Chương 1274: Let’s Sleep Together

Lu Tingchen came by at the same moment Chu Jiu left the tent.

When he saw her looking like she was in a great hurry, he grabbed her wrist. "What's going on?"

Chu Jiu gave this some thought and decided that there was nothing to hide. She explained, "Ji Lingxiu was poisoned with aphrodisiac poison and the Grand Duchess is currently giving her acupuncture. She wants me to get some ice." She paused and later said with a trace of concern, "You shouldn't go in there."

Lu Tingchen's mind had stopped at the words 'aphrodisiac poison'. When he heard her added remark at the end, a smile appeared on his lips. "Are you afraid of me seeing something if I went inside?"

Chu Jiu glared at him. "If you aren't afraid of your eyes growing a stye, you're free to go in."

Lu Tingchen choked. He rubbed his nose. "That's a pretty vicious curse you're giving me, Jiu!"

Chu Jiu ignored his teasing and said, "Since you're here, why don't you fetch the ice?"
