Chapter 10 Tips
Xia Qiaoru's bed was at the end, and everyone else was sleeping. No one noticed them entering the room.
Under the moonlight, Chu Liuzheng helped Xia Qiaoru sit down on the bed, and gently helped her take off her clothes.
The fabric was involved in the whiplash, and Xia Qiaoru gasped softly in pain.
"Be patient." Chu Liuzheng moved gently. When he took off his clothes and saw clearly the whip marks crisscrossing Xia Qiaoru's body that were still oozing blood, she couldn't help but have red eyes.
[In less than two hours, he was injured like this. 】
[The Department of Precaution and Punishment is really no place for humans! 】
"I'm fine." Xia Qiaoru smiled and comforted her good sister, "I'm lucky to be alive. These injuries will heal in a few days."
"How could it be as light as you said?" Chu Liuzheng glared at her, twisted the handkerchief in the hot water, leaned close and whispered, "Be patient, I will help you clean the wound first. Your Majesty gave it to me last time I still have a lot of medicine left, I’ll bring it with me and I’ll put it on you soon.”
"Keep what your Majesty gives you for your own use." Xia Qiaoru refused, "I have medicine here."
"The medicine is very effective and won't leave any scars after applying it."
Seeing that Xia Qiaoru still wanted to refuse, Chu Liuzheng glared at her: "If you leave scars all over your body, how can you marry your brother Zhijie when you leave the palace?"
Hearing the words "Brother Zhijie", a blush appeared on Xia Qiaoru's pale face, and then faded away.
She smiled: "If he dislikes me because of his scar, why should I marry him?"
Knowing that she was being harsh, Chu Liuzheng did not expose her. He carefully washed her and applied the medicine, and then wrapped her carefully in breathable gauze to prevent the ointment from getting on her clothes.
The coolness brought by the ointment relieved the pain a bit. Xia Qiaoru put on her clothes, put her arms around Chu Liuzheng's waist, and said softly: "Thank you."
"Why do you want to thank me?" Chu Liuzheng patted her head. "When I was working in the pharmacy, if you hadn't asked for medicine for me and taken good care of me, I would have had a high fever and died."

Xia Qiaoru muttered: "But I only saved you once, you saved me many times."
"How much priority should be given to saving lives?" Chu Liuzheng was helpless, "You are just too preoccupied. This is not conducive to recovery. You are not allowed to think about this anymore. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it." Xia Qiaoru kept the friendship in her heart and began to chase people away, "It's getting late. You have to be on duty in front of the emperor tomorrow. Go back and rest quickly."
"You go to sleep first." Chu Liuzheng picked up the hot water basin, "I will pour the water and leave."
"Okay." Xia Qiaoru was indeed mentally weak after being tortured, and she didn't force herself to do it.
She lay on her side on the bed to avoid pressing the wound, closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully in the light fragrance of medicine.

Back at Nongyun Garden, Chu Liuzheng pushed the door open and entered the house, only to find Cuiyun already asleep.
Perhaps because he was not used to being in a new place, Cuiyun woke up immediately when he heard the sound of the door opening. He was relieved when he saw that it was Chu Liuzheng, rubbed his eyes and muttered something, turned over and fell asleep again.
The hot water in Nongyunyuan is no better than that in the pharmacy. The hot water on the stove is gone.
Chu Liuzheng hurriedly washed himself with cold well water and went to bed shivering.
The result of not getting a good rest at night was that Chu Liuzheng, who was woken up by his biological clock, now had two black spots at his eyes.
Her skin was fair, and the dark circles under her eyes were more obvious than ordinary people. She looked as if someone had punched her eyes twice.
Chu Liuzheng ate breakfast almost as if he was sleepwalking. He dragged his steps to the tea room half asleep and almost bumped into Xiao Anzi who ran out.
Xiao Anzi is Zhou Yuande's new disciple. He is only fifteen years old and has a clever and clever character.
He was startled by Chu Liuzheng's appearance, "Oh, girl, what's wrong?"
"I didn't sleep well last night." Chu Liuzheng yawned sleepily and asked, "The party has not ended yet, what are you doing in a hurry?"
Xiao Anzi said: "A batch of ink has just been brought into the inner treasury. Master asked me to take a look. If there is good Hui ink, I will bring two pieces to Wenhua Hall." Chu Liuzheng nodded. Emperor Shunguang liked to use Hui ink. Of course Zhou Yuande, the caring eunuch in charge, had to do what he wanted.
"I will ask someone to bring two eggs to the girl in a while, and she will apply them on her eyes."
In fact, Chu Liuzheng had already applied it with eggs, but she couldn't blame other people's kindness.
She smiled and thanked her, and said: "I will have to praise you in front of Eunuch Zhou later. Why did he accept such a considerate and thoughtful apprentice? It makes me jealous just looking at him."
Xiao Anzi immediately smiled and said a few words of modesty, and without any extra time to chat, he said goodbye and left.
After boiling the mountain spring water, Chu Liuzheng rubbed his brows sleepily, sincerely hoping that the tyrant would not discuss matters with the courtiers today.
Unfortunately, things backfired. Emperor Shunguang not only announced the affairs of the courtiers, he also announced a lot.
"You have to be careful today to make sure you don't make a mistake." Zhou Yuande warned before leaving, his eyes falling on Cuiyun.
Cuiyun quickly assured: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will follow my sister's lead."
"It's quite a good thing. It's your blessing that Miss Liu Zheng is willing to give you some advice. It's easy to learn. Once you learn it, you'll be your own master."
Zhou Yuande shook off the fly whisk, held it in his other arm, and pointedly said: "Serve tea and serve tea. Don't think about what you shouldn't think about, and don't do what you shouldn't do."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Cuiyun's face was a little red, as if someone had revealed something in her mind.
She bowed to Zhou Yuande and said, "Thank you so much, father-in-law for your advice."
Seeing that she was still well-behaved, Zhou Yuande added another sentence: "Being able to work in front of the emperor is a blessing acquired in the past life. Only by cherishing blessings can you be long-term."
Cuiyun: "Yes."
After finishing the training, Zhou Yuande smiled at Chu Liuzheng: "Girl, please be busy first. Our family has to go and serve His Majesty."
Chu Liuzheng bowed and said, "Eunuch Zhou, walk slowly."
[Although Manager Zhou likes to be eccentric and watch others order food, who in the palace is not like that? He is somewhat kind-hearted, so I don’t need to say anything when he makes such a point. I hope Cuiyun can listen to it. 】
"Sister, did I fail to do something well and make Eunuch Zhou unhappy?" Cuiyun raised her head, her eyes were red, and she looked at Chu Liuzheng helplessly, looking very pitiful.
[Hey, this little girl is really good at acting. She just cries when she says it. Are you trying to gain sympathy from me? 】
[Do you expect me to enlighten you or scold Mr. Zhou? If I curse, I can guarantee with my head that within a moment, the curse will reach the ears of the rightful owner. 】
Chu Liuzheng secretly raised his eyebrows, adhering to the principle of seeing through without telling the truth, and leaving a thread in everything, and said warmly: "Eunuch Zhou also has good intentions. If you do your part well, no one can fault you."
Cuiyun nodded, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, but didn't really cry, and went to make tea obediently.
Chu Liuzheng sighed softly, raised his hand to knock on his confused brain, and applied some peppermint oil to both sides of his temples, trying to cheer up.
After a while.
"Cuiyun, are everything ready?"
"As my sister said, everything is ready."
Cuiyun was a little nervous and followed Chu Liuzheng step by step, holding a mahogany tray.
The atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall today is relatively harmonious. Xiao Jingfan is discussing the sale of salt and iron with the ministers.
The general direction has been finalized at the meeting, and now they are discussing the details.
