Chapter 50: Reward in Hand (1/2)
The moment Pei Rumo walked far away, Bai Luochu heaved a sigh of relief. When Pei Rumo came, Bai Luochu knew that he was here to probe her. Rather than being resigned to her fate, why not take the initiative and deny the First Prince an opportunity to interrogate her?
It seemed like this Pei Rumo knew about this body’s original owner... Now that her medical skills had been discovered, he would definitely ask someone to investigate her before coming to do the interrogation. But she was a little curious as to what had Pei Rumo found out.
On the way back to the study room, Pei Rumo had been thinking about Bai Luochu’s behavior. She might seem extremely composed, but in fact, her qi presence was very unstable. It was obvious that she was busy hiding something she didn’t want him to notice. When Pei Rumo used his spirit energy to scan the place, he didn’t notice anyone else’s presence as well. It seemed like this servant girl was truly plotting something and it was better to ask someone to monitor her closely. He definitely didn’t want the First Prince’s residence to be drawn into her scheme.
This wasn’t the only problem right now. The thing that gave Pei Rumo the worst headache was Bai Luochu’s drastic change in temperament after coming out of the Bestial Battle Arena. If she had amnesia, it would only be enough to explain her lack of knowledge in etiquette and the memory of her own past. Alas, she developed some sort of strange and unpredictable movement skill in the Bestial Battle Arena. Not to mention her extraordinary medical skills and knowledge on the art of poison. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that her skills were unmatched in the world.
Furthermore, even if her temperament had changed drastically, the way she conducted herself and dealt with matters felt like those people who lived a carefree life in the martial world. Her temper was also extremely terrible.
From the looks of it, the current Luo Chu was truly poles apart compared to the weak, crippled, upright, and warmhearted Luo Chu from the general’s residence. Could it be that she was stimulated after going through a life and death situation?
In fact, Pei Rumo had already developed some suspicion when Bai Luochu poisoned Su Luoqing and made a deal with him. He suspected that the current Luo Chu was no longer the same as the previous Luo Chu, but the thought was simply too outrageous...
It didn’t matter if it was Bai Luochu who had reincarnated into this body or if it was Luo Chu whose hatred and fate allowed her to sacrifice her body for the sake of exacting revenge. All these sounded a little too ridiculous.
The plan, for now, was for him to pay attention to the situation in the imperial court. As for Bai Luochu, her mysteries would surface sooner or later.
When Pei Rumo’s thoughts reached this juncture, his originally heavy mood lightened up quite a bit, allowing him to move even faster. He was preparing to return to the study room and rearrange that board of ingenious chess play.
Over at the other side, Bai Luochu made sure that Pei Rumo had really left. Just as she was going to take her refined recruitment plan out, there was another knocking sound on the door.
