I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 263

263 “Who’s Been Through Life And Death With You?”

In the end, only Pei Qian and Zhou Hengchang hit it off. With Wei Qing egging them on, the three of them actually planned to meet for a drink afterwards.

Although Lu Ze didn’t stop them, he didn’t intend to join them. He stood up and bid farewell. Then, he brought Lin Suisui out of the private room and went downstairs to get into the carriage to go home.

Just as Pei Qian had said, because he had to investigate military affairs recently, Lu Ze began to stay outside all day long.

However, because Lin Suisui had something to deal with, she didn’t feel bored. In the blink of an eye, there were only two days left until New Year’s Eve.

!!
Mrs. Song had already arranged for someone to clean up the house. Even Pei Qian’s house was cleaned after Pei Qian’s shameless request.

The remaining things that needed to be prepared were the couplets and talismans that were to be plastered on the house that day.

Lin Suisui thought about it and finally decided to leave this problem for Lu Ze to deal with.

However, Lu Ze had been too busy recently, so Lin Suisui had been unable to reach him for a few days. In the end, she had no choice but to bring a full set of cut red paper to the Imperial City’s government office via carriage the day before New Year’s Eve, in order to look for Lu Ze personally!

Because of Lu Ze, the people in the Imperial City’s government office had long been replaced.

Therefore, Lin Suisui went in unimpeded. However, the surrounding people were more or less curious about this woman who was protected by Lu Ze.

After all, this was someone who had been personally protected by the former commander of the secret guards, Mr. Su Le!

“Why are you here at this time?” Lin Suisui had just entered Lu Ze’s study when Lu Ze walked in.

He had probably just showered, since there was still some water vapor on his temples. There was no charcoal basin in the room, so the temperature was a little low.

As Lu Ze asked Lin Suisui, he didn’t forget to instruct Su Qi to prepare a charcoal basin.

“I’m fine. It’s just that tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, but we haven’t put up the couplets yet!” As Lin Suisui spoke, she instructed Bai Guo to carry the basket containing red paper in and place it on the table at the side. At the same time, she didn’t forget to take out a small soup bowl from the food box behind her. “Mrs. Song boiled bone soup today. It tastes delicious, I brought you a bowl too. You can drink it now.”

“Carrot?” Lu Ze took the soup bowl from Lin Suisui and frowned after taking a look.

Lin Suisui naturally understood why he looked disgusted. She had no intention of compromising at all and insisted on handing him the spoon. “Eating radishes in winter and ginger in summer is good for your health. Drink it quickly!”

As she urged Lu Ze to drink the soup, she reached out and touched the back of Lu Ze’s hand. As she had guessed, it was cold. She sighed softly and advised, “You don’t have to be afraid of me. I’m a doctor. I can still smell blood even after a simple shower.”

“I might have accidentally got blood smeared on me just now.” Lu Ze paused and looked up at Lin Suisui as he explained. However, after realizing what Lin Suisui meant, he couldn’t help but look a little embarrassed. “It’s because I don’t like that smell.”

“Then I’ll go back and make you some herbal soap. You can use it to wash yourself later. It’ll be much better.” Lin Suisui didn’t question Lu Ze’s explanation. Instead, she nodded and gave him a solution.

Su Qi arranged for someone to quickly send two large charcoal basins to the room.

After the room was warm, Lu Ze followed Lin Suisui’s suggestion and began to write the word couplets on the desk in the room.

Lin Suisui also took off her wool coat. Then, she rolled up her sleeves and walked to the table to help him grind ink. The two of them were discussing how to write the couplet when the door was slammed open.

“It’s quite warm here. I just came back from outside, but Su Qi refused to give me a charcoal basin. When did you become so petty?!”

Pei Qian rubbed his hands and complained exaggeratedly, as if he didn’t see Lu Ze and Lin Suisui, who were standing beside him.

It wasn’t until he warmed his hands with the charcoal basin that he looked up and pretended to be surprised as he said, “When did you come, Madam Liu? I came in in a hurry and really didn’t see you.”

Lin Suisui rolled her eyes and ignored him. She lowered her head and continued to grind ink without responding. Lu Ze seemed to be used to Pei Qian finding trouble for no reason, so he didn’t want to bother with him anymore and continued to think about the couplet according to Lin Suisui’s request.

After being snubbed by the two of them, Pei Qian wasn’t angry. After he closed the door, he slowly walked over to take a look at the red paper on the table and couldn’t help but say, “Tsk, you’re writing couplets here?! You’re so casual!”

“What’s wrong with this place?” Lu Ze retorted without looking up. “Why can’t I write couplets in a place for investigating the truth?

The noblest place in the north now was the General’s residence!

However, are you willing to write the couplet there?!”

“Pfft, pfft, pfft! Don’t mention that. Think about it. Gao Xuwei wrote Qifeng Hall’s plaque himself. Now, Qifeng Hall

is a hot mess and if its crimes are pursued, the Gao family won’t escape punishment either!”

Pei Qian walked to the table and poured himself a bowl of tea. When he glanced at Lu Ze, who had just finished drinking the soup, he was immediately unhappy. He turned to look at Lin Suisui and complained unhappily, “Madam Liu, you can’t be so biased!

Since you brought soup for Gu Erlang, why didn’t you bring me a bowl?!

To be honest, we’ve been through life and death together!”

“Who has been through life and death with you?” Before Lin Suisui could speak, Lu Ze had already raised his head and glared at Pei Qian with a serious expression as he warned, “How dare you talk about King Gu Han now?!

If it weren’t for the fact that the information you found back then was inaccurate, would that incident have happened?!”

“Alright, alright, alright, I won’t mention it! But speaking of which, guess what new information I just dug up?” Seeing that Lu Ze was serious, Pei Qian immediately changed the topic. “My news is worth your soup, right?!”
