Chapter 329: Lu Wenshu’s Participation (1/2)
When Pei Rumo disregarded everything and rushed in, Bai Luochu was still sipping on her tea. As he was in a rush, Bai Luochu wasn’t able to identify the newcomer as Pei Rumo and she nearly threw the teacup at him. When she looked closely, she managed to withdraw the cup right before it left her hand.
“Why is Your First Highness in such a hurry? I thought some assassin was here for my life and I was preparing to make a move.” Bai Luochu realized that the First Prince was standing in front of her and she immediately exchanged pleasantries.
As for Pei Rumo, his eyes lit up when he saw Bai Luochu sitting in front of him. “Have you thought it through?”
Bai Luochu could see the expectant look in Pei Rumo’s eyes and she decided to go straight to the point. She nodded, “The conditions that Your First Highness proposed is very tempting. It’s not impossible for me to go to the Desolate Region as an army physician...”
After hearing Bai Luochu’s reply, Pei Rumo sat down in front of the table and said to Bai Luochu, “It’s an honor to bring Divine Physician Bai along on the campaign. Your presence allows us to rest easy.”
Bai Luochu was rather fed up with Pei Rumo’s superficial exchange but managed to keep her contempt from showing. She replied, “Your First Highness is being too serious. The reason I am here today is to discuss something more important.”
Pei Rumo was startled at first but he immediately composed himself. With Bai Luochu’s personality, if she didn’t have anything else to say, she would simply send Cai Ling to deliver the message. He urged her to speak about her concerns.
Just as Bai Luochu was about to speak, Zi Su entered the room and interrupted them.
“Master, Young Lady Luo Chu, Young Master Lu has arrived and wishes to meet with the two of you.”
Young Master Lu? Lu Wenshu?! Who else with the surname ‘Lu’ would request a meeting with Pei Rumo? Bai Luochu instantly became suspicious of the campaign and thought about the reason behind Lu Wenshu’s appearance.
As thoughts ran through her mind, Lu Wenshu entered the study room.
“Your First Highness, Divine Physician Bai, this one offers his greetings.” Lu Wenshu greeted the two of them.
Pei Rumo saw the polite Lu Wenshu and he felt that he would be disrespecting the expert if he were to give a casual reply, “Young Master Lu is too polite. Why is Young Master Lu here?”
Lu Wenshu didn’t immediately reply and turned to look at Bai Luochu. She turned her gaze out of the window the moment Lu Wenshu turned to look at her.
