No one was making any noise in her ears, and Lu Qing's ears were finally clear.
She looked at Qu Donger and Guo Shulan, who also breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted them with a smile: "Take a break and eat some pastries before continuing. There is a lot of work, and you can't finish it in a while."
Qu Donger had no objection, and Guo Shulan embarrassedly sat down next to her, her every move very restrained.
After Ji Qin served Guo Shulan tea, Lu Qing asked her, "It's been almost a year since you came to the palace, right? Are you still used to everything?"
Guo Shulan was biting the cake, her mouth still bulging. She wanted to swallow it before talking, but because she was a little anxious, she choked.
"Ahem..."
"Give her water quickly!"
Ji Qin was reminded by Lu Qing and quickly handed the water to Guo Shulan's mouth and patted her back.
After coughing hard for a long time and drinking water, Guo Shulan finally recovered.
Her face turned redder, and she was a little more shy than before: "Much better, thank you Concubine Wei."
Lu Qing smiled gently: "Be careful."
"I have adapted very well to everything in the house, and I would like to thank Concubine Wei for taking care of her." Guo Shulan spoke in a low voice, but her tone was sincere.
She was not deducted from any food and clothing expenses in the house, and Lu Qing was in charge of these things, so Guo Shulan believed from the bottom of her heart that Lu Qing was a good person, and he did not look down on her because she was not pampered and gave her small shoes.
Lu Qing deserved it. She did not show any special care to Guo Shulan. Everything she did was within her scope.
"You don't have to be polite, I just did what I should do."
Guo Shulan pursed her lips and smiled. She glanced at Lu Qing secretly several times and decided that Lu Qing was an out-and-out good person.
After chatting for a while, just as Luqing and others were about to continue handling the account books, Mandong learned the news about Qiao Siyu falling into the water from other maids.
"Master, Concubine Qiao just fell into the water. A servant passing by found her and rescued her."
Lu Qing paused while flipping the abacus: "I'll go take a look."
Qu Donger and Guo Shulan also stood up: "We will go too."
Qinfang Hospital, all the government doctors gathered here.
Feishuang, Qiao Siyu's maid, knelt beside the bed, crying and saying, "Please save Concubine Qiao! I beg you, my slave!"
Qiao Siyu drowned. If a servant hadn't noticed it and rescued her, her life or death would have been uncertain today.
While the doctor was checking the pulse, Lu Qing asked Feishuang: "You're so good, why did you fall into the pond?"
Feishuang choked and tears filled her eyes again: "Slave, I didn't see you, Concubine Qiao asked me to go to Yihongyuan to find the Crown Princess..."
After coming out of Jinxi Courtyard holding back her anger, Qiao Siyu asked Feishuang to go to Yihong Courtyard to complain to Ning Huayue, so the master and servant separated.
"When I went to see Concubine Qiao later, my servants had already rescued her."
In this case, only she knows how Qiao Siyu fell into the pond.
Ning Huayue and Chen Qingzi were both still ill, so Lu Qing stayed here to take charge.
Because Qiao Siyu could not float, she was choked severely after falling. In addition, there were not many servants in the garden at that time. When she was found, she struggled so weakly that she almost died.
So in general, Qiao Siyu walked a circle before the gate of hell, and the situation was not good.
After the decoction was poured down, Grandma Wang came over.
She said: "Concubine Wei, the Crown Princess is very nervous about Concubine Qiao's condition, and specially sent an old slave to ask you to go to Yihongyuan to talk about Concubine Qiao's condition."
Lu Qing also followed her.
Before she spoke, she roughly guessed what Ning Huayue would say.
Sure enough, as she expected, Ning Huayue insisted on throwing dirty water on Qiao Siyu.
"Concubine Qiao has a bit of a hot temper. Concubine Wei doesn't know it. It's better now. She got angry at you and fell into the pond."
Lu Qing asked calmly: "Is there any connection between the two?"
Ning Huayue frowned and looked at her, with an expression that seemed to be saying: Don't you know what you did? It was you who caused her to fall!
"You don't understand what I'm saying?" Lu Qing adjusted her sitting posture slightly and straightened her back. "I mean, what does Concubine Qiao's rude words and domineering personality have to do with her falling into the pond?"
Ning Huayue covered her chest and coughed twice, defending Qiao Siyu's injustice: "Feishuang came to me and told me that you drove Concubine Qiao away in front of other people, and she would be so angry that she ran to the pond to vent her anger. In the end, Fell into the pond!”
"What Feishuang said? According to you, Feishuang knew in advance that Concubine Qiao would fall?"
"Don't be so messy!" Ning Huayue pointed at Lu Qing.
The smell of gunpowder suddenly spread in the room. Lu Qing waved her hand away and said with a cold face: "Who is causing trouble? The Crown Princess called me here. Is she concerned about Concubine Qiao's situation, or is she eager to accuse me?"
"Isn't it interesting that you target me again and again?"
Grandma Wang heard the movement inside at the door, and hurriedly walked in with small steps. She first squeezed Lu Qing out of the way to comfort the agitated Ning Huayue, and then said to Lu Qing: "The Crown Princess is not in good health, Concubine Wei, don't be like this." , if something happens to the Crown Princess, you cannot bear the responsibility."
Lu Qing raised a corner of his lips: "I can't bear this responsibility, so I have to bear all the charges? The Crown Princess is really noble, but don't treat me like a soft persimmon!"
"Why I kicked Concubine Qiao out of Jin Cuiyuan, everyone in Jin Cui Yuan, as well as Concubine Qu and Concubine Guo, all know. The Crown Princess can go and investigate on her own, and I will not accompany you, so as not to cause trouble for Concubine Qiao if something goes wrong along the way and she has to trouble me again."
Lu Qing waved his hands and left, not even going to Qinfang Courtyard, but returned directly to Jinqi Courtyard.
Ning Huayue was so angry that she slapped the quilt: "I am becoming more and more disobedient to discipline! It's all the prince's fault!"
Yan Fuguang knew nothing about Ning Huayue's complaints. He opened his eyes blankly and was blocked from the door by the servants of Jinxiyuan.
Soon, Ji Qin came to apologize in person: "Your Highness, Concubine Wei is not feeling well and doesn't want to see anyone. Please forgive me."
Yan Fuguang frowned: "Are you sick?"
Ji Qin shook her head: "Concubine Wei is not sick, she just feels uncomfortable."
Uncomfortable? Maybe it's menstruation.
Yan Fuguang didn't understand. He had never disliked this matter, so why did he have to avoid him this time?
"Please come back. I have gone back to take care of Concubine Wei."
"...Okay, take good care of it."
He returned to Hemingyuan alone, and suddenly remembered that this was not the day when Lu Qing was menstruating.
Fang Jinbao hesitated whether to tell him about Qiao Siyu falling into the water. Let's face it, this master doesn't care about anyone other than Concubine Wei at all. He will most likely say: I don't know how to treat diseases. If I fall into the water, I will go to the doctor.
But let's not talk about it. After all, she is the daughter of a fourth-grade official and cannot be completely ignored.
After struggling for a while, Fang Jinbao told Yan Fuguang about the matter.
But Yan Fuguang's mind was filled with things about Lu Qing's menstrual period being messed up.
"Falled into the water? The water temperature is not low at this time of year. Let the doctor go and take a look. It's time to drink medicine and rest."
"The servant who came to report said that Concubine Qiao had been drowning for a long time and now her fever persists."
"Get her a doctor."
Fang Jinbao had nothing to say. He didn't expect Yan Fuguang to take the initiative to go to Qinfang Courtyard.
