Chapter 232 It’s Not Suitable to Go Out
She was actually happy, which made Moxiang, who was unaware of the situation, very worried. She specially called Chen Xing over and asked her to talk to Chu Liuzheng more.
But Chen Xing has been busy recently, of course, not busy serving tea.
A group of strange corpses arrived at the Secret Guard Camp, and she had to help with the autopsy to find the cause of death. She had not been in the palace for several days, and she relied on Miyue to cover for her.
Now everyone has returned to Yiran Garden, but Ke Xin is still staying in the Dark Guard Camp.
When she told stories to Chu Liuzheng, she was so disjointed and her words were incoherent that Chu Liuzheng felt so uncomfortable. It would be better for her to just brush the system and eat melons by herself.
"Have some tea and take a break." Chu Liuzheng poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him. "I see your eyes are dark circles, but didn't you get enough rest?"
Chen Xing responded vaguely, holding the teacup and drinking slowly.
Chu Liuzheng knew exactly what she had been doing recently and said, "If you have something to do, go do it. You don't have to sit here with me."
"Nothing is more important than my sister." Chen Xing put down the teacup and continued with a smile.
Chu Liuzheng: “…”
She reached out to pinch Chen Xing's cheek, and Chen Xing took advantage of the situation to grab her wrist and looked at her hand carefully. "There are still some blood scabs that haven't fallen off. Sister, you have to be more careful."
"Yeah." Chu Liuzheng responded lightly and looked at his hands.
Although the place where the blood scab has fallen off is smooth and has no scar hyperplasia, the newly grown skin and flesh is pink and white, which is still different from the surrounding skin. It is necessary to apply the ointment specially formulated by the Imperial Hospital every day.
According to Doctor Li, you have to keep applying it for at least half a month.
Chu Liuzheng was wondering, would her recuperation period end in half a month or after all the blood scabs fell off?
As the leisurely days passed, the answer to this question soon came.
On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the auspicious day when the second prince of Western Xia married Princess Meizhen, Chu Liuzheng resumed work.
I had to take night duty on the first day, which was arranged by Zhou Yuande himself.
While Chu Liuzheng lamented that his leisurely days were gone forever, he timed his way to Changchun Palace to thank the Empress for her kindness and care over the past few days.
Queen Zhong was taking a nap, so Qiu Sui naturally wouldn't go in and disturb her for Chu Liuzheng.
Chu Liuzheng waited at the palace gate for a while. When she heard the eunuch who had returned say that the empress was taking a nap, she kowtowed at the palace gate, said some high-sounding words of thanks, then stood up and left, heading towards the imperial kitchen.
"Oh, young lady, you've come at the right time. We're just about to go to Yiran Garden." Chen Shouping, a dusty bundle slung over his arm, said with a smile, "This isn't the place to talk. Young lady, please come with us."
Chu Liuzheng followed him into a utility room. Chen Shouping handed the bundle to her and nodded at her, "Young lady, open it and take a look."
【Why is there such a big bag? 】
Chu Liuzheng felt strange and reached out to untie it.
Inside the bundle was a brand new dress, made of light red satin, soft and smooth to the touch, with very simple embroidery, not the palace style.
Next to the clothes were two pairs of soft embroidered shoes, one larger and one smaller.
She had two guesses in her mind and turned to look at Chen Shouping: "Eunuch Chen, what is this?"
Chen Shouping smiled and handed her a letter. "It came with the family letter. I brought it in for you."
He said it lightly, but Chu Liuzheng knew how difficult it was to bring things from outside the palace in.
She guessed that Eunuch Chen did this to thank her for exposing Xiao Yuzi's embezzlement last time, and it was also a way of returning the favor.
She tied the bundle again and bowed to Chen Shouping: "Thank you, eunuch."
"What are you doing, girl? Get up quickly." Chen Shouping reached out to help her.
Chu Liuzheng stood up and stuffed a purse into his sleeve pocket. "The Imperial Kitchen is busy. I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."
Chen Shouping smiled and saw her out, "Goodbye, young lady."

Chu Liuzheng was walking absentmindedly with his bag on his shoulder when suddenly a man came out from the corner. The two bumped into each other and the other one covered his head and cried out "ouch".
Chu Liuzheng also felt a pain in her forehead from the collision. She looked across and saw a strange nanny with a scar on her forehead and drooping eyebrows. She looked very fierce.
Seeing Chu Liuzheng dressed simply and without any jewelry on her head, the nanny thought she wasn't some favored palace maid. She glared at her and cursed, "What are you running around for, you blind, lowly bastard? You have a pair of useless eyes, gouge them out right away!"
Before Chu Liuzheng could even say his apology, he was scolded. He thought to himself, this nanny is so unreasonable. Which palace is so arrogant?
She flipped through the system.
[Oh, a familiar face. This is Aunt Qi.]
After scolding for a while, Nanny Qi saw that Chu Liuzheng was just staring at her, neither apologizing nor making amends. She immediately became even angrier and raised her hand to slap Chu Liuzheng.
Chu Liuzheng ducked and hit her stomach hard with his elbow.
Want to hit her?
After all, she was a servant in front of the emperor, and a nanny from Chengbi Hall was not qualified.
"Ah!" Aunt Qi shrank back in pain, holding her stomach and fell to the ground.
Chu Liuzheng patted his sleeves. It had been a long time since he last hit anyone, so fortunately he was not rusty at it.
She smiled and waved at Madam Qi. "I have to go to the Imperial Court to serve, so I won't be able to talk to you anymore."
In front of the emperor?
This little palace maid is actually serving in front of the emperor!
Nanny Qi's eyes widened in shock, and she no longer had the arrogance she had just now. She didn't even dare to shout at Chu Liuzheng to stop.
[Tsk tsk, this Aunt Qi is really putting on a good show. The system clearly states that she knows some fighting skills, yet she didn't even try to dodge just now. She's truly dedicated.]
With this sudden incident, Chu Liuzheng's melancholy and sadness disappeared with the elbow, and he walked towards Yiran Garden with his bag on his shoulder.
Just as she was thinking of going back to try on the new clothes her mother had made for her, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a white shadow.
She subconsciously turned her head to look.
Nothing.
She blinked and thought to herself, could it be that she saw it wrong?
After thinking for a while, she walked towards the place where the white shadow appeared, and suddenly saw two dead mice at the foot of the wall.
There should be two. Although the body was chopped into pieces, it still had two heads.
[Ah~]
Chu Liuzheng frowned in disgust, his throat tightened and he almost vomited.
She looked away and took a step back.
There was no blood ball when she came here just now, so how come it appeared when she came back?
Who did it?
She looked around and saw no one, so she walked back while searching the system and found one.
Xiao Qingzi, who tended the flowers and trees in the Imperial Garden, became addicted to killing rats. He often used them to intimidate the other palace servants, enjoying hiding in the shadows and listening to their screams of fear.
[Hey, what kind of perverted hobby is this? ]
When Chu Liuzheng saw the detailed description of the rat torture steps in the system, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, and sighed that there were so many perverts in this palace.
Thinking that the perverted Xiao Qingzi might be hiding in the dark and staring at her, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, almost jogging.
Not knowing if it was not a good day to go out today, Chu Liuzheng bumped into someone while walking and was knocked to the ground, landing hard on his butt.
Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes in winter, so the fall was not very painful.
She was worried about bumping into another Aunt Qi, so she didn't even bother to get up and just looked across.
The moment I saw the person clearly, [Huh?]
