Chapter 3:
After returning to the mansion, Lu Huai'an was unable to treat my wound.
As soon as he laid me on the soft couch and opened my clothes, he found that my wound had already healed.
My shoulder was fair and smooth, with no trace of injury.
Lu Huai'an stared at it for a while, then suddenly took a deep breath.
"I will never let you get hurt again, Zhao Qingluo." His expression was unusually serious.
"His Majesty has been seeking the way to immortality for many years without being able to find it, do you know what would happen to you if such demonic things were known by others?" It's precisely because I know that I was able to endure Qin Zheng's threats for so long.
Otherwise, I would have slapped him to death long ago.
That night, Lu Huai'an slept next to me.
As a robot, I only needed to recharge and didn't need to sleep, but I didn't want to dismiss his intentions, so I closed my eyes and sorted and organized the information I had recorded for so long.
That legendary general, who saved tens of thousands of people in the twilight of the imperial dynasty, must be an extraordinary talent.
None of these decadent young men from the noble families in the capital can compare to him.
I originally thought that Lu Huai'an was hiding his true abilities and had ulterior motives, but judging from his performance during the assassination attempt today, it seems unlikely.
So from that day on, wherever Lu Huai'an went, I no longer continued to follow him.
This, however, caused his dissatisfaction.
"Zhao Qingluo, I'm going out." "Okay." "I heard that there's a new girl at the Yixianglou who plays the pipa very well.
I want to go listen to her play and drink flower wine." "Go ahead." I nodded and continued to close my eyes and bask in the sun for recharging, but Lu Huai'an came back, grabbed my wrist forcefully.
I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me angrily, gritting his teeth and saying, "It's not good to go empty-handed.
I want to buy her a hairpin.
Accompany me to pick one out." Lu Huai'an forcibly pulled me up.
I didn't object to going out and basking in the sun, so I accompanied Lu Huai'an for half a street and entered a jewelry shop.
The shopkeeper greeted us with a smile, "Young Master Lu has come! I heard that the young master has married a wife.
What kind of jewelry are you planning to pick for the young mistress?" "Oh, it wasn't picked out for me.
"I stood by the door, positioning my arm so that it could bask in the slanting sunlight.
'He wants to go to the flower pavilion to see a new girl, but he doesn't want to go empty-handed.
He asked me to accompany him to pick out a gift,' I said.
The shopkeeper's smile vanished instantly.
Lu Huai'an's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly laughed, 'Yes, yes, this young master is indeed going to give jewelry to the girl in the flower pavilion.
Bring out the best items in the store and let this virtuous and generous prince's consort personally choose,' he commanded.
Although I didn't know why Lu Huai'an was angry, But the results of the program run told me that he was indeed angry.
I was about to ask him a question when the mild tingling sensation in my arm suddenly disappeared.
I looked up and saw two familiar figures standing at the door, blocking the sunlight completely.
Qin Zheng looked at me and the furious Lu Huai'an, then suddenly smiled, "Is Prince Lu so angry, could it be that he is not happy with the use of the World Consort that he bought over from me for five thousand gold tickets?" By his side, Yu Shuhuai, dressed in white like snow, frowned with disgust and said, 'Such a dirty thing, daring to approach me.' I knew she was referring to me.
That time, Qin Zheng brought a bunch of his friends to take turns torturing me, and it was so hard to finish that before I had a chance to straighten out my clothes, Yu Shuhui came in.
Her gaze didn't fall on me, but her words were obviously about me: 'A woman should always uphold proper decorum.
It's unsightly to mimic others and behave frivolously!' Qin Zheng smiled and said, 'It's just a plaything.
Miss Yu is a rare beauty in the capital, so there's no need to concern oneself with her.' Yu Shuhuai nodded, her expression softened, and she left with them.
I picked myself up and put my broken arm back in place.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered.
Lu Huai'an's admired person is Yu Shuhuai.
Even from the beginning, when he betrothed himself to me with Qin Zheng, it was because I looked somewhat like Yu Shuhuai.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked at Lu Huai'an.
But I saw that his jaw was tightly clenched, and he pursed his lips, his expression extremely cold.
In that fleeting moment when our eyes met, he suddenly strode over, grabbed my wrist, and pulled me behind him."
