After a long while, she stared at Lin Danqing and murmured in a low voice, "It's like the long-term effect of taking Cold Food Powder."
The room fell into silence for a moment.
Lin Danqing swallowed the marrow cakes in her mouth in a few quick bites, turned her head to look outside the window, and raised her hand to close the window.
"Younger Sister Lu," she said as she picked up the teapot from the table to pour Lu Tong a cup of Ginger Honey Drink and softly warned her, "You can talk about this in front of me, but don't mention it outside."
Lu Tong fixed her gaze on her.
Lin Danqing waved her hand and said, "The late emperor had decreed that any court official who discovered someone taking Cold Food Powder should be severely punished without exception. I know some noble offspring secretly take it behind closed doors, but he is the Young Master of the Grand Preceptor, right? If he knows you're talking, he will certainly give you trouble."
