The dim back

Zhang Yulu has recently developed a rift with Liu Zhongqing and often doesn't want to talk to Liu Zhongqing.

Cuizhu, the maid that came with Zhang Yulu's dowry, felt uncomfortable when seeing this.

Cuizhu wanted to report this matter to the princess, but was stopped by Zhang Yulu: "I am not the kind of person who likes to tell tales. Let's just leave it as it is. Since they are lovers finally getting married, why should I interfere?"

Unfortunately, their conversation was overheard by Qiu Feng's maid Liu'er, who told Qiu Feng the news.

Qiu Feng was very proud and said, "Everyone says it's mine, so it's mine after all. If it's not mine, I can't snatch it away. Since things have come to this point, let's get along well."

After saying these words, Qiu Feng went back to the kitchen, planning to make some exquisite pastries and give them to Liu Zhongqing.

After Liu Zhongqing left the court and returned to his house, he heard the maids whispering nearby.

"This lady in our house seems to not care about anything. She always asks us to listen to Aunt Qiufeng. But Aunt Qiufeng comes from a brothel and treats us like girls in the brothel."

Another maidservant nearby said, "Otherwise, one's birth is really important. Even though she was a lady from a wealthy family, it seems that she has never touched women."

A kind-hearted maid said, "Our Madam is so kind to him. Why is she looking for medicine for Aunt Qiu Feng? She hopes to help her get pregnant. Wouldn't she lose her status even more if she did that?"

Liu Zhongqing coughed, and the maids were so scared that they flew away like birds, all busy with the things in their hands.

As soon as Liu Zhongqing arrived at the inner hall, he saw Zhang Yulu sitting by the table, constantly mixing the medicinal powder in his hand.

Liu Zhongqing asked curiously: "Why didn't I know you had such a skill?"

Zhang Yulu straightened his neck and said, "I still have a lot of things that you haven't discovered, but for me now, the most important thing is to do the things at hand peacefully and steadily, and don't want to have any more internal struggles."

Liu Zhongqing instructed Zhang Yulu that he must have a plan for the next step: "Just tell me if you have anything to say and see if I can help you.

Zhang Yulu retorted bluntly: "If you have time, you should pay more attention to Qiu Feng. He is making delicious food for you in the yard. Why are you running over to me now? Do you want him to have a big fight with someone?"

Liu Zhongqing also felt confused: "Tomorrow is the day you return home after three days. Let's go to the street to buy some things and come back. We can talk about the future later."

After Liu Zhongqing's reminder, Zhang Yulu understood: "So you are just going through the motions. You only need to send someone to inform me. You can prepare whatever you want. I believe you will be generous. I trust you on this point."

As soon as Liu Zhongqing returned to Qiufeng's courtyard, he saw Qiufeng holding a plate of exquisite pastries and said to Liu Zhongqing with great interest: "Take a bite. The pastries I made will make you very happy."

Liu Zhongqing picked up the cake and took a bite: "Why does it taste so bad? What did you put in it?"

Qiu Feng looked puzzled: "I just put some peanut kernels and some perilla seeds."

The guards beside Qiu Feng said, "Don't you know, Auntie? The Marquis can't eat perilla seeds, or you'll give him a rash all over his body."

Liu Zhongqing threw away the half piece of cake in his hand and hurried back to the front yard. As he walked, he said to the guards, "Hurry up and prepare clothes for me. I need to take a bath."

Liu Zhongqing sat in the bathtub. Although the pain was relieved, he felt extremely itchy all over.

Zhang Yulu happened to enter the room to get something at this time. Without any precaution, she walked behind the screen and saw Liu Zhongqing sitting naked in the bucket.

He immediately turned his back and said to Liu Zhongqing: "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Zhongqing told the truth: "I can't eat perilla seeds. Qiu Feng put perilla seeds in the cakes. After I ate them, I felt extremely itchy all over my body."

After hearing this, Zhang Yulu didn't care about anything else. She walked forward and pulled Liu Zhongqing's arm.

An injection was given at the pulse point.

At that time, Liu Zhengqing felt paralyzed all over: "What is going on? What are you going to do?"

Zhang Yulu said viciously: "Do you believe that I will kill you in a moment? You can't even move now. If I kill you now, no one will know."

Based on his understanding of Zhang Yulu, Liu Zhongqing didn't believe it at all: "What's going on? Tell me about it."

Zhang Yulu began to explain: "When I have nothing to do, I like to look through some medical books. I think this thing in your body is an allergen, so I came to study it."

Liu Zhongqing grinned and said, "I understand now. You are using me as a drug tester now, but I am willing to help you."

At this moment, Qiu Feng came in from outside. Seeing the two people like this, he immediately flew into a rage: "What are you two doing in broad daylight?"

Liu Zhongqing then took the clothes from the rack and said, "No, you are helping me heal. I just ate your cakes, and Zhang Yulu is helping me heal."

Qiu Feng then hid his helplessness in his heart and pretended to be kind on the surface: "It was indeed my misunderstanding. I really didn't know you couldn't eat perilla seeds."

Qiu Feng pointed the finger at Zhang Yulu: "Can you heal me?"

Zhang Yulu gained some confidence: "I didn't know what to do before, but now after the treatment, I know what's going on. If you have any problems in the future, please come to me as much as possible."

Liu Zhongqing praised Zhang Yulu: "I didn't expect you to have this ability. You should study hard. If you have nothing to do, I will open a clinic for you to have fun."

Zhang Yulu had wanted to go out and focus on his own career a long time ago. After all, he could only write novels and had no other skills. Now that he had finally learned some contents from medical books, of course he had to put them to use.

Seeing Zhang Yulu's high spirits, Qiu Feng seemed very petty: "I know you have some skills now, and I am no longer the official lady I used to be, but don't worry, I only know how to draw calligraphy and painting. If you don't have knowledge in this area, I can teach you a thing or two."

Zhang Yulu accepted it enthusiastically: "That's great. After waking up, our life in the palace will not be difficult. Everyone will do their job and there will be no fighting in the harem."

Hearing Zhang Yulu say this, Liu Zhongqing laughed: "It is said that a harmonious family brings prosperity. I hope everyone can do this. This is also what everyone wants to see."

At night, Liu Zhongqing came to Zhang Yulu and saw that Zhang Yulu was busy.

Liu Zhongqing spoke: "What can I do to help you?"
