After Xu Heming finished speaking, his heart sank. He didn't want it to be true, but he was also worried that something had really happened to his mother.
As for the letter the guard gave him, Xu Heming didn't open it and just tossed it aside.
"Your Highness, don't you look at the destination? What does this letter say?" Qingsong asked cautiously after looking at the letter.
"No need, wait for news from the capital."
Xu Heming didn't look at the letter again. He didn't trust the messenger, so he wouldn't trust the contents of the letter.
Qingsong read the letter. They always had their own special methods of contacting the capital, but this letter was delivered by someone else.
It certainly raises suspicions.
Qingsong glanced at the letter, and without hesitation, sent a message by carrier pigeon to the capital.
However, this round trip will take time. I wonder how the old princess is doing in the capital.
Xu Heming returned to his room and took out the blueprint that Yao Qisheng had given him.
The drawings look like a topographical map of that area.
There was something written on it that Xu Heming didn't quite understand at first.
Thinking back to what Yao Qisheng said to me back then.
Xu Heming couldn't see anything special about the blueprint.
However, there is one location that is clearly marked.
Could there be something here?
Ever since Xu Qingshi learned that they were about to return to Beijing, he wanted to ask Xu Heming when they would be going back.
However, when he arrived, he didn't see anyone in the house.
There was only one letter, lying alone on the table.
"What is this?" Xu Qingshi opened the letter without thinking, but unfortunately, he didn't recognize the contents.
He only recognized the character '王' (king).
Mo Yu, standing to the side, waved his hand, saying he didn't know either.
"Let's go find the pretty lady," Xu Qingshi thought, missing the old princess.
He wanted to know if the letter was from the old princess, asking him to return to the capital.
"Your Highness, this letter is for the Prince. Is it inappropriate for you to take it?" Mo Yu asked worriedly.
"I'll ask the pretty lady to take a look at it for me, and I'll return it later. This letter must have been written to me by my grandmother." Xu Qingshi wanted to know if his grandmother had anything to say to him in the letter, but he still insisted on his own idea.
Beijing
Granny Luo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the old princess's expression had softened.
Then he looked at Liu Ming and Xiu Hong, who looked rather unwell, and Li Tianyou, who was sitting to the side looking very impatient.
"My dear in-laws, I'm so sorry. I was so worried about my late wife that I neglected you," said Granny Luo to Li Tianyou.
"The old princess is fine, what's a little grievance for me?" Li Tianyou's words were barbed, because this cousin from the royal family actually said that he wanted to harm the old princess.
Thinking of this, Li Tianyou felt a fire burning inside him, with nowhere to vent it.
He originally just wanted to ask the old princess, but news came back from Li'an County. Unexpectedly, he became the murderer.
He had no grudge against the old princess, so why would he want to harm her?
"My dear in-laws, what are you saying? Steward Liu, what's going on?" Granny Luo asked, looking at Liu Ming, who had been frowning and unhappy.
“Granny Luo, Miss Luo said that I poisoned the old princess. When I arrived just now, I heard Xiuzhu's cries and rushed over to check on her. I found that the old princess looked unwell and had vomited blood. She looked like she had been poisoned, so I gave her a poison pill. I didn’t expect that Miss Luo would accuse me, Master Li, Xiuhong, and me of poisoning the old princess without even asking what happened. The old princess’s lip injury was caused by Miss Luo trying to pry the poison pill out.” Liu Ming said, pointing to the injury on the old princess’s lip with a wronged expression.
After hearing Liu Ming's words, Granny Luo looked at Zheng Qiaoshu, who was standing to the side, with a puzzled expression.
"Miss?"
Granny Luo frowned, a feeling nagging at her. Why did Miss Biao seem so afraid that the old princess's poison would be cured?
