The dim back

Chapter 110 The crisis is coming

Zhang Yulu had no choice but to walk to the door. Seeing Liu Zhongqing, she could only stammer, "You should go back first. I'll go back to Yiren Villa now. I'll go back in a few days when I'm no longer angry."

Liu Zhongqing didn't understand: "Why did you do this? Is it because of Qiu Feng?"

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess followed behind and said, "What are you thinking about? We can't restrict her freedom because of this. Since Zhang Yulu wants to go back to her parents' home, we should let her go back."

Seeing his mother following behind him, Liu Zhongqing had no doubts: "Mother, the Queen Mother and Qiu Feng have been very close recently, can you think of a way?"

The princess pretended to be very kind: "Actually, Qiu Feng has his merits. The Queen Mother is a picky person. It's not easy to find someone to talk to. There's no need for me to stop her."

Liu Zhongqing felt a little strange and looked at Zhang Yulu in confusion: "How about I accompany you back to your parents' home? Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now."

Before Zhang Yulu could say anything, the eldest princess immediately said, "That won't do. Don't forget, the emperor still wants you to investigate the case of Xiangzhuang."

When Zhang Yulu heard about Xiangzhuang, an idea came to her mind: "My father once knew the owner of Xiangzhuang. I can't say anything about this matter, but I can help."

The princess had a little doubt after hearing this: "Don't brag here. This matter can be big or small. If I find out that you have deceived me, I will definitely settle the score with you."

Seeing the princess being so serious, Liu Zhongqing said, "Mother, what's going on? Don't you usually dislike fighting for fame and fortune? Why are you doing this?"

The princess had an idea: "Don't say anything you shouldn't say. I heard that Yujiabao is also involved this time. I really don't know how to solve it."

Faced with the state of worrying about the country and the people, Liu Zhongqing felt a little embarrassed: "If that's the case, then I'll go to Xiangzhuang first, but I want Zhang Yulu to accompany me."

After weighing the options, the princess nodded and agreed. She turned to Zhang Yulu and said, "It would be great if I could help the prince. It won't delay your return to your parents' home to handle your affairs."

Zhang Yulu certainly understood, and her heart was beating fast: "I think the most ruthless person is the eldest princess. It seems that she wants to fight with the queen mother. We are their pawns and sacrifices. These two people are really tit for tat."

Liu Zhongqing pulled Zhang Yulu and said, "I'm leaving soon. Let's go to Xiangzhuang and take a look. I heard that several people died there. I don't know what happened. The emperor attaches great importance to this case."

Zhang Yulu nodded: "This case is strange. Why would someone die under the incense? But there is no problem found in the incense."

This is the strange part. Liu Zhongqing also felt puzzled: "No one in the whole town can buy incense. If this case is not solved, all kinds of incense powder and spices will be stopped from production, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to people."

Zhang Yulu and Liu Zhongqing were talking as they walked out. The eldest princess looked at everything in front of her and said viciously, "This person is really weird. Liu Zhongqing doesn't hate Zhang Yulu very much, so why is he so dependent on her now? This is not a good thing."

The maidservant next to her began to give advice: "Why did the princess keep Zhang Yulu?"

The eldest princess had her own plan: "I think he has some skills. He can help me with some ideas on how to deal with the Queen Mother. Otherwise, why would I wait so quietly? I just want them to fight a little bit and see if I can get something to my advantage."

Hearing the princess say this, the maid remembered something: "If they knew that the boss behind Xiangzhuang is you, I wonder what they would think?"

The eldest princess was not afraid at all: "If my weak and incompetent brother had a few fans, the power would not have fallen into the hands of the queen mother. Don't worry about this matter. If it is found out, there will be someone to take the blame for me."

Liu Zhongqing and Zhang Yulu walked outside. Liu Zhongqing didn't notice Zhang Yulu's expression and kept talking to himself, "What are you thinking? Why did you talk to your mother like that? He is a soft-hearted person."

Zhang Yulu couldn't tell the truth, she was afraid! Liu Zhongqing thought he was trying to sow discord between them.

Zhang Yulu nodded to Liu Zhongqing: "There are some things I don't want to talk about, but that doesn't mean I don't know. You should observe the people around you."

Liu Zhongqing didn't understand the meaning behind his words: "Qiu Feng just wants to get along well with the Queen Mother and has an extra backer. You shouldn't be too picky with him."

As the two of them were talking, they came to Xiangzhuang, and Zhang Yulu suddenly saw the maid beside Qiufeng.

Zhang Yulu accused the maid and said, "Why is there Qiu Feng's maid? Could it be that this matter has something to do with them?"

Liu Zhongqing also felt strange: "So many things happened in Zhuangzi, and several lives were lost, how could it be related to Qiu Feng?"

Zhang Yulu felt that things were getting a little complicated: "Don't you think what you said is wrong? Anything could happen. Why do you become indecisive when it comes to Qiu Feng?"

Liu Zhongqing stopped talking and ran to the front alone, blocking the maid's way: "What on earth do you want to do here?"

The maid saw Liu Zhongqing and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My mistress asked me to get the incense. I heard that the incense here is very good. I want to take it to the Empress Dowager."

Zhang Yulu took the incense and observed it for a long time before saying, "That's not right. Look at all the incense. They're not good at all. How could such low-quality incense be brought to the Queen Mother?"

The maid said to Zhang Yulu respectfully: "Princess, you don't know, the side princess has done some research on xiang, and can make a good spice. This spice can calm the mind and spirit. The Queen Mother has been resting well recently."

Zhang Yulu had her own idea: "It seems that there is something wrong with these incense. What do you want to extract from them?"

Liu Zhongqing broke open all the incense and felt that they had become a little soft.

Liu Zhongqing said to Zhang Yulu: "Give me these incense sticks. I want to see how they can cause death."

The maid stood there, feeling troubled: "If I can't get the incense back today, the young lady might kill me. Please, Your Majesty, spare my life."

Zhang Yulu also felt that the matter was not simple: "Qiu Feng should not be so cruel, how could he do something so harmful to others?"

The maid kept shaking her head: "The Queen Mother has been very good to Miss recently, and Miss is trying to please the Queen Mother. If things can't be done today, the Queen Mother will be furious."

Zhang Yulu thought about the eldest princess in front of her and the empress dowager behind her, and she really felt overwhelmed.
