Chapter 157 A blessing in disguise
After that, Yan Daoxin did not stay in Lu Qing's room for too long.

Firstly, everything that needed to be said had been made clear. Secondly, although Lu Qing was not injured in any vital parts, he was still seriously injured and needed more rest.

The topic between the two of them just now also requires him to think about it quietly by himself.

After Zhu Yu returned to his room, he fell headfirst onto the bed and fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside was dark, with only a faint glow on the horizon.

I actually slept through the entire day!

Zhu Yu hurried over to check on Lu Qing's condition and learned that he had just taken the medicine not long ago and was still asleep. His overall condition had improved compared to before, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Qing was not awake during dinner, so Zhu Yu, Yan Daoxin, and the two brothers Fu Wen and Fu Lu had a simple meal together.

Not long after the meal, some imperial guards arrived at the post station and brought a lot of medicinal herbs. They said that they were following Situ Jing's orders to deliver some high-quality medicinal herbs for Yan Daoxin's use. If there was anything missing, just send someone to let him know and he would send more.

Yan Daoxin first took a look at the medicinal herbs that were sent over and found that they were indeed high-quality good things, so he prepared a tonic prescription for Lu Qing.

He took Zhu Yu's pulse and then asked Fu Wen to make a prescription for Zhu Yu as well.

"I'm not injured. I've just been through a lot in the army and I'm a little tired. I don't need to drink special tonic, do I?" Zhu Yu declined.

"This stuff can cure illnesses and strengthen the body. It has no harmful effects." Yan Daoxin looked at Zhu Yu as if he were a fool. "What's more, the herbs that Situ Jing got are all of the best quality. You won't even see them in ordinary pharmacies.

Isn't it obvious that he feels he owes Lu Qing something? So he uses it whenever he can, no need to be polite to him. The more he uses it, the more serious the injury, and the more guilty he feels.

So if you drink some tonic, you are also helping Lu Qing."

Since Yan Daoxin had said so much, Zhu Yu certainly couldn't refuse anymore, nor did he feel comfortable saying that he was afraid of hardship, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

That night, Fu Wen brought a bowl of black medicinal soup to her door, and according to Yan Daoxin's instructions, he watched her drink it while it was hot before leaving.

This tonic can be taken for ten days.

During these ten days, Lu Qing's physical condition improved visibly. On the eighth day, he was able to stand up on his own and walk around the room.

However, Yan Daoxin still didn't allow him to move too much, so as to avoid rushing things and failing to recover from his previous injury halfway through.

When Zhu Yu had nothing to do, he would go to Lu Qing's room to chat with him and keep him company.

There was only one thing that made her feel a little strange. That was that although Situ Jing often sent his imperial guards to deliver some medicinal herbs, supplements and the like during these ten days, and he always responded to Yan Daoxin's requests, he himself had never come to visit Lu Qing once.

This made Zhu Yu feel a little uneasy.

"We can't... lose all our efforts and you got hit by his sword in vain, right?" After waiting for another two days, Zhu Yu finally couldn't help it and found a time when Lu Qing was in high spirits to ask.

Hearing her concerns, Lu Qing raised an eyebrow and looked over: "Why do you say that?" "It's been twelve days since we left the camp that day. During this time, even though we just put down such a big commotion, and Situ Jing still has a lot of things to deal with, it's not like he's been so busy that he can't come visit."

Zhu Yu casually picked up a bag of supplements that Situ Jing had sent over: "Not only that, every time Situ Jing sent someone to deliver something, he always sent the Imperial Guards from the Imperial Guards Camp, and never once did he send his own personal soldiers.

Is this suggesting to us that public is public and private is private, and they should not be confused?
Logically speaking, you really helped him a lot this time. If it weren't for your plan and the antidote prepared by Yan Daoxin, I'm afraid even if he didn't die in the camp, it would be difficult for him to explain to the emperor.

By then, not only will his future be ruined, but General Situ and his brother might also be implicated."

"I'm afraid he didn't come because of his father and brother." Lu Qing smiled faintly, helped Zhu Yu stand up, and paced back and forth in the room to prevent the bones from rusting due to resting for too long. "I'm afraid he has guessed my identity."

"You mean... King Xiaoyao?" Zhu Yu was surprised.

Lu Qing was amused by her unconcealed surprise: "You, it's too early to be surprised.

Not only me, but you too.

Unless General Situ believes that I have any unusual habits or vices, he has probably already guessed about our relationship."

"Because of the gold-thread soft armor? What's the origin of that thing? Is it related to your life experience?" Zhu Yu had guessed before that the gold-thread soft armor that Lu Qing insisted on him wearing was something very special, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to ask.

The conversation just happened to get to this point today, so she just asked directly.

Zhu Yu had already figured this out over the past few days. Lu Qing wasn't surprised. He reached out and rubbed Zhu Yu's furrowed brows with his fingers. "Don't worry. Even if Situ Jing saw through this, he wouldn't rashly reveal it. Otherwise, it wouldn't benefit the Situ family. After all, His Majesty doesn't want others to know. Anyone who knows it, regardless of whether they uncovered it on their own initiative or not, will be guilty of a crime."

Zhu Yu remained silent, as if lost in thought. His brows, which had just been smoothed by Lu Qing, slowly wrinkled again: "Perhaps Situ Jing is not the first person to discover this secret?

The characteristics displayed by the imperial guards who had problems in the Lizhou camp were all the two poisonous herbs from the Jie Kingdom, and had nothing to do with the Shuo Kingdom.

But after you came here, the poison here suddenly contained the poison known only as Laijiao from Shuo Country. It was clearly prepared especially for you."

"Yes." Lu Qing laughed. He took a deep breath too quickly, which hurt the wound and made him want to cough, but he had to control the movement. "With your intelligence, I am not surprised that you can come to this conclusion.

I never thought they would prepare such a generous gift just for me. I will definitely remember this favor."

"Now that Situ Jing is like this... our original plan..." Zhu Yu glanced at Lu Qing's chest with some concern. He looked much more energetic now, and his clothes were neatly dressed, but the shocking wound seemed still vivid in his mind.

"Don't worry. A blessing in disguise. In my opinion, Situ Jing's awareness is actually a good thing for us." Lu Qing didn't seem to be worried, and his expression showed a sense of confidence as if he had won.
