Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

"Your Excellency is quite right in one point."

Lang Si stared at him and asked meaningfully.

"Of course, accomplices will kill each other, but I don't believe that Lu Yuanpan can use some kind of sorcery to kill people. If he can kill people silently, why would he bother to save them? Isn't that against common sense? Is there such a fool in the world?"

Meng Kui's eyes flickered slightly after being choked by the second sentence, but soon returned to normal.

"Just for Lang Chenshi to admit it is fine. As for why he came to the rescue and what conflicts of interest arose between the two of them, I don't know. Therefore, we must investigate thoroughly."

He stepped aside and looked at the wall. "I know that Lang Jianshi and Lu Yuanpan have a personal relationship, but you have to understand that public and private matters must be clearly distinguished. You must not get yourself involved for the sake of a personal relationship. If you bring trouble to those around you, that would be disastrous."

Meng Kui turned around and walked to Tu Yizhou's side. "What do you think? Captain Tu?"

Tu Yizhou's face was sullen and he said in a hard voice, "Your Excellency is right."

Meng Kui raised the corner of his lips slightly, looked at the waiter, and ordered in a cold voice, "Interrogate everyone strictly. I want to investigate this case personally."

Xiaoliu put the medicine down and went out. Lu Ziqing lay listlessly on the bed, watching Xiao Yan take the medicine bowl, blew on it, and then drank the medicine spoonful by spoonful that was fed to his mouth, looking at him without blinking.

Xiao Yan had been watching the medicine spoon being put into his mouth, and had long noticed the gaze staring at him. He raised his eyes slightly and caught the man's instantaneous flash.

"Is there something on my face?"

"Ah?" Lu Ziqing seemed a little slow, but then quickly realized, "Yes."

Xiao Yan handed over a spoonful of medicine, "What is it?"

"Hagged." Lu Ziqing responded softly, "And I feel bad."

"I've been busy with the government lately, and I haven't slept well." Xiao Yan said casually, "It has nothing to do with you. Just focus on the acupuncture and medication and relax your mind."

Lu Ziqing sighed inwardly, took the bowl and drank the remaining bitterness along with the sorrow in his heart. He wanted to take the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, but Xiao Yan naturally avoided it and wiped it for him.

It’s so annoying!

He slowly closed his eyes and thought, what should he do if this continues?

Xiao Yan's initiative, enthusiasm, and care are truly considerate of a friend and confidant, but he has other thoughts.

Lu Ziqing felt very embarrassed. He didn't want to show his displeasure to others because of this kind of thing, and make their good intentions feel cold. He didn't want people to think that he was ungrateful. He could no longer say those cold words.

But what if I don’t say anything and Xiao Yan continues like that?

He is not an emperor who can control the distance between him and others. He is just an ordinary person who has received favors from others. He cannot help but repay the favor.

However, nowadays, those two kinds of emotions are intertwined, and it seems really difficult to treat them separately. As long as you reject them indifferently, it would be an invisible slander.

He felt extremely depressed, helpless and angry. He felt like a third party who had interfered with someone else's marriage, and a man at that?

If this were to get out, he would be drowned in the spit of the world, and Xiao Yan would have to bear the infamy and ridicule.

Those thoughts turned into a mess in his mind along with fatigue. Lu Ziqing sighed silently again and raised his hand to rub his head.

Xiao Yan put down the bowl, reached out to help rub it, and asked, "What's wrong? It's starting to hurt again."

Lu Ziqing had his eyes closed, but was startled open by the hand that reached out unexpectedly. He looked helpless and could only utter the word "bitter" in reply.

"Bitter medicine tastes good." Xiao Yan said as he took out the wedding candy from under the mattress at the head of the bed, "Eating candy will make it less bitter."

When Lu Ziqing saw the candy, his heart skipped a beat and he moved uncomfortably a little. He explained, "This is... I, I forgot to eat it."

Xiao Yan was about to open it, but stopped when he heard the words, and became interested in asking him.

"I didn't ask you about the whole story of this candy, so why are you explaining this? Now that you've mentioned it, I'm a little curious. If you're not going to eat it, why did you put it under the mattress?"

This sentence was very common, but Lu Ziqing felt that it was like boiling water, which made him anxious and blushed.

"I told you I forgot to eat. I was so tired when I got home, and I just dropped it when I sat down on the bed. I don't know how it ended up on the mattress."

"Oh?" Xiao Yan thought of the way he clutched the candy while he was unconscious, and nodded silently. "Maybe one of them was afraid that the candy would get damaged, so they just casually put it under the mattress. It's okay, I'll eat it now."

"No." Lu Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't want to eat, you eat it yourself."

"Then wait for me."

Xiao Yan casually put the candy on the table, stood up and went out the door. Lu Ziqing came back with his eyes lowered, covering his face in embarrassment.

He felt a bit stupid. It was just a piece of candy, hidden under the mattress. He was really trying to cover up his mistake and let someone find it on the spot. Then...

As he spoke, his previously rusty brain suddenly reacted. How did Xiao Yan know that there was candy hidden under the mattress?

That is... Could it be that I had seen it when I was unconscious before?

Lu Ziqing seemed to be struck by lightning, and covered his face with his hands in embarrassment again. After a long while, he opened his fingers a little, and tried hard to open his black eyes to recall.

"I... probably didn't hold it in my hand to look at it, right? Definitely not. No one else knew that Lao Su gave it to me. Maybe Lao Su told him there was sugar under the mattress, and he was afraid I'd find the medicine too bitter and eat it. Yes, that's definitely the case."

"What is it like?"

Lu Ziqing was talking to himself and didn't notice the movement outside at all. He was so scared by the sudden question that he almost screamed. He subconsciously pulled up the quilt to cover his head. He felt as nervous and embarrassed as if he had been caught stealing someone's things. His heart was pounding.

Seeing his guilty look, Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile and tried to pull the quilt, but Lu Ziqing pulled it tightly and he couldn't move it for a while. He had to put down the bowl and pat the quilt to comfort him.

"Aren't you feeling suffocated? Take off the quilt quickly. I got you some sugar water. Get up and drink it."

The person under the quilt didn't respond, but just shook his head left and right. It was the first time Xiao Yan saw Lu Ziqing playing tricks, and he thought it was cute like a child.

He smiled silently, waited for a while, sat closer, gently pinched the quilt with both hands and suddenly pulled it down with force. In an instant, Lu Ziqing was stunned for a moment. Under the smiling eyes in front of him, he was like a frightened deer, and raised his hands to cover his face in panic.

At the same time, he didn't know why he was hiding from her nervously. He always felt that whatever he did was wrong.

He said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to drink. I'm not feeling well. My Lord, please leave me alone for a while."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Yan laughed silently. "Then I can't leave. I'll stay with you tonight."

Lu Ziqing panicked again when he heard this, and he immediately changed his words, "No, I mean I'm almost well now, and you can leave now."

"Are you okay?" Xiao Yan quietly approached and stopped, staring at the pair of smooth, slender hands, and asked softly, "Then I need to check before I can leave, otherwise I won't leave."

Lu Ziqing believed it and just as he moved his hand away, he saw Xiao Yan's smiling face half an arm's length away from him. He was so scared that he wanted to dodge away again.

But this time Xiao Yan didn't give in. He suddenly grabbed Lu Ziqing's wrists and pressed them on the bed.
