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 Liulu'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 an excessive amount can be fatal!"

Xiaoyue trembled and took the incense from Liulu's hand. She brought this incense back from outside for Liulu. Therefore, Xiaoyue knew the harm of this incense better than anyone else.

Liu Lu is her master. When she is favored, everyone around her can enjoy the blessing.

However, she had not expected that the Marquis was like an addict and stayed at her aunt's place for several nights in a row - even the cows in the fields did 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..." Liulu did not snatch it away and gave it to Xiaoyue.

How could she not know something that even a maid could discover?

However, the Marquis had recently stayed at her place, and everyone felt that she was in great favor. The servants who had been doing small things behind her back also changed their minds and began to curry favor with her.

This is what Liu Lu wanted to see, and it was also what she wanted to fight for from the beginning.

But she found that Lu Jing seemed to find pleasure in her and always came over. Last time, he even mentioned that the smell in this room was good, which scared Liu Lu so much that she almost knocked over the incense burner!

He was happy, but Liu Lu was terrified!

"Xiao Yue, think of a way to deal with all of this." Liu Lu was very nervous. After all, it was her first time doing 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 notice the difference.

The only solution now is to stop burning this incense, and not let Lu Jing come over again!

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 in the evening and asked the kitchen to prepare in advance. If he was suddenly not allowed to come, the Marquis would definitely become 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 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 couldn't stop shivering. It was windy outside today, and Liu Lu's teeth were trembling slightly.

Xiaoyue understood instantly and agreed with gritted teeth.

When Lu Jing came over in the evening, 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 didn't 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 even weaker.

Sure enough, Lu Jing did not doubt it and reached out to touch her forehead, and was frightened by the heat.

"It's so hot?! Then you should rest well."

Lu Jing covered her with a blanket and stood up to leave. Liu Lu was really tired these days, so it would be good to let her rest for a few days.

"Master Hou!"

Liu Lu suddenly pulled him in fear and said unconfidently: "Then will the Marquis come to my place again in the future?"

She raised her head, her slightly red eyes were full of tears: "It is hard to sleep alone. Only when the Marquis is by my side can I have a good sleep."

Lu Jing was very moved, "Don't worry, I will come to see you when you get better."

Lu Jing was very pleased with Liu Lu's dependence. He saw the shadow of Fang Rou in Liu Lu. Fang Rou was also like this at that time, 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 in the past?

"Then I will 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 had mentioned a few days ago.

Liu Lu had the supplements put away without looking at them. However, she sorted out the jewelry and divided it into two parts, and sent one part to Zhu Hong.

She asked Xiaoyue to secretly pour the medicine for treating the cold outside the window, took out a thumb-sized pill from the secret compartment of the cabinet, and swallowed it in one gulp with her eyes closed!

"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 that this medicine works best when taken dry."

She had suffered so much before, so this time is no difference.

She must gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion!

The sound of the night watchman rose and fell, and with a creaking sound, a figure quietly slipped out of the yard.

Xiaoyue crouched down and came under 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. Except for sometimes accompanying her to do shopping, she would easily be noticed if she applied to leave the house on her own.

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 here.

After a few more days of rain, the ashes will blend into the soil, and even if you dig it up, you won’t find any traces of it…

After doing all this, Xiaoyue tiptoed back.

She felt relieved 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 fast and steady, and very familiar. Even if Xiaoyue came over again, there would be no signs of tampering.

She quickly disappeared into the night with the incense ash. After walking around the mansion for a few times, she gently knocked on a side door...
