Chapter 59: Repaying Evil with Kindness
Xiao Xixi nodded obediently: "I saw it."
Luo Qinghan: "Then do you know why he came to see me?"
"Yes, my mother and my sister fell into the water and became ill. My father would like to ask you to allow the imperial physician to come out of the palace to treat them."
"So do you want me to help him?"
Xiao Xixi nodded: "Hope."
Luo Qinghan's eyes were filled with inquiry: "Don't you dislike them? Why do you still want me to help them? Are you planning to repay evil with kindness?"
"I really don't like them, but I don't want them to die, especially my sister. She is just a child and innocent. I don't want her to die early. That would be a pity. Putting aside these personal feelings, my father is quite talented in leading troops to fight. He needs help right now. If Your Highness can show him a favor, he will remember it in his heart. When you ascend the throne in the future, he may be able to help you."
Luo Qinghan looked at her steadily.
Xiao Xixi blinked: "Why is your Highness looking at me like that?"
After a long while, Luo Qinghan finally spoke: "You see things very clearly."
Xiao Xixi said shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
In fact, when Xiao Lingfeng came for help, Luo Qinghan was already prepared to help him, but he knew the principle of repaying kindness with resentment, so he let Eunuch Chang put on a show.
Eunuch Chang deliberately pretended to be in an awkward situation in front of Xiao Lingfeng. He went in and out three times, delaying again and again, until Xiao Lingfeng was desperate and knelt down to beg, then he agreed to his request.
In this way, it seems that the prince's grace is extremely hard-earned, and Xiao Lingfeng will naturally cherish this favor even more.
Luo Qinghan did not tell the woman in front of him about these tricks of playing with people's hearts. She did not need to know these messy things.
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I have already asked Chang Xi to take your father to the Imperial Hospital. As for whether your mother and your sister can save their lives this time, it depends on whether God will show mercy."
Xiao Xixi said calmly: "I have already read their fortunes. They should not be in danger of losing their lives this time. They will just suffer some physical pain."
"Are you good at fortune-telling?"
"It's OK."
"Then can you help calculate when it will rain in the south? Four counties in the south have been experiencing drought for almost three consecutive months."
Xiao Xixi asked: "Do you have a map? The southern area is very large. I want to know which specific area you are referring to?"
Luo Qinghan happened to have a map of the Great Sheng Dynasty, so he asked someone to take it out and spread it out on the table.
He drew a circle on the southern side of the map with his finger and said, "This is the area suffering from drought."
Xiao Xixi stretched out her right hand, pressed on the place he circled, closed her eyes, and began to sense.
After a moment, she opened her eyes and frowned, "If my calculations are correct, it will not rain in these four counties until the end of this year."
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.
There is still half a year left until the end of the year. If it doesn’t rain, I’m afraid the people in the south will have no harvest this year.
As a result, not only could they not pay taxes, but they even had difficulty filling their stomachs.
I wonder how many poor people will starve to death by then?
Xiao Xixi stared at the map, tapping on it with her fingers and muttering to herself.
Luo Qinghan couldn't hear what she was saying, so he asked directly, "What did you see?"
