The next morning, Lu Jing came out of Liu Lu's room holding his waist.
Lately, he has been feeling unusually tired.
But now, he is full of energy and spirit.
Maybe it’s because of the change of environment, so I feel a little more relaxed?
After all, there have been too many bad things recently, which really made him physically and mentally exhausted.
This long-lost feeling of comfort made him stay at Liu Lu's place for several nights in a row. Every time he left, the blue color in Lu Jing's eyes would deepen a little.
But his mood became more and more cheerful.
"Auntie, don't add any more. The doctor said that a moderate amount can help with pleasure, but if you take too much, it could be fatal!"
Xiaoyue trembled with fear and snatched the incense from Liulu's hand. She had brought this incense back from outside to help Liulu. Therefore, Xiaoyue knew better than anyone the harm of this incense.
Liu Lu is her master. When she is favored, everyone around her can enjoy the benefits.
However, she had not expected that the Marquis was like an addict and stayed at her concubine's place for several nights in a row - even the cows in the fields would not dare to plow like this!
That’s the Marquis!
If anything bad happens, not only the concubine, but also the servants will be in trouble!
So Xiaoyue had to stop it even at the risk of offending Liulu.
"How could I not know the harm of this incense..." Liu Lu did not snatch it away, but gave it to Xiaoyue.
How could she not know something that even a maid could discover?
However, the Marquis had recently been staying at her place, and everyone felt that she was in great favor. Even the servants who had been doing things behind her back had changed their tune and started to curry favor with her.
This is what Liu Lu wanted to see, and it was what she wanted to fight for from the beginning.
But she found that Lu Jing seemed to find pleasure in her presence and always came over. Last time, he even mentioned that the fragrance in this room was nice, which scared Liu Lu so much that she almost knocked over the incense burner!
He was happy, but Liu Lu was terrified!
"Xiaoyue, think of a way to deal with all of this." Liulu was very nervous. After all, it was the first time she did such a thing. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was still unsure in her heart.
It is said that wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Now, she finally understands the meaning of this sentence.
But fortunately, these few days are enough.
The problem right now is that this incense has been used for a few days. If it is suddenly stopped, Lu Jing will definitely notice something is wrong.
When he comes over, he will soon find the difference.
The only solution now is to stop burning this incense, and not let Lu Jing come over anymore!
The more times he comes, the greater the chance of being exposed!
"But aunt, what if the Marquis asks?" Xiaoyue asked worriedly.
When he left this morning, the Marquis specifically told him to come to Liulu's place that evening and asked the kitchen to prepare food in advance. If he was suddenly not allowed to come, it would definitely make the Marquis suspicious!
Liu Lu pondered for a moment, and suddenly saw the cold water next to her after washing her face. She made up her mind and picked it up to pour it over her from head to toe!
"Go and tell the Marquis that I have a sudden high fever and cannot serve you tonight!"
The cold water soaked her completely, and she shivered uncontrollably. It was windy outside, and Liu Lu's teeth were chattering slightly.
Xiaoyue understood instantly and agreed with gritted teeth.
When Lu Jing came over at night, Liu Lu was lying weakly on the bed with a bowl of bitter medicine beside her, which made people frown when they smelled it.
"What happened? He was fine when he left home this morning, how come he suddenly developed a high fever?"
The concern in Lu Jing's eyes did not seem fake. Liu Lu felt relieved that the Marquis finally had her in his eyes.
"It's all my fault. I made the Marquis worried." Liu Lu spoke softly, deliberately lowering her voice to make herself sound weaker.
Sure enough, Lu Jing didn't doubt it and reached out to touch her forehead, and was frightened by the heat.
"It's so hot?! Then you should get some rest."
Lu Jing covered her with a blanket and stood up to leave. Liu Lu had been really tired these past few days, so it would be good to let her rest for a few days.
"My Lord!"
Liu Lu suddenly pulled him with fear, and said unconfidently: "Then will the Marquis come to this concubine's place again in the future?"
She raised her head, her slightly red eyes full of tears: "It's hard to sleep alone. Only when the Marquis is by my side can I have a good dream."
Lu Jing was deeply moved. "Don't worry, I will come to see you when you get better."
Lu Jing was very happy with Liu Lu's dependence on him. He saw in Liu Lu the shadow of Fang Rou in the past. Fang Rou at that time was also like this, with only him in her heart and eyes.
It’s a pity that time flies and the past is hard to return.
Now, for Kang Ge, Fang Rou simply ignored him. How could she be like this before?
"Then I will definitely get better as soon as possible and wait for you, My Lord!" Liu Lu gave a weak smile, which made Lu Jing feel even more distressed.
He sent people to deliver many supplements, as well as the jewelry from Shengbaozhai that Liulu mentioned a few days ago.
Liu Lu had the supplements put away without looking at them. However, she sorted out the jewelry, divided it into two parts, and sent one to Zhu Hong.
She asked Xiaoyue to secretly pour the medicine for the cold outside the window, took out a thumb-sized pill from the secret compartment of the cabinet, closed her eyes and swallowed it in one gulp!
“It’s so bitter!”
A feeling of nausea came over her, and Liu Lu covered her mouth tightly, forcing herself to swallow the smelly and bitter pill.
Xiaoyue hurriedly handed her a cup of warm water, but Liulu waved her hand away.
"The doctor said this medicine works best when taken dry."
She had suffered so much before, so this time was no different.
She must gain a firm foothold in the Marquis' Mansion!
The sound of the night watchman's drum rose and fell, and with a creaking sound, a figure quietly slipped out of the yard.
Xiaoyue crouched down and came to the bottom of the window. She used a small shovel to dig a hole, then took out the incense burner from behind and poured all the ashes into it.
Liu Lu asked her to deal with these things, but if the servants left the house, they needed to report to the higher authorities.
She was just a little maid. Apart from occasionally accompanying her on shopping trips, she would easily be noticed if she applied to leave the house alone.
So she had to come up with this idea. Anyway, the things were hidden in her aunt's yard, and no one would have thought that something was buried there.
After a few more days of rain, the incense ashes will melt into the soil, and even if you dig it up, you won't find any trace of it...
After doing all this, Xiaoyue tiptoed back.
She let go of the heavy stone in her heart and was finally able to sleep peacefully.
However, she didn't know that after she left, another figure hiding in the darkness slowly came to her previous position.
Then, he quickly dug it open, put some of the incense ash inside, and restored the place to its original state.
Her technique was quick and steady, very familiar. Even if Xiaoyue came over herself, there would be no signs of tampering.
She quickly disappeared into the night, carrying the incense ash with her. After circling a few corners in the mansion, she gently knocked on a side door...
