Pei Yunmeng smiled faintly as he spoke, "The Imperial Guards have been training too fiercely lately, and with the added irritability of spring, the guards are all exhausted. I'm here to request that a medical officer accompany me to see to them."
Having said that, he seemed to notice Lu Tong standing off to the side for the first time, his eyebrows raising slightly: "A new medical officer? I think she is quite suitable. Let's go with her."
His words were so sudden that everyone in the room was taken aback.
Lu Tong was also taken aback.
She looked up at Pei Yunmeng, whose face wore the usual smile as if he had casually chosen a medical officer that caught his eye, with apparently no other intentions, as innocent as can be.
Meanwhile, Cui Min's face began to look ugly.
Pei Yunmeng's words were directing Lu Tong to the Imperial Guards, but they also rescued Lu Tong from the embarrassing situation just moments before.
