The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"It can't be washed off with water alone, come back."

Lu Zhaoling called Qingyin.

Qingyin had no choice but to go back.

"Hands out."

Qingyin stretched out his right hand in front of her and looked at her in confusion.

Then Lu Zhaoling's hand gently covered her hand.

Qingyin suddenly felt her hands were a little cold.

Lu Zhaoling moved his hand away and flicked it gently.

Qingyin looked at her hands, her pupils shrank, because during this period of time, she clearly saw a layer of gray-black dust gradually appearing on her palms and fingers.

It's like having soot on your hands.

But she had clearly washed her hands clean before!

And she watched with her own eyes this layer of gray and black color seep out of her skin!

"Soak mugwort and pomegranate leaves in water and wash three times." Lu Zhaoling said.

Qingyin immediately turned around and ran out.

Because he was in too much of a hurry, he almost bumped into Qing Ling on his way out.

"Qingyin, why are you so reckless?" Qing Ling was shocked. They were taught by Aunt Qing not to be so reckless. What was wrong with Qingyin?

She saw Qingyin's raised hand again, "Why are your hands so dirty?"

Qingyin's voice was a little trembling, "I, I'll go wash my hands first!"

She raised her hands, now she couldn't do anything by herself unless she washed them!

Qing Ling saw her running out in a hurry and walked in confused.

"Ms. Lu, Qingyin—"

"My hands are just dirty." Lu Zhaoling leaned weakly on the bed, "What's the matter?"

"I have prepared hot water. Miss Lu, do you want to take a bath?"

Lu Zhaoling sat up immediately.

"of course yes."

Qing Ling helped her to take a bath.

Qingyin went to the kitchen to ask for mugwort and pomegranate leaves but was turned away.

The kitchen maid rolled her eyes at her several times.

"Who has the time to find this for you now? We are busy!"

She turned around and sneered at the people next to her, "I don't know where these two slaves came from. They are servants, but they come to us to show off. The one just came to boil a big pot of hot water, and this one comes to ask for pomegranate leaves."

"That's right. We are already too busy serving the real master in the mansion, and we have to do things for them, ugh."

Qingyin's expression turned cold.

When Qingfeng sent them here, he pointed the way for them to go directly to Tingnuan Tower. The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion only knew that Qingfeng was the guard of Prince Jin, but he had no idea about these two maids. Was they sent by Prince Jin to temporarily monitor Lu Zhaoling or to take care of her temporarily?

So he didn't mention it to the servants, and just said that he heard that two maids from outside would come to Nuanlou temporarily.

Those in the kitchen really didn't know that they were sent by King Jin.

"You can also tell me where to pick pomegranate leaves and I'll pick them myself," Qingyin said.

It was popular for families in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to plant pomegranates, because pomegranates symbolize fertility and good fortune. Especially those with better financial conditions and high-ranking officials planted them a lot.

People usually keep some mugwort in their houses. Servants would burn it in the summer to drive away mosquitoes, and ladies and girls in the house might use it to boil water and wipe their bodies if they caught a cold.

So, these two things are not difficult to find.

"The yard is so small, just go find it yourself. Do you want us to put down what we are doing and pick it for you?" said the maid.

The Madam and the eldest daughter obviously didn't like the second daughter, so what status could a girl from the countryside have? Not to mention these two who were here to serve her temporarily.

"I can pick the pomegranate leaves myself, but where is the mugwort?" Qingyin held back her anger.

This is the Lu Mansion.

In fact, they themselves were still unclear whether the prince wanted them to stay with Lu Zhaoling forever, or just take care of her during the time she was injured and then return to Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Doesn't wormwood have a smell? Smell it, where there is a smell, there is wormwood." The maid pushed her away and said, "Go away, go away, our lady and the eldest daughter want to eat bird's nest, don't delay them!"

When the eldest daughter heard that she was slapped by the second daughter, she was so angry that she started crying and couldn’t eat anything for the whole day. How pitiful.

Qingyin gritted her teeth.

She turned and went to the garden, and soon found a pomegranate tree and picked some branches and leaves. As for the wormwood, she just looked for it!

According to experience, it is usually in the utility room next to the kitchen.

After she found the mugwort, she returned to Tingnuan Tower, soaked the two things in water, and washed it, but the layer of black ash was not completely washed off.

It took three washes to get it clean.

Qingyin was horrified. She really washed it three times!

She had tried it with water before, but it wouldn't come off.

After Lu Zhaoling came out of the shower, Qingyin went in to help her dry her hair. She felt very complicated and moved her mouth several times but didn't know what to ask.

When Lu Zhaoling was drying her hair, she discovered that the wound on the back of her head had healed a lot.

Originally they thought it would be inconvenient to wash her hair since her injuries were so severe, but Lu Zhaoling insisted, so Qing Ling had to wash her hair carefully bit by bit.

Over there, the Prince of Jin placed the spirit tablet of the retired emperor on the altar of the ancestral temple.

He knelt down and kowtowed, looking at the spirit tablet and thinking of Lu Zhaoling again, and couldn't help but speak it out in a low voice.

"Father, the girl you saw earlier is called Lu Zhaoling. I want to get engaged to her. Do you agree?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit tablet suddenly fell down with a bang.

Prince Jin was stunned.

There is no wind here.

He stood up and put the spirit tablet in place.

"Your daughter-in-law helped write the spirit tablet for me. It's placed here, close to the Imperial Palace and Prince Jin's Mansion. Are you happy?"

Baji!

The spirit tablet fell down again.

King Jin frowned. What was going on? He had someone make a base for it, and it was clearly very stable when placed on the altar!

He lifted the spirit tablet up again and tried to shake it this time. It was indeed stable.

"You want me to marry Prime Minister Shen's daughter, but I have no interest in that girl, so I won't marry her. You know my condition, but I'm afraid I won't have children, so I don't want any concubines or anything like that."

He hadn't finished speaking yet when, for the third time, bang!

The spirit tablet fell down again and landed heavily on the table.

Prince Jin felt completely numb.

He lifted up the spirit tablet, said nothing more this time, turned around and left the ancestral temple.

At the back, amid the smoke of incense, the spirit tablet of the retired emperor stood there quietly.

Qingfuhou Mansion.

As soon as Crown Prince Zhu Minghao woke up, he started shouting.

"That bitch! How dare she hit me! Ahhhh it hurts!"

Marquis Qingfu and his wife were both by the bed, looking at him with heartache.

"Son, don't move. Don't let the medicine get rubbed off."

"That little bitch, bring her back to me. I'm going to whip her a hundred or eighty times, strip her naked and whip her!"

The more Zhu Minghao screamed, the more pain he felt all over his body. He cried out in pain, but he hated Lu Zhaoling in his heart.

"And the Prince of Jin!" He turned his head and looked at Qing Fuhou, "Dad, help me go to the palace to find the Queen Mother and tell her that I was bullied by the Prince of Jin, and let her help me make the decision!"
