The dim back

When Zhang Yulu woke up in the morning, she felt dizzy and said, "Maybe I caught a cold yesterday."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Zhongqing stood behind him and asked with great concern: "What happened? Tell me quickly?"

Liu Zhongqing thought to himself: "Is it because I didn't cover myself enough last night? I clearly told you not to kick the quilt casually." There was a hint of anger and helplessness in his tone.

This attracted the attention of the maids nearby, who all looked at him in surprise and began to discuss in low voices. One of the maids asked in confusion, "When did the prince become so sensible?" Another one echoed in surprise, "Yes, when did the prince become so considerate?"

The two looked at each other, seeming to be very surprised by the prince's change. However, Liu Zhongqing didn't care about their discussion, his mind was all on the matter at hand. At this moment, he was lost in thought, thinking about how to solve this problem...

Liu Zhongqing suddenly had an idea: "It seems that from now on, I will hold you tightly in my arms every night when I go to bed."

Zhang Yulu felt extremely embarrassed: "Everyone is watching, how can you be so brazen? It's really embarrassing."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Liu Zhongqing didn't care at all: "A real man has his own ways and his own ways. What's there to be afraid of? You and I are husband and wife anyway."

After hearing these words, Zhang Yulu felt embarrassed and lowered her head: "Didn't the princess come to you for something? Has Lin Xuefeng started to make a fuss again recently?"

Liu Zhongqing nodded and said, "But there is one very strange thing. People say that the Queen Mother has been keeping her door closed lately and is particularly afraid of the wind."

Zhang Yulu smiled wickedly: "If I'm not mistaken, the Queen Mother may have already issued a mortgage. Otherwise, I'll ask a few imperial doctors to take a look."

Liu Zhongqing thought it made sense: "If this is true, then the Queen Mother will be laughed at."

After consulting the imperial physician, none of them knelt on the ground, not daring to speak: "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me. I just want to retire and return home."

The princess said fiercely: "This matter may be related to Lin Xuefeng. We just want to take action against Lin Xuefeng. What does it have to do with the Queen Mother?"

There was one imperial physician who was particularly angry, Lin Xuefeng: "It was just as you said. When Lin Xuefeng found us, he had explained it to us again and again."

Zhang Yulu thought it was particularly ridiculous: "I didn't expect that the Queen Mother is already in her forties this year and she still has her own son. This is really ridiculous."

One of the doctors kept kowtowing and said, "Princess, please be careful with what you say. This matter could be a big deal or a small one. For us, matters of the royal family are life, and everyone's health condition is kept secret."

Zhang Yulu certainly understood and felt that she should go to Lin Xuefeng for this matter.

Zhang Yulu said to everyone, "I'm going to go find Lin Xuefeng now. If there's anything, we can continue the discussion."

When Zhang Yulu found Lin Xuefeng, he was reading a book. Zhang Yulu said bluntly, "Why didn't I see you working so hard before? If you were like this, I'm afraid you would have become a doctoral student long ago."

Lin Xuefeng, he didn't care at all: "Anyway, you can say whatever you want. For the sake of our Lin family's business and to be able to avenge our neighbor, of course I, the young master of the neighbor, must do my best."

Zhang Yulu never thought about how blind she was before: "I've already said it, you are obviously courting death, wanting to get involved with the Queen Mother, I'll give you some courage."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Lin Xuefeng was a little panicked: "What do you mean by saying this?"

Zhang Yulu said bluntly: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Aren't you afraid that others will cause trouble for you if you do this?"

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Lin Xuefeng vaguely felt that something was wrong: "Could it be the Queen Mother's business? But don't worry, how could the Queen Mother betray me? Besides, no one has exposed the Queen Mother."

A voice came from the distance: "I didn't expect someone to care about me. Why don't you tell me the truth? Just stand in front of me and ask."

Zhang Yulu realized that she had been fooled this time: "Lin Xuefeng, you are really despicable."

The Queen Mother walked up to Zhang Yulu and slapped her hard: "How dare you to criticize me behind my back. I think you don't want to live anymore."

Zhang Yulu could only kneel on the ground and kowtow repeatedly: "Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

At this moment, Zhang Yulu looked towards the pavilion next to her, and Princess Zan and Liu Zhongqing both came over.

The Queen Mother said to Liu Zhongqing, "Grandson, this is your own princess. How dare you criticize me like this? You make random accusations without any evidence. It seems that I should teach her a lesson."

Liu Zhongqing had no choice but to step forward and stop him: "Empress Dowager, this was just an unintentional act, maybe just a joke, although it was too much of a joke, so this matter will be borne by your grandson, and I will leave it to the Empress Dowager to deal with."

The Queen Mother finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then go to the cleansing room and get 100 sticks. Remember, beat them hard."

The princess then pulled Zhang Yulu up and said, "It is true that we made a mistake this time, but fortunately, we should use our brains when doing things. Fortunately, we didn't pursue this matter further."

Lin Xuefeng looked at everything that was happening before his eyes, knelt on the ground respectfully, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, if you do this, wouldn't it appear that you are guilty? In my opinion, why don't you pay the salary?"

Zhang Yulu was furious: "You clearly know that the Prince's Mansion needs money to rebuild it, yet you still say such a thing."

Lin Xuefeng didn't care: "What do you mean? Is your family also a royal merchant? Mr. Liu is very rich, and you can tell from the clothes of the eldest princess."

Hearing Lin Xuefeng say this, Zhang Yulu knew that he was targeting her: "Haven't you always wanted to attack Yiren Villa? Yiren Villa has an annual martial arts competition now. I heard that the leader of the martial arts world will be there this time. I guess you want me to act as a matchmaker."

The Queen Mother heard the conversation and had an idea: "It just so happens that I have some things to do and it is not convenient for me to do it myself. I can only look for some people in the martial arts world to do it. If you can help introduce me, it would be great."

Zhang Yulu really had no choice but to follow their arrangements: "Prince, this is my life. Since you have all decided this, I will do as you say. Then quickly pardon your crime."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, that's it, don't let me down."
