After hearing this, Xiao Tao sighed.

Sigh! I wonder when the young lady and the prince will reconcile.

"Alright, Xiao Tao, pack your things and leave Leng Courtyard."

"Miss, am I really leaving?"

"certainly."

“Alright then, Miss. I’ll go to the hot pot restaurant. If you need anything, just come find me there.”

"Okay, go ahead!"

………………………………………………

This way.

After Qin Mohan and the others returned to the Prince's Mansion, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Butler, that person is the Princess, isn't she?" Qin Mohan asked.

"Your Highness, to be honest, this old servant doesn't know either!"

What do you mean you don't know either?

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? That day you didn't even lift the princess's veil before sending her to the cold courtyard, so this old servant never saw what she looked like!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan frowned deeply.

However, a moment later...

He then asked, "Did the princess not have any maids accompanying her when she married into the family?"

"have."

Where are they?

"After the princess was locked in the cold courtyard that day, the maid also left."

"She left? She was a maid who came with the princess as part of her dowry. Why didn't she go to the cold courtyard with the princess?"

"At that time, you said that no one was allowed to visit, and no one was allowed to interfere, so the maid did not follow you into the cold courtyard."

After hearing this, Qin Mohan closed his eyes briefly.

I realized I had made a mistake.

"Qinglong, go to the Duke's mansion and find that maid."

"Yes, Master, I obey. But Master, I don't know which one is the Princess's maid!"

After hearing this, Qin Mohan looked at Butler Wang and asked, "Butler Wang, do you recognize him?"

"Old servant, I vaguely remember."

"Okay, then go there."

"Yes, this old servant will go right away." He followed Steward Wang out the door.

Qinglong sighed and said, "Your Highness, could it be that the Princess Consort has become like this because she was locked up in the cold courtyard by herself?"

Thirteen chimed in, "That should be true. Although people throughout the capital had previously spread rumors that the Princess Consort was stupid, ignorant, and incredibly ugly, no one said she was crazy!"

Moreover, I recall that on the day of the wedding, she entered the manor quietly, unlike the situation today.

Qin Mohan sighed: "In the end, it was I who made the mistake."

"Your Majesty, this cannot be blamed on you. At the time, you also thought that the Princess Consort was one of the Empress and Consort Xuan's people, which is why you directly pulled her into the Cold Courtyard."

“That’s right, Master. You don’t need to blame yourself. The Princess Consort probably got scared by being alone in the Cold Courtyard.” Qinglong chimed in.
