The eunuch was poisoned and died, and the clue was lost.
Emperor Xihe was furious and killed all the guards who escorted the eunuch that night.
The eunuch's death was a bigger slap in the face to Emperor Xihe than his assassination of a royal concubine.
According to the eunuch serving Emperor Xihe, the emperor was so angry these days that he couldn't even eat.
On a wonderful first month, a depressing and heavy atmosphere enveloped the palace.
After Liang Fei said this, Yan Fuguang only sneered and said nothing more, nor entered the palace.
He was either handling official business in the study room of Hemingyuan, or going to Jinqiyuan to visit the mother and son who were recuperating behind closed doors.
After Lu Qing woke up, she asked about the fate of the eunuch on New Year's Eve.
But as soon as she heard that the person was dead, she stopped asking further questions and kept the matter secretly in her heart. She didn't say much even in front of Yan Fuguang.
Many things don’t necessarily need to be understood. She was lucky to escape from the dagger. The emperor couldn't find out the mastermind behind it, so why should she get involved in that bottomless stagnant water again?
After lying in bed for a few days, she finally got out of bed. She put on her clothes and went outside to play with Brother Lan on the couch.
The little guy was lying on the couch in plump clothes, and when he got interested, he would show off his new skills to Lu Qing, and Lu Qing would cheer him up every time.
"Brother Lan can even stand up, it's so amazing!"
Mandong teased Brother Lan with a rattle, and did not forget to worry about Lu Qing: "Master, please wear thicker clothes. Although it is warm in the room, Dr. Jiang said that you can't catch the cold again while you are recovering from illness."
"Yes, I know." Lu Qing hugged Brother Lan and kissed her for a while, and Dr. Jiang happened to come to check her pulse.
"You're already well, but you'd better take good care of yourself." Dr. Jiang hesitated, "I'll write a new prescription for you. You can drink it after you recover. If you insist on it for a few months and exercise on weekdays, the effect will be very good. ,but……"
"But what?" Lu Qing asked with a smile, "Just tell me, we have known each other for such a long time, there is no need for this."
Dr. Jiang glanced at Lu Qing, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "But I can't get pregnant while taking the medicine."
Lu Qing didn't hear clearly and looked at her in confusion.
Dr. Jiang explained seriously: "In fact, childbirth is very harmful to a woman's body. The interval between two births should not be too short. If you take good care of your body during the period, you will be less likely to suffer a lot during the next pregnancy and childbirth. "
She would never say that to other women in the backyard. Firstly, she knew that many people would not believe her words or were unwilling to let go of any chance of pregnancy. Secondly, those people simply could not make her believe and say this out of bounds statement.
But Lu Qing showed great respect for her medical skills: "What you said makes sense, I listen to you."
She had experienced childbirth and knew how dangerous and painful the process was. Even if Dr. Jiang didn't say these words today, Lu Qing probably understood this in her heart.
Being healthy not only makes you suffer less, but is also better for your children.
Furthermore, since Lan Ge'er is still so young, if she gets pregnant too early, it won't be the safest choice for both mother and child.
Dr. Jiang quickly gave Lu Qing a new prescription, and ordered Ji Qin and Mandong decoction to be given to Lu Qing for three months.
"Don't be too obsessed with being slim and eat less on weekdays. Your health is important. Take a walk if you have nothing to do, and move your hands and feet..."
Dr. Jiang rarely met a patient as sensible and obedient as Lu Qing, and she wished she could explain all the precautions to her at once.
Lu Qing listened attentively from beginning to end, and asked her to help write down the parts that she couldn't remember. She was very serious.
Dr. Jiang was very sure of her attitude: "Pay attention to your body, and I have done a good job."
Lu Qing sighed and said seriously: "When you are living in this backyard, you can't fall down first before others take action, right?"
After hanging out in the backyard, she finally understood that not only must she have a good mind, but she must also have a good body and be able to withstand all the wind, fire, thunder and lightning before she can break out of it.
Dr. Jiang couldn't help but admire her at the same time.
**
A few days before the Lantern Festival.
Ning Huayue had been depressed for a while since she came back on New Year's Eve, and then she started planning to hold a family dinner on the Lantern Festival.
Early in the morning, Yihong Courtyard was filled with people who came to pay their respects.
Lu Qing sat next to Qu Donger, and the two were very close.
"It's almost the Lantern Festival. I don't know where this year's family banquet will be held." Qu Dong'er said in anticipation.
"Where it should be in previous years, it should be the same this year." Lu Qing said.
"Not necessarily. With the princess this year, it might be different."
Qu Donger seemed very interested in eating, and Lu Qing smiled and said nothing.
When Ning Huayue announced that the Lantern Festival family banquet would be held in Yihongyuan, Qu Donger raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Qing, feeling very unhappy.
"Sister is so smart and her guesses are so accurate." Lu Qing praised her obediently.
Qu Donger smiled so much that her little white teeth were exposed. She approached Lu Qing and whispered: "The banquet must be better than before. Sister, please go out early when you arrive. Let's go together. I know which dishes are the best!" "
The two of them were whispering below and were accidentally caught by Ning Huayue.
"What are Concubine Wei and Concubine Qu talking about? They are chatting so happily. Let everyone laugh together by saying it."
Qu Donger stood up immediately and flattered her sternly: "I am chatting with Concubine Wei. This year is different from the past. With the princess entering the house, the family banquet will definitely be fresher and richer than before."
Lu Qing nodded with great approval: "Yes, I am looking forward to it."
Ning Huayue: "..."
How shabby! How could there be two such embarrassing people in the palace?
The rest of the people were also amused, laughter rang out again and again, the dull atmosphere in the room was stirred, and the expressions on everyone's faces became more vivid.
Having lost face in Yihongyuan early in the morning, Lu Qing did not expect to be laughed at by Yan Fuguang when he returned to Jinqiyuan.
The dining room brought dinner over, a table full of hard dishes.
Cooked quails with flowers, fried mandarin duck tripe, fresh shrimps and clams, peony fillet, red dates and blood clam soup, abalone and bird's nest porridge, shredded chicken with silver sprouts...
Forget it, the key point is that Yan Fuguang looked over with a slightly sympathetic look.
"Your Majesty, this..."
If there are any more, the table in Jinjiyuan will not be able to be set. What are you doing?
"Sit down and eat." Yan Fuguang said concisely, "Try every dish."
Lu Qing sat down hesitantly, "...Did you hear something?"
Yan Fuguang did not deny it.
Lu Qing hurriedly explained: "I was joking with Concubine Qu, and when the concubine asked about it, I made an excuse..."
Could he be serious?
Yan Fuguang held his chopsticks gracefully: "Well, you should try it in the dining room in advance to see how it tastes."
He didn't think Lu Qing was embarrassed, but suddenly remembered that she was unable to attend the banquet on New Year's Eve, so he asked the dining room to prepare this table.
I can’t explain why I did this, I just thought it was a sudden impulse to be a good person.
