The sky gradually brightened.
After Qi Yunxiao handed over his shift to the person who came to relieve him, he did not go back directly to the east courtyard, but took a detour to a lotus garden in the marquis's mansion.
At this moment, the morning sun has not yet risen, and in the lotus garden, layers of mist have dissipated, making the dewdrops hanging on the lotus leaves and flowers more obvious and crystal clear.
Qi Yunxiao picked up the bamboo kettle he had prepared in advance and slowly walked towards the emerald green lotus leaves filled with clean and clear dew.
It was not known how long it had passed, but when the sun rose, he finally stood up from the intertwined lotus leaves and lotus flowers, and walked out of the lotus garden carrying a bamboo water bottle that was already full.
…
When Chen Yao woke up, Xichun and Yuezhu were knocking on the door to wake her up, "Miss, you should get up."
Chen Yao turned over while hugging the quilt and said lazily: "Come in, I'll get up right away."
The door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and Xichun and Yuezhu walked in together. Through the semi-transparent bed curtain, Chen Yao saw that Xichun seemed to be holding something in his hand, and he placed it carefully on the table as soon as he came in.
"Miss, are you up?" Xichun asked after putting her things away.
Chen Yao lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, "I'm getting up right away, but did you bring anything here just now?"
Xichun smiled and replied, "I was just about to tell you, young lady. Just now, Yuezhu and I happened to run into Guard Mochuan at the courtyard gate. He was holding a bamboo tube in his hand. As soon as he saw us, he handed it over, saying that he had specially gathered some clean dew early in the morning for you to use in making tea."
Chen Yao was startled, "Dew?"
Xichun nodded. "Yes, Miss, I heard that this dew tea has a unique flavor. I will make some for you to try later."
Yuezhu came over with some warm water for Chen Yao to wash up, saying, "Dew is not easy to collect. And seeing that this big bamboo tube is full, I think the Mochuan guard is also thoughtful."
Xichun: "Yes, and we have to go early, otherwise the dew will disappear in no time once the morning sun comes out."
Chen Yao opened the curtain and got out of bed, whispering, "Wasn't he on night duty last night? Why did he come here to deliver Lu Shui so early in the morning? When you met him, had he been standing there waiting for quite a while?"
Xichun suddenly realized, "It seems to be true... I guess the Mochuan guards must have arrived at the door a long time ago, and then stood there waiting for us to show up."
Chen Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at the bamboo tube of dew lying quietly on the table, and said softly, "You are thoughtful."
While washing up, she instructed Xichun, "Have the kitchen stew some nourishing soup today, and then personally deliver it to the east courtyard at lunchtime. Also, tell Mo Chuan to come see me in the evening."
Xichun responded: "Yes."
…
Qi Yunxiao returned to the east yard, took a quick shower and then lay down.
However, although he was very sleepy at the moment, he was not sleepy at all.
Moreover, my head seemed to start to ache slightly.
In fact, he had already had such symptoms since the day before yesterday, but today they were particularly frequent, as if something was trying to burst out of his mind.
Could it be that he was about to recover his memory? He wondered.
