Because she knew this, Princess Changying felt even more uncomfortable.
Even though she finally entered the palace this time, Concubine De didn't pay much attention to her, and Empress Fang didn't even give her a good look. Who didn't know that she was already down and out
But Li Gui Niang has a very bad reputation...
She just felt depressed and ordered people not to mention the Shen family again. When she saw Aunt Shi coming over to pour tea, she sighed and said, "At last, I have ended up like this."
Aunt Shi bent down and lifted the blanket for her, and advised her softly: "Princess, you should take care of yourself. Anger is harmful to your health..."
Nowadays, who cares about whether it hurts the body or not...
Princess Changying closed her eyes and thought carefully about the matter of Lady Xianrong. Suddenly she opened her eyes and asked Aunt Shi to call Manager Li.
Manager Li escorted Li Gui Niang to the other village and also did a few things for Li Gui Niang.
Princess Changying did not ask him to kneel. Seeing that he had drooped his shoulders, she asked him, "Did the princess ask you to inquire about the Wei family's affairs?"
Manager Li replied tremblingly.
Princess Changying then asked, "Later, the matter was over, and the Wei family also said that it was over. Anyway, nothing happened, so forget it. Who had the idea to invite the seventh daughter of the Wei family to the other manor in the evening?"
Manager Li scratched his head and said, "It was the Lady of Xianrong County. The Lady said that since we are all members of the royal family in name now, it would be embarrassing if we didn't invite her, so she asked someone to invite her. Our girl got angry and refused to come out."
Princess Changying nodded slowly, waved her hand and asked him to leave.
Using people as pawns is fine once or twice, but seeing Li Gui Niang fall to this state, Xianrong County Lady dared to take action...
I don’t know whether to say that she is too cruel or too vicious.
Princess Changying laughed, straightened her clothes, and made up her mind.
It was already dark, and the lanterns in the Dingbei Marquis's mansion were already lit. The Second and Third Madams met Old Madam Wei at the Chuihua Gate and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so late, I was still worried that something had gone wrong."
Old Mrs. Wei held Wei An with her other hand and tightened her grip.
It's just that something went wrong. Li Gui Niang is just like a sticky candy that can't be shaken off, which really makes people uncomfortable.
Wei An, however, still looked normal.
Yonghe didn't take her seriously, and Li Gui Niang couldn't cause any harm to her, so she didn't take these people seriously.
The meal was already ready. When the kitchen heard that the old lady had returned, they estimated the time and served the dishes. Old Mrs. Wei and Wei An changed their clothes and came out, and the meal was already on the table.
After Old Lady Wei finished her meal, the Third Lady looked at Wei An. Just as she was about to say something else, someone outside reported that Prince Zheng had arrived.
So late?!
King Zheng never came to someone's house without saying hello, and he was always extremely cautious in his actions.
Even Old Madam Wei was a little surprised. She subconsciously glanced at Wei An, then looked at the Third Madam and the Second Madam, and ordered in a deep voice, "Please come in!"
The Third Madam swallowed back what she was about to say, and quickly ordered someone to go out and invite the guests. She and the Second Madam left first.
Old Madam Wei already knew something was wrong. When she saw Prince Zheng coming in with a bad look on his face, she immediately sat up straight and asked directly, "What happened?"
King Zheng's face turned pale. He glanced at Wei An before saying, "Qing He is missing."
Qing He?!
It took Mrs. Wei a while to react. She clenched the handle of the chair and cried out in surprise, "What?!"
Qinghe was an old servant of Ming Yuyou. If she had not sneaked out before and was discovered by Young Master Lin and given to King Zheng, King Zheng would not have known that Ming Yuyou actually had a child.
Old Madam Wei was startled, and felt her heart beating very fast. She asked again, "Why did he disappear for no reason?"
King Zheng also looked unhappy. After Wei An's matter was completely settled, Qing He's existence had little meaning, so he thought about finding a good place for her.
But Qinghe was unwilling and cried and begged, saying that she had nowhere else to go and asked him to show mercy.
However, although Wei An's background has been determined and he will not cause any trouble, Qing He's existence is still a hidden danger. After thinking it over, King Zheng decided to place her in his fiefdom.
But before I could do anything, the person had disappeared.
He shook his head: "She disappeared on the way... I originally planned to send her to Qingzhou, and the people I sent were all reliable, but when the news came back, she was gone."
Mrs. Wei felt her temples throbbing violently. She reached out and pressed them. Then she felt a little dizzy and asked, "Did he run away by himself, or what?"
Qinghe is just a girl. No matter how powerful she is, where can she go
Old Mrs. Wei had already thought of the worst outcome.
King Zheng really shook his head and said, "She didn't run away on her own. If she did, my subordinates would have found her. Qing He is just a weak woman after all. Where could she run to?"
He paused and said with difficulty: "According to my opinion, she might have escaped with the help of someone from the inside."
But why run away
Old Mrs. Wei didn’t quite understand. Didn’t Qinghe say that she was Ming Yuyou’s loyal servant
King Zheng had always been very tolerant towards Qinghe. Old Lady Wei had asked about Qinghe before. King Zheng said at that time that he had asked Qinghe's opinion and Qinghe said that she did not want to go back to the Wei family and cause trouble for them. So Old Lady Wei gave Qinghe five hundred taels of silver, thinking that according to King Zheng's idea, she would send Qinghe far away and buy a house somewhere outside, such as Zhangzhou, where the people are more open-minded. Under the supervision of King Zheng's people, she could set up a female household or get married. It would be up to her.
Everything has been made so clear, why does Qinghe still have other thoughts
King Zheng frowned even more, and after a while he said with a serious face: "She wants to be my concubine."
Ever since Qing He followed Ming Yuyou, she felt that she was also King Zheng's person. It was precisely because of this idea that she was able to follow Ming Yuyou all the way and endure on the farm for so many years.
That's why she could have told Wei An the truth directly, but when she found out that Prince Zheng was also in Tongzhou, she abandoned Wei An and ran towards Prince Zheng without hesitation.
She was not so loyal just for Ming Yuyou or Wei An. The only person she cared about and wanted to be loyal to was King Zheng.
Now that King Zheng has shattered her wish, she naturally cannot stay.
But where did she go? Where could she go? And who was the person who helped her escape
Old Madam Wei frowned and looked at King Zheng: "What do you think?"
