The dim back

Qiu Feng was lying on the bed, his face pale and his body wrapped in thick bandages. His eyes revealed a hint of weakness, but he still tried to keep smiling. Liu Zhongqing stood by the bed, looking at Qiu Feng with a worried look on his face, his eyes full of concern and heartache.

Liu Zhongqing held Qiufeng's hands tightly with both hands and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Feng'er, what's wrong with you?" His eyes swept back and forth over Qiufeng, as if trying to find the answer from his wound.

Qiu Feng coughed gently a few times, then replied with a smile: "Zhongqing, I'm fine, just a minor injury, don't worry too much." He tried to comfort Liu Zhongqing with a relaxed tone, but his voice sounded a little weak.

Liu Zhongqing frowned, knowing that Qiu Feng's injury must be serious. He held Qiu Feng's hand tightly and said, "Feng'er, don't lie to me. Tell me the truth, who hurt you like this?" There was a hint of determination in his voice, and he was determined to seek justice for Qiu Feng.

Qiu Feng looked at Liu Zhongqing, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes. He knew that Liu Zhongqing really cared about him, but he didn't want Liu Zhongqing to worry too much about him. He shook his head and said, "Zhongqing, it's really okay. Look, can't I still joke with you now?" He tried to squeeze out a brighter smile, hoping to reassure Liu Zhongqing.

Liu Zhongqing sighed. He knew Qiu Feng didn't want him to worry, but he also understood Qiu Feng's stubbornness. He sat silently by the bed, accompanying Qiu Feng quietly, hoping to give him some strength and support.

Zhang Yulu pushed open the door and stepped into the room. Through the half-open door, he saw two people in the room hugging each other intimately and whispering softly. They seemed to be immersed in their own world and did not notice Zhang Yulu's arrival at all. Zhang Yulu could not help but frowned and coughed softly, attracting the attention of the two people.

They separated as if awakened from a dream, with a slightly awkward look on their faces. Zhang Yulu walked forward and said in a slightly serious tone: "Stop being so affectionate and focus on business." His eyes were firm and serious, making it impossible to avoid. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little tense. The two looked at each other and then nodded silently, as if to express their agreement.

Zhang Yulu's words were like a wake-up call, waking up the two people who were immersed in sweetness. They realized that they should shift their attention to important things at this moment, so they sorted out their emotions and started to discuss business. Zhang Yulu sat aside, raising some key questions and suggestions from time to time, guiding the direction of the discussion. Gradually, the charming atmosphere in the room was replaced by a serious and focused work atmosphere.

Zhang Yulu said nervously, "We are really facing internal and external troubles now, but I did hear a piece of news recently that Lin Xuefeng seems to be coming."

Lin Xuefeng was a man of many schemes, so Liu Zhongqing naturally did not dare to neglect him: "Could he really be sent by the Queen Mother? What exactly does the Queen Mother want to do?"

As the Queen Mother's spy, Qiu Feng naturally spoke for her: "It's possible that you have misunderstood. What should I say? The Queen Mother is also concerned about the safety of the Emperor. In addition, the Princess is helping her. What we know is definitely not true."

Zhang Yulu didn't want to hear Qiu Feng's distortion of the facts: "Why do you have to make your words sound so nice? Now you are on the Queen Mother's side. If you hadn't been injured for Liu Zhongqing this time, you would never have won Liu Zhongqing's trust."

After Zhang Yulu finished saying these words, he saw Qiu Feng wiping away tears silently.

Qiu Feng said shamelessly: "Who jokes about his own life? I am really sincere to the prince."

Zhang Yulu didn't want to dwell on it any more: "I am being nosy, but I just want to remind you that Lin Xuefeng is a man who can't say what weird things he will do again."

Seeing Zhang Yulu walking out, Liu Zhongqing wanted to follow her.

Qiu Feng quickly grabbed Liu Zhongqing and leaned his weak body into Liu Zhongqing's arms: "Prince, please don't leave me, I just wanted to eat lotus cake."

Liu Zhongqing had no choice but to call the maid nearby.

Qiu Feng's maid was very careful. After receiving Qiu Feng's warning look, she immediately understood: "I will go out and prepare now."

When Qiu Feng picked up the first piece of lotus seed cake, he stuffed it into Liu Zhongqing's mouth: "You should try it and see if it tastes the same as the ones we ate together before?"

Liu Zhongqing had no doubts, took it, took a bite and said, "It's really delicious, why does it feel a little weird?"

Liu Zhongqing suddenly felt dizzy, holding his head and said, "What the hell is wrong with me?"

In a trance, he saw that the autumn wind was not as gentle as it seemed and began to tear at Liu Zhongqing's clothes.

Liu Zhongqing had no way to move at all.

Zhang Yulu returned to the room, and her maid said to her, "Princess, you are the real princess, how could you let Concubine Qiu defeat you?"

Zhang Yulu said shamelessly: "You are a man, what is there to fight for? If you have this opportunity, you might as well look at what you want to do and complete the task assigned by the Queen Mother this time."

Seeing that her organization was so stubborn, the maid had no choice but to ease the atmosphere: "Just now I saw Concubine Qiu's maid holding a lotus seed cake in her hand, how about I go get one too?"

Zhang Yulu thought it was right, so she nodded and walked out together. She just saw the shadow of the candle opposite cast on the window.

Zhang Yulu angrily yelled: "How shameless!"

Only then did the maid see that the candle shadow cast on the window was the scene of Qiu Feng hugging Lu Ziqing.

Zhang Yulu and Liu Zongqing are already a real couple, so of course they understand what is going on.

Although Zhang Yulu restrained her emotions, she knew in her heart that she really didn't want her husband to have any relationship with anyone else.

Zhang Yulu said in her heart, "If this happened in modern times, before I traveled through time, I would have kicked such a big pig's hoof away with two feet."

Zhang Yulu turned around and went back into the house angrily. Seeing that things were not going well, the maid could only say, "I will go to the kitchen first and bring the lotus seed cake over. Princess, please don't be angry."

Zhang Yulu no longer believed in it and could only stand up: "I want to see how delicious this lotus seed cake is. It can make a person who knows how to be moderate become what he is now."

When Zhang Yulu picked up the lotus seed cake and just sniffed it, she knew the reason: "It turns out that there is aphrodisiac powder in the lotus seed cake. Fortunately, I have studied a lot of medicinal herbs recently."

The maid was overjoyed to hear this: "So, this is not what the prince intended. It seems that Concubine Qiu is already anxious. If Concubine Qiu doesn't give any more instructions, there will be no way to clear the Qiu family's grievances in my lifetime."

Zhang Yulu knew it well: "We all have our own purpose. I am also here for Yiren Villa. Otherwise, why would I be entangled here?"

The master and servant then took a short rest.

The sky soon brightened, and Zhang Yulu came to Concubine Qiu's door and knocked on it vigorously.

Zhang Yulu said as she took the photo: "Your Majesty, please get up early. Lin Xuefeng will be here soon."

Liu Zhongqing slowly woke up and looked at Qiu Feng sleeping in his arms, a little shocked: "What on earth is going on? Why did I fall asleep so quickly yesterday?"

Seeing Qiu Feng looking into his eyes, Liu Zhongqing already knew the truth of the matter: "I didn't expect that a lady from a wealthy family like you could do such a thing. It really subverted my worldview."

Qiu Feng disagreed: "I helped the prince this time. Every time the prince saw me, he was different from before. I just wanted us to go back to the past."

Zhang Yulu kept shouting outside the door: "Prince, if you don't come out now, it will be very embarrassing later."

Liu Zhongqing was getting angry while putting on his clothes, but Qiu Feng was completely different: "Everyone is living for themselves, what's wrong with me doing this?"

Liu Zhongqing felt as if he had been used: "You are no longer the lady from a noble family that I knew. Where have all the propriety, righteousness, and integrity that you learned gone?"

Liu Zhongqing said as he opened the door. When he saw Zhang Yulu, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Listen to me."

Zhang Yulu didn't want to care about all that: "There's nothing to say. It's a natural thing for the two of you to do. I'm just interfering. Let's just get down to business."
