In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Zhu Zhizhou smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, "Okay, okay, White Lady, don't be polite, come and have dinner with us!"

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's finish our meal quickly and go back to the inn to get some sleep before we talk..."

"There's nothing serious going on in Zhaozhou. Those people... I think they just have diarrhea. They probably haven't eaten well and have been worried lately, so they have some minor illnesses. Don't worry about it."

The magistrate of Zhaozhou did not take this matter seriously at all.

At first, he was shocked to see that something was wrong with the people in the city. Later, he found that this was not a plague at all, but just a common headache and fever.

Isn't this normal?

However, because some people in Zhaozhou were exaggerating, the people were afraid, and Zhu Zhizhou was also very afraid.

They even deliberately said something very weird, saying that they were very ill and wanted the Zhaozhou magistrate to help them see a doctor, so that they could be lazy and not do farm work, and let the Zhaozhou magistrate pay for a free full-body physical examination for them.

Let’s put aside whether this disease can be cured for now, and other diseases...can you help cure them at the same time?

That's why these farces happened.

This really scared the governor of Zhaozhou, and also scared Bai Lu and the others.

Bai Lu sat at the dinner table, listening to the prefect briefly mention the matter, and then changed the subject: "Lady Bai, you can just take the pulse here, it will be over in half a day!"

"If you're happy to stay in Zhaozhou, stay there. If you're not happy, you can go back to Qingzhou..."

"I'm really sorry to have troubled you all."

Bai Lu was happy to hear this. A relaxed expression appeared on her beautiful fair face, and she smiled lightly.

"Nothing, Your Excellency, it is settled then."

Bai Lu said she would go see a doctor after dinner, but the Zhaozhou prefect said firmly, "That's not necessary. It would make us look as if we haven't taken good care of you."

"How about this, you go back and have a good sleep first, and then... we'll take you to see a doctor."

The Zhaozhou prefect's smile was a little strange...

Bai Lu didn't show it on his face, but he was stunned in his heart.

After dinner, they went to the inn.

The name of the inn is Yunlai Inn, what an elegant name!

An ordinary inn would be considered good with three floors, but in an area like Zhaozhou, ordinary houses have three floors, so a luxurious inn must have many floors.

Yunlai Inn has seven floors!

Old Master Xu Maochun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Lady Bai, we are so lucky to be able to eat and sleep in such a nice place."

He shook his head and sighed, his eyes shining. "We really can't afford to stay in an inn that costs 20 cents a night."

"Yeah, we're spending too much!"

"Hahaha, how much do we earn in a month?!"

These doctors only get higher monthly salaries during special periods, and at other times they only get thirty or forty cents a day.

It would be better for them to live in a dilapidated temple than to spend half a day's salary to stay in an inn.

Everyone has to support their family. 20 cents can buy four or five pounds of coarse grains, which is enough to feed a family for many days!

Bai Lu also smiled and said to everyone, "Don't mention you, I've never stayed in an inn on the 7th floor either."

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

She turned her head to look at Bai Qi beside her. Bai Qi nodded to Bai Lu and went in to check first.

After a thorough examination, Bai Lu brought the doctors in.

The doctors actually felt a little embarrassed because the prefect of Zhaozhou seemed to be a good person.

This inspection made it seem as if the magistrate of Zhaozhou was a bad person!

But Bai Niangzi is doing this for everyone's safety, so no one can say anything.

Xiao Benzi was a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only smile awkwardly and said to Bai Lu: "Haha, our White Lady is really very vigilant..."

"General, that's how it should be!"

The little notebook gave a thumbs up.

Bai Lu smiled and said to Xiao Benzi, "Just now I asked General Bai to go in not to check the situation inside the house, but to disinfect it."

As he spoke, Bai Qi came out from the first floor with a spray bottle in his hand. He didn't know where it came from, but the spray bottle was small and no one would notice it if he kept it on his body.

It turned out that he was going to use the liquor to disinfect. Everyone nodded and went in without thinking too much.

Bai Lu reached the top floor of the seventh floor, where there were only two rooms on the left and right.

Xiao Benzi smiled and handed Bai Lu a set of keys: "The room on the left is yours, and the one on the right... is currently occupied!"

Bai Lu nodded, and was shocked when she entered! She saw a naked man appear in front of her.

The man had eight abdominal muscles and slightly dark wheat-colored skin. He looked very capable, with a handsome face with sharp edges and full of hormones.

People in ancient times were shorter than modern people, but this muscular man with eight-pack abs was actually 1.9 meters tall! He was more than two heads taller than Bai Lu.

Bai Lu looked up at him and saw the muscular man with eight-pack abs said to Bai Lu very shyly: "An... no! White Lady~"

Bai Lu was speechless.

She was so stunned that the key fell to the ground.

She turned her head and looked at the small notebook next to her: "What's going on? Why is there a man in the room?"

What’s more, this man was not wearing any clothes. His thighs were covered with a piece of cloth, which made it vague and really eye-catching!

Bai Lu immediately said to the little notebook: "Change my room quickly!"

As a result, Xiao Benzi immediately closed the room and said excitedly, "Hey, White Lady, this is specially prepared for you by our masters."

Bai Lu: “…”

No wonder there was something wrong with the smile on Zhu Zhizhou's face just now. It turned out that this was what he was thinking.

Bai Lu looked up at the handsome man, sighed helplessly, and said to him, "I'll go to the next room, you stay in this room."

"what?!"

The handsome man was stunned, and immediately took Bai Lu's hand, lowered his head and whispered: "But... Lady Bai, the master specifically ordered me to serve you well..."

"If I don't serve you well, he will be angry..."

Bai Lu frowned and said to him, "Just tell me when you get back that I told you to leave. It's not that I don't like you, but I just didn't mean to do that."

Having said that, she left indifferently, looking very heartless.

Looking at Bai Lu's back, the handsome man stayed still for a long time and shed a tear of sadness.

Bai Lu took a bath in the next room. She put flower petals in the mahogany bathtub and felt fragrant all over after washing with the finest milk-scented lotion.

She was indeed tired, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but when I was drowsy... there seemed to be some movement outside.

Bai Lu was woken up.

She was half asleep when she heard a knock on the door.

"White Lady, are you there?"

It's the voice of the little notebook.

Bai Lu asked, "What's wrong?"

"Master asked us to bring you a midnight snack. He said you didn't like the previous meal and didn't feel full, so he asked us to bring you some more food."

That's so.

I don’t know how long I slept, but at this time, I was indeed a little hungry.

Bai Lu got up and changed her clothes. This was the gorgeous long dress prepared for her by the governor of Zhaozhou.

I also use Chinese medicine to make incense. The smell is very strange, with a faint bitterness. I like this smell very much. It is a very high-end fragrance.

The material used to make the gauze skirt is not simple either. It is the extremely precious Jiangnan soft smoke silk, which is usually presented as tribute to Your Majesty.

This year, the emperor exempted Zhaozhou from corvée and taxes, and told Zhaozhou that if there were women with extraordinary talents, they could be directly recommended to the palace to serve as female officials.

Let them vigorously supply talents, so they are exempted.

Coincidentally, this year is also the first year of the imperial examination for women.

Bai Lu nodded and said, "Come in!"

Xiao Benzi came in with a smile, followed by three handsome men.

"Look! This is the midnight snack for you."

"???"

"!!!"

Bai Lu was struck by lightning and fell silent.

"Is this... a culture unique to your Zhaozhou?"

Bai Lu looked at the three handsome men behind her. One of them had a face as cold as an iceberg, was handsome and extraordinary, and had the aura of a weak scholar.

The other one was actually a mixed-race, looking exotic, with curly golden hair and an extremely handsome face, like an angel.

There was a hint of affection in his eyes as he gave Bai Lu a wink.

The one on the right had a baby face and looked very young, even younger than her own age, at most 18 years old. As soon as he opened his mouth, he smiled and called out, "Sister Bai~"

Bai Lu was so frightened that she immediately jumped behind the screen and said speechlessly: "Hurry up and send these people out, I'm not interested in them!"

Hearing this, the three men looked disappointed.

They had heard that Bai Lu was as beautiful as a flower, even stunningly beautiful, and that she was also a great hero, so they were all willing to serve Bai Lu.

Xiao Benzi pondered for a while, then whispered to Bai Lu, "Lady Bai...if you don't like it, we can change it for you."

"Besides, why don't you like it? We wanted to ask!"

"Oh, by the way, none of them have ever touched a woman. They are very clean."

"?"

Bailu just feels noisy.

She rubbed her head and said to everyone, "I don't want to talk about those nonsense."

"Didn't I say it before? I came to Zhaozhou to cure the plague, not to enjoy myself."

"Don't bribe me with these things!"

"Ok."

Xiao Benzi nodded, then took the three people downstairs in disappointment. There seemed to be a burst of crying sounds coming from outside the door.

The three handsome men seemed unable to accept it, as Bai Lu simply didn't touch men.

Bai Lu was speechless. She didn't expect that Zhaozhou had such culture.

But it makes sense, there are many businessmen in Zhaozhou.

Bai Lu touched the goose bumps on her body and remained silent for a long time.

Before, she had suspected that something was wrong with the prefect of Zhaozhou, but now she discovered...something was indeed wrong.

But it’s not what I imagined, it’s different!

The last bit of doubt was dispelled and she lay down on the bed and continued to sleep.

Not long after, I felt a hot body crawling directly into my bed, with the chest pressed tightly against my back!

And the man directly hugged her slender waist.

Bai Lu's pupils shrank, and she immediately kicked him down: "Didn't I tell you before?"

"Stop sending me men!"

"It's so presumptuous!"

Her voice was angry.

But this time, the man didn't obey and actually clamped Bai Lu's hands! She was caught off guard for a moment.

She was very skilled in martial arts and reacted immediately, kicking the man aside.

The two started fighting in the house!

"Who are you?!"

"You are not the one sent by Lord Zhu!"

"Of course I'm not someone sent by Lord Zhu. I'm your husband."

Bai Lu listened to these words and inexplicably felt that his voice was somewhat familiar...but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had met him before.

She and the man exchanged punches and kicks.

Bai Lu's martial arts skills are difficult to match at the moment, and in fact, it is rare for the fight to be evenly matched.

However, this person is surprisingly strong!

Although his martial arts skills were not as good as his, he was not at a disadvantage.

Moreover, Bai Lu felt more and more drowsy... She felt something was wrong.

There was clearly some special smell on my clothes! It was causing me to lose my power bit by bit!

It's a drug!!

The amount was very small, and it was directly covered with bitter Chinese medicine, so I didn't even notice it at first.

It takes more than ten hours, or even a whole day, to wear this new dress to achieve this effect, and it also has to be paired with the spices in the house.

Especially since Bai Lu has been soaked in medicine all day and has drug resistance, it is even more difficult to detect.

Something is wrong, Zhaozhou...something is really wrong.

The plague in Zhaozhou... Bai Lu slowly opened her eyes, and suddenly her shoulder blades were hit in severe pain!

The man immediately caught Bai Lu and asked, "How is it? Did it hurt?"

His voice was gentle, but his actions were very cruel, tying Bai Lu's hands tightly.

"Do you still remember me?"

"Chen Yuan?"

"it's me."

"It's actually you?!"

Bai Lu was very surprised when she heard the voice.

The candles in the room were lit, and a familiar face appeared in front of Bai Lu.

He was much more handsome than before, with his hair curled, and he looked somewhat like an exotic aristocrat. His temperament was also much more noble than before.

I guess he lived well in a foreign country.

"You...you are colluding with the Turks?"

Bai Lu thought of it in an instant.

Chen Yuan smiled: "Bai Niangzi, you are really smart."

His smile was full of attachment, and his eyes were filled with deep affection. "I threw the pearl you gave me on the ground... I'm so sorry."

"But fortunately... today we meet again."

Seeing Bai Lu, Chen Yuan sighed: "Do you know how much I miss you?"

After saying that, he immediately kissed Bai Lu on the face.

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open!

Bai Qi kicked Chen Yuan to the ground and untied the rope on Bai Lu's hand.
