Chapter 263: Elder Li’s Message (2/2)

Cai Ling might be curious but she was a servant and if Bai Luochu didn’t want to speak about the reason behind the different treatment, she couldn’t be the one to ask. Cai Ling simply acknowledged the order.

Bai Luochu thought to herself: Pei Qingfeng did so much for me in the dark… I should treat him a little better, although he is rather annoying at times. As a prince, he should have a virtuous character after studying literature and etiquette in the palace, but it feels like he has thrown it all away. I am a lady waiting to marry and he acts intimately with me. This might be my second life and I might have not cared about my reputation in the past. Well, in this life, I’m sure I can’t be bothered by it as well. In any case, shouldn’t a member of the imperial clan be more mindful of his behavior?

Bai Luochu shook her head when she noticed that her head was filled with Pei Qingfeng. She felt that she was possessed by a ghost and Elder Li was the cause of all her troubles. As Bai Luochu was thinking, she closed her eyes and concentrated on trying to remove the words ‘Pei Qingfeng’ and everything related to him from her mind. After composing herself, Bai Luochu returned to her secluded courtyard and started to concoct medicine.

At the same time, Elder Li’s personal attendant arrived at the Second Prince’s residence. He spoke to the guard at the entrance, “Can I trouble you to relay a message to His Second Highness that Physician Li of the Hundred Herbs Hall has something to tell him?.”

The moment the attendant introduced himself, the guard ran into the residence. Before long, the attendant was escorted to the study.

“Speak. What did Elder Li say?” Before the attendant could speak, Pei Qingfeng spoke up. Pei Qingfeng’s intuition told him that the matter was definitely related to the little lass.

Pei Qingfeng never thought that he would be put in a difficult spot because of this message.

“Today, Divine Physician Bai visited the Hundred Herbs Hall to purchase some medicinal...” Pei Qingfeng interrupted him the moment he opened his mouth.

“Hold on, what did you say? Luoluo went to purchase medicine at your place? What’s wrong with her? Is she ill?” Recently, Bai Luochu left the residence through the tunnel and Pei Qingfeng wasn’t able to keep tabs on her. He assumed that she had not left the residence for several days. When he heard that Bai Luochu had visited the Hundred Herbs Hall to purchase medicine, he immediately associated it with her quiet behavior. His mind immediately wandered off.

The attendant was complaining about how he was unable to roll his eyes further back into his head. He is so concerned about her… Why doesn’t he actually do something about it?

The attendant suddenly felt that Elder Li was up to no good. However, it might be a good thing for the both of them as without Elder Li’s ‘timely’ message, they might miss the perfect opportunity!

Even though the attendant was complaining about Pei Qingfeng in his heart, he didn’t dare to say it out loud. His expression remained unchanged as he addressed the Second Prince with respect, “Second Highness, please be at ease. Divine Physician Bai is in good health. She came to the Hundred Herbs Hall to purchase medicinal ingredients. This subordinate will now relay Elder Li’s message.”
