After finding out the cause of Wei Chirou's condition, prescribing the right medicine and staying away from the source of poison, she slowly got better and regained her full spirit and healthy posture.

After all, Wei Chirou is a quasi-princess appointed by the Holy Decree, and being poisoned is not a trivial matter, but also to give an explanation to the courtiers who question this matter, and there must be a clear result in this matter.

As for who is the culprit of the murder of Wei Chirou, in fact, everyone knows it well, and they all know that this incident is caused by the restlessness of the general's house.

But no matter whether it was Mrs. Wei Chi or Wei Chijing, there was a Qinghe clan behind it that could not be ignored, and the emperor did not want to offend either side, so he secretly summoned Wei Chi Hui and handed him the decision on this matter.

Wei Chi Hui was also in a dilemma, because of him, Yu Chirou was abducted and lived abroad for many years, and he felt guilty. But Wei Chijing is the daughter who lives with him and has been pampered by him in the palm of his hand for more than ten years, and he is also biased in his heart.

In the end, because Yu Chirou was not fatally injured and her reputation could be restored, Yu Chi Hui decided to launch a subordinate who did bad things for Yu Chi Jing's mother and daughter.

Zhou Jingrong was really angry with such a result, and almost came to the door to reason, but Fu Yunshen stopped her after saying anything.

Zhou Jingrong was angry: "That's it? Rou Niang fell seriously ill in vain, but Yu Chijing's mother and daughter didn't pay any price? ”

Fu Yunshen stuffed a piece of peach blossom crisp into Zhou Jingrong's mouth, and Zhou Jingrong chewed it reflexively, with a moving pink cheek, with an apricot eyes and a round expression of disgruntle, like a bulging little squirrel.

Fu Yun was secretly amused, touched her head, and reassured: "Don't worry, after this incident, General Wei Chi will also be wary of Wei Chi Jing's mother and daughter, if something happens to Wei Chi Rou, they will become the main suspects, so they must not dare to act rashly again." This time, the emperor saw the face on the side of the Qinghe River, so he did not hold Wei Chijing's mother and daughter accountable. But Wei Chirou is about to marry into the royal family, and she is also a royal person, if they are not grateful and ignore the royal face, the emperor will never tolerate it. ”

But Zhou Jingrong still felt unfair for her friend, and when she went to visit the patient, she couldn't help but complain to Wei Chirou: "It's so unfair, they poisoned you, how can it be treated as if nothing happened?" You are also the daughter of General Wei Chi, and he is too partial! ”

Yu Chirou smiled faintly and laughed at herself: "What kind of daughter am I, Wei Chijing is the daughter he has raised for more than ten years, isn't it normal for him to be partial?" ”

Zhou Jingrong wanted to say something more, but Wei Chirou said again: "I asked my father not to blame the mother and daughter." ”

Zhou Jingrong was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Why?" ”

Wei Chirou sighed softly and said slowly: "Even if I don't plead, he will find a way to deal with them for them." If I insist on justice, it's not impossible, but I'm afraid it will damage the relationship between father and daughter. It's better for me to take a step back and be a favor, anyway, I have nothing to lose, and I can make him feel grateful and guilty. After all, if I enter the Middle Palace in the future, I will always need the help of my mother's family, so how can I not get along with them? ”

Wei Chirou's eyes were clear, and she was not sad, but she just analyzed the pros and cons rationally as if she was out of the matter.

Zhou Jingrong saw her like this, but her eyes were gloomy, and her mood was a little low: "I used to think that it was very good that you could find your family. But now I feel that maybe it was the right choice for you not to leave Puhe County at the beginning. There are some things that don't hurt if you don't have them. ”

Wei Chirou smiled, held Zhou Jingrong's hand, and said softly: "Although there are many hardships, I know my life experience, I have recovered my identity, and the bad guy who killed me back then has also been punished as he deserves, I think it is worth it." Now, the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion and the crown princess of the East Palace, these are all mine. Since it's mine, why wouldn't I? ”

Wei Chirou paused, and said softly but firmly: "I will never regret any choice I have made, since I have chosen this path, I will only continue to walk, it is pointless to fantasize about another situation that did not happen." ”

It was supposed to be Zhou Jingrong who comforted Yu Chirou, but she didn't expect to be comforted by Yu Chirou instead.

Zhou Jingrong smiled back: "Rou Niang, you have always lived transparently." ”

＊

Although the problem of Wei Chirou, who was previously considered "insane", was resolved, the officials closed their mouths with amusement and no longer dwelt on the matter.

However, the rumor that "because Wei Chirou's virtue is not worthy of being the crown princess, which has caused a great drought" that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has not yet dispersed.

The persistence of the drought not only made the land thirsty, but also caused the weather to enter the heat in advance.

Zhou Jingrong hid in the house, pulled up the corners of her skirt to dissipate heat as usual, and sighed while eating chilled fruits: "Foolish people, foolish people." ”

Fu Yunshen walked in and looked at Zhou Jingrong who was lying next to the bookcase, and was no longer surprised by her indecent appearance.

He walked up to Zhou Jingrong, and with a wave of his long arm, he took away the ice fruit plate she had put in his hand, and motioned for Xian Ge to take it out.

Zhou Jingrong raised her head and looked at him with an unhappy face: "What are you doing?" ”

Fu Yunshen sat down beside her, reached out and flicked her forehead, and said softly: "You have used a lot of that ice bowl, don't eat it anymore." ”

Zhou Jingrong snorted lightly, and began to write again.

Fu Yunshen poked his head curiously and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Zhou Jingrong glanced at Fu Yunshen angrily, but still replied obediently: "I plan to draw a cartoon to popularize the principle of rainfall and tell those stupid people who are shouting all day long for the abolition of the crown princess that it is a natural phenomenon whether it rains or not, and it has nothing to do with anyone's morality." ”

"How does rain work?" When Fu Yunshen heard this, he came over with interest.

He knows the truth that "clouds cause rain, and dew turns into frost", but he doesn't know why clouds can cause rain and dew can become frost.

Zhou Jingrong saw Fu Yunshen sitting upright, looking like a good baby who humbly asked for advice, and suddenly had no anger, only thinking that he was cute.

So while she was drawing, she explained patiently: "...... That is, these small droplets of water gather in the air, and when they get bigger and heavier, and the air can't hold them, they fall and become the rain we see. ”

Fu Yunshen nodded thoughtfully: "It turns out that the clouds are formed like this. However, apart from natural rainfall, is there any other way to make rain fall with the help of external forces? ”

Zhou Jingrong thought for a while and replied, "In our place, artificial rain can be carried out. However, your conditions here do not allow it, so there should be no way. ”

"Artificial rain?" Fu Yunshen's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it a sacrifice to ask for rain?" ”

Zhou Jingrong shook his head and said: "No, it is the use of some scientific and technical means, such as using rockets to spray rainfall agents into the sky to promote cloud precipitation." ”

When Fu Yun heard this, he fell silent again.

Zhou Jingrong saw Fu Yunshen's frowns, and said with concern: "What's the matter, what are you asking for, does the prince still want to ask for rain?" ”

Fu Yunshen responded: "Well, now the people's hearts are in turmoil, and the drought is blamed on Wei Chirou. The crown prince cannot turn a blind eye to public opinion, so only rain can break the rumors and regain the hearts of the people. ”

Zhou Jingrong was curious about the process of praying for rain in ancient times, so he asked, "Then how do you ask for rain?" Do you set up an altar and chant scriptures or something? ”

Fu Yunshen said: "Well, you need to choose an auspicious place and set up a high platform to practice the altar, first by the Taoist priest, and then by the prince to worship heaven and earth." When the prince recites the memorial message, hundreds of people sound gongs and sing in unison. Before that, the prince had to burn incense, bathe in the bath, fast and chant for seven days as a sign of piety......"

Fu Yunshen's words, Zhou Jingrong didn't pay attention to them, and only repeatedly thought about the process of sacrificing and begging for rain.

Hundreds of people singing gongs and singing in chorus can form huge sound wave vibrations, and if the updraft is strong, it may also have the effect of forming clouds and causing rain.

It seems that although the ancients did not understand the truth, the practice was still in line with science.

Zhou Jingrong suddenly felt that perhaps, the idea of applying modern science and technology to ancient times and carrying out artificial rainfall could be tried.

＊

Qi Wuju released a cartoon drawn by Zhou Jingrong on the principle of popular science rainfall, and also started experiments on the spot.

A very simple little experiment, using an oil lamp to heat the tea bowl, when the water vapor condenses on the lid of the tea bowl, when it is cold, it becomes a small water droplet, which will drip down again.

This is a phenomenon that is very common but not noticed, and it vividly explains the principle of rainfall.

At the same time, the news that the prince was preparing for rain soon spread through the streets.

Zhou Jingrong's popular science cartoons were released first, in order to pave the way for the prince's behavior of begging for rain.

Because rainfall is a natural law and scientific knowledge, and this rain request is an experiment, there is no guarantee that it will be successful.

Therefore, if the prince fails to ask for rain, it can be explained by the failure of the experiment, and it will not be criticized to the point of his virtue. If the prayer for rain is successful, the people will only appreciate the prince's merits and profound and innovative knowledge, and respect him even more.

As for the rumors that the crown princess caused the drought, it is self-defeating.

The place of worship and rain was chosen on a high cliff near the abyss.

Zhou Jingrong originally wanted to find a high mountain, the closer to the sky, the better, so that the vibration of the huge sound wave created by this might make the rainfall more likely to succeed.

But after repeated thinking and research, Fu Yunshen chose this cliff, and decided to follow Zhou Jingrong's method of explaining the principle of rainfall to the people, and ignited a fire at the bottom of the valley to make the air rise rapidly. Because the terrain of the cliffs and valleys is relatively closed, it is easier to form updrafts.

Fu Yunshen's rigorous scientific attitude made Zhou Jingrong, a liberal arts student, unreachable.

Zhou Jingrong really felt the fact that Fu Yunshen was a scholar at this time, it turned out that he not only memorized scriptures and history, wrote articles, but also studied both arts and sciences!
