The Second Life of Hu Liena
44. Soap spice.

Luqiu was terrified as soon as Hu Liena said such a thing, from her mouth.

"Hamba don't dare, Miss!" Luqiu panicked.

Hu Liena was also just teasing Luqiu alone, therefore, she did not want to prolong this affair.

"Alright, I won't put into your heart that word either." Hu Liena replied calmly.

It didn't matter to Hu Liena if Luqiu did suspect him, being discovered or not by Luqiu of his identity, there was no harm at all according to Hu Liena. After all, Luqiu would remain loyal and would continue to be by his side, without or knowing his true identity.

"Thank you, for the generosity of Miss." Said Luqiu with a feeling of relief.

"Ahh, stop! You better rest there, tomorrow we'll be busy shopping to go to the Palace banquet." Hu Liena's orders were greeted with excitement from Luqiu.

"Well Miss, I'll leave now so that tomorrow I can strongly accompany you around the market." Luqiu said excitedly.

Hu Liena simply chuckled at Luqiu who was who she was. He was pleased with Luqiu's outspoken attitude, but still respected her

Ish, this girl, could look so happy. Though I only invited him to shop, but his reaction was so excessive like that. He-he ... Fuck up! inner Hu Liena.

Seeing this kind of Luqiu, Hu Liena was happy. Hu Liena promised in her heart, not to let anything bad happen to her loyal servant.

The next day....

"Miss, I'm bringing you some spice soap to take a bath now." Luqiu said as she flicked the curtain of Hu Liena's bed.

So surprised he, when he saw the bed had been empty at the abandon of its owner.

"Miss! where are you?" Shouted Luqiu who became panicked instantly.

He ran around looking for Hu Liena in every corner of the room, and also under the bed. Hu Liena was afraid that she would fall down when she fell asleep last night. But unfortunately, Luqiu found nothing.

"Shh, Luqiu! why are you yelling like that." Hu Liena said as she walked into her room.

Hearing the master's voice from the direction of the door, Luqiu immediately turned her body.

"Miss! thank goodness!" Luqiu felt relieved when she saw Hu Liena was fine.

Hu Liena was just being passive in response to Luqiu's such attitude.

"What's wrong? Why come so early in the morning blind?" Hu Liena asked Luqiu.

Luqiu walked up to Hu Liena and answered her words. "Hamba came to bring this!"

"What's that?" Hu Liena's forehead wrinkled as she smelled the scent of the thing carried by Luqiu.

Luqiu thrust the small bottle she was carrying, to Hu Liena. "This is Miss' spice soap, it suits you."

"Soap spices? For me?" Hu Liena's forehead grew increasingly wrinkled as the bottle got closer to her.

The smell that came out from inside the bottle was not very pleasant.

"Yes Miss, this can smooth the skin and increase your endurance." Luqiu said proudly.

Hu Liena immediately refused, and distanced herself from Luqiu.

"No, I don't want to!" Reject Hu Liena firmly.

Luqiu did not give up, she continued to say all the privileges of the soap she was carrying.

"Miss, this soap has been made since the days of our ancestors. It'll be good for your skin and your body." Luqiu.

Without having to research it first, Hu Liena could immediately know what ingredients were used to make the spice soap.

Perhaps everyone, would not realize there was another smell - other than the spices in his soap.

But for Hu Liena, she could tell just by smelling her scent alone in the air.

In addition to the heavy smell of some herbs, there was another smell that disturbed Hu Liena's smell.

In fact, this plant produces tubers that are very sweet and shaped like carrots.

In fact, people often plant this plant several times a year.

But besides being able to eat. The oil in the leaves, contains toxins that can damage the skin.

The effect may not be visible directly. But the affected skin, will remove pus-filled bumps.

"I still don't want to!" Hu Liena shook her head.

"Miss! At least, you try first." Luqiu said as she opened the bottle cap and wanted to smell the scent. However, Luqiu's actions were immediately stopped by Hu Liena.

"Don't!" Hu Liena's spontaneous shout shocked Luqiu and accidentally dropped the bottle she was holding.

KLANGG~

The small bottle fell down, and all of its contents splattered on the floor of the room.

"Miss! soap spilled! How'this? I was so shocked I accidentally spilled it." Luqiu said with a chest pat and then crouched down to pick up the dropped bottle.

"Stop!" Prevent Hu Liena.

Luqiu instantly stopped her outstretched hand movement towards the bottle. Then he turned his head, and directly asked Hu Liena.

"Why Miss? I just want to check it out, whether there's any leftovers or not." Luqiu said in confusion.

Instead of answering, Hu Liena turned the question upside down. "Where did you get this spice soap, Luqiu?"

"From the waiter who came here this morning, miss. He said, this spice soap was given by the Great Lord specifically for you." It was Luqiu's light that made Hu Liena furrow her brows.

He could sense the awkwardness with the arrival of the servant told by Luqiu.

The father could not possibly have any malicious intent to harm him, let alone in such a cruel way as mixing dangerous potions into the spice soap liquid for him.

"You sure? If that soap was sent by my father?" Hu Liena asked full of probes.

Luqiu nodded, then replied to her master. "The waiter said so, Miss."

Hu Liena was stunned, there was no point in him asking like that to Luqiu. This servant was too kind, and never put the slightest suspicion towards others.

That was why, Luqiu was often trapped and harassed by other servants, for their own sake.

Hu Liena racked her brain, the person who sent this dangerous spice soap should get the result of her actions.

Fortunately, his kisses have been trained with various types of dangerous plants in the world. Whether it was flavorful or not, to Hu Liena, it would mean nothing.

"You wear a cloth to take the bottle, don't let the soapy liquid get on your skin." Hu Liena's orders.

Luqiu nodded, and did as she was told. He took the bottle using a cloth as a skin protector.

Although Luqiu did not know the reason her master said so. But he was sure, if Hu Liena would not have said it all if it did not have a good reason.

"What do we do about this bottle, miss?" Luqiu asked as she glanced towards the bottle that was in her hand.

"For a while, you keep this bottle in a wooden box in the drawer. And one more thing, if later you meet the waiter who delivered this soap, earlier. Just tell him I wore it this morning." Hu Liena's light to Luqiu who was currently just a beard just listened to him.

"Well Miss, I will obey all your words." Reply Luqiu obediently to Hu Liena.

In the eastern pavilion where Yueqin lived...

"Hows it? Have you done everything, as ordered?" Yueqin asked the servant who was kneeling before her.

"Jawab Madam, I've done it." Reply to the servant, bowing his head.

Yueqin sneered cunningly, she was finally able to return her heartache to Hu liena.
