to feel nothing. With sweat all over his forehead, he looked at her with pursed lips.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, I feel better."

Lu Ningshuang frowned and poked his chest with her nails, looking listless.

"Then why are you still unhappy?"

Lu Yan was thinking about the girl's suicide, and his dark eyes were filled with deep worry.

That day, he ran away.

But Jing Shiyue was comforting him gently upstairs, and the guards arranged by the master were on high alert downstairs.

The master and his mistress, the two uncles of the Qin family, and the prince of Ningguo were all extremely anxious in the courtyard.

Once again, attendants such as Baizhi and Fuling became worried and at a loss.

The area where the embroidery building was located had been surrounded, but he had no chance to get in line and could not get any closer to the circle.

Lu Ningshuang was intrigued by his question.

"Do you need a reason to be unhappy? Just like now..."

She teased him and the man instantly trembled all over and gasped for breath.

"dislike?"

"No... um..."

"Anything else you want to say? Oh yeah, I won't give it to you."

Lu Ningshuang stood up leisurely and lit the candle.

The flickering flames with their warm scent illuminated each other's faces just right.

"Michelia has the effect of calming the body and mind, removing tension, and soothing irritability. I like the smell of this scent, it's warm and can temporarily pull me away from the coldness of the snowstorm.

You know, for me, there is only one winter among the four seasons.

Don't be nervous, okay?

Soon, only Lu Yan's voice was left in the room.

……

In the evening, the wind gradually grew stronger.

Bai Zhi ran to the west wing and asked:

"Doctor Jing, what do you want to eat?"

Jing Shiyue looked up from behind his desk in surprise, "So early?"

Normally, they would have their meals at the beginning of the Xu time (7pm), which was a quarter of an hour earlier than the servants in the courtyard.

Bai Zhi nodded, "Yes, Miss invites you to dinner. So, order the dishes! Doctor Jing!"

Bai Zhi laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared, just like the chief steward beside the emperor who was about to wash the beauty and send her to the dragon bed for free!

Jing Shiyue felt uncomfortable being looked at by her. He clenched his fist to cover his lips and coughed lightly, saying, "The guest should follow the host's wishes."

"you sure?"

"determine."

"Ok."

Servants came in and out, and the table in the side hall was soon filled with meals, including red date chicken soup, seafood porridge, steamed sea bass, eight-treasure glutinous rice cake, millet steamed spareribs, and plum wine.

Sitting at the top, Lu Ningshuang had no appetite as usual.

"How is my brother the imperial physician? Do you regret it?"

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jing Shiyue, who sighed slightly.

Don't tell me, I really regret it.

These dishes are too light!

"I was hoping you could order something else so I could try it with you, but my brother the doctor was too polite."

Lu Ningshuang took a sip of the soup and looked bitter. She pushed the remaining half bowl in front of Jing Shiyue pitifully.

"Alas, Baizhi and the others keep a close eye on me, especially when it comes to food. I feel like life is pretty boring."

Jing Shiyue's heart tightened, he drank the chicken soup in one gulp and started praising it loudly.
