After waking up refreshed, washing and eating, she took the carriage out again without waiting for Mrs. Qiu to come over.
This time, she went to the eldest princess's mansion.
During the busy month of Hepingfang, she did not perform any acupuncture on the eldest princess.
And there are still two short of the seven needles he randomly pulled out in order to gain a foothold.
She was going to solve it all at once today.
There is still an endless stream of people coming and going on the street.
What these people are talking about is naturally the Hepingfang case.
Listening to these noisy discussions, Chen Anning felt as if she was from another world.
After walking through the busy streets and entering Xinghuafang where the Princess's mansion is located, Chen Anning asked: "How are the rescued children arranged?"
"Master Xie issued a notice and invited all the doctors in the capital to Hepingfang to see the children and treat their injuries. After that, he arranged for Young Master Xu to take care of them day and night for half a month." Chun Rui watched her lose weight. With a pale face and a soft voice, he replied, "Afterwards, Mr. Xie took Mr. Wen, Mr. Xu Wu and Mr. Wen to personally register the information of the parents who came to claim their children at the gate of Hepingfang."
"After registering, he took this information to the place where the children were temporarily living and checked one by one. After confirming that the information was accurate, he arranged for the Yulin Army to bring people over in batches to claim the children back. "
Chuntao added quickly: "Mr. Xie gave each family a thousand thousand yuan of money for those who came to claim their children. For those who did not claim their children, each family paid five thousand thousand dollars."
Chun Rui nodded and continued: "It is said that half of the money was found from the underground Colosseum, half was donated by the rich and powerful businessmen in the capital, and half was added by Mr. Xie himself."
"It's not just that." Chuntao added, "The parents of the missing children came to claim them. Master Xie not only gave them money, but also gave them coffins, and even arranged for the Yulin Army to escort them back. Make a home."
"The people in the capital are all praising Master Xie."
The princess's mansion arrived soon.
Chen Anning didn't ask again.
Grandma Li had a lot of things to ask, but looking at her thin cheeks and thin figure, she swallowed all the words back in her stomach.
After welcoming her to Qifengyuan with distress, he immediately ordered people to make ginseng tea without waiting for the eldest princess's instructions.
When the eldest princess and Princess Tongchang saw her appearance, they were too surprised to ask any questions.
Princess Tongchang asked: "Why are you so thin?"
Chuntao said: "For more than a month, Miss Chen Er has almost lived in that Colosseum. Every time Mr. Xie forcibly brought her out to rest, she would not rest for more than two hours before leaving again."
"The case needs to be investigated, and I have to take care of myself." The eldest princess ordered Nanny Li to stew some nourishing medicinal food in the kitchen to replenish her, then turned around and said, "I haven't had a headache in the past month. . You just came back from Hepingfang if you can't do it, and you hurried to my place."
"My body is fine." Chen Anning took the ginseng tea handed over by Grandma Li, took a few sips, and replied with a smile, "I just worked hard for more than a month and lost a lot of weight. After raising it for these few days, I have already lost weight." alright."
"I don't see what's better about it." The eldest princess said disapprovingly, "I won't do any acupuncture today. I'll talk about it after it has been raised for a while and all the lost meat has been eaten back."
"I'm really fine..."
"You are really fine." Princess Tongchang interrupted her with a smile, "But we are in trouble."
"You don't know, right? During these days when you were busy at Hepingfang, Princess Guangling came to the eldest princess's residence to nag Mr. Xie for not knowing how to feel sorry for you."
"We have to let Princess Guangling know later that we ignored your body and let you perform the acupuncture, so she had to come over and scold us."
"So, just take a good rest and wait until you recover."
Chen Anning's eyes faintly fluctuated a few times.
During the second half of the month at the Colosseum, the four maids from the Guangling Palace guarded her almost every step of the way.
Wiping her sweat, reminding her to drink water, and feeding her snacks, it can be said that she is meticulous.
She always thought it was Xie Xun's order.
The eldest princess saw the surprise in her eyes, so she smiled and talked about Princess Guangling's visit to the eldest princess' mansion.
In the end, Chen Anning could not stand up to the eldest princess and Princess Tongchang. After eating a very nourishing lunch, she returned to Chen's house without accomplishing anything.
When you have a good rest and have nothing to do.
She also became interested in inquiring about the progress of the case.
Xie Xun seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. Almost as soon as she asked Chun Rui to go to Hepingfang to investigate, he sent someone to send over relevant information about the case.
After spending half an hour reading all the information, I can summarize it as follows:
According to the account books moved out of the Underground Colosseum, everyone who had ever visited the Underground Colosseum was arrested and brought to justice.
Those who were brought to justice and had official status were all deprived of their official status and their homes were ransacked.
For those without official status, their parents, relatives, and friends are also implicated.
Song Fu's grandfather Song Shizhong was also deprived of his official position and was confined to the Song Mansion and was not allowed to go out without orders. The reason for this is that the current focus of Xie Xun's investigation is still on the account books moved out of the underground Colosseum, and he cannot be taken into account.
It seems that the emperor has also made up his mind on this case.
After Chen Anning read the information again, she was about to take a nap when Mrs. Qiu came.
This time, Chen Anning didn't let her fall short.
Mrs. Qiu hurriedly walked into the house. Without asking anything, she complained first.
Listening to her complaints, Chen Anning suddenly thought of Zhao Ying for some reason.
After entering the underground Colosseum and seeing the boys and girls locked in iron cages, she almost forgot her existence. Now that I thought about it, I suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have seen her in the underground Colosseum.
Moreover, she was not mentioned in the information Xie Xun sent.
"Is Second Miss Zhao back?" Chen Anning asked after waiting patiently for Qiu to finish complaining.
"Who cares whether she comes back or not?" Ms. Qiu said dissatisfied, "Let me ask you, why didn't you tell me that the emperor granted you a marriage to Mr. Xie?"
Chen Anning said calmly: "Wouldn't you know it even if I didn't tell you?"
"I know, I know," Mrs. Qiu became even more dissatisfied, "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with us? Do you still think of me as your mother?"
Chen Anning said with a smile: "I'm going to discuss it with you. Can you still prevent the emperor from granting a marriage?"
Mrs. Qiu glared at her fiercely, "It's been almost two months since the Emperor granted you and Mr. Xie a marriage, and there's still no movement from the Guangling Palace. Do you know what people outside are saying about you now?"
Chen Anning said disapprovingly: "They have mouths, they can say whatever they want."
"You want to make me angry, don't you?" Mrs. Qiu stretched out his hand to poke her forehead. After being stopped by her cold eyes, he snorted, "Your Majesty granted me the marriage, and the Guangling Palace dared not to do anything. I will wait until you pass the door." , I was bullied, don’t come back and hug me and cry!”
"You can rest assured," Chen Anning said calmly, "If they bully me, it's definitely because of you."
Qiu said angrily: "Have you ever said that about your parents?"
Chen Anning looked at her: "Am I wrong?"
Qiu wanted to say something was wrong, but she couldn't.
And it turns out she was right not to say it.
Because that night, Song Shizhong's people came to the door.
