Fei Wan did not gain nothing during her time in the palace. Although Pei Xiuyan restricted her from leaving the palace, she was still able to summon others.
She mentioned this matter to Liu Ruyun, the eldest daughter of the Liu family. Liu Ruyun did not show any intention of rejection, and even asked someone to send all of Liu Xiaoshuang's remaining belongings to the palace without leaving out a single one.
If Liu Xiaoshuang hadn't been able to move in the room she lived in before getting married, she would have acted as if she wanted to move this yard as well, fearing that if anything was left behind, Fei Wan would come looking for her again.
Thinking of Liu Ruyun's frightened expression at that time, Fei Wan's mouth twitched slightly. If she ever called a horse a zebra, the noble ladies in the capital would probably agree with her.
How does Fei Wan feel about doing whatever he wants by relying on his power?
In one word, awesome.
Most of the valuable items in Liu Xiaoshuang's house had been taken away. All that was left were the poems she had written to pass the time and the tonics she had not finished taking. Therefore, the things Liu Ruyun sent were not many.
Back then, Liu Xiaoshuang was not only the most beautiful woman in the capital, but also the most talented woman, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It would not be surprising that all the princes wanted to marry her, but she chose to marry the prime minister.
Logically, there would be more clues in the old Prime Minister's Mansion, but Liu Xiaoshuang's courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion had suffered a fire, and the fire took away everything that was left.
Whether the flood occurred accidentally due to dry weather or someone deliberately destroyed the evidence is unknown.
Fei Wan originally opened Liu Xiaoshuang's poems with the mentality of giving it a try, but when she turned to the last poem, she was shocked.
After checking the remaining ingredients of the tonic, I almost understood the whole story.
The truth came out too quickly, but no one doubted the cause of Liu Xiaoshuang's death at that time, so naturally no one bothered to look through these lost things.
There was one more thing she needed to verify.
…
Compared with the palace I visited before, the palace of the Empress Dowager, the former Empress Dowager, was much quieter.
Fei Wan stood in front of the palace gate, and no one around him stepped in.
This time it was not the Grand Empress Dowager who invited her, but she came to visit specially, so naturally she had to inform the insiders.
After a while, the locked palace door opened a crack and a palace maid stepped out.
In Feiwan's memory, this was the personal maidservant of the Empress Dowager.
Given Fei Wan's status, the maid's attitude was impeccable. She lowered her eyes and replied softly, "Miss Luo, the Empress Dowager is resting right now. Please come back another day."
Fei Wan didn't say anything, but Sang Xue beside her murmured in surprise, "It's past nap time now. Normally, the Grand Empress Dowager would see the young lady when she comes, so why didn't she see her this time?"
"I think she's guilty."
Fei Wan seemed to be smiling. Since Pei Xiuyan ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager had never looked for her.
To her, Fei Wan was of no use at all.
Not to mention... Pei Xiuyan made such a big move after he ascended the throne, and basically cleared out all the forces in the court. Fei Wan was related to Pei Xiuyan, so it would be strange if she didn't hate Fei Wan to death now.
"Tell her that if she doesn't want her actions to be written into a story and made public, to be cursed by the world, then get out of here immediately."
The palace maid obviously knew the secret of that year. Her face changed and she hurried to ask her master for instructions.
Sure enough, the door to the back hall opened after a while.
Fei Wan looked up at the plaque of the palace, which was called Cining Palace. It was said that the Empress Dowager was kind-hearted and often went to the temple to pray for blessings, and even chanted scriptures in the Buddhist temple every day to pray for the people.
But Fei Wan felt that it was not because he was kind-hearted, but because he was afraid that Liu Xiaoshuang's wronged ghost would come to claim his life.
