Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 55 Tossing
Qi Yilin looked at Qin Lu. He was checking Chang Yueqing. Qiu Yunfang and others were also in the room.
"How is it?" Seeing him getting up, Qi Yilin asked.
Qin Lu shook his head, "It's still nothing, he's just sleeping, and his brain is not damaged."
Qi Yilin sighed.
"However." Qin Lu paused and said, "I feel that her pulse this time is weaker than last time."
"What's the meaning?"
"There are some slight differences, but it does not affect her health. We still need to observe her again. Are there any signs of her this time?"
Qi Yilin thought for a moment, "I just feel a little sleepy. I just have a bad temper. I don't know if it's because we had a fight."
"Quarrel." Qin Lu smiled.
Qiu Yunfang asked: "Don't you have any good suggestions? Don't make Yi Lin anxious anymore."
"Yes, Brother Qin, please help Sister Yueqing. Brother Yi Lin hasn't had a good rest in two days."
Qin Lu looked at them and said: "It's useless to be anxious. How can we treat it if there is no disease? Now we can only observe and try to find out the abnormalities. There are many unexplained medical strange things in the world. At present, we only know that she must have something like this." The problem, the specific problem, needs to be studied. I think her illness is not good, and I can't live well. I will stay with you during this period, so that's all."
"Thank you." Qi Yilin said.
Qin Lu patted him.
Qiu Yunfang said: "Yi Lin, go and have a rest and let Duoduo and the others take turns taking care of you."
"Yes, Brother Yi Lin, go and rest quickly. Sister Duoduo and I will take care of Sister Yueqing."
"Okay, if she wakes up, she must tell me as soon as possible." With that, Qi Yilin left the room.
Qin Lu shook his head, "It really gives me a headache. Come on, let's go have a drink." After saying that, he put his arm on Qiu Yunfang's shoulder.

"Is aunt gone?" Yue Qing asked when she saw Qing'er coming back.
"Let's go, miss, I was so embarrassed when I left." Qing'er said with a smile. Xiu'er and the others also laughed.
Yue Qing said happily: "I don't like to learn rules anyway." She looked at Cai'er and said, "Sister Cai'er, you are so handsome today for protecting me like this."
"Cai'er should do it." Cai'er replied.
Yue Qing quickly asked: "But why do I feel that you don't seem to like her very much. Has she ever offended you?"
"That's not the case," Cai'er replied, and then stopped, not getting the answer Yue Qing wanted.
Yue Qing wondered if it was something she couldn't say. No, if you don’t tell me, I still have to think of someone to recruit. Well, just like that, another idea came to mind. Yue Qing reached out and felt in her clothes and took out the pendant she was wearing. "Sister Cai'er, did Huai Chiwei punish you yesterday?"
"Miss, not really."
"Really?" Yueqing didn't believe it. Qing'er said that Chang Huai was the highest-ranking among the guards, so it would be better to try it on them. But I feel that this person is also a rigid person. I wonder if the person named Chang Song is there.
"Don't I remember that there is another person named Chang Song? Is she here?"
"Matsu Chiwei is here too."
"Oh." Yueqing took out the pendant and twisted it on her finger. Seeing this, Cai'er hurriedly said: "Miss, you can't take this pendant out casually, you can easily lose it."
"Huh? Is this it? Is this important? I always feel uncomfortable on my neck. Can you take it off?"
"Miss, no."
"Why, Huai Chiwei?"
Cai'er looked at Xiu'er and the others, but said nothing.
"Let's do this, Sister Cai'er, go find them and tell them that I don't want to wear this all the time and let them think of a way."
"This." Cai'er hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is there no other way? Then I'll take it off and you can hold it for me." Yue Qing said as she was about to take it off.
"Okay, miss, wait a moment, I'll go ask." Cai'er left after saying that.
Yueqing happily said to Qing'er and the others: "Sister Cai'er has to wait for a while. Sister Qing'er, let's go play."
Qing'er said: "Okay, miss, what do you want to play?"
Yue Qing said: "I think the lotus flowers in that pond are blooming beautifully. Please help me pick a few. I want to use its petals as a boat."
Qing'er said: "Okay, miss, please wait, I will go get it for you right now."
"I want the one over there, the one with the prettiest color. And there are a few over there." Yue Qing said while standing by the pool and pointing to a few flowers in the distance.
Qing'er left, Yueqing hurriedly called Xiu'er and the others to prepare a basin, a villain and so on. As soon as the maid was sent away. Only Xiu'er is left, and this little girl is still relatively eloquent.
Yueqing asked Xiuer to help her pick up stones, and then chatted casually with her.
"Xiu'er, how old were you when you came in?"
"Princess, this slave was sold when she was 10 years old. She was bought by the palace last year."
"Oh, you're so young, and I'm not big either. Do you think I'm willful? Oh, don't call yourself slave or slave anymore. I'll have to talk to them later."
"How could it be so? Your status, Princess, cannot be compared with ours. Then what do the slaves call themselves?"
"Just me. What about your parents? They are your parents."
"Oh, before I came to the palace, there was a famine and it was gone."
Yue Qing sighed in her heart, it seems that the economic level here is not very good, and the emperor probably is not very good either. No wonder Cai'er and the others wouldn't let her go out, and it probably wasn't entirely because she was a boudoir girl. Why.
"Then who else is in your family?" Yue Qing asked.
"There is also a younger brother. After the slave was sold, he was also sold the next year. When my mother came to see me, she said that he is now in another master's house."
"Your parents are so cruel."
"Princess, if it weren't for my parents being cruel, we wouldn't be able to survive if they didn't sell us."
"God, are there many people like this out there?"
"It's better under the emperor's feet. There are fewer refugees, but beggars can still be seen everywhere. Our palace is not in the center of Kyoto, and there are many people begging outside. Our palace often provides food and porridge to the refugees. Those refugees know whether they will starve here. often gather nearby.”
It seems that his father is a good man, "Where is Chaoting? Does Chaoting not care?"
"The management provides disaster relief every year, but not much food actually reaches the hands of the people."
"Where's the food? Someone has embezzled it?"
Xiu'er lowered her head and said, "I dare not say anything."
Yue Qing thought for a while: "Hey, it's a pity that I'm still young and can't understand what's going on here, so I can't help you. By the way, Xiu'er, do you want to reunite with your brother?"
Xiu'er looked at Yue Qing and said, "Of course I did."
"When I can leave the house, I will find a way to reunite you."
"Really? Princess, I thanked the princess." Xiu'er quickly kowtowed to her. Yueqing quickly asked her to get up, guessing that Qing'er and the others should be back, she quickly said: "Okay, Xiu'er, I don't understand anything yet. Let's make a deal first. I can save you, but you must be loyal to me." , I have some things that I need you to do, and I can’t tell Qing’er and the others. Do you understand?”
"Princess, why can't you tell them?"
"You don't have to ask anymore. In front of them from now on, you can act as usual. When they are not around, I will explain it to you. I came to you because I saw you were smart. Don't let me down."
"Yes, Princess, I will definitely take care of it."
"In the future, we have to find ways to create more opportunities to be alone, and help me check the backgrounds of the other three people. Then tell me when no one is around, or tell me bit by bit when chatting with me naturally."
"This slave knows."
"Okay, I'll mention it to you later, I can't be a slave to a slave anymore."
Qing'er was picking lotus flowers. From a distance, he saw Xiu'er and the young lady who didn't know what they were talking about. Xiu'er was still kowtowing, and Qing'er was confused. I quickly picked the flowers and hurried back.
After landing smoothly, Yue Qing looked at her: "Sister Qing'er, you can fly too, you're so awesome."
"Miss, most of the guards in our villa must know some light kung fu."
"Oh, can you escape if you can't defeat me?"
"Miss, what are you talking about? If you are in danger, Sister Cai'er and I will fight to the death to protect you."
"Okay, okay, I understand, I see you are anxious. Let me see, have you picked the flowers again?"
"I picked it back. Miss, look, are these?"
"Wow, it's so beautiful, that's it." Yue Qing said as she took one.
Qing'er put other flowers on the table, "Miss, what were you talking about just now? Did Xiu'er make a mistake? Why is she kowtowing?"
"We were chatting. It turns out that Xiu'er has a younger brother. Qing'er, do you know?"
"Brother? I don't know."
"Her brother was also sold. I want them to be reunited. When I told Xiu'er just now, she thanked her. Qing'er, is there anything you can do?"
"Qing'er doesn't know about this either, but you can ask Madam, I wonder where it was sold? Can you buy it back?"
"That's all we can do now."
The maids came back one after another. Yue Qing directed them to fetch water and put it in the basin, then put the lotus flowers into the basin and put beads on them. Then she played in the water and looked at these beautiful petals. Yue Qing smiled happily and said after a while: "Hey, it's a pity that the water won't flow. Let's dig a curved ditch and lay something underneath. How about letting water flow on one side?”
Maid girls, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know why.
"Oh, let's dig a trench first."
"Hey, Princess, how can you do such a thing? Why don't you let the craftsmen build such a pool?"
"But I want to play now, come on, let's dig quickly."
Qing'er stopped her: "Miss, be careful if you hurt your hand, at least find a small shovel or something like that."
Yue Qing rolled her eyes and pulled out the jade hairpin on her head, "This is good, use this."
Xiu'er hurriedly came up to grab it, "Oh, Princess, this won't work either. Stop it now."
While everyone was chatting, Cai'er came back. Seeing everyone like this, I wonder what they are doing? "Qing'er, what are you doing?"
Yue Qing raised her head and saw that it was her, thinking that she would spend her money to find Chang Huai and the others. She stopped digging and Xiuer quickly took the jade hairpin and inserted it into her head again.
"Sister Cai'er, Miss Cai'er insists on using this jade hairpin to dig trenches in the ground. There's nothing we can do about it."
Yue Qing felt that Cai'er's eyelids were shaking. Asked her: "Sister Cai'er, what are Chang Huai and the others talking about? Can this pendant be taken off?"
Cai'er was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh, miss, Huai Chiwei said it can't be taken off."
"What? Humph, I'm going to find my mother."
