After a few days of careful treatment, my spirit returned to normal, but my mind could no longer be as calm and comfortable as before.

Yingchun is completely crazy. As an indirect victim of the "bone drunk" incident, Concubine Zheng and I couldn't bear to send her to the Yeting Palace to fend for herself, so we bribed the head of the inner court, quietly sent her out of her own home outside the palace, and gave her a good sum of money for her family to live on.

After Yingchun left, Concubine Zheng lost a personal maid. I was afraid that the little palace maid who originally served Concubine Zheng would not be able to take on the big responsibility, and because Yunqing's attitude towards Chu Qing made me dislike her, I assigned Yunqing to Concubine Zheng. When I announced this decision in public, Yun Qing's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction, but then she smiled to hide the past, but this trace of dissatisfaction did not escape my eyes looking at her.

In the next few days, the palace can be regarded as calm, but no one can predict whether there is a bigger storm behind this calm.

I've gradually focused my energy on my life's work. The emperor gave the princess a mansion, how to build the princess's mansion, how to lay it out, how to furnish it, what kind of color to match, what kind of trees and flowers to plant, are all my concerns. This will be the place where I will spend my life with Chu Qing, and I want to do everything myself.

Early this morning, as soon as I finished breakfast, I hurried to the Ministry of Works, and I had to urge the officials of the Ministry of Works to hand over the sample drawings of the Princess's Mansion early. On a spring morning, the air is still a little cold, mixed with the mixed scent of plants, trees and flowers, which makes people feel refreshed. At this time, the harem was quiet and busy, and the female eunuchs of the palace were quietly working, so as not to disturb the rest of the masters and be punished.

I walked leisurely towards Tianjie, and took a carriage out of the palace at Chengtianmen to go to the Ministry of Industry. The pedestrians on Suzaku Street were in good order, and my carriage was smooth all the way.

When I passed by the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, I heard someone in the carriage talking: "What a pitiful! One corpse, two lives! "Yes, what a sin! Lord Xue is afraid that he will not be able to separate. Recently, I have been busy with various matters related to the princess's wedding, how can I miss Lord Xue? ”

Because I heard that this matter was related to Xue Shenfu, and the two of them were quite obscure in their conversation, I took it to heart and motioned to Yuhan to slow down the coachman.

I only heard the previous person reply: "This time the accident happened in the fourth room of the Xue family, and Lord Xue is afraid that he will come back in a day or two to deal with affairs." ”

This sentence is tantamount to a bolt from the blue sky to me! The Xue family's four rooms, isn't it Chu Qing? What happened to him? What does one corpse and two lives have to do with Chu Qing? Could it be that Chu Qing rushed into the pregnant woman and caused a fatality?

While I was thinking about it, Yuhan had already given the coachman an empathetic order to change direction, and our carriage galloped towards the General's Mansion.

The General's Mansion is located near the Yong'an Canal, the tall and majestic lintel is bathed in the rising sun, exuding a sacred and solemn atmosphere, and the three big characters of "General's Mansion" are flashing with shining light. In front of the door, there is a mighty and upright stone lion guarding the left and right, which makes the general's mansion even more tightly controlled.

Yuhan knocked on the door, and it took a long time before an old slave came out to open the door. When he heard that the princess had arrived, he panicked and was busy trying to pass the word inside, but I stopped him and asked him to lead me and Yuhan inside.

We followed the old slave through the lobby of the General's Palace, through the winding corridor, and towards the backyard. Along the way, Yuhan asked what happened to the General's Mansion, but the old slave was hesitant and didn't say why.
