Chapter 86: Covenantor (IX)
Translator: StaringAtAStar
生日宴会之后，各大娱乐报刊对此次宴会做了大篇幅的报道，尚可的身份也因为陆修樊的关系，被大众所知。越家大少与王爵阁下已经“同居”的消息更是不胫而走。外界对这对情侣颇为看好，普遍认为逐渐势衰的越家有可能借此鸡犬升天。
After the birthday party, all the major newspapers published feature articles on the banquet, publicizing to the world Shang Ke’s identity and his relationship with Lu Xiufan. The news that Yue Family’s eldest son was “living together” with His Excellency (Lu Xiufan) spread even faster. The public was quite supportive of this pair of lovers, it was widely thought that the declining Yue Family’s would be able to make a rapid comeback.
陆修樊并没有关注这些八卦，而是专心调查此次下毒事件。他在宴会上喝的酒都是单独预备的，能够接触到酒瓶的人少之又少，调查范围并不大。而且王宫各处都有监控，即使有内应，也不可能做到滴水不漏，这也是陆修樊很少会在王宫被暗算的原因。
Lu Xiufan ignored the gossip, focusing instead on investigating the poisoning incident. At the banquet, he’d personally poured his own wine so there were few people who came in contact with the wine, making the scope of the investigation fairly manageable. Also, since every inch of the palace was under surveillance, even if there was an insider, there was no way the insider could have done anything without getting caught. This was the reason why Lu Xiufan would rarely suffer an assassination attempt in the palace.
此次幕后策划者敢在王宫下手，说明陆修樊对某些事情的调查已经逐渐接近真相，对他们的威胁越来越大。
The fact that someone would dare mastermind a plot at the palace was an indication that Lu Xiufan was getting closer to the truth in one of his investigations, and becoming a bigger threat to them.
“叩叩”，几声敲门声打断了陆修樊的思绪。
Knock knock. Lu Xiufan’s thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
“进来。”陆修樊的视线依然在手中的文件上，直到闻到一股药香，才抬起头来，看到来人，眼中的寒冰点点消融。
“Come in.” Lu Xiufan’s continued to read the classified document in his hands. It wasn’t until he smelled the scent of medicine that he lifted his head, and upon seeing the person who entered, the frost in his eyes melted.
“吃药时间到了。”尚可将药碗托到陆修樊面前。
“It’s time to take your medicine.” Shang Ke placed a bowl of medicine in front of Lu Xiufan.
陆修樊望着那一碗望着热气腾腾的液体，眉头不易察觉地纠结了一下，最后还是在尚可的注视下，一口将药喝了下去。
Lu Xiufan looked down at the piping hot bowl of liquid, his brows furrowed in disgust. He finally forced down the contents in one gulp under Shang Ke’s attentive gaze.
“小泽，这种药我还要喝几副？”他忍不住问道。
“Little Ze, how many more times will I have to take this medicine?” He asked helplessly.
“今天是最后一副了。”话音刚落，尚可就见陆修樊眉目舒展，一副重获新生的抖擞模样。
“Today is the last time.” Immediately upon saying this, Shang Ke saw Lu Xiufan’s brow smoothen, and his expression showed a renewed sense of high spirit.
