The carriage left Dali Temple and exited Shunyi Gate.
Chen Anning said: "It seems that I worry too much."
Xie Xun asked her what she was worrying about with his eyes.
Chen Anning looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "I thought you would pester Mr. Wen to join the investigation team just like you pestered me."
"I didn't expect you didn't ask anything, he didn't answer anything, and it was settled like that."
Xie Xun took a soft pillow and put it on the back of his waist, and said with a smile: "You are so worried that you have neglected the eldest princess's mansion."
"The moment he followed you to Dali Temple, it was decided that he was the one asking me to join the investigation team, not me pestering him to join the investigation team."
"He has proven his ability and I will certainly not refuse."
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows slightly: "Is the situation in the eldest princess's mansion so serious?"
Xie Xun looked at her and asked lightly: "You went to the eldest princess's mansion today. How did they treat you? Are they more kind and enthusiastic than before?"
Chen Anning thought for a while.
From Nanny Li to the eldest princess, and then to Princess Tongchang, she was indeed treated much more kindly than before.
"I have said before that the eldest princess wanted to be a matchmaker for you and Wen Qinsang because she wanted to use your power to overcome the crisis in the eldest princess's house." Xie Xunping said straightforwardly, "Although I intercepted it, but As long as there is a smart person in the eldest princess's palace, you can understand that you are not only a disciple of the miracle doctor, but also the Guangling Palace of Wei, which is most trusted by the emperor."
"As long as they win over you and befriend you, they can gain the trust of the Guangling Palace."
"Gaining the trust of the Guangling Palace is equivalent to gaining the emperor's trust."
"The result is that the so-called crisis in the Princess's Mansion can be resolved naturally."
Chen Anning clicked his tongue: "It's really complicated."
Xie Xun smiled and said: "There are more complicated things."
"After your identity as a disciple of the miracle doctor was exposed, not many people came to you. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
Chen Anning said: "Because of the eldest princess's mansion?"
"Not bad." Xie Xun crossed his arms and said lazily, "These people are waiting to see how the emperor will react to the eldest princess wooing you."
"So, after I got the imperial edict of marriage, I specifically told the emperor not to send anyone to Chen's house to read it out, just because I didn't want these people to disturb you too much. But this kind of thing cannot be hidden from others. After a while, They will still get the news, and they will still go to the Chen family under various names to find you or invite you to various gatherings."
"These are all the troubles caused by the marriage. Are you responsible?" Chen Anning asked.
Xie Xun joked: "How do you want me to be responsible?"
Chen Anning said seriously: "I don't lack anything, I just lack money."
Xie Xun chuckled, closed his eyes and ignored her.
After arriving at Chen's house.
Xie Xun did not leave again.
Chen Anning didn't care about him.
Returned to Qingzhiyuan, washed up and went to sleep.
Early in the morning of the next day, shortly after dawn, Chen Anning was still trapped in her sleep and had not woken up. Qiu, who had come several times yesterday but failed, came over with a few invitations.
Two maids guarding the door stopped her.
Qiu was in a good mood and didn't care about them.
After tilting his head and looking inside with a smile, he took out half a coin, divided it into two equal parts and gave them to them. Then he lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "The emperor granted the marriage to Mr. Xie and the second young lady. Do you all know?"
The two maids held the money and nodded in unison.
Mrs. Qiu was in a better mood. She turned to look at Hengwuyuan and asked, "When was the marriage granted?"
One of the maids replied: "The second day Miss Zhao Er disappeared in Chunhua Pavilion."
"This child didn't say a word to me about such a big thing." Mrs. Qiu muttered dissatisfiedly, then tilted her head and looked inward a few times, "When did she come back yesterday?"
Another maid replied: "He came back at the end of Xu Shi."
"It's so late." Mrs. Qiu looked at the invitation in her hand, "Then let her sleep. It's been hard work following Mr. Xie on investigations lately."
Seeing Mrs. Qiu leaving briskly, the two maids started gossiping about the invitation in her hand.
When Chen Anning woke up, it was already half an hour later.
Hearing He Xiang talk about Qiu's arrival early in the morning, he ordered: "Next time I come, just ask her to leave the invitation. I'm busy these days, so don't bother me."
After smelling the fragrance of lotus, she had just returned from leaving the house after giving orders to the two maids, when Mrs. Qiu came again.
Listening to the words relayed by the maid, she said dissatisfiedly: "This is a banquet invitation sent by the Nanchuan Marquis Mansion, Nanping Marquis Mansion and Youjin Wuwei General He's Mansion. What can be more important than them?"
The two maids remained silent but blocked the door.
Mrs. Qiu did not dare to break in at first. After reluctantly giving them a few invitations, she said without giving up: "Remember to tell the second lady that the banquet at General He's house is in these days, so that she can do whatever it takes." You have to make time to attend, even though the emperor has granted her and Mr. Xie a marriage, there is no harm in making more friends with powerful people!"
After forcing the maid to nod in agreement, Mrs. Qiu muttered and left.
In the house.
Chen Anning looked through the three invitations. Chun Rui and Chuntao were explaining to her the situation of Nanchuan Hou Mansion, Nanping Hou Mansion and General He Mansion.
Except for the prosperity of their heirs, the Nanchuan Marquis Mansion and the Nanping Marquis Mansion are similar to the Kaiyang Marquis Mansion.
Youjinwu Guard is one of the sixteen guards of Nanya. It is stationed south of the palace city. It is mainly responsible for guarding the capital and leading all Zhechong mansions in the world.
The ancestor of General He was one of the famous founding generals of the Wei Dynasty, and he was very famous for a while. It’s just that for some reason, the generations to come are not as good as the previous generation. By the time He Feng arrived, the General's Mansion had already been defeated. It was because the emperor missed his old friendship, and because He Feng was still up to his standards, he found the post of General Youjin Wuwei.
"The eldest son of the Nanchuan Marquis Mansion and the eldest daughter of the Nanping Marquis Mansion were engaged four years ago," Chun Rui added at the end, "Originally, they were supposed to get married in October three years ago, but Nanping Marquis The eldest daughter of the mansion suddenly fell ill for unknown reasons. The imperial physician, doctors and quacks all came to see her, but nothing could be seen."
"The Marquis of Nanchuan and the Marquis of Nanping sent invitations to hold banquets at the same time. It is very likely that they want to invite you to diagnose Miss Huang."
"As for General He's Mansion... they hold banquets almost every month."
Chen Anning threw the invitation aside, "I even declined it for me."
Chuntao put the invitation away and said, "I'm afraid the Nanping Marquis Mansion will not give up."
"Then wait until I'm done." Chen Anning said nonchalantly.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed quickly as Chen Anning continued to develop poison.
This morning.
Qiu, who was unwilling to give up, came again.
The banquet at General He's mansion will begin in two days.
Chen Anning gave her a few cold warnings, sent her away, and went to Hengwuyuan.
Wen Qinsang, Xu Zan, and Wen Baolin have all arrived secretly.
Breakfast in Zuixianlou has also been placed on the table.
As soon as Chen Anning arrived, several people stood up and sat at the table.
After breakfast and a cup of tea, Xu Zan cleared his throat and announced: "We have already found out the whereabouts of Young Master Wei Qi, and sent out letters seeking to use his identity. Su Changping is also here today. Contact the person in charge of transporting him to the underground Colosseum early in the morning, and we can take action tonight!"
