Chapter 185: The Truth About Youlan Garden

"Princess, the lord and the lady sent a message to ask you to go back to the Su Mansion to stay, don't you really go back and take a look?"

Ji Xiang just came in from the outside of the chamber wrapped in a snowstorm, she stomped her feet in the outer compartment, and did not forget to shout at the inner compartment.

Su Youning in the inner compartment was dressed decently and her makeup was exquisite, she was sitting on the soft floor, holding the painting book in her hand and was slightly distracted.

Ji Xiang didn't get a response, opened the bead curtain and walked in.

As soon as he looked over, he found that his master was stunned again, and Jixiang couldn't help but sigh slightly.

His Royal Highness King Yu has been away from Beijing for ten days, and the injury on her master's chest is gradually improving, but her temperament is becoming more and more calm.

In the past, if you don't go out for a few days, you will be noisy that you should go out to breathe.

Now ten days have passed since she was injured, and she has not been seen out of this main courtyard.

The only advantage of Su Youning not going out is that Baihu and the guards who protect the safety of the master don't have to run around, they just need to guard the main courtyard well.

Jixiang found that the soft collapsed window lattice was slightly stretched out again, and the fine and dense cold wind continued to pour in, and from time to time there was a whirring wind, and a little snow fell on the window sill with the cold wind, forming thin ice crystals.

Ji Xiang, who was wearing a thick cotton suit, shook his head helplessly, but quickly rubbed his hands, turned around and took out a velvet blanket from the suitcase and walked over, gently covering Su Youning's legs.

"Master, the weather has been getting colder and colder these days, if you open the window to breathe, you have to be careful of getting cold."

Su Youning came back to her senses and found that the hand holding the picture book was already a little stiff, she put the picture book on the low table, and gently shook it with her slender fingers.

Thinking of something, he raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

"How have the affairs of Youlan Garden been handled in the past few days?"

Ji Xiang bowed back and said.

"According to your orders, the two remaining women in the Youlan Garden have already given the silver taels, and they will be sent out of the mansion today, and Steward Liu will send someone to send them out of Kyoto."

Su Youning bowed slightly, and couldn't help but explain.

"This is a matter explained by His Royal Highness, and I will tell Steward Liu that you must send people out of Kyoto safely."

Jixiang nodded, stretched out his hand to pull the velvet blanket up for Su Youning, and handed the slightly hot soup woman to Su Youning.

"Master, the slave maid really didn't think that the matter of Youlan Yuan was actually a rumor, and His Royal Highness is really impressive."

Su Youning pursed her lips slightly, her delicate face was slightly moved when Ji Xiang mentioned Chu Yu, and she couldn't help but regret her original prejudice against Chu Yu in her heart.

"If you and I say this in this house, you and I are not allowed to spread it, lest anyone who has a heart take advantage of it."

Since that day in the study, he saw the book in the brocade box and the message he left, Su Youning's heart was full of emotions.

She was grateful to Chu Yu for all the arrangements she made, and she was also angry that Chu Yu actually wrote and left the book.

Thinking about it, Su Youning clearly knew that she didn't want to reconcile with Chu Yu, and now she should take on the responsibility of the master of King Yu's mansion.

Unexpectedly, when Su Youning was preparing to take care of King Yu's mansion, Steward Liu went back and forth to Su Youning, saying that Chu Yu explained before leaving, and asked Princess Yu to dispose of the Youlan Garden in King Yu's mansion.

Youlan Yuan was synonymous with Chu Yu's cruelty and murder in Su Youning's heart, and when she heard this errand, she immediately declined.

I never thought that three days ago, in the evening, Su Youning was already half injured, and the white tiger took Su Youning to the secret place in the backyard of Chu Yu's main courtyard, and behind the inconspicuous gate was a long secret passage.

Su Youning took the hat through a long secret passage and got into the carriage, and the carriage drove all the way to a manor on the outskirts of Beijing.

The white tiger took Su Youning into the manor, and a woman in cotton clothes came out of it, and when she saw the woman's face clearly, Su Youning was so frightened that she retreated again and again.

Su Youning recognized this woman, just a few days after entering the Yu Palace, when she was looking for Chu Yu, she happened to meet Chu Yu leaving Youlan Garden with a corpse, and the corpse was standing in front of her at the moment.

The woman was not surprised by Su Youning's reaction, and bowed slightly.

"The slave family sees Princess Yu, Princess Yu doesn't have to be afraid, His Royal Highness will leave the slave family alive, and she will be a member of the Yu Palace."

Su Youning looked at the terrifying scene in front of her and couldn't believe it.

Later, under the explanation of the woman and the white tiger, Su Youning completely understood the truth about the rumors in Kyoto that Chu Yu was murderous.

The women in the Youlan Garden of Yuwang's Mansion are divided into two groups, one group is a special work for people to deliver messages, and the other group is the poor people who are innocently involved.

The real corpses carried out in Youlan Yuan were all women who were planning to climb onto Chu Yu's bed and uncover his plan.

And the fake corpses carried out of the Orchid Garden were those innocent and poor people.

Chu Yu didn't want to make people suspicious, and he didn't want people to find out that he had killed those informants in a targeted manner, so the best way was to "kill" all the women in Youlan Garden.

But he is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and after those poor people fake their deaths, they will be sent out of the palace through the secret passage of King Yu's mansion.

Those who have a place to go will leave on their own, and those who have nowhere to go will be kept in this suburb of Beijing.

Baihu knew that all this was a little difficult for Su Youning to accept, but she was now the master of Yuwang's Mansion.

"Princess, Your Highness will explain and let you deal with these people."

When the woman heard this, she immediately knelt down.

Su Youning was slightly stunned, looked at the woman, and thought that she was used to serving people, her figure and tone made the man unable to extricate herself, and she was inexplicably a little sour in her heart.

"Princess, the slave family has received the favor of His Royal Highness, please ask the princess to be gracious, let the slave family return to the palace of Yuwang, and serving His Royal Highness and the princess is the greatest expectation of the slave family."

Su Youning bit her lower lip lightly, the woman in front of her looked much older than her, and the pitiful appearance of kneeling on the ground made her feel a little soft-hearted.

But she didn't want this woman to go home, but

Seeing that Su Youning didn't move, Baihu stepped forward to remind.

"My subordinates reminded the princess that now the Yu Mansion is in charge of you, and all decisions will affect the Yu Palace."

Su Youning came back to her senses, her eyes gradually became fierce, and she raised her chin slightly and glanced at the woman on the ground.

"White Tiger, the people who are raised in this house are sent away from Kyoto, the farther away the better."

When the woman on the ground heard this, the voice that had been pleading just now stopped abruptly, and she looked at Su Youning with red eyes and incredulity.

"Princess."

Su Youning's eyes stared at the woman on the ground, and her red lips opened slightly.

"You knelt on the ground and begged me to let you go back to the palace, you said that you want to serve His Highness, but don't you know that you are already a dead man in the Yuwang Mansion now?"

The woman was amazed, and tears froze on her face.

Su Youning continued.

"I believe Your Highness said that you are an innocent person, but if you want to go home, it is impossible."

At this moment, Su Youning was much more relaxed, maybe because she made the style of Princess Yu, maybe because there were no other women in the Yu Palace!

The white tiger looked at Su Youning to deal with this matter so firmly, with a hint of affirmation in his eyes, this woman would overthrow everything from her previous master when she returned home, Su Youning was quite smart.

Su Youning returned to Yuwang's Mansion and disposed of the remaining two women in Youlan Yuan in the same way.

"Master, master, what do you want?"

Jixiang came over with hot tea, and found that Su Youning was stunned again, and couldn't help but remind him lightly.

Su Youning lowered her eyelids, looked at the hot tea with wisps of white smoke rising from the low table, and said quietly.

"Do you have a letter back home today?"

Jixiang chuckled in his heart, his master asked if there was a letter for a few days, but the ending always disappointed her, pursed her lips, and whispered.

"There is no letter to return home, it may be a heavy snow in the Southern Dynasty, even if the letter is sent back quickly, there will be a delay."

Speaking of the heavy snow in the Southern Dynasties, Su Youning's eyes sank, she raised her eyes to look out the window, and at some point there were snowflakes floating again.

The sprinkling snow is like her heart at the moment, fluttering and drifting with no place to return.

"Master, the slave just said that the old lady invited you back to Su Mansion, do you want to go back to stay?"

Ji Xiang saw that Su Youning was immersed in grief again, and changed the topic.

Su Youning also missed her father, but she still shook her head.

"The injuries on my body are not healed yet, and I will worry my father and mother when I go back, but now that His Royal Highness is not here, and Kyoto is in chaos, I don't have to bother to go out of the house."

Jixiang nodded, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a note from the cuff of the cotton suit and handed it to Su Youning, with a hint of apology.

"The slave and maid really forgot when they were busy, and you sent a message from Gesang Lou before you took a nap."

Su Youning took the note and looked at it, and her brows gradually twisted.

"Smack!"

She slammed the note on the low table, her face flushing from the contents of the letter.

After a while, Su Youning said coldly.

"Jixiang, go out of the house and go to Gesang Building."
