Lu Tao put down the water glass, went to the inner room and took out the clothes, and put them on for Wen Qingzhu himself.
In the middle of the night, Wen Qingzhu stood in front of the window, watching the thunder on the edge of the field, one after another.
The bright light of lightning reflected Wen Qingzhu's sad face, and the cold wind caused goosebumps to rise on her neck.
It's late spring.
Wen Qingzhu looked outside the corridor and saw the rainwater flowing in straight lines from the eaves, and the sound of dripping could be heard in his ears.
What he saw in front of him made Wen Qingzhu frown.
A few days ago, several medical clinics in the capital suddenly provided mica grass at half the original price when the price of mica grass increased nearly 20 times, thus solving the urgent need of the plague in the capital.
Seeing that the people in the capital are getting sick less and less, the late spring cold and continuous heavy rain these past few days have made Wen Qingzhu's heart agitate.
Jiang Yue actually didn't come to summon her, but Jiang Dejia had been providing her with information.
Concubine Li Guifei and Jiang Yijia recovered from their illnesses, and then Jiang Yijia beat two young eunuchs to death.
In view of the reputation of Concubine Li and Prince Ning, no one dared to say anything.
However, Wanbi's illness never recovered, so Jiang Yue went over to see her unexpectedly.
As for Fu Lie, Wen Qingzhu had received the letter and Xin Zhong arrived at the battlefield, but someone recognized him and trouble ensued.
However, King Shou secretly took action, leaving those who wanted to stir up trouble to worry about themselves. Xin Zhong then led his troops to the battlefield to restore the dignity of the Xin family.
Wen Qingzhu knew that King Shou was willing to take action, and he was afraid that Fu Lie would let Xin Chang see Xin Zhong.
Although they were more than ten years apart, Xin Chang always remembered the prestige of the Xin family and Marshal Xin Chang.
Over in Youzhou, Wen Qingzhu can rest assured for the time being.
But what Jiang Dejia said made Wen Qingzhu a little difficult to handle.
Jiang Dejia gave her the tiger talisman and wanted her to speak in front of His Majesty and ask His Majesty to re-enable the people of the Wei family.
The Fu family values literature, while the Wei family values literature as well as military affairs. It is rare for them to please both civil and military officials.
It's a pity that the Wei family was in chaos first, which led to the Wei family's decline.
It was dawning, and Wen Qingzhu looked down at the cold tiger charm in his hand.
Jiang Yue gave the tiger talisman to Concubine Hui instead of the Wei family, which already explained the problem.
He will never use anyone from the Wei family again.
Originally, Wei Feng had a chance to revive the Wei family, but he was accidentally killed by a member of the Yue family.
I really have to lament that the Wei family's misfortune has reached its peak.
But whether things are going well or not, with Jiang Dejia and Wei Feng here, the Wei family will be able to return to glory in the future.
But Wen Qingzhu didn't understand one thing. Why did Jiang Dejia trust him so much, and why would Jiang Yue listen to her
The most important thing is why the Wei family wants a twelve-year-old boy named Wei Yu to join the Imperial Guard.
Over in the front hall, Mother Ye brought breakfast.
At a glance, he saw Wen Qingzhu standing in front of the window again, so he trotted over.
After entering the house, he quickly put down his things and scolded Lu Tao: "What did I tell you? Don't let the young lady stand in the wind and catch the cold. Don't you know the weather is bad these days?"
Lu Tao looked at Wen Qingzhu with an innocent face.
But before Wen Qingzhu could speak, Mother Ye said to her with a straight face: "Miss, too, if you don't think about the slave, you have to think about the young master and the late madam. Now in the capital, who is not afraid of getting sick..."
"I'm fine." Wen Qingzhu could only turn around and sit down in the house.
After breakfast, someone came over to spread the word that Mr. Su was here.
Wen Qingzhu laughed out loud, thinking that he had told Su Huo where she lived a few days ago, so Su Huo would come over if he had something to do.
When they arrived at the front hall, Su Huo was wearing an official uniform and was covered with rainwater.
"Master Su, did you just come back from handling a case?"
Su Huo nodded, took a brocade box from his subordinate, opened it and handed it to Wen Qingzhu: "Look at this, I found it in the suburbs of Beijing. Can you tell the difference between these medicinal residues?"
"Okay, let's sit down first and then talk."
Wen Qingzhu didn't have so many rules in his own home. He only wore plain clothes and his waist-length hair was pinned with only a mutton-fat white jade hairpin.
There are no outsiders around, and she doesn't pay attention to rules. She does whatever she wants.
But such Wen Qingzhu looks more and more cool and elegant, making it unforgettable.
After taking the brocade box, Wen Qingzhu asked Green Tao to wash his hands, then began to twist up the medicine residue, sniffing it bit by bit and asking.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu reported a list of medicine names.
Unexpectedly, Su Huo's expression suddenly changed: "You have Bletilla striata in this?"
"Yeah! Bletilla striata is mixed in. Although it's hard to identify, you shouldn't doubt my medical skills."
Wen Qingzhu said confidently, turned around and washed his hands again.
After asking his subordinates to put away the brocade box, Su Huo thanked her seriously and said, "Thank you Miss Wen. This medicine belongs to Concubine Cheng. After Concubine Cheng was cured of her plague symptoms a few days ago, she fell down as soon as she went out. It hasn't gotten better for a few days, but Doctor Fang's medicine is definitely fine. The eldest princess has been watching it for several days, but she didn't find anything abnormal, so she asked me to send it to you for a look."
"Someone wants to be a concubine." Wen Qingzhu stated his purpose of coming here.
"Yes, we have some clues now, but we only found some minor figures." Su Huo also looked very distressed.
Wen Qingzhu looked at Su Huo and laughed: "Actually, there are only a few people who don't want to become the concubine and return to the palace, but there is no evidence."
Su Huo didn't say anything and was about to leave, but Wen Qingzhu stood up and said, "Master Su must have been working on a case all night, why don't you stay for a meal?"
"No need." Su Huo refused and turned to leave.
It happened that his subordinate's stomach growled inappropriately.
Su Huo's footsteps stagnated, and Wen Qingzhu covered his lips and chuckled: "Master Su, it's okay if you don't want to eat, but you should wait until the people who follow you are full, otherwise you won't have the strength to work."
No longer caring about Su Huo, Wen Qingzhu turned around and ordered Jasmine: "Go to the kitchen and give instructions to prepare a few plates of light side dishes and some porridge and steamed buns."
"Yes." Jasmine smiled and turned away.
Seeing that Su Huo still had his back turned to her, Wen Qingzhu pointed to the flower hall next door and said with a smile, "Master Su, please come here."
The subordinate standing behind Su Huo said with great discernment: "Sir, you can just deal with the young one casually here. You haven't eaten all day and night, so you should go over and have a good meal."
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and went to the flower hall. Su Huo glanced sideways slightly and happened to see her elegant back.
After hesitating for a moment, he followed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, side dishes, porridge, etc. were served.
Wen Qingzhu personally served him a bowl: "Master Su has worked so hard to serve the people and His Majesty that he can't even eat well. This is not acceptable."
Su Huo looked at Wen Qingzhu strangely and saw a bowl of vegetable porridge being handed to him.
He was indeed hungry, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Wen Qingzhu just looked at him. The Su family was once a wealthy family in the capital.
It's a pity that all of them collapsed within the year of the palace coup, leaving only Suho as a solitary seedling.
No matter in the previous life or this life, Su Huo was one of the few people Jiang Yue treated sincerely.
Jiang Yue asked someone from the palace to take care of Su Huo personally, and his etiquette and manners were not at all inferior to those of a prince or princess.
Even better than they did.
Su Huo put down his chopsticks and looked up at Wen Qingzhu: "Tell me, do you need help?"
"Oh." Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly, "Why do Master Su think so."
"Then if nothing happens, I'll leave first." Su Huo made a show of getting up.
Wen Qingzhu quickly took his arm: "Wait!"
Su Huo frowned slightly, he didn't like others touching him.
Wen Qingzhu quickly took it back and said with a smile: "It's really something. If nothing else, Mr. Su has been helping to transport the news from the canal recently, right?"
"What exactly do you want to do? The King of Chu is responsible for that matter. If you go and ask in person, he must be happy to answer you." Su Huo squinted and couldn't see clearly Wen Qingzhu's true purpose.
Wen Qingzhu straightened his expression and handed Su Huo another glass of warm water: "Now that there is a danger of a plague breaking out in the capital at any time, the canal matter should actually be slowed down. But as far as I know, the King of Chu seems to be planning to speed up the progress."
"It really should be slowed down, but the King of Chu presented a new plan. His Majesty was very satisfied and sent more manpower and money to him. I heard that he planned to complete a section before the rainy season in summer."
Wen Qingzhu frowned, the canal was by no means that easy.
Jiang Yuancheng still wants to speed up the project, but he is afraid that when spring comes, the amount of rain this year will be greater than in previous years, and the progress of the project will not be accelerated.
Once something happens, it's a big deal.
"Didn't the Qintian Prison tell His Majesty about this year's celestial phenomena?" Wen Qingzhu poured himself a glass of water, holding it in his hand but not drinking it.
Su Huo noticed something strange in her words: "Do you think the rain will be heavy this year?"
"Well, I've been observing this for a while. This spring, there will be heavy rain in the north. It's best not to dig canals, but to build embankments."
Su Huo was silent for a long time and then said: "I have discussed this matter with His Majesty. Qin Tian Jian was not sure of his decision that day and said that it might rain heavily as usual."
"Ha." Wen Qingzhu chuckled. It seemed that Jiang Yuancheng's people were also inserted into Qintian Prison.
Sure enough, she still underestimated Jiang Yuancheng's expansion speed.
"Do you suspect that King Chu has interfered in the affairs of Qintian Prison?" Su Huo saw what she meant at a glance.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Otherwise, I really can't imagine that the Qintian Supervisory Committee couldn't see such obvious weather?"
"You can also observe celestial phenomena?" Su Huo noticed something else.
Wen Qingzhu stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the drizzle in the yard: "If it's just a light rain like this, and it rains for three days and is sunny for three days, then that's it. But if it rains for three days and is sunny for one day, that's a big problem."
Talking about the weather, Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at Su Huo seriously: "You are a good official. I know that the emperor has given you great power. If you don't believe it, you can use the method of the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate a Qintian prisoner." I'm sure he will tell you."
That afternoon, Lu Tao, who was about to go out, turned back in a panic.
Wen Qingzhu is reading a book in the study, a geography-related book.
Seeing Lu Tao almost fall to the ground when he entered the room, she quickly closed the book and walked over: "What's wrong?"
Lu Tao stammered: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu heard a sound outside the door.
Looking up, Jiang Yue was sitting and standing in Soho, and on his right stood Eunuch Fang, dressed in regular clothes, enjoying the scenery of the courtyard comfortably.
"Yes, yes, this courtyard is very nice. It is even more exquisite than my palace."
Wen Qingzhu hurried over and saluted Jiang Yue: "See your Majesty."
"Get up." Jiang Yue looked in a good mood and raised his hand.
Wen Qingzhu stepped aside, and Jiang Yue began to look at the yard.
"When I came in, I saw the sign of Falling Flowers Pavilion hanging at the door of the courtyard. When I came in and took a look, the scenery was indeed pleasant. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, there were colorful fallen leaves."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. My daughter has not changed any of the layout. Every plant and tree here is left by the previous owner." Wen Qingzhu did not dare to accept this exquisiteness.
Jiang Yue concentrated: "You said it was arranged by the previous master? Are there any such spiritual people here in the capital?"
"He is a scholar. I heard that he worked as an official for a while. Later, after his wife passed away, he left. When he heard that he would not come back, he sold the house." Wen Qingzhu explained truthfully.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yue's expression dimmed: "The person you mentioned reminds me of someone."
