The person standing outside the door had a firm and gaze, as if he could see the most secret secret in people's hearts. This person was Peng Yue.

Xu Yan opened the door and looked at her, and the two of them were speechless for a long time. In the end, Xu Yan broke the silence first and said, "Why are you here at night? Is there no maid following you?"

Peng Yue shook her head and said, "I sneaked out, there is not much time. Cuiyan came with me, she was waiting outside to help me watch the movements of my mother."

After hearing this, Xu Yan hurriedly pulled her in and said as she walked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you were in a hurry? The time we just stood at the door was enough for us to say how many words we said?"

Peng Yue did not respond, but his eyes quietly floated to Xu Yan's wardrobe. Xu Yan looked at her gaze and found that there was already empty and no one there. It turned out that He Xun had already found an opportunity to slip away while they were both outside the door.

Xu Yan was ashamed for a moment. It turned out that Peng Yue was standing there with her just now to give her a step. She just didn't know when Peng Yue discovered this. Xu Yan smiled awkwardly at her. However, Peng Yue seemed to be unaware of it and did not respond to Xu Yan's thoughts.

In fact, Xu Yan has always known that Peng Yue is the calmest person among the three of them. She seems to be obsessed with reading the books of sages and not caring about anything else. But she knows everything. She knows everything about everyone around her, but she acts as if she doesn't know anything, leaving enough steps for others so that they won't be embarrassed.

Xu Yan pulled Peng Yue to the table and sat down, looking at the sky outside. It seemed that these days were sleepless again. She lamented in her heart, then looked at Peng Yue and said, "Will Lord Peng make things difficult for you after you go back?"

Peng Yue lowered his head, as if he didn't want to talk about this matter more: "My father criticized me a few words and punished me to be confined to the room, but nothing happened."

Although Peng Yue said nothing was wrong, Xu Yan knew the most. Peng’s father and mother valued Peng Yue the most, so she never said a few serious words to her. In the past, when Peng Xing was there, they focused all their firepower at Peng Xing, so they naturally looked at Peng Yue wherever they saw Peng Yue. I guess today’s confinement was the most severe punishment that Peng Yue had suffered.

Xu Yan gave her a concerned look and was about to comfort her. When Peng Yue suddenly knelt on her knees and said to Xu Yan: "Your Highness, Peng Yue doesn't have much time, so she has to slander the etiquette and speak bluntly."

Xu Yan was shocked by Peng Yue's attitude. Originally, Peng Yue valued etiquette very much. If the other party didn't mention it first, she would never raise the topic first, for fear that doing so would be inconsistent with etiquette. But now Peng Yue will actually abandon the etiquette she has always valued for this matter.

Xu Yan couldn't help but have a headache. It seemed that her purpose for coming tonight was not to do anything except Lu Huai.

She had just confirmed the person Peng Yue was going to talk about, and Peng Yue verified her guess: "Peng Yue was disrespectful to His Highness during the day today. I know that even if she died, she could not stop her. But Lord Lu was innocent. He was injured to save His Majesty's life."

Then, she lowered her eyes and said, "Fortunately, your highness is kind and sent the imperial physician to treat it. But I heard that the wound in him cannot be cured. I felt uneasy and thought that I would come to the palace to find the truth no matter what."

Peng Yuejing looked at Xu Yan with bright eyes, which made her feel guilty for no reason. Xu Yan stammered and said, "You should be at ease. The imperial doctors are mainly pharmacology and do not study the poison deeply. I will send a message back to the palace and ask them to send people to seek medical treatment in the world, so that Lu Huai will definitely cure the injury."

The light in Peng Yue's eyes dimmed instantly. She whispered: "Your Highness, you are lying."

Xu Yan didn't expect that Peng Yue would see through it, and he was embarrassed to explain again. But he heard Peng Yue say, "Your Highness, Peng Yue came here late at night to listen to Your Highness perfunctory me. I said, I want to ask for the truth. Whether the result is good or bad, I have prepared before coming, and I just hope that Your Highness will not lie to me."

Xu Yan knew that when the matter came to this point, she could not hide it anymore. She took a deep breath and said to Peng Yue: "Don't be excited after hearing what I said next. You must calm down, there will always be a solution to the matter." After receiving Peng Yue's affirmative nod, Xu Yan told her what the imperial doctor told her that day.

"July Blood..." Peng Yue said this name in a daze.

Xu Yan didn't dare to look up at Peng Yue's expression at all. She understood that Peng Yue must have not fully accepted this fact at this moment. After all, she has loved Lu Huai for so many years, and now the news of the poison in the person she loves deeply is impossible for anyone to accept it immediately.

"Your Highness is saying that the most important thing in detoxification is to love the virgin blood of the person who loves him, right?" Peng Yue looked at Xu Yan with a burning gaze.

Xu Yan looked at Peng Yue and realized what she wanted to do. She jumped up and said, "No, no! You can't! You can't sacrifice you to save him!"

Peng Yue's expression at this moment was as if he was shaking the clouds and seeing the sun, and it was surprisingly bright. She smiled and said to Xu Yan: "I don't know what kind of feelings your highness has for that young master Yun. But Lord Lu is my light to me. A person who has been walking in the dark on the road where he cannot see the future suddenly saw a trace of light. Guess what she would do?"

Xu Yan never thought that Lu Huai was such an important existence to Peng Yue. She had never heard Peng Xing talk about how Peng Yue met Lu Huai before. They all thought that Peng Yue was just a simple admiration and obsession with Lu Huai, but now listening to her words, it seems that there are many things they don’t know about here.

But no matter what, these cannot be the reason for Peng Yue to sacrifice for Lu Huai. When she was about to persuade Peng Yue, Yingchun's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, the imperial doctor just heard the news that Lord Lu had a fever and the situation was very dangerous."

Xu Yan almost didn't see how the person in front of her was acting. In the blink of an eye, she found that Peng Yue, who was still in front of her, was nowhere to be seen. She cursed in her heart: Oh no! Then she hurriedly ran out with Peng Yue.

Fortunately, in order to facilitate the imperial doctor to take care of the two injured people, Xu Yan specially arranged the residences of Xu Qing and Lu Huai to her. Otherwise, according to their actions of coming and going tonight, they would sooner or later be discovered.

When Xu Yan arrived, Peng Yue was already sitting beside Lu Huai's bed, listening carefully to the imperial doctor's analysis of Lu Huai's condition: "...So, because of the first day of poisoning, and these trauma may also lead to infection, so his body's reaction may be greater. As long as it is properly controlled, there should be no problem. Hey, are you here to take care of him? Then I'll tell you some issues to pay attention to."

Xu Yan stood at the door, looking at Peng Yue in the room with a serious look on his face, and nodded from time to time to cooperate with the imperial physician's rhythm, indicating that he was trying hard to listen to what he said. Inexplicably, Xu Yan felt a sense of distress in his heart.

It took him a long time to finish all the precautions. When he walked out with the medicine box, he found Xu Yan standing at the door, and hurriedly saluted Xu Yan. Xu Yan put his finger on his lips, made a silence, and retreated with the imperial doctor.

In the room, Peng Yue looked at Lu Huai with a heartache. As the imperial physician ordered, he used a wet veil to heat him. In the hazy state, she heard his murmuring. She couldn't help but approach him gently, trying to distinguish what he said.

“Louyang…”
