”What's going on here?” Grand Preceptor Xie asked the doctors None of them could offer an explanation, because all of the
”Speak!” Grand Preceptor Xie's tone grew severe then The terrified doctors all backed away to opposite sides of the bed
One of the older ones finally piped up, ”The Great General's wounds, Grand Preceptor, you—you've seen them with your own eyes as well”
”Many others have, too,” another doctor spoke up ”None of us would have dared to hide this from you”
Grand Preceptor Xie walked to Chen Lu's bedside He had indeed witnessed the man's injuries, but noas completely healed just like that? How could that happen? While he was puzzling over the i Xiaoyao suddenly appeared in his head It's not like this hasn't happened before…
”Aside fro soui asked ”Xiaoyao, Xie Wenyuan can figure out that you were the one who saved Chen Lu”
Ning Xiaoyao shrugged her shoulders carelessly ”The Grand Preceptor's alanted to bite me to death If he finds out, he'll just want to bite ui raised a hand to rub her head What she says makes sense for once
”Née Xu,” Grand Preceptor Xie atteave him the chance to finish
She looked at Chen Lu and said, ”Weren't you on death's door?”
”I,” Chen Lu began, ”I ran into the Lord Protector Pei Yi during the day He–he wanted to kill—no, his men shot me with arrows, then he hacked me with his shoulder on my shoulder I remember I was…”
”I heard your injuries were severe,” Lady Xu continued ”Tell me, where are your arroound and sword injury? If the Lord Protector dared to kill you, I'll kill hiain before sending a pleading glance towards the Grand Preceptor This was all too incredible for him to take in
Grand Preceptor Xie said, ”His Majesty has a miracle doctor at his side”
Neither the doctors nor Lady Xu took kindly to his words Could any doctor heal an almost dead man in the blink of an eye? That wasn't a ht immortal!
”Oh,” Lady Xu said simply She didn't look at Grand Preceptor Xie, but stared at Chen Lu instead ”So there was a miracle doctor His Majesty tried to kill you, then sent his doctor to save you Just what is His Majesty doing?”
Chen Lu was still looking towards Grand Preceptor Xie Just what is His Majesty doing?
”Naturally, to win his goodwill,” Grand Preceptor Xie replied easily
”Goodwill,” Lady Xu echoed ”Why would His Majesty want a man who couldn't even defeat the Lord Protector in coht as well call Great General Chen a useless good-for-nothing directly instead Going around in circles like this is tiring to hear
”Young lady, ah,” Grand Preceptor Xie sighed, ”You're Xu Jing's daughter”
Lady Xu finally looked at Grand Preceptor Xi ”So it's this consort who hurt Great General Chen”
”No, that's not what the Grand Preceptor meant,” Chen Lu waved his hands at née Xu so she could stop talking
”Where's the copper fish?” Lady Xu asked
Chen Lu looked around the bed, then at Grand Preceptor Xie Where's the Chen Clan copper fish I keep hidden onclothes for Great General Chen?” Grand Preceptor Xie asked the servants
The servants exchanged glances before discovering that the two pageboys in charge of waiting on Great General Chen had disappeared
”It must have been His Majesty,” Grand Preceptor XieYu eboys But what does she need the at Chen Lu
Chen Lu only felt jumpy as he faced his ith a sheepish sratulate the general for having both a son and daughter now”
”What?” Chen Lu was flabbergasted Where did this cohter, would they have spent the last few years asking doctors forsisters, ah,” Lady Xu said
”W, what née Xiang sisters?” Chen Lu asked Grand Preceptor Xie again Did so happen while I was unconscious?
”Where did these née Xiang sisters come from?” Grand Preceptor Xie asked Lady Xu
”The Grand Preceptor was their e certificate in your estate,” Lady Xu said as she set a pair of flowers like them so easily, Grand Preceptor”
Grand Preceptor Xie'son ”Lass, don't fall for others' attempt to sow discord Think about it yourself, His Majesty—the rest of you, withdraw,” He stopped halfway to address the crowd in the room
The doctors and all of the Grand Preceptor's servants i,” Chen Lu flared up ”I don't know any wo!”
Lady Xu only smiled coldly
