That guy is no good; we absolutely must not let him get close to Xie Lin!

Hawthorne threw herself in front of Lu Ming, staring intently at him...

She wanted to know what this person was trying to do!

His repeated attempts to approach me with ill intentions clearly had a purpose!

Huo Sanghua knew perfectly well that Lu Ming would never repeat the same things he had told her to Xie Shu. Xie Shu must not know this man's true identity to believe him and bring him to treat Xie Lin...

"No!" She stood between Lu Ming and Xie Lin, glaring at Lu Ming with a mixture of grief and anger. "Who are you? Are you trying to harm Xie Lin?!"

Upon hearing Sang Hua say that Lu Ming wanted to harm Xie Lin, Xie Shu hesitated at first, but soon... his concern for Xie Lin overcame his suspicion of Lu Ming.

He didn't know what Sang Hua had misunderstood, but Xie Lin's condition was critical, and no imperial physician dared to take on the task of treating him.

Since Lu Ming expressed confidence, he had no choice but to place his hopes on Lu Ming. "Sang Hua, I invited Lu Ming. He can treat A Lin."

"No, only him won't do." Seeing Lu Ming's mocking, provocative gaze, she became even more certain of his ill intentions. She desperately wanted to reveal everything Lu Ming had said to her that day, to make Xie Shu understand that Lu Ming was far more complex than he appeared! "Because he is... he, he is..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he dared not utter a single one.

Even if it was something Lu Ming had told her himself...

But this fire will inevitably reach her. Once she's linked to a descendant of the previous dynasty, regardless of whether she ultimately has the chance to prove the truth, she'll attract the attention of many people, and she might not even live to see the day she proves her innocence...

As if knowing she couldn't say it, Lu Ming secretly curled the corners of his mouth and tilted his head at her provocatively.

Who is he... ...I can't say!

But he is definitely not a good person! His infiltration of the Xie family and his acquaintance with Xie Shu were probably all part of a carefully planned conspiracy. At this moment, Xie Lin is seriously injured and unconscious. Once he falls into his trap, he won't even have the ability to fight back!

Xie Shu was still observing Sang Hua's reaction, waiting for her to continue, when she began to have some suspicions about Lu Ming.

Sang Hua's words caught in her throat, and she couldn't finish them, leaving everyone wondering what she was trying to say...

Xie Shu was also in a dilemma.

Just as Xie Hou was about to speak up to defuse the situation, he suddenly heard Eunuch Zhou calling him from outside the hall, saying that His Majesty had urgent business to discuss with him.

Before leaving, he solemnly patted Xie Shu on the shoulder, entrusting everything here to him.

Xie Shu looked serious and was immediately at a loss.

He believed in Sang Hua...

In his memory, Sang Hua was by no means an unreasonable person, and there must be a reason for her unusual behavior today.

But he was also worried about Ah Lin's injuries. None of the imperial physicians in the palace were reliable, and no one dared to risk treating Ah Lin's injuries. Only Lu Ming said that he had once treated someone who had been hit by the same hidden weapon as Ah Lin, and that the person had survived.

After a brief hesitation, he clenched his fist hanging at his side, "Help."

This command was given to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming gave Huo Sanghua a meaningful look, then deliberately waited in the same spot, hoping that Huo Sanghua would make way for him.

"No, we can't let him get close to Xie Lin. Xie Lin is unconscious right now, he..." Seeing Lu Ming's reaction, Huo Sanghua became even more certain that he had no good intentions and would never really treat Xie Lin. "No! He, he's not a good person!"

"Sang Hua, there's no other way now." Xie Shu had no choice but to personally pull Sang Hua away from Lu Ming.

"Young Master, believe me, he won't save Xie Lin, he'll harm Xie Lin..." Huo Sanghua clearly saw the threat in Lu Ming's eyes. She knew that Lu Ming was going to make a move against Xie Lin!

They took advantage of Xie Lin's unconscious state, when he was unable to even put up the slightest resistance.

Was she just supposed to watch Xie Lin get murdered?!

“Sang Hua… ..."

"Young Master, you must believe me, he really... I, I know he... he will harm Xie Lin!" Huo Sanghua was extremely anxious, but she couldn't break free from Xie Shu's tight grip. Seeing Lu Ming approaching Xie Lin, she could only hysterically beg Xie Shu to believe her.

Do not let momentary carelessness allow the villains to sneak into Xie Lin's side while he is unconscious, thus endangering Xie Lin!

“Young Master… he’s not… he’ll harm Xie Lin! I know, I really know!” Huo Sanghua struggled desperately.

She was incredibly conflicted!

She couldn't tell Xie Shu what Lu Ming had said to her in front of so many eyes in the palace. She didn't know how Xie Shu would react if she heard that she was connected to a descendant of the previous dynasty. Would she consider her and Lu Ming accomplices and arrest them both?

The things Lu Ming had said to her before had clearly trapped her here, leaving her in a dilemma, unable to speak out!

She was held firmly by Xie Shu and couldn't break free at all.

Even wanting to stop Lu Ming was futile; they could only watch helplessly as Lu Ming... ...reached out his hand to Xie Lin with ill intent...

Hawthorne was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.

She could still faintly hear Xie Shu's words... "If you don't harm others, others will harm you. You can only protect everything you want to protect if you are more powerful than everyone else..." Is it because she is useless and not powerful enough that she can't protect anything?!

"Xie Lin! Xie Lin! -- Wake up!" Huo Sanghua shouted anxiously. "Xie Lin!"

Disregarding his composure, he feared that Lu Ming might harm Xie Lin.

Lu Ming, on the other hand, seemed to have known all along that this would be the outcome. He sat down leisurely to the side and casually placed his hand... on Xie Lin's pulse.

He turned his head meaningfully, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Hawthorne with a sly smile.

He then slowly reached out his hand towards the short arrow that was embedded in Xie Lin's chest!

Hawthorne felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that this was the best opportunity if he wanted to take advantage of the situation to get rid of Xie Lin.

In desperation, he struggled desperately, trying to break free from Xie Shu and save Xie Lin.

Seeing how desperately she was concerned for Xie Lin, Xie Shu's eyes dimmed. However, in order for Lu Ming to continue treating Xie Lin, he had no choice but to drag the nearly uncontrollable Sang Hua outside the hall...

"Sang Hua, I know you're worried about A Lin. But right now, only Lu Ming can save A Lin! I promise you, if he dares to do anything to A Lin, I'll kill him with my own hands, okay?"

Huo Sanghua was stunned for a moment, but she was still worried about Xie Lin. She lifted her skirt and was about to rush in again to keep an eye on Lu Ming.

She let the tears stream down her face, smudged her once-delicate makeup.

Xie Shu felt a sharp pain in her chest and quickly stepped forward to block Huo Sanghua's path once again, dragging her away from the doorway!

Hearing the commotion outside the hall, Lu Ming's face revealed a cryptic smile. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Xie Lin's furrowed brows, which were contorted with pain.

The sound of Hawthorne's weeping came from outside the hall...

He reached out and grasped the short arrow, his eyes gradually sharpening as he stared intently at Xie Lin.

But at that moment, upon hearing Hawthorne's desperate cries, he stopped...

"Today was meant to take your life. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have had a chance to escape." Lu Ming's heart softened, not for Xie Lin, but for Sang Hua. He hadn't known before how much Sang Hua cared about Xie Lin. If Xie Lin died...

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sang Hua must hate him to death... ... "Xie Lin, you're so lucky, you should really thank A Zheng."
