She sighed and got up from the bed, her body was sticky and uncomfortable, and she couldn't sleep without washing. The ear room of her house was inhabited by a maid on night duty, today happened to be Ruizhu on duty, Fang Qingluo hesitated slightly, but still opened his mouth to call Ruizhu, but he didn't expect Ruizhu to walk in immediately, and it seemed that he didn't fall asleep at all.

"Does the county lord drink water?" Mizuki asked.

"I'm sweating and want to take a shower, you wake up the rough maid Xiaogui outside to boil water." Fang Qingluo commanded.

"Yes." Ruizhu answered and turned to go out, and soon turned back again. "County Lord, Xiao Gui is already boiling water, I'll find you a handkerchief to wipe your sweat first."

Fang Qingluo nodded, it would be good to catch a cold if it was wet like this. Ruizhu wiped the sweat on her body with her hands and feet, and Fang Qingluo took advantage of her work to ask, "Ruizhu, didn't you rest for a while before?" ”

Ruizhu smiled, "How can I go to sleep by myself at night, I'm used to it in the palace before, and I can't sleep if I really want to." ”

"In the future, there will be more maids in the house, and you won't have to work so hard." Fang Qingluo said that Ruizhu's identity is different, and it can be regarded as a grievance with her, but Ruizhu did not complain, which made her appreciate it very much, and naturally she couldn't bear to feel that Ruizhu was too tired.

Ruizhu understood Fang Qingluo's kindness, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the county lord, this tiredness is nothing, isn't it possible to rest tomorrow morning?" ”

The two chatted for a while, and Fang Qingluo asked Ruizhu some things in the palace, of course, they can all be asked, such as how is the queen mother and her old man's health, whether there is a prince now, what concubines are in the harem, and so on. Ruizhu was very patient, answered Fang Qingluo one by one, and deliberately talked about some things to pay attention to, such as the Queen Mother, her old man likes to hold poetry meetings, and often invites celebrities and ladies in the capital to participate; Another example is that the lady concubine loves peach, and no one dares to wear peach at the palace banquet in general, for fear of upsetting the lady.

Fang Qingluo wrote these down carefully, she didn't like to deal with the royal family, but it was inevitable that she would have to enter the palace in the future, and she could make less trouble if she had some preparations in her heart, Ruizhu had been in the palace for many years, and it could be regarded as a living dictionary.

When Xiao Gui brought the bath water, Ruizhu personally served Fang Qingluo to bathe, she also had a special learning of massage, and helped Fang Qingluo pinch her neck when she was taking a bath, Fang Qingluo pretended to be groggy, but he secretly paid attention to Ruizhu's technique, and found that many of them were indeed pressed on the acupuncture points, and the technique was also exquisite.

After bathing, Fang Qingluo felt a lot more comfortable, and after wiping his hair half-dry, he leaned on the bed in a daze, but Ruizhu woke her up softly, brought a bowl of longan lotus seed soup up, and said: "Don't be in a hurry to sleep first, your hair is wet and easy to have a headache, drink a bowl of lotus seed soup first, etc." ”

Fang Qingluo knew that what she said was reasonable, nodded and sat up, took a sip from the bowl, the soup was very light, not sweet and greasy, it was her favorite taste. As soon as he wanted to say a few words, he heard the voice of peony outside: "Is the county lord asleep?" ”

"Come in!" Fang Qingluo responded, and when he saw Peony Yao walking in disheveled, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" I don't know, I think you're what's wrong. ”

Peony looked down at her clothes, blushed a little embarrassedly, and then said with a straight face: "County Lord, I have something important to tell you, just now I found out that Yuxiu was talking to someone in the backyard, I wanted to hear it clearly, but that person suddenly ran over the wall." ”

Fang Qingluo frowned, Yuxiu was connected with someone in the backyard so late? Sounds like nothing good.

"Where's the backyard where she found you?" Fang Qingluo asked.

"Just now there was movement in your house, I also woke up, I thought about going to relieve my hands first, but when I was passing by the side wall of the backyard, I heard the sound of rustling, I was quite scared, I thought it was a mouse, so I hid on the side of the road and didn't dare to move, and then I heard Yuxiu's voice, she was a little excited, said no, and then she lowered her voice, I couldn't hear clearly." Peony said with some annoyance, "Later, Xiao Gui picked up hot water and came out, and the man ran over the wall, and Yuxiu also sneaked back to the house, so I shouldn't have found me." ”

Because of the small population of Liuzhuju, Xiao Gui and Yuxiu each have a subordinate room, which is mainly because Yuxiu looks down on Xiao Gui and thinks that Xiao Gui is dirty, while the other two mothers-in-law of the Lu clan live in another subordinate room together. Fang Qingluo regretted a little, if Xiao Gui and Yuxiu had been arranged in the same room, he would have been able to catch her right today and let her get out.

However, whether to get out or not is not a matter of her words, Fang Qingluo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Don't tell you about this, so as not to startle the snake, I want to see what Yuxiu is doing." ”

"County Lord, there are many shady means for big families, and you have to guard against them." Ruizhu kindly reminded that she was afraid that Fang Qingluo was only a fourteen-year-old girl after all, and she was simple-minded, and she was plotted by the people of the Mu Mansion.

"I'll be careful, and you should be careful not to be assassinated." Fang Qingluo said.

Ruizhu and Peony nodded one after another, Fang Qingluo drank the soup and wiped his hair again, before letting the two of them go down to rest and fall asleep again.

In the next few days, Yuxiu was very peaceful, Fang Qingluo instructed the peony herbs during the day, and secretly changed the prescription for Lan Zhi at night, she also wanted to change her own prescription, but the imperial doctor would come over in a few days, she didn't dare to be discovered by the imperial doctor, it was better to wait for a few days to be better and then do her hands and feet, so it would not be too obvious.

After a few more days, Lan Zhi's injuries were much better, she was no longer sleepy most of the day, and the scar on Fang Qingluo's neck also had a scab, with a slight scar, and the imperial doctor naturally prescribed her the medicine to build muscle and remove the scar, but she was not worried about the flaws because of this.

Seeing that the situation was improving day by day, Fang Qingluo felt that it was not bad to travel to this era, at least there was a chance to live again, as for whether she could live a little more freely, it was up to her.

Fang Qingluo remembered one thing, her cousin Lu Zhengxuan didn't know what was wrong, and he didn't come to visit her before, as far as she knew, the defense of men and women in this dynasty was not so strict, and even the aristocratic men and women were still studying in an academy, according to reason, Lu Zhengxuan shouldn't be inconvenient to see her, could it be that something happened to Lu Zhengxuan?

Fang Qingluo had a good impression of Lu Zhengxuan, so he said to Gu's mother: "Mom, prepare some medicinal supplements, I plan to go and see Cousin Lu." ”

Gu's mother responded, and quickly prepared a few bags of things, and Fang Qingluo asked Ruizhu to take the food box and fill it with some small snacks made by Ruizhu himself. The four of them walked towards Lu Zhengxuan's courtyard.

On the way, Fang Qingluo asked Gu's mother about Lu Zhengxuan's situation, and Gu's mother sighed again and said, "Young Master Cousin is charitable, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time." His mother is the cousin of the prince, and his father is an ordinary six-rank civil official in Xingyaoguo, but the cousin is studious since he was a child, and his literary skills are also excellent, but it is a pity that Enzezi cannot participate in the imperial examination, let alone be an official. Originally, as the young master of the table, at most he was arranged to be a benevolent son of an ordinary family, but because of the prince, you, the county lord, the young master, and Miss Qingyu were all arranged to the Mu Mansion. ”

"What was my relationship with Cousin Deer before? Are you close on weekdays? Fang Qingluo asked.

Gu's mother seemed to think of something, "Since you were five years old, Young Master Cousin has often come to the palace, sometimes he can live for a month or two, and the prince also personally instructed him in his homework, and some people speculated below, saying that the prince may have thought about succeeding Young Master Cousin to his name, as for whether it is true or not, it is not clear, anyway, the prince has not mentioned this matter in public." County Lord, you used to be introverted, and you didn't get as close as the young master of your cousin, but the relationship was not bad. ”

Fang Qingluo nodded, she was still a little worried before, thinking that Lu Zhengxuan was willing to be tortured for her, wouldn't it be because he was emotionally entangled with the original Fang Qingluo? She accepted the mess of her predecessor, but she didn't want to accept the feelings of her predecessor anymore, she had her own choice.

Now listening to Gu's mother say this, she is a lot more relieved, it seems that the predecessor should be nothing with Lu Zhengxuan, even if there is, it is Lu Zhengxuan's wishful thinking, but she feels that Lu Zhengxuan should protect her sister's psychology.

Lu Zhengxuan's courtyard is not as big as Fang Qingluo's Liuzhu Residence, after all, Fang Qingluo is the county lord of the imperial gift, even if the house is simple, this courtyard can't be small, Mu Mansion will still do these superficial efforts. And Lu Zhengxuan's yard is very simple, that is, two huts and a very small yard.

Fang Qingluo and the others walked to the door and were about to knock on the door, when they suddenly heard a voice from inside.

"Why don't you tell her that if she hadn't annoyed the eldest lady by willfulness, how could you have suffered like this? You think about her, but when did she think about it? ”

Fang Qingluo and the four of them all stopped and glanced at each other, the anger and disappointment in that voice were Fang Qingyu's voice, and anyone could hear it, the "she" in Fang Qingyu's mouth referred to Fang Qingluo.

Gu's mother frowned, if she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she couldn't believe that Miss Qingyu would say this about her family's county lord behind her back, obviously with a provocative taste.

Peony was very angry and wanted to rush in to scold Fang Qingyu, but Fang Qingluo grabbed her and made a boo gesture, Peony reacted, and hurriedly nodded and closed her mouth.

Fang Qingyu was angry and her voice was a little loud, so she heard it very clearly outside the courtyard gate, but Lu Zhengxuan was in a remote location, and ordinary people didn't want to come over, so she dared to say these words so boldly.

Lu Zhengxuan was not as loud as Fang Qingyu's voice, but was very calm, and said: "Qingyu, you shouldn't say that, Qingluo has suffered all these years, I also hope that she can be brave, she is no longer cowardly now, we should be happy for her." ”

Fang Qingluo nodded when he heard this, Lu Zhengxuan was a righteous gentleman.

Fang Qingyu became even more angry when she heard this, and her voice became much sharper, "We are happy for her, but who will pity us?" Besides, she doesn't know how much pain she will have to suffer in the future, and she will have to burden you again when the time comes. ”
