Chapter 56 You scoundrel, put me down!
"Only by finding the truth can we all find peace. We must investigate this matter as soon as possible."
"Twilight City said in a deep voice."
The two guards seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I just heard Miss Qiu and her three senior brothers say that Zhao Wanqing was the one who poisoned them. I wonder if it's true."
Qi Yuxuan took a deep breath, barely managed to stand up, and said with a determined look in his eyes, "Investigate, investigate, find out what happened. No matter the cost, I will find the antidote."
The two guards nodded.
At the same time, Lu Yuanchangming flew to his Luming Tower with Qiu Ziyue, and there was another follower, Xueying, who also came here.
Although Qiu Ziyue had a shoulder injury, she was not unconscious. This was the first time she had been carried by a man and was flying. Although she was a little dizzy, she was still able to enjoy the scenery around her.
Yangzhou, an ancient and beautiful city, is world-renowned for its exquisite gardens and bustling streets.
Lu Yuanchangming's Luming Tower is not something that ordinary rich young masters can compare to. It is not only a sanctuary for healing, but also a place with breathtaking natural scenery.
Upon entering the gate of Luming Tower, the first thing that catches the eye is a winding path.
The path is lined with all kinds of flowers, and various garden plants bloom in turn in different seasons. At this moment, it is springtime, and the peach blossoms are like clouds and rosy clouds. These flowers make the whole garden full of life and vitality.
Walking along the path, you soon arrive at the main building of Lu Ming Tower.
The main building is an exquisite classical building with upturned eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, showing the elegant beauty of Jiangnan gardens.
There is a spacious courtyard in front of the main building, with a rockery and a small bridge over a stream.
As you exit the main building and walk towards the backyard, a vast sea of flowers unfolds before your eyes.
There are many kinds of flowers here, including precious flowers such as peonies, herbaceous peonies, roses, and roses, as well as various wildflowers.
There are also stone-paved paths in the sea of flowers, and on one side of the sea of flowers, there is a clear artificial lake.
The lakeside is lined with weeping willows. A gentle breeze blows, and the willow branches sway softly, like a young girl's delicate hair.
Several swans were leisurely swimming in the lake, adding to the tranquility and harmony.
Exquisite pavilions and towers are scattered throughout Lu Ming Tower.
These pavilions and towers are all unique in design, some built by the water, others hidden among flowers, each one showing ingenuity.
In addition to these, Luminglou Garden also has a dedicated medical clinic. The clinic has a quiet environment and complete facilities, making it an ideal place for treating injuries and illnesses and for recuperating.
Qiu Ziyue thought to herself, this is truly a place full of humanistic care. Compared to the Valley of Passion, this place seems to be another paradise on earth.
Lu Yuanchangming brought Qiu Ziyue to the clinic. Qiu Ziyue had already broken through her acupoints with her internal energy. She shouted, "Put me down, you lecher!"
Lu Yuanchangming gently placed Qiu Ziyue on a soft bed.
Qiu Ziyue raised her hand and slapped Lu Yuanchangming across the face.
Lu Yuanchangming stroked his cheek and said, "Miss Qiu, don't be angry. I pressed your acupoints just now to stop the bleeding. I brought you here in the hope that you will recover soon. To be honest, this clinic is not a place where just anyone can come. You are the first female customer that I have brought on my own initiative."
Qiu Ziyue said sternly, "I'm not someone any man can just hug. You're the first. I don't like people who take liberties with me."
Lu Yuanchangming said leisurely, "Haha, it seems that Miss Qiu is very traditional, just like me. To be honest, I am very traditional compared to Qi Yuxuan, that block of ice. It's just that he is a bit pedantic, while I am very witty."
Qiu Ziyue blushed, turned her head away, and ignored Lu Yuanchangming.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence.
Qiu Ziyue looked up and saw three familiar figures hurrying into the garden. It turned out that Qiu Ziyue's three senior brothers had arrived.
Xueying had arrived early. The little spirit pet was intelligent and, seeing that Lu Yuanchangming had no intention of harming Qiu Ziyue, it did not attack Lu Yuanchangming.
All three of them wore expressions of anxiety and anger.
"Junior sister!" Qiu Langyu was the first to step forward and asked with concern, "How are you? We were all very worried."
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, I'm feeling better now."
Qiu Langyu nervously turned his gaze to Lu Yuanchangming.
He frowned and said in a low voice, "Junior sister, who is this person? I heard he's been active in Yangzhou recently, and seems to have some influence."
Qiu Wentian chimed in, "Yeah, his name doesn't sound like a good person."
Lu Yuanchangming chuckled when he heard their discussion, but ignored it.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ziyue felt a pang of anxiety. Knowing that her three senior brothers cared about her, she said to them, "Senior brothers, the message with the arrow that was delivered to me last time was done by this young master."
Upon hearing this, the three senior brothers felt a little relieved and said, "Thank you for reminding us earlier, young master, but our junior sister is the darling of our Passion Valley, and the three of us are determined to protect her with our lives."
Lu Yuanchangming laughed and said, "It's obvious."
Qiu Ziyue said to Lu Yuanchangming, "Since we are all interested in your identity, why don't you introduce yourself?"
With a smile, Lu Yuanchangming said to his three senior brothers in a gentle and refined manner, "Welcome to Lu Ming Tower, distinguished guests. Your junior sister is doing well here, so please rest assured."
Qiu Wentian looked at Lu Yuanchangming and felt slightly relieved, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Brother, can you tell us who you are and why you saved my junior sister?"
Lu Yuanchangming smiled slightly and calmly replied, "This building of mine is called Luming Building, and my name is Lu Yuanchangming. Although my background is indeed somewhat complicated and it is inconvenient to disclose it, I am not a bad person and have no malicious intent. So please rest assured."
Seeing this, Qiu Langyu interjected, "Since Brother Lu Yuan says so, let's believe him for now."
Lu Yuanchang said, "Why don't we sit down and have a cup of tea first, and then we can talk slowly?"
Qiu Ziyue and the others exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.
Lu Yuanchangming instructed Lin Ruoxi to personally brew a pot of fine Longjing tea for Qiu Ziyue and her three senior brothers.
Guided by Lu Yuanchangming, they sat down in a pavilion, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.
Qiu Ziyue watched all this silently from the side, secretly relieved.
She knew that as long as everyone could communicate calmly, many misunderstandings and conflicts could be resolved.
After drinking the tea, Lu Yuanchangming took out the precious medicinal herbs he carried with him and carefully instructed Lin Ruoxi to decoct and administer them to Qiu Ziyue on time.
Qiu Ziyue felt Lu Yuanchangming's warmth and care, and the grievances and pain in her heart seemed to be relieved a lot.
She smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yuanchangming looked at her tenderly, his eyes full of determination: "No matter what happens, I will protect you, believe me."
In this tranquil building, Qiu Ziyue felt a sense of peace she had never felt before.
The next day, Qiu Ziyue woke up after a good night's sleep. She sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows, but she was lost in thought.
Lu Yuanchangming stood quietly to the side, watching her with gentle eyes.
After a moment, Lu Yuan asked Qiu Ziyue, "What is troubling you, Miss Qiu?"
Qiu Ziyue said, "I originally wanted to go with my three senior brothers to find herbs to alleviate Miss Qi's poisoning, but I didn't expect those annoying people to come over, and now she's in this state."
"Then what do you plan to do next?" Lu Yuanchangming asked.
Qiu Ziyue said, "I'm not quite sure. I want to get away from all this trouble as soon as possible."
"What exactly do you want? Maybe I can help you," Lu Yuanchangming said earnestly.
"Well, to put it simply, I need to find a way to cure Qi Yushuang's poison, clarify the truth, win the sword and zither duel, marry Qi Yuxuan, and then leave this place," Qiu Ziyue said.
Hearing this, Lu Yuanchangming was confused, puzzled, and disappointed. He asked, "Miss Qiu, do you really want to marry Qi Yuxuan? I can tell you don't really like him. Why is that?"
"I have my own reasons, which I cannot disclose," Qiu Ziyue replied.
"Junior sister, have you gone mad?" Qiu Langyu shook his head upon hearing this. "Have you forgotten that because of Qi Yushuang, they framed you, and Qi Yuxuan even stabbed you? You still want to marry him?"
Qiu Wentian chimed in, "Yes, junior sister, we all know you are kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean you can help someone who has hurt you without any precautions."
Looking at the anxious faces of her three senior brothers, Qiu Ziyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
She knew they genuinely meant well for her, but she also had her own principles.
The three senior brothers looked at each other, their doubts not completely dispelled.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanchangming stepped forward and said calmly, "Senior brothers, perhaps your junior sister has something difficult to say. Let her calm down first, and we'll talk about it later."
After settling his three senior brothers and Qiu Ziyue in, Lu Yuanchangming returned to his study.
