"Maybe the third lady still can't let it go." Chen Hengyu.
"How dare she let it go?" Mrs. Peng felt sorry for her sister, but was also angry at her lack of self-control. "Has Si Qi ever shown any concern for her now, even once? Now that Liu Zhiyue has given birth to a son, she's firmly established in the Si family. If she still has any inappropriate thoughts, her life will be truly ruined."
Love is a difficult word to describe. Chen Heng doesn't like people who are in love, but a woman who is so steadfast in love is admirable. However, showing off her feelings like this is a sign of being criticized.
But if you think about it carefully, Peng and Si Qi knew each other when they were young, and their families were almost married. For a young girl, how could she easily take back her heart after making up her mind? Especially in such a situation where she couldn't get married, how many people in this world could handle it decisively?
In mid-May, good news came again. The prince had taken back two more counties. Now Wanzhou only had Da County left, an isolated place that was difficult to attack but easy to defend.
Everyone is waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back and recapture Wanzhou.
Xie Jian hadn't returned for two days, and Chen Heng had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that the emperor was dying?
She was going to purchase some goods today, so she was waiting at the door of Chen Heng's house. When Hu Ya pulled out the carriage, an inconspicuous carriage stopped in front of her.
Two women in ordinary clothes came out, and one of them took out a palace card and said, "Greetings, Madam Xie. I am the personal nanny of the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess invites you to the palace to relieve her boredom."
Shen Heng recognized these two people, they were indeed the Crown Princess's attendants: "Two maids, I'm afraid it's not convenient today."
"The Crown Princess said that Madam Xie is not available, and Madam Xia is also not available."
Shen Heng's face darkened. This meant she had to be invited. Looking at the two maids, disguised as they were, it seemed the situation in the palace was tense. Why would the Crown Princess invite her to come and relieve her boredom at this time? Her mind raced, and the most likely possibility was that she was being used to manipulate Xie Jian.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Hu Ya pulled the carriage out of the small door, saw the scene in front of the main gate, and ran over quickly.
Seeing the tiger fangs, Chen Heng breathed a sigh of relief: "The Crown Princess invited me to the palace to relieve my boredom. I will be back soon."
Hu Ya glanced coldly at the nanny next to him, and then said to Shen Hengyu: "Little one knows."
The carriage did not go directly into the palace, but instead stopped at an inconspicuous inn. There, Shen Heng was forced to change into a palace maid's outfit. The two maids also changed back into palace clothes and got on the palace carriage before entering the palace.
Through the fluttering curtains, Shen Heng could see that the number of guards outside the palace had increased.
The two maids were a little surprised that Madam Xie was so quiet, but it also made them feel relieved. If she made a fuss, it would be troublesome.
The carriage stopped at the main gate of the East Palace.
The two maids did not take Shen Heng into the East Palace. They entered a garden, and then went out of a round gate a few feet away to a courtyard.
This is not the harem, but one of the imperial gardens in the outer palace. It has rockery and jade stones, small bridges and flowing water, and corridors and pavilions. It is quite beautiful.
Ever since she had studied the Crown Prince's Zhuyou technique last time, Chen Heng discovered that she was very familiar with several places in the Imperial Palace, and this Imperial Garden in front of her was one of them.
The Crown Princess sat in the pavilion and drank tea.
"Crown Princess, Madam Xie is here." The nanny brought Shen Heng into the pavilion.
"Thank you, Madam. I'm sorry for being so rude today." The Crown Princess didn't invite him to sit down. She put down her teacup and smiled at Chen Heng. "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I just want you to come and enjoy the flowers in this garden."
