After the midwinter, it is now the rainy season again. The heavy rain in the palace has not stopped for several days. Shen Qingwan was very upset because of the heavy rain, and she was staring out the window in a daze. She heard from Fu Yuheng that there were also heavy rains in the south, and she wondered if she was okay now.
"Your Majesty, please close the window. It's too cold." Lianyun had just come back from outside and was feeling a little cold, so she wanted to close the window. Shen Qingwan has always been in poor health, so she must not let her catch a cold again.
"No, you go inside." Shen Qingwan shook her head and rejected Lianyun's kindness. She liked listening to the sound of rain, but she didn't expect it to last so long.
At first it was just a drizzle, and she often went out there and enjoyed it. But now the rain was getting heavier and there was no sign of it stopping, which made her a little worried.
Lianyun looked at Shen Qingwan and had no choice but to go into the room and take out a cloak to put on her. This rain was really annoying. It was inconvenient to do anything, and it was freezing, so she didn't like it very much.
"Your Majesty." Just as she turned around, she saw Fu Yuheng coming in and Lian Yun hurriedly saluted. It was raining so hard that she couldn't even hear the sound of someone coming in.
"Get up." Fu Yuheng said calmly, took the cloak from Lianyun's hand and quietly walked behind Shen Qingwan, but she didn't notice it at all until she put on the cloak.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Shen Qingwan, who saluted Fu Yuheng, was immediately helped up by him.
"No need to be so polite, but what are you thinking about, my dear, that makes you so absent-minded?" The only thing he was curious about was what she was thinking at the moment.
Shen Qingwan tightly grasped her cloak, not knowing whether she should speak or not. She had told herself that she would never get involved in any political affairs again. But now she couldn't help herself.
"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows and waited for her to speak. It was rare to see her so shy. "Just say it. I won't be angry." He urged her out of curiosity.
Shen Qingwan looked up at Fu Yuheng and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I have seen heavy rains in recent days, and I don't know what is happening in the south. Will there be a flood?" At this time last year, there was a large-scale flood in the south of the Yangtze River.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng was silent. He certainly remembered the weather in the south. It would always rain heavily before this time. Last year, Fu Huaiyu was sent to provide disaster relief. At that time, it was just to test him. He didn't expect that he actually had other intentions.
"Your Majesty..." Shen Qingwan spoke softly, fearing that Fu Yuheng would think too much. She knew him so well that she naturally knew what he was thinking.
The matter of Fu Huaiyu was still a knot in the hearts of the two people. Even the Queen Mother was angry about this matter, but they didn't know that Fu Yuheng, as the emperor, was the most tired one.
"My beloved concubine and I have the same idea." With a slight sigh to reassure Shen Qingwan, Fu Yuheng frowned and said, "I am also worried about this matter." However, the rainstorm was too sudden and no memorials were submitted, so he didn't know what was going on.
Seeing that Fu Yuheng was not angry, she felt relieved. "Then why doesn't Your Majesty send someone to inquire about it? If there is really something, Your Majesty can prepare as soon as possible." She still cares about the world.
Shen Qingwan would pay close attention to any event in the court. Unfortunately, she was just a girl and could not go to the court to help solve major issues in the world, so she could only blow "pillow wind" to Fu Yuheng.
"Okay, I understand. My beloved concubine, please go to bed early." Fu Yuheng nodded. He now felt that the situation in the south was urgent. The lack of report did not mean that nothing had happened.
Thinking of the disasters in the south a few years ago, Fu Yuheng felt chilled. They lived in the prosperous capital with fine clothes and delicious food, but the common people were starving and cold down there. This was not what he wanted as an emperor.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off." Knowing what he was going to do, she did not try to stop him but let him go. What else could be more important than the people now
After returning to the imperial study, Fu Yuheng kept pacing, not knowing what was happening in the south. After waiting for the rain to subside, Fu Yuheng quickly asked his secret guards to come in.
"Go to the south and see what the situation is there. Come back and tell me everything." After giving a few instructions to the guards, Fu Yuheng let them leave. These people were the ones he trusted the most.
"Go to Jiangnan and see how the dam that Fu Huaiyu built last time is doing." After leaving the first team, Fu Yuheng called another team. He really had to worry about everything.
Even if Shen Qingwan didn't remind him today, he still had such a plan. But she was the only one who said such things, and others only cared about their own or his health, and no one was willing to think about the people.
"Your Majesty, you have been sitting here for too long. You can't sit here any longer." Since Fu Yuheng left, Shen Qingwan has been sitting by the window without moving. She is extremely anxious now, and Lianyun can't bear it anymore.
Shen Qingwan stood up after hearing this. She knew that it was useless to be so anxious. "Go and get me some food." She was already feeling a little hungry, while Lianyun left happily.
She took all her favorite foods, but she only ate a few bites so as not to worry the two girls, Lianyun and Xiaoruo.
"Your Majesty." Lianyun felt distressed when she saw that she had no appetite, but she knew that she would not listen to her advice.
"Okay, I'm going to take a rest." Since nothing worked, she might as well go to sleep.
The flood in the south is inevitable, but I don't know how many people will suffer. Shen Qingwan felt uncomfortable no matter how she thought about it, and she felt uneasy when she slept at night.
Listening to the sound of Shen Qingwan turning over and over, Lianyun became more and more worried. However, she was not worried about Nan Fang, but about her own queen's health, hoping that she would not get sick.
Shen Qingwan was just too smart and knew everything, which made the servants even more worried. It was still like this now, which was really worrying.
"My queen, please go to sleep soon." Lianyun spoke softly to Shen Qingwan inside. She didn't leave until she heard the sound of even breathing inside.
Xiao Ruo, who was on duty in the second half of the night, also came in. Seeing Shen Qingwan sleeping soundly, she felt happy. She had never met a master who was so kind to her, who would think of her in everything, and was not mean at all.
But she couldn't help at all with Jiangnan's affairs now. She felt that it was really useless to stay with her and couldn't help but sigh.
Because of this, Xiao Ruo was particularly concerned about Shen Qingwan. He carefully closed the doors and windows, lit some calming incense for Shen Qingwan, and stayed in her room all night.
