Chapter 54: 30.2

Chapter 30.2 – She Was Just a Little Sour (2)

The depressed Royal Highness The Princess straightened her countenance and told the hidden guard, “Deal with the aftermath well and don’t let others find out.”

Hearing the order, the hidden guard’s stern face showed a subtle expression, “Your Highness worries too much. The irregular incense in the Lu family’s storeroom have been used up, and this is the last bit that was left in the incense burner.”

It was just about time when people would notice something strange after the attack, and the incense was already finished. One had to say that Compiler Lu calculated her timing too well!

Compared with Qi Yang’s complicated mood after learning the truth, Lu Qipei’s life these days was relaxed and comfortable.

She thrived like fish in water in Hanlin Academy, and when she got home she would write her beloved a letter of nostalgia. Occasionally, she would add some incense or small gifts to be sent to the palace. It was just small sentiments of love, which would make people feel restless, but also filled the heart.

Lu Qipei was so busy with her official duty and love affair that she almost forgot what she had done.

When the next rest day came, Lu Qipei and Qi Yang made an appointment to meet in Qi Yang’s courtyard. Before she left, Lu Qipei was blocked by Lu Qicheng at the mouth of her courtyard. Right now, Lu Qicheng could already walk for a bit without his cane. The scabs on his face had also peeled off, revealing pink new skin and slightly swollen scar below.

But at the same time, he had been sleeping for more than nine hours a day.

Lu Qicheng was a little scared. No amount of ambition could overcome the threat of death, and he was afraid that he would someday die while sleeping. But during the limited time he was awake, he couldn’t think of any enemies that would poison him like this.

In the end, he thought of Lu Qipei, although he didn’t really think his gentle sister would have such fierce means. But who asked him to order Ah Yu to poison her, then was also poisoned himself?

There was too much coincidence that it was impossible not to have any doubts, especially since Lu Qicheng was a suspicious person in the first place.

When Lu Qipei saw Lu Qicheng, her mood also became complicated, and she showed a rare unpleasant look. “I still have something to do. Ah Cheng, you step aside first.”

After several meetings, the relationship between the siblings took a sharp turn for the worse. Although Qi Bo suppressed the news about the poisoning, how could anyone who knew about it not guess what was happening? Although Lu Qipei still didn’t understand why Lu Qicheng was so determined to kill her, their relationship obviously couldn’t return to what it was in the past.

Since the pretense had been broken, Lu Qicheng didn’t bother pretending to be gentle and pure anymore. He took a few steps forward to grab Lu Qipei’s shirt. Seeing this, Lu Qipei hurried took a step back, making him grab empty air. “What are you doing!?”

Lu Qicheng staggered for a moment. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at her viciously, “It was you, right? It was you who attacked me, right? You ruined my face and broke my leg, and now you still want my life!”

Lu Qipei felt a little guilty when she heard his questions, but she frowned afterwards, “What nonsense are you talking about!?”

Lu Qicheng wanted to be ruthless, but when he looked at that face that was very similar to his own, his expression suddenly turned soft again, “Sister, sister, you can’t do this to me. We grew up together and depended on each other. You said you would protect me well, you can’t do this to me! Won’t you give me the antidote? It was my fault before, I promise I will never be jealous of you again, and I will never do anything to you again…”

When he begged in a soft voice, he sounded like when he used to beg her for help when he was still very young. Back then, he would beg her to help him copy the books, be lazy and fool the teacher.

And now he was begging her to let bygones be bygones and give him the antidote – he wanted to live.

There was a momentary trance in Lu Qipei’s eyes. But when she looked at the person in front of her that had become so detestable at some point, that trance quickly disappeared. She took a few steps back and coldly said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Lu Qicheng seemed to be irritated by this sentence, and his originally pitiful expression turned ferocious again, as if he was about to pounce and rip the person in front of him to pieces.

But it was just “as if”, because just as his fingers touched Lu Qipei’s clothes, he suddenly lost his strength. Then with a “bang”, he fell flat on the ground just like a stone.

The fall lightly kick off some dust, and Lu Qipei took two steps back while frowning.

Just at this moment, Qi Bo led several guards into the courtyard. With one glance, he saw the two siblings, on standing and one lying on the ground.

Lu Qipei pursed her lips. Her good mood from today had disappeared and her face turned solemn. “Qi Bo, what’s wrong with Ah Cheng?”

A guard had already stepped forward to help Lu Qicheng. When he turned him over to take a look, there was no doubt that he had fallen asleep again. Although the special soothing incense was no longer used, Lu Qicheng’s symptoms kept getting worse. He could no longer control himself and could fall asleep anytime and anywhere.

This was the reason why he only came to find Lu Qipei now – the latter always left early and return late, and he couldn’t stay awake to wait for her.

Lu Qipei’s questioned seemed to be full of concern like usual, but seeing that she didn’t help Lu Qicheng, it was clear that this concern was not as pure as it used to be… It was obvious that the siblings were at odds. After all, Lu Qipei was not stupid.

Qi Bo didn’t say anything about Lu Qipei’s attitude, but his sharp gaze stayed on her for a long time, as if he was contemplating or evaluating something. It was a while until he said, “Young Lord is ill, I hope Young Master can be magnanimous.”

Lu Qipei didn’t ask anymore questions. After watching the guards pick up Lu Qicheng and leave, she also soon departed.

Qi Bo stood there alone, looking at the siblings’ back, and didn’t leave for a long time.
