Pothos brought her in and covered her, "Miss, the slave maid serves you to sleep."

"Hmm." Chu Wanxiang leaned on the bedpost and closed her eyes to rest. Luluo sat on the edge of the bed for a while, quietly left, and closed the door for Chu Wanxiang.

Early the next morning, Chu Wanxiang got up and finished her makeup, looked left and right in front of the mirror, looked at her beautiful self in the mirror, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Miss, you're finally awake! The slave is worried that you have slept on your head!"

"What nonsense, I just dreamed about a dragon last night."

"Miss, don't tease the slaves." Luluo smiled helplessly, walked to the dresser and helped Chu Wanxiang insert the hairpin: "Today is the New Year, let's go to worship the concubine, and then go to say hello to the master."

"Okay." Chu Wanxiang happily agreed.

The green pothos put on a jade hairpin for Chu Wanxiang and looked at her for a long time: "Miss, why do you seem to be a different person?"

"Really?" Chu Wanxiang turned her wrist and said with satisfaction, "Yes, it seems that this set of jewelry suits me very well."

"It's very beautiful, I just don't know if you will look good in it." Pothos smiled and said, "Wait, slave maid goes to fetch clothes."

Not long after the pothos went out, the palace maid walked in with a food box: "Princess, it's time to eat."

"Okay."

Chu Mohan walked into the room, Chu Wanxiang had already changed into a pink embroidered plum blossom brocade long jacket, covered with silver mouse hair and shoulders, his hair was pulled into a bun, and a hollow carved orchid white jade hairpin was inserted obliquely, and the whole person looked new.

"Evening Xiang." Chu Mohan walked over and took her hand, lowered his head and sniffed the elegant and refreshing fragrance on her body: "The smell of medicine on your body has dissipated, has it recovered as before?"

Chu Wanxiang touched her neck with a smile: "Of course, my physical fitness has always been good, you see, now the slightest discomfort is gone."

"Then I'll be relieved." Chu Mohan let go of her hand and said, "I'll go to the study to deal with some trivial matters, you can eat by yourself during lunchtime, and then go to the ancestral hall after you have eaten and drunk, and I will kneel with you for three days and three nights."

Chu Wanxiang pouted: "I won't do it."

Chu Mohan raised his eyes to look at her, "What did you say?"

Chu Wanxiang blinked her eyes widely: "I don't want to kneel in the ancestral hall, I ask for a different way of punishment."

Chu Mohan frowned: "What kind of punishment?"

Chu Wanxiang tilted his head and thought about it: "I want to think about it......" Suddenly her eyes lit up: "I thought about it, I want to see the stars, I can't refuse!" Otherwise, I won't go to the ancestral hall!"

"Stars?" Chu Mohan couldn't help but laugh: "Are you sure you want to go and see the stars?"

"Sure, sure!" Chu Wanxiang clenched his fists.

Chu Mohan was helpless: "Then you change your clothes, let's go to the city tower to see the stars in a while."

Chu Wanxiang nodded happily: "Okay!"

Chu Mohan instructed his subordinates to prepare the car and led Chu Wanxiang to the city tower. In the carriage, Chu Wanxiang asked him, "Do you want my brother to go with us?"

"I'm a little busy, so I'm not going today. If you miss him, let's go out on an outing as a family another day, okay?" Chu Mohan asked.

Chu Wanxiang nodded: "Okay, when the time comes, you will accompany me to pick peach blossoms."

"Okay." Chu Mohan pinched the tip of her nose dotingly.

Chu Wanxiang suddenly remembered something, turned her head and looked at him seriously: "Brother, I heard that you raised a woman outside, can you tell me her name and origin?"

Chu Mohan was stunned for a moment, shook his head and chuckled: "What kind of woman, nonsense."

Chu Wanxiang pouted, "You can't lie to me."

"I promise, I won't lie to you."

Chu Wanxiang believed it, but she still didn't hesitate to ask, "Then what's her name?"

"It's called Ah Jiu."

"Okay, I remember." Chu Wanxiang grinned sweetly: "The person I love the most is called Ah Jiu, I don't want you to bully her."

Chu Mohan couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, she loves you more than me."

Chu Wanxiang snorted: "Whoever wants her to hurt, I'm not rare."

"Okay, she doesn't hurt you, I love you, okay?" Chu Mohan smiled, stretched out his hand to hug her, and hugged her on his lap: "Obediently, we are going to live together for a lifetime, and the two of us must love each other well."

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and smiled, "I will work hard."

The sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

The carriage stopped, Chu Mohan lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and saw a group of soldiers riding on horses in front of him, galloping towards a luxurious sedan car. Chu Mohan was slightly stunned, this was the emperor's car.

Chu Mohan frowned and ordered, "Stop them."

When several black-armored soldiers heard this, they immediately rushed forward on horseback.

The first of the black-armored lieutenant generals, Le Ma, stopped, hugged his fists and said, "The last general will see the Fourth Highness."

Chu Mohan waved his hand to signal them to retreat, then jumped out of the carriage, walked to the sedan chair, and knelt down on one knee: "Father, the son is ordered to investigate the case, and he has come to report it."

There was a coughing sound from inside the sedan car, and then a hand lifted the curtain and poked out: "Calm down."

"Thank you." Chu Mohan stood up, lowered his eyes, and said, "There are clues about the disappearance of the queen mother in the imperial dining room."

There was a sudden silence in the sedan chair. The Emperor took a deep breath and said slowly, "Go on."

"Yes. Before the queen mother disappeared, she talked to a maid and said that she would have dinner in Fengyi Pavilion today, and asked people to prepare a dinner party and ask all the palace guards to withdraw from Fengyi Pavilion, and then there was no news."

There was silence in the sedan chair for a moment, and the emperor spoke: "I know about this matter, Mo Han, you should retreat first."

"The retainers obey." Chu Mohan retreated, walked a few steps, and turned back: "Your Majesty, the cause of the queen mother's death has not yet been investigated, and the son asks the father to send another group of elite soldiers to assist."

"I've already made a decision on this matter, so you don't have to say more."

"Now that my father has made up his mind, the minister will retire." Chu Mohan bowed his head and turned to leave.

Chu Wanxiang looked at his back: "Brother, what were you talking to your father just now?"

"I'm discussing with my father that I will let someone from the Tai Hospital enter the palace tomorrow to treat my mother."

"Oh." Chu Wanxiang responded, and said, "Then you go and go about your business, and when I finish watching the stars, let's go pick peach blossoms together."

"Okay." Chu Mohan nodded, turned over on his horse, and walked away with the guards.

Chu Wanxiang sat in the carriage for a moment and sighed, "Oh, it's really painful to come out to play this time, and I don't want to see any stars!"

Chunyu leaned weakly on the soft pillow and said weakly: "Don't worry, princess, it's coming soon, I heard people talk about it yesterday, there are many peach trees around here, and the princess can enjoy the scenery in the peach forest at that time."

"yes, okay." Chu Wanxiang replied.

Chunyu's gentle face showed a hint of worry. She didn't know why Chu Wanxiang went to Beiyan Kingdom this time, but she always felt that the situation seemed to be getting a little worse.

A month later, a fire broke out in the capital, and it is said that even the imperial kitchen in the palace burned to death, and two palace concubines died, one of whom was the queen mother.
