Bei Menlin has been gone for half a month, and has only sent two letters during that time.
Yi Mu wasn't worried about anything happening to him, after all, he was the protagonist of this book and wouldn't die easily.
It's a bit strange that he went south to investigate but didn't mention it to Yi Mu in his letter.
The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven will take place in three days. In the meantime, the issues concerning Sixteen, Gu Huai, and the Rouran princess will also be resolved.
It's quite unbelievable, but the Rouran princess didn't truly love Gu Huai; she loved Sixteen.
The princess ate and lived with Sixteen every day, and Sixteen was also very beautiful.
On her very first day there, the princess repeatedly exclaimed how beautiful Sixteen was.
The Rouran people were generally tall and strong. The royal family had only one princess; the rest were all princes.
The princess grew up surrounded by men and had seen many unpleasant men. When she suddenly saw Sixteen, she was overjoyed.
Sixteen has a good personality, but she's not pretentious. The more the princess spends with her, the more she likes her.
The reason she said she wanted to marry Gu Huai was that if she couldn't be Sixteen's sweetheart in this life, then she would spend her whole life with her.
After the Empress learned the whole story, she found it both absurd and funny.
Before she got married, she had several close girlfriends, but none of them had the same feelings for the princess.
The Empress secretly reported the matter to the Emperor and discussed with him what to do.
Yi Mu felt that this ancient society was even more open than modern society.
The princess certainly cannot marry Gu Huai along with the sixteenth prince, but neither Yi Mu nor the empress can handle this matter.
The one who tied the knot must untie it; Sixteen must explain this matter clearly to the princess himself.
While the Empress summoned the Sixteenth Prince and the Princess to the palace, the Marquis of Xinyang suddenly died at home.
Marquis of Xinyang was Beimen Lin's biological father.
When Yi Mu learned of this news, he was greatly shocked and personally went to the mansion to offer sacrifices.
The emperor's personal visit was an immense honor for the Marquis's family.
The grandmother of the Marquis's family, who was seventy years old, came out to greet them personally.
Yi Mu felt that the sudden death of the Marquis of Xinyang was very strange.
After dealing with the whole family, he took the opportunity of the sacrificial ceremony to take a look at the appearance of the Marquis of Xinyang.
His face was very calm, and he was neatly dressed. He put his hands together in front of his abdomen, showing neither sadness nor joy.
Yi Mu scrutinized the Marquis of Xinyang again and again, and just when he was about to give up, he noticed a red thread on the Marquis's neck.
It's an extremely thin, faint red line that you wouldn't notice unless you looked closely.
The thread was stuck to the ravaged skin, and if you looked closely, you could see fine powder around the red thread.
This red thread is probably not an ordinary silk thread at all; it is something that took the life of the Marquis of Xinyang.
Looking at the women in the Marquis's mansion, they were all crying like children, with the wife of the Marquis of Xinyang crying the most.
This woman was strong-willed throughout her life, and she refused to let her husband marry. She held a prestigious position in the Marquis's household for over twenty years, enjoying unparalleled status.
But now she was crying her eyes out, her snot and tears streaming down her face, completely losing any semblance of her dignified demeanor.
Yi Mu still remembers that she was the culprit who ruined the reunion between Marquis Xinyang and his son Beimen Lin.
The plot does not explicitly state the reason for the death of the Marquis of Xinyang.
Although Yi Mu knew that his death was suspicious, his status left him with no right to say anything.
He stood in front of the coffin and never left, which attracted the attention of the servants.
A thin, dark-skinned servant stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, a simple meal has been prepared in the mansion. Please move to the main hall."
At this juncture, what kind of alcohol should we drink?
A thought flashed through Yi Mu's mind.
Suddenly a disheveled child rushed up and bumped into him hard.
Offending the emperor is a serious crime.
Before Yi Mu could say anything, the guards of the Marquis's mansion and Yi Mu's confidants swarmed forward and pinned the child to the ground.
