Chapter 393: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Once she regained her balance and saw clearly who had almost bumped into her, Zhu Yu frowned even more deeply.

Standing before her was none other than Yan Daoxin, the very Yan Daoxin who should have been guarding those intoxicated Chang'e.

"Did I bump into you just now?" Yan Daoxin noticed that Zhu Yu's expression was not quite right and thought that he had not stopped properly and had hurt her, so he quickly asked.

"How did you end up here?" Zhu Yu asked, not bothering to answer his question.

"It's because that bastard Lu Zhang is about to die, so I rushed over to check on him. I have to keep him alive no matter what!" Yan Daoxin spread his hands helplessly. "Although I don't like him, Lu Qing is here now. If this guy dies here, I'm afraid Lu Qing won't be able to explain himself."

His maternal grandfather was not one to speak human language or reason!

After hearing his words, Zhu Yu's expression became even more serious. He reached out and pushed Yan Daoxin away, saying, "Lu Zhang won't die. I'll take care of things here. You go back and watch over Chang'e Zui!"

Yan Daoxin was taken aback, then seemed to understand. He nodded, turned around, and quickly ran back.

Zhu Yu took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and made her expression look natural and calm again before stepping inside.

Lu Zhang has now been settled in a bed in the room. Although the bed is simple, at least it allows him to lie there comfortably, and it is generally clean.

Seeing Zhu Yu enter and walk straight to the bedside, Lu Qing didn't react much. On the contrary, Lu Zhang, who was lying on the bed, became a little uncomfortable and struggled to sit up, but Lu Qing pressed him back down.

"Don't move around. Let Chief Secretary Yu take your pulse. Although her pulse diagnosis skills are not as good as Yan Daoxin's, she is more than capable of diagnosing common ailments," Lu Qing said to Lu Zhang.

Zhu Yu didn't give them any more chance to discuss it. At this moment, she placed her fingers on Lu Zhang's wrist, lowered her eyelids, and quietly felt the pulse transmitted through her fingertips.

A moment later, she released her grip and nodded to Lu Zhang: "His Highness Prince Yi is fine. His pulse is stable. I guess he was either frightened or didn't get enough rest and was too tired."

As she spoke, she leaned down again, gently pushing Lu Zhang's temples with the fingers of one hand, turning his face to the other side without a word, and with the other hand she gripped his neck, carefully examining the spot where the fake fortress lord had grabbed him. After a thorough inspection, she finally released both hands and solemnly bowed to Lu Zhang, saying, "I was abrupt just now, please forgive me, Your Highness."

Lu Zhang was too embarrassed to say anything else, his face turned red, and he nodded hurriedly: "What are you saying, Chief Secretary Yu? I should thank Chief Secretary Yu for checking me."

"Your Highness, please rest here for a while and get ready to get up later." Zhu Yu remained polite as he spoke, while giving Lu Qing a wink.

Lu Qing understood immediately and nodded to Lu Zhang, then called to Zhu Yu, "In that case, Chief Secretary Yu, please come out with me. Don't delay His Highness Prince Yi's rest here."

The two left the room, told Lu Zhang's men to close the door and keep a close watch, and then left the small courtyard.

Zhu Yu gestured for Lu Qing to come with her to the place where Yan Daoxin was guarding Chang'e's Drunkenness. After turning two corners, she looked back.

“Don’t worry, he’s not here. You can talk to him about anything.” Lu Qing understood what she was looking for, so she told Zhu Yu with certainty. “There’s something fishy about this.” Zhu Yu had only suspected it before, but now she was quite certain. “When I said Lu Zhang’s pulse was stable, I wasn’t just saying it casually; it was true.”

If there were anything particularly unusual about his pulse, I certainly wouldn't have been able to detect it.

"And the wound on his neck, I just examined it carefully. That fake fortress lord seemed to have pinched him quite hard, as if his nails were digging into his flesh, but in reality, he controlled the force quite skillfully, only leaving a few nail marks on Lu Zhang's neck. Forget about the injury, you probably won't even be able to find him tomorrow morning."

"Oh? It was pitch black just now, with only a few torches, so I didn't see very clearly." Lu Qing was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised, but not much. "Was there anything else?"

“Lu Zhang is clearly fine. Even when we were most worried, no one was concerned about his life,” Zhu Yu frowned and continued, “but I almost bumped into Yan Daoxin at the door. He was supposed to be guarding Chang'e Zui.”

He rushed over because someone told him that Lu Zhang was dying and begged him to come quickly to save him.

He was worried that Lu Zhang's mysterious death here would implicate you and put you in a passive position, so he rushed over. Luckily, he bumped into me at the door and I sent him back.

"Well done." Lu Qing smiled and nodded, reaching out to smooth Zhu Yu's brow.

"Stop fooling around, or someone will see!" Zhu Yu hurriedly backed away. "I haven't finished talking about my important business yet!"
"That fake lord of the fortress just now, besides knowing everything about your ancestors' fate and deliberately provoking you with his words, do you remember those few lines of poetry he suddenly and inexplicably recited?"

“Of course.” Seeing that Zhu Yu also had a deep impression of those few lines of poetry, Lu Qing’s brows relaxed a little. “He said, ‘The mountain is lofty, and the clouds dwell on its peak. Climbing those layers of clouds, the mountain mist is vast and green.’ I heard it very clearly.”

"I thought it was a bit strange at the time. Why would someone suddenly start reciting poetry halfway through a fight? But after thinking about it carefully, I think I suddenly understood the meaning of those lines!" Zhu Yu looked around. "The phrase 'mountains are lofty and steep' means tall and precipitous mountains, doesn't it? And the character '嶂' in '陆嶂' also means towering, like a screen or barrier, high mountains, doesn't it?"

Lu Qing nodded: "That's true."

“Clouds perch atop the mountain… Clouds drift over the mountaintop, accompanying it…” Zhu Yu snorted, “The last two lines mean something similar.”

Was the female manager of the Tze-Lan Shop that Lu Yan used to tease and ridicule Lu Zhang before named Gu Lingyun?
Isn't that too much of a coincidence? Lu Zhang has mountains, and Gu Lingyun has clouds.

Previously, when Lu Yan used Gu Lingyun to tease Lu Zhang, Lu Zhang appeared extremely embarrassed, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

When the fake fortress lord suddenly recited those few lines of poetry, Lu Zhang was also immediately astonished and bewildered, as if he had been frightened out of his wits.

That left me no choice but to worry!

Could there really be some past relationship between him and that supposedly stunningly beautiful female manager of the shoe shop?
