Concubine Yu stayed quietly for several days. Every day, apart from visiting Chu Jingan, she would recite and embroider scriptures in the small Buddhist hall.
She didn't respond for a long time, but Princess Linjiang only received good news.
First came Chu Jingwu’s letter.
This has been a long time since she last heard this. Her son hasn't spoken to her in a long time. Even if he did, it was just a perfunctory response from people around him. The most recent letter even questioned whether she was the mastermind behind it.
But what he held in his hand now was his son's heartfelt greetings.
This is indeed worth some money.
After weighing it in her hand, Princess Linjiang's narrow eyes flashed with a smile. She handed the letter to Nanny Qin and whispered, "Finally, there is some hope."
What's the point of living life when your husband is alienated and your son is estranged from you
Why should she live like this, enduring her husband's coldness, being angry at her husband, and having to live her life according to other people's faces
She didn't deserve all these sufferings.
From the beginning to the end, she just didn't like the son born to Princess Changle, but she was punished so severely!
The more she thought about it, the colder she felt in her heart. She closed her eyes to calm down and asked Aunt Qin, "Is there any news from over there?"
Nanny Qin's husband has been gone for about a month, and finally so many people have been invited to follow him. Regardless of whether the goal has been achieved, there should be some words of advice sent back to reassure people.
When these things were mentioned, Yinshuang looked at Qingshuang with great discernment, quickly put down her fan and stood up: "Princess, the kitchen is still cooking snow ginseng and chicken soup for you, I'll go see if it's ready."
Qingshuang realized it later, but she knew that she couldn't listen to what was said next, so she quickly stood up.
When the curtain was lowered, Nanny Qin picked up her fan and fanned Princess Linjiang slowly and gently, while replying, "A letter came back yesterday, and it was delivered outside the city. You said that we must not let others know about this and that we must be careful about our whereabouts. So we discussed and decided to send the letter to my husband's brother's house."
This was considered appropriate. After all, no one would go and investigate the home of a brother who was in charge. Princess Linjiang nodded slowly and waited for her to continue.
Nanny Qin continued hurriedly, "My boss said that Lord Cao has not been found yet. I heard that there is indeed chaos over there. After the drought, there was a flood. Dongchang Prefecture was in great turmoil. After the mob killed several county magistrates, they simply occupied the government office. It was very chaotic everywhere and the roads were blocked. Because of this, the news was blocked. Our boss finally found out that Lord Cao Ting had gone to Linyi and had already rushed there."
She said this carefully, fearing that it would upset Princess Linjiang. After all, it had been so long, but nothing had been done.
But Princess Linjiang did not seem too angry.
She knew that when a war breaks out, there will be chaos everywhere, and it is extremely rare to find someone in the chaos.
The reason for sending people there was because we were afraid that Shen Chen would get there first.
Now Shen Chen is still trapped in the capital and no one knows why he has not set out yet. Naturally, she is not in such a hurry, for fear that Shen Chen will leave first.
After all, she had the upper hand. She nodded and said, "You can write to him and tell him that it doesn't matter if he's slow. As long as he finishes what I asked him to do, it doesn't matter if he delays for a while. When he comes back, my promise will come true."
Nanny Qin thanked him profusely and agreed. She bowed her body and pointed to the west respectfully: "As for the matter over there...should we continue to think of a way? After all, their arrogance has just been suppressed. If we don't take this opportunity to completely suppress their tendency..."
Princess Linjiang knew what she meant, and she smiled and shook her head very softly, "Just quit while you're ahead. When you fight with a cow, even if you injure it, you can't kill it right away. If it kicks you in return, it will be more trouble than it gains."
Things will be better if you take it slow. So take it slow.
Nanny Qin responded quickly, fanned herself and went to pour tea: "Then Princess, please take a rest. I will go out and do something."
Princess Linjiang nodded and told her: "Tell the prefect of Fuzhou to keep his mouth shut and know what to say and what not to say..."
As he was speaking, there was a thud outside, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
Princess Linjiang and Nanny Qin could not help but be stunned.
After reacting, Nanny Qin lifted the curtain quickly and quietly.
Through the open curtain, one could see Qingshuang's red ears. She was half-kneeling on the ground, trembling as she used a handkerchief to wipe the stains off someone's shoes.
At this time, the man who can appear in the inner courtyard...
Princess Linjiang's eyes flashed with darkness, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly raised her voice and pretended not to know: "What happened?"
Nanny Qin also reacted and cleverly followed her words and raised her voice: "Princess, it's okay. I don't know what happened to Qingshuang. She couldn't even hold the basin of water steadily and bumped into the prince."
As he spoke, he hurried outside and pointed at Qingshuang and scolded her twice: "You can't even do these little things well. Seeing that the princess treats you leniently, you have become even more ignorant of your master. Why don't you confess your guilt to the prince!"
Princess Linjiang also put on her shoes and lifted the curtain to come out. When she saw this scene, she frowned and said, "Okay, don't be too harsh. It must have been careless."
At the same time, he quickly walked to the side of King Linjiang and said, "Fortunately, the water is cold, otherwise it would be even worse if you got burned..." Then he asked King Linjiang, "Are you okay?"
King Linjiang shook his head and looked at the girl in front of him with some confusion, as he felt that she looked very familiar.
But for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen this girl.
Princess Linjiang nodded at Qingshuang and asked her to leave: "Go ahead, be careful next time you're on duty."
Qingshuang left gratefully, and Prince Linjiang walked in and sat next to Princess Linjiang. Looking at the tea and fruit plate on the kang table, he said casually, "You are free."
Princess Linjiang raised her eyes and saw Nanny Qin coming up to serve her new tea, so she smiled and said, "I have nothing to do all day, so I am just killing time. How come you have time to come here today, Your Majesty?"
In fact, she knew in her heart that after the incident, Prince Linjiang still had some grudges against Concubine Yu, so Bina was unwilling to give her face on some things, fearing that she would really take advantage of her favor and become spoiled and have some inappropriate thoughts.
This time, I came here just to show it to Concubine Yu, so as to urge her to be careful with her words and actions and not make mistakes again.
But even if you know it, you don’t have to say it out loud. (To be continued)
