Everyone who went with him this time was a suspect, so they were all actively trying to find out information. Yinzhen didn't plan to make it public, but he could still leak some information to Dahasu.
So I learned from Dahasu that this matter might be related to Yuan Hong. Since he was able to speak inappropriately in front of the emperor for Yuan Hong's sake, it's no wonder that Dahasu dotes on his concubine Yuan Hong.
Therefore, he was in a dilemma. He naturally knew the importance of this matter. If the news was true, then the emperor's whereabouts had been leaked to Yuan Hong, and his fate was predictable.
As Yuan Hong's own sister, Aunt Yuan would naturally be in a good position. The best way would be to get Aunt Yuan out of his backyard before this matter was settled. But to be honest, he was a little reluctant.
Just as Dahasu was struggling with this decision, the gatekeeper came to report: "Master, Consort Yuan has personally made chicken soup and brought it to you."
Dahasu was surprised to see Aunt Yuan return at this moment. After thinking for a moment, Dahasu said, "Let Aunt Yuan come in!"
Aunt Yuan was not particularly tall. She wore a plain-colored dress and had light makeup on her face, making her look petite and delicate, which was very endearing.
The moment Dahasu saw Aunt Yuan, his heart began to flutter involuntarily; Dahasu truly loved Aunt Yuan.
"Why did Ping'er come here?"
Aunt Yuan, also known as Yuan Ping, put down the tray of chicken soup she was holding, glared at Dahasu, and said with a smile, "Does Master not want me to come?"
Dahasu took Yuan Yiniang's hand and made her sit on his lap, saying, "Nothing of the sort. You usually dislike coming to Master's study the most."
Concubine Yuan wrapped her arms around Dahasu's neck, rested her head on Dahasu's chest, and said in a soft and charming voice, "I've noticed that you haven't had much of an appetite these past two days, and it pains me to see you so preoccupied with official duties that you neglect your health. You seem indifferent, but seeing you not taking care of yourself like this, my heart aches so much!"
Dahasu was immediately moved, thinking to himself, "What a wonderful woman, she knows how to think of me."
He has now completely forgotten about his wife, who has served him for most of his life in the capital.
There's a story behind Dahasu's meeting with this concubine. Dahasu's wife was a perfect match for him in terms of social status and was very virtuous. Dahasu didn't think much of it when they got married, as most wives in other families are like that.
The couple treated each other with respect, and their lives were relatively peaceful.
Until he met Yuan Ping by chance, things got out of control. At first, it was just a chance encounter, but later, in order to get Yuan Ping to agree to join his household, he took the initiative to help Yuan Hong in his official career, and finally brought Yuan Ping into his household.
He already has a wife and children. Although he doesn't like concubines, they have already been brought into the household, so he won't cause trouble for them, since there were already concubines in the household before.
As a result, even if she didn't cause trouble, Aunt Yuan was still not satisfied! Relying on her favor with Dahasu, she would always try to sow discord between him and Dahasu. Dahasu's wife was no pushover either, and naturally she taught her a lesson. And what happened? She complained to Dahasu, and Dahasu's wife naturally got a scolding.
Then Dahasu's wife realized that Dahasu had probably been bewitched by Yuanping.
Then things started to get really chaotic in the mansion.
The result of the struggle between the two was naturally that Consort Yuan won. It's not that Consort Yuan was particularly clever; women in the inner quarters rely on their husbands' favor. If the husband's heart is not with her, no matter how clever her methods are, it's useless.
Aunt Yuan was indeed very capable, especially in her methods with men. Before Aunt Yuan came into his life, Dahasu lived a very orderly life. He couldn't resist Aunt Yuan's many temptations and naturally favored her.
Dahasu: "I'm already very happy that you're here. It hurts my hands to cook chicken soup myself, and I can't bear to let your tender little hands touch me."
Aunt Yuan leaned against Dahasu, her voice becoming increasingly charming: "Master, I just want to cook soup for you myself. I enjoy serving you."
Dahasu kissed Aunt Yuan on the cheek, looking very happy, and said, "My Ping'er is truly a lovely girl! How can I possibly reward you?"
Concubine Yuan wrapped her arms around Dahasu's neck, brought her mouth close to Dahasu's ear, and said in a subtly seductive voice, "I don't want any reward. If you'd like, how about you give yourself to me?"
Dahasu reacted instantly, and the servant outside the door, upon hearing the sounds from the study, blushed slightly but showed no surprise, indicating that this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.
When Aunt Yuan arrived, the sun was still high in the sky, but by the time she and Dahasu came out of the study, it was already completely dark.
That night, Dahasu held Yuan Yiniang in his arms as they slept, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to part with Yuan Yiniang, but at the same time, he didn't dare to take any risks. Who knew how the Emperor would treat Yuan Hong?
Having not slept all night, and before Aunt Yuan had even woken up the next day, Dahasu, with dark circles under his eyes, came to the study and gave some instructions.
After Aunt Yuan woke up, she asked, "Yun'er, when did Master leave?"
"Reporting to Master, the master left just as dawn broke this morning."
Concubine Yuan was somewhat surprised: "But did His Majesty give any instructions? Why did you get up so early, sir?" During this southern tour, there were times when it was not necessary to get up particularly early or attend court in a proper manner.
Yun'er really didn't know: "This servant doesn't know. Perhaps this servant should ask Master's servant."
