While they were talking, Lu Buwei slowly regained his spirit. He did not have the habit of going downstairs to say goodbye to them.

"Master, Prince, Lady Yan, I will take my leave first." Lu Buwei had not fully recovered. He looked exhausted and haggard.

"Lu Buwei, you did a good job today. Go back and write down your notes on the practice of medicine. Note down the process of today's surgery, as well as the conscience you've gained." Little Fish taught Lu Buwei to write medical diaries and write up cases of all kinds, and when he found time to organize them into a book, he would be able to collect and write out the copyright fee. When that time comes, both hands will kill him.

"Your disciple understands. Take care, Master. Your disciple will go back first." Lu Buwei bowed with his hands folded in front, then dragged his tired body out of the gambling den.

Lu Buwei was a good boy who respected his teachers, but he would always do whatever Fishy asked him to do in his heart. Sometimes the little fish that tried to tease him would not be able to bear to do so. If Little Fishy was a treasure in Yao Qingcheng's hands, then Lu Buwei was a treasure in Little Fishy's hands. They were all disciples who wanted to teach him all of their skills.

When Lu Buwei left the gambling den, he realized that it was already evening outside. He wanted to go home early and sleep in his bed, then wake up and do the task that his master Xiaoyu had given him — practicing medicine. He hurried into the crowd.

"Doctor Lu, the princess invites you." Suddenly, someone stopped Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei raised his head and saw Princess Golden Bell's personal bodyguard, Mo Yan, standing in front of him to protect him. He felt a sense of panic and instinctively felt that he could not attend this banquet.

Lu Buwei had already guessed in his heart why Princess Golden Bell was looking for him. When Princess Golden Bell had been sent by the Ninth Prince to be his substitute, the Tenth Prince had almost killed her. It was him and Yao Meng Chen who had risked their lives to snatch him back from the hall of the underworld. For an unmarried woman to conceive before marriage, this matter was known to be detrimental to Princess Golden Bell's reputation. Now that Yao Meng Chen was dead, the only one who knew the truth was him. The reason Princess Golden Bell had set up this grand feast was simply to take his life.

He suddenly recalled the day he had been poisoned. It seemed that he had drunk a glass of wine that Princess Jinling had personally given him, like a pimple being poured on his head. Doctor Lu finally understood who was trying to kill him.

"So it's guard Mo. I apologize for my disrespect. If it was late tonight, the princess was not allowed to receive guests. "May I ask that you, guard Mo, thank the princess for her good intentions?" Lu Buwei began to play Tai Chi, trying his best to refuse the invitation of Princess Jin Ling. His old life still needed him to stay and learn medicine from his master. How could he let someone else throw his knowledge and experience into the hands of others?

Mo Yan harrumphed. His hand that was holding the sword slightly shook, revealing a third of the sword's body. The sword light was ice-cold. The sharp blade was pressed against Lu Buwei's neck. It was so cold that Lu Buwei's entire body trembled.

It seemed that he had no choice but to attend this banquet. Lu Buwei smiled bitterly, "Protector Mo, if you have something to say, go ahead. Why do you need to make a move?"

"The princess has been waiting for a long time." Mo Yan talked to himself. He was expressionless as he stared coldly at Lu Buwei to warn him, "Don't play any tricks. My sword doesn't have eyes."

"I know." Everyone had their own destiny. It seemed like he had reached the end of his life today.

Lu Buwei slowly retracted his hand that was about to retrieve the poisonous needle on his waist. He looked at the sword on his neck and said with a smile, "Protector Mo, you intend to bring me to see the princess like this?"

Although it was night, the capital was not like other places, and the land under the feet of the Emperor was naturally bustling with activity. At night, the lights were lit as bright as day. As Mo Yan was holding Lu Buwei's sword like this, he was caught by a patrol officer and had to be investigated.

Mo Yan was here to invite someone, not to cause trouble for Princess Golden Bell. Taking out the sword was just to scare Doctor Lu. Seeing that Doctor Lu was smart, he shook his hand to make the sword return to its sheath.

"Doctor Lu, please!"

"Protector Mo, this way please!"

Mo Yan brought Lu Buwei through the streets. As they walked further and further away from the busy streets of the capital, the number of residents became fewer and fewer. Finally, they arrived at a remote place.

Lu Buwei's heart turned cold. His guess was correct. Princess Golden Bell wanted to take his life. That was the reason why she chose such a desolate place so that he could abandon her corpse. In the past, he should have learned the ruthlessness of the imperial family and not saved Princess Golden Bell. But now, he had become the so-called 'Mister Dongguo' as his master called him. Now, his life wouldn't be in danger. At that time, he must have been blinded by lard in order to save her.

There was a fluorescent light in front, and Lu Buwei saw a stone pavilion. In the pavilion sat a woman, dressed in plain clothes and with white gauze covering her hair. It was hard to tell who she was. The woman looked up at them and smiled, "Doctor Lü."

When the woman opened her mouth, Lu Buwei was shocked to the point that he was covered in cold sweat. He recognized the voice. It belonged to the girl, Princess Golden Bell, who always wore luxurious golden ornaments.

No wonder he didn't recognise her at the beginning. Who knew that a rich and luxurious person would suddenly turn into a plain-clothed commoner? However, apart from her flashy appearance, the current Princess Golden Bell was a type of pure and fresh beauty. She was much more pleasing to the eyes than the previous her.

Lu Buwei withdrew his surprise and slowly walked into the stone pavilion. He cupped his fist and greeted Princess Golden Bell, "This official greets the sovereign."

"No need to be so polite, Doctor Lu." Princess Golden Bell changed from her usual haughty attitude as she personally went forward to help Lu Buwei up.

Lu Buwei was shocked. His legs went soft as if they had been bitten by a poisonous snake. It took him a long time to stabilize his body so that he wouldn't crawl on the ground in front of others. That would not only lose his face as a man, but would also lose Little Fishy's face.

"Don't mention it, Doctor Lu. Sit down and have a cup of tea. Jinling thanks you for saving my life." Princess Golden Bell poured the tea into her cup with both hands as she smiled amiably.

When a princess served tea to an official in a position of duty, even if there was poison, the official would not refuse — would not dare refuse. Lu Buwei could not refuse this cup of tea with its fragrance.

"Princess, there is no need to be polite. Being able to save Princess is this official's fortune. "Princess, thank you for your gift. Please leave this official's corpse intact." With trembling hands, Lü Buwei slowly took the cup of tea from Princess Golden Bell's hands.

Princess Golden Bell was quite benevolent as she bestowed him with poisoned wine to leave him with an intact corpse. If it were anyone else, Lu Buwei would probably have died a horrible death.

Princess Golden Bell was very satisfied with Lu Buwei's wise move. She sighed and said, "I originally did not wish to harm you. However, there are some matters that cannot be decided by this princess. This princess has no other choice. I hope Imperial Physician Lu will not hate this princess and leave with your heart at ease. "

"Princess, this official has a presumptuous request. Please grant it." Lu Buwei knew that he would not be able to escape death tonight. Since he was going to die, he had to have value in order to relieve the worries of the princess consort.

Jin Ling looked at Lu Buwei and said, "Tell me, if it's within my capabilities, I'll agree to anything you say."
