Udumbara flower

Fu Qingsu didn't know what Fu Ayue was thinking, she just thought that Fu Ayue was worried about her.

Fu Qingsu and the other two were riding their horses. As soon as they got out of the valley, the sky was suddenly filled with lightning, thunder and strong winds.

Fu Qingsu looked up at the sky, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Even Fu Ayue felt vaguely uneasy and moved closer to Fu Qingsu, "Qingsu."

Fu Qingsu comforted Fu Ayue, "Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."

Fu Qingsu said that everything was fine, but the uneasiness in his heart was like a nail that was deeply embedded in his heart.

Praying for rain for the people of Qin State is the most important thing now. She believes that the Wuling clan has the protection of the Rain God and will be fine.

Two months later.

Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue followed Yang Mingyu and walked to Licheng, the capital of Qin State.

Upon hearing that Yang Mingyu brought the holy maiden of the Wuling tribe, the emperor of Qin wanted to see Fu Qingsu, but Fu Qingsu refused. Her purpose of leaving the valley was to help the people of Qin pray for rain, and she wanted to help them pray for rain as soon as possible. As long as it rained heavily, she would be able to go back soon.

After being rejected, Fu Qingsu took Fu Ayue out of the house and met the people of Licheng. Almost everyone had chapped or peeling lips and was weak and powerless.

But some are slightly different.

Although water supply is in short supply, the rich still live as if they have never lacked water.

Seeing this, Fu Qingsu and Fu Ayue had no intention of continuing walking and went straight back to the mansion.

As soon as they returned to the mansion, Awei, the maid sent by Yang Mingyu to serve them, saw them coming back and hurried to greet them.

Awei knew that Fu Qingsu had seen the miserable plight of the people of Qin State.

Comforting Fu Qingsu, "Miss Fu, the drought is a natural disaster. We are powerless in the face of natural disasters. Now that you are here, I believe that our Qin State will recover its former vitality."

"As long as we can restore our former vitality, the present days will be over."

As long as Fu Qingsu prays for rain, God will send down heavy rain and the people will be saved.

"Qingsu, Awei is right. Only when there is heavy rain will the people have water to drink."

Everyone knows that it is impossible to rely on those dignitaries to give water to the people. Moreover, even if they are willing to help, how many people can they help? Only heavy rain can truly solve the problem of people having no water to drink.

"I'm narrow-minded."

Fu Qingsu suddenly thought it through. It was just as they said. Only heavy rain could truly solve the problem of the people having no water to drink.

Afterwards, Fu Qingsu found Yang Mingyu and asked him when he could start praying for rain.

Yang Mingyu looked embarrassed, but he promised Fu Qingsu that he would do it as soon as possible. Although Fu Qingsu didn't know why Yang Mingyu didn't let her start praying for rain, she could see that Yang Mingyu was really worried about the comfort of the people of Qin State, so she was willing to wait a little longer.

Fu Qingsu didn't expect that she would have to wait for more than ten days before she asked Yang Mingyu why he didn't allow her to pray for rain.

Yang Mingyu didn't want Fu Qingsu to know, but at this point, Yang Mingyu could only tell Fu Qingsu the truth.

It was the emperor who did not allow Fu Qingsu to pray for rain.

Fu Qingsu was puzzled. Why wasn't she allowed to pray for rain? If the Qin Kingdom suffered a severe drought, countless people would die or be injured. And wasn't Yang Mingyu's purpose in finding the Wuling Clan to ask them to pray for rain? Wasn't that something the Emperor allowed? Now she was told that the Emperor didn't allow it.

This is why.

Fu Qingsu was puzzled.

Yang Mingyu told Fu Qingsu that it was because the emperor summoned Fu Qingsu, but Fu Qingsu refused to see him.

Hearing this, Fu Qingsu actually found it absurd.

In the end, is the people more important, or is seeing her the most important?

No wonder there was a severe drought, it had a lot to do with the emperor.

For the sake of the people suffering from the severe drought, Fu Qingsu agreed to the emperor's summons.

Followed Yang Mingyu to meet the Qin State Emperor Yang Longye.

Fu Qingsu was still wearing the clothing of the Wuling clan, a blue dress with the collar, cuffs, and hem embroidered with the Wuling clan's rain patterns and other decorations.

As she stepped into the palace, Fu Qingsu clearly noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on her. Fu Qingsu was not panicked and continued to walk forward side by side with Yang Mingyu.

However, there was a greedy gaze in front of her, which made Fu Qingsu slightly unhappy, but Fu Qingsu controlled her temper. After all, she came for the people of Qin State.

Fu Qingsu followed Yang Mingyu to pay a visit to Yang Longye.

When Yang Longye opened his mouth, he was not asking about Fu Qingsu's prayer for rain, but was asking whether Fu Qingsu really had supernatural powers.

Fu Qingsu said no, serving the Rain God is their clan's mission, and their power comes from the Rain God.

Seeing that Fu Qingsu did not give a direct answer, Yang Longye asked some other questions, such as whether he had seen a god, whether he knew how to become a god, or how to achieve immortality.

Fu Qingsu vaguely sensed Yang Longye's purpose, but said he didn't know.

Fu Qingsu really didn't know.

Although she possesses spiritual power, which is given by the Rain God, she only serves the Rain God.

Fu Qingsu didn't want to know the rest.

The emperor's face darkened. Seeing this, Yang Mingyu quickly spoke up and said that praying for rain was the most important thing now. However, the emperor didn't seem to care. It was another minister who persuaded the emperor that praying for rain was the most important thing now.

As for the rest of the things, let’s talk about them after we understand the matter of praying for rain.

Upon hearing this, the emperor smiled in a way that puzzled Fu Qingsu.

Fu Qingsu knew that this trip would definitely not be safe. He could even take Fu Ayue and flee from here right now, but for the sake of those people, Fu Qingsu decided to stay.

Privately, Fu Qingsu asked Fu Ayue to leave first.

Fu Ayue was unwilling to do so. Firstly, Yang Mingyu was here, and secondly, she couldn't leave Fu Qingsu alone.

Even if there is danger, Fu Ayue will bear it together with Fu Qingsu.

But Fu Qingsu didn't want to. She didn't want Fu Ayue to stay.

"Ayue, if you stay, your life will be in danger."

"Our lives are in danger! How could this happen? Didn't they ask us to help pray for rain?" Fu Ayue couldn't understand how their lives could be in danger.

They were clearly just here to pray for rain.

How could it endanger their lives?

Fu Ayue couldn't understand it no matter how hard she tried.

"The emperor doesn't care whether the people have water to drink; he cares more about whether he can get what he wants."

Fu Qingsu didn't know what the emperor wanted, but she knew that the emperor didn't care about the lives of the people, but cared more about herself.

"Qingsu, let's go now!" Fu Ayue's first reaction was to leave this place of trouble with Fu Qingsu. Fu Ayue even wanted to take Yang Mingyu away with her.

"Ayue, I can't leave. I can't let the people die."

The emperor may not care, but Fu Qingsu cannot ignore the innocent people.

I can't bear to see everyone die because they have no water to drink.

She really can't do it.

"Ayue, leave now."

If Fu Qingsu doesn't leave, Fu Ayue must leave.

Fu Ayue shook her head and refused, "I won't leave. Even if we have to leave, we should leave together."

Those who came together should leave together.

"Didn't I tell you I can't leave?"

Fu Qingsu can't leave.

"Then, if your life is really in danger, I will bear it with you."

If there is really a life-threatening danger, Fu Ayue is willing to bear the responsibility and die together with Fu Qingsu.

"You are so stupid!"

Fu Qingsu sighed.

I can only follow Fu Ayue!

On the day of praying for rain, Fu Qingsu rode in a carriage to the altar prepared in advance.

The emperor, princes and ministers of the Qin Kingdom had already been sitting or standing around the altar, surrounded by officers and soldiers.

In addition to the officers and soldiers, there are the people who are paying attention.

Fu Qingsu walked towards the altar step by step with a serious expression, looking at the clear sky.

Start praying for rain.

Everyone held their breath and looked at Fu Qingsu, their eyes following his movements of praying for rain.

Suddenly, the originally clear blue sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was howling.

"It's going to rain heavily."

Some people among the people shouted excitedly.

“Great.

"It's finally going to rain heavily."

There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. The people of Qin State, who had not seen rain for a long time, excitedly let the heavy rain soak them, and everyone's face was shining with joy and hope of life.

Fu Qingsu stood on the altar. The rain had already soaked her whole body, but there was a smile on her face. She was happy for the people.

Glad they are alive.

After this prayer for rain, heavy rain continued for more than ten days. Fu Qingsu calculated that there would be no more severe drought in Qin State.

Now that the drought has ended, there is no need for them to stay.

When they were leaving, the yard where Fu Qingsu and A Yue were was surrounded, as if they were serious criminals.

Yang Mingyu and a man in official uniform appeared in front of Fu Qingsu. Fu Qingsu recognized him as Lu Daheng, the man who served the Emperor of Qin.

"What are you two doing?"

Fu Qingsu asked them back.

Especially since Fu Qingsu and Yang Mingyu had said that she and Fu Ayue wanted to leave Qin State and return to their clan, Yang Mingyu agreed at that time, but now he wanted to block their way.

Yang Mingyu hesitated to speak, as if feeling guilty, and turned his face away. Instead, Lu Daheng, who was standing next to him, spoke with a smile.

"Miss Fu, the emperor sent Lord Yang and me here because he hopes that someone as capable as you can stay in Qin State."

"If you stay in Qin Country, we can give you whatever you want."

Fu Qingsu frowned slightly, "I don't need these things, and I don't want to stay in Qin Country."

Fu Qingsu just wanted to leave Qin State and return to the Wuling tribe. The Wuling tribe was where she belonged.

Lu Daheng knew that Fu Qingsu would answer like this, so he promised Fu Qingsu that as long as he was willing to stay in Qin State, he would be second to none, but Fu Qingsu still chose to leave.

"Is that so?" Lu Daheng pretended to express regret.

"Since you insist on leaving, Miss Su, we can't stop you. However, you can leave, but you must agree to one condition."

"What conditions?"

Fu Qingsu knew that if he wanted to leave safely, he had to agree to their conditions.

Lu Daheng's playful smile faded, and he turned serious. "Rumor has it that your Wuling clan, in addition to being able to pray for heavy rain, also possesses a treasure called the Udumbara Flower, which grants immortality."
