After leaving the palace, Liusu walked on the road in a daze, her steps extremely heavy, the sun was scorching the earth, but her face was as pale as paper.
He raised his head and blocked the strong light with his hands.
She murmured -
"Do you know? In the past, I heard people say that as long as one keeps looking at the brightest place, one can see the dawn of hope. Why, I find it so difficult now, so difficult..."
Suddenly, she stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"careful."
Zhuang Mo stepped forward to help her, but she pushed him away——
"Young Master, please go back first. I want to be alone for a while."
"Can you do it alone?" Zhuang Mo asked worriedly.
"..." Liusu nodded.
Zhuang Mo took back his hand and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you a little ahead."
"Um."
Zhuang Mo left first.
Liusu leaned against a tree nearby and looked back at the tall vermilion palace walls and the splendid palaces in the distance. Emperor Zhuyao was living there at the moment and she felt like she was about to collapse.
"What should I do? What should I do? Yao can't die, he can't die. What should I do if he dies? God, please help me and tell me what should I do..."
Boundless helplessness welled up in her heart, as if she were on an isolated island, lonely and wandering.
"Qiluo... what should mother do?..."
Liusu's body slowly slid down and she cried until she couldn't help herself.
Zhuang Mo stood not far in front, looking at her distressedly.

Next, for many days in a row, Zhuang Mo was not summoned to the palace again. He followed Mr. Zhuang to other places to discuss the medicinal materials business.
Liusu was inexplicably silent, studying the medical books Zhuang Mo gave her almost day and night. She had a strong belief that she would become a famous doctor for the rest of her life, and she would cure his illness. As long as he did not die, no matter how much suffering he had to endure,
She is willing to do both.
That day, she read until dawn, wrote many prescriptions, and then fell asleep on the table.
"Snapped……"
Suddenly, a basin of water fell from the sky and poured on Liusu's body.
"ah……"
Liusu woke up suddenly and jumped up subconsciously.
Her clothes and hair were all wet.
"Bang bang..." Zhuang Rou's personal maid Jin'er Yin'er threw the barrel on the ground and looked at her provocatively.
"You! What do you want to do?!"
Liusu quickly picked up the medical skills and the prescriptions she had written on the table. They were already wet with water, and she felt very distressed.
"Ugly!!" Zhuang Rou crossed her arms and walked out from behind the maid, looking condescendingly at Liusu, "You came to the Zhuang Mansion to be a maid, but I haven't seen you doing anything all day and hiding here reading. Do you think you are?
Queen."
"Second Miss, I have done what I need to do. I am not lazy."
Liusu held back his anger and said.
If Zhuang Rou was not Zhuang Mo's sister, Liusu really wanted to pick up the bucket and throw it at Zhuang Rou's head.
"You dared to talk back when I caught you being lazy?! Why don't you go to the kitchen to help? Do you want to starve me to death?"
Zhuang Rou came over and said aggressively.
Liusu said nothing, took the medical skill in his hand, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Wait a moment."
Zhuang Rou shouted.
Jin'er and Yin'er immediately obeyed the order and stretched out their hands to block Liusu's way.
"The book in your hand belongs to our family, hand it over!"
Zhuang Rou looked at the book in Liusu's hand, stretched out her hand and said.
Liusu put the book behind him and said, "The book was given by the eldest young master. He said that no one is allowed to touch these books unless he has his permission. Second Miss, please stop it in moderation, if it is not for the sake of the eldest young master."
Come on me...you know, I know kung fu, right? If I accidentally hit someone and break their hand or blind their eyes, I don't care, anyway, I am a helpless ugly monster, I will probably die."
She said, and made a gesture to attack.
Seeing this, Jin'er Yin'er immediately took two steps back in fright and looked at her timidly.
Zhuang Rou swallowed her saliva after listening to Liusu's words. That day, this ugly monster knocked down two such strong-looking maids in one fell swoop. He looked really powerful.
"Then... well, I won't snatch your books, and you don't have to go to the kitchen. You can just go to the woodshed and chop the firewood. I'll let you go today."
Zhuang Rou relaxed and said.
Liusu glanced at her, then turned and walked towards the woodshed.
"Come here..."
As soon as Liusu left, Zhuang Rou pulled Jin'er and Yin'er together and whispered something in their ears. The two maids smiled evilly and nodded.
Liusu placed the wet medical skills on the stone table, pressed them with two small stones, and placed them in the sun to dry.
He turned around and walked to the woodshed. The woodshed was full of firewood. Liusu bent down and picked up two wooden piles, intending to drag them out.
"boom!"
Suddenly a voice was heard.
She turned around suddenly and saw that the door of the woodshed was closed.
"Open the door! Open the door!!"
She threw away the firewood in her hand, ran over, and banged on the door, but she only heard a burst of laughter and the sound of chains locking the door.
"Ugly, haha, who asked you to let me get scolded by eldest brother? Now that eldest brother is not at home, no one will help you. You can just shut it in alone slowly. Jin'er Yin'er, let's go. No one is allowed to open the door. No one is allowed to open the door."
You are not allowed to bring her food."
Zhuang Rou's voice came from outside.
"Yes, Miss Second, I understand."
"Open the door! Open the door quickly!! Zhuang Rou, open the door quickly!!"
Liusu slapped the door hard, "Let me out! Let me out!!"
However, Zhuang Rou took the key and left happily with the maids.
"Humph! You ugly monster! There is no way to fight with this young lady."
"Open the door! Open the door! Let me out!!"
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone outside?"
Liusu was still banging on the door and shouting for help, but her voice was almost hoarse from shouting, and no one came to help.
