"Your Highness, you have been confined to the cold courtyard for the past few years. It must have been very hard on you."
After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng lowered the curtain, turned to look at Granny Hua, and smiled: "No, I feel quite at ease."
"No matter how comfortable it is, it can't compare to being outside! This old servant has thought about it carefully and realized that we haven't been able to take care of you in the past few years. We are truly ashamed!"
“Granny Hua was kind. Now that the matter is over and Qin Mohan has explained, I don’t want to pursue the matter further.”
"Thank you for your understanding and kindness, Your Highness."
"Granny Hua, you're an old hand in the Prince's mansion, aren't you?"
"Yes, this old servant was originally a maidservant by Consort Rong's side..."
"Consort Rong? You mean, Qin Mohan's mother?"
"That's right, that's right. This old servant served Her Highness in the palace until Her Highness passed away, after which this old servant came to the Prince's residence to serve the Prince."

"That's right."
"So you're saying she's always had a heart problem?"

"Always been fine? Never had any heart problems?"
"Yes."
"This is impossible! There was no underlying heart condition, how could someone suddenly have a heart attack out of nowhere?"
"Therefore, this old servant suspects that Your Highness was murdered."
After listening, Ye Qingcheng nodded: "I agree with your guess. Can you guess who did it?"
"This old servant dares not speculate, but this old servant absolutely does not believe that Her Majesty would suddenly die of illness."
"Hmm! What about Qin Mohan? What's his opinion?"
"Of course the prince didn't believe it either, so ever since he became sensible, he has been very strict with himself. In order to make himself stronger, he volunteered to join the army at the age of twelve."
"I see."
Speaking of which...
We've arrived at the Duke's mansion.
