The day of uneven wind and unquiet waves has finally passed.

Du Xiaomeng was helped back by Liu Lu to Jicui Garden. After she had eaten dinner and had a beautiful bath of wooden barrel petals, Liu Lu came back with medicinal wine to dress her feet.

I had just dressed my ankles and got ready to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.

Liu Lu went to answer the door, and Du Xiaomeng heard Shen Wan's voice in the inner room: "Xiaolu, the general ordered me to bring some special ointment to cover my wife's feet." The soldiers in the army all use this ointment, the effect is more effective than the ordinary ointment, let the wife apply it once a day before going to bed, and Bao Bao can be cured for three or two days. ”

Liu Lu said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Shen Wan." ”

After sending Shen Wan away, Liu Lu walked in excitedly, raised the jar in his hand, and said to Du Xiaomeng with his eyebrows: "Madam, did you hear it?" The general specially asked Brother Shen Wan to send you the ointment! See how well the general treats you! ”

"Isn't it just a little ointment, and you can be happy to be like this?" Du Xiaomeng raised her eyes expressionlessly and swept Liu Lu.

"Madame!" Liu Lu looked at Du Xiaomeng very dissatisfied, and began her broken thoughts and ideological education again, "This is the general's heart, should you say something?" It's not okay for you to always look like this, how can you be a husband who likes his wife to speak coldly to himself and treat his mind as nothing? You ......"

"Alright, alright!" Du Xiaomeng interrupted Liu Lu's words, yawning and lying on the bed, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." You should go to bed early, too. ”

Although the conversation was interrupted, Liu Lu did not intend to let her family lady go like this. She quickly grabbed Du Xiaomeng and said, "Madam, put on the ointment and go to sleep!" ”

Du Xiaomeng glanced at the ankles that were wrapped like zongzi, and said impatiently: "Haven't you already applied it?" What else to wear! ”

Liu Lu said patiently: "These are special ointments sent by the general, and the effect is better than what you just applied. You can't waste the general's intentions in vain, if you want your foot injury to heal quickly, you have to apply this special ointment! ”

Seeing that Liu Lu's attitude is so resolute, if she doesn't apply that kind of special ointment full of heart, she will have to listen to her broken thoughts all night tonight, don't think about sleeping.

In order to be able to sleep, Du Xiaomeng had to retreat. She put her foot in front of Liu Lu, and said angrily, "Dress, dress, dress!" ”

While Liu Lu was busy applying medicine, Du Xiaomeng fell to bed and went to sleep. Today, after experiencing a thrilling kidnapping incident, as well as jumping on one foot on a secluded road, she was already exhausted and fell asleep not long after she lay in bed. Even if the special ointment smelled too bad, even if Liu Lu tossed her feet over and over, it couldn't wake her up.

After a dreamless night, Du Xiaomeng slept until dawn, and was woken up by the chirping of birds outside the window.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Liu Lu rushed forward to help her up. She wanted to get out of bed to brush her teeth and wash her face, but before she could act, Liu Lu had already moved the mouthwash cup and washbasin to the bed, and said, "Madam, please freshen up." ”

After Du Xiaomeng finished freshening up, Liu Lu quickly moved the things away, and moved a small table to the bed, and then took out a food box like a trick, put the steaming meals on the small table one by one, and said while putting it down: "Madam, the master asked Steward Yang to pass the word, saying that you have an injury on your foot, so you don't need to go to ask for peace these days, take care of your injury." As he spoke, the small table was already full of food, "Madame, please use it slowly." ”

"Oh, got it." Du Xiaomeng took the chopsticks and rice bowl handed over by Liu Lu, and was in a good mood.

It's just that she sprained her foot, not only does Master Zhan take special care of her, but also Liu Lu, who simply treats her like a disabled person. In fact, she was not as wasteful as others imagined, and after applying the special ointment for soldiers in the army for a night, if she didn't turn her ankle too hard, she basically didn't feel any pain.

However, Liu Lu is so thoughtful and considerate and meticulous in service, and she is not good at dampening people's enthusiasm for work. So, she didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and became a disabled person who needs special care in the eyes of others, and enjoyed the high-quality services provided by Liulu with peace of mind.

While Du Xiaomeng was working as a disabled person, Zhan Qi, who had just finished the morning court and walked out of the palace with other officials, looked a little absent-minded, and he didn't even hear his colleagues next to him talking to him.

Today's morning, he couldn't see that person. The emperor ordered that person to be transferred back to the capital from the frontier, and that person had already sent him a letter to inform him of his return. According to the date on the letter, the man should have arrived in the capital the day before yesterday, and he also heard from the prince who was waiting for the emperor that the man had entered the palace yesterday morning to ask the emperor for peace.

It was already certain that the person was already in the capital. According to the previous habit, that person would definitely visit the General's Mansion soon after he returned, but this time he had not come to see him until now, and he had not been seen in the morning court yesterday or today.

Out of the palace, Zhan Qi instructed Shen Wan and the two palanquin men: "Go to the Rui Palace!" ”

He was a little uneasy, and he had to confirm for himself whether the kidnapping that happened yesterday was really related to that person.
