Night has just fallen.
In the backyard of Chengguo Mansion, on the corridor at the entrance.
Luo Yu was dressed in a white robe, standing there elegantly, his face as gloomy as water, thinking about something.
Inside the house, Wang was talking in a low voice with a gray-haired old man.
Not long.
Wang Cheng came hurriedly and bowed at the door to report: "Madam, I received news that the boy suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma."
As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yu, who was standing in the corridor next to him, turned his head.
Wang in the room stopped talking, still looking calm: "Have you confirmed?"
Wang Cheng said respectfully: "Everyone in the Qin family was in a panic, in a mess, and looking for a doctor everywhere. The old nanny saw him drink the stuff with her own eyes. The second daughter of the Qin family, who secretly returned from Kyoto, was also frightened and fell ill. It is said that she coughed up a lot of blood. Madam Song was so scared that she collapsed on the ground and needed the help of a maid to stand up and walk..."
Wang stood up from her chair.
Although her expression remained calm and indifferent, the pleasure and excitement of revenge in her eyes could no longer be concealed.
"good."
She said this calmly, her nails clenching the inner sleeves, and two faint traces of blood appeared on both cheeks.
Wang Cheng glanced at her and asked cautiously, "Madam, are you still going to let the Second Madam go over tonight?"
Wang's eyes flashed coldly, and after a pause, she said, "No need, let her go. All other preparations have been withdrawn, and have someone keep an eye on that place at all times."
"yes."
Wang Cheng bent down and prepared to retreat.
Wang suddenly said coldly: "Wang Cheng, I hope to hear that he will miss the exam tomorrow."
Wang Cheng lowered his head and said, "I will keep an eye on that side."
After saying this, Luo Yu, who was standing in the corridor in silence, was about to bow and leave when he suddenly asked, "Uncle Wang, will he die?"
Wang Cheng said quickly, "Second Master, the medicine will not kill him. It will only make him dizzy and weak, and unable to get out of bed. However, if he is too weak, his life may be in danger."
Wang came out of the room and explained, "Yu'er, it was mother who asked them to use this medicine. To poison that little beast now is, firstly, too obvious. The princess is still at the border, and I'm afraid it will cause other troubles and affect your exam. Secondly, it's too easy for that little beast. He has been preparing for this exam for so many years, and mother just wants him to be full of hope, then despair, and miserable."
Luo Yu looked at her and said, "Mother did the right thing. It would be too easy for him to die now."
A sinister smile appeared on his lips: "Let him have a taste of losing everything first."
Wang looked at the resentment in his eyes, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Wang Cheng, what is the reaction of the eldest lady of the Qin family?"
Wang Cheng lowered his head and said, "It seems that Miss Qin is still in her room and has not gone out."
Wang sneered, "Sure enough, not only are they not actually married, but Miss Qin probably still despises that little bastard from the bottom of her heart, and I'm afraid she's hoping for his death sooner rather than later."
Of course, she wasn't just talking to Butler Wang.
Luo Yu's eyes lit up, and the stunning figure in the white dress as white as snow, as beautiful as a fairy, appeared in his mind again.
Wang Cheng glanced at him and retreated silently.
Wang didn't say anything else and turned and went into the house.
"Madam, do you still need me to perform a ritual tonight?"
In the room, the old man in black robe asked.
Wang's face was gloomy and she said, "Let's go and have a look. We must make sure that little beast can't leave the house tomorrow."
"good."
A scarlet light flashed in the sinister eyes of the old man in black robe.
Outside the house, Luo Yu stood in the corridor, his expression dazed. The snow-white, fairy-like figure in his mind could not be shaken off.
at the same time.
The Qin residence was indeed in chaos.
Everyone in the mansion knew that the son-in-law was going to take the imperial examination tomorrow, but who would have thought that something unexpected would happen today.
Scholars study their whole lives just to pass imperial examinations and gain fame.
Everyone was full of hope, hoping that this son-in-law could pass the exam and bring honor to the Qin family and them.
Even the master and mistress were worried about tomorrow's exam.
His wife even cooked in the evening and made a lot of snacks for him to take to the examination room tomorrow.
The master has been going out early and coming back late these days, asking about the exam.
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, the son-in-law suddenly fell ill and fainted.
Everyone in the mansion looked solemn and worried.
After Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue received the news, they went to find a doctor immediately and rushed over.
Qin Chuan, who was practicing martial arts in the yard, also hurried over.
In an instant, Meixiang Garden was brightly lit and many people gathered.
Luo Qingzhou lay on the bed in the inner room of the study, with his eyes closed, motionless.
The doctor sat by the bed, taking the patient's pulse and observing his complexion.
After a while, Fang looked solemn and shook his head.
Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue, who were standing by, felt their hearts sink and their faces turned grim.
Song Ruyue's face turned pale, and she asked hurriedly, "Doctor Sun, what happened to my Qingzhou? Is he sick?"
The doctor took the pulse carefully for a while, then he sighed, stood up and said, "Madam, Master, your son-in-law's illness is very strange. When I checked for the first time, your son-in-law's pulse was disordered and his breathing was unstable, but at least he was breathing, heartbeat and pulse. But when I checked for the second time, your son-in-law's condition was gone, and even his pulse stopped. I thought it was bad, but when I checked again just now, his heartbeat, breathing, pulse, etc. suddenly returned. These things appear and disappear, over and over again, it's strange! I have been a doctor for decades, and I have never seen such a strange disease."
Qin Wenzheng listened impatiently and said with a sullen face: "Just tell me, can you save her or not?"
The doctor sighed and said, "Master Qin, I'm sorry I can't do anything. I'm afraid your son-in-law's illness is..."
"roll!"
Qin Wenzheng yelled angrily, still not satisfied, and suddenly burst out: "Shit! You dare to come and cheat me without any medical skills! Zhou Tong, drag this old man out and beat him to death and feed him to the dogs!"
The doctor's face suddenly changed with fright and he knelt down to beg for mercy.
Zhou Tong agreed outside but didn't dare to come in.
Xia Chan stood at the door holding a sword, while Bai Ling glanced at him and signaled him not to go in.
The doctor ran away in a panic.
"Go find a doctor! Find all the doctors in Mo City for me!"
Qin Wen Zheng roared inside.
Zhou Tong hurriedly agreed and asked the other two doctors standing outside to go in and take a look first.
In less than a moment, two doctors came out covered in dust.
Xiaodie was crying in the room and almost fainted.
Qiu'er has disappeared.
Song Ruyue wiped her tears and said, "Master, what should I do? It's okay if I delay tomorrow's exam. At most, I can take it again in three years, but Qingzhou's illness..."
Qin Wen Zheng was about to curse when he suddenly turned around and looked into the room, as if looking for someone.
Qin Chuan hurriedly came over and frowned, "Dad, are you looking for me? If you have any instructions, just tell me."
"roll!"
Qin Wen Zheng cursed.
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and retreated.
Qin Wen Zheng suddenly left the room and looked around outside, with a hint of suspicion gradually appearing in his eyes.
Bai Ling suddenly said from the side: "Master, my young lady is not feeling well, so she didn't come."
Qin Wen Zheng glanced at her, ignored her, and quickly walked out the door.
Wei Mo didn't come, Zhu'er didn't come, and Qiu'er was missing. It seems that this matter is not simple.
He has to go ask Wei Mo.
In the room, Xiaodie was still crying with red eyes.
Qin Chuan stood nearby, looking worried.
Song Ruyue stood beside the bed, wiping her tears, looking at the unconscious person on the bed, muttering to herself, but no one knew what she was saying.
Qin Chuan wanted to go in and persuade her, but knowing that she was stubborn and competitive, he could only sigh secretly.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou was in a trance, standing on the eaves, bathing in the white moonlight, listening to the crying in the house, and looking at the servants in the yard outside the house.
Just now when the doctor came to take his pulse, he deliberately stimulated the qi and blood in his body to create the illusion of an unstable pulse. Then he spirit left his body, stopped his breathing and heartbeat, and immediately returned to his body, confusing the doctor.
Of course, he wanted to confuse more than just the doctor.
The eldest lady of Chengguo Mansion was trying so hard to deal with him at this critical moment just to prevent him from taking the exam tomorrow.
The second lady was forced to come here today as part of a plan, there must be other plans.
If he doesn't fall today, there may be more schemes waiting for him tonight. Even the second lady will come in a more miserable state and force him out in other ways. Even Xiaolou will be forced by them to lure him into a trap...
So, he decided to take advantage of the situation and just drank the medicine and passed out.
In this case, the other party will see that he has been in trouble and can no longer take part in tomorrow's exam, so other strategies will naturally be unnecessary.
He enjoyed the peace and quiet, which could also prevent the eldest lady from harassing and abusing the mother and daughter.
In order to make things realistic, he must of course deceive the people in the Qin Mansion first.
If the performance is too fake and the other party notices it, all your efforts will be wasted.
As for resolving the issue of Xiaolou being married off, tonight is not a good opportunity, as the other party's preparations from the daytime may still be there.
Only when the other party really thinks that he will not care about the matter and when the other party is completely relaxed, will it be a good opportunity for him to take action.
According to the regulations, you will enter the examination room tomorrow and can only come out three days later.
Therefore, people are safest when they are in the examination room, and this is also the time when others are most likely to relax.
Of course, it is also the most powerful alibi.
That was the best opportunity for him to take action!
As for tonight, let them have fun for now, the best is yet to come.
The moonlight is like water and the evening breeze is gentle.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the roof, planning over and over again in his mind everything he needed to do in the next few days.
The Lingchan Moon Palace not far away was shrouded in a chill.
It was dim inside and I couldn't see anything clearly.
At this moment, on the roof there, stood a moon-white figure, looking at him quietly, motionless.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Her eyes suddenly moved, and her figure flashed and disappeared on the roof.
In a blink of an eye, she arrived above the street in front of the Qin Mansion, then rose into the sky, looking down from above.
There was a cloud of mist floating in the sky above Chengguo Mansion, obscuring the courtyards below, but in her sight, it was extremely clear.
at this time.
In the backyard of a mansion next to Chengguo Mansion, in a room, the doors and windows were closed.
A few red candles are burning and cigarettes are puffing.
An old man in a black robe sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, and a black wooden box was placed in front of him.
The wooden box opened, and a handleless flying sword about half a foot long appeared inside.
