Chapter 584 Do Your Best
"When will the Dali Temple hold the trial?"
"Li Huaizhi didn't say the time."
"Go down and rest first. Get enough energy to face the upcoming trial."
"Yes."
After Yun Ting left, Xiao Yu leaned on the soft pillow, staring at Su Lingyue's new light grass-colored gauze curtain in a daze.
In Baicao Garden, Yan Qing saw Ling Ling lying on the bed with a pale face, and was shocked and angry. How could those people have the heart to kill such a good girl, such a little girl who didn't know martial arts!
"Uncle Lu, how is Sister Ling'er's injury? The prince asked me to come and ask."
Doctor Lu sat beside the bed, holding Ling Ling's hand, looking tired but still refusing to let go.
After a while, Doctor Lu sighed and said, "His life hangs by a thread. I don't know when he will wake up."
Yan Qing asked in confusion, "The princess was also injured in the heart at that time. Uncle Lu, you woke up three days after the wound was stitched up. Is Sister Ling'er's injury more serious than the princess's?"
"Although both of them were nearly injured in the heart, Yue girl saved them in time, while Ling'er was delayed for too long..."
Doctor Lu really couldn't bear to say the following words. His Ling'er must be in great pain. It was all his fault. He shouldn't have let him go to such a dangerous place.
Seeing the worry on Doctor Lu's face, Yan Qing said nothing more. He turned around and asked Lu Zhu, who was serving beside him, "Has Uncle Lu had dinner yet?"
Lu Zhu shook her head and frowned, saying, "Dinner was served, but Uncle Lu said he had no appetite and left."
"Have someone make another one of the dishes that Uncle Lu likes to eat."
After giving Lu Zhu the instructions, Yan Qing advised Doctor Lu, "Uncle Lu, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some nourishing medicinal food and send it over. You should eat at least some so that you can take good care of Sister Ling'er."
Looking at his granddaughter lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face pale, Doctor Lu did not refuse. He could not fall down. He had to cure Ling'er, otherwise he would not be able to face Xiaohua in the future.
However, before Luzhu went out, she saw Su Lingyue coming with Caidie Caiyi, who was holding a food box in her hand.
"I heard that Uncle Lu didn't eat a single bite of the dinner that was served, so I asked the kitchen to make a few dishes that Uncle Lu liked."
Yan Qing's eyes lit up, "Princess, you've come just in time. I was just about to have it prepared and sent over."
Caidie put the food box on the table, displayed the freshly prepared food from the kitchen, and said to Dr. Lu with a smile, "Uncle Lu, this smells delicious. Come and have some!"
Doctor Lu put Ling Ling's hand into the quilt, carefully covered her with the quilt before getting up and sitting down at the table. Looking at the chopsticks handed to him by Su Lingyue, Doctor Lu sighed, took them, and picked up the dishes in silence.
Seeing Doctor Lu start to eat, Su Lingyue also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, you should eat more. The prince is here, so you don't have to worry about me."
Doctor Lu didn't want to talk much with Su Lingyue at this time.
If Su Lingyue had not asked Xiao Ling'er to go to Qingshi Temple to protect Jiang Yan, Xiao Ling'er would not have been injured like this. He couldn't get over this in his heart and just nodded.
Feeling Doctor Lu's cold attitude, Su Lingyue's heart suddenly felt like it was being cut by a knife, and her eyes began to feel hot.
But Ling'er does have her reasons for being like this now. Lu Bo has been very tolerant. What reason does she have to cry?
Knowing that Uncle Lu didn't want to see her, Su Lingyue blinked back her tears and said with a smile, "Uncle Lu, I'll go deliver the medicine to the prince first. If there's anything I can do, just let Lu Zhu come find me."
"Yeah." Doctor Lu then raised his eyelids to look at her and nodded.
Su Lingyue nodded at him and left Ling Ling's room with colorful clothes and butterflies.
Yan Qing and Lu Zhu, who were standing by, also felt that Doctor Lu's attitude towards the princess had changed. They looked at each other, both with worried expressions, and sighed.
Doctor Lu put down his chopsticks and said to the two, "Have you two eaten? If not, sit down and eat together. I can't finish all these dishes by myself."
The two of them had been busy running around and had not had time to eat. Now was the busy time, so they did not refuse. Lu Zhu went to get two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and sat on either side of Doctor Lu, one on the left and one on the right.
Yan Qing picked up the chopsticks and diligently picked up several pieces of food for Doctor Lu, "Uncle Lu, please eat more."
Doctor Lu put down his chopsticks and looked at Yan Qing, who seemed to be hesitant to speak. He sighed heavily and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Yan Qing smiled, her eyebrows curved, "Nothing escaped Uncle Lu's eyes. No one expected Sister Ling'er to be injured like this. The princess only thought they had drugged her at most, but she didn't expect them to kill her."
The granddaughter is Uncle Lu's granddaughter, and he can't say to Uncle Lu to forgive the princess. However, not long ago, Uncle Lu was sitting in the main seat at the wedding of the prince and the princess. Now seeing them so distant is really uncomfortable.
"I know that too, but seeing my little Ling'er like this, I really can't remain calm!" After saying this, Doctor Lu's eyes were already red.
He had just met his granddaughter, and they hadn't been reunited for long. The thought of the possibility of her seeing her die young filled his heart with pain.
Yan Qing and Lu Zhu knew that as long as Ling Ling was not out of danger, Uncle Lu would feel resentful towards the princess, so they stopped trying to persuade him.
Lu Zhu put her hand on Doctor Lu's arm and comforted him, "A warm-hearted girl like Ling'er will surely find good fortune."
Doctor Lu nodded slightly, "I hope so too."

In Hibiscus Pavilion, Su Lingyue fed Xiao Yu medicine spoonful by spoonful. After finishing the whole bowl of medicine, Xiao Yu frowned and said, "It's so bitter."
Su Lingyue said puzzledly, "The medicine these days is the same, except that there are two more pieces of ginseng than before. The taste shouldn't be much different."
As he said this, he licked the medicine on the spoon and tasted it.
Seeing her carefully tasting the medicine, Xiao Yu couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm talking about Yue'er's little face. It's full of worries, and it looks more bitter than my medicine."
Su Lingyue finally realized that Xiao Yu was teasing her. After handing the empty medicine bowl to Caiyi, she brought some tea for Xiao Yu to rinse his mouth. Only then did she lower her head, her eyes starting to sore again.
Xiao Yu looked at Su Lingyue, who lowered her head with a look of loss, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"If Ling'er can't be saved, I will be the one who indirectly killed her." Will Lu Bo leave Xiao Yu because of this? If so, if she leaves the palace or pays with her life, will Lu Bo stay?
"Yue'er."
"Ah."
Xiao Yu's voice became serious. Hearing his voice, Su Lingyue raised her eyes and met his.
"You were right to invite Miss Ling to Qingshi Temple to accompany Miss Jiang. Miss Ling was also right to rescue Miss Jiang out of righteousness. The one who was wrong was the robber who killed her. Miss Ling is still alive, so it can be remedied. I have Yan Qing here, you go and guard Miss Ling."
Facing Su Lingyue's somewhat uneasy gaze, Xiao Yu looked at her gently and said softly, "Go, do everything you can, just like you do to your husband. Don't give up easily until the last moment."
In just a moment, all the negative emotions in Su Lingyue's heart dissipated instantly, her mind and heart began to clear up, and she also found her direction.
"Yes." Su Lingyue nodded seriously, stood up, quickly held Xiao Yu's face, kissed his lips, then left Furong Pavilion and went straight to Baicao Garden.
Even if Uncle Lu had any grievances against her at this moment, she would not leave until she took care of Ling'er and recovered.

Inside Duke Dingguo's mansion, Zheng Zixu sat across from Su Heng and raised his glass in a toast. "Thanks to Prime Minister Su's brilliant plan, after tonight, my son will be the son-in-law of Minister Jiang Fu. This gives us another layer of security!"
Su Heng leaned back in his chair and raised his glass proudly, "Your son is truly outstanding. Only someone like your son is worthy of being the son-in-law of the richest man in Daning!"
Jiang Siqi killed his third son, so the Jiang family will have no good life.
"Your humble servant respects Prime Minister Su! Please!"
"please!"
The two of them raised their glasses and drank together, laughing heartily.
After finishing his drink, Zheng Zixu put down his glass, glanced at Su Heng, and asked tentatively: "Prime Minister Su, I have followed you in the past, and you have seen my loyalty. Only you, me, and Xiao Yu knew about what happened in the past. As long as he is not eliminated, I will not be able to rest in peace..."
Su Heng poured himself another glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then sneered, "How long has it been since you last saw Xiao Yu?"
Zheng Zixu thought for a moment, "I haven't seen him this year. What's wrong?"
Su Heng smiled smugly, "My eldest daughter is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, looking everywhere for medicine to cure Xiao Yu. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be a widow this year!"
After hearing what Su Heng said, Zheng Zixu widened his eyes, stood up suddenly, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned.
"That's great!"
Once Xiao Yu died, he could rest easy and enjoy a high position, generous salary, a virtuous wife and beautiful concubines.
"Boom boom boom!"
A rapid knock on the door interrupted the conversation in the room.
"what happened?"
"Master, someone from the Zheng Mansion came and said that Lord Zheng Shangshu should go to the Dali Temple to claim the body of the third son of Zheng."
"What?" They both said at the same time.
The servant outside the door repeated, "Someone from the Zheng Mansion said that Lord Zheng Shangshu should go to the Dali Temple to claim the body of the third son of the Zheng family."
Hearing the servant's words, Zheng Zixu's eyes went blank for a moment and he fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.
