The next morning, the emperor took Su Qiqi, Mo Yunchi and Lu Hongxuan out of the palace and went to the General Zhenbei's Mansion.
The ancestral hall was a complete mess, with charred beams, half of the roof hollow, and some broken tiles dangling precariously. It was so dangerous that no one dared to approach.
A group of people stood outside the ancestral hall and burned incense.
The emperor pondered for a while.
After a moment, he said bluntly: "I'm afraid this fire is not a natural disaster."
"I've checked. There's a smell of alcohol in the ancestral hall. Apparently, someone deliberately used it to start a fire. Also, the wall outside the mansion has been smeared with nectar. There are several beehives not far away. The bees landed on the wall to eat the honey, which is how the writing formed."
Coral reported the truth, feeling a little uneasy.
Ever since she took over the Zhenbei General's Mansion, she has been working diligently and wholeheartedly. She never expected something like this to happen.
What is even more strange is that there are so many courtyards in the Zhenbei General’s Mansion, but the villain just burned down the ancestral hall without any bias.
They didn't steal any money or hurt anyone, they just destroyed the tablets of General Zhenbei and Lady Weiguo.
Could it be... that all this was done by the enemies of General Zhenbei and Lady Weiguo?
But why did they attract bees to form the four words "I miss my son so much"?
Do you still want to harm Princess Chaoyang?
Coral thought about it over and over again, but still didn't quite understand the intentions of those evil people.
The emperor sighed deeply and asked, "Have the servants on duty that night been checked? What about the guards patrolling outside? Have they spotted any suspicious individuals?"
Shanhu blamed herself a little: "I haven't found any other clues yet."
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask people from the Dali Temple to come and investigate?" Zhao Xu suggested.
The emperor said, "I have my own arrangements for this. Zhao Xu, have someone find two pieces of fine redwood and make new tablets for General Zhenbei and Lady Weiguo."
"I obey your order." Zhao Xu replied.
The emperor then instructed Shanhu, "This ancestral hall must be repaired as soon as possible. Also, in a few days, the high monks from the Wanfo Temple will come to perform a ritual. Tell the servants to prepare well."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
"other……"
The emperor was about to say something when he felt a slight pain and soreness in his lower abdomen.
Then, my stomach started to rumble, as if water was sloshing around.
This... seems to be a sign of diarrhea.
I didn't have breakfast today and just drank two cups of tea. Why do I have diarrhea?
The demands of his body made him unable to endure, let alone think too much.
"Forget it, go and do your own things."
The emperor hurriedly said something and ran to the backyard.
Zhao Xu saw this and quickly chased after him: "Your Majesty, are you alright? Let me help you."
"Father, where are you going?" Lu Hongxuan also wanted to catch up.
The emperor held his stomach and endured the discomfort, gritted his teeth and said to Lu Hongxuan: "It has nothing to do with you, don't ask too much. Play by yourself, don't fall."
"Huh?" Lu Hongxuan grumbled in frustration, "How strange! I'm worried, but I can't even ask a question?"
"The emperor must have something urgent to do. Your Highness the Third Prince, the weeping crabapples in the front yard are in full bloom, which is pleasing to the eye. There are also turtles and koi in the small pond next to the pavilion, which are very cute. How about I take you there to see them?" Coral suggested.
Lu Hongxuan shook his head: "Don't bother, go ahead and do your work."
"Then please tell the servants if you have anything to say. I will take my leave now."
Coral knelt down and saluted, then turned and left.
Lu Hongxuan looked at Hongye and said, "Qiqi said she missed home earlier. Now that she's finally back, why don't you take her out for a walk? It's a good opportunity for us to go and have a look around too."
Hongye was flattered and grateful: "Thank you, Your Highness the Third Prince."
Su Qiqi, who was in a daze, opened her eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, then she was about to cry: [Hmm? Missing home?]
[My home is not in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, my home is in China! ]
[Oh, I really miss my phone, computer, air conditioner, and Xiao Ai classmate. I also really miss my fried chicken, cola, barbecue, hot pot, and sticky bean buns...]
China? Which country is China? Why haven't I heard of it?
What would happen if Qiqi went to China? And would she come back after going to China?
A hand chicken? Is that a little chicken you hold in your hand and play with? Qiqi, such a cute and well-behaved little baby, actually has this strange habit?
Will the chicken smell bad if I put it in my hand? Oh, never mind. Since Qiqi likes hand chickens, I will find a way to get her one.
And what is a head pad? Something you put under your head? A pillow?
"What are you thinking about? Let's go."
Mo Yunchi's voice broke Lu Hongxuan's meditation.
When Lu Hongxuan came to his senses, he found that Hongye was already carrying Su Qiqi and walking towards the south yard.
"Follow me."
Mo Yunchi grabbed Lu Hongxuan's sleeve and quickly chased after Hongye.
"Princess, this is Qinse Garden. The general and his wife lived here during their lifetime, and you were also born here. By the way, the general himself named this Qinse Garden, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between the two and unwavering love."
"By the way, the big swing over there was built by the general for his wife. The small swing next to the big swing was built by his wife for you. The general loves his wife very much, and his wife loves you very much."
"My wife loves pears, so the general personally planted two pear trees in Qinse Garden. Unfortunately, pear trees grow slowly. They only bloomed for the first time this year, and I don't know if they will bear fruit."
"Look, this white flower is so pretty. Does the princess like it?"
Hongye chattered softly, introducing everything in the mansion to Su Qiqi, and teased her from time to time.
