Chapter 139



139 Not Powerful At All

Although Yu Niaoniao was usually fearless, there was actually something she was afraid of, which was death.

She was terrified of seeing dead people, especially when they were burned corpses.

When she walked out of the morgue, her limbs were cold and her face was frighteningly pale.

Xiao Juan looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

Yu Niaoniao held onto the tree trunk by the side of the path and closed her eyes to take a few deep breaths.

When her breathing calmed down, she opened her eyes and said nonchalantly.

“I’m fine.”

Xiao Juan looked at her skeptically. “You don’t look too good. Do you want to get a doctor to take a look?”

Yu Niaoniao immediately covered her money bag and said warily.

“I’m not sick. Don’t even think about asking me to pay for a doctor.”

Xiao Juan was speechless.

He was concerned about her. Why did she only remember her money?

“There are doctors in the Justice Department. There’s no need to spend money.”

Yu Niaoniao immediately relaxed. “You should have said so earlier. Since it’s free, there’s no harm in taking a look. Take it as a physical examination.”

Xiao Juan brought her to see Lo Pingsha.

He spoke to Lo Pingsha.

“Miss Yu suddenly looked very bad just now. Can you help examine her?”

Yu Niaoniao was very surprised. “Little Lo knows how to treat illnesses?”

Lo Pingsha was stunned. When did he become Little Lo?

He was clearly two years older than her!

Xiao Juan said calmly, “Little Lo’s family has been imperial physicians for three generations. He has been learning medicine from his elders since he was young. His medical skills are very outstanding.”

Lo Pingsha spoke with difficulty.

“Can you not call me Little Lo?”

It was better to call him Pingsha than Little Lo!

Little Lo sounded like the name of a child. It was not domineering at all.

Yu Niaoniao blinked. “But I think Little Lo is quite good. It suits you very well.”

Xiao Juan nodded slightly in agreement.

Lo Pingsha was speechless. Xiao Juan used to address him by his full name but this was changed the moment the future Princess spoke. He could only reminisce about the past now.

Lo Pingsha said sullenly, “Miss Yu, please sit. I’ll take your pulse.”

Yu Niaoniao sat down at the table and extended her right arm, placing her wrist on the pulse pillow.

While Lo Pingsha took her pulse, she turned her head and scanned the room. This was where Lo Pingsha usually worked.

The space wasn’t big, but it was filled with things. Most of them were books of all kinds. She even saw a bed in the corner. There was messy bedding and pillows.

The doors and windows were closed, and the windows were covered with thick curtains.

The room was very dark and was illuminated by two oil lamps.

Lo PingSha released her fingers. “Miss Yu is fine. She’s very healthy. She might have eaten too much for lunch and has some indigestion. She’ll be fine after moving around more.”

Xiao Juan was relieved that she was fine.

Yu Niaoniao was very curious and could not help but ask, “Little Lo, since you’re from a family of Imperial Physicians, why did you come to the Justice Department? Wouldn’t it be better to become an Imperial Physician?”

In the eyes of outsiders, the Imperial Hospital was a place to save lives, but the Justice Department was a place to kill.

There was a huge difference between the two.

To make an inappropriate analogy-

The Imperial Physicians were like angels in white, and the Eagle Guards were executioners.

What could have caused an angel to give up saving people and choose to become a murderous executioner?

Lo Pingsha lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the emotions in them.

“The Justice Department suits me better than the Imperial Hospital.”

Seeing that he did not want to talk about this matter, Yu Niaoniao tactfully put away her curiosity and changed the topic to something else.

“Your place looks messy. Do you want someone to clean it up for you?”

Lo Pingsha said, “Thank you, but there’s no need. If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
