Zhu Yu helped Lu Qing back to the bedroom all the way, settling him onto the bed. After all the fuss, she was exhausted and covered in sweat.
Lu Qing lay on the bed, feigning weakness, and said to Zhu Yu, "Thank you for your hard work, madam..."
Zhu Yu was somewhat helpless, carefully scrutinizing him, then shook her head, "I don't mind, but it's mainly you. It's easy to fool the people in the mansion, but what if the Medical Officer comes? Can you deceive him as well?"
"How would we know if we don't try?" Lu Qing replied effortlessly.
Zhu Yu saw his complexion was normal, lying there as if perfectly healthy; she could only hope the Medical Officer coming later was somewhat ordinary, easier to fool.
However, considering Da Jin's national strength, those who could work in the Pharmacy Bureau were unlikely to be mediocre...
But since Lu Qing was so calm, Zhu Yu said nothing more and sat at the table outside the screen, waiting.
