Chapter 175 The Madam is Gallant
They were the only two left in the main house.

Lu Qing was still thinking about how to spend the night.

Over the years, whether he was in Shanqing Temple or serving as the Golden-faced Censor of Emperor Jin, he had encountered all kinds of inconveniences when traveling, and there was nothing he could not overcome.

But Zhu Yu is different.

No matter how brave she is, even if she wears men's clothes, she is still a real girl.

I have been wearing oilskins and getting wet in the rain for the past two days. My whole body is damp all the time. I always need to change into dry clothes at night, otherwise I will get sick even if I am not injured.

Before, whether they stayed at an inn or a post station, they didn't worry about these things, but today Bai Qihong was able to vacate a main house for the five of them, which meant he had done his best and there was no way to ask for more.

I didn't expect that Yan Daoxin, who is usually so clumsy in doing things, would be so thoughtful this time. He went to the wing room to find a place to rest without saying a word.

He withdrew his gaze from the door and was about to tell Zhu Yu that he would step aside so that she could change her clothes. Before he could open his mouth, he saw Zhu Yu pointing at him and said, "Take off your clothes."

Lu Qing was stunned. Although he immediately realized that Zhu Yu was holding the porcelain bottle left by Yan Daoxin in his hand, and it was obvious that he was going to apply medicine to him, his heartbeat still inexplicably quickened.

"My lady, you are so generous and unpretentious, so I will respectfully obey you." He curled the corners of his mouth, slowly took off his outer robe, untied his belt slowly, and took off his inner garment as well.

Seeing that he was acting recklessly again, Zhu Yu rolled his eyes at him generously, dug out the ointment from the porcelain bottle, and carefully applied it to the wound on Lu Qing's left chest that had basically healed.

Although the medicine Yan Daoxin had helped to prepare was very effective, after taking it internally and applying it externally, the penetrating sword wound that might not have improved in a month or two was almost healed in just half a month. However, looking at the wound that was no longer red and swollen, and no longer bleeding, and had been wrapped in new granulation tissue, Zhu Yu's eyes quickly flashed with the bloody scene that night in the Lizhou camp.

When she thought about how close the wound was to Lu Qing's heart and lungs, and that if it had been even slightly off, he would have been a cold corpse by now, Zhu Yu felt a tightness in her chest, as if someone had tightened her bra again.

Zhu Yu's fingers gently rubbed around Lu Qing's wound. He felt the muscles tense where his fingertips were touching. He quickly stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Did I hurt your wound?"

Lu Qing slightly shifted his eyes: "The ointment is a little cold."

Since he was not hurt, Zhu Yu felt relieved and quickly applied the ointment to the wound on his chest. He then went behind Lu Qing and applied the ointment to the wound on his back.

Although her love life in her previous life was blank, she had met countless people, but they were all men, women, young and old, of all kinds, and none of them were still alive.

Originally, she thought that she had seen a lot of things and was no longer surprised by the similar bodies, so she was calm.

But when he was applying the ointment just now, the chest muscles touched by his fingers were as soft as cast copper and iron. The flickering light and shadow of the oil lamp beside him gave his skin a layer of warm amber light. His tight abdominal muscles were neatly arranged, like forged jade chain mail. On the side of the tightened waistline, one could vaguely see the old wound spreading from the back, like a dragon's tail.

Faced with all this, she felt awkward and could only pretend to be indifferent on the surface.

Turning to the back, Zhu Yu continued to apply ointment to the wound on his back as if nothing had happened.

Unlike the previous one, the wound on the back did not seem so horrifying when contrasted with the other old wounds.

Following Yan Daoxin's instructions, Zhu Yu used dry cloth strips to help Lu Qing wrap the two wounds that had been treated with medicine, to prevent them from being soaked through by moisture and causing other problems. After bandaging them, Zhu Yu checked to see if he had done a good job.

Looking at it this way, she saw that her chest was wrapped with several strips of cloth, covering what should be covered, but for some reason, it made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Lu Qing also stood up and put his undershirt back on, then turned and walked to the door, facing the door panel, and said to Zhu Yu, "You should change your wet clothes as well, and tell me when you're done.

We have to travel tomorrow, so we need to rest early tonight."

Zhu Yu hurriedly took his things and went inside, changing his clothes in a hurry.

She wasn't worried that Lu Qing would do something ungentlemanly, but the room was so small that it would still feel a bit cramped to undress.

If the two were a genuine couple, there would be nothing wrong with it. However, since they got married, Lu Qing joked with her but never behaved in an offensive manner, which made Zhu Yu feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhu Yu secretly wondered why Lu Qing had been so respectful to him since they got married.

She felt that perhaps what Lu Qing and Lu Chao were planning was really big, so she had no time to indulge in romantic feelings at the moment. She was even more afraid of creating weaknesses and adding troubles in the future, so she had no time to pay attention to these things.

To her, this was the most reasonable explanation.

It's just like in my previous life, I put all my energy into work and never thought about love at all, let alone finding someone to start a family.

After changing her clothes, she called Lu Qing back.

Although this house is not small for two people, there was a hole in the roof before, and Bai Qihong took people to do some simple repairs during the day.

Now most of the space in the house is soaked by the water that leaked in before, and only a piece of floor near the wall is dry.

Bai Qihong had previously considered that Lu Qing was, after all, a prince, the adopted son of the current emperor, and a delicate person. It was really hard to find bedding in this place, so he could only barely get some relatively dry straw and spread a thin layer on the ground. This was considered the best treatment he could get in the current harsh environment.

Lu Qing gathered the straw that was originally spread out on the ground, making it a little narrower and thicker, barely wide enough for a person to lie on his side, and motioned Zhu Yu to sleep on it.

"What about you?" Zhu Yu asked.

Lu Qing didn't answer, but lay down directly on the piece of ground next to the straw that was not wet, with his hands under the back of his head as a pillow. He didn't seem to mind lying on the cold and hard ground overnight. It was obvious that this was not the first time he faced such an environment.

Seeing this, Zhu Yu didn't bother to be polite with him and lay down on the dry straw with his back to Lu Qing.

In fact, lying on the dry straw did not feel comfortable. The straw was far from being soft, and it could feel a bit prickly through her clothes. This was more demanding than the accommodation conditions she had experienced in any of her previous missions.

But after a whole day, she was really tired. When she lay down, Zhu Yu was still thinking in her mind how she would be able to fall asleep. But after lying down for a while, she fell asleep in a daze.
