The temperamental white moonlight is back, and the entire Marquis's family obediently calls him

Lu Mingzhao was not used to being served by servants. The first few times she went out, she only took them with her, and did not let them follow her too closely when she was walking around.

So last time, I ran into Prince Wei and he discovered my secret of knowing martial arts.

Lu Mingzhao regretted it very much and decided that he should take some people with him when he went out in the future.

Li Xuanzhou smiled and said, "You can trust her, but I can't. I'm only saying this to you. Will you listen or not?"

Lu Mingzhao paused for a moment, turned to look at Zhao Xianglan, and said slowly, "You go out first and wait at the door."

Zhao Xianglan responded, then glanced warily at Li Xuanzhou.

"If there's any noise inside, I'll come in immediately."

Lu Mingzhao nodded: "Okay, if I can't control myself and make a move, it's good that you stop me."

Zhao Xianglan: "?"

After Zhao's mother left, Lu Mingzhao asked bluntly, "How did you know Zhou Ningchuan refused to see me?"

Li Xuanzhou hadn't expected her to ask this question first, and shook his head with amusement: "Is it some kind of secret?"

"Once the Imperial Observatory's divination is released, the whole capital will probably know that your fates are incompatible. Even the Emperor is eager to order the Marquis of Zhongjing to divorce his wife."

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingzhao frowned and scrutinized the other person's expression repeatedly, seemingly trying to determine whether the other person was lying.

Li Xuanzhou naturally sensed her scrutiny and laughed even harder: "No way, Mrs. Lu, you actually think I'm lying to you? What would I have to lie to you about?"

He laughed for a while before stopping: "But I really didn't expect them to keep it from you so well, and you didn't know anything at all?"

Lu Mingzhao didn't speak. She was recalling the details of the past few days. After learning about this, everything seemed to make sense.

No wonder her eldest son was so stubborn and didn't want her to meet Zhou Ningchuan.

She just couldn't understand why such a ridiculous divination would terrify them all.

It's one thing for the eldest son, but is it also because of this that Zhou Ningchuan is afraid to meet her?

"It seems you really don't know." Li Xuanzhou curled his lips into a smile. "Do you want to know why? If you do, then beg me."

Lu Mingzhao stared at him expressionlessly, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Li Xuanzhou waited for a long time, but under the other party's deep and calm gaze, he finally touched his nose in boredom.

"Mrs. Lu, you're really boring."

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Marquis Zhongjing was wounded by bandits on his way back, and was shot in the abdomen with a poisoned arrow. The poison keeps spreading, and even the Imperial Hospital hasn't found an antidote yet."

"When others hear this, they will naturally connect this matter with the divination results from the Imperial Observatory. Presumably, that's why your sons kept it from you. As for your husband, whether it was because he was afraid of making you worry, or because he was also afraid of what the Imperial Observatory said, is still unknown."

Lu Mingzhao's first reaction was naturally disbelief. She knew Zhou Ningchuan's martial arts skills; how could he possibly be injured by bandits? But Prince Wei had no reason to lie to her.

Besides, how could her son not tell her about something so important...?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingzhao suddenly paused. Yes, it was precisely because the matter was so significant that her son dared not tell her.

After all, her eldest son knows she has returned and understands her feelings for Zhou Ningchuan. If he knew about this, he would definitely be very worried.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingzhao turned to leave, but was stopped by Prince Wei.

"So eager to go back, aren't you going to try and find an antidote for him?"

Lu Mingzhao paused, then realized why the other party had called him over.

"Do you have the antidote?" Lu Mingzhao turned to look at him, her expression hesitant.

Li Xuanzhou smiled slightly, looked at her leisurely, tilted his head, and took out a white porcelain bottle no bigger than a finger from his bosom.

Black pills were faintly visible inside.

Lu Mingzhao took a few steps toward him somewhat hastily, but Li Xuanzhou put the bottle back into his hand.

"When I heard that Marquis Zhongjing was seriously injured, I immediately sent people everywhere to search for him. It was only with great difficulty that I managed to obtain this medicine. Even my royal uncle didn't know about it. I brought it to you immediately."

"Right now, Madam Lu hasn't even offered a word of thanks, which truly saddens me."

Lu Mingzhao pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

"I was rude before. I didn't expect Your Highness to be so magnanimous as to find an antidote for my husband. I am naturally extremely grateful. May I ask what Your Highness desires?"

Li Xuanzhou seemed somewhat surprised that Lu Mingzhao yielded so easily, but she quickly recovered and asked with a smile, "It's still the same question as before: is what you said in your letter true?"

Lu Mingzhao cursed the transmigrated woman in his heart a few more times, but then he thought that if it weren't for the transmigrated woman's letter, Li Xuanzhou might not have found the antidote for her.

She had no choice but to suppress her resentment and answer as sincerely as possible, "I am truly sorry, Your Highness. I really don't know what I wrote to you before. But I can assure you, if it was anything like love at first sight, that was definitely a lie."

Before Li Xuanzhou could raise an eyebrow and ask further, Lu Mingzhao quickly added, "Of course, Your Highness's appearance is unparalleled in the world, but I only have my husband in my heart, so it's impossible for me to be attracted to other men."

Li Xuanzhou paused, staring at her face for a long time, then suddenly asked, "I heard that your husband was late returning home because he was delayed on the way by that girl surnamed Chu who was with him. I suppose you know about this."

"Since he was the one who changed his mind first, why bother trying to salvage what little affection you have left between this young couple?"

Li Xuanzhou's eyes curved slightly, his tone somewhat seductive: "I've heard that Marquis Zhongjing recently intended to divorce his wife. If Madam Lu is willing, the gates of the Prince Wei's residence are always open to her."

"Thank you, Your Highness, but no need. If Your Highness has any other requests, I will try my best to fulfill them." Lu Mingzhao took a deep breath.

Faced with Lu Mingzhao's stubbornness, Li Xuanzhou helplessly pursed his lips.

"Since you've put it that way, then I'll ask you to teach me martial arts. Surely that's not allowed?"

"Teach you martial arts?" Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Lu Mingzhao pursed her lips. "I only have rudimentary skills, how dare I teach you, Your Highness? If you want to learn martial arts, there are plenty of experts willing to teach you, why bother learning from me?"

"I don't care, I want to learn from you. Will you teach me or not?" Li Xuanzhou showed her the small porcelain bottle in his hand again and smiled mischievously.

To Lu Mingzhao, Li Xuanzhou was a very dangerous person. From the beginning until now, she still hadn't figured out what his purpose was in approaching her.

Although the other person acted casually, seemingly approaching her just for fun, she could still sense that he was probing something about her.

Perhaps it was the letter left by the transmigrated woman that caused Li Xuanzhou to misunderstand her. But Li Xuanzhou simply didn't believe her explanation about two souls, so for now she could only deal with it as it came.

Lu Mingzhao made up her mind and reached out her hand to him: "If this medicine really works, I will teach you how to use it."
