Chapter 312 After Dying, I Woke Up In Ancient Times With My Pharmacy 11

Inside the grand hall, Bai Yun had taken her spot beside the Matriarch whilst Lu Yunyue, Lu Xuilan and the rest of the children sat below them. Fang Lan, Tan Hong and Lin Liang were just concubines so they stood opposite of the Matriarch\'s servants with humble postures.

The second He Yuan stepped into the hall, all eyes unanimously fell on him. Lu Xuilan subconsciously rubbed the phoenix birthmark on her wrist as she watched him.

The day before, she\'d been caught offguard when he suddenly saved her so she didn\'t have time to study his features in depth. Although he was born in these times, his eyes didn\'t hold the fervent solemnity and cautiousness that she\'d observed in everyone else.

Rather, staring into those dark orbs gave her a strange otherworldly feeling and calm. After acclimatizing herself with everyone else, his short hair also came as a surprise to her.

Normally, people in ancient times placed much importance on their hair -even when it was sometimes inconvenient- but the General didn\'t seem to care about that.

If not for his outfit, she could have easily mistaken him for someone from her own time period.

Seated besides Lu Xuilan, Lu Zhenzhen\'s legs trembled in excitement. Although she\'d heard a lot about General He, this was actually the first time she was meeting him. Those eyebrows, those eyes, those lips, that figure. He was much more handsome that she thought! 

Exactly her type!

Feeling over the moon, she side eyed Lu Xuilan and sat up straighter with a proud shake of her shoulders.

On the other side of Lu Xuilan, Lu Yunyue clenched her fists so hard that she felt her fingernails dig into her palms. Although she\'d shrugged off the fact that General He was interested in Lu Zhenzhen, seeing the man himself, she was angered.

He was much more handsome than she remembered! He looked like a perfect gentleman but had this unfathomable air about him that must have come from spending so much time on the battlefield.

The princes were handsome and all but besides the Fifth prince, none of the rest were experienced in the art of war. The man before her was one that made a woman\'s heart race and her blood boil in desire!

On the left, the male children also observed He Yuan. Lu Peng\'s interest was more out of impatience. He kept glancing at the door as he couldn\'t wait for this to be over so he could sneak off to Shi Meifen\'s courtyard and inquire more about the beau- brother he\'d laid eyes on.

He didn\'t want his mother to suspect a thing and that was why he hadn\'t run off earlier. Lu Peng tapped his feet rapidly. In fact, what was there to be scare of? It wasn\'t as if he was doing anything wrong. He just wanted to get acquainted with his younger brother...

Lu Yi simply eyed He Yuan in curiosity before turning to stare at his own younger brother in amusement.

The younger brother in question, Lu Aiguo, was staring at He Yuan with stars in his eyes and a trembling figure. How could he not? This was the famed General of the Northern army! He was the youngest of all four generals and yet he didn\'t lose to any of the other three when it came to achievements!

Up on the dais, Bai Yun was restless. She looked from her daughter to He Yuan to Lu Qian and then to the Matriarch. When she saw how bright the Matriarch\'s eyes were as the old hag stared at General He, she felt faint.

The greedy bitch!

The Matriarch had no idea what Bai Yun was thinking of her so she had her explosive eyes set on the young General. Besides the Imperial family, which family came next in terms of riches? The He family!

If the young General got married to Lu Zhenzhen, she couldn\'t even imagine the amount of benefits that she would get in the end! He Enlai was known for his abundant travels during his younger years so besides lots of money, the treasury in the He mansion was probably full of unique and expensive things. Ahhh~!

Her eyes moved over to Lu Zhenzhen. It appeared she\'d have to treat that girl and her concubine mother a bit better in the future.

Whilst abundant thoughts ran rampard in the minds of everyone, He Yuan calmly walked to the front of the hall with his hands clasped behind his back.

Collectively, those who were meant to curtsey, curtseyed and those who were meant to bow, bowed. 

He calmly accepted the greetings of the servants, concubines and descendants with an absentminded nod. Honestly, he wanted nothing more than to return to the He mansion so he could plan his next step but he\'d already said rubbish about being interested in Lu Xuilan so he had no choice but to see it through until he was rejected.

His eyes swept over to the side where the young misses were seated and lingered on Lu Xuilan\'s face before trailing over to the old lady seated at the highest seat. "Matriarch Lu."

With a bright smile, the Matriarch inclined her head. "General He. What a pleasure. The rumours truly did no justice to your gallant presence and unique temperament."

He Yuan arched his lips a little in a polite smile.

Besides the Matriarch, Bai Yun grit her teeth. Bootlicker! A second later, she did her best to let out a generous and magnanimous smile as she went straight to the point. "General He, it was brought to our notice that you are interested in..." Her eyes trailed to Lu Zhenzhen and she forcefully grit out, "...Our Third young miss."

He Yuan was in the process of offhandedly nodding his head when his head froze midway. Did he hear right? He turned to the side just in time to see Lu Zhenzhen suddenly rise to her feet with a blushing face and a shy demeanor.

\'...\'

The heck?! It was already bad enough that he had to feign interest in the 15 year old Lu Xuilan in order to smoothly \'infiltrate\' the Lu \'base\' but even then, her soul was about 23! As for Lu Zhenzhen... What part of his appearance screamed pedophile?!

With slightly furrowed brows, he turned to Lu Qian and directly said, "She\'s not the one." Lu Zhenzhen stiffened and the eyebrows of everyone shot up in surprise. He ignored their expressions and continued, "I\'m referring to the miss I had aided the day before."

He cocked his head at Lu Xuilan. "You know yourself so why remain silent?"

The surprise on the faces of everyone turned to confusion and they all snapped their heads to Lu Xuilan. Even Lu Zhenzhen stared at the Special one with reddened eyes and an astonished gasp.

Lu Xuilan ignored their expressions and boldly locked eyes with He Yuan. For some reason, she felt quite happy knowing that the man hadn\'t been interested in Lu Zhenzhen but herself.

She gracefully rose to her feet and her lips twitched as she tried to restrain her smile. "This young miss thanks the General for his help yesterday."

He Yuan inclined his head. "No need. It\'s what any respectable man would have done in my place."

Lu Xuilan didn\'t hold herself back from smiling brightly this time.

Seeing this, Fang Lan narrowed her eyes and the Matriarch exchanged glances with Lu Qian. Lu Xuilan was bethroded to the Fifth prince and although the prince in question had been silent, they couldn\'t push Lu Xuilan to another man no matter how outstanding.

Bai Yun sneered but before anyone could speak up, a deep, lazy voice came from the entrance of the grand hall.

"Just because the Capital has been quiet lately, you all seem to have forgotten what kind of person this prince is."

The eyes of everyone widened in shock and they all turned to the entrance of the hall to see Tian Weisheng being pushed in on his wheelchair. Although his face was masked, the anger in those eyes were clear for all to see.

PLOP!

Starting from the servants, the concubines, the Matriarch, the descendants and even the right Prime minister all fell to the ground and kowtowed in fear. "YOUR HIGHNESS!"

Not a single soul in the Capital was ignorant of the kind of temper the Fifth prince had. It was rumoured that he\'d slashed one of the Emperor\'s imperial concubines to death because she didn\'t look pleasing in his eyes and the Emperor had even praised him for it!

Now he\'d seen Lu Xuilan and General He standing so close and must have misunderstood them. They were dead. Regret flashed in the Matriarch\'s and Lu Qian\'s heart. They had thought the Fifth prince wasn\'t interested in Lu Xuilan!

In front of the hall, Lu Xuilan remained standing with a curious look in her eyes. Her eyes roamed over the figure on the wheelchair. A silver mask and dark purple robes. Why did that man seem familiar?

On the other hand, He Yuan side eyed her. He wasn\'t even surprised at the fact that she was still standing. She was the special one, the unique one, the stubborn one, the one who dared, the only one who could manage to catch Tian Weisheng\'s eye.

Of course she had the capital to remain standing!

Him, on the other hand, was a well built man with no sexual appeal whatsoever to a straight prince. As a general, he was exempt from kowtowing to anyone besides the Emperor so he swiftly cupped his fists in front of himself and inclined his head. "Your Highness."

Tian Weisheng eyed He Yuan\'s figure with a cold glare. He knew it was a good idea to come here straight away but he had no idea he would come here to find Lu Xuilan staring at the general like he was the most important thing in her life!

He moved his eyes to Lu Xuilan and with a tilt of his chin, he eyed her provocatively. This was the man she dared to show interest in? Someone who had to lower his head to himself? She should have known better!

Lu Xuilan was finally pulled out of her thoughts then. Her eyes roamed around the hall and seeing everyone kowtowing, she felt reluctant.

She never had to lower her head to anyone before! A second later, her eyes landed on He Yuan. He had his head lowered in respect but it didn\'t in any shape or form make him since less dominant. Nevermind!

Tian Weisheng was still smiling haughtily when,

PLOP!

Lu Xuilan suddenly joined the other women and kowtowed with both hands in front of her. "Your Highness!"

He Yuan and Tian Weisheng: \'...\'
