Chapter 368 Yixiu 46
Crackling——
The candle wick suddenly exploded, making a crisp sound, which scared Song who was brainstorming.
She quickly put away her thoughts of running away, and her eyes gradually focused and met Yixiu's expression at the moment.
The face of Nara Concubine was filled with the kind and gentle smile that she was most familiar with. The corners of her mouth were raised just right, and she looked very dignified.
The dim light in the house is a warm orange-red, which makes half of Concubine Jin's face look more gentle and peaceful. It has a charm of peaceful times that makes people linger in the aftertaste.
But the other half also exuded a bit of ghostly evil spirit, which made Song feel a little uneasy.
"It's late, Song Gege, you should go back and rest early. Although this story is interesting, it is fake after all. Song Gege, don't get too obsessed with it."
Yixiu suddenly spoke, without saying or mentioning anything. It seemed as if she had really come here just to read a storybook.
Song walked out of the yard in a daze. She glanced at the silent Zhixinzhai and unconsciously grasped the gourd tightly. "Let's go back quickly. I'm so scared."
call--
Once the candles in the room were extinguished, Zhixinzhai seemed to be no different from every night before.
For the next half month, in the eyes of those who did not know the inside story, everything in the mansion was the same as before, until the prince came back and went to Yixiuyuan first.
"Has everything been peaceful in the mansion since Master left?"
Yinzhen strode in, casually took off his cloak and threw it to Su Peisheng, then changed into casual clothes and sat down on the kang with his legs crossed. After taking a breath, he hurriedly asked. It was obvious that he had other things to do, so he came to Yixiu to check in. If there was nothing else, he would go back to the front yard.
Unfortunately, I’m afraid he won’t be able to get what he wants this time.
Yixiu glanced at him awkwardly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong? Did something happen in the mansion? Is Fu Jin unwell? Or did something happen to Nian?"
Yinzhen paused with his hand holding the ring on his finger, and his originally good mood was made uneasy by Yixiu's expression.
"My elder sister is still the same, but my younger sister..." Yixiu paused before saying softly, "She is young and impatient, and she has lost her child, so she is having trouble coming to terms with it."
"On the third day after Master left, she took people to Wangyue Pavilion and gave Qi Gege a dose of red flowers."
Yinzhen lowered his eyes, with no expression on his face, sitting there like a sculpture, seemingly not realizing what Yixiu meant.
Yixiu didn't wait for him to ask before continuing, "This matter is originally my fault. Master entrusted me with the management of the mansion, but I neglected the east side and failed to discover it in time. I have betrayed Master's trust."
"This isn't your fault. Nian clearly harbored deep resentment and had been plotting this for a long time. As soon as I left, she went to Wangyue Pavilion with the poison. It was clear she had been prepared."
Yinzhen knew it well, and given Nian's personality, he wasn't particularly surprised that she would do such a thing. Furthermore, Yixiu lived to the west, and Fu Jin lived to the east. Even if Fu Jin was no longer in charge, he couldn't get too involved out of respect for her.
Moreover, seeing that Yixiu was just embarrassed but not panicked, it could be seen that the matter had not become a big deal. To this point, Yinzhen was already quite satisfied.
"How is Qi's health?" After all, she was working for him, and he didn't want her to end up in such a bad situation.
"That's a huge amount of safflower. I'm afraid I'll have to take this medicine from now on."
"Then let her take good care of herself. The mansion doesn't need her medicine."
After giving his instructions casually, Yinzhen stood up and left, rushing into the front yard, where he was busy.
He only took a break in the middle and took back the housekeeper's power from Nian on the pretext that she still needed to recuperate, and then tactfully locked her up in Laiyi Hall.
All matters in the mansion naturally fell on Yixiu's head. Now the office for managing the rear house was gradually changed from the conference hall on the south side of the garden to Yixiu's Chixinzhai. After everyone had gotten used to it for a month, Nian finally got the order from the prince that "everything is safe" and she could go out for a walk. At this time, it was the Lunar New Year.
This November, the crown prince was deposed again, and for the time being, it seems the emperor has no intention of reinstating him. At such a sensitive juncture, everyone naturally has to tuck their tails between their legs and wait for the signals from those above them.
Especially since the crown prince was deposed and the emperor fell ill, there were probably some sequelae left. The old emperor's health has obviously been worse than before in recent years, and his temperament has become more and more eccentric.
When the crown prince was deposed for the second time this time, it was said that the crown prince had sent a letter. I don't know what the content of the letter was, but the emperor fell ill that night after reading it. Although he was able to get up the next day, his complexion was really bad.
This was vaguely revealed to Yixiu by the princes including Yinzhen after they came back from visiting.
Therefore, everyone was particularly low-key during the Chinese New Year this year, so as not to attract the emperor's attention.
The emperor himself was aware of this. As soon as spring arrived and he felt better, he began to signal to his subordinates that things were thawing. He first expressed concern for the health of his ministers, then inquired about the studies of several of his grandchildren, and finally gave a few more women to his sons who had few children.
Our Prince Yong is naturally on the list, ranking second with two sons and one daughter. Everyone knows who is first.
So there were two new people in the mansion, the beautiful and cheerful Lu Gege Lu Yingfeng and the petite and beautiful Cao Gege, Cao Qinmo.
The two of them were assigned to the Fuxiao Pavilion at the end of the west side. Since the concubine had disappeared long ago, the housekeeper Yixiu naturally did not bother to make things difficult for them. She just briefly explained the rules of the mansion when she asked someone to give them gifts according to the rules.
The arrival of the newcomer passed without a single commotion. After all, the prince had entered the backyard seven times in the past three or four months, and except for Nian, all the other old people had basically laid down.
There is another thing that deserves more attention.
On the third day after the newlyweds entered the mansion, good news came from Baifulou. Geng was finally pregnant. Counting the days, it was the only time among those seven times.
Yinzhen was very satisfied with the news. Geng's appearance and personality were quite to his liking. Besides, he did not have many children. To be precise, those women had very few pregnancies. It was always a happy thing to have another healthy child.
Not to mention Yixiu. Her Honghui is already married, and she hopes that all the people in the back house can have a child.
"The allowance should be two points higher than Mrs. Fei's. Tell her to take good care of herself these days. After all, she has waited for three months."
Yixiu knew that Geng was a smart person and would naturally understand what she meant.
Don't run around when you're pregnant. It would be a small matter if you run into Concubine Nian and get upset with her, but it would be even worse if you caught her eye and made her crazy.
