Yaoyueyuan.
Chunyu led Lu Qing outside Chen Qingzi's bedroom.
She said softly at the door: "Master, Concubine Wei is here to talk to you."
There was no movement inside, and Chunyu was so anxious that she almost shed tears.
Lu Qing patted Chunyu's shoulder gently and said to Chen Qingzi inside: "Sister, there is something I don't understand, and I want to ask you."
After waiting quietly for a while, Chen Qingzi's voice came from the room. It must be because he rarely spoke, and his voice was a bit hoarse: "Come in."
The door opened from the inside, and Lu Qing's eyes became wet as soon as he saw Chen Qingzi's appearance.
The person in front of her was completely different from the Chen Qingzi in her impression. She seemed to have lost all her color and withered completely.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Qing held her wrist, which was only covered with a layer of skin and the bones were obviously bulging.
Chen Qingzi lowered her eyelashes: "I got a little sick, I'm not up to expectations, and I haven't gotten better..."
"It's because you don't want to get better!" Big tears fell from Lu Qing's eyes. "The doctor said you have a heart disease. What's wrong with you? How can I help you?"
Chen Qingzi smiled helplessly, wiped away Lu Qing's tears, and teased her: "Why are you crying to me? Women's tears are precious. You should cry to His Highness."
Lu Qing ignored her: "If I had known you were like this earlier, even if you didn't let me enter the door of Yaoyueyuan, I would have barged in earlier."
What could cause a person to suddenly lose all vitality and feel a lifeless atmosphere lingering all over his body?
Chen Qingzi shed two huge tears without warning. Who would have thought that in the end, the person who cared about her and cared about her would be Lu Qing.
She was caught off guard and hugged Lu Qing. She couldn't say anything and kept crying. From the suppressed crying at the beginning to gradually letting go, Lu Qing was not impatient at all and patted her back gently throughout the process.
She cried until her eyes were red and swollen and she lost strength. Lu Qing fed her some water and said, "Is she feeling better?"
"Yes." Chen Qingzi was soft and obedient. She drank water as Lu Qing asked her to. Her eyes were always on Lu Qing and she didn't want to look away at all.
Lu Qing brushed away the messy hair from her cheeks and said in a very gentle tone: "When something happens, even if you don't want to tell others, you have to find a suitable way to vent it. If you hold it in for a long time, something will happen."
Chen Qingzi looked into Lu Qing's eyes and nodded: "I understand."
She didn't take the initiative to explain the reason. Lu Qing respected her wishes and didn't ask any questions. He talked to her about recent events and tried his best to divert her attention so that she wouldn't keep thinking about things that made her sad.
"The drought is severe this year. I don't know when it will rain. I heard that the emperor will offer sacrifices for two days to pray for rain..."
Chen Qingzi listened absentmindedly. She held Lu Qing's hands and tears fell again: "If the drought is serious, various expenses in the government should be reduced. Otherwise, it will become a big deal in the eyes of interested people. Don't give it to the prince." I will give you any opportunity to bully you..."
"There must be some ignorant people in the backyard. You just punish them, you don't have to give them a good face..."
She warned her carefully, fearing that she might not fulfill her duty of reminder.
Lu Qing sighed. If you are a good person, why bother putting yourself in such a state?
She wrote down what Chen Qingzi said one by one, and took the opportunity to stay in Yaoyueyuan for a long time.
It wasn't until Chen Qingzi looked very tired that Lu Qing stopped talking and helped her lie down on the bed: "Okay, that's it for today. I don't have a good memory. I may forget tomorrow. I'll trouble my sister again then."
Chen Qingzi smiled, knowing that what she said would not be unexpected by Lu Qing, let alone forgotten.
Lu Qing simply wanted to help her get better - this thought appeared in her mind, and Chen Qingzi suddenly felt that she had not lost everything.
**
It was late at night, and Yan Fuguang, who was alone in the empty room, looked at Lu Qing who had returned late, filled with resentment.
"I heard that you went to Yueyueyuan? Why did you come back so late?"
Lu Qing couldn't tell him that this was Chen Qingzi's privacy.
"I don't understand something. Go ask Sister Chen for help."
Yan Fuguang's intuition was that this was not the reason, and his brows furrowed unconsciously: "Isn't she sick?"
Why should I ask for advice when I am sick? There must be something fishy in it!
Lu Qing poured herself a cup of tea and drank it: "Yes, so I stopped by to see her."
Yan Fuguang looked suddenly enlightened but not too happy.
Lu Qing saw it. She held the tea cup and took the first step to take the moral high ground: "Sister Chen has been ill for so long and no one cares about her. I can't stand it."
Yan Fuguang choked and wanted to make excuses for her late return.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qing seemed to have predicted his thoughts, "Your Highness, do you think what I did was right?"
"……right."
He specially rushed back from the palace today, and he only saw Lu Qing now, and he had nothing to say.
However, could he, a grown man, really be jealous of a woman named Chen Qingzi?
"My servants have prepared water. Go take a bath and rest. It's getting late."
Lu Qing responded briskly, and before leaving, she said to Yan Fuguang with a smile: "I know that your highness is the most generous man in the world, and also the most responsible man!"
Joy flew to her brows, Yan Fuguang pinched the corner of the quilt, messed up the bed made by the maid, rearranged it herself, and then leaned against the bed and waited for Lu Qing to come back.
It was a hot day, so the two of them kept a little distance apart. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, so Lu Qing cheered up and talked to him.
"It's been so hot these days. Is it going to rain?"
"Maybe. If we continue, it will only cause more unrest."
Qin Tianjian has observed that Emperor Xihe is also preparing to offer sacrifices in these two days. Maybe the heavy rain is really coming soon.
God was willing, and with the expectation of countless people, it finally rained heavily five days later.
There was a rapid and loud sound of rain, and the raindrops falling from the sky fell on the roof, streaked along the tiled eaves, and fell to the ground in strings.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and they stopped what they were doing to watch the long-overdue heavy rain with great interest.
The heat was dissipated and the smell of dust emerged in the air. Langeer stood under the verandah and stretched out his hand to catch the rainwater.
He happily brought the rainwater to Lu Qing: "Mother! It's finally raining! Father and Grandpa don't have to worry anymore, the crops can drink enough water and continue to grow!"
Lu Qing was pleased that he could think of this and hugged him to her: "Yes, it finally rained. Your father and the others must have been worried a lot during this time."
Lan Geer nodded his head vigorously, then clasped his hands together and closed his eyes piously.
Lu Qing waited for him to finish muttering quietly before asking: "What is Brother Lan doing?"
"Thank God." Brother Lan looked very serious with a sullen face, and his eyes were full of awe.
Lu Qing thought he was cute like this, so she patted his head and praised, "Good boy, God will definitely hear your gratitude."
Brother Lan smiled sheepishly and continued to reach out to catch the rainwater.
