Chapter 263: Elder Li’s Message (1/2)

“Elder Li, are you done? There are still plenty of patients waiting for you!” An attendant in the inner hall yelled.

“Coming, coming.” Elder Li walked into the inner hall quickly. As it turned out, Elder Li was using his rest time to speak with Bai Luochu.

When Elder Li returned to his seat, he called for his personal attendant and said, “Go and deliver a message to His Second Highness. Tell him that the lass from the general’s residence came to visit me. I told that lass everything about how he invited me to rescue her in the past. If he asks for the reason, tell him that this old man thinks he is acting too slowly. Moreover the lass seems a little slow in noticing such things. This old man merely helped him to speed things up. You have to personally relay the message, understand?”

When the attendant heard the orders, he started to complain, “You are always causing trouble before sending me in to get scolded in your stead...”

Before the attendant could finish his words, Elder Li interrupted him, “Do you think I’m old and hard of hearing? Stop complaining!”

The attendant had no choice but to do as he was told.

Bai Luochu was already on the way back to the general’s residence. Along the way, Elder Li’s words rang in her mind. Bai Luochu thought to herself, Pei Qingfeng actually did so much for me… What else do I not know?

Bai Luochu didn’t dare to continue her train of thought. Just like this, Bai Luochu panicked along the way and didn’t even notice that she had arrived at the general’s residence.

When Cai Ling saw that Bai Luochu was preoccupied with her thoughts, she asked in concern, “Mistress, what is wrong? You look distracted. Did something happen? Why don’t you talk about it and let me solve the problem with you?”

Bai Luochu finally came back to her senses after hearing Cai Ling’s words. She then instructed Cai Ling, “I will be concocting medicine in the residence for the next few days. I’ve never done these before and I cannot afford to make a mistake. If someone comes to look for me, reject them for me and say that I am in seclusion. In the future, I will visit them to offer my apologies.”

“Mistress, are you really not going to see anyone?” Cai Ling understood that Bai Luochu had been very busy recently. One moment, it was the First Prince, the other moment, it would be the Second Prince. Just a few days ago, the Third Prince came knocking at the door. Putting aside the imperial princes, there was also Lu Wenshu. If these people were to visit one after the other, Cai Ling wasn’t sure if she could deal with them.

Bai Luochu muttered for a moment before continuing, “If the First Prince visits, just say that I will definitely invite him for dinner in the future and will comply with the promise between the two of us.” Bai Luochu said.

Cai Ling felt rather curious after hearing what Bai Luochu said. Previously, Mistress yelled at Pei Qingfeng for sticking to her like glue. Wasn’t she annoyed at him?
