Upon reaching this point, Lu Tong suddenly stopped speaking, seemingly lost in thought, her expression turning somewhat vacant.
Lin Danqing did not notice her peculiarity, appearing to be influenced by her words as well, he bowed his head in silent contemplation, and did not speak for a while.
After a moment, Lu Tong stood up, "I've delivered the steamed buns, I have nothing else, I'll head out first."
Lin Danqing snapped back to reality, lifting his head to look at her, "Aren't you going to make medicine?"
Today was not the day to treat Jin Xianrong, and if there were no other matters, Lu Tong would usually stay in the pharmacy, flipping through medical books and concocting new medicines—the poultice for Jin Xianrong had already been changed several times.
"Not anymore."
Pausing for a moment, Lu Tong spoke again, "I'm going to the Palace Marshal's Mansion, today is the day for me to treat the guards."
...
The Capital Marshal's Mansion was particularly lively today.
