Chapter 530 Three Days
An ordinary carriage was parked in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion.
Chen Wan was wearing an ordinary dress with a veil covering her face, while Xie Jingyu was wearing an inconspicuous brocade robe and a mask.
Just looking at their attire, no one could guess their identities, but when Young Master Zhao went to greet them at the back door, the servants in the Zhao Mansion knew that the visitors were of noble status.
But why did he enter the Zhao Mansion through the back door...
The maids and servants looked around frequently, but Young Master Zhao glanced at them and they immediately scattered.
Young Master Zhao led Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu towards the courtyard where he lived.
When Lady Yaoguang was unconscious, there were several secret guards sent by Xie Jingyu in Young Master Zhao's courtyard. After Lady Yaoguang woke up, Xie Jingyu sent a few more secret guards just in case.
The key to overthrowing Queen Song and Xiao Yun cannot afford any mistakes.
If Xie Jingyu hadn't been afraid that there were spies from other prefectures in Prince Jingbei's Mansion, he would have packed up Young Master Zhao and Princess Yaoguang and brought them back to Prince Jingbei's Mansion.
As he stepped into the room, Chen Wan saw the pale-faced Yaoguang County Master leaning on the large welcoming pillow.
real.
If she hadn’t known that this was the Yaoguang County Master, Shen Wan wouldn’t have recognized her.
She was so emaciated that her bones were visible. She was completely different from the flamboyant and somewhat domineering Lady Yaoguang whom she met at Princess Shunyang's mansion that day.
Not only did he lose weight, but his spirits also became weak.
He has been in a coma for so many days and can only be fed with some thin porridge. It would be strange if he didn't lose weight.
When she saw someone coming in, Yaoguang County Lady's eyes moved. Chen Wan was dressed casually and was wearing a veil, but she still recognized Chen Wan at a glance.
The moment she recognized Chen Wan, tears welled up in her eyes.
From Zhao Yunkuo, Princess Yaoguang learned that the people who saved her were Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu. She didn't expect Shen Wan to go to the Shunyang Princess's residence to investigate Queen Song. She was afraid that Shen Wan would harm Queen Song, so she sent people to keep an eye on her. Fearing that one maidservant couldn't keep an eye on her, she even sent two...
Not only did Chen Wan not get angry with her, she also saved her life. Yaoguang County Master was so upset that she couldn't speak.
Her own people killed her mother, killed her.
But the enemy saved her.
Shen Wan did not hide it from her. She told her that she asked Queen Song to go to Princess Shunyang's mansion to investigate Prince Jin's case, but she and the Queen Mother did not believe it.
Mother was only half-believing and half-doubting. Princess Yaoguang regretted hearing what Shen Wan said in the palace. If she hadn't threatened Shen Wan and told Mother and the Queen Mother, Mother wouldn't have died...
Yaoguang County Lady burst into tears.
Shen Wan said, "Don't cry."
Lady Yaoguang couldn't stop crying.
Chen Wan knew that she was sad. The eldest prince consort and Princess Qiyang had only one daughter, County Lady Yaoguang. The eldest prince consort had been missing for several years, and now Princess Qiyang was gone too. County Lady Yaoguang didn't even have a brother or sister. She only had the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother couldn't bear the news of Princess Qi Yang's murder. Her hair turned white overnight. She was afraid that she wouldn't live long.
Chen Wan asked, "Who killed your mother, Princess Qiyang? Did you see anything that day?"
Yaoguang County Lady did not answer any of the two questions in a row. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed.
However, she was so weak that she could hardly speak, and her knees were so weak that she couldn't even support her body. Even though Chen Wan helped her in time, Yaoguang County Lady still fell to the ground.
Zhao Yunkuo wanted to help her, but he couldn't because he was standing far away.
When he heard the sound of his knees hitting the ground, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, but no one saw it.
Shen Wan wanted to help Yaoguang County Master up, but Yaoguang County Master said, "I want to see the emperor!"
Chen Wan didn't bring any maids with her, so she didn't have the strength to lift up County Lady Yaoguang. Xie Jingyu looked at Zhao Yunkuo, and Zhao Yunkuo stepped forward and helped County Lady Yaoguang up.
Xie Jingyu asked Zhao Yunkuo, "Can the Yaoguang County Lady enter the palace?"
Zhao Yunkuo said, "He's too weak. I'm afraid he won't be able to speak much after the bumpy ride into the palace. It would be best if he could rest for two days..."
But this is not his decision.
"I'll send someone to pick her up in three days."
Shen Wan wanted to know why Prince Qing killed Princess Qi Yang, but Princess Yaoguang was so weak that Shen Wan couldn't bear to force her. She would know when Princess Yaoguang entered the palace to see the emperor.
Chen Wan and Princess Yaoguang didn't have much friendship, and their interactions were unpleasant, so she didn't stay long. She asked Zhao Yunkuo to take good care of Princess Yaoguang, and she and Xie Jingyu said goodbye.
When they returned to Prince Jingbei's Mansion and just got off the carriage, they were told by the gatekeeper that after they left the mansion today, Yun came to the mansion.
It's such a coincidence that I have to come when she is not around.
Xie Jingyu said, "I will accompany you back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion tomorrow."
Shen Wan didn't plan to go back tomorrow, but since Xie Jingyu said so, she decided to go back.
The two of them strolled back to the inner courtyard. Just as they reached the outside of Zhaolanxuan, the Fourth Madam came over.
"Fourth Aunt."
Shen Wan called out.
The Fourth Lady was a little surprised at what Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu were wearing, but she didn't ask. She smiled and said, "Yao'er is already married. I've discussed it with your Fourth Uncle, and we're moving out of the palace in the next few days..."
Shen Wan didn’t think there was any hindrance in the fourth room staying, but the matter of moving was decided by the prince and princess before.
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyu, and Xie Jingyu said, "Fourth uncle and fourth aunt should stay in the palace for a few more days."
The fourth wife didn't want to move either, but now that Xie Zhiyao was married, there was no reason for the fourth wife to stay in the Jingbei Palace anymore.
She was already very content that she could stay for so many more days and that her daughter could marry out of the Jingbei Palace.
The Fourth Lady said, "We have to move eventually. Fortunately, the two residences are close to each other, so it's convenient for travel."
Xie Jingyu didn't try to persuade her, "I will discuss this with my fourth uncle."
The fourth lady nodded, "Alright."
Shen Wan glanced at Xie Jingyu.
Princess Yaoguang has woken up. She must have gone to the emperor to avenge Princess Qiyang. After overthrowing Xiao Yun, Xie Jingyu will leave Beijing to find the princess.
He was afraid that he would have to leave Beijing and would be worried about leaving her and the two children in the Jingbei Palace, so he hoped that the Fourth Master and the Fourth Mistress could take care of her.
Even though the four families moved closer, it was still not as convenient as staying in the same house.
Xie Jingyu is already preparing to leave Beijing...
Although I knew this day would come, I didn't expect it to come so soon. The feeling of parting crept into my heart, diluting the joy of getting revenge for my past life.
Chen Wan and Xie Jingyu were both tacitly aware of this, and neither of them mentioned it.
In the yard, Shanhu Yinchuan was playing with the two children. When she saw Chen Wan coming back, she told him that Yun had come and played with the two children for a while, and then said, "Madam said she just came to see us, nothing serious, and asked the Crown Prince's Consort to take good care of the young master and young lady, and they don't need to go back to the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion."
Originally, Chen Wan wanted to wait until the matter of Yaoguang County Master was resolved before going back, but Yun said there was no need to go back, so Chen Wan did not go back.
But these three days were extremely tormenting for Chen Wanguo.
Normally three days would pass in the blink of an eye, but these three days felt exceptionally long.
Sitting on the swing, Chen Wan watched the gorgeous sunset being swallowed up by darkness bit by bit.
Shen Wan had a premonition.
tomorrow……
It will definitely shock the government and the public.
