Lan Sheng looked at Wen Jiu's running figure, shook his head and sighed.

"It's a pity that these delicate flowers are destroyed by raindrops, and no one appreciates their fragility and beauty of destruction." Lan Sheng picked up a peeled lotus seed and threw it into his mouth.

"Lianlian, let's go back. Everyone has left and it's boring for us to stay here alone." Lan Sheng said to the little girl behind him.

The heavy rain was determined to suppress the heat.

After a crazy downpour, the rain stopped, the sun came out, and the sultry heat continued.

Qiao Shinian just felt a slight headache. She guessed that it might be because she had been hit by the rain for too long, so she felt a little dazed.

She wondered how much time had passed and whether Wen Jiu had come to see her.

She doubted whether the palace maids had told Wen Jiu that she had been taken away.

Qiao Shinian looked up, hoping to see a rainbow, but couldn't find one no matter how hard he looked.

"Could it be that Rainbow doesn't want to be seen by people in the palace?" Qiao Shinian murmured. She wanted to get up, but the guards in armor and carrying swords in the distance looked very fierce. Although the little eunuch had his head lowered, he was probably watching her closely to see if she made any small movements.

She pursed her lips and continued kneeling. She could still vaguely feel the existence of her thighs, as if there had always been only thighs and her calves did not exist.

She was a little worried, wondering if there would be something wrong with her legs.

This won’t do. She still has a long time to go before she goes on stage to perform, so nothing can go wrong with her legs.

If something went wrong, she should change her major.

As he was thinking, Qiao Shinian discovered that dark clouds were gathering above his head again, and the bright sunshine that had just appeared disappeared.

"Well, it's like this every day. There won't be a flood, right? If so, the Zhou Kingdom will be in real trouble." Qiao Shinian muttered. She seemed to yawn and she wanted to sleep for a while.

If only Wen Jiu could find her now, he could take her away, and she could go back, take a good shower, and have a good sleep.

With the arrival of slanting wind and drizzle, Qiao Shinian closed his eyes, waiting for the heavy rain that would come later.

She watched the rain for a long time and understood it a little bit. She thought that Zhou Kingdom would have a hard time this year.

This level of heavy rain can be considered a disaster in such an era. Without a good drainage system, the crops may really fail.

We should talk to Wen Jiu and ask him to buy more rice and stock up now to avoid further burdening their already tight wallets.

As the heavy rain hit his face, Qiao Shinian felt extremely upset.

Mu Qingchen saw a figure in the heavy rain from afar. In the gray environment, the figure was so conspicuous.

He walked up to Qiao Shinian holding an umbrella.

Qiao Shinian could not feel the beating of the rain. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw a figure beside her.

"I thought there was a bug in the world. I can hear the sound of rain but can't feel it." She smiled weakly at herself, then looked up at the person who was bending down to help her, and shook her head.

"Can I go back now?" She was afraid that her voice was too soft and the people around her couldn't hear her, so she spoke loudly.

Mu Qingchen picked Qiao Shinian up from the ground, his brows tightly furrowed, and he wanted to reach out for the handkerchief.

Qiao Shinian tightly grasped Mu Qingchen's hand as he helped her up. She felt as if she had put all her strength into these beautiful hands, which she felt was not right.

Turning her head, she fixed her gaze on Qingyu who was protecting Mu Qingchen from getting wet. She smiled shyly, "I'm sorry. I've been kneeling for too long and my legs are numb. Could you please help me up?"

After saying that, without waiting for Qingyu to react, she reached out and grabbed Qingyu's arm, and said to Mu Qingchen: "Don't use the handkerchief! Your whole body is wet, so don't waste your handkerchief." As she said that, she wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve.

Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian who almost leaned his whole body on Qingyu, frowning even more tightly. He wanted to say something, but seeing Qiao Shinian's embarrassed appearance, he finally said softly: "Let's go, I'll take you back."

"Okay, I'm saved. Thank you very much."

Qingyu was almost carrying Qiao Shinian as he walked. He looked at Mu Qingchen who was walking one step ahead and then at Qiao Shinian who was almost clinging to him. He felt that he might not live long. This was the person his master liked, so why was she clinging to him?

Shouldn't the master carry Miss Qiao back at this time?

"Oh my god, I've been in the rain for so long, I really hope I don't catch a cold." Qiao Shinian muttered, and then as if she remembered something, she raised her voice a little: "Your Highness, have you informed Wen Jiu that he found me? Don't let him run around in the rain and catch a cold."

Mu Qingchen stopped and watched Qiao Shinian walk forward stiffly. He nodded: "Someone has gone to look for him. Are you okay?"

Qiao Shinian also stopped, panting and nodding: "Fortunately, I won't faint and let you hug me, which will damage your image. Don't worry, I'm just a little dazed after being in the rain for too long. I've been kneeling for too long and my legs are numb. I'll recover after I take a break."

Mu Qingchen stretched out his hand: "Let me carry you back."

"No need! You are a wise king. Although you usually take me out to play, we still keep some distance between us." Qiao Shinian paused for a moment to take a deep breath and steady his voice. "Now in the palace, there are many people and eyes. You just pulled me up and it was already against the rules. If those two people tell others, your reputation of flirting with a palace maid will spread!"

"You are a wise king, a wise king who has no women around him. Pulling and tugging is too much. If you lower yourself to hold me in your arms and go out, it will be a big event. Your reputation will be ruined."

Seeing her talking with a smirk, Mu Qingchen looked at Qingyu and said in a low voice, "He doesn't care about his reputation anymore?"

"Ah? Although our ranks are different, we are essentially the same, both are servants. So at most you can say that you are kind and let your personal guards support me, which is considered as me marrying above my station.

Servants and servants, masters and masters are the correct match. If you carry a fainted noble lady to the doctor, people will only say that you are upright and kind. If you let your guards take her there, people will say that you don't know how to be gentle with women. "

Mu Qingchen reached out and pushed away the hair that was stuck to Qiao Shinian's face, with a hint of loneliness in his voice: "Is that so? Thank you so much, I never cared about it."

"Of course not. After all, we are half friends. I don't know if you think so, but I really don't want others to criticize you because of me." She smiled and gave Mu Qingchen a playful smile.

But this smile was too fragile, and Mu Qingchen felt that a slight poke would be enough to crush her to the ground.

"Do you regret it? If you had refused to go out with me, you wouldn't have suffered the misfortune today." Mu Qingchen walked side by side with her, holding an umbrella.

The sound of rain hitting the umbrella almost drowned out the sound of his words.

"I make my own will. I think you are a good person worth making friends with, so I am willing to go out with you. Thank you for taking me out to see things I have never seen before." Qiao Shinian almost used up all his strength to say these words in a normal tone.
